I really need to buckle down and memorize the most common Chinese particles, because with Japanese vocabulary + kanji I think I could at least get the gist for simple sentences. Like, from an earlier post I learned that 们 was the plural marker, so what I got was
others waste ?? I ?? ?-bullet/projectile
I don’t think I’d be able to guess that 导 is a simplified form of 導[1] purely by inspection in the same way I easily guessed that 费 was 費, but if I knew that 了 was the perfective aspect marker and 的 was basically の the rest becomes clear.
Simplified Chinese was a scheme devised specifically to hamper the ability of weebs to achieve Chinese literacy, which…fair. ↩︎
