Wui friendz Nokia has just announced new devices from their N-Series family,
i.e. Nokia N75, N95 and the latest N81.
They are absolutely very cool devices, mgaganda ung mga features.
parang computer na talaga. kaya nga they are marketed as multimedia computers,
no longer as smart phones or mobile phones.
Anyway, there was a question that pop up in my mind,
why the numbering jumps from N73 to N75 and from N93 to N95.
or 6300 to 6500. Where are N74, N94 and 6400?
bkit wala? hhhhmmmmm…….
Is “4″ unlucky number for Nokia?
or cguro ayaw lang talaga nila kc baka di bumenta hehehe…
But honestly, I don’t have the answer. What I do know is that
“4″ is not a good number in Chinese tradition.
Why? Because it is pronounced as “shi”, very similar to “death”
not sure bout this kya kung alam nyo post nalang ur comment here
pra mag stop nko kakaicip. hahahaha
XIAO!
Yes, in Hokkien and Taiwanese, it is pronounced as “si”, which also means ‘death’. Same goes for the Cantonese, who pronounce it as “sei”, and the Mandarin who pronounced it as “se”.
And no, it is never perceived as a lucky number.
That’s why in hospitals, Chinese do not want to be admitted in a room that is starting with a number ‘4′. It signifies that the person will die.
hehehe, well said! tama! thnx po!
