In American English, children like to speak to one another in a special language called "Pig Latin" that so that adults would not know what they are saying. You simply take ordinary English words, move the first consonant cluster to the back, and add "ay". If there is no consonant, just add "way" or "hay". For example, "Look at that person drinking beer" in Pig Latin is "Ook-lay at-way at-thay erson-pay inking-dray eer-bay". Is there a popular obfuscation system for Chinese?

I've been learning Chinese, and I have learned two different words, that I believe mean roughly the same thing. In what situations do you use 可以? And what times do you use 能? Or are they interchangeable?

I wish she didn't make an account. This is my private place and now I feel invaded. I don't want to delete but knowing that she has one makes me feel like I have to be on guard on what I write. About him.

I've been studying Mandarin Chinese at my school for three years now, and I would like to start doing some independent reading as well. I would really appreciate it if you could tell me of some books (preferably for teens, meaning fiction or other types that teens might find interesting) written in mandarin. Thank you!

How do you say "This movie is set in a temple." in Mandarin, Chinese? + also how do you use 人人皆知 in a sentence? I know what it means but I don't know how to put it in a sentence. Thanks.

So since I am Chinese and so are my parents, I want to take mandarin Chinese. I am 14 so this is embarrassing. But I do know 3 other languages, fuzhou dialect from birth, English from school and stuff, and Spanish for 2 years. Mandarin vocab is easy but what I can’t seem to get is recognizing the tones and remembering tones for words. This is the hardest part for me aside from the characters and some English words have more than 1 Chinese counterpart for definition. So how can I recognize tones and remember tones easier for words! xie4 xie ni2
