马盖云 Posted August 26, 2010 at 04:04 PM Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 at 04:04 PM Surprised no one else has replied, seems simple enough. From top to bottom: lao po da ren lao means 'old', po also has a meaning of 'old woman', but together laopo means "wife" da means 'big', ren means 'person', together, daren means "adult". So not sure the context, but there it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what it means in this context, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
马盖云 Posted August 26, 2010 at 05:26 PM Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 at 05:26 PM Ah, google lights up with responses, many linking to this cantonese TV show: <<Just Love>> about a woman judge... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Love without context (what is this wooden pole? a piece of furniture in a courtroom, someone's bedpost?, etc :rolleyes: ) it's hard to know!
