>>1. Which is the most appropriate language to learn for business? For doing business in China, I would recommend you to learn Mandarin (as mention - the standard). Then again, doing businesses in Hong Kong, Macau, or other southern cities... learning Cantonese might help as well! >>2. Are the diffe...

In Simplified Chinese = 灿
In Traditional Chinese = 燦

That's my grandfather's name as well

Depends on the pitch of the "ma"

The sentence can be use in a serious way or a sarcastic way as well...

Don't know how to explain by writing out tho...

Cris... unfortunately... your friend is correct (in a way) since he's using slang Cantonese. Which I don't recommend you learning, as it contains rude and offensive words.

I think it said "你怎麼樣?"

"How are you?" or "Are you okay?" would be it's English counterpart.

Either the person emailing you wasn't using Chinese... or he/she was using a customized Chinese set... which is not common on Chinese PC/MAC.

It happens sometimes... I don't know any ways to fix it... but I would recommend you to ask that person to send it again.

亲切 - can be translated as "cordial", "friendliness", or "warmth"

I'm not good with translating things... but I think:
会记住你在我心中亲切

Is trying to say...
"I will remember you're friendliness/warmness in my heart"...

That's the best I can do... any objections?

I can't think of any good ones right now... blank mind.
But 血濃于水 "blood is thicker than water" can also means father or any relatives that shares the same bloodline as you.

I'm from Hong Kong, so I speak Cantonese. If you're talking about Cantonese, yes! There are words (modern terms) that are coined by / influenced by the Japanese. For example: the word for station in Chinese (站) the Japanese writes (駅). Check wikipedia for more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...
