I have been on multiple sentence bases and have found words such as 胡言乱语,词不达意。。。But is there another, better term?

    Better in what sense? The examples you give are great for what they say. Apr 5, 2015 at 13:19
  • Right like Colin said, what's the context?

  • what is a sentence base? Anyhow online dictionaries contain many more possible translations with example sentences。(iciba e。g。has 5 to begin with,all different from the 2 in above question)

  • I heard 鸟语 used before to refer to "unintelligible language", but it depends on the context as said by the fellows here above. Apr 8, 2015 at 6:24
  • I think 胡言乱语 is a very good translation. You need a context to suggest better translations for that particular context.
