Nothingness

I was telling Randy over dinner tonight (which I actually made!) about some of the unusual characteristics of Dingdonghua like I mentioned below, particularly the multitude of words for "nothing." Like "jin jou."
"Dingdong also means 'nothing,'" Myles piped up.
A language whose whole basis is nothing.
My three-year-old makes my head hurt.

I blame LC. She told me she was reading Sheep in a Jeep to him. I suspect instead it was Sartre.
