82riceballs Posted December 25, 2007 at 04:22 PM Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 at 04:22 PM I read this sentence while trying to make an account on a website: 請勿使用在他站相同的帳號和密碼 I think the gist of this means: Please do not use the same account ID and password as "在他站"??? What does this mean? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted December 25, 2007 at 04:24 PM Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 at 04:24 PM Probably a mistake and my guess would be something along the lines of 占用 and 其他 and somewhere in between there is a combination of those that got messed up???? :shrug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenpv Posted December 25, 2007 at 04:52 PM Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 at 04:52 PM 站 is short for 站点(儿), a casual way to refer to 'website'. So the Chinese sentence goes: Please do not use the same ID and password for other websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roddy Posted December 26, 2007 at 07:42 AM Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 at 07:42 AM Yeah, 他 as in 其他 rather than as in 他们- see also 他国,他人 - other countries, other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipponman Posted December 27, 2007 at 01:23 PM Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 at 01:23 PM Funny thing is, even though I study Japanese as well--which uses 他 in this function exclusively--I still had trouble figuring it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
