THE Chinese language of modern youth formed
Chinese Internet slang is informal Chinese language coined to express ideas on the Chinese Internet in response to events, the influence of the mass media and foreign culture, and the desires of users to simplify and update the Chinese language. Slang that first appears on the Internet is often adopted to become current in everyday life. It includes content relating to all aspects of social life, mass media, economic, and political topics and the like. Internet slang is arguably the fastest-changing aspect of the language, created by a number of different influences—technology, mass media and foreign culture amongst others.
Just as English speakers use a whole dictionary of special words, contractions, memes and acronyms when chatting online, Chinese do the same.
While confusing at first, Chinese internet slang can be very rewarding to learn, and opens up a whole new sphere of communication with fellow Chinese netizens.
What’s more, Chinese internet slang really isn’t that hard to learn, following generally a few very simple rules, and requiring knowledge of only a few obscure memes.
Where Is It Okay to Use Chinese Slang? So Chinese internet slang exists, and can be a fun way of communication. This being said, it’s worth understanding the places where it’s appropriate to use Chinese slang, and when you would be better served use a more conventional Chinese vocabulary.
Currently, the most likely place a Chinese speaker or learner would encounter internet slang is on 微信 (wēi xìn) also known by its English name WeChat. This is a hugely popular messaging and social media app, which has taken China by storm in the last few years.
Rather than mobile phone numbers, Chinese people are now more likely to exchange WeChat IDs and use this service to keep in touch with each other. Given that this is a popular form of informal, interpersonal communication in China, it’s a hotbed of Chinese online slang.
So how are Chinese slangs formed?
Chinese slangs are mostly started by people who are popular on the Internet. Nowadays, many young people in China like to browse all kinds of interesting information online. Watch all kinds of interesting videos. Everyone inadvertently saw some very popular Internet celebrities say some interesting words, and then they would find it interesting, they would start to imitate and use, and then form Chinese slangs. Because these Chinese slangs are easy to use and easy to understand, they quickly became popular.
Thus, Chinese slangs in modern life formed by Internet culture and famous people's saying in Internet.
