Maddie Posted February 27, 2014 at 05:12 PM Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 05:12 PM I was wondering if someone could recognise this character and tell me what it means when associated with languages and which languages people speak. The character is.............都。 Thanks xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
陳德聰 Posted February 27, 2014 at 05:47 PM Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 05:47 PM ???Can you give a bit more context? What do you mean "when associated with languages and which languages people speak". As far as I know, there is no such things as "都语".

陳德聰 Posted February 27, 2014 at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 06:21 PM Even though I find the use of "汉文" weird, if not incorrect, the usage of 都 here is the primary regular usage meaning "all". 中国人Chinese people都all说speak中文Chinese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonic_Duck Posted February 28, 2014 at 03:52 PM Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 at 03:52 PM For future reference, as is apparent from the replies you got, you can get much quicker and better answers by posting the word in its original context (the more the better, at the very least the full sentence in which the word occurred) than by describing what you think the word is referring to.
