I knew quite a few students of Chinese in my time at university, and I loved hearing how the Chinese created words for new things. Their word for "electricity" uses the symbols for "rain" and "kite".
Today I know enough to order dim sum and that's about it.
Thanks for the resource!

Your'e welcome Bruce. I've been working a on project with Chinese and Chocolate. Rather interesting combo.
Rain and Kite is pretty funny!
There may be some regional dialect differences in the Hong Kong version. |
