no, 绑 bang means bind in Chinese, 定 ding means fix
-----------------------------------

Editor: Sure, but the question is: were these two characters chosen for their sound as well as their meaning?
In other words, is 綁定 a phono-semantic matching with "binding"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phono-semantic_matching

你知道嗎?這些中文詞是外語音譯!

漢語中有很多耳熟能詳的詞彙,其實是來自於外語的音譯,由於用得時間長了,並且當初在音譯的時候兼顧了意譯,使其看起來很像漢語自己的詞彙。只有學外語的人,稍加留心,才能反應過來——原來這詞不是漢語自有的,而是音譯過來的!

[...]

啥???「綁定」不是中文自有的??不就是把兩個東西綁在一起,形成固定關聯麼?中文的「綁」跟這個意思多貼合啊?

「綁」這個字以及這個意思當然漢語裡本來就有,但把「綁定」倆字放一起其實並不太符合漢語的原有習慣,而是來自於英文 binding ,表示結合在一起。

True.

> Nazi is also a loanword in English
True.

> and every other language,
Maybe so.

> makes no sense to call it that.
Sorry, you lost me at this point.
Can't see how you get to that conclusion.

It's a rather minor issue. We could call Nàcuì a loanword, or not.
Plenty of Chinese dictionaries do label it 音译, and among bilingual dictionaries, Grand Ricci labels it (transcr. phon.) – transcription phonétique – and ABC labels it 〈loan〉, for example.

Chinese forces Republican and Communist united to fight Japan, this is an extremely inappropriate place to bring in party politics
------------------------------------------

Editor:
1) It wasn't Republican forces; it was Communist forces.
"The Battle of Pingxingguan (平型关战役), commonly called the Great Victory of Pingxingguan in Mainland China, was an engagement fought on September 25, 1937, at the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War, between the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China and the Imperial Japanese Army."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Pingxingguan

2) When the term 平型关大捷 is used, it's typically in the context of glorifying the success of the Eighth Route Army specifically, not Chinese forces in general.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/chinesepostersnet/29884388866/
https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%B9%B3%E5%9E%8B%E5%85%B3%E5%A4%A7%E6%8D%B7/68644

That's why it's appropriate to mention "Communist forces" in our definition.

Do you have some evidence for that?

correction
---------------------------

Editor: Is that just your assumption? Or do you have some evidence?

1)
Etymology of 可愛い
/kawajui/ → /kawaiː/ (Shift in pronunciation from "kawayui")
The kanji spelling 可愛い is an example of ateji (当て字) and jukujikun (熟字訓), and uses an irregular reading of 愛. The phonological resemblance to Chinese 可愛 is coincidental.
Source: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%8F%AF%E6%84%9B%E3%81%84

That's corroborated by スーパー大辞林 3.0 dictionary:
かわい・い【可愛い】
「かわゆい」の転。<----------- i.e. a shift in pronunciation from "kawayui", not a loanword from Chinese 可爱.

2) 卡哇伊,日文かわいい的音译词,拼音是kǎ wa yī,也做“可爱い”,“カワイイ”。

Editor:
Your proposal is not neutral because if you say an island is "between China and Okinawa", that implies that the islands are not part of either China or Okinawa. This would potentially be offensive to China because they claim sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.

You could say "between mainland China and Okinawa" but it's geographically more precise to say "between Taiwan and Okinawa".

original research, not necessarily true
---------------------------------

Editor: On the one hand, we have half a dozen or so dictionaries that say it's a loanword from Sanskrit यक्ष (yakṣa).
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B7

e.g. https://www.moedict.tw/%E5%A4%9C%E5%8F%89

On the other hand, we have an anonymous contributor's assurance that they have done some original research that casts doubt on that notion, but we have no details of that research.

Well, I'm going to stick with 梵語yakṣa的音譯 for now.

more neutral, gives more important information
-----------------------------------

Editor:
1. The proposed definition raises a question in the reader's mind: What was he rehabilitated for? Co-founding the CCP?
2. What's the point of mentioning he was a "leading communist" if the definition states that he co-founded the Communist Party?

not loanword, calque
-------------------------------

Editor: I think it's worth having an etymological note, but it's not a calque because when 奶昔 was coined, 昔 was used on the basis of its pronunciation rather than its meaning.
