This is actually a pretty cool linguistic comparison! It’s so weird hearing inflections I recognize from the languages being mapped onto my own but really cool at the same time! Nice work!
I’m not sure if it’s the same or not in Japanese, but in Korean grammar, verbs are always at the end of the sentence, so that’s why they always put more emphasis and drama on the last word of their sentences. Their pattern of inflection always confused me until I learned that 😂
Yes, both Korean and Japanese are Subject-Object-Verb. In fact, syntax is the main reason why many people want to put Korean and Japanese in the same sprachbund ('linguistic area').
As an English person who watched Bleach all the way through once, has never been to the US, Japan or Korea, I found this very amusing whilst having my morning tea and crumpets. Pip pip.
Koreans: problem drinkers, oppressed by the island nation right next to them. Irish: Problem drinkers, oppressed by the island nation right next to them.
This short appeared on my feed. I just want to say that despite the comedy it's actually a really intelligent video! Not many ppl know or think about the intonations like that so it's very cool to see the comparison!! Thanks for sharing! Also just my preference but I think switching the cola and McDonald's skits will give that extra punch line to your video, simply due to the way that you delivered your lines. All the best!🎉
indeed, not to say that being able to change so fluidly between them requires a lot of knowledge of all three languages. entonation makes up a bigger portion of an accent than pronunciation does, and it's something no grammar book or course will teach you!
Korean intonation is SO different from my native language (portuguese) and english, that's why I love k-dramas, they're always dramatic even when they don't want to because of the intonation 😂
I have some friends from Korea, and when they're talking to like their mom on the phone, it's really interesting to hear them talking softly and then certain words they'll be talking loud for no reason.
This is such an important part of speaking a language, and yet I’ve never heard it mentioned in a language class. You’re not speaking the language correctly until you have the intonation and you’re acting and even making faces a certain way.
This shows that it’s all sounds and movements and a dance to speak a language - not just words and it also shows we can dance the way we like and we will be understood
Yes! I see my Taiwanese SIL talk and I see the way her mouth moves as she translates for her mom, and I’m like “how are you forming words?! - no offense I’m just in awe, like they way they move their mouth is so different than when speaking English
The lyricism of spoken Japanese displays emotions so expressively. As someone who has a hard time reading people, I appreciate that quality. You can hear clearly in your English examples that the language's neutral tone is borderline sarcastic in nature if you think to apply that context to it, and even as a native English speaker, I feel this way often about the way many people speak in everyday life.
@@samwisegamgee1243 This. Japanese is a very high-context language - they drop the pronouns half the time so if you translate what they're saying, you'll find somewhat vague sentences that only make sense when you take into consideration the conversation itself, who is talking to whom and their relationship.
Ok, now you'll have to please do the Japanese and Korean versions of Dumbledore's infamously "calm" delivery of the line: "Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?". 🙏
Ok but this is something I’ve been thinking about!!! I have a friend who speaks Bengali at home and I’ve met several other Bengali speakers of the same gender and age range, and they all have a very specific melodic cadence when speaking English, which I can only imagine comes from the intonation and cadence with which Bengali is spoken????
I'm a Japanese national raised mostly in the USA speaking equally English/Japanese and this cracked me the hell up, the Japanese is too accurate I'm dying 😆
No wonder people who are learning English seem to exaggerate words, it actually is just them trying to put the passion from their native tongue into it lol.
That "YES" to the McDonald's in the same way of saying ""HAI" was fantastic.
That part broke me lmao
Sammee 😂 i cant
It really caught me off guard 😂
Now I’m thinking of Rengoku 😭
I thought it was brilliant! 😂
The overly aggressive "YES. MACDONANALDO" got me rolling 🤣
I’m still laughing at it 2 minutes later.
That’s always the proper excitement to have for mcdonalds
he's so real for that tho
I'm deaddd 🤣🤣🤣
ME TOO 😂😂😂😂
The Korean drinking sounds like when you try to open a carbonated drink realllly slowlyyyy so that it doesn’t burst everywhere 😂😂😂😂
koreans become the soda lol
Yeeeeeeeeeeessssss, that's it! The perfect description!
💀
As korean from san Francisco, I never make that sound
😂😂😂
The version of "cuuuute" to mimic the Japanese drawing out the "kawaiiiii" was hilarious. 🤣
I hate when they do this drawing out thing.
@@ironhell813, ONG. 🙏
It feels fake and silly, more so when they go "eeeeeeeeeeeeee?".
@@Japonesbello I dislike it…
That and anytime they use any word that terminates a sentence “gozaimaaaaassss”….
@@ironhell813, yeah. You live in Japan and see these things or anything?
Yep, I’ve lived in Japan for six months.
As someone who watches kdramas... pls I can't breath I'm laughing so hard 😂
They certainly put a dramatic tone lol
I also watch anime so everything makes sense so perfectly😂😂
Lol same
Fr they he talking in double time
I kept reading it as Im so hard and was🤔 😂😂
This is actually a pretty cool linguistic comparison! It’s so weird hearing inflections I recognize from the languages being mapped onto my own but really cool at the same time! Nice work!
Same thought ! Such a cool thing to be able to do!
The Japanese "YES!! McDonald's!" 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I was dying

that's a weird way of spelling MAKUDONARUDO
@SignalRaptor_ 😂😂 now I know how to spell it.

As someone who is from the us, lived in japan and went to an international school with lots of korean people. can confirm. This has me crying 😂
Okay but I also live in the US, went to
International school in Japan, and had Korean classmates and I’m hollering😂😂😂😂!!!!
As a Japanese-Korean-American I'm laughing rn
As an English person who watched Bleach all the way through once, has never been to the US, Japan or Korea, I found this very amusing whilst having my morning tea and crumpets. Pip pip.
SAME!😂😂
I feel like some of it is accurate but the really staccato "yes" depends so much on context
“YES!” *pause* “MACKADONALDO!” 😂😂😂
00:28 sounded kinda Irish LOL
Exactly what I thought
Definitely Irish haha
Koreans:
problem drinkers, oppressed by the island nation right next to them.

With this video, I figured out that I'm a Korean drinking cola lol
But it was not cola...
@@dasDull it’s not cola it’s COCKE
😭😭😭😭
1:10 Bro _became_ the cola
Let's go Brrrriaoh!
How about Mcdoneld..!
*Drinks *. Hæ!!!😭💀
If someone started a fight with me with the Japanese "Brrrrrrra", I would immediately give up
That Korean khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh at the end was the most perfect and accurate thing. Give this man an Oscar
Honestly, this is the most useful explanation of how intonation is used in Japanese I've ever seen. I never really understood how it worked.

So accurate! Especially the mcd ones hahahha
that korean cola really do be sounding like that dentistry tool that sucks up saliva

Hahaha! Thank you for rolling your R’s to sound badass in Japanese! Highly effective.
The extremely long Korean hissing after drinking cola was so funny
As an American learning Korean via k-dramas, it's my favorite word!😅😅😅😅
The "MAKKUDONARUDO!" absolutely sent me omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're a genius in disguise🤣👏all of em were accuratly accurate
I love how you’re not doing the accents but the intonations only omg how even is this so accurate 😂😂😂
Dude, the Korean with the cola bit is so real. That's literally how my grandmother is sometimes lol
No way😂 This was great.
Seriously. I wish I knew a good way to spell that particular Korean noise. Is it "khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"? "Xkxkxkxkxkxkxhhhhhhhh?"

Oh now I know why my english sounds off. I was speaking in my language intonation 😂
Not you about to curse in Korean Lolol sneaking behind “Simba.” You ain’t slick 😭😩
“Should I go talk to her?” “I’m so hungry” why do these lines with Korean intonation almost sound like Irish and Scottish accents 😭
Can confirm as a Scot the Korean intonation is eerily similar to my accent.

The irony of this is that Japanese tend to be the most non-straightforward with what they want to say vs what they actually say. 😂

This is honestly what K-dramas dubbed in English sound like. I love it so much.
Good one. I'm using sheeps butt now. You can't stop me ❤
💀
I sense extra shade directed at Japan...and I'm here for it hahaha it's hilarious

Yes, immediately reminded me of him 😂
Thanos?!
That Japanese hehhhhh... needed to be here. And the first Korean scene, too much if it wa son point. 😂

This was actually an interesting observation. A+ for the "drinking" acting.

Now I need more languages done 🤣🤣🤣
1:02 I bursted out, wheezed, SCREAMED 😭😭😭😭😭 that caught me so off guard, please do more it's P-E-R-F-E-C-T 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I watch this probably once a week. Always cheers me up 😊
the korean “KKKKKKKHHHHH” is so accurate 😭😭😭
I'm LMAO. Brother, you are hilarious.
The MaccuDonarudo got me so hard lol 😂😂
The cola for the Korean 💀 sounds like a Geiger Counter picking up radiation or smth
😂😂😂 u nerd ❤
The "should I go talk to her?" in the Korean intonation sounds exactly like an Irish accent 🤣
The korean guy drinking soda just GOT MEEE😂😂😂 I knew he'd be doing that one sound with the throat, but him being SO extra abt it? LOVED IT!❤
Korean drinking coke sounded like he was just imitating the fizz of a freshly opened bottle lol
Omg the japanese part in the “do you want to fight” is so true. I can’t even understand what they’re saying when they do that lol
Randomly says はい！！ so aggressively 🤣
Even after being on holiday for a couple weeks in Japan we started telling HAI as well. I think it's contagious
Aside from being hilarious, this is also extremely interesting 😂
How are you not on SNL already? Represent! ❤🎉😂
THE HAI IS TOO ACCURATE PLS
No wonder people who are learning English seem to exaggerate words, it actually is just them trying to put the passion from their native tongue into it lol.
I love how expressive and dramatic it is 💕🙏😭✨💅
I love this about learning new languages. Intonation makes such a difference. 😂❤
THE KOREAN DRINKING COLA PART! 😂😂😂😂
I. AM. CRYING!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I watch a TON of J-Horror and K-Horror and this just has me ROLLIN’! Great stuff man 🫶🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Can you recommend any of either? As well as if they’re gory or psychological?
As someone who has watched Squid games and is learning japanese those are both pretty accurate
I love it 😂😂😂 It's really looks how they speak. I love these three languages, and I love the way they speak. ❤❤
that YES. MAKUDONARUDO had me on the FLOOR
Lowkey ig you go to any village you're gonna get the sing-song rhythm / intonation in english speakers too 😂
I love how Englipanese sounds Irish
Hearing you say "McDonald's" with the Japanese intonation brought back so many memories of when I lived there. 😄😊
The Coke one was my fav.
This takes so much skill and understanding of the languages. And it’s hilarious.
1:14 why is my play station 2 booting up?
This is so funny😂Your videos are amazing Choi
The Japanese YES gets me everytime
The absolute conviction in *“HYESU.”*
This is so accurate I'm crying 😭😂
This was the greatest thing. 😂 thank you so much.
That escalated...drastically
I think languages just suddenly clicked and made a lot more sense to me
So funny and accurate 😂
This triggered all my anime, j drama, and k drama brain muscle memories
One of the best!
The "YES!" and "HAI!" have me rolling🤣🤣
The fighting😂😂😂
This has got to be one of the most hilarious videos i have ever seen 😂😂😂 Thank you so much ❤
Anime and K drama fans rn: 👁️👄👁️
I like to imagine all of this is one long conversation between a person and their hallucination
This was funny af and exactly how I imagined thank you 😂
The Korean intonation reminds me of the way people raised in Hawaii speak
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I REALLY WAS WONDERING ABOUT THIS IF IT WAS ACTUALLY WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE OMG😂😭😭🙏🏾
Some of these ended up sounding Irish or Aussie 😂 love it!
Absolutely fantastic! Can't stop laughing,in a good way! Thanks for that 😊❤
unironically this genuinely helps distinguish the different tones tho
