*enters the other 3 zones* 昔(sik7) meaning: old, usually used in documentaries, still used today 錫(sik8) meaning: tin, as in element 蝕(sik9) meaning: rotten/damaged (still used, for example: 月蝕 means lunar eclipse)
If your an English speaker learning and the tones are confusing…. Would pll know from context or would they still be confused about what your trying to say?
My pronunciation isn’t off! Maybe just a little nervous in front of the camera but not off! People do understand from context in the sentence, just like how we don’t mix up “sun” and “son” in English!
@@SubtleCantoneseLearning thank you I just wanted I would like to learn….its my boyfriends 1st language….but it’s definitely hard for English speakers to hear the tone difference.
On the contrary, I bet you are not! It does takes a while to train your ear and your voice but once you got the hang of it, its all just smooth sailing
Wow now I’m even more confused
Mandarin is so much easier 😭

They all sound the same to me
Great video, thanks. I wonder how many Cantonese tones have a counterpart in Vietnamese. I don't speak either, by the way.
Thank you! Vietnamese has slightly more tone variety than Cantonese but I’m intrigued too! Gonna look this up and ask my Vietnamese friends now👀

Sounds like Vietnamese
Really) I'm just studying southern Vietnamese. I can confirm that
It does! Both languages have a lot of overlapping vocabulary too!
Tone 2 and 5;;; 1 and 3 seems the same.
But i alwYs say same tone😅

its so difficult to tell them apart
I think 5 and 6 is the trickiest for beginners but a tip I always tell my student is to think of them as opposites!
OMG, more tones than Mandarin?
Yuppp! But once you get the hang of it, picking up the rest of the language is very easy!
Sorry but 6 c
What means si?
詩 poetry
史 history
試 try
時 time
市 market
是 to be
Can mean much more than that. Depends on what character is used, beyond what is shown in the video
It means shit
@@Ohmygawdddde which tone? 😉
@@6Uncles Absolutely!
As a Chinese mainlander, this video is just straight up confusing
Learning takes time! Watch my videos on loop 😉
This is the most confusing video I’ve watched about Cantonese tones 😅 You didn’t pronounce them correctly enough…
Shh.. rewatch all my RUclips shorts on repeat and like everything ok 🔁❤️ It will make sense soon
