015 Computer
When Chinese people say “electric brain,” they’re not talking neuroscience! It’s the literal translation of “computer” in Chinese. It sounds a bit like caveman speak. But let’s break it down.
电脑 / 電腦 (diàn nǎo) means computer.
电 / 電 (diàn): a square field 田 + a lightning bolt down the middle = electricity!
脑/腦 (nǎo): brain.
Other techy words use 电:
電視 / 电视 (diàn shì) = electric vision.
電話 / 电话 (diàn huà) = electric speech.
It’s simple, isn’t it?
