Today I Learned Something In The Chinese Language That I Think Is Pretty Cool.

Today I learned something in the Chinese language that I think is pretty cool.

凹 means concave,

凸 means convex,

And then 凹凸 means bump/irregular as in an uneven/rough road. What I find cool about this is that each character matches its meaning in shape and that the translation to them is so literal.

Maybe it's just me who thinks this, but yeah, I think it's really fascinating for some reason that there are so many words similar by nature to these in the Chinese language!

螺髻九十九里 - ( Luó jì jiǔshíjiǔlǐ )

四川省凉山彝族自治州普格县境内景点 - ( Sìchuān shěng liángshān yízú zìzhìzhōu pǔ gé xiàn jìngnèi jǐngdiǎn )

螺髻九十九里 luo-ji-jiu-shi-jiu-li, hot spring waterfall, liangshan, sichuan province.

I've just been diagnosed with chronic fatigue and for the past weeks I've just been so tired that doing some of the most simple things feel exhausting. I'm letting you know this out of frustration that I haven't been able to keep up with my chinese studies as much as I'd like to because of this fatigue. I think doing something more simple like watching some cdramas would be a better alternative to hard core study. I've never watched any asian dramas before but heard they can be helpful for language learning so I'm open for some recommendations!

Pls DM me or just lmk in the comments if you have any drama recs.

Love you all!<3<3
