- HELLOOO! A bit of a different video today!
I have gotten a few requests on making a video of me speaking Chinese before but to be quite honest I'm really shy about posting this video because my intonation is poor. Nonetheless, I really wanted to share this side of me to you guys. I figured that it might be semi interesting for you to hear me speak a different language, albeit a bit butchered, and to hear me talk about the "Chinese things / habits" in my life.
I completely embrace my Chinese-ness, as well as my Filipino-ness. I consider Philippines as my home despite my appearance. I'm proud to be both.
Be proud of your race / nationality. Be proud of who you are.
Love,
Nadine

I was born in the Philippines and learned to speak philippine- hokkien. I leave now in switzerland and when I hear you speaking chinese it sounds so familiar.
we stan a multilingual kween
Thank you for creating this video and giving exposure to Philippine Hokkien, "our people's language" (lan lang ue). I hope that you will be making more videos featuring this beautiful language and that others will be inspired by you to keep the mother tongue alive. To sia di!
This is cute. I was raised speaking hokkien cause my parents speak rly bad mandarin and grandparents dont speak any mandarin. Ur hokkien is actually legit. Vocab and use of phrases are just the same as what ppl in quanzhou would use(I say quanzhou here bc most Filipino Chinese trace their ancestry back to quanzhou and every place in hokkien has somewhat different accents and phrases) I can tell right away from ur accent that it’s influenced by Tagalog but that’s not a problem as long as you know how to speak hokkien! Great job keeping ur heritage alive!
She has a Zhangshou accent though.
so nice to here someone speak lang nang wei. very rare. My family is also chinese but my parents grew up in the philipines before moving to the states. You speak it well! also, i relate to a lot of the things you said haha
omg i was so surprised how well you can speak hokkien! I am a burmese hokkien too but i can barely understand most of it :-( but i could relate to so much of what you are speaking especially the medicine chicken soup!!! love this!! more of these please!
kyi si ya lee 🙏. My burmese friends in San Francisco also speak hokkien with Penang fashion. Just saying.
I believe my Grand Parents was in Burma before they moved to Bangladesh and then to Kolkata, India. So I guess our Hokkien will be very similar as I am also like you "but i can barely understand most of it :-(".
Wait. This is basically philippines hokkien. If i listen hard enough i can understand, but i'm more used to singapore hokkien. I'm not sure if its your pronunciation or what but i cant understand a word you're saying
Likewise with listening to singaporian hokkien! I think filipino style is softer? The Filipino language heavily influenced my accent. Also, taiwanese hokkien accent is also different for me!
Nadine Felice I cant put my finger on it. If i were to listen to this, i would say that you're pronouncing it wrong but its just different accents
Nadine Felice for 学校， we both say o teng, but your tones feel out for some reason
im indonesian chinese and i feel the same! i can understand singaporean/malaysian hokkien better i think, which is so interesting
same HAHAH
I have a Filipino-Chinese friend who is very dear to me. Not a drop of Chinese blood in me but I can fully relate to all the things you said. It’s funny coz watching you video kind of reminds me of the ample amount of hokkien I learned thru the years.
Hi, nadine! I was searching here in youtube of how to speak/learn hokkien, then I saw your video and clicked it... oh my.. I was in awe! Because you're a filipino-chinese and you're very fluent in speaking in hokkien. I am also a filipino-chinese but I didn't get the chance to learn how to speak in hokkien, but I learned how to speak in mandarin because I used to attend chinese school before but they only teach mandarin. So yeah, just sharing hehe. Oh! You're an amazing vlogger/youtuber! Keep it up!
I undertand every thing you said in hokkien.👍🏻❤🇵🇭❤🇹🇼
this is so cute!! i speak shanghainese at home and it's so nice to see someone speaking in another chinese dialect/talking about it
So interesting to see a different side of you, ate Nades. I'm amazed of how you manage to speak in different languages and you're so fluent pa.
ATE NADINE SPEAKING IN CHINESE IS THE BEST
Hi Nadine! Stumbled upon your channel while looking for Philippine Hokkien videos for my (linguist) friend's reference. It's nice to hear Hokkien spoken much like how I was taught haha; bo hien ah-ni chhim, ma-si bo ya man-tai chhao e hahaha. In my case the chhim-khoan e hokkien oe is reserved for the church, especially when I attended the early morning service with my late goa-kong and if I'm required to read the Bible in Hokkien hahaha.
A note tho, very discouraged na yung paggamit ng hoan-na to refer to local Filipinos. In its original meaning, hoan-na can either mean 'foreigner' or 'barbarian'. Even yung hoan-na po, very discriminatory yung dating; kang-lang is more accepted. In this time of dismantling and purging racist elements in both the Filipino and FilChi culture, we must do our part as the new generation of Chinoys :)
Anyway, nakakatuwa marinig kang nagsasalita haha. Kiong-hi on your channel!
i love this so much its so weird hearing someone else speak hokkien because none of my friends do and it's just my family :/
I think speaking in different languages is cool. Ate nades can you film basic Chinese words on your next video love yaah
my family's from taiwan and i never knew that taiwanese was so similar to hokkien! i was searching youtube to learn more taiwanese and i got really discouraged. ive been trying to improve my taiwanese but it was hard because i grew up in america and it's not really spoke in taiwan anymore, but when i learned it's almost exactly like hokkien (with a different accent) i got so excited!! i actually understand what you're saying! so thank you so much for this
AWWWWW THIS IS SO CUTE HEHEEHE good job on learning!!!! 😁😁😁
Actually taiwanese IS hokkien. I believe taiwan decided to call it the "taiwanese language"? But it's really the same language with a taiwanese accent lol.
Taiwan & Southern Fujian (Hokkien in Hokkien) SPEAK HOKKIEN, just like America, Canada & Australia SPEAK ENGLISH.
Speak chinese with Casey! HAHAH or teach Kali chinese language with Casey PLEASEEEE
It's good that you speak hokkien!! It's so important to embrace and preserve your culture when youre a minority in a different country
Love you're video! My family speak hokkein, and I grew up in Xiamen and Canada. My grandpa is chinese from Phillipines. 💞💞
rewatching this ate nades speaking in chinese cus she literally radiates positivity which i needed right now 😊
I RELATE SO MUCH TO THIS STUFF OMG. Though I am Fil-Chi, I don't speak an ounce of Chinese because I didn't enroll in Chinese school and I didn't take my Chinese tutorials seriously lol. But omg sobrang relate lalo na when it comes to like Ahma and Angkong and Guama and Guakong it's confusing sometimes 🙃 also Chinese medicine and in my family any skin condition can be treated with BL cream idk if it's a thing to every Chinoy out there but it's a thing in Binondo. Thanks for making this video Nades! Loved it!!
Born in the US, both parents born in Manila, I understood 85% of this without subtitles!
Philippine Hokkien is Coastal Quanzhou accent (泉海腔) based dialect because many part of Jinjiang is Coastal Quanzhou accent spoken area.
I was so excited by this video because I’m currently trying to reconnect with my roots and push myself to practice by speaking Chinese in videos too 😭💕 thanks for doing this because it re-inspired me!
YAY I'm glad!!!! :)
love this so much, achi nades!! i think hokkien is such a beautiful chinese dialect and it's sad that it's kind of dying na. "we do not bring tikoys around with us during chinese new year" spoke to me on a different level
Thank u for making this video!!! Im currently studying how to speak fookien and this video is very helpful. I watch it over and over. Hope you can make more! God bless 😊
this is so cool, I'm Taiwanese American and my family speaks Taiwanese Hokkien but the phillipines version is so different. yay for diasporic Hokkien ppl!!
Im also a chinese filipino i know how you feel girl!
It's so different that I see Nades in a different but unique way. Love your Chinese talk 😍😍😍 Getting to know you differently is so great 😊
Nadine!! Omg haha my dad just sent this to me randomly. He watched this video daw and I told him we knew each other 😂 enjoyed watching this!!
OMG!!!! Im so kilig AND SHY HAHAAHAHA
I am also a filipino-chinese but i can’t really feel the chinese part in me because my grandfather died early and he didn’t teach his children how to speak chinese nor their culture so my father dosen’t have anything to teach for us. My grandfather is from Macau and he speaks cantonese.
This is so fun to watch oh my god you're so cute and fluent (for me)!!!!!!!! More videos like this please all the luvvv
很棒！😂🥴
对啊
Are you feom binondo?
aaaaa it's so cool to see u speak chinese :") it's just amazing to see u speak so fluently 💗 u should make more vids where u speak chinese !!!!!
Just came across your video today. Certainly very interesting to hear Hokkien with Filipino inflection/accent and words thrown in the mix! Good to know that that Hokkien still thrives in your family! I'm a Chinese Malaysian who can barely function in my own dialects, Hakka and Hokkien which I partly blame for Mandarin language medium primary education in Malaysia.
This sounds very much like the dialect that my grandmother speaks, and she is not eastern asian. I think that older languages have this sound to them.
This video is so cute. I speak Hokkien but your accent is different than mine. I don’t know what my accent is though. I find all the people who speak Hokkien has a different accent than my family. I used to think those other Hokkien accents were weird but maybe our accent is weird. 🤣🤣🤣 But I can understand what you are saying for he most part because you do speak quite quickly.
well.. overall i understand what you say but it's difficult to listen.. i don't know that 's your accent or all filipino hokkien has this accent..
i am Indonesian Hokkien speaker.. Malaysian Hokkien and Singaporean Hokkien it's still near to Medan (A City In Indonesia) Hokkien..
that giggle at the start tho✨🐣💛
Ikaw talaga yung youtuber na ang mga contents kung sino ka talaga, ano ginagawa mo, ano hilig mo, etc. Parang ikaw yung youtuber na hindi nagchecheck kung madami ka bang viewers, likers or subscribers basta magawa mo lang ano yung gusto mo. I really really love you and your dedication 💕✨
AWWW HUHUH i love u!!! this is so sweet, kyla!!! stay true to yourself and enjoy what you do! :)
i thought mandarin HAHA
watched the whole vid & realised na fukien is very different from mandarin haha
yes!! spoke in fukien! it's what we use normally! I can't speak mandarin huhu
Its not a mandarin po...its a taiwanese language
@@mayrielanoranza5546 Taiwanese are minnan , it's not same , minnan and hokkien are different place but not far , that's why similar
my god I don't know Fukien hahaha I can only speak is Mandarin hahaha
Eyyy. This video is very very VERY educational. Omg i learned a LOT of things about chinese superstitions and its kind of interesting pala! Make more of these!
HEHEHE I really wanted to share some cool ish facts to you guys!!! Glad you enjoyed!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN REALLY HAHAA YOUR INTRO IS SO FREAKING CUTE ILY
HAHAHAA ENJOY WOOO
This is sooo funnn.. Chinese-Filipino din po akoo🤗 nakakarelate ako dun sa may magsasabi sayo bigla na bumalik dunn sa bansa mo(China) kahit I am in my country which is the Philippines.. it’s kinda awkward sometimes
Right?? HAHHAA youre just like “???”
Marami ganyan problem, pero 100 percent filipino kayo, hindi Kasi ginagawan ng ating government na dapat matanggap NG mga Tao Ang ganito na social problem NG ating mga kababayan, marami pa nga Yong iba galit SA fil-chi dahil SA issue tugkol SA west Phil sea, ano Naman kinalaman ng fil-chi dyan at na babash pa SA social media hahahahahaha, pero pinaka mabuti SA ating mga kababayang fil-chi mag aral NG Tagalog para mas matanggap SA social na relationship SA atin bansa
That was very entertaining! I’m also Chinese Filipino and I understood everything you said. To shia for making this video!
We loved to see your other side Ate Nades! I admire your personality because you are not ashamed of being YOU (with chinese blood). I love how you acknowledge yourself as a Chinese and how proud you are being a Chinese.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful side, I truly appreciated it. God bless ate Nades!
Aw thank u hehe God bless :)
Nadine Felice :)
i loved those little moments when you get flustered hahaha so cute! i also loved the code-switching lol ❤
How about an entire day of you speaking in Chinese? :pp
It's definitely easy , since I'm malaysian , Malaysian's Sarawak have more than 50 languages, also plenty of chinese school , I can read Chinese very very and very easily
@@mikemike1628 well, can you speak your national language fluently?
alfredz yes. We learn malay since small lol. Would love to see how malay dialect sounds
I can't help but smile while watching this vlog hahaha. It feels kind of different din (but in a good way) na Ate Nadine's speaking in Chinese hehehe
Wow Achi nades! This is cool! I can relate very much to your story! 😂😍
Philippines as well borrowed some Hokkien words commonly the susi or key
i love how genuine you are to us. We love you nadine! You are the cutest!
I am a Hokkien living in Kolkata, India. I was born in Kolkata and in our family we talk mainly in Hokkien but sometimes my Cantonese Mom would throw in some catchy phrases in Cantonese. I could understand here and there in your Fukkien but there are many subtle difference. Like for red we say Ah-ang. I think we are the only Hokkien living in India and my cousins also speak in Hokkien, so there is always someone talking in Hokkien around us. Loved your short "Presentation" and would like to hear Hokkien from you, Take care, - Ben
that medicine (black soup with young hen) sounds familiar... I think I've read it in a ancient Chinese novel
LOVING YOUR PERSONALITY GUURL I SUBSCRIBED❤
hello may I ask, how do you study fookien? is there any books or pdf you can share? Thanks!
It depends on which type of hokkien. And what fluency you are currently at. If you want to learn philippine hokkien and have some fluency, you can gain more vocabulary by using wiktionary. But you would need to learn 白話字Pe̍h-ōe-jī or 台囉Tâi-lô first so you would be able accurately read the tones according to your accent and be able to search up new words you come across or hear. There are some philippine hokkien books out there but its pretty misleading at times because of the romanization system they use, which is not consistent or systematic and gets really confusing especially since tones are not being marked down.
@@__-uy7nh wow, thank you! my father is pure chinese so I'm required to learn hokkien to be able to communicate with my family.
@@tsukimelody @jamsdiary5055 by the way, you might get confused when you see taiwanese hokkien tone charts out there. that is because it is wildly different from our accent in general in the philippines. I posted a tone chart with example words and explanations in the PhilippineHokkien Redit.
just saw this video when i searched up phillipine hokkien. i like hearing u talk, so i will subscribe. im also going to try to learn hokkien too, so this will be motivational :)!!
YOU'RE SO CUTE! THIS IS AMAZING AHHH
i love this vid and i can relate to all that you said, except that i suck at speaking hokkien (am i a disgrace now lol) mabuhay mga Fil-Chi! haha
Yay for new vid!! ♡ God bless you ate ate Nadine and luv u! ♡
I LOVEEE THIS LANGUAGE SOOO MUCH 😭💕
YOU ARE SO CUTE ATE NADES!!❤

hi atchi nadine 💗 i'm half chinese but i can't speak fokkien i was wondering if you can make a video about teaching us some phrases !! toshiaaaa 💗💗
Wow! Bet ko tong video na to ate Nadine!💕💕💕
I'm Filipino Chinese too but I study in China right now. I speak no fookien at all *shame on me* but I'm fluent in Mandarin and *we look crazy a like* (in my opinion) first time actually seeing someone who looks(kinda) like me 😂 so happy to discover your channel! Planning to make mine to when I go back to China on Sept
You were on my recommended section and I was shocked that you're actually Chinese - Filipino! New subbie here!!
I dont know if this applies to you but some families with chinese blood encourage their offspring to marry someone who also has chinese blood this applies to most girls in the family this explians my mom and dad having chinese ancestry btw dad side is: Tiu aka Zhang and mom side is: Yap aka Ye
2:04 true story. at 6y.o my parents was like very embarrassed bcs i can't speak hokkian and all i know is indonesian but after spartan training for 3 month i finally understand hokkien....
Awh you’re soooo goood at speaking Chinese🌻💛
What’s the background music ?
i wonder why i cant find any old hokkien angkongs, amas, guakongs, and guamas that have videos of themselves speaking hokkien since theyre pretty much the people who use it 90% of the time
Hi! Had fun watching this video :)) I also took the chinese medicine when I was younger haha to more video like this! :)
i could listen to ate nades speaking in chinese all day
Haha.. Halos d ko na po tinitignan ung subtitle. Just watching you and listen on how you speak chinese.. Yieee so cute! 😊😊

Nakaka entertain talaga ang Hokkien mo, di ko na nga lang binabasa ang subtitles kasi nakaka amaze talaga pag pinaparining mo lang :)
the gloria maris thing is legit tho,, like we always celebrate or have family gatherings there,,, parang wala na silang ibang restaurant na alam hahaha

♡♡♡ You are so adorbs ate nadine!!
AHHH ATE NADES I LOVE U 😍❤️
30 years ago,I had a Philippine tour. Once an old lady spoke english to me in a casino.
because my english is very poor, I can't understand.
She said "from Taipei ?"
I said "yes"
Then she spoke hokkien to me .
Amazing! we can communicate each other in hokkien.
yes, its mostly the vocabulary and pronunciation that just differs but we have a lot of common terms and pronunciations too
so this is a filipino-hokkien understood about 75%. it amaze me so much that there is a hokkien speaker in philippine. greeting from indonesian-hokkien speaker here. l
Why do I find you so entertaining? I really like watching your vlogs. 😝
HOW DO YOU SPEAK IN HOKKIEN?? MY FAMILY SPEAKS IN IT, I CAN UNDERSTAND AND IM TRYING TO SPEAK IT AS WELL BUT ITS HARD
WOW, nice to know that there are Hokkien speaking Pinoy with a YT Channel. Hope I can connect with you more. Want to practice my Hokkien.
