Sample Sentences

哈哈，常用词语甚至句子的输入是可以用首字母缩写的，比如说，“什么”，你就输入两个字的首字母“SM”，“生日快乐”就输入“SRKL”，快多了吧！
hāhā ，chángyòng cíyǔ shènzhì jùzi de shūrù shì kěyǐ yòng shǒu zìmǔ suōxiě de ，bǐrú shuō ，“shénme ”，nǐ jiù shūrù liǎng gè zì de shǒu zìmǔ “SM ”，“shēngrì kuàilè ”jiù shūrù “SRKL ”，kuài duō le ba ！
Haha, if you regularly use a word, or even a phrase, you can just use the first letter of each character as shorthand, like, for example, if you want to type "什么" or "what", you can just type in the first letter of each character "SM", for "生日快乐" or "Happy Birthday" you just have to type "SRKL". It's so much faster!
