- Learn Chinese with One Word A Day
~7 min a day with me to understand how Chinese make meaning with their language. Make foreign familiar. #chinesetutorial, #mandarin
Interesting background. A bit of a twilight episode too.
Here in Michigan deer are more like rats. They’re everywhere easy to see and they eat everything. You won’t like them so much if they eat your flowers and garden,. They will even eat bird seeds that people feed the birds with, lol. A sad note you see a lot of deer as roadkill. Aside from that they do look majestic. Thank you as always pilot Sophie!
Thanks for sharing your deer experience! Guess it's like coyote in the west cost. Except coyotes don't even look that majestic.
Coyotes are fascinating creatures. Perhaps looney tunes did them a disservice? Wherever human habitations are in the lower 48 you will find coyotes. They are here too, but not egregious as in the Southwest. When I lived in Arizona I could hear them at night sometimes and it wasn’t unusual to see them walking in the city streets during the early hours. Of course they, like the wolves are troublesome to ranchers as they are opportunistic animals. I suppose it’s more inconvenience and human bias than anything as they are very intelligent animals.
There’s many Native American legends that feature the coyote that may be of interest to you. It is interesting how humans anthropomorphize.
Best wishes and thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us all!
I think id would be very useful if you would always give the measure word that goes along with the substantive (here e.g. 鹿)
Rule setting is not easy for language. I will try searching for the underpinning logic of word associations.
