三人行，必有我师(焉)

(In Japanese--I haven't checked on the Chinese version yet--birds are counted with 一羽、二羽, which makes sense because they have wings...except so are rabbits.)

This is strangely adorable! I'm pretty sure birds and rabbits are both just 只 in Chinese (and I just looked up 羽 and don't see any mention of it as a classifier), but the rabbit thing feels a bit like English "flock" referring to both birds and sheep, to me -- like it creates some mysterious sense of correlation. Rabbits, birds, sheep... they're all very fluffy???

On a random note re: classifiers, a couple of years ago my language partner showed me a Hong Kong game show where one of the games that came up regularly was classifier-related. The contestants would sit in a row and clap in time, and the first person would have to say a number and some kind of noun (skipping over the classifier), pronouncing each syllable in time with the clapping. The next person had to immediately repeat the same number and noun but with the correct classifier, keeping in time with the next few claps. So a bit like if in English, the first person in the game clapped out "Se·ven·crows," and the next person had to continue clapping and say "Se·ven·mur·ders·of·crows."

I asked my language partner why this game wasn't too easy, since surely most people know all the classifiers? Though of course the contestants were purposely picking rarer words to try to trip each other up, and apart from thinking of the right word and saying it quickly, they also had to remember the number. Anyway, my language partner's answer was, "It's hard enough that people get mixed up, but easy enough that it sounds really funny when they do."

My Chinese wasn't really good enough to follow along with the game much at the time, but it was amusing to watch people cracking up when someone picked the wrong measure word, and I did find it encouraging to know that thinking of the right classifier in a hurry can be challenging even for native speakers!
