Sorry, miscounted. Ralf is at lucky 7 right now.
He is indeed a beast
Would you mind telling us what characters are in your name? Inquiring minds want to know if you're sheepsheep, goatgoat, samesame, or something else entirely.
Yes, that he definitely is. I have never seen or never would have imagined someone ruling or taking position on the leaderboard purely with dub requests. I have seen it all!
I am just guessing yang is from yin and yang. So, yang should mean something like masculine or something. Or, something you suggested as Gemini says that as well that yang is a common surname. Sheep, goat, willow, etc..interesting.
In that case yangwang, the other user's name should be similar, since Google tells me that wang means ruler or king. Cool!
Realised this year, the thread broke the records yet again for the unique users, which presently stands at 1809. This is awesome.
If he's doubling the yang, it's most likely part of his given name rather than surname, and probably most likely to be 羊 (sheep/goat) or 阳 (sunlight) for a girl. But there are many words with that pronunciation, so it could be anything.
In yinyang, it's the same character as sunlight. Yin means shadow, yang means light, but like you say it's usually used metaphorically for all sorts of contrasting pairs - evil/good, black/white, male/female, etc.
Oh yah, is all of this information based on research just now or did you already know this much about Chinese culture already?

I'm on phone now for a few minutes
What are y'all doing rn?
Been on phone all day long. Too tired for PC. Also have beackache.
Inam debating whether to watch Mission Impossible Final reckoning or not. Hbu?
Chinese is my strongest second language nowadays, I've been learning about 7 years.
(That just means the other languages are bad now!)
@PuDLeZ What would be a decent price for a mint condition Switch 2 in the US? No games included (cartridge or online) and no microSD?
Oh. That's cool. Did you learn it as part of your job or something? Or, was it out of interest purely. How many languages can you speak BTW?

I planned to move to China so I started learning. I never did move, but I usually travel (for fun) in Chinese speaking countries at least 2 months a year.
Speak? That's a tough one to answer. English is obviously my mother tongue, and about 80% of the time I can hold a casual conversation in Mandarin Chinese for 10 minutes, but the other 20% of the time, I can't even get past the second sentence without them looking at me like I'm speaking Klingon.
I studied French for years, but while I can read / listen OK, it takes me about half an hour of listening before I can speak it without using Chinese for every conjunction.
I did a couple of years of Spanish, and got an A, but I wouldn't say I can speak it now. I can get maybe 10% of information out of the news, but even after sitting in a group of language learners having a conversation, after an hour I'd still struggle to form a sentence even if I'd understand a lot of what they're saying. I studied 6 years of Latin though, again mostly forgotten, but it makes it a lot easier to wing comprehension in Romance languages.
There's a load of other languages that I studied for a short time but almost completely forgotten now apart from a handful of words.
COOL
Just got back from my lunch break. ehehehhe
That's pretty cool. You do know many languages. I haven't met a lot of Europeans except from Finland, Sweden or Denmark, who can speak multiple languages.
BTW, when you say "Chinese speaking countries," which other countries are those other than China where Chinese is prominently spoken.
I have heard about Thai people many of them Chinese descendants still speaking Chinese keeping their tradition and culture alivem.but I thought they were rare
Definitely cool. Will make the competition for the lottery on 12th much more einteresting
What was for lunch?
