Well, I have a pretty simple question really… The other day I said “ÿ���ĸ綼��֪��”, and while
I of course was being understood, I wonder if I should have omitten the “��”, since “ÿ��” isn’t
really plural, like “����” for example?

Sounds ok with ‘dou’ to me. It just gives it a bit more emphasis.

ok with dou.

Dou is ok. But what do you mean by ÿ���ĸ�? The sentence doesn’t make sense to me. If you mean
“everyone’s elder brother” then I think it should be ÿ���˵ĸ��. Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Well actually I read about the word �ĸ� in this forum
http://www.roddyflagg.34sp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42 , so I used it and it worked…

So it appears it is a term used in mainland meaning “taxi driver”. I have never heard of it. We in
Hong Kong, and I suppose in Taiwan too, call the taxi driver ˾�C (siji). And when I am in
Mainland, I call them ���� (shifu).
Glad to learn a new term.
Quest -
ÿ��(each and every) is plural in chinese. ����was used correctly.
