do chinks love taking english-sounding names as much as koreans do?

not even legally binding

just "call me robert even though my name is jiyong"

Legally thier name is Robert though.

Yes they do

apparently, yes

especially in HK

And in school they call each other by their English names sometimes

Which is cringey

I was born in UK so I have an English/Christian first name and chinky last name

Cuz if I called one if my friends back in highschool by their name in Chinese class I'd get called a faggot and probably kicked to death

the chinks at my uni are legit like "hi, my name is rainy" or "please call me sunny"

<:chink:323022148870602752>

Eh, I can get why. Easier and less confusion

I'd rather just call them zhuangquanghuangqi

maybe

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

better yet, an actual english name

Sunny is outdated but technically still a name in the states

More a nickname actually.

there was a chink at my old school called "seaside" I shit you not

with everyone trying to reinvent the wheel with stupid shit names to inflict on thier kids I can see why they would be confused.

girl of course

Kek, was she a hippy or something?

nah, just your usual fresh off the boat chink teen

I remember when people were proper taking the piss out of him for saying this

What's he supposed to say, shit isn't looking good and things are moving behind the scenes to try and figure thier footing? BBC wouldn't do that to a Labour politician.

This was right after results were declared and they lost their majority

Yeah, I know. I'd say the alliance with DUP was surprisingly fortuitous for the Torys from my angle. Now they are further right and they have a boogeyman to scare centrists and left leaning members with. Compare the haranguing of him to the hand holding they did following the Brexit vote.

There's a lot of infighting in the tory party these days and the DUP have on occasion voted against them, so how long this lasts is anyone's guess

Exciting though.

A few of my classmates from high school got their names legally changed to something english

Like someone got himself named Leon

I forgot the others, but if.they didnt do that calling them by their chinese names without using the proper intonation just sounds wrong

Tfw my chinese name means clean smoke

I dont even know who came up with it, sure as hell wasnt me

yan?

hong kong likes it more than mainland, but in a proper way. HK actually have GOOD english names

mainland is shit like angelababy, shrek, fucking spiderman, etc

gucci, porsche

its either let the kid pick it when they are 3 years old, so its fucking spiderman or happy, or let the parents pick it who dont speak english so its designer brands or famous people (jobs, musk, mark)

it's about 50%. When my students come in we usually suggest giving them an english name, mostly so they feel more connected to the language when they speak it, and most parents are understanding, and 50% are like "no! his name is chenchen!"

or when their kid is named spiderman and i suggest another name they are like "No! He chose spiderman! so thats his name!"

i hate how the parents think they know better than me. They tell me, in chinese, "I think my son's english grammar is poor", well how the fuck would you know? you dont speak english

they just make up shit for their kids to be bad at so they can complain

your son has 100 is everything, where could you possibly be getting this idea from

Do people seriously name themselves Spider-Man?

they are like 3 years old, of course

shrek, spiderman, altaman, ironman etc

but chink kids have zero experience with outside world - they literally just wake up, study/school, go to bed everyday

so they get to age 13 and still dont realize their name is retarded

have no common sense, real world abilities, practical knowledge

they are fucking useless outside of math

Hmm, might be some cash in making a summer camp that teaches life skills there when this gen realizes they've been conned

lmao

TFW don't know spiderman

also HK people have stupidly white names

like David

would you prefer it be muhammed? or abdul?

Traditional Swedish names.

fuck off

Application for a marriage visa takes 3-5 months of waiting time

wew

at this point it might be easier for me to just move to Taiwan

You getting hitched, fella?

Grats?

@kontroll you're a fucking fag

make fun of sweden again i dare you

@Deleted User Cuckistan makes fun of itself. I don't need to help out.

God damn awoo you're insecure

how?

why are Chinese so skinny?

look at this

there are plenty of fat chinese people

They eat that kind of stuff not that often. Their diet is 90% rice and hot water day to day

But damn is it delicious

Some of them eat dogs

Even dogs who are pets gets kidnapped

@kaetaa rice and hot water?

yes we talked about it some weeks ago, hot water is a meme

Basic China knowledge.

Hot water = very healthy.

Cold water = deadly.

I like how my girlfriend used to drink hot tap water, telling me how healthy hot water is. Until I took her to the roof to see the central boiler, which looks disgusting. So I told her: "Look, hot water comes from here. That's what you're drinking. Maybe it's in there for days, maybe weeks. Maybe it's clean, maybe there's a dead rat inside."

now she takes the cold tap water and heats that

are you going to show her cold water pipes?

Cold water is right from the mains

yeah

have you seen the rust on those

and in those

cold water is generally considered safe to drink in Switzerland and controlled frequently

the pipes are really well maintained

Don't use hot water for anything but washing, hot water even from a home boiler tastes weird

obv

oh yeah

don't they drink hot water in china?

since I moved out for uni, hot water gets brought up in every call with chink mum
