GreytoWhite Posted February 9, 2014 Thankfully they are not as vocal. It drove me away from the forum when every other post was about that cartoon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted February 9, 2014 Okay. No ponies, only horses and horse stance. Yes, there are three threads about horses right now. Soon everyone will have seen the horse and mentioned whatever they want to mention about it and that will be the end of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harmonious Emptiness Posted February 9, 2014 You can also add horse(馬, ma) to the end of just about any sentence to turn it into a question. ni hao: hello ni hao ma: how are you? na shi hao: that is good na shi hao ma: is that good? Not sure what the grammatical rule is with it, but it's very common. Of course, of course, the horse character is just borrowed to signify the sound and doesn't make any actual horse references.

The "ma" that you are talking about should be this character: 嗎(ma3). It has a mouth radical at the left side. Actually, "ni hao" is equal to "na hao ma?" for short. The "ma" can be omitted in the ordinary language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I've seen it used in Classical texts without the mouth character. Thanks for the correction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
