    "hole" + "say" + "horse" + "thread"(x2) + "long"(x2) + "knife" + "heart" + "walk" = ?
  • FelliVox
    A voice from the hole said to the horse "bring me two long ass threads or I'll stab you in the heart before you walk away".

    @FelliVox, Haha. If I hadn't accidentally missed out one of the components, then I'm sure your answer would have been correct.

    Forgot to mention 月, which is probably "meat" in this case.

    Whoa~ Those are quite a lot of radicals there...
  • beee_17
    It means: "The students will never ace this test."
  • strawhat64
    Even if you wrote that in simple Kanji it would still be easier.
  • shirokitsune
    Well in Chinese that is pronounced Biáng and is an onomatopoeia for noodles slapping a table. It currently has no meaning in Japanese and its origin is unknown... I am totally serious this is not a joke.

    hahahahaha I would add heavy drugs, nothing to do and a lot of alcohol. This is how Japanese language was created. =D
  • DragonR33UA
    月 It should be moon, so also new meaning meat? Meat & Moon. Hmmm. So Sund and vegetables. And the only question will be where is the fruits.
  • DragonR33UA
    The big plus is that is looks pretty and cool. That is all. Good to make a Tattoo or something.

    @DragonR33UA, 肉 often looks the same as 月 when it's a component part within a kanji. It might not be 肉 in this case though. Was just guessing.
  • ZyKizumi16
    Seriously. I haven't seen this one before. Is this an original chinese character?
  • xmasmelinda
    Oh, the character is the hardest one to write for Chinese people. It's basically a complicated way of writing a popular kind of noodle. If students are late in China, they have to write this character 100 times.
  • Tamir
    how is it read?

    The Chinese pronunciation is provided in the image. Click/copy and paste the link to see the image. Hope it helps. Apparently it's simplified but it's still pretty complicated. It probably qualifies as a character for simplified and traditional Chinese.
  • Joker12332
    Eh.chinese..over 50,000 characters
  • DragonR33UA
    Joker12332 Yeah, but the only question is do they have many different ways how to read the kanji? This is interesting.
  • shirokitsune
    In Chinese every character only has one sound. This makes some linguists state that Japanese is more difficult than Chinese even though Chinese has more characters.
  • DragonR33UA
    shirokitsune This is interesting. So when I am understand right, Chinese has one Kanji and one way how to read and pronounce this Kanji? It is true?
  • Malamut
  • shirokitsune
    Some characters have the same or very familiar sounds but there is only one way to read each character
  • Malamut
    no, for roughly 20 percent of the most hanzi there are multiple readings http://pinyin.info/chinese_characters/
    before the cultural revolution it was even more complicated. Similar to Japanese composita could be read totally different. But they greatly reduced those...
  • Malamut
    *mot common hanzi
  • Malamut
    If you still don´t believe here some search results for行

  • DragonR33UA
    Mostly this is just a longer so shorter sound, so it is still nearly same thing. 10% or 6% is not much. So it should be easier than Japanese.
  • shirokitsune
    Ok so it looks like my understanding was off. Thanks for the clarification malamut. When I reread my information it turns out what the characters have one of is syllables. For example 新 is shin which is one syllable but in Japanese there can be multiple syllables (atara).
  • poy99
    Apparently it's Chinese. It's called biang and has to do with with noodles and stuff. I think shirokitsune is right.
