Happy Chinese Language Day!!

Wishing everyone a happy Chinese language day, in which Chinese, one of the 6 official languages of the world, is promoted and celebrated!! This day also celebrates Cangjie, who invented the Chinese characters about 5000 years ago!

Do you know any Chinese? If you do, teach us a phrase or two!! We would love to learn!!

Translation for the song:

We've passed on the torch, the next time you see me speak Chinese

Chinese

The entire world is learning Chinese

The words of Confucius are getting more international

The whole world is speaking Chinese

The language we speak, is making the world pay attention

We've passed on the torch, the next time you see me speak Chinese 

The entire world is learning Chinese

The words of Confucius are getting more international

The whole world is speaking Chinese

The language we speak, is making the world pay attention

The song is a Remix of 中國話 (Chinese Language) made by Yami's team in Produce 101. The original song is 中國話 (Chinese Language) by S.H.E

Tyren Perry teamed up with sisters Jania and Jaimee Foxworth to form the trio S.H.E.

Tyren and Jania had previously sang together as backing vocalists on Quincy Jones' Back On The Block album in 1989, the same year Tyren released her only solo album. At ten, Jaimee was cast in the sitcom Family Matters for four seasons, but then let go. She managed to get onto another sitcom, Getting By, but that too was short-lived. Jaimee, Jania and Tyren then decided to band together as a singing group.

The three girls were noticed by Shaquille O'Neal, who featured them on his second album, You Can't Stop The Reign, in 1996. He signed them to his vanity label that same year, and they released "My Secret Is."

Their career as a trio didn't exactly pan out though, and Jaimee ended up battling substance abuse, and starring in adult videos. Meanwhile, Tyren and Jania continued to pursue music.

"Bare" measure words (classifiers without demonstratives and numerals)

In my earlier days of learning Chinese, I remember complaining that measure words were a huge headache. Nowadays, I suppose I'm used to them. Yes, I sometimes slip up and use the wrong one, but I really don't mind them anymore.

One remaining challenge is what I've dubbed "bare" measure words. I'm referring to when a measure word with is used without a demonstrative (like 这 or 那) and without a numeral (一 yī). I don't think I'm explaining it well, so let's get to the examples.

The examples are lyrics from songs I like because why not! Definitions are from MDBG.

（1）蔡健雅 【别找我麻烦】

你可知道我不常带把伞 带把伞啊

带（一）把伞 把 bǎ - classifier for things with handles 伞 sǎn - umbrella / parasol

Further explanation: Before I read the lyrics for this song, I interpreted 把伞 as some unknown word "basan." I didn't realize that "san" was 伞 (umbrella). At the time I wasn't very familiar with 把 as a measure word, but had the lyrics been 一把伞 or 这把伞, I might have been able to figure out that "ba" was a measure word.

Some of the examples below weren't difficult for me to understand, but I've included them to show a variety of measure words.

（2）林宥嘉 【诱】

像颗糖 好诱惑 甜到梦里有粉红 小花朵 一朵一朵慢动作飘落 像杯酒 太诱惑 琥珀色的安乐窝 摇晃我 好想醉倒在你怀中

（3）薛之谦 【骆驼】

（4）S.H.E 【你曾是少年】

（5）李宇春 【下个，路口，见】

Further reading: The Wikipedia page on Chinese classifiers has a brief mention of this way of using measure words. It cites Chinese: A Linguistic Introduction by Chaofen Sun from Cambridge University Press. I looked at the referenced page on Google Books. This type of usage was very briefly mentioned. I'll have to research it further later.
