ok... so i just decided to bring this up... dun ask why cos u won't get an answer... =)
when it comes to the word 'love'... i think it's become so often used that we forget what's love... so i've looked back at the traditional chinese words and u'll really see why chinese really can mean alot...

on the left is the simplified chinese writing 简体中文. and the word is the word 'love' in chinese. which is also "爱"... the circled word "友" means 'friendship'. and just simply just that...
on the RIGHT is the traditional chinese writing 繁体中文. same word... different way of writing... cos this word has been simplified over the yrs... the circled one on in this word is "心".. which also means 'the heart'...
that's y even though i dun really knw hw to write in traditional chinese, i hv a tendency to write the traditional way when it comes to this word, 'love'... cos to me.. i feel that somehow or rather.. it makes a diff...
isn't it amazing? the way chinese can play about with the meaning of a word? =) so.. hope by what i post, u'll get what i mean even if i dun say it out directly... =)
life's just full of new things to find out everyday... it's just whether u want/bother to or not...Labels: meaning of 'love'
