Alveranter Posted June 28, 2004 at 09:42 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 at 09:42 PM I'm sorry, but I'm new to chinese and totally unaware of how you type chinese characters on your computer.. (or in this case MY computer =) (laughing is mandatory) do you have to have a chinese-based operative system or what? /Anton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liuzhou Posted June 29, 2004 at 06:16 PM Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 at 06:16 PM A Chinese operating system is not required. Setting it up varies depending on your operating system. What operating system are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw Posted July 1, 2004 at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 at 06:00 PM You should use NJ Star then if you have Windows 98. It's a bit buggy and crashes at times, but I still consider it one of the best CJK IMEs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benotnobody Posted July 15, 2004 at 09:53 AM Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 at 09:53 AM You should use NJ Star then if you have Windows 98. It's a bit buggy and crashes at times, but I still consider it one of the best CJK IMEs out there. But the problem is that its not free...unless you crack the trial version You can download free Global IMEs for Windows 9x and NT from Microsoft's website. These allow you to type in the romanisation of a character, and select the corresponding character. http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5/IME/5.02/W9XNT4/EN-US/msscaime.exe This is a link to download the Simplified Chinese IME, or... http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5/IME/5.02/W9XNT4/EN-US/msTCaime.exe This is a link to download the Traditional Chinese IME. I haven't actually used these myself, as I don't have a computer with WIndows 98. If they don't work, you're best bet is NJStar. It really is quite good, plus it has loads of input methods (like zhuyin.) Good luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted July 15, 2004 at 05:20 PM Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 at 05:20 PM They work. I use the Global IME for Windows 98, and though it took me a while to figure out how to use it (!) it works. NJStar is also excellent and gets a lot of use on my pc.

benotnobody Posted August 14, 2004 at 07:16 AM Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 at 07:16 AM No 是 is needed. Mm-hm. 是 is only used to equate nouns. In this sense, the adverb 很 does not always mean "very". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this sense, the adverb 很 does not always mean "very"...... hehehe .... are you ssuuuuuuurrre? Perhaps I should have been more articulate. What I meant was that the 很 could be read as meaning "is very" as opposed to just "very". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
