You guys were a great help!

Okay I have a few questions to ask haha.

First, I was wondering what 暗恋我 meant. If I remember from what people told me, in roman letters that's "An Lian Wo". Now i know "wo" is "I" .. but i have no idea about the rest . Any help? haha

I also was curious as to the word "bu" [不], like what it means. I've always seen it in a negative way, like "bu yao" [[which i think was "don't want"? or something along those lines]] or "dui bu qi" [[which is said after a negative thing i guess..]], so is there a literal translation for what it would be? I know there's probably other ways you can use "bu" but I mean based on negative things like i mentioned..

Aaand one final question, which is going to end up with horrible spelling i'm sure but hopefully you'll be able to get what i'm trying to say even a little bit. What does "da jia hao" mean? I've heard it alot lately when watching music performances, the singer says it to the audience when they first come out. So i assumed it was some form of hello or something? But then i thought "ni hao" means hello, and now, i'm just confused haha.

Any help on this stuff would be appreciated (= Sorry if they are really stupid questions, and also sorry about my [most likely] horrible spelling on my last question..

[nobody knows]

^

as for 不, alone, it's be like "no" basically
"da jia hao" (大家好) is basically like "hi everyone~" or a greeting to more than one person (friendly greeting) "Ni hao" (你好) is more like saying "hi" to one person or a bit more formal?


and your pin yin is quite good actually =v= better than mine -o-

[kshismine]

1 for the first one, 暗恋我 means someone falls in love with me secretly, 暗恋 means unrequited love.
2 bu "不" means no or not, "dui bu qi" is a phrase which means "sorry". you couldn't guess the meaning word by word. i think "bu" can be considered as a prefix, like "un-". it's negative. just my thought.
3 "da jia hao" is just a greeting. when you faced a lot of people or audience, you can greet "da jia hao". "ni hao" means "hello or hi"

[tengteng]

can someone translate the meaning in eng

石楠

i know it says ling

but what does it mean pm mepls!

Photinia Lindl.
It's a kind of plant.

[Rhapsodyy]

Aa thank you JapaneseObsession, and kshismine for your help! And i'm glad I spelled "da jia hao" right haha, i was going by ear so I didn't know for sure if it would be right or not xD

Anyways another quick question [[sorry for all the questions, i'm just excited to finally have a place where I can ask questions about chinese cause i've always wondered a lot of stuff haha]], what does "yi zi shen gong" mean? I don't know what the symbols for it would be, because it was only written in pin yin, but hopefully that's not a problem..

I hope i'm not bothering everyone with my questions ;;

一指神功
yi zhi shen gong


literally translated into power of one finger, like maybe you can type sms very fast, or in those martial arts dramas, I think it's some kind of martial art.

Maybe someone else here can help you better with the meaning

一指神功 (yi zhi shen gong) is used in Chinese martial dramas where one has deep knowledge about martial arts and can kill / hurt someone without breaking a sweat. For example(in dramas/series), they(the one that has deep knowledge about martial arts) is meditating(cross-legged), and another person is trying to assasinate him/her, then the person that is meditating would usually kill them in their sitting position and then keep on meditating like nothing had happened.
So tengteng is write, except I don't get the type sms very fast part, but it's mostly used in martial arts.
I hope that helped you!

薛凱琪 - 男孩像你

男孩們來約我一般送花 而無人能似你親手種花
但男孩像你 不要我下嫁
男孩們能有你般纖細嗎 談情時和我那種感性嗎
但男孩像你 只愛同類嗎

*假使間這一刻我要你憑良心
想一想 揀一揀 實在是和誰襯
你會說是命運 你與我其實熟得很 但他總比較親
好知己好姊妹 那裡會談情感
不牽手不親咀 但是亦能陪我 下半生
問你這夜最後 送誰回家 我信那個會是我
但我心裡知道 男孩像你 不想跟妹妹拍拖
共你笑著說著 戲劇時裝 那怕錯過了幸福 彼此搓陀
仍然可以彼此幫助 沉悶晚上相約渡過

寒流來何以你先擁抱他 回頭時才替我遮擋雪花
是從甜蜜裡 分我甜蜜嗎
如從前無法碰到這個他 和良朋能夠變出戀愛嗎
若然矇著眼 又能投入嗎

repeat *

像個世上最壞 愛情童話 最襯你那個是我
就算都算相愛 仍然沒法比兄妹浪漫更多
共我繼續約會 喝茶談天你說勝過了共他一起消磨
為何他會得到寶座 長伴身邊的卻是我

01. Next time (ha ci ha ci)

04. ------- (It wouldn't make any sense in English) (taung but shuai)
05. Little Plateau's 1234 (I think you have the second Chinese Character wrong, because that's not a word.) (xiu hub ko zi yi yie sam sie)

15. Madonna's Kiss (mek dong na yi men)
16. Lord is a guy (shuang di hei nam hai)
17. XBF
18. ----'s mail reply (the first five chinese characters are translated from English to Chinese, it'll be a lot harder to translated back. So hopefully someone will know what's Song 18.) (kei lou lei wai si wui shun)

For the Chinese lyrics, I think you should request in the Lyrics section. There are people who are taking requests right now in that forum. I think you can find one on page one of the Lyrics thread.

what it means? please:) thank you very much...

02. Staircase Corner (lau tai juen gok)

i have an odd request. for people who have traditional chinese phones and want to txt msg. I have stroke or pin yin as writing methods. does anyone know the numerical keys to say "are you back from hong kong yet, how was the flight?"

that would be so awesome and I thank you in advance.

edit - it's actually easier i do pin yin because then i can spell it out in english and find the character in chinese, but i have no idea how to speak mandarin so I wont understand it at all :S is there a reason why the phone can't let you pin yin in cantonese but can do it in mandarin?

Are you back from Hong Kong yet? How was the flight?

你从香港回来了吗? ni cong xiang gang hui lai le ma?
(I don't know how to translate ' How was the flight? ' correctly.)

I think if you were to type it into the phone, I think you need the ping yin for the complicated chinese.
I am not sure.
I hoped that helped you anyway.
``christyy. (:

Thanks a bunch chr1stych3n and heartmonster!!!

oh my thank you so much, that will work!! I manage to type it into the phone using pin yin just fine. But do you know why this is so? i am guessing stroke method would be for anyone who can write, but pin yin is only for mandarin speakers?

[kshismine]

i think "how was the flight?" can be translated into " hang ban shun li ma?" or " fei ji shang hai hao ma?"

[xinfinite]

i remember dling a program from one of the links on page one. it was a cantonese romanizer program.. im trying to find the program again but the link is dead. does anyone have another link or maybe an online romanizer? cantonese is so hard to learn -.-
