にゃんこ (japanese) vs 小猫 (mandarin chinese)
info and propawganda under the cut!
にゃんこ (nyanko) /njaɴko/
Nya is the onomatopoeia meow and ko is kid, so literally it means meow kid, isn't that cute? On top of that, it's often used with suffix chan, making it even cuter.
小猫 (xiǎo māo) /ɕjau̯˩ mɑu̯˥/
it rhymes and means little meow. what is a kitten if not a little meow
Perfect way to describe a cat. It rhymes and it sounds really cute. Also cmon look at a cat. That IS a xiao mao mao
you cannot tell me they are not the perfect word for a kitty cat. they came up to us and introduced themselves, so we decided to call them by the name they call themselves, and in mandarin, we call them "little māo" because they are our little meow meows!! they are our babies!! also chinese is Ancient. our writing system goes back like 4000 years!! and we are still using it! i admit we probably weren't calling them 貓 for all these 4000 years but respect your elders! /lh
