@kloiten I bet you're tons of fun at live museum demonstrations...

Hmmmmm....

Folk etymology applied to Chinese characters?

Fun fun.

What this dude doesn't seem to realize is that the right part of the character to which he is assigning a meaning to has really no meaning, other than to be associated with classical pronunciations of other Chinese characters, or, that is, to rhyme them. The leftmost side is the one carrying all the meaning.

hahaa, he forgot a stroke while he was writing "to meet"

After taking two years of Chinese in high school, it makes me surprisingly happy to see things I learned then being shown again by someone who does it (as a living?).

可愛いねーーーー
