\u795e\u9a6c\u90fd\u662f\u6d6e\u4e91 (sh\u00e9nm\u01ce d\u014du sh\u00ec f\u00fay\u00fan\uff09is a Chinese phrase I learnt yesterday which means something like “everything is fleeting \/ transient” or “nothing is permanent”. The \u795e\u9a6c part is internet slang for \u4ec0\u4e48 (sh\u00e9nme) = what, and \u6d6e\u4e91 [\u6d6e\u96f2] (f\u00fay\u00fan) means floating clouds, fleeting, transient. This is apparently a popular phrase in China at the moment, particularly online. <\/p>\n
Another phrase that’s popular online at the moment is \u6709\u6728\u6709 (you m\u00f9you) instead of \u6709\u6ca1\u6709 (y\u01d2u m\u00e9iy\u01d2u) = “have not have” – this is a typical form of question in Mandarin Chinese. For example, \u4f60\u6709\u6ca1\u6709\u65f6\u95f4\uff1f (n\u01d0 y\u01d2u m\u00e9iy\u01d2u sh\u00edji\u0101n?) = Do you have time? If you translate such questions literally into English they can sound rude – “You have not have time?” or “You have time or not?”, but this is fine in Chinese.<\/p>\n
