yk, while chinese is a nightmare to learn (for me at least) they're also such an interesting language... "来, 小姐!" hits a lot different than "miss, your order's ready!" but i can't really explain why hahahah

#rin rambles #why did they use the 姐 hanzi? is there a 小妹 too? perhaps used for younger looking females?? it's just. so interesting to me hsldjfsd #it's always so interesting to see but also kinda weird bc sometimes i see a hanzi and knows what it says/means in jp but then i have 0 idea #-if it means the same or how it reads/sounds in cn lol #i think. maybe. if i was born in an environment that actually supports leaning chinese i might have taken to it a little more.#but at this point i just can't with memorization as an adult #and as a younger person having to learn it in school but unable to use it anywhere just makes it feel like i have to learn it just for the-#-sake of grades so i hated it at that time. there were lots of other subjects that was more 'important' so it felt even more meaningless-#-that time bc even if i somehow managed to learn it. it's not like i'll be able to use it anywhere ;;;;#still..... it is tempting.... to just learn for the sake of learning. and it is usable for my current situation.... maybe. mayhaps.
