Talk:Mao Mao/@comment-33056250-20191103231530

After seeing the Chinese translation I wanted to clarify some things (I'm Chinese myself and have somewhat of an understanding of the language)

Long story short, the translation is "Cat Cat", not "Cat Cat Cat"

But in a more in depth term to explain why, whilst "Mao" (in this instance) equates to "Cat", "Mao Mao" also equates to "Cat" as well. "Mao Mao" is pronounced as "MaoMao" (evident in the show through Badgerclops saying "Mao MaoMao") as if the two words were one, and (from my experience so I could be wrong) is a more informal term that I usually hear being spoken by either children or adults pointing out a cat to a child.

Another example of this would be "Bao Bao", pronounced together as "BaoBao" and typically referrs to either "treasure" (though "treasure" in this sense is usually addressed to a person, so say if you really love someone and consider them a "treasure" you'd call them this) and/or "baby".

Something rather unneccessary but just to look out for is that Pin Yin ("Mao", "Bao") can have several different meanings without an accent. "Mao" can also mean fur (mentioned below), "Mao Mao" can also mean furry (in a textural sense),  "Bao" can also mean "feeling full" ("Wo bao le" means "I'm full") and "hug", and "Bao Bao" can also mean "hug" as well. There's most certainly more meanings to these words but again my understanding isn't the most expert and I don't want to give out the wrong information. So yes, it can have several meanings, it just all boils down to the accent given.

So yeah, I hope this helped clear some things up, just wanted to stop by and give some  additional info on translations!
