語语
読读

Hmm, sorta similar.

 

[Futamaru]

Well...
Celebrate.

...as is...
Eat... a feast for dinner.

We didn't really bother with...

most of the stuff... like dumplings at midnight and what not kind of got forgotten.

(not sure what you guys have, but it's anew years dinner on new years eve, then jiaozi at midnight, then jiaozi for dinner on the 1st, and then stufff)

Well... Depending on ancestral roots and local customs, the celebration is different. But one thing is, I never heard people eat jiaozi on Chinese new year here.

 

[Futamaru]

...有点可怜.

I feel a bit sorry for her.

中国語を読めないよ～

I can't read Chinese.

我读不了日语...

I can't read Japanese.

語语
読读

Hmm, sorta similar.

Yeah. For the "go" word, kanji is basically traditional Chinese.
For the "yomu" word, Japanese simplified the traditional Chinese word on their own, so it's neither simplified or traditional Chinese.

中国語を読めないよ～

By the way, it should be 中国語が読めないよ～...

Hmm, sorta similar.

It's more of a matter of simplified and traditional there. And simplified in another way.

My family's actually from that region as well-Changchun to be precise.

• Pack necessary stuff.
• Buy a ham and necessary ingredients to make cupcakes so I don't starve.

My dad came to the States as a PhD student in the 80's? owo

 

[Futamaru]

All Chinese here are from southern Chinese ancestry like Fujian, Guangdong (or Canton) and some from Hainan.
