Chinese Word of the Day


- Ying4 - Hard, Inflexible

I thought I was going to be all cool and be the first to report on the mysterious new “Pocky G” but it turns out I’m the last to arrive at this party. Oh well. For those even later than me, it’s just regular Pocky with an extra hard and crunchy stick.

By the way, ALL NEW POCKY! DEBUT!! (more)

Also by the way, while I’m here, 硬體 - Ying4 Ti3 - Hard System — Hardware, 軟體 - Ruan3 Ti3 - Soft System — Software. But only in Taiwan! In China, it’s 硬件 - Ying4 Jian4 - Hard Piece — Hardware and 軟件 - Ruan3 Jian4 - Soft Piece — Software.

I think 電子 dian4 zi4 means hardware too but has broader meaning, and not just limited to computers. That’s what Yvonne told me and it used to be her major.

From what I can see, 電子 means “electronics”.
