Chinese Word of the Day


- Wu3 - Five

Today Java came out. All the insanity of Sun’s version number scheme is captured in that one URL: is it Java 5? Or is it Java 2? Or is it Java 1.5.0? It’s all three!

My dictionary also has this character: - Xi3 - Increase Five Fold. I immediately searched for simliar characters meaning 4X and 3X, but didn’t find any. Strange?


One Feedback zu "五"

Toto

Obviously, the Chinese are smart enough to give special recognition to the 5 timers club.

One Two Three Four Five! You’re Great! You’re Great!
