May 27, 2010 at 10:50 AMI have a question about transliterations. I know that Mandarin phonotactics limit the "fidelity" of transliterations from other languages, but it seems that we could do a lot better than 夏威夷 - say, 哈外夷. Does Chinese limit itself still further by taking some syllables out of contention? :)

Glad you agree, Zoey's awesome!
In other news, sorry for using the wrong "ta1" (the first one anyhow) in my praise for her! :)

March 17, 2010 at 5:00 PMI know I'm a little late on this, but I'm curious about one thing: is this poem, when read aloud, comprehensible to a native Chinese speaker? I think the answer has to be "no," but I just thought I'd ask. :)

December 11, 2010 at 7:44 PM那么＂申请到＂的意思其实是＂to successfully apply, to be accepted＂吗？
