The classical Chinese language did abound with honorifics and polite language. Indeed, I believe the polite language seen in Japanese and Korean is directly related to the extensive and mutual historical influence between those and Chinese culture.
However, in recent times, the use of such language in the PRC has been greatly dimished since the end of the imperial era in an intentional revolution/eradication of language.
I am curious how @Jendker has experienced his attempt in learning a go-relevant language. Was it difficult, did it help to improve your go, etc?
Can/will you tell us about this?
Just because it’s something I didn’t think of before, in terms or purchasing digital versions of non-English go books outside of the Nihon Ki-in app, it might be worth mentioning for people who can read or who are learning Japanese that there are these things available.
This looks like a book by Ichiriki Ryo on the direct 3-3 invasions
Lately I’ve been vaguely thinking of getting into an Oriental language, looking at a few little videos and so on.
Like many (ex-) anime / manga consumers, I’ve had the usual phase(s) of grinding kanji on Anki, downloading manga raws and all that, but it never came to anything. I’m not sure I could motivate myself to go in hard again.
For now I’ll just continue with my kabuki, K-drama, Chinese vlogs and so on…
I posted a comment on the video to ask her if I could make flashcards out of the vocabulary in the video. This was actually my first youtube comment ever. She replied yes and asked me to share the link when I did.
I tried posting a new youtube comment with the link, but it got automatically deleted. I guess it got marked as spam. And now I can no longer post youtube comments, they all disappear instantly.
If someone knows how to contact her with the link, please do!
