4 also sounds like "Death" in Chinese, and many buildings with Chinese owners back in my home country tend to skip the 4th floor altogether, or replace it with '3A'. Funnily enough, when I went to China to study I find many buildings using the 4th floor as usual, so there is that.

[@itshry]

after the cultural revolution, all taboos were prohibited from being practiced. so the 4th floor in mainland China is still commonly found, especially government buildings. while in HK and Taiwan, they still consider the 4th floor taboo because it sounds similar to "death".

Most buildings have the 4th floor properly marked. However, the scene like the one in the video is usually marked like that in hospitals just in case. Leaving patients alone on the 'fourth floor', which actually means 'death', does not seem very pleasant from the point of view of doctors.

In Taiwan, “four” also sounds similar to “death” in Mandarin, which is a bad omen so in my apartment, the number 4 elevator button is also omitted. Thus we don’t actually have a fourth floor lol. The elevator button goes up to 27, but the apartment only has 26 floors, excluding the basement. Death: 死/sî Four: 四/sì Same pronunciation but different intonation.

I live in Hong Kong and I see this a lot. 四 (four) is pronounced si (with the up accent) which is similar to 死 (death) pronounced si (with the up down accent). But here, we either have the fourth floor or completely skip it like 1st 2nd 3rd and thrn directly 5th. Sometimes they even erase any floors with the number 4 in it like 47, 24 etc. One funny thing I saw once is that this building had the 4th floor, but every floor ending in 4 was skipped. Even the floors that started with 4 were not erased. Funny. Edit: four is si with the down accent not up sorry

Some building in Indonesia skip naming 4th and 13th floor too to attract wider tenant's ethnicity/nationality. Usually the 4th floor is named with other number/letters, like 3A or M. Some building just skip numbering 4 and 13 altogether, so the 5th floor will be 4 level high from the ground. I've never seen F floor tho 😂

[@blinkarmy2220]

In japanese, chinese and korean 4 means death so even in my apartment they dont have any floor with 4, and also theres no 13th floor either. There are 55th floor in my apartment but the 40-49 are missing lol. And sometimes yes we change 4th floor to 3A and 13th floor to 12A. Floors with number 4 and 13th floor just dont sell well so developers avoid them altogether. Though... I lived on 4th floor in taipei so 😂

[@barbiebarbie1813]

"四 4 " does not mean death in China. It is the pronunciation of Chinese;. In Chinese Feng Shui 風水, the pronunciation is similar, so it became not bad. But the Japanese and Koreans copied China' s behavior indiscriminately. They thought this "4" was related to "death". This is a pure plagiarism issue.

I learned when learning Mandarin about the number 4. Apparently houses with that number cost less because it means "death"

[@celline.t]

Not in my country. Most of my family and relatives owned apartments and houses have number 4, and they all cost at least 250,000$/per apartment. I myself was born on 4th April and my life is just fine, nothing drama happened. Meanwhile my friend who was born in lucky days like 8th August has troubled life

@@FebruaryHas30Days yes, bcoz “4” has same pronunciation as “death” in mandarin which is “si”. Malaysian Chinese think that is bad so most of time you seldom see lvl 4 in most of the elevators in Malaysia, they’re replaced by lvl 3A instead 😂
