I just want to know, are there more people who like Japanese Go(go is from Japanese word) or Chinese Wei qi (weiqi is from Chinese word). Thanks |

I think most Westerners learn the word "go" first because go was introduced to the West via Japan. It is the word I always use to talk about my hobby unless the person I'm talking to is Chinese or Korean. I guess I'd prefer a word other than "go" because it's such a common English word already. If I had my druthers, I'd just call it "the surrounding game," which I believe is the literal translation of Weiqi. But speaking of preferences, we really shouldn't leave out the Korean "Baduk" which has the added attraction of being somewhat onomatopoeic (sounds like a comic version of a stone being played). |

I think there's a fairly strong argument to be made that Go is as English as tycoon or tea, since Igo is what the Japanese call the game. |

Actually they use both igo and go. Personally I dislike go for the same reason as Daal, it's already a common English word. Out of weiqi and baduk I'd say I like weiqi better, but that's just the English pronunciation of the word since I don't know how natives would say them. |

Since go is already an English word, maybe Weiqi is really a good name for the game. But in my country, still most people call it go, I guess it is because go was first introduced to EU by Japanese players. Plus, many people ,including me , are fans of Japanese go. I assume that is also one important why the name go is popular. |

I prefer weiqi (way-chee) since it's more faithful to what Go essentially is, a game of encirclement. Encirclement chess, if you will. Or, Instead of just "go" we could go with "igo", the original Japanese term. Of course it sounds just like "ego", but is less apt to be confusing IMO. |

I'm not sure what the OP is asking for. Is he asking for the English word usage? the professional world? or the playing syles and maybe something else? For the word indicating this game, I like baduk because that's what I'm used to call the game, but I prefer saying "Go" when English for that most English speakers say so. Btw, baduk is pronounced "bah-dook /ba duk/" not "bad-uck" or "bay-duck". For the professional go world, it depends a lot on what player I like. Recently, I'm interested in Iyama Yuuta, which makes me look more of Japanese professional games. |

Maybe Weiqi is a good word to name it. My brit cousin sometimes makes fun of the name baduk, it sounds like bad duck like you quoted. |

Weird thread. I wonder if they ask a similar question on the pasta boards? |

Oh yes, I think watching go in Japan could be a nicer visual experience. But also in China/Korea/Others they have special events at unique locations, have ceremonies, and sometimes dress in traditional clothing. Also, when I am studying a past game record, I can only see the moves on the board -- and there are thoughtful and artful games all around the world. Who is your favorite player? Have you studied the ancient go masters? |

Just personal taste!! |

But does pasta also mean something else in English, I would as my British cousin about that. However, go is already an English word now. It feels weird to say , hey man, let us go to paly go. |

Even the characters used to write the words are variants of one another. I don't know what the Korean Hanja are for baduk, probably the same again. |

I'm bracing for awesomeness. The OP just got chased out of the Go forum on Baidu Tieba for profanity. |

There are sure a lot of Chinese people in this world, so I'd probably say that there are more people who would call the game weiqi. |
