October 24, 2009 at 3:59 AMhehe,I was thinking 哪怕。。where afraid...made a lot of sense for meaning "even if" when I first saw it.It's like even if ..such and such a circumstance...where/why should I be afraid o' tha'...it's not going to deter me from this course of action.It's hard to imagine there's not a link there originally.
I liked the Celine Dion music ending off the show.
I'm clear on the gradation of formal to informal with the 3 words.Maybe I need to listen again to see if there are any more clues though on determining whether the situation calls for the formal.

October 22, 2009 at 1:18 PM那，上你的自行车 [on yer bike then] ..j/k mate :)
Interesting origin to this saying:
"It originated in Wales in the 19th century. You see in the Welsh valleys there was a tendency for young men to marry local girls. After several generations, in really small communities, everybody was closely related to everyone else. The advent of the bicycle was a godsend and many a you man was told to 'get on your bike' when he came calling on his 1st cousin once removed. So it was a quick pedal over the hills and far away to find a fresh wife."
Are there any chengyu's or other sayings about bikes in Chinese?
