<![CDATA[Comments on: Talking with Numbers]]> 2009-01-31 18:00:00 <![CDATA[By: changye]]> Seriously, my home telephone number was "xxxx -xxx - 5174" before, which was always laughed at by my Chinese friends, since it sounded just like "我要气死！" (wo3 yao4 qi4 si3, Damn it!). I didn't know this at all when I selected the number at a telephone office. 真是气死我了！

P/S. That said, the number was very easy to remember.

I don't know what you're talking about. Both lessons were about slang, but the content is completely different.

Hi all,

Courtesy of connie, here are the words in today's lesson:

88，886： 拜拜bāibāi，再见zàijiàn，

拜拜了 bāibāi le

3166： 再见 zàijiàn

521： 我爱你！wǒ ài nǐ！

748： 去死吧！qù sǐ ba！

7456： 气死我了。qì sǐ wǒ le.

5555： 呜呜呜呜 wūwūwūwū

818： 来八卦一下 lái bāguà yīxià

8484： 不是不是 bù shì bù shì

9494： 就是就是 jiùshì jiùshì

5757577： 我吃，我吃，我吃吃 wǒ chī，wǒ chī，wǒ chī chī

我也要說說 Numbers

今天是農曆正月初七 "人日" 根據中國傳統習俗，當日為眾人的生日。

典故﹕

根據西漢時期東方朔的《占書》記載，農曆新年的首八天

為不同畜牧作物的生日，依次序為「一雞二狗、三豬四羊、

五牛六馬、七人八穀。」

故此，每年正月初一為雞的生日，初二為狗的生日，

初三為豬的生日，初四為羊的生日，初五為牛的生日，

初六為馬的生日，初七為人的生日，最後初八為穀的生日。

祝 大家生日愉快﹗

It must have 300 different "phrases" encoded on it. Even though she has teenage children she only understands a handful of them.
