im sorry to say so but im not too sureif playing wchinese ppl is the best idea when u cant speak it urself..?

naive shadow
#

This is by rule an English language server and by convention comprised mostly of NA and EU so I think you won't find much help here

#

I'm not sure what that has to do with white people

sage storm
#

idk sounded like you're saying na and eu people dont speak chinese

naive shadow
#

Again

#

What's that got to do with white people

sage storm
#

white people would probably not speak chinese unless they went out of their way to learn it

naive shadow
#

That's the weirdest way to say what you meant there but that's ok

sage storm
#

i had to make it simple

#

because somehow you didnt get the message in the first place

naive shadow
#

No I understood exactly what you meant

#

I just assumed you meant something else because that was such a weird way to say it

sage storm
#

im sure you did

naive shadow
#

In any case just speaking Chinese isn't enough (otherwise homie could probably Google translate themselves out of the problem), but in order to get the slang you need to be part of the Chinese speaking LoL community, and play LoL in Chinese with some semblance of regularity

naive shadow
# sage storm im sure you did

Surely I'm not the first person to tell you that, if you say something and someone else misunderstood, it's not necessarily their fault for misunderstanding, nor your fault for miscommunication

sage storm
#

ok

naive shadow
#

I'm Asian myself personally

#

And I only speak English

sage storm
#

"went out of their way to learn it"

#

chinese is hard to learn im sure you dont know how to read it yourself

#

my uncle is chinese im 100% viet idk how this relates to the conversation

naive shadow
#

You're the one who brought race into it lmfao

sage storm
#

i could be white and saying chinese is the hardest language to learn is simply just a factual statement

naive shadow
#

It's not a factual statement, and not just because "hardest" is always subjective

sage storm
#

it is objectively the hardest language

naive shadow
#

Because it's got all the characters?

sage storm
#

damn forget reading mandarin you can barely read english

naive shadow
#

Again, if there's a miscommunication it's not immediately the Listener's fault

sage storm
#

"intj" idk why i bothered

#

putting personality mbti shit into your about me is just so no personality man we're getting offtopic im gonna migrate

naive shadow
#

Tf does mbti have to do with it

#

I think you would do well to explain your thoughts a bit more and people would not react so poorly lmao

tardy dove
#

#

What even is this conversation.

People egoing about shit and people playing with the Chinese?

#

I’m finna be real here, why play with the Chinese if you don’t know basic Chinese or slang?

tender path

#

But mandiram or Cantonese

#

Also, the assumption that a fair number of people in NA speak Chinese is only true outside of League; 99% of Chinese speaking League players are second generation immigrants, meaning their Chinese is both flawed and not to the quality or even vernacular of Chinese.

So assuming you are typing in chat, all Chinese is the same.

#

I’m here to tell you that there’s no point in looking for the Chinese slang or vernacular to play with other Chinese because it simply it does not exist in non-Chinese methods.

#

You’re not going to find without using Pingying at the very least.

#

And even then, Pingying is hard to learn itself.

#

No one out here Is typing Chinese mid game in Discord

jade pewter
#

It’s usually really basic things, Purple Hermit/crab is Herald.

#

Frog(gy) is tromp, Fox is wolves.

tender path
#

Fox is wolves and not wolves as wolves

jade pewter
#

It’s really basic stuff, like you could probably hear half of it and pick up on it.

#

That's not something I'd know inherently as a Chinese player hence my asking

void sluice
#

This might help

tender path
#

That does help but I've already read it and it's missing terms and call outs but ty. I need to re-write this thread

frozen smelt
void sluice
#

Why did forgot someone wrote on Reddit

tender path
#

Also if anyone is here reading this after 6:56 PM, the thread de-volved into something that I didn't want. This wasn't meant to be a discussion or a forum for opinions regarding Chinese language on an NA server.

#

Please be kind and respectful to your fellow gamers regardless of what language they speak (or want to speak) and what region they are from or are currently in. Thanks
