The "D " character of English is one of Chinese word.
It means mouth. Pronouncation is like "kou".

So, you learned one word.

Akis, how can i tell in chinese "good afternoon"???

To greet somebody, chinese don't say the words about "The Day" like "good morning" or "good afternoon."

When we/you meet strangers, Chinese/you can say "hi".

Other situation:
If we meet an old firend, we will say "hi." Most people will say "Ni Hao Ma"(means how are you) or "Zui Jin Hao Ma"(means how are you recently). Cause we want to know his/her condition or situation.

A speaker will say "Da Jia Hao"(means everybody are fine) to listeners.

And I will say "Chi Bao Mei"(means Are you finish your meal? or did you eat anything?) to my parents, very closed friends and good neighbors.

When you meet a chinese in any time, just say "hi" or "Ni Hao"(means you are fine.) as greeting.

And how in chinese there will be "forum"?

Chinese say "Lun Tan" for forum.(means discuss place)
So we will call the forum of Bizhat.com like "B H Lun Tan" or "BizHat Lun Tan"

update:
By the way, many Chineses, especial for young, have very language assimilation with English. They will call "BizHat forum" directly.

Yes, I think some case we can use English term for these. Translate into local language may lost the correctness of meaning.

That is really nice of all of you to offer to teach chinese language and history! I would be interested as well to learn some of the daily life. Im really big into FFXI and its good to understand schedules and ppl's lives.
