How do chinese people type?

Name: Anonymous 2013-06-13 22:13

They've got like fifty thousand letters in their alphabet, how do they fit all that in the keyboard?

but the proper chinese reading of 咖 is grade, it only has the meaning of coffee because it is an abbreviation of 咖啡, which only means coffee because it reads as coffee phonetically

Obviously Chinese has peculiarities because they don't have a standard phonetic alphabet (unlike Japanese), and they derive certain loanwords from pronounciation, but that isn't necessary, and it doesn't apply to Japanese.

I don't speak Cantonese but I can read it fairly well simply because I learned plenty of Kanji.

If you only spoke scottish gaelic yet knew how to read the alphabet, would you have a chance of understanding english?

I remember reading about a keyboard where you could type in chinese characters with key chords.  I'd love to try that someday, but remembering thousands of key combinations would be a bitch.
Typically though, you'll type in the pronunciation of a set of characters and the computer will attempt to translate it to the correct characters.

Japanese is a simplification of Chinese.

That's like saying English is a simplification of German.

Well, you can't understand everything, but you can get quite a bit out of chinese text if you know enough kanji.

They type out syllables each followed by numbers, like ni1hao1 turns into 你好.

My girlfriend is Taiwanese and her keyboard contains strokes that are typed to simulate the writing of the words. For instance, if a word is written by first drawing a vertical stroke, then you would start by typing the vertical stroke key, and so on.
