October 25, 2008 at 11:28 AMI love hearing the Taiwanese whenever they speak Mandarin!:)
- Usually from what I've noticed, they interchange some R-initials as L-initials.
e.g.
漢字：讓我們歡迎MR. PIG.
通常發音：rang wo men huan ying Mr. Pig!
台灣發音: lang wo men haan ying Mr. Pig!
2. They pronounce "zh,ch&sh" as "z,c,s" to the point that there is no such thing as ㄓ,ㄔ&ㄕ.
漢語：帥哥！的嗎? 妳是誰? 春天.
通常發音: shuai ge! zhen de ma? ni shi shei? chun tian?
台灣發音: sai ge! zen de ma? ni si sei?
3. They pronounce -ia- (as in tian: 甜) as -e- (BoPoMoFo ㄝ as in: Elephant; not the ㄜ one (個；ge).
漢語：一天到睡覺。那麼嚴重嗎？
通常發音: yi tian dao wan shui jiao. Na me yan zhong ma?
台灣發音: yi ten( as in 10) dao wan swei/sei jiao. Na ma en zong maa?
These are one of the reasons why I like hearing them speak...:)
Did I miss anything regarding the Taiwanese accent?

October 18, 2008 at 7:02 AMIf 氧 is Oxygen and 二氧化碳= （2 Oxygen molecules that are "carbonized“)= CO2,then what is NaCl (table salt)=鹽 or 鈉氯？
Also, how do you say CH3COOH(Acetic acid)?
I've also noticed in the Chinese Table of elements that METALs have 金radicals and gases have 气 radicals. How is the element group with the 石 radicals called?
