The more I read about the Cantonese, the more I realise how little I know! (Random fun fact I just found out: We call hot pot 打邊爐, like hitting the stove, because when we stick our chopsticks in and move it around, it's like we're beating the stove😱)There’s wayyyyy to many things that I wish I could cover in this video, but we'd love to hear from you! What's something you wish people know about Cantonese? 🤔
what a beautiful video! i really love how direct and "aggressive" cantonese sounds because it reminds me of my own accent. i watch a lot of hong kong movies and the language is just beautiful to me because it's abrasive. i hope everyone can keep cantonese alive!
Thank you so much for this video! As a Hongkonger, I am super happy that I finally can find a video to show my CBC kids! They would love to see this and understand anything about Cantonese! They are learning Cantonese not Mandarin! Thanks for explaining why we want to keep this Cantonese as you said that it just feels so good whenever we heard someone speaking Cantonese here! "lei ho ging ar!"
Interesting video👍👍👍 Your animation and writings are cute. We do take Cantonese for granted. I'd think more of it when I speak now. Perseve and pass it on.
I accidentally stumbled on your channel because I wanted to learn more about Mirror and I LOVE these videos of yours about Hong Kong and Cantonese. I was born and raised in the States but would visit family once every year growing up. My Cantonese isn't as good as it used to be and I haven't visited HK in awhile now. Thank you for making these videos because through them, I feel like I'm reliving my childhood and learning so much about my culture :)
Absolutely beautiful, I share the same thoughts as you! Cantonese is an identity and its what brings us together, I always get all warm and fuzzy when I do get to speak it😄
Thank you for this video! I totally agree with you. I feel of sense of home and even safety when I hear Cantonese being spoken. Doing my best to keep improving my Cantonese!
Really appreciate this video. Excellent work! a good reminder on why it's so important and valuable to hold on to Cantonese. I too, wish they had the actors in Shang-chi speak Canto. Especially when they were in Macau!!!!
I absolutely love learning about this culture! I can feel your passion and the depth of your knowledge. Keep making these heartfelt, educational videos :)
loving your channel, learning a lot :) Huge fan of Shaolin Soccer and all Stephen Chow films, Hong Kong films are so special! I wish I spoke Cantonese to really appreciate the nuances
多謝 for making these videos about Hong Kong and Cantonese culture, it means so much to reconnect with my heritage as a second-generation Chinese-Canadian through your videos!!
I love this! Cantonese is so important to me even though I barely get any chances to speak it these days, but I think it is a highly versatile language and I hope people recognise how much culture and wisdom it carries. Thank you for making a stand for Cantonese!
Ahhhhh this is so awesome, thank you for putting this together! I would LOVE to see more videos like this where you talk about Cantonese expressions and phrases. As someone who is learning Cantonese, this was really fun and insightful to watch!
Hi, I follow weekly Cantonese classes and just love it ! Could you add jyutping subtitles to your videos? It would help My Cantonese :-) Love you video's and the love for Cantonese. Keep up the great work.
Great question!:) From what I've gathered, most people think CantoneseClass101 is the most comprehensive starting point for beginners! Once you have the basics covered, I would suggest listening to Canto-music and watching canto reality tv shows. It's the best way to be exposed to the more colloquial ways of speaking:)
great question...I can't find an explanation of how this expression came to be😅 but it's funny because that gives us another excuse to talk back to our elders, because it doesn't really make sense for us to 食米 (eat uncooked rice) haha
Cantonese is way more precise and expressive to describe things, much more accurate than Mandarin. It's a shame that Cantonese is diminishing purely because the dominant esoteric factions in communist china are mostly by the northern barbarians who stole the title and claim themselves as Chinese. Very wrong! Hope the world will know what Cantonese is all about internal of ethnicity, culture band heritage and language in all sort of ways and forms.

6:44 I see Grace (Guresu)
Missing home. Jurgen must be from GSIS!
how your English is so good?
Do you have any good resources to learn cantonese for people interested in learning it?
Great question!:)

@@dstoryco do you know of any good online places to watch canotnese shows with cantonese subtitles (like written how its spoken)
Cantonese is a popular language in Chinese community, second only to Mandarin.
Why does the Cantonese in the idiom says 食米 whereas Mandarin 吃饭? Shouldn't the Cantonese be 食饭?
great question...I can't find an explanation of how this expression came to be😅 but it's funny because that gives us another excuse to talk back to our elders, because it doesn't really make sense for us to 食米 (eat uncooked rice) haha
Save Cantonese!

HK is gone. CCP kind of destroyed it. Plus we speak english. -_-' at least 60% of the language and culture lives on vietnam.
