Like how do you fit all the Chinese characters on a Chinese laptop, wouldn't that take up a shit ton of space?

Sorry I'm a big ignorant American who barely speaks English so I got no fucking idea.

    I don't trust myself sadly :(

    But maybe I'll give it a wing, at worst I'll learn how to say "where is the bathroom" in Chinese which is the most useful phrase ever.

      洗手间在哪里？

      洗手间 - Bathroom [literally wash-hand-room]

      在 - (is) at [many usages but here it means is]

      哪里 - where? [a where-question pronoun together with a character meaning inside]

      All of these are words contained within the first or second official level of Chinese for foreigners (the HSK exam), and building a basic sentence is actually quite easy :)

      It can be daunting to start learning Mandarin because of the characters and tones, but the total disparity from English makes it fun to explore - a whole different world of language!
