Re: Gung Hay Fuk Choy!

the title of the thread sounded like it was copied and pasted from a porno site, i just had to check it out. haha. little did i know it was just good old harmless chinese talk.

i dont know of anything russian that can sound that dirty, but if i think of it, i'll definitely start a thread with it here.

...good times, good times.
Leon.

Happy Chinese New Year, all!
Year of the Rooster (which began on Feb 9) simply denotes the Chinese Zodiac Year.

Re: Kong Hay Fatt Choy / Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!!!!

It can have a few variants depending on the dialect used. But Gong Xi Fa Cai will be the most accurate pronounce in Mandarin.

So Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Re: Gung Hay Fuk Choy!

The Chinese Lunar Calendar has 12 yearly zodiac signs, each denoted by a different animal. The year before was the year of the monkey and there are lots of interesting stories related to each signs. These signs are repeated in 12 years cycle.

Gong Xi Fa Chai to all!
