    Hello Brittany, I love your Cantonese speaking programs!
    I'm a Hongkongese and can use Cantonese to write poems.
    Your Cantonese is 95% perfect and sounds like singing👍! No body on earth can speak 100% Cantonese because it's such a beautiful; flexible and relaxing language☀️! There are many ways to express yourself in Cantonese and Cantonese people can still understand you. Just feel free to say it out, no real Cantonese speakers will laugh at you😊.
    Tell your mom she's out; there's no such thing as lazy sound anymore in Cantonese! Yes, Cantonese is changing for better every day.
    The word "你" pronounces using either "n" or "l" is 100% alright. "Lazy sound" is only a style of Cantonese speaking and it shows your personality🥳🎉🎶!
    Cantonese is one of the most beautiful language on earth; it sounds like singing🎶! If you could use Cantonese to read ancient Chinese poems or literature and you would know what I meant.
    Happy Cantonese👍👍👍

    100% using all of your content to improve my Canto. Loved how you used words you knew to figure out words you didn't know. You're such a blessing to the Cantonese community, Brittany!

    Good to show that Canto isn't all slang. It can be formal and poetic too. Good idea to level up according to HSK grades. It is a reminder how Canto embodies the full modern standard Chinese vocab. It's tonality also gives it an expressive quality when reading poetic, especially Song/Tang era Classical Chinese, which Cantonese (while still shifted) is the only modern Chinese variety that has a 1 to 1 mapping of the Middle Chinese tones. If learners get stuck on colloquial Cantonese, I feel this is only scratching the surface :)

    LoL, as someone who grown up in Germany, my father used to watch Hongkong movies until 1986. After he passed away in the same year, I didn't got anything related to Cantonese. My Mom is Vietnamese. Now having Kids (Mixraces) my own, and German is my main language, I am trying to keep German with them. I remember my father want to send me to a Chinese some in Swiss, close to the German border. But didn't want it, what I am very regret retrospective.

    From an older , Boomer age jook sing perspective, you did well. I knew like 2 or three words that may have stumped you, and you knew like 7 that I had trouble with. I'm in need of improvement and refreshing. I'll get there eventually.

    Very fun!!! Japanese can read about 90% of those words!!! Of course the pronunciation is very different though.

  • @heysiri8748

    It's actually crazy to me that extremely basic words like 吃 and 力could be put together to equal a word that I didn't recognize.

  • @uItimatewarrior

    Oooo do more of these types of videos. I think a lack of vocab is an issue with a lot of CBC , ABC

  • @peaceloveviv
    @peaceloveviv 2 года назад +2

    This is great - so much fun finding new words I didn't know! Does anyone know if there is a canto test like this online which can test you roughly by HSK levels and can read the characters out to you? :D

  • @dazzlette
    @dazzlette 2 года назад +1

    I can read and speak Mandarin but am only starting to learn Cantonese. If you know Mandarin, I think you would basically be able get nearly all of these words. This gives me hope that I can actually learn Cantonese!

    It's more common to write 經常 (going Seung), but say '成日’ (seng yut). I'd give that one to you!

    Not a bad job, just a slight mistake i picked up on, confusion between 希望 hope and 期望 expect/expectation. Words that surpise me are words that are not used in everyday conversations so i dont have that chance of coming across them

    I think 經常 means often, not "ever so often" which means less frequently than "often".

    I feel like 發明 can also mean “discover”, because some things cannot be "invented."

    • @callistoscali4344
      @callistoscali4344 2 года назад +2

      Discover is 發現.

    • @deanlittle9705
      @deanlittle9705 2 года назад

      Just from a simple Baidu search as an example:
      牛顿是怎样发明万有引力的
      牛顿怎样发明了地心引力
      牛顿的地球万有引力定律是怎么发明的
      牛顿万有引力是在什么时候发明的
      I would totally translate all of these as: "How did Newton discover gravity?", as "invented" would sound like 創造 rather than 發現.

    • @callistoscali4344
      @callistoscali4344 2 года назад +1

      @@deanlittle9705 I think some of them are not used correctly. Also, if you say Newton invented the theory of gravity, that would be correct. There is a difference between discover and invented.

    It’s interesting to see what kinds of gaps you have in your vocabulary 🧐 your level doesn’t neatly line up with HSK levels. You don’t speak like a native speaker or an advanced adult learner either
