What do foreigners mean by KK?
OK means: ok, it's acceptable. You can also agree, agree. OK can also be written as ok or o.k, with the same pronunciation. It is also the most famous English word in the world.
It is worth mentioning that since the reform and opening up in China, the word OK has become very popular and a fashionable term. However, due to overuse, there are many misuses. For example:
American colleagues shouted OK to congratulate the 33-year-old China scientist. (Children of China, No.5, 1992)
Mr Schaefer squatted on the ground, watching China ants act so tragically, just like watching a world-class football match, constantly exclaiming, "Good! Ok! " (Contemporary 199 165438 +0)
"OK" in the first sentence above should be changed to "Congratulations"; The second sentence "OK" should be changed to "Oh" or "God".
There is even misuse beyond the China standard. For example:
The result of the selection is that Sheraton Xi Hotel written by Li Dapeng is the best. (Children of China, No.3, 199 1)
The Qiu Chang I know is a warm, busy and smiling young man. (Yangcheng Evening News1July 24, 994)
The "OK" in the first sentence above should be changed to the Chinese character "Good"; The word "line" in the second sentence should be changed to the Chinese character "dry".
Professor Zhou Haizhong's article About OK published in 1995 holds that this misuse of "OK" should be highly valued by linguists and even the whole society. He suggested that in Chinese newspapers and books, it is best to write the meaning of "can" in Chinese characters; If you like to use "OK" to express foreign flavor, you should be cautious, standardize correctly and avoid making a fool of yourself.
