In Chinese internet slang, 1314 represents "forever."
1314 is a homophone derived from its pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese (pinyin: yīsānyīsì). It sounds similar to 一生一世 (pinyin: yīshēng yīshì), which translates to "one lifetime, throughout one's life," or simply, "forever." As a result, 1314 is often used in romantic contexts, especially online, to express lasting love or commitment.
Therefore, you'll often see it used in conjunction with phrases expressing affection, such as:
- "I love you 1314" - signifying "I will love you forever."
- Used similarly to "4ever" in English texting or online communication.
This slang usage is specific to Chinese internet culture and understanding the phonetic connection is key to interpreting its meaning.
