chinese word for fuck

The correct word for fuck in chinese is 肏 (cao4). People often write 操, same sound, but incorrect word. Possibly this incorrect usage began as euphemism.

The word 肏, is made up of 2 words. The top is 入 (ru4), meaning “enter”. The bottom is 肉 (ruo4), meaning flesh.

  1. I am interested in the Chinese language, but I haven't studied it at all. I especially like this post because I see the Chinese character correctly in Firefox. I assume it's correct, I guess I must say. I do not know how to describe an ideograph by listing the radicals. I also don't know the radicals! Is that even the correct word to use? I learned it somewhere in becoming a character-set geek professionally. Actually the term was applied to a way of designing icons from components "as a Chinese character is composed from elements."

  2. hi Erikur, if you see the 入 (ru4) char as like a reversed lambda, then it's renderered correctly. another similar one like lambda is 人 (ren2), meaning people, person, human.
