Australian Former PM Kevin Rudd: Learning Chinese Is a ‘Doorway to Understand China”

Scroll to [21:00 minutes] Kevin learnt Chinese at 18 years old. He said Chinese is the easiest language in Grammar, compared to French and German.

It is true, there is no gender (male / female) or plural in Nouns; no tenses (past, present, past perfect, future, subjunctive…); there is no need to have extra subject (主语)/ object (宾语) particles(助词) like Japanese ( は / が ) / Korean (이가, 을를, 은는); there is no special polite forms of sentences like French (soyez, puissiez, …), Korean ( 가요, 먹어요, 좋아애요, 입니디)…

Ref: Compare Chinese, Japanese and Korean by Steve Kaufmann

All these complicated grammar rules are necessary due to the intrinsic weakness of these phonetic-based languages, but not needed in the ‘ideogramic’象形文字 Chinese because they are implicitely accomplished within the squared-form Hanzi (汉字) Characters。

有趣的中國字

Chinoiseries 《汉瀚》［中/英/日/韩/法］

有趣的中國字 -，寓意深遠……

日對曰說：你該減肥了。

井對丼說：超音波檢查出你有膽結石！

熊對能說：窮成這樣！四個掌全賣了？

口對回說：懷孕這麼久了，也不說一聲。

臣對巨說：裝潢一下，可多兩個房間。

旦對但說：膽小鬼！出門還要請保鏢。

果對裸說：你穿了衣服還像沒穿一樣！

木對林說：你怎麼學會複製我了？

扁對匾說：敗選就搞自閉？

王對皇說：當皇帝有什麼好？你看，頭髮都變白了！
