Koneko Posted May 11, 2006 at 10:02 AM Report Posted May 11, 2006 at 10:02 AM Is this word, 纸鸢, used mainly in written Chinese? Whereas, 风筝, is more colloquial? Thanks! Quote
jukebox Posted May 11, 2006 at 10:53 AM Report Posted May 11, 2006 at 10:53 AM 纸鸢 is almost obsolete. Use 纸鸢 only when writing literature essays. Quote
skylee Posted May 11, 2006 at 01:24 PM Report Posted May 11, 2006 at 01:24 PM In spoken HK Cantonese we use 紙鷂 for kites. In writing 風箏 is more common than 紙鳶。 Quote
