Title Back from the Brink
Hi! I wanted to ask about the diminutive forms of Chinese names. Is there any difference between using "Xiao"…
It is all a cute and casual way to call someone in your family or love one. I think er 兒 is son. More like in villages or old time parents called their son’s first name and add son at the back. Ah in front, like Ah Ping, Ah Cho, Ah Ling… is a casual informal way to call a person you know so well. Calling the first name twice is sound cute and sweet way, just like we call Bobby, Jacky,
