Hello. Thank you for these Chinese sayings. For the saying : " kill two birds with one stone". I also heard the expressions 一石二鸟 (Yīshí'èrniǎo ). It's it correct? Thanks.
I really enjoy learning Chengyu series so far i have learnt many and luckily i know all 4 except 1 (haha) hope i can learn more from here thanks a bunch for sharing xie xie nide fenxiang xin ku le 🙏🌹
@@lilyinthevalley8046 As for 狗 眼看人低 ^ Literally, judging human from a dog's eyes. Because dogs are usually much shorter than human, their eyes default view is at a much lower level than human eyes. 狗眼看人低 means judging people like what a dog would do, i.e., from a much lower level. In other words you act like a snob but in reality you are nothing.
Will look more into this. Hope to make more videos about traditional Chinese culture including Buddhist thought which had a great influence on Chinese culture
Thank you for the lessons, they are great! In the opportunity, I wish that Jesus, the Name above all names (Phillipians 2), bless you, and may you feed from His Word and Salvation!
English spelling to match English words is bad enough as is but why does the English spelling of Chinese not match? It makes it so much harder to master the pronunciation of words. I would love it if people ( maybe you guys) would just throw those spellings out and spell the words to how they are actually pronounced. It's not like there is English spelling of CHinese everywhere in China for that to cause any issues.
It's not possible to spell x, zh, c, z, yu, lü, and a lot more in "English". Not to mention to tones. If it were possible it would've been done already. Pinyin is as close as it gets
Was just planning on making a channel about Chinese language and traditional Chinese culture. Wasn't planning on doing an episode about Falun Gong, but since traditional Chinese culture is filled with many types of spiritual practices, especially meditation practices, I can do an episode of you like. Maybe clear up some misconceptions.
以貌取人 is the expression basically meaning to judge a book by its cover. So you would want to add something like 不要 or 別 in front of it for it to mean don't judge a book by it's cover: 別以貌取人
事出必有因，無風不起浪 "Everything has a reason, without the wind there would be no waves" That's a good one. An old Buddhist expression. We will have more videos out soon!!
@@learnchinesenow Thank you! YAY!!! Can’t wait! I am actually Chinese, but I was adopted as a baby, and have lived in America ever since. I have applied to go to college for a Bachelor of Arts Asian Studies for the Summer term of 2023. I have learned so much from you and your channel! Thank you so much for everything!!!
I’m amazed by your Chinese speaking skills!!!
Yay welcome back again!

Hello. Thank you for these Chinese sayings. For the saying : " kill two birds with one stone". I also heard the expressions 一石二鸟 (Yīshí'èrniǎo ). It's it correct? Thanks.
Yes, that is also correct. Means the same thing.
@@learnchinesenow Thks🙂👍!
没错，你说得对。一石二鸟，这与一箭双雕是一个意思。这个词的意思是，用一个措施同时解决了两个或更多的问题。

@@betrayedsevastopol Your literal translation is no where near what it should be in English. In fact, way off!!
Can't imagine that I, as an ethnic Chinese, am learning Chinese from a couple of white guys! What a world we live in! LoL!!

Be frank, I don't think 小菜一碟 qualify as a "成語".

I learned 入境隨俗 in Taiwan. Is 入鄉隨俗 is more common in China?
Yes. I have rarely heard 入境随俗. Same meaning 👍
Didn't realize you guys are Falungong😢 too bad

Thank you! I just loved those chengyu, I'll make sure to use some of them when the opportunity shows up
Great! More to come

Also, LOVE your videos!!! 🤗

你好！我也是中国人。
不管什麼語言，學(到?)成語都很重要，因為人人會自然地說。還有意思大部分可能好笑。謝謝分享！
是的！👍
