@@indeedallthethings7084 because popular media in Cantonese is from Hong Kong. The Guangzhou Cantonese isn't able to flourish due to the government restricting language use that isn't in Mandarin.
Yes, because Hong Kong used to be a British colony and many of the concepts are not native to the Chinese, so when a new thing is introduced they'd adapted it from the English name
My parents were from Guangdong and I had no idea there was a difference in the words until now. It seems like I was taught to mostly speak the Hong Kong style
As a child from a Hong Kong mother, I'll notice when I go to a Chinese supermarket where mainland Cantonese work there. Also their expressions are softer
Me too. I didn’t realise that I used a mix of both 😅 I used wai-soong-sou instead of the hong kong cantonese of vitamin. But I use ba si instead of whatever guangdong cantonese uses.
Here's what I've noticed in the US: HK speakers usually speak HK style but Guangzhou speakers mix the two together. And then there's Toishanese, which is whole other ball game.
yes，cuz guangzhou Cantonese (mostly born in the 70s-90s) growing up watching HK TV shows, however the younger generations rarely watch HK Tv shows anymore.
Hong Kong was colonized and influenced by the British in recent history. Guangzhou was always a Chinese city, and as a Chinese city, the Cantonese speakers' primary influence was Standard Mandarin. That said, in America, my Chinese is influenced by American English. I primarily learned Mandarin from my Mandarin-speaking parents who didn't speak an accurate version of Mandarin themselves, yet didn't really speak in full-on dialect/topolect either. They just spoke somewhere between Standard Mandarin (Putonghua) and regional dialect (fangyan). And this Mandarin is also influenced by the surrounding environment (America), so I speak Chinese that only my household members understand. Too often, I find myself saying pa车 instead of 停车 because of the English word 'parking'. And I learned that from my parents. And we call 'buffet' poo-fay because that's more natural in the Chinese tongue. In the Mandarin language, there is no voiced b sound, so my parents end up pronouncing that as poo-fay with Chinese phonemes, and I followed. Though, I think Chinese literature and the vocab words from the HSK are the greatest help for me to move past elementary Chinese (I like to call that 'preschool Chinese') and into a level where I can converse in a more grown-up manner.
@@samydaniel7566 I think what Kiwifruitkl said about B sound is the sound B like in English words bear, bad, bed. So even though there are many B in mandarin Pinyin like mian bao, ming bai, bi ru etc, in mandarin they sound like P in speak.
@@chattyparrot3588 in mandarin there is B SOUND AND P SOUND BOTH ask a mandarin speaker what pigu means wo bu pien ni anyway that person is wrong there is p and b

Very interesting and I guess it would have been put into Hong Kong Cantonese during the years 1941 1945 the Japanese Occupation. I wonder why there wasn't an effort to write Hong Kong Cantonese in Japanese characters if applicable
@@EpicThe112 No, it wasn't put into Hong Kong by the Japanese during WWII, lol. It's the other way around. The Japanese say Sensei because that's how teachers are referred to in Middle Chinese. Koreans say Seonsaeng as well. Cantonese hasn't changed. It's always been Sin Saang for centuries.
@@EpicThe112 You're welcome. Many Sino-Japanese terms are of Classical Chinese origin. Mandarin is a comparatively innovative language, and many terms that are now considered standard Chinese are only from within Mandarin. More conservative languages like Cantonese retain archaisms even today. Archaisms shared by other languages that took influence from Classical Chinese, such as Korean and Japanese.
Anything spoken in China is a 方言. If it’s outside, it is a 语言。Don’t think of these words by their approximate English translations. The logic is different. Even a Turkic language like Uyghur is still considered a 方言 in Chinese. It was hard for me to comprehend at first but after some discussions and Googling, I found that I’m looking at it from the wrong linguistic angle. In fact, 方言 should be translated as a “regiolect” and not a “dialect”.
i think they're mutually intelligible, especially in singapore. Additional Word: Strawberry Standard Cantonese: cou2 mui4 (you can use this in HongKong / Singapore, it's fine) HongKong Cantonese: si6 do1 be1 lei2 (mostly in HongKong. Singapore, it's rare but understood)
Absolutely no one uses cou mui to refer to strawberries in Hong Kong. Everyone says si do be lei. You can use it, people will know instantly you're not a native HKer, and many people won't even know what you're talking about. Cantonese is of course intelligible with itself. The Guangzhou/HK difference is literally a New Yorkers vs Texan difference for English for example. Different word preferences, but the same language. Cantonese is not mutually intelligible with Mandarin though.
My grandmother's family is from Guangdong but I suppose since she's from Vietnam and the school she went to, she learned the Hong Kong way of Cantonese, because I've heard her use mostly that instead of Guangzhou Cantonese.

Wow crazy, didn't realize that growing up, hearing Chinese-ized american words ("van-jia" for "van") was all from Hong Kong-style cantonese. Thanks for the knowledge!
The reason for that was the British rule in Hong Kong 1841-1941 & 1945-1997, which was interrupted by the Japanese rule 1941-1945. That's how it became stuck in Hong Kong Cantonese.
Some of the Hong Kong Cantonese are adapted from English. "Pak Che", dereived from "Park" ("che" referring to car", "Dik si" is based off "Taxi", "Ba si" is based off "Bus".
Lol this is interesting but we actually say teacher too not 先生 and 先生 is just like a nickname for loads of jobs For example: Lee Sir would be 李先生 先生 is just like "sir or mr" in english

HK is really polite, and they know what their doing. They called the teacher as « sin1 saang1 » literally meaning Sir/Mister. I can tell the Western influences since they used to be under the blanket of England colony.

makes sense, British for "elevator" is "lift" and Hongkong was a British Colony so the "elevator" for Hongkong is "lip"
