- How Chinese Number Slang Works
We begin with a special case. While you’ve probably noticed that China is pretty big on homophones, similar sounds aren’t the only tools used to create Chinese number slang. Occasionally, half-forgotten myths from Chinese history have lent significance to certain numbers, and that’s the case with the pretty common insult “250.” Basically, in ancien...
An example of Hong Kong Cantoneseinternet slang, this one actually seems to make make more sense in Mandarin. While most Chinese number slang terms sound like other Chinese words, this one is used because it sounds like English words… sorta. “Bā bā liù” sounds close enough to “bye-bye le.” The lerefers to the Chinese grammar particle 了, which is us...
Now we get into more examples using Chinese words that sound similar to numbers. Let’s break this one down: 五 (wǔ) — 5 = 我 (wǒ)— I 二 (èr) — 2 = 爱 (ài)— love 零 (líng) — 0 = 你 (nǐ)— you Put it all together, and you get 我爱你 (wǒ ài nǐ) — “I love you!”
When read in Chinese, 1314 sounds similar to 一生一世 (yī shēng yī shì)— “one life, one world,” meaning “for the rest of my life” or “forever.” And, if you put the last two examples together, we get what has to be the quickest way to declare undying love in any language: 520 1314, or 我爱你一生一世 (wǒ ài nǐ yī shēng yī shì)— I love you forever!
OK, so I guess I was wrong. If typing the numbers “520 1314” takes too much time, there is in fact an even quicker way to tell someone that you’ll love them forever: 2013. When read in Chinese, these numbers sound reasonably close to 爱你一生 (ài nǐ yī shēng)— “love you one life!”
If your numeric declaration of undying love was met with deafening silence and you were feeling a bit upset about it, you could express your emotions by writing 555. Read in Chinese as “wǔwǔwǔ,” this is an onomatopoeia for crying. Not exactly high literature, but hey, it makes sense!
You may have noticed by now that Chinese number slang tends towards hyperbole. In a world where lifelong dedication to someone can be expressed with a small string of numbers, even the mildest disappointmentcan call for something that would otherwise be considered extreme. When the number “1” is read as “yao” (more on this below), then 514 sounds l...
So you’re going through the stages of grief and have passed from tears to fury. Got to be a quick number slang way of expressing this, right? 7456 sounds close enough to 气死我了 (qì sǐ wǒ le)— “you’re angering me to death!”
Here are the digits 0-9, and some of their possible word equivalents: 1. 零 (líng) — zero. This can be used to mean 你 (nǐ) — you. Now, to me, they really don’t sound that similar, but in some Chinese dialects the n and l sounds are pretty interchangeable. 2. 一 (yī) — one. Another one that’s a bit tricky. The number one is generally pronounced yī in ...
