How to (hand) write Chinese character faster @AngelLeliel or instead, they could maybe ask on some kind of question and answer site for experts, language enthusiasts, and people who have an interest in the Chinese language..? :P |

Chinese input on Windows based on pinyin and tones Yes, it gives me 我 as first too... but then it lists another 2 characters that don't have the 3rd tone |

Chinese input on Windows based on pinyin and tones Not sure if you are referring to the 'Microsoft ABC Pinyin Input Style'? I've tried that, and I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but while it displays characters based on Pinyin you enter, it doesn't seem to use the tones you enter (at least not how I would expect!). For example, wo3 displays 肟, which isn't what I would expect |

Meaning of 一不小心 "He carelessly knocked over the silkworm tray, leaving the floor covered with folia mori" that's not the kind of thing you say every day ;) |

How can I distinguish between Western style spirits and Chinese style spirits (liquor)? I know you said you didn't wan't to discuss it... but most western spirits do have an ABV in the same sort of range as 白酒 (40-60%). |

Ordering food from a menu in a restaurant @jogloran I've never seen 来 used like that - I feel another question coming on! |

Ordering food from a menu in a restaurant As a cultural aside, does anyone else find it odd how waiters/waitresses on the mainland will stand beside you, waiting with pen poised on notepad while you peruse the menu? Some menus can be quite large, and I always feel guilty if I take too long! |

Are “我在哪里可以买火车票” and “我哪里可以买火车票” both correct sentences? A bit off-topic, but do you know the meaning of 到 (dào) in these sentences? |

How is 就 (jiù) used? When 就 is used to give emphasis, is it only used with regard to time, or can it be used in other ways? |

How is 就 (jiù) used? So are you saying it's used to say that something will be the case in the future? Like present would be 可 "am able to (now)" and future would be 就可 "will be able to"? |

How to ask someone to take a photo? Well, if I'd known what verb to use I would have used it. But I didn't, so I just said 你可以吗? :P |

What is a good technique for remembering tones? Maybe just me, but I find it much easier to rean with tone marks than with capital letters. |

How to emphasize a word in writing? Good question, but I have some of my own :) "my wife emphasizing that she is not your wife" - how can she be your wife and not be your wife? Also, is 我太太 ever correct, or wouldn't you always refer to your wife as 我的太太? |
