Q: How many of you have adopted the affirmation sound "en" chinese people use when talking?
I use it long time ago and have seen many friends use it. Do you use it?
You can't hear it of course, but reading your question, I just did it. *enh*
So yes.
Not here....but I do say.....iiiii-ya! (excuse that spelling)
Xpat.John:
Yep, I use that a lot too. Which gets me very strange looks in my office that has no Chinese people at all. But I just tell them it is the Chinese equivalent to the Yiddish Oi Vey and they just nod in the same way you do to your wife when she is talking nonsense and you just want her to stop talking. :)
when i heard this response first, i was confused.....
every time sb says it i just want to smack them in the back of the head . it seems lazy and ignorant, i use dui.
I am living with Cantonese (Guangdonghua) ........ trying to learn Mandarin (Putonghua) and you guys are throwing shit at me that I have no idea about.. throw in a little Leizhouhua and you got a really confused 傻老外
sadly yes Maybe Canadians have Chinese heritage Ehh
Homer Simpson always says ''dough'', isn't that Chinese? Yes the Simpsons belong to China.
