A language that causes misunderstanding and discomfort.


Rude language, such as vulgar language, is rubbish in language and must be resolutely removed.

The language taboo by others refers to the language that others do not want to hear, and avoid using it in conversation.

If someone talks about death, it can be expressed in euphemistic language such as "illness" and "go".

People in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan hate to say bad luck.

Especially Hongkong people have the habit of "8" disgusting "4".

Because Hongkong people's congresses speak Cantonese, Cantonese has "8" and "hair" homophones, and "4" and "death" are homophones.

Therefore, in the face of not saying "4" is not possible, the application of "two pairs" instead.

When we celebrate holidays, we can not say "Happy New Year" or "happy holidays". Instead, we should use "Happy New Year", "happy holidays" or "congratulations on making a fortune".

This is also a homophonic relationship, because "happiness" and "fast falling" sound very similar.


Language that is easy to cause misunderstandings and displeasure should also be avoided.

When we talk about its appearance, we can change "obesity" into "fullness" or "blessing", while "thin" is replaced by "slender" or "elegant".

When you attend a wedding, you should wish the newly married couple to grow old together.

When you visit a patient, you should say some comforting words, such as "your spirit is good", "your complexion is much better than the previous few days" and so on.

In daily life, if there is any conflict, we should deal with it calmly, without using the language of criticism, and using the language of understanding.
