thousand characters in the chinese alphabet,while only 26 inthe english.explain, how this served as a motivat?

Answer 1

Chinese is a complex language.each single word can have a meaning or more. unlike english, u need to combine a series of letters to a word that has meaning.

Answer 2

There is no Chinese "alphabet". Chinese writing is made up of ideograms, which represent a complete idea, unlike Latin languages where letters represent sounds. In most Latin languages, where one letter has one sound, you can pronounce a word correctly but have no idea what it means. In Chinese, you can look at a character and know exactly what it means, but not know how to pronounce it.

Each character in Chinese writing can be made up of one or many radicals. Radicals are the base ideograms that are put together to form the character. There are less than 300 radicals.

For example: the character for "Man" is the radical for field over the radical for power. The character for "good" is the radical for "female" next to the radical for "baby boy."

Answer 3

26 letters yes but more phoenetic sounds, something in the area of 42. chinese characters are more descriptive as well, giving background to the word and even the sentance/phrase. American alphabet is dry, leaving the rest of the grammar to give meaning to what is said.

Answer 4

chinese characters may be dissected into individual symbols, for example, the symbol for water will appear in the word ocean, as well as spit.

Chinese language also has a pronounciation alphabet, similar to the English language, around 20 characters. It is used for pronounciation only, though.

Answer 5

Chinese one are not alphabet at all. They are all words. In english, you have to remember all word how to spell them. Chinese only write one character for a word. Certainly chinese kanji are difficult.

Answer 6

i have to add this: even in chinese, certain words have different meanings when used in a different context. some characters have different meanings or are meaningless when used on their own. for example, butterfly in chinese is translated into two characters. those two characters have a different meaning when used separately.

Answer 7

The english language comes from the greek and latin languages and they were both Phoenetic (by sound)
The chinese language has characters and symbols that mean things. It is not phoenetic.

Answer 8

26 letters is all they could fit on our type writters and key boards.
Chinese language looks like art. It is So pretty.
