Feb 24	comment	Which fonts show the stroke order of all characters? You can also get to this by expanding the characters in the word dictionary it seems.
Feb 23	comment	Which fonts show the stroke order of all characters? How do I access this feature?
Feb 23	comment	Which fonts show the stroke order of all characters? Stroke orders do differ even when characters are the same between regions: See 必http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_order#Stroke_order_per_polity
Feb 20	comment	Chinese tattoo help Smooth and tenacious actually sounds like really good qualities for a tissue...
Feb 8	comment	What is the meaning of 真是的 I certainly know all the characters here, and mdgb gives me the translation I would expect for the three together like this. In the example context though, I really couldn't even guess at the meaning. I did a search on 你真是的！ and found this thread: chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/… indicating that it's often used as an expression of annoyance like "You're really ... " with the end omitted.
Jan 30	comment	What's the grammatical structure for “<subject> <verbs> like a <noun>” style simile in Chinese I looked at that page before posting, but it's far beyond my current level.
Jan 10	comment	What are the relative literacy rates in for simplified and traditional characters? @StumpyJoePete, I haven't had time to do research on alternative services. If you have a good link, I'd be happy to throw that up, otherwise I'll try to do that this weekend.
Jan 3	comment	What is that use of 得? What dictionary are you using to look up words? I really like MDGB as it seems it does a very good job of picking the correct word boundaries.
Dec 28	comment	回去回来回来回去来来回回来来去去 Are they the same? I couldn't find either in a dictionary, although I did find a lot of other really interesting chengyu. My friend who told me that one of those was an idiom is a poor Mandarin speaker and certainly seemed uncertain about it herself. I suspect she might have been thinking of 来回来去 or 转来转去.
Dec 14	comment	Why were some letters like Q, X, C, chosen for Pinyin which confuse non-Chinese speakers? I found pinyin "letter mismatch" so disruptive, that I deliberately learned zhuyin (bopomofo), which I found to really help clarify the sounds by letting me get away from roman letters that meant very different things to me.
Dec 13	comment	Should Chinese text be grid aligned in game dialogs? does your third paragraph mean that you should not line wrap in such a way that a line starts with punctuation, and it's instead better to dip into the right boundary with punctuation? Does the enumeration comma also follow this rule?
Dec 12	comment	Should Chinese text be grid aligned in game dialogs? I would encourage you to hire a translator or ask reddit.com/r/chineselanguage for help (if the text volume is sufficiently small). If you use Google translate, you're going to get a lot of weird sentences.
Dec 12	comment	一、 marker meaning? Ordinal number? Specifically, there are two commas in Chinese. The one that looks like a traditional English comma is used to separate clauses, the one in the example above is used to separate items in a list. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_punctuation
Dec 5	comment	Benefits of Learning a Chinese Dialect in Addition to Standardized Mandarin I should point out that this article says that learning a second language shows significant cognitive benefit. You're actually talking about becoming trilingual, by learning two additional languages at the same time. There's no data regarding trilingualism in the article you linked. It's possible that while biligualim provides a significant mental benefit, the mental burden of trilingualism doesn't provide any additional benefits but does incur additional costs.
Nov 28	comment	What are the corresponding titles for “Dr.” (in the sense of MD and PhD) in Chinese? Would it be correct/acceptable to call someone with a PhD 博士, or would this be like calling a Dr. Smith 'Mr. Smith' instead? Would you ever actually use 毕业生 as a title in casual conversation, or would this be equivalent to calling someone by an unusual title in English ('College Graduate Smith' is certainly something you could say, but it sounds weird)?
Nov 28	comment	What are the corresponding titles for “Dr.” (in the sense of MD and PhD) in Chinese? Oh, yeah, transliterations was a typo + a sloppy auto correct, I already fixed that.
Nov 28	comment	What are the corresponding titles for “Dr.” (in the sense of MD and PhD) in Chinese? @JamesJiao, Ah, I see it now. I'm used to doing language swaps for certain noun translations, but I didn't realize wiktionary had translation sections, and when I originally searched "Chinese" on the page, it didn't produce a match because of the hidden div. Thanks.
Nov 28	comment	What are the corresponding titles for “Dr.” (in the sense of MD and PhD) in Chinese? @JamesJiao, I looked at the links you posted. I unfortunately still don't know the special title, if any, that a PhD holder has in Chinese. I'm still at a pretty low level in Chinese, and I can't decipher the Chinese doctor page well enough to identify the relevant information.
Nov 16	comment	How to add emphasis to sentences What is the 把 doing here?
Nov 16	comment	How to add emphasis to sentences The original whiteboard text was "I like cheese. I really like cheese. I want cheese. Give me all your cheese. Give me all your cheese now!" I wouldn't really call it a strange sentence, just silly, and kids are silly. One could easily imagine the same structure used in "Give me all your cash now!" as employed by a robber or "Give me all your test papers now!" as employed by a strict teacher collecting papers impatiently.
