Comment on Why does Chinese have more collective nouns than English? by nomen nescio

That’s not what collective noun means. In English a collecitve noun is one that expresses a plural meaning without a plural form. Coffee. Tea. Fish. Meat. These are all collective nouns.

What you are talking about is lexical space. It doesn’t have any deep meaning. Of course it is going to be very different between two language that didn’t have much contact until maybe the 18th or 19th century and which don’t have areal contact at all.

Comment on Confusing Chinese “N” word: 那个(nà ge/ nèi ge) by Someone

Someone — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 12:01:40 +0000

This is simply American hybris. There is a similar situation in some European languages, where the “classic” word for darker colored people almost all derive from the Latin word “niger” – which is simply the word for “dark (colored)”. In German “der Neger”, in France “le nègre”, in Spanish “el negro”, Italian “il negro”. During that time there was no judgement nor bias upon those words, it simply described dark(er) colored people. When black people from the states go to Europe and then read these words somewhere they often assume that it is the same word as the “N-word” but totally ignore that Europe didn’t have the US-slave-period nor many dark people at all. The first few “people of color” (from Africa) I saw in real life was at my university. Nowadays those words are also kind of bad connoted and I’d avoid using them. But they are still quite normal in literature till the 80s, even in children books. Some thing: “black facing”. In Europe just a way to simulate dark colored people in theater and carnival, in the US historically racism. And then US people start to yell at European children(!) in carnival to be racist. Just stupid, but well, USA.
