Actually... I haven't written much Chinese in these 6 years... so I think I won't remember  ping ying much either...

Wait, if you're fluent in mandarin, do you know what this mean: 512

*my friend gave me that riddle*

thats if you are saying it by one number at a time (like saying 512 as five-one-two)

wu bai yi se ar (is saying five hundred and twelve, and once again sorry for my pingying)

now, I dont see any hidden riddles and proverbs in it, but heres my guess

*puts on deduction cap

watashi ha koukousei tantei Ranger

mazaka...
Spoiler:
it may refer to the date.  512.  May 12th.  Regarding chinese history, this was when a major earthquake happened last year in 2008.  This what your friend may have been referring to when someone that knows chinese would understand
please tell your friend eve if that is the meaning :D

I speak/read/write Filipino, English, and Chinese. A bit of Japanese since i'm still trying to learn it ^^
at least there's the advantage of Japanese kanji and Chinese characters being the same  :P
bluekaitou1412 wrote: Others (Filipino) - native language
English - that is not too obvious
Japanese - watching a lot of animes help
Spanish - not too much, but a lot of Filipino words came from the Spanish language
Chinese - a little bit, my father taught me some words
lol i forgot about Spanish since the Spanish words are now used so commonly, it's hard to differentiate XD

then in that case, we know the same languages  :D

it's nice isn't it? i sometimes feel the same
especially on the first day of college, i found out that a 3 or 4 of my classmates are Chinese and we started to talk about which school we were from XD

though i must say, i'm not fluent in Chinese ^^

(Syak lng samet ti agil-ilokano d2y... :P)

Filipino, Ilokano, Ibaloy/Nabaloy, Waray... a lot of languages just for the "others" option... ^^

And, err... I think it's fairly obvious that all who post here should at least know English, so why bother placing it as an option? ::)
