Chinese Word of the Day


- Cai2 - Gift, Talent, Only If

天才 - Tian1 Cai2 - Sky Talent — Genius

天才 is what one of Shrarena’s Playstation games called me today eachtime I beat a level. Apparently it means genius in Japanese as well as Chinese. It’s also the same word for genius as in the movie title 天才功夫 - Tian1 Cai2 Gong1 Fu5 - Genius Kung Fu — Kung Fu Genius.


One Feedback zu "才"

joe

yes, it is genius in Japanese and is pronounced as \”tensai\”

also the japanese use that character for counting age but only kind of. there is an actual age counter they use but since this one has the same reading and is really easy to write many people use this one instead.
