skylee Posted May 4, 2004 at 02:48 AM Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 at 02:48 AM I guess it is - 我來划拳 - Let me play huaquan 划拳 (hua2 quan2) - finger-guessing game - a drinking game at feasts ~ similar to the italian game mora 划拳 (hua2 quan2) = 猜拳 (cai1 quan2) I hope I am not very wrong.

ever00t Posted May 4, 2004 at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 at 06:53 PM About 'huaquan' It's important to pronounce it properly,otherwise it may makes big mistakes, for example --> Tom says " The Chinese has some special custom which we Amerians dont have,for example,they like 'hua1quan1' " Bruce says " hua1quan1 ? excuse me ? I could be wrong but isn't that sort of thing only being used after someone is died that to in memory of the person as a sacrifice ? " Tom says " huh ?" ... ... Okay, Bruce misunderstood it ? or no? 'hua1quan1'aka 'wreath' is a sacrifice in Chinese language so Bruce didn't misunderstand it,but Tom just put incorrect tones on huaquan ,he was actually trying to say 'hua2quan2' --->Finger game when drink alcohol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
