Yes, and those differences might not be best discussed in a foreign language such as English. :-)
Someone who does know both these languages at fluent levels would probably be able to tell more. *wistful* My grasp on Chinese is ridiculously poor, and a lot of things that I take for granted in English are ... just different in Chinese because of the way it just is.
Puns, according to my friends, are an indication of my dodgy sense of humour... but they're WRONG, obviously!! ;-)
Lol puns! I wonder why people think that puns are so bad? Or low-humour? Simple one-word-puns still take quie a bit of set-up.
(of which I am very sure there are heaps of in Chinese because of the high homonyms.)
