10/09.

We're taking today easy uwu~ My plan is to do some self-study of Korean for most of the day ( I'm working through TTMIK's my first 500 Korean words ) & revising my mandarin vocab so that it sticks. Besides that I'm hanging out in a friends livestream & hoping to read a whole HEAP today.

CURRENTLY READING: Babel - R.F Kuang & An exciting and vivid inner life - Paul Dalla Rosa

Here’s a fun phrase I learned:

我救了你的狗命

wǒ jiùle nǐ de gǒu mìng

Literally: “I saved your dog life.”

This is something you can say to a friend if you help them out and you want to make fun of them a little. “Dog life” is playfully derogatory in this context. “I saved your useless life” Implies that the person you saved should be very grateful to you.

I first saw it used in a cdrama called Find Yourself when one character gives another character an item that helps them get out of a lie. I used it when I found my roommate’s keys the day we moved out, saving her from a fine, lol.

↳ 09.09.22. / Friday

Oh I am definitely gonna have to re-learn how to take nice desk/study pictures. Anyways, today I’m reviewing my early TESOL program notes to refresh myself on some grammar and sneaking in a quick DuoLingo session. I don’t use Duo as my primary study material for any language, but I find it particularly helpful for Mandarin because it forces me to read/review characters every day. I simply don’t have time every day to hit my textbooks the way I want to, but I can always do a Duo lesson or two. Also, I am competitive and want to get to a year-long Duo streak lol.

75 essential single-character verbs (单字动词)

When I started consuming more native Chinese content, I quickly discovered an area in which my knowledge was lacking: single-character verbs. In my experience, it’s very easy to focus on learning words consisting of two or more characters and overlook single-character words.

Driven by curiosity, I went through my Anki deck (and also wracked my brain) to generate a list of characters/words that I have learned over the past couple years (roughly). Then I selected 75 verbs that are fairly common and important to know. They skew towards intermediate and advanced vocabulary.

Definitions are from MDBG. For characters with additional meanings that I am not yet familiar with, I have bolded the meanings I want to share.

Super long character practice: biáng and huáng

The first is often considered the character with the most strokes and refers to a type of noodle (biangbiang mian).

The second has more strokes but isn’t really a word. It’s considered an artistic representation of heaven, in character form.

I feel like biáng was actually possible to get somewhat decent, but huáng was just incredibly difficult to get the spacing right 😂
