mandarinstudent Posted May 21, 2006 at 03:24 PM Report Posted May 21, 2006 at 03:24 PM I was just wondering if anyone knows the chinese equivalent of "corny" or "sappy". Thanks. Quote
semantic nuance Posted May 21, 2006 at 03:35 PM Report Posted May 21, 2006 at 03:35 PM if you refer 'sappy' or 'corny' to love songs, there's a slangy expression of that: 芭樂歌. The first two characters are pronounced in Taiwanese as "ba la". It is derived from 'ballad'. 芭樂歌 usually means songs which lack novelty. Hope it helps! Quote
