September 2, 2007 at 11:46 AMHi henning! Thanks for your quick reply. Let me ask you some more questions. Do you have the governmental institution in charge of determining the gender of new words? Which gender do you tentatively choose when you have no way of knowing the right one? If I were you, I would select the neuter gender!

September 2, 2007 at 11:01 AMHi henning, An off-topic question about feminine/masculine/neuter nouns. How do you officially determine the gender of a newly-coined or imported word in German? What do you usually do when you use a new word of which gender has not been determined? Are there any tips?

September 2, 2007 at 7:24 AMHi goulnikly and billybobjoebobwilly !! 非常感谢你们宝贵的意见。 我把上面的帖子改一改吧！ 美国总统事实上是由人民直接选出的。 总统竞选活动就像圣诞派对一样热闹。 美国人真知道如何充分享受基本人权。 那样民主选举制度不得不让人很羡慕。 我总佩服美国人但是这十年来我觉得 美国总统选举好像是有点不太理想的。 现总统布什竟就是前总统布什的儿子、 而且美国下任总统可能是前第一夫人。 虽然每个美国公民当然都有参加总统 竞选的权利可我还是感到有点不对头。 中日两国政治家中有很多所谓太子党、 但没想到美国也有类似不愉快的事情。 美国人会推戴华盛顿的后裔为总统吗?

September 1, 2007 at 4:40 AM亲戚称呼很复杂的原因就 在于长幼有序的儒教观念。 历史上日本一直深深受到 中国文化影响所以日本的 风俗也多多少少有些相似。 还有汉语除亲戚关系以外、 烹饪用语很丰富又很细致。 我偶尔看电视烹饪节目时、 一定须事前准备一本词典。 所谓食在中国真名不虚传。

August 29, 2007 at 1:43 PMThat kind of conversation usually doesn't happen between lovers. Probably a typical one between husband and wife.

September 2, 2007 at 12:20 PMHi henning, Thanks again for your answer!! ＞ Chinese "磕头", but don't ask me ＞ how its Gender was determined... A long long time ago in German, there were a lot of henpecked husbands, therefore most Germans naturally considered the word 磕头 a masculine noun. Maybe I am wrong.
