Now in May, we usually celebrate two days of Valentine's Day. I believe everyone can understand May 20. After all, 520 is homophonic to "I love you", but 521 is not understood by many people. So 520 What is the difference from 521?
Same as 520,
The homophone of 521 is also "I love you". According to the different pronunciations or pictograms of "0" and "1", 520 is mainly a festival for women, while 521 is mainly a festival for men.
Men can choose to confess "520" (I love you) to their wives, girlfriends or favorite goddesses on May 20th. May 21st is the day to confirm the answer. Women who are moved Remember to reply "521" (I do, I love you) to your husband, boyfriend or the man you like.
"521" has gradually been given the meaning of "I do, I love you" by lovers.
The same word may have different homophones. And because the number of numbers is extremely limited, each number is often given multiple meanings. For example, 04551 means "you are my only one", and the same number 5 can mean both "me" and "only". Similarly, a Chinese character "you" can represent either 0 or 1. How to match specific homophones?
It is the matching of initial consonants, rhymes and tones. Of course, the perfect match between the three is the most perfect. For example, 9 is used to represent "long", long, long, long, and achieves complete equivalence in sound. But in most cases, digital homophony only matches one or two items, or is even only roughly similar. For example, in 520 or 521, 5 has the same initial sound as "I", and 2 has the same sound as "love". Another example is the foodie festival 517 (I want to eat) that suddenly popped up two days ago. 7 has the same rhyme as "eat". All three of them only match a certain item, or are even roughly similar.
Next, let’s analyze according to the finals of Mandarin Chinese, which one is closer to “I love you”, 520 or 521. Because in Mandarin, both 1 (yī) and you (nǐ) have the final rhyme i, so 521 does sound closer to "I love you". However, 0 (líng) and you (nǐ) can only ensure the similarity in vowels, but cannot achieve matching. From this point of view, 521 does better represent "I love you". Therefore, many northerners may agree more that 521 represents "I love you". But here comes the problem. Due to the fusion of people from various dialect areas in China, digital homophony will inevitably be greatly affected by local dialects.
520 was first used to mean "I love you" and is said to have evolved from Cantonese. Because in Cantonese you are pronounced as nei, so the initial consonants of the two arematch. This applies to many southerners, because southerners generally don't distinguish between n and l, so they often hear 0 and the initial consonant of "you" as the same. And because the tones of the two are closer, many southerners are more inclined to regard 520 as "I love you."
Finally, the number 1 has its own uniqueness compared with other numbers. It can read either "yi" or "yao", especially in strings, it is often read as "yao", such as 110. In this case, 521 is not as good as 520 in expressing "I love you".
