    Be vigilant this year, your arch enemy the dragon (@dp4m) is bound to attack at some point. He is currently hidden, but if you crouch you will have an opportunity to pounce.

    This is a year for action and achievement. There may be hard work at times, but as you are the strongest character there is you will take it in your stride. Anyone who gets in your way, will get the horns.

    The rooster (or phoenix) symbolises transformation, and rebirth. This year I can foresee travel to warmer climates - possibly relocation. The direction of your travel will be west

    This is the year you find love.

    The Chinese believe the colour red to symbolise good luck and happiness, so invest in a pair of lucky red underpants, and wear them on date night.

    If anyone could do with a flock, it's you IATI

    That's a strange one, that image, and it seems to be that we push the idea of translating the Canto to its Mandarin equivalent to try and say "Happy New Year" for CNY.

    Happy new year is more "Xīn nián kuài lè (新年快乐)". Gōng xǐ fā cái (恭喜 发财) is basically "congratulations, make a fortune". You would say it to close family and friends. "Xīn nián kuài lè" is what you'd say to as a formal comment, and you can shorten it or make it more colloquial with "Xīn nián hǎo" (新年好) aka "good new year".

    I would definitely say 恭喜 发财/Gōng xǐ fā cái to @Lord Vivec and @Darth Guy. Make that fortune bo

    One Chinese New Year, a friend of mine who was in London's Chinatown for the food and festivities fancied a massage. At the end of the massage he was offered a happy ending (to which he accepted.) Once the deed was done, on departure, he said the only words in Mandarin he knew to the masseuse "Gōng xǐ fā cá."

    Which when literally translated strangely makes sense.

    It would be an honour if the winner of funniest JCer 2017 (and let’s face it, for every year) would do me. And do me hard.

    Naturally I’m a rabbit. And Scorpio.
