Happily1986 5th Gear February 8, 2012 Share February 8, 2012 i think you sld listen to news report as well...............New Zealand has been refer to 新西兰 in ch 8 news for a while already.............even in chinese newspaper it is also refer to 新西兰..................... this i agree. however, the point one ought to remember is that heuristically speaking, when one romanises the term of reference pertaining to character, place or phenomenon, utmost effort has always been made to ensure that phonetically, the romanised version and the native term of reference do not deviate too far.

Lurpsexx 6th Gear February 8, 2012 Author Share February 8, 2012 We were just joking about this just now.. From Wiki, " Taiwan here uses 紐 Niǔ for "New" phonetically in the same manner as 纽约 Niǔyuē (New York), whilst mainland China uses the semantic transcription 新 xīn which literally means "new" in Chinese. " Heng, New York is still 纽约 Niǔyuē and not 新约 xīnyuē... Hahahaha..... At least until the Ah Tiongs try to be funny and twist things around their way again... Things have been changing alot in SG in the last 2 decades since the scums in white open leg wide wide and let in all the foreigners... even our languages and culture have been arm twisted to suit other people's style.. who says Ch 8 is not China infested station now? Kee Chiu! Singaporeans will be extinct in 20 years.... Chinapore or Indiapore will rise..... Will you still be around then?? Vote wisely..... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
