language my mother's parents are wooden teller super
Today was, I think, the third time I got my lesson on how to talk about family members in Chinese.
I have a huge denial about this. But today, I decided to start paying attention. Discuss
family members is very complicated in China. One must not only take into account gender when speaking of the hermanos.Hay also take into account the age of them, if they are older or younger than you. And when you talk about your guys, you have to consider whether they are children of maternal or paternal grandparents.
My favorite part of the matter is this: Chinese paternal grandfather is said 爷爷 (yeye), paternal grandmother 奶奶 (nai nai), maternal grandfather 外公 (waigong), and maternal grandmother 外婆 (WAIPA).
Because I find it interesting?: 外 (wai) means "outside, strange, outside (in fact, in Chinese 外国人 (wai guo ren) means" foreigner ", literally" outside country person ").
And the grandchildren of the maternal branch are also condemned, in Chinese, to come from outside: grandson 外孙 (waisun), granddaughter, 外孙女 (waisunnv).
talked to my teacher about this: "According to tradition, when someone gets married, the bride goes to belong to the groom's family." From Still today, this tradition has been weakened in many cases.
Traces of the same, as in many other cases have been in the language. And as in many other cases, language is a reflection of culture a document what is, or what has been.

But something caught my attention: it was not just a role.
I grabbed it, look: I realized after a moment it was the grocery bill, plus 20 yuan.
not understand anything. Thinking, thinking.
After a while I remembered: on two days had gone to the supermarket.
The cashier, who is very talkative, I was entertained with conversation as they put everything in my bags.
remember that you pay 100 yuan. I remember it was around 80 yuan what I had to pay. But recently when I saw the money on my door, I remembered I had not got my back.
I do not understand is how he knew this girl where I live.
I do not understand is how you take the trouble of coming to my house to leave me 20 yuan, money that I had completely forgotten.

The communication problems. And they go ..... ONE YEAR AGO
Suni Jing jing and invited us to dinner. Exceptionally
Richard was in good spirits.
The conversation at times was, for me, very funny. Jing Jing and Suni, I suppose, do not think so. Jing Jing
: So Richard, since you bought a gift to your mom? Richard
: My mom? No, I hate that woman!
Jing Jing, astonished face excessive Suni
without words. Richard looks at me look at me and Richard again.
Stella, choking with laughter food that gave the whole situation. Jing Jing
: But Richard, that you're saying is very ugly. Because what you say? Richard
(completamtente serious) The only thing we have in common that woman and me is that we hate each other.
is seen that without realizing it I started to laugh a lot, because Jing Jing said with a smile not quite sure of herself: "These
crazy! Why you reis?
And we eat. And bla bla bla. The food is fantastic. If that rich. ja ja ja
And so for a while. Until .... Jing Jing
: Then, they will do tomorrow? Stella
: None. Able to go to that park for kids that are in Tongling. Jing Jing
: But it is for kids, because you want to go? Stella
: Not to do something different. Richard
: Dale go, but before going to the park we go to sex shop. I need to buy some things. Jing Jing
froze. No speech. Do not know which side to put. Suni
disappeared from the scene. I had the feeling that had been hidden under the table, because let's hear it even breathe. Stella
laughs than ever before. Jing Jing looks at me without understanding that I laugh.
A fun they did not like the joke.
final stretch. We are about finished eating incredibly delicious dinner.
talk about food, travel I did, the places you want to go next month.
But suddenly, out of the hat, leaving a question that disturbs me: Jing Jing
: Stella, you are proud of your country? Stella
: EHHHHH?
(Richard I began to whisper: "He said that if, decided that if")
Jing Jing (with a smile): If you're proud of your country. Stella
: And why do you ask?
(RIchard, so under "Do not start Stella, you know how it is. He said that if")
Jing Jing: No, that's your country. I guess These proud of him.
Stella: Well, no. Not to say, sometimes it can be, but ... Jing Jing
(giant eyes open): No? How odd?
(Richard looks like a fly "Basta Stella, and we decided that if anything else.")
Stella: What do we mean to be proud? You are proud of China? Why? Jing Jing
: Yeah, right! Because China is my country! Stella
: Y? Jing Jing
: And so. I have to be! Stella
:....... Jing Jing
:..........
(Richard "always make the same. Do not you realize that's a question of courtesy. You ask and you answer "Yes" and move on. It is a form of "kindness" Richard said after a little annoying.)
The Jing Jing had been a question whose answer was supposed I should not have delayed.
Ahi I left without looking at Jing Jing, without understanding. But she also laughed.
was not a serious question, but it was a question. Or at least so I believed it.
Richard jokes were not for her such. And why did not laugh. The Richard's words were something serious, rude perhaps, from their perspective.
Your question was for me a question. And so I thought of the answer.
This type of discomfort, my days are filled in Tongling.
In while it is living it, I try to keep us all patience.
