Dolph Posted April 23, 2008 at 10:59 PM Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 at 10:59 PM Okey. Sorry for this "hijack". But as the name of the thread seems fitting and my login seems bugged so that everytime I enter "Chinese Tattos, Chinese Names..." I get logged out but as soon as I enter a thread or other forum I am logged in again I need to use an excisting thread or wrong forum. As this thread seems done I hoped no one would minde. Im truly sorry if this is the wrong way around my problem. Anyway, I'm saw an interesting lamp for sale a few days ago and it doned 2 chinese signs, I don't want to buy anything without knowing it's "meaning" so I took pictures of the signs and was hoping you guys could help me. http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc01145ov0.jpg http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc01146yk3.jpg One of the signs looked familiar to the word "male" or "man" but the other did not resemble "female" or "woman" so I dismissed that thought, help appreciated Thanks Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monto Posted April 24, 2008 at 01:10 AM Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 at 01:10 AM In the first pic, It is 果 main meaning of which is "fruit", and in the second pic, It is 寿 meaning long life, the second should be read first, to make up 寿果 = fruit for long life. It is considered absolutely good word in Chinese. So I guess the lamp may shape like a peach. Is it so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
