@hotsoup
nope! that's tongzhi.
yi ge means "a" or "an" or "one thing," with yi being one and ge being a measure word used for generic non human items

@Dio9sys the people who will be most impressed will be average Chinese people who will think you're some kind of genius. :)
Learn how to write fancy brushstroke calligraphy, even if it's only for a few characters, and you'll ascend into the status of minor linguistic deity.

@Dio9sys I had a shirt a while ago, back when I was actively studying Chinese. It had a brush painting of a willow and vertical text alongside it: ไธ้ปๆๆไนๆฒๆไฝๆฏ็่ตทไพๅพๆผไบฎ, so when people asked me "do you even know what it says," I told them "no idea, but looks pretty".

@Dio9sys lol, I found my original template for it. I was wrong, it was a dragon, not a willow. https://mricon.com/misc/yidianyisi.pdf
