Motley Posted March 3, 2013 at 08:03 AM Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 at 08:03 AM I have a tin with some writing on and would like to find out what it means. Someone said it meant Large Four but I have checked it out and it does not seem to be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 3, 2013 at 08:29 AM Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 at 08:29 AM It means large/big four. And, to read it properly, you should rotate the picture closewise by 90 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingo-ling Posted March 4, 2013 at 10:09 AM Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 at 10:09 AM Yes: 大四 is short for 大學四年級, referring to the 4th year in a university undergraduate program. It could indicate the student ("senior"/"4th year undergrad") or the year ("senior year"/"4th year"), depending on context. But only in an undergrad program. What we call a "high school senior" in the US is usually 高三. Also, depending on context, it could just mean "Big Four". Context is king.

Motley Posted March 4, 2013 at 11:48 PM Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 at 11:48 PM I was hoping that it would give me an idea of who made it or when it was made. Large/Big Four may just be a size mark used in manufacture so i'm none the wiser, but thank you for your replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
