I have no idea what ElderCousinMothersSiblingsDaughterOrFathersSistersDaughter is, and understanding and remembering "BiaoJie" would be much easier for me than re-parsing that every time. As I pointed out in another comment, there's a reason we give short names to complicated concepts instead of spelling them out every time. "while" is a lot easier to understand once its meaning has been explained to you than "EveryTimeWeGetHereCheckIfThisConditionIsTrueAndExecuteThisCodeBlockAndJumpBackHereIfSo".
> Something like CNBiaoJie also assumes that Chinese is the only language that names this relationship, and I don't know if that's true.
No it doesn't, not any more than having an identifier called "Sister" assumes that English is the only language with the concept of sisters.
- eridius 7y agoBiaoJie is literally the transliteration of Chinese. So yes, naming it BiaoJie is saying this is explicitly Chinese.
