Answers:

1. Good Luck

3. Panda
4. Prosperity and health

[karter]

The answer for the 4th one is debatable so I would recommend others to wait for confirmation or something.

[Phil]

People in the room were saying the same thing for No. 4! It better be right or I'm after getting three pointless badges!

Gung Hey (Hay, Hei) Fat Choy; "roughly translated as, "Congratulations and be prosperous, now give me a red envelope, fifty cents is too little, don't want a dollar either"

[Phil]

Gung Hey (Hay, Hei) Fat Choy; "roughly translated as, "Congratulations and be prosperous, now give me a red envelope, fifty cents is too little, don't want a dollar either"

So that's the answer?

[Mr-Trainor]

Oh I just put in these answers without checking the questions :P. What is the question for the last one?

[e5]

Yes, basically, though thats not the exact answer availabe. But it's about prosperity and health.

So that's the answer?

What's your source for this, as many sites suggest that it means "Best wishes and Congratulations. Have a prosperous and good year." If you even search 'happy new year in chinese' in google many websites show that phrase

[e5]

That basically means the same thing, I said roughly translated. I believe theres a chinese song about it or something. I forgot where I found it, i'll have another look.

Edit; Couldn't find my old source, but again:


Gung Hei is equivalent to Congratulations or Wishing you happiness, and Fat Choi, means Sudden and huge increase on your property. So Gung Hei Fat Choy 恭喜发财 at best translation or the nearest interpretation into English would be: Wishing you Great Happiness and Prosperity!
On the same page, however, people are saying it means Happy new year. :S

It does almost seem a trick question/multiple answer question as another source I found says
Gung Hay Fat Choy means "Best wishes and Congratulations. Have a prosperous and good year."
Which suggests it means have a good (new year) but may it also be prosperous AND also Best wishes. Unfortunately, the answers are 3 seperate ones. You guys can try either, but I think it's the last one.

?? You do realise that the first option seems more relevant if we look at the definition i just posted, right?

[e5]

Yes, perhaps, although that was just one quote you found, i've now backed mine up twice, although i unintentionally contradict myself, as theres 2 possible answers, although I think the 4th choice is still the correct answer. There my answers anyway, peopl can choose to follow them or select their own.

[Mr-Trainor]

You're both arguing over the wrong options! Obviously it's the third option of 'You are a little fat, lose some weight!' :P.

^Wonder who came up with the obviously-incorrect options in these polls! Anyway, it seems that it could be either of those two depending on how you interpret it, so maybe Habbo will accept either options :D?

[e5]

I think maybe they did this as it's the last one.

[mlp16]

My Chinese friend said it means 'Happy Chinese new year' however i put Prosper :( Before i got my reply :(

[Faceless]

Searched up on the fourth question and it always mentioned 'wishing', so i will go with it

[karter]

The websites however talk about prosperity and wealth as the definition not prosperity and health
