Just for you English speakers - Mandarin speakers really can't understand Cantonese, but Cantonese speakers can understand mandarin better, so this conversation is mainly one sided with Enna just trying her best to guess WTF Selen was saying lol
@@ChaosMind10531 Cantonese speaks are more exposed to mandarin-based media and content, but not true the other way around. The pronounciation and tones of cantonese is just very different, plus there are grammar/vocab that's unique to Cantonese as well. It's common for Chinese speaker of different dialects to not understand each other. Both Enna and Selen would not understand Shanghainese at all, for example.
Honestly every time I find a streamer who speaks mandarin (especially at Enna or Selen's level) I'm always interested since it's a shared experience (clearly our parents are all immigrants)
Had 2 friends that tried speaking to each other in their dialects (Cantonese and Teochew). Gave up after 30 seconds. Its a wonder how these two did a stream like this.
OMG TEOCHEW I talk that dialect too and never thought i would find someone else talking about it, especially online. In your friends' case, that's kinda because Teochew is so fucking different from other dialects, like idk, it even differs between mutual Teochew speakers. It's from mainland China first, but mine has some vietnamese, cantonese and cambodgian words in it because of my ancestors's history. So if i were to go back where the dialect came from, I wouldn't be able to understand 100% of their Teochew. So trying to undertand another dialect or mandarin only based on Teochew is impossible. It doesn't even sound remotely close compared to Mandarin and Cantonese, and trust me i live in an asian district, grew up able to differentiate them but I don't understand a word in both.
as a native speaker who can understand both dialects perfectly this is really killing me lmao 3:30 selen's "m haai yaaaaaaa m haai yaaaaaa-" packs so much emotions I can't-
It’s kind of similar to languages with Latin origin! I’m Portuguese and I can pretty much understand what most Spanish people say. As for French and Italian, I can figure out a few words and understand the context of the sentence by that ahaha
If you speak the dialects, its possible to semi-understand mandarin. The problem is when you only speak mandarin and then try to understand the dialects, its very difficult. Its cause dialects have more tones than mandarin. For example, cantonese have 6 tones, hokkien has 7 tones. while mandarin has only 4 tones.
Coming from a native German speaker, the whole concept of tones is a nightmare for me to learn. I can literally drop syllables and pronounce each vocal like a robot would, and an experienced German speaker would still be able to understand me with ease. While learning mandarin I already struggle with the number 5😅
I don't about you guys. But I have light tone skin. Proceeds to speak in a filipino dialect: Da akun sabuta giya mga tono a mga kathiro o mga chinese. 😅
@@ChilledRedPanda If i rmbred, it used to be 8 or 9? but its simplified to 6 now, you could still maybe meet people who speak up 8 or 9 tones but that's really rare. They tend to be older gens or people who interact with older gens constantly. I doubt that much people uses 9 tones now cause of phones, its hard to catch different tones via call, especially with background sounds. That's why you will think a lot of chinese people yell into their cellphones, its cause its easier to distinguish tones when its spoken loudly.
i think whats funny is how selen understands enna while enna is just completely confused LMFAOOO this is literally my experience with mandarin speaking people (as a canto speaker), because of all the different tones
Made my Cantonese speaking Asian mum listen to the part of Selen calling Enna dumb and roommate lack of fluency clip and that went as well as you’d think.
On the Cantonese slang used here: Bat po (八婆) means 'a nosy (old) woman'. It's not quite as negative then bitch but it's up there. Dai B (低B) means 'stupid' and it's very specific to Hong Kong because there's no Chinese word for the 'B'. It probably comes from English word baby where Hong Kong ppl mutated it from 'baby' to 'BB' (basically say it like Beebee or 'B B').
Thank you so much for subbing this!!! that was one of my favourite streams ! Even if i couldnt understand them at the time, you could tell they were having a blast trying to udnerstand each other and the whole stream became a nice share of asian childhoods so seeing this adds more to the experience
Emotionally distraught that I'm not able to watch NijiCancelled Streams anymore but this stream too is a goldmine of pure entertainment locked behind a Language barrier I cannot breach and I'm eternally grateful you made a generous 8 minute clip of it, Spades ❤️
Eating chicken is actually Chinese slang for being a prostitute. Really caught me off guard when Enna started talking about eating chicken out of nowhere lol
Didn’t know they were both of Chinese ethnicity. Interesting. Also I love how Selen’s Cantonese sounds. Very nostalgic of the accent of characters in Hong Kong action movies.
I don't think a lot of people truly "get" how gargantuan and old China is. There's enough overlap between Cantonese & Mandarin to _kind of_ understand bits and pieces, but suggesting they're similar (not that anyone here has, granted) would be a bit like saying the Cree and Western Apache are similar because they're both Indigenous American languages.
It's easier than it seems. When you learn another language correctly, you effectively put all of your knowledge about it into a separate "box" in your brain. Switching languages just means switching which "box" is open.
@@ShurikenSpades Not at all! TBH it was more like a passing comment than an actual suggestion. And really, thank you for going through the stream to make the compilation and then subbing in BOTH Cantonese and Mandarin for us! 🙏
@@Trisha_Yuu Ahh then.. Thanks for mentioning it HAHAH I might have read into it a little too much asdfghjk.. No problem at all, I'm just glad you liked the clip!! The hard work paid off :')
damn it always feels weird hearing a vtuber speak my native language, like now that i'm out of hk studying the only people i hear speak cantonese are my family and occasional random stranger
This is funny to me cause certain shrimp communicate through light and many cockroaches are photo sensitive so I just picture a shrimp flashing nearly non-visible light to a roach and the roach can FEEL the light but has no idea what it means
So… are shrimps one of the ancient cousins of roaches…? Kind of like how dogs & wolves are ancestrally related? Because it still weirds me out how I like eating shrimps and many other seafoods but find bugs to only welcome the flamethrower, not appetite
Perhaps the reason chinese speakers "sound angry" sometimes might have something to do with chinese languages having _specific tonal patterns_ in certain syllables that, to native English speakers, sometimes sound like emotional inflection even though they aren't. In English, a rising tone at the end of a sentence is usually an inflection of alarm or confusion, but in Chinese it could just be how that word is pronounced.
For chinese-speaking people that haven't learned cantonese(like me), trying to understand what Selen is saying is like trying to write japanese when you only learned 5 characters.
I've mainly watching English Selen clips and when this popped up I was like, "wait she can speak mandarin". watching Enna struggle with Selens Cantonese made this feel relateable. I can also speak Mandarin so I perfectly understood Enna but I couldn't understand Selen at all. It's cool learning that some of my favorite vtubers can also speak the same language as me
Thanks for making this. I really enjoyed listening to this stream all thise months ago, just hearing them banter back and forth but having no idea what was being said. But this is like getting to enjoy it all over again and understanding the jokes this time.
i love this stream because like im more fluent in mandarin than canto but im learning it rn from my fluent canto only grandmother, so im like literally going through what enna is HAHAHA like half the time i only understand "eat, sleep, watch, me, you" the basics HAHAH
That's how you know they are amazing friends . It will sound like they are cussing each other out 50/50 on whether or not they do. Higher volume = better friends
Its always so interesting which other Languages the Livers can speak and how good they are at it too. Like usually they do mention it in their debut, but I can't remember every thing every person says in their debut. Its nice to see tho, especially if its translated in a clip like this~
omg thanks for the translation, as someone who understands mandarin but not canto, i was just as clueless as enna and going along with what enna was saying🤣🤣🤣
This reminded me of a bad movie where the son and dad were talking to each other on the phone. And the director must've just told them to "speak Chinese" because the son was speaking in Mandarin and the dad was saying stuff in Cantonese. 🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching this stream live despite not speaking a word of any kind of Chinese besides "nihao", so understood very little, but I learnt a lot about Chinese households and family culture.
This was definitely a collab 😂 But seriously, this stream was so fun, I remember watching it live and since I come from a cantonese family I can kind of understand what Selen was saying (my cantonese is not very good though) but the misunderstandings and comparing experiences was sooo funny.
4:58 that reminds me of when I was in 6th grade, I had to pick up a call from my parents in the middle of class (cause they called to the classroom's phone) and i just went "okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, bye" while all my classmates stared at me lol classic phone call with the parents
I may not understand Chinese, but when Enna was talking about not being able to poop she was talking the universal language of "Conversations I have to put up with from my parents/grandparents because they're so old they've run out of fucks to give and I can't tell them to stop."
Man i dont understand madarin but selen's cantonese is sending me over the hill 😂 its literally sounds like every cantonese person speaks Cantonese will always sound super passivr aggressive while madarin is lower tier passive aggressive
Selen is definitely me whenever my father talks about uncomfortable topics at the dinner table. Makes me lose my appetite. My mom is always the one telling him that nobody wants to hear his nonsense. 8:01
To "step on someone" is the idiom for "insulting someone" in Cantonese. So you might just get insulted instead of being stepped on. It's also pretty common to hear this idiom. lol
I love how Selen is calling Enna's name with the Cantonese accent - En↗na↘ 😂😂 there's this standard intonation in Cantonese that applies for almost every english names
Thank you for translating this 🙏 I finally understood what they're saying and they're as funny as always 😂 i hope they do these again cuz the brain dead moments are gold lol
i totally relate with enna on the poop part 😂 my family, especially my mom, emphasizes how important it is to poop at least one time a day, if not every 3 days my stool was really bad as a kid maybe thats why LMFAO remember eating greens, drinking water and soup helps digestion!
It reminds me of when my family speaks Cantonese. When they bust that out, I know for a fact they don't want me to understand. They passed down every dialect of Chinese they knew but Cantonese to me 😞
Hope you enjoyed the clip!
💜 Aiyahh if you haven't, SUBCRIBE -laaa
Selen has the softest, least threatening Cantonese voice I have ever heard. Enna's Mandarin is... uh.. Enna... in Mandarin.
Enna's mandarin sounds pretty normal to me. Wait till you hear people from Northern China...
Im sorry you can understand cantonese.
Selen's "mm hai ahhhh" are endearing to me for some reason
Really she sounds the same as any other Cantonese speaker I hear
least maybe but not softest lol
The literally translated "your brain is bad" is the funniest way of calling people dumb for some reason, lmfao.

can confirm. I can understand Enna perfectly, but can't understand Selen except when she says "you" or "eat"

I only recently found out that Petra speaks Cantonese as well :')

It's almost like Spanish and Italian, there are some words that you can pick out that sound very similar and you can kinda get the context from that

when they were saying "step on me" in canto oh my god it was the worst experience ever hearing that in my mother's tongue
As someone who's studying mandarin in college +duolingo, i understand only 20%of what enna says😢😢
Really? All of the stuff she is saying is basic Mandarin tho
i started learning mandarin (at the university) only 1.5y ago and i personally find Enna more easy to understand than Selen.
Good job at understanding 20% of it, studying for a new language is hard!
And looking forward to the day you fully understand it!

i swear phone call with parents at school is one of the most stressful thing
The conversación went so well selen had to "haiyaaa"
this is so much more entertaining when u can understand both languages

It is satisfying to understand another language other than english. I don't really speak it well but i understand cantonese
This stream was an instant classic.
I came in with my putonghua, selen fuckin killed me using Cantonese
Oh God, those VTubers are cuddly little dorks!
哦，天哪，那些VTubers是可爱的小笨蛋！
哦，天哪，那些VTubers是可愛的小笨蛋！
As someone who can speak Cantonese and mandarin, this stream was perfect for me
It reminds me of when my family speaks Cantonese. When they bust that out, I know for a fact they don't want me to understand. They passed down every dialect of Chinese they knew but Cantonese to me 😞
hopefully there is the full stream translated so fun to watch they converse in different language
Wish i've met my grandpa so he could teach me cantonese and i'd ask Selen and Enna to step on me in our ancestor's language
