Profile
I studied Chinese in Hong Kong. Traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese was not born yet. The teachers taught us to read and write. However, we didn't have to learn grammar. In US, I by-passed high school and went straight to college. At that time, most of the students were veterans under GI bills; they were retrained for their jobs. In college, we learned mostly to read. The exams were true/false-type questions. If you don't believe me, ask your grandparents. My reading and listening ability is 100% native. But I haven't spoken Mandarin for more than 20 years, so it is a bit rusty. Thus, I would like some help in this area. I like home theater, martial art ( 武術) and exercising to maintance my six pack abs.

    繁体是正楷, 简体是草書. Both Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese are traditional chinese characters, they should pronounce the same. For example, "I have" is the same as " I've". People who learned "I have" will picked up the simplified word " I've" naturally. Similary, people who learned traditional chinese will automatically pick up simplified chinese. Pinyin use english alphabets, In Taiwan, they use chinese alphabets. But, functionally, they are the same.

    "富有" means wealthy, " 有钱" means rich. Single chinese character may leads to a lot of different meanings, it have to be two or more characters in forming an unique meaning.

    During my elementary school year, a very annoying boy, he always stalkers me. I told him bug off and finally I yell at him "I wouldn't marry you". All the students hear it and quiet down immediately.

    While is past, when is present. " 当我在上海的时候，我想遇到我的中国朋友们。The chinese sentence is a statement of the past event. Meaning, while I was in Shanghai, ....... In Chinese, while and when is the same, it depends on the construction of the full sentence. Native Chinese can tell 'while" or "when" by just looking at your statement of fact.

    Understandable!!! 1. Havn't you any fun yet? 2. Have you stared having fun? 3. Are they the same? In oral conversation, changing the statement to a question, "They're the same", you need to raise your voice. But, in writting I wasn't able to notice that "the same" has been raised. So, it is a statement. My answer to your question, they are not the same.

    How come you ask the question and why you wouldn't get the correct answers ! Here, the "how come" and "why" means the same. It is called diction. In chinese, a single character has too many meanings. We need to have two or more words to make its meaning unique. "忙" means busy, we add 匆 or 急 to form an unique meaning.匆忙, 急忙, 匆匆忙忙，急急忙忙. are the unique names for busy." 重叠" here, the word "重" and "叠" both means repeat, when these words combining together, it forms an unique word means repeat.
