Right now I am working on the different approaches to "hope" in Chinese culture. Hope plays a major part in daily Chinese thinking, so I would like to know more about the background. Are there any legends about hope? Any god or goddess of hope? Do you have any ideas or even links about this matter?

Ex, yuan, kuai Thank you so much

When I put the word 兴高采烈 in an online translator I got xīnggāocǎiliè. The remainder of your explanation is quite clear, but the first time you wrote xìnggāocǎiliè not xīnggāocǎiliè. Thanks

Thank you very much

I'm working on a small project and I need to learn how to know the Chinese characters for the two phrases. Thanks for your help in advance...

I typed "change" into a Chinese character dictionary and there were multiple results. First it listed what seem to be root Chinese words, and it seems to me the major ones are biàn and gǎi. First, can either of those Chinese words stand alone when used in a sentence, or must they be combined with another word? Secondly, what are the different contexts/meanings of these combinations: biàn chéng biàn de biàn gé biàn gēng biàn huà gǎi biàn gǎi zào While I'm at it, I'd like someone to compare these Chinese words for "improve": gǎi jìn gǎi liáng gǎi shàn

Chinese fascinates me, and I was thinking of learning it some time, but it seems a little difficult. Could someone offer some advice as to whether I should learn to speak Chinese or not?

Hi. I'm working on a project. I know "ai ya" is the most popular one I've heard people use. What other Chinese words are used in Chinese that are similar? Please let me know the Chinese characters for them and please list as many as possible. Thank you.

I would like to say to my Chinese woman in China that I cherish her, and that I love her too much to ever want to hurt nor insult her! Please forgive me, I respect and Honor you! How can I speak Chinese for this to her?
