     @mar77i @Viking I don't have Chinese input installed on this phone so I can't type it, but the fourth character is "man", the word being "zungman" (Chinese). @Viking typed "caa" which is indeed fork. The last word is room, so, "I am a Chinese room". If the words for Chinese and room combined have some extended meaning, I don't know what it is.

     Also, I only really can transliterate in canto which would be "ngo si zung man fong", I think the Mandarin would be roughly "wo shi zhong wen fong"

     @Viking Okay, excuse me. I have no idea about Chinese. I put
     
     "I'm in the Chinese room" into translate, and got back this. I think you're doing very well with interpreting the three characters, all I can tell is that I don't have the patience for a serious study of the Chinese writing system and/or languages.

     @mar77i

     Fork is just slightly different from the second character in China (middle kingdom).

     @Viking Oh. Yeah, it's an AI pun. Use your favorite translate tool, or just guess a meaning, that'll do just as well.
     
     I'll tell you whether you're write or wrong through some horoscope, or not.

     @mar77i @Viking I guess I should clarify that's "man" in pronunciation, meaning language, not the English meaning of "man"
