German, Cantonese, mandarin, English, French.

I used to know in Swahili too, does that count ?

It’s coming from the abacus, meaning most likely all of Asian languages have this.

I wonder about Arabic ones ?

Well if you can count to ten in mandarin, you can count to 100.

It’s literally 5 10 2, 5 10 3 for 52, 53 etc.

Add one more word for hundreds, one more for thousands.

After that it gets tough cause numbers beyond thousands are split by packs of 10 thousands, not hundred thousands like most western world (I guess).

Similar to the lakh in Indian

Thanks, seems you’re not the only one writing down things…

Maybe I should try that as others suggested too. It’s something I was so happy to get rid of when I finished studying… Oh well

Thanks, appreciate the insights

Thanks for the tips, this post helps me realise the issue at hand.

For the chills, this 20 mins opera like:

Your close circle might enjoy what you have. Posting days of giveaways in front of your house/elevator/flat could also help ? “Pay what you want” kinda vibe ?

Cut you in the line like you dont exist. Try to force their way in the queue. Shout to their friends right next to your ears. Bump their luggage in your knee/feet/ankle. Stop in the middle of the road or in front of the elevators. Clip nails in public transport. Burp and fart in restaurant without a word. Drop trash on the floor. Spit in the street… you name it, I’ve seen it all.

And again, like all generalities, it doesn’t make much sense. I know not all Chinese people are like that. Especially your mom lol.

Rude, impolite and loud people. But not all Chinese people are like that. But the ones that are stand out the most.

I love dried shrimp. They smell very strong, are quite salty and I think full of cholesterol, but when I start a pack, it’s difficult for me to stop eating

Don’t even need home server, regular PC with a disk will do. Just fireup syncthing on both devices and voila. Can set syncthing to start on pc
