Where is the difficulty of Chinese reflected? . . .

The difficulty in Chinese lies in the fact that one word has multiple sounds, one word has multiple meanings, and one meaning has multiple words, and the meanings of words and sentences are different in different contexts.

For example, during the banquet, someone leaves the table, and the foreigner asks: What happened to him?

Chinese people replied: It's convenient to go. The foreigner asked again

What is convenience? Chinese people answer: It's peeing.

Xi San, the Chinese said to the foreigner: When it is convenient one day, I will invite you to dinner. The foreigner was stunned.

The same is "convenient" here, but the meaning is too far away. That's why Chinese is so difficult.

Billions of people can't understand each other......Isn't that difficult?

Why is Chinese known as the most difficult language in the world to learn, yet the simplest language?

This is easy to understand, and the general reasons can be explained in the following ways.

1.Chinese is the only oldest still in use in the world, thousands of years of culture are condensed in words, the charm of the Chinese language does not need to be explained, you know, the more esoteric the text, of course, the more difficult to understand.

2.Chinese is the only ideogram still in use in the world, which means that a character expresses meaning, not pronunciation, and other characters in the world are phonetic. For example, the English computer expresses this pronunciation, and if the computer is another pronunciation, then it will not be written like this!

It is because Chinese characters are ideograms that we can read poems from thousands of years ago, because we need the meaning of the poem, not the pronunciation. But Americans may be able to read English poetry 200 years ago at the level of a professor! It is because Chinese characters are ideograms, and such a complex and completely different dialect in China has a common writing system - Chinese characters!

3.Chinese characters are indeed difficult to recognize and write, which Chinese admit, we must have learned a lot of mistakes in elementary school! Not to mention foreigners.

Chinese characters are square characters, and they are also different from the way the Latin alphabet is written, except for Koreans and Japanese, people from other countries write Chinese characters really ugly, and foreigners can never understand the order of the strokes of Chinese characters!

4.Chinese has four tones in one pronunciation, and there are very few languages with tones in the world! We have all learned English, and English can be read emotionally. But if the Chinese tone is wrong, the meaning is wrong, and foreigners are crazy about the tone!

5.Chinese is a monosyllabic language. That is, there is only one pronunciation of a word. Monosyllabic language can result in a pronunciation with many corresponding words and meanings. For example: yiyi, which can be understood as meaning, dissent, 100 million, shining, one.

1. Paraphrasing, etc., can foreigners not be confused with so many meanings?

There are many other difficult points in the Chinese language, so it's safe to say that Chinese is the hardest language in the world to learn!

Chinese is indeed recognized as the most difficult language to learn in the world!

Clause. First, the history of the Chinese nation is too long, because writing must have a deep relationship with the culture of this country, and the history of China cannot be mastered by us Chinese ourselves, let alone a foreigner!

Clause. Second, Chinese characters are difficult to write, as a Chinese have to admit that it is the only text in the world that does not use a combination of letters, so it is not easy to write!

Clause. 3. There are many ambiguities in Chinese, and even different tones express different meanings, and foreigners even think that the laws of our country cannot be called laws at all!

But there are very few Chinese words, basically you can master 3,000 commonly used words, unlike English, which now has more than a million words, which is really maddening! Anyway, I still think that Chinese is the most advanced language in the world! I hit it myself, and I support the internationalization of the Chinese language!

Support the globalization of the Chinese language!

There are many Chinese characters, which are difficult to write, and the pronunciation is difficult to standardize.

But I think it's really the best to learn.

The most difficult language in the world to learn is not Chinese, but Russian.

Chinese is difficult to learn, it depends on who learns Chinese, and for foreigners, it may be the most important reason why Chinese is difficult to learn

1.Pinyin in Chinese has four tones, which are not found in other languages and are more difficult to master.

2.Chinese characters are not made up of letters or characters, but by different strokes.

Individual strokes have no meaning, and the composition of the strokes is ever-changing, so the composition of Chinese characters is also difficult to remember.

3.A Chinese character often has many pronunciations, and different pronunciations have different meanings; The meaning of a word is different in different contexts, so it is more difficult to learn Chinese.

This involves Chinese grammar, the grammar of every language is difficult to master, Chinese grammar is no exception, so it is normal to say that Chinese is difficult to learn, and a Chinese may not be able to grasp the essence of Chinese well, let alone for foreigners.

Hope the above is helpful to you, thanks!

Chinese is widely regarded as one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, and in various Western writings, it is referred to as "Chinese-like language". Compared with other languages, the main difficulties in learning are as follows:

1. In terms of phonetics, the pronunciation of Chinese is in tune. Many foreigners can't pronounce it correctly.

2. In terms of vocabulary, Chinese words widely use the method of word formation with root compounding, which is very different from Indo-European language, which is mainly derived.

3. In terms of grammar, Chinese is an isolated language, and there is no morphological change on Luhuai in the strict sense, and word order and virtual words (especially "着", "了", "Guo") are important grammatical means. This makes it difficult for foreigners to understand various grammatical categories when confronted with Chinese sentences, resulting in a bias in the understanding of meaning.

4. In terms of writing, Chinese characters belong to the epithetical system of writing, which is very different from the phonetic characters.

As a result of all the above, there is a huge negative transfer of the mother tongue to the target language when foreigners learn Chinese, so "Jing**" who can speak fluent Beijing dialect like Dashan and Aihua is really a masterpiece of teaching Chinese as a foreign language.

1. The four syllables in ChineseFor non-native Chinese speakers, it is difficult to pronounce syllables, especially the second and third tones.

The second is the writing of Chinese. The writing of Chinese characters has its own unique characteristics, and there is a significant difference between the spelling of Chinese characters and the spelling of letters in other languages.

The third is that the word in Chinese characters has multiple meanings, and the same sentence may be understood differently in different contexts and different tones.

Fourth, because China is a high-context country. People not only use the appearance of language to convey meaning, but also use some non-verbal methods, such as gestures, body language, etc., so Chinese has a certain implicit and introverted characteristics.

Maybe it's because the word is too much.

And the meaning of the word is too uncertain, so it can only be experienced in the context.

There are also severe accents and idiomatic expressions.

Then there are the strokes, which are complex and complex, and the combinations are varied.

No matter how fluent a foreigner speaks Chinese, he may not be able to write well, and if you are interested, you can first look at the Wuhan dialect manual written by the doctor, and you will understand why he is difficult to learn.

Chinese culture is vast and profound, with a history of more than 5,000 years. I have many expressions on a single one.

Because there are many words in Chinese with the same sound, it is difficult to learn.

Chinese grammar doesn't change much, but it mainly uses "word order" to complete its meaning, and it embodies the subtle beauty of Chinese culture. And there are many grammatical changes that cannot be explained by a universally accepted grammatical definition. In addition, its language reflects the culture of Chinese people attaching importance to the family, and the different names of brothers and sisters of parents reflect the patriarchal culture.

In addition, most of the Chinese writing is morphophonetic characters, which are Yihe characters, not the phonetic characters commonly used in the world, so it is difficult to find it. But if you learn it, you will find it very interesting. Confucius said:

Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy. "Likes are the most important thing.

Compared with other languages, Chinese is more complex, and the meaning, roots, grammar, pronunciation, etc., are all worth studying. If you want to understand and learn the Chinese language in depth, you must start from the basics of modern Chinese and combine it with ancient Chinese, and understand the development of Chinese language and literature from ancient times to the present.

A foreigner studied Chinese for ten years and went to China to take the Chinese test, and the test questions are as follows:

Topic: Please explain the meaning of each of the "meanings" in the following paragraph.

When Dumb gave the leader a red envelope, the conversation between the two was quite interesting.

Leader: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Dumb: "It's not interesting, it means." ”

Leader: "You're not interesting enough. ”

Dumb: "Small meaning, small meaning." ”

Leader: "You're such an interesting person. ”

Dumb: "Actually, it doesn't mean anything else. ”

Leader: "Then I'm embarrassed. ”

Dumb: "I'm embarrassed. ”

Got it?

For example, English learns phonetic transcription. I can spell words. And the Chinese language learned pinyin, without note. Nor will I read it.

Because Chinese is the oldest language.

Because Chinese is the most complex, with the largest number of words and the most ways to write.

Classical Chinese, vernacular ......

Anything that is easy to learn is based on the perspective of the mother tongue, and if there is, it is obviously guilty of the problem of English centrism. For example, if I am a native Mandarin speaker, I would find it easy to learn Cantonese, but it will be difficult for a native English speaker (the BBC ranks 10 hardest languages to learn for English speakers), and similarly, it is much easier for native English speakers to learn German than we do, because both languages come from the Indo-European Germanic language family.

Therefore, it is difficult to compare languages mainly to compare the similarity between a language and your mother tongue, because your way of thinking is based on your mother tongue, and it is much more difficult to change this than to memorize a few words that are not long or learn words like pictures.

But from another point of view, there is a reason why Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Because the Sino-Tibetan language family is not widely distributed, the probability of a mother tongue being a similar language (easy to learn) is very low. The Indo-European language family includes most common languages, such as English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Persian, etc., and its distribution also occupies most of Europe, America, South Asia, and Oceania.

Therefore, the probability of native Indo-European speakers learning the same language is much greater than that of native speakers of the Sino-Tibetan language family.

So don't think that if you learn one of the "hardest languages in the world", it will be easy to learn any other language, but on the contrary, you will think that it is difficult to learn most other languages in the world, because the difficulty of an Indo-European speaker learning a Sino-Tibetan language is roughly the same as that of an Indo-European language person.

However, from this point of view, Chinese as the most difficult language to learn is still not convincing enough. Although the Sino-Tibetan language family is much narrower than the Indo-European language family, it can still be regarded as the second largest language family in the world. This language family also covers two language families, Chinese and Tibeto-Burman.

Nearly 400 languages are spoken across Asia, including China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal, Bangladesh and India. At the same time, it is also inextricably linked with controversies such as Japanese and Korean, and with controversial language families such as Altaic languages.

In addition, Austronesian languages also include the languages of Oceania, Southeast Asia and other islands, as well as the languages of Madagascar in Africa. The Kongo-Kordofan language family encompasses more than 900 African languages. It also belongs to a relatively large language family.

The people who say this are basically people who have never been exposed to foreign languages, and the so-called ignorant are fearless! Every language has its own culture, and for outsiders, it's not easy!
