How do you say, “I can’t write Chinese”? Is it “Wo buhai xie zhongwen” or is it something more like "I can’t write Chinese characters? Is “Chinese characters” “zi”? Do I have to say, “Wo bu tai huai…” or something?
Also, what is 文? Or what is 中文? I’m pretty sure 中 is “zhong”.
101 signs you’ve been in Taiwan far too long mark xxxxxx . . . . .
When you don’t know your zhi from your zi, or shi from your si. I’m always getting caned by my mainland colleagues for that glaring sloppiness. To think, I once had marbles in my mouth when I spoke Mandarin.
