People do call others 喂 (it's like saying 'OI', which I personally find it quite rude, but it doesn't really matter if you're close with the person you are calling 喂), but it's pronounced as wei4.

喂 wei2 is more like asking/questioning due to the tone. So when someone answer the phone and say 喂 (wei2), it's like saying 'hello?'.

Correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm not totally sure.

[ritzy!]

May someone please help me type out these characters? Please?

Is "wei" (it's not typing correctly for me for some reason, so I'm using "pinyin") really only used on the phone? I also hear it all the time in dramas and it's not being used just on the phone.

喂 is used on the phone as well as it is used in everyday life. It can be translate to, "hey" or like someone said, "oi". You know how someone people say, "HEY! That's not fair." You can use that for, "喂! 不公平耶!" Same meaning with the "wei!" and the "HEY!". Or you can use it to address someone who's not paying attention to you, "喂, 你喔!" "Hey you!"

Stuff like that, basically, if you can use it with "Hey" or "Oi" you probably can use it with "喂".

Don't call strangers "wei" though, it's rude.

[daulism]

^ hahaa... yeah i just screenshot that.
just wanna make sure that its correct, and it's excatly what it says.

[Xiaoba1tu]

Xin fu (the last two words) mean prosperous/lucky, not happy.

[daulism]

^ ... so it'll be "be lucky forever"?

[Xiaoba1tu]

^ ... so it'll be "be lucky forever"?

Forever lucky.

[trabia-wind]

^ i don't think it should be lucky.. that'd be more like 幸运
prosperity is the best translation haha, but for that kinda couple-y thing i think happy is a better approximation than lucky

Chinese has rules. English doesn't. lulz

[snowytearz]

^ LOLOL
I find Mandarin hard to understand
I speak basic cantonese...I want to master speaking it!

Anyways I've been watching 'Smiling Pasta' and there's a particular word Cyndi Wang says sometimes to describe the male lead
The english subtitles is broken english & varies even though I know they're saying the same word.
I don't know how to write it on the computer but it's pronouced like 'Ka woo'? LOL
Does it mean 'butthead' or something else?

[trabia-wind]

snowytearz - haven't watched that.. but maybe you're talking about 可恶..? ke3 wu4
basically means "despicable" but not so strong.. i find that girls use it in dramas all the time when they get pissed off at the male lead for doing something like say.. cheating on their girlfriend.. or treating their employees badly

[snowytearz]

^ yep that sounds about right =]
Thanks so much~
