Legend has it that a Chinese emperor, hundreds or thousands of years ago, gathered all the animals together and told them that if they were to complete his challenge, they would make it on his zodiac list. These animals had to compete with each other and only 12 would win. Much like the 12-character zodiac in Western culture. So, what happened in the end? Well, the rat, due to his cunning nature, snuck on top of the ox\u2019s back who carried him across the river. Once they were on land, the rat jumped off and was the first animal to make it to the zodiac. The second animal was the ox, while the third animal was the tiger. You may already know that 2022 in the Chinese zodiac is the year of the tiger. Being born in such a year means that the individuals born then will have a ferocious, magnetic, and strong nature, much like the animal itself. But we wanted to do something more original this year and what better way to do it than asking our colleagues in China to share some insights.<\/p>\n

Meet & Greet with a Tiger<\/h2>\n

You most likely wouldn\u2019t have a problem with asking someone about their age might be to go around it the \u201cChinese\u201d way by simply asking \u4f60\u5c5e\u4ec0\u4e48?\u201d (N\u01d0 sh\u01d4 sh\u00e9nme?) which means \u201cWhat sign are you?\u201d. This is a very delicate way to ask \u201cHow old are you?\u201d and it is typical for the subtle and different approach Chinese culture has infused in their speech and communication.
\nBut besides this we have a few curious and very cool facts to share with you on the way Chinese people will celebrate this year and with a little glimpse into their language, too.
\nThe \u864e in Chinese culture symbolizes strength and is regarded as a very dangerous animal but at the same time it has another side, which considers their strength their weakness. In fact, there is a very well-know Chinese idiom that says \u9a91\u864e\u96be\u4e0b (q\u00edh\u01d4-n\u00e1nxi\u00e0) and translated into English it means \u201cIf you ride a tiger, it is hard to get off\u201d. In reality, it reminds us of the fact that once you gain speed, it might be difficult to stop halfway.<\/p>\n

Another typical feature of the Chinese language is that sometimes a character can mean a few things based on the way it is used. And you can clearly see in the simple word \u864e (tiger), which if you use as noun means the animal tiger, while if you use it as an adjective means \u201cbrave without wisdom\u201d. And who doesn\u2019t want to be associated with such a wonderful sign from the zodiac, right?<\/p>\n

Animals & New Year Greetings – why not?<\/h2>\n

\"YearA very fascinating feature we discovered from one of our colleagues, Darcy, is that actually in China when people greet each other for New Year, they often use the animal of the year in their greetings. If it is the year of the Rat it will be some expressions related to the most typical features of the rat. And because this year is the Year of the Tiger, we found out that locals will use expressions which include the tiger\u2019s qualities in their greetings. So here is a special selection of a few expressions you can use if you have some Chinese friends and you want to greet them properly:<\/p>\n

\u864e\u6c14\u51b2\u5929 \/Tiger is soaring\/ – Be powerful and successful in the Year of the Tiger<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u9f13\u8db3\u864e\u52b2 \/Galloping up\/ – Wish you have the bravery and strength of Tiger<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u51b2\u5929\u864e\u6c14 \/Soaring to the sky\/ – May you have the strong power of Tiger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve equipped you with some nice well-wishes for your friends in China, it is time to go and celebrate. <\/p>\n

But before we go\u2026<\/h2>\n

There are a lot of ways to showcase the differences in languages and the Chinese New Year is a typical example of how Chinese language and culture are different from others. All these small nuances of a character changing its meaning or an expression hiding another meaning deep inside can be found in simple daily life examples. The thing is one\u2019s eyes should be opened before looking for them because if you don\u2019t know what you are looking for it is easy to miss it. Which would be a real pity because languages are such a beautiful universe everyone has to touch\u2026<\/p>\n
