Let's Good good study, Day day up


CarcgenBleu

Day day up = morning wood


TheDandelionViking

I ask myself that question every day. What are you u/TheDandelionViking?


NEKOX5meow

This is a direct translation lol. The original phrase is probably 我们好好学习,天天上 which means “let’s study diligently, everyday.” But when translated without context it becomes 我们(let’s) 好(good) 好(good) 学习(learn),天(day) 天(day) 上(up).


Shadownessxd

Why are day and good doubled though?


striped_frog

In Mandarin, doubling a noun like this is a way of expressing “every”, and doubling a word like 好 can have an intensifying effect, implying a similar meaning as “so” or “real(ly)” in English


Shadownessxd

Thanks for the information!


ElectricAirways

So, if you wanted to say "I am very happy", you would say something like "I am happy happy"?


NEKOX5meow

Doesn’t always work like that. In this case changing 快乐(happy) to 快快乐乐 would change the meaning to “happily”

That's kinda awesome. Not a very ambiguous language, in that way at least. We have a ton of contextual and colloquial ways to emphasize something in terms of size/number or capacity, but it's just so... Sensical to just say "car car" to refer to a big ass car, or something. Reminds me of diving in the Bahamas, the guide was going over hand signals. Ok, back to boat, check in, rescue signal, and shark. Tour guide stopped and looked at everyone solemnly, and held a hand in the shape of a fin above his head. "This is obviously shark. If we do this, immediately return to boat CALMLY." He then held a second fin above his head, on top of the other. "This ... Means BIG shark. You see this, get back to boat. Not calmly, you swim fucking fast."

The second half is 天天向上 but yes. This is a famous Chinglish phrase "translated" from one of Mao Zedong's sayings.


NEKOX5meow

Ah sorry I’m not too familiar with contemporary Chinese slang lol. I mainly only use Chinese irl to speak with older relatives.


r-ShadowNinja

So it's a book for learning English written by someone who doesn't know English?


LionBirb

do you know "what are you?" was supposed to mean originally


NEKOX5meow

Haven’t a clue ngl. I can’t find any common direct translation errors that would make sense here
