Here's another one in an also not so easy language (short version, difficult enough):
De knappe kapper knipt en kapt knap, maar de knecht van de knappe kapper knipt en kapt nog knapper dan de knappe kapper knipt en kapt.
Which language? |

Urh, what the hell is that? I'm sort of perplexed by that array of traditional Chinese characters.
Seems that I need some foreigners to be my super coach. |

Well traditional 繁體 characters are used in Taiwan. Maybe you should move to Taiwan to learn some real Chinese.
After all, the PRC introduced the simplified 簡體 characters as a Chinese for Dummies. |

Yes, loosely translated in English it reads:
| Quote: |
« Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den »
In a stone den was a poet Shi, who was a lion addict, and had resolved to eat ten.
He often went to the market to look for lions.
At ten o'clock, ten lions had just arrived at the market.
At that time, Shi had just arrived at the market.
He saw those ten lions, and using his trusty arrows, caused the ten lions to die.
He brought the corpses of the ten lions to the stone den.
The stone den was damp. He asked his servants to wipe it.
After the stone den was wiped, he tried to eat those ten lions.
When he ate, he realized that those ten lions were in fact ten stone lion corpses.
Try to explain this matter. |

Huh? No, no, no, STV, you missed my point. Time and time I mentioned something you just jump out and spit crappy replies. What's your problem? You dumb fcuk!
I just said I was really perplexed by that array of traditional Chinese characters, not simply the traditional Chinese characters. What I just attempted to mean is that I can't grasp what that array means. There must be something in it?
And yeah, of course the traditional Chinese characters applied in Hong Kong and Taiwan are the real Chinese characters at some point, or say, in some time. But I don't thinks I need some dumb fcuk dummies like STV to tell me what I should do. All what I'm gonna do is to ignore their provocative shiithead rigmaroles and
somniloquies.
So fcuk off you, STV. |
