I love that according to House, the things he can say in Mandarin include: - The numbers 1 to 10 - “Where is the bathroom?” - “Congratulations, you are a grandma” You know, just the essentials.
Translation House : "Congrats for being a grandma" Older lady : "(surprised pikachu face) what's he talking about? Are you pregnant" Girl : "no no no I'm not pregnant" Older lady : "then why did he just congratulated me being a grandma?, ahh look you're even blushing!"
@@KingFeraligator first scene: mom: tell him that it’s hard for me to breathe (having a cold obviously) and the medicine I have taken is not working (probably the daughter didn’t give her proper medicine and used this chance to ask birth control med. Second scene Mom: tell him the medicine he gave is making things worse. Mom: what is he talking about? Daughter: he said he gave you the wrong medicine (that’s an immediate red alert so House stop playing and fight back)
@Asiatic Globalism yeah, well, that's because Chinese schools make it compulsory for students to converse in Mandarin Chinese, not their own dialects like Cantonese, Hokkien, etc
You can tell his mouth doesn’t match up with the American accent. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it lol. Certain words his mouth moves like a British accent eventhough he’s speaking with an American accent.
Ni Hauo Ma. Thanks for the video. My daughter took Chinese in School and went to China for a visit. She gave me her Learn Chinese for English Speakers book.

That sentence sounds like something you would learn in year 1 Mandarin.
That is what makes the joke so clever, and plays to the smugness of Dr. House.
I like how he only turned on her when she lied about him. He was okay with keeping a secret till then. Lesson don’t mess with House
"Okay, I'm gonna' leave you two alone now. Sure you've got a lot to talk about."
Savage!
Watched this and never realized how impressive this was until I read that title
His eyes are looking soooo bluuuu in this 😍

Thank you! I appreciate that the dialogue was still in-character even though a lot of people wouldn't have understood it to split hairs.
Thank you!!
Tough ask but can you translate the rest of the scene as well?

"nali nali"
Ok, as someone who has learned a bit of Mandarin, that cracked me up.
When i watches that I died
The writers are geniuses

Fucking impressive...one of the hardest languages out there. Even most Chinese people can't speak it

How would you know?
