So the marker for possession ي is pronounced similar to the i like the i in sit? Are all possessive markers attached to the end of a word? (No need to go into depth if that’s gunna be a later lesson)

Awesome thank you!

I play casually (pokepocket and tcg mobile) and am connected to people who play competitive both locally and in JPN. I’m only recently interested in trading for profit because my brother suggested he’d buy some starter kits for his kids, and then put some cards aside as an investment. I said yeah sure go ahead but you need to know who to sell to, how to sell and when, so I’m looking into it on his behalf.

it will usually have a usable trainer

By this do you mean Trainer cards (like item/pkmn/stadium) card?

Also if i ever finessed anything you wouldn’t find me admitting to it here

I’m curious about this, is it worthwhile?

I’m upset that i can’t download stickers from xhs, and I can’t port my WeChat ones across or visa versa.

One of my favourite comedians is on the adam friedland podcast and ngl it’s kinda boring. Adam has no sauce. None.

Edit: replied to a comment instead of posting to top level my bad

typing the first letter of characters for an abbreviation isn’t american laziness, Chinese speakers frequently do it too, and it’s an easy way of typing common words with Pinyin input, for e.g. typing XHS brings up a list of words including tomato (xihongshi), vibrant red (xian hongse) and Xinhua news agency (xinhua she)

Look at those gams!

Yeah, I’d learn pinyin first then tones, because tones kind of sit ‘on top’ of the base sounds of the language. It’s possible to speak toneless Mandarin and still be basically understood by context. But you can’t really speak with just pitch. I’ll @you if I ever get my act together and make the post! There’s quite a few Mandarin speakers and learners on HB so hopefully we can pool our brains together to help new learners get over the rough early game (??? is that a saying or am I just making shit up???)
