<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Like every other place on this planet, even in China there’s a recurring use of slang, or a series of expressions and words that make up a jargon in place of the common language. <\/p>\n
Slang, in Chinese (\u4fda\u8bed, liyu), covers a vast gamut of types: local dialect, jargon and also insults and curses (which we won’t cover here). <\/p>\n
Slang represents that popular culture as it’s an informal way of speaking confined to a specific circle. It’s a language that’s rather vulgar,crass and simple but its intrinsic meaning can be quite profound and eloquent. <\/p>\n
Slang has always been a part of life for the Chinese and anyone wishing to study this world<\/a> must also immerse themselves in this type of language. To give an example, let’s use the word (\u6298, she) that means \u201cto break, break apart, to bend, to flex\u201d. <\/p>\n In slang you can use \u201cshe\u201d for another meaning, such as: \u6211\u7684\u8003\u8bd5\u6298\u4e86 (wo de kaoshi she le), which means: \u201cmy test went badly\u201d.<\/p>\n In this article I’ll seek to list the most common slang expressions (in alphabetical order). <\/p>\n Here they are: <\/p>\n \u554a\u6728\u6797 (A mu lin), \u201cstupid person\u201d (literally a piece of wood)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u4ed6\u771f\u662f\u4e2a\u554a\u6728\u6797 (Ta zhen shi ge a mu lin): \u201che is truly stupid\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u516b\u4e5d\u4e0d\u79bb\u5341 (Ba jiu bu li shi) \u201cmostly correct\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u4ed6\u7684\u4f30\u8ba1\u90fd\u516b\u4e5d\u4e0d\u79bb\u5341 (Ta de gu ji dou ba jiu bu li shi) \u201ctheir predictions are mostly corrrect\u201d.<\/p>\n \u767d\u642d (bai da) \u201cto be useless; futile; to do something in vain\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u627e\u5979\u4e5f\u767d\u642d\uff0c\u5979\u4e0d\u7231\u4f60\u4e86 (zhaodao ta ye bai da, ta bu ai ni le) \u201ceven if you find her, it’s useless.
