That the Polish word "kumpel," comes from German.
That the Chinese word 開工 is seldom used.
That the Chinese word 開設 is only used for a new business opening, and the equivalent of "open for business" is 開始營業.

How to type characters I don't know the pronunciation of, on my computer.
1.Type "u". Since no Mandarin syllable written using Pinyin begins with a "u," it's fine to use it for special purposes.
2.Type in the pronunciation of each radical, or maybe also sub-character part.
3.Select the one you're going for (it even tells you the pronunciation, how cool is that?).

I wanted to type 牌組, but I didn't know the pronunciation of the first character. So I typed "upianbei," and lo and behold, the first proposition was "牌(pái)" ("u" switches to this mode, "pian" (at the first or fourth tone) is the pronunciation of 片, and "bei" (first tone again) is the pronunciation of 卑) :D

That the Taiwanese word for negating verbs and adjectives (毋) is similar to Cantonese, as in, it has just a /m/ and now vowels! Awesome!

Yeah, it always it. How old that building is?
