Demonic_Duck Posted February 27, 2017 at 10:23 AM Report Posted February 27, 2017 at 10:23 AM "Nou" isn't a valid Pinyin (Mandarin) syllable. Possibly a Jyutping (Cantonese) rendering of 腦子/脑子 "brain". Quote

New Members Overpopulation Posted February 27, 2017 at 01:47 PM Author New Members Report Posted February 27, 2017 at 01:47 PM It was in a chinese graffiti on a picture. It looked like it was the way the upper was meant to be read. My best efforts lead me to: 耨 nòu hoe to hoe to weed 獳 nòu angry dog 鎒 nòu variant of 耨[nou4] Quote
New Members Overpopulation Posted February 27, 2017 at 01:49 PM Author New Members Report Posted February 27, 2017 at 01:49 PM Btw i dont have acces to that picture nor there is any way i may recall the chinese characters ._. Quote
Demonic_Duck Posted February 27, 2017 at 03:04 PM Report Posted February 27, 2017 at 03:04 PM Huh. Turns out nou is a valid pinyin syllable. Quote
Publius Posted February 27, 2017 at 03:26 PM Report Posted February 27, 2017 at 03:26 PM Out of the 8 candidate characters Google Pinyin provides for 'nou', I know 0. I know what 耨 means but not how to pronounce it. 1 Quote

Demonic_Duck Posted February 27, 2017 at 04:31 PM Report Posted February 27, 2017 at 04:31 PM Oh 耨 he doesn't! Quote
New Members Overpopulation Posted March 6, 2017 at 12:37 AM Author New Members Report Posted March 6, 2017 at 12:37 AM Ao an angry dog, and angry brain, zi means thing as far as i read. So wht the heck does this mean. If without a context an average chinese find nouzi what does he thinks it means. Quote
Demonic_Duck Posted March 6, 2017 at 05:05 AM Report Posted March 6, 2017 at 05:05 AM Cantonese pronunciation for 腦子 "brain" is by far the most likely of anything mentioned so far. The other characters are all extremely rare. Quote
