jane2006, 你是男人吗？

hello very body

如果你能看懂我就竖大拇指

ru guo ni neng kan dong wo jiu shu da mu zhi

means: give me a thumbs up if you can read this

(if you can read this,i accept,you are the first)

Thanks, I tried it on Facebook's Human Pets, you get extra points for thumbs up on messages. For some reason it wouldn't post the whole sentence though, so I just put 给我翘拇指 in the end. Got 4 thumbs up so far. :)

如果你看得懂就給我竪拇指（or 翹拇指）。

How would you say "give me a thumbs up if you can read this." ?

"该是燃烧地板的时候了。" But I suppose it's meant to be an expression. :)

How would you say "it's about time to make the floor burn."? ;)

A raver is someone who likes to attend raves. ;)

Wikipedia defines a rave as follows:

A rave (or rave party) is an all-night dance event where DJs and other performers play rave music and other types of electronic dance music for dancers, with the accompaniment of colored lights, projected images, and laser effects.

I've never really been to a proper one myself but I really like the style of music they play.

Looks like 'raver' is 锐舞者 in Chinese.

haha, Bazza, maybe it's cause i'm living in exile, but what on earth is a raver? i need an English translation first ;)

How would you say "this one goes out to all the ravers in the nation."? ;)

Hi guys.

Just for the record, the "hand-foot-mouth disease" is due to the COXSACKIE virus, not cox virus (sorry for the bold type; I can't underline or italicize.) And, yes, it only affects children. I don't know about "hoof and mouth" as I am not a vet doc : )

多谢 :)

Hi Bazza,

Your sentences, monsieur:

我现在正在开会。

Wǒ xiànzài zhèngzài kāihuì.

如果名单上没有你的名字，你不能进来。

Rúguǒ míngdān shang méiyǒu nǐ de míngzi, nǐ bùnéng jìnlai.

"If your name's not down, you're not coming in!" ?

I'm in a meeting at the moment.

this would be a useful service if it was searchable, or at least the topic was easily retrieved as I indicated in another post there's no such feature it seems.

@Leviathan, you're quite right, I think. Foot and mouth disease (or hoof and mouth disease) is 口蹄疫, where as 手足口病 is the Cox virus. 口蹄疫 is in the dictionary correctly, and I submitted a change for 手足口病 (remember, it's a collaborative dictionary, so you can submit those changes too!)

Hi Bazza and TaiPan,

It's an interesting question to come from you two guys. I will be looking forward to your visits so I can judge for myself, haha!

OK, so I've had to act out the two situations you asked about to Connie, and I think she got my drift, after a lot of gestures and pointing to the bum. Here are the translations:

穿这个我的屁股看起来大吗?

(Chuān zhège wǒ de pìgu kàn qilai dà ma?)

Does my bum look big in this?

穿这个会让我的屁股看起来大吗?

(Chuān zhège huì ràng wǒ de pìgu kàn qilai dà ma?)

Does this make my bum look big?

Bazza,

I think your sentence would be a great Qing Wen topic...

What's the Chinese difference between: "Does my bum look big in this?" and "Does this make my bum look big?"

Grammatically, what's the difference? Is this a shi...de construction? ...and how do you say, "No you insecure cow, your big bum makes your bum look big!"?

i have a Question

手足口病

two different viruses

Hand foot and mouth is the Cox Virus, And effects children

Foot and Mouth affects only animals.
