Great Post!
However, I would like to make a request. Can you kindly remove the "Gillseller" word from your original post? Putting the word "Gillseller" in your post is like someone posting a Japanese guide and stating that it's great for talking to JP NM botters.
You will be suprised at how many Chinese(Mandarin/Cantonese) speakers play this game. People from Taiwan, Hongkong, China, and Immigrants all over the world. Actually, many, if not most of the people you see as JP players are indeed chinese speaking players. SE does not have a Chinese version of the game, so they play the JP version and type in both Japanese and Chinese.
Thanks

Lol i learned pinyin from gil-sellers XD i never actually learned it (thats why ther are so many typos)... oh and im talking about traditional pin-yin not the whats-his-name one.
and regards to gilsellers, thats why its in "quotations"
All of the stuff in my post is NOT nesicarily what you would "say" more what you "type" in-game/internet. Leaning towards... slang..

Um... There are a few descrepencies in your post.
Most noticeably: zhong wen = written mandarin, while hua yu = spoken mandarin
So:

I don't know how to speak Chinese. = Wo bu hui jiang zhong wen

Would be saying you can/'t speak a written languange. o_O

Bump cause I had to google this thread today to communicate with someone who was helping me and my SAM friend get his AF body. Excellent post :D
This is good, careful to some of the posters about using cantonese with mandarin. There is a slight difference in spelling and pronunciation, so double check with someone to make sure you aren't interchaning between cantonese and mandarin. If you did...you'd make a lot of people laugh ^_^ lol.
Yep Yep, both Cantonese and Taiwainese use slightly different pronouciation, and there's no U with the eyes :p.
That is absolutely correct. The listed way of speaking would like saying in English "it's raining water'.
Wo hui jiang yi dian hua yu (or han yu) is the correct way.
It is better to add a Zou at the end, so it will be Xiang Zuo Zou, as this tells the person to actually walk to the left, as opposed to simply directing to the left.
Great post, things are pretty good in terms of PiYing.
ps: Ni Ma Ge Bi? Could mean "Your mother should die" but the word Ge doesnt fit in with mandarin, so I think this is more of a cantonese saying....i think.
For the birth, you can say: Xiao bao bao zhen ke ai. (meaning the baby is really cute).

hey nice n very useful. helps alot in communicating with chinese players. :)
Hey, great post! Thanks for putting this up, and to all those who contributed. Rate-ups around!
This would be handy for the person who posted earlier about what someone was trying to say to them.
For the record, as I don't camp NM's/HNM's etc. I have yet to encounter a gil-seller in this game, but I have encountered & partied with people of chinese origin. For those who doubt.. they are not all evil, gil-selling people.
