Conversational in Japanese, with limited kanji-reading skills. Also interested in Chinese (Hanzi/Mandarin/Cantonese), though at a very low level currently.

Does 上嗨 work as a pun for 上海? Even I do know that 你好 is the proper traditional Chinese greeting, not "Hi". That absolutely does not answer my question, however. |

Does 上嗨 work as a pun for 上海? Thanks for the input... Indeed, everybody seems to agree that this is not a standard play on words (/hanzi). I am rather confident this is not a typo either, since I imagine it would have been caught long before it started getting shown on TV displays in thousands of subway cars ;-) It is possible that I misread the left part of the character, but I am reasonably certain that the right part was the same as 海, with something added to the left (otherwise it wouldn't have attracted my attention). |

Does 上嗨 work as a pun for 上海? @BertR: It is very possible. I only caught a glance, while busy riding the subway... I thought I saw the word apart from the rest, but it's quite possible it was the ending of a sentence. Judging by the answers, it probably was. |
