chinese is a language that needs a lot of patience to learn….reason being that there are over thousands different words…. i myself being a chinese and having learn the language for around 16 years, still do not have the confidence to say that i am proficient in that language because there are too many words to learn

Let me rephrase, …
Let me rephrase, they are absolutely necessary for people learning it as a second language. Learning it at two years old from actual chinese speakers is much more effective than formal classes or self-instruction in middle school and up. These “hundreds and even thousands if people years ago” had the advantage of immersion and early instruction from fluent speakers, something most non-chinese lack, and thus require a simple, constant system that expresses every possible sound, which is Pinyin.

The statement ” …
The statement “absolutely necessary to pronounce” is not true. I learned Chinese since maybe 2 years old but never learned Pinyin until 2009. Hundreds and even thousands of years ago people learned Chinese without any of this Romanized PINYIN. However, certainly it is helpful and useful to know about it.

Yes, I already know …
Yes, I already know everything you posted. Also, I have tried to create a different system with only about 1500 words for now. Only a small system.
I know dim sum is Cantonese. Like I said, it is not necessarily a desert.

The “alphabetized” …
The “alphabetized” subtitles are called Pinyin, and, though they may be ugly, they are absolutely necessary in order to know how to pronounce chinese. The markings are the tone marks. The reason that letters like “q” and “x” are utilized is to differentiate there sounds that they make when coordinated with different vowels. You can try making a new one, but it’s very difficult and Pinyin is very easy to read once you learn how.
Also, dim sum is cantonese, not mandarin

each phrase has at least three different meanings, the tones differentiate them. It sounds hard to understand believe me I know, I am twelve and have been taking chinese for six years. I used to think it was gibberish but it is awesome to be able to understand chinese.
June 11th, 2010 at 12:00 pm

I don’t understand how this translates into words. This and vietnamese. I don’t thnk the words really mean anything . I think they go by tones like whales do.

Lol, verdad, pero la cosa mas dificil es los “tones.” Otro que eso (y el escrito), el “sentence structure” es muy facil.

You are right. …
You are right. It’s not so easy. I wrote “Nothing like la, le, il, i, l’, gli, lo that Italian has” but I was WRONG!
Chinese has different “measure words” that must be matched to the noun. Measure words like ghe, bhu, zhi, fhën. Using my custom dictionary which now has over 1000 entries:
i ghe weiz=a seat
i bhu xe=a car
i zhi niaov=a bird
i fhën baozhi=a newspaper
(To be consistent, I put H as the 2nd char of each measure word. V is always silent, hence, niaov is pronounced niao.)

Chinese is an easy …
Chinese is an easy language in many ways. Reasons:
- No tenses. Write, writes, written, wrote, writing become all the same. Easier than English here!
- No articles. Nothing like la, le, il, i, l’, gli, lo that Italian has.
- No gender with nouns. Easier than French.
- Singular and plural have the same word. Car and cars become the same word in Chinese. Datum and data become the same word.
The difficulty is too many symbols.

The “alphabetized” …
The “alphabetized” subtitles are so ugly. Someone needs to invent a new alphabetized system. Maybe I can try.
Dian xin is not just desert. It is dim sum, too; I believe.
