“一大串英文字中文用四個字就解決了真厲害”

雖然我明明都很喜歡學中文,可是我有時候覺得國語的“密度”也不一定是很勵害(亦即它的對其它語言的優勢)。用四塊石頭蓋房子也很勵害。。。可是誰想住在四個石頭裡面?用四個音符唱一首哥也很勵害。。。可是誰不喜歡巴河的超極多音調的音樂呢?

我覺得關健的差別就是因為中文是個單音結的語言,所以它當然會用比較“農密的”字表達想法。因為每一個音(即在文言文)當獨特的字,所以它們都應該能夠當有意思的字。把死個這些滿密的“獨字”連在一起的話,句子當然會更密的了。另外,看修辭的風格的話,句子越短越會強調單音結的語言的特色,反而多音結的語言比較合適用多音結的句子。雖然國語是很多小孩子母語,反正他們學很密的國語的時候,老師也必需用比較長的比較“多音結的”文法解釋意思。

中文雜技…

實際上的 vs. 事實上的 vs. 實在的…呢?

別把混淆跟淆惑或粉淆跟淆亂混淆吧!

妙復妙,天復天,月復月,年復年...哎呀我望了我要說什麼。

癖好,癖性

聽阿啄仔還使我生氣…

阿啄仔 a-tok-á = "pointy [nosed] one"

It's the Taiwanese word for "gringo".

阿 = familiarizing particle
啄 = pointy
仔 = nominalizing/diminutive suffix

來源: Taiwanese "adoga" meaning

可是我知道我應該別被這個里語激怒。

一月三十號更新:我昨天跟台灣朋為了這個解釋被取笑了。他說啄是不對,其實應該是阿凸仔才對。這個問題只加深我常常跟台灣人的聽的失望因為“道地的”台語都不太表準。

I've seen these:

a) 阿啄仔 (Taiwanese: a-tok-a; Mandarin: a zhuo zai) 啄 means "peck", but apparently 啄鼻 means "hook nose".

b) 阿卓仔 (Taiwanese: a-tok-a; Mandarin: a zhuo zai) 卓 means "high". Compare "gao bizi" - "high nose" = "big nose".

c) 阿凸仔 - 凸 means "protruding", so the meaning is there. However, I don't think the Taiwanese for 凸 ends with -k. Indeed, I believe it ends with -t, but I can't confirm it.

d) 阿兜仔 - 兜 means "sack". This is a common one written rendition, and the middle character is pronounced "dou" in Mandarin. But that sound is merely a Mandarin approximation of "tok". Mandarin doesn't have final consonants like the other Chinese dialects do.

e) 阿豆仔 - 豆 of course means "bean". See the comment for d) above. 豆 is "tau" in Taiwanese, not "tok".

… [and] 阿逗仔
