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?

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 :lol:

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.

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... :D

Mm-hm. 是 is only used to equate nouns. 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".
