You can notice how many English words Hong Kong cantonese tend to use when you compare it with Macanese or other more traditional variants
That’s what we called Chinglish 😆
And with good pronunciation too.
Well I mean Hong Kong was ruled under Britain for a very long time lol. But then again it’s not just Hong Kong. Philippines do it aswell. It’s called Taglish (Tagalog and English) it’s just easier to switch to the English word if you can’t remember the word in your language
@@manga626 the good pronunciation is a false description. Do you consider british people speaking with a bad pronunciation when they say "wa'er" instead of water?
I am in love with the women with the white mask. Love your energy. Please write back!!!
This video makes me miss hong kong so much. I used to go a lot as a kid since my family is from Guangdong and hong kong was almost always a pitstop. I would love to try to live there since my Cantonese is probably good enough that I could survive and since they seem to use a lot of English mixed in, I would love to test myself and try to survive.
LITERALLY THE SAME AS YOU
So happy to see another video! Hoping for more to come 🥰
Now I know how to say "binge watch" in Cantonese.
Its called bo kek which literally means boil drama
Thank you for making this video. Please continue this series. Add oil!!!
Easy German really *is* easy after all!
IKR lmao
indonesian is easyest language in the world
@@ru.hend_ Why?
@@ru.hend_ that's because it's ur first language lol, other languages speaker will say the same
@@coniston3106 My first language is japanese dude...im learn indonesian..its so easy
It's really, really difficult. 👍🏾👍
Thank you for making this video 😊
Thanks for the video
I know this video is 3-years old. But I have to say for anyone learning Canto, I've watched quite a few similar videos on youtube now where they translate "Ga yow!" to "Add oil!" in the subtitles :-)) In this context, they are not saying "add oil!". I believe they mean something like "best of luck". I'm not a native speaker though. I grew up in the UK; my parents are from Hong-Kong
By similar videos you mean English subbed cantonese videos ? Because I'm looking for more videos of this kind and i can't find much besides this channel, so i'd be happy if you could share where to find similar content on RUclips :)
Learned a bunch of new words, great video!
This is a really specific tone question, but it stuck out to me like a sore thumb - at 2:29, why is ji gaa pronounced as ji1 gaa1 with a tone 1 on ji? Isn’t it ji6 gaa1 with 6?
They are equivalents. I myself personally say ji6 more often.
It can be pronounced either way
It's really interesting to see that not a single person appears to use washable/reusable masks
I am a Hong Konger. I think we don’t really use reusable mask because we think it’s not that safe. Like everyone in my school use surgical masks and not a single one use washable or reusable masks.
@Luu Siblings We do have them.
@Luu Siblings welcome 😌
I'm just worried about the mass waste created every day... :(
I think that's because Asian people were already used to using this kind of masks before the pandemic. But also reusable masks do not work at all, actually I don't understand why they are still accepted as "masks". In my country (in Europe), whenever a patient comes to do a covid test at the hospital, the staff asks them to take off their fabric masks and provide them a surgical one
why are there numbers in the subtitles (middle line)? I'm just curious.
I'm Algerian, and when we write Algerian Arabic (not MSA) with latin alphabet we also include numbers from time to time instead of letters which don't have an equivalent in sound in the latin alphabet.. I don't know if it makes sense or not.. we use 5 7 2 but the most common ones are 3 and 9.
The numbers stand for tones, Cantonese has 6 of them. Mandarin Chinese in comparison has 4.
@@Zoombieknr1 @KeWiS @KeWiS I did notice the pattern (always at the end of every word) and I thought it might be that but then I thought it couldn't be .. because they changed a lot and it seemed like it's almost impossile to keep up!
Thanks for explaining!
@@ofgodzeus just to clarify, cantonese has 9 tones, the first 6 tones do not have ending consonants, the other 3 do.
@@Zoombieknr1 cantonese has 9 tones
@@SamTheMan12 1 means lower voice and 6 means high right?
原來有廣東話～

Middle of the translation , why there are numbers at the end of the words?
It indicates the tone of each word.
@@westwoods7675 aaa, thank you so much
tones are actually what makes mandarin and Cantonese so versatile. Like for example in mandarin there are more than plenty of words with the same (structures??). But the tone can separate those structures into different words completely
@@gaylord3592 Not structures. Tones are used to separate different words with similar pronunciation.
Congrats
Free Hong Kong!
Hong Kong is China
@@joaoweimar8087 no it's not
vcchlw you wish
@@joaoweimar8087 You are not from Hong Kong, right? Then why does it matter with you? Mind your own business, okay?
✋☝️
What does these numbers mean ,after the chinese words ?
The numbers are used to mark the tone of a word
Why not use fabric masks ? You can make them out of old t-shirts.
Because it's not safe enough
Hongkoners prefer to say 武[mou5]漢[hon3] 肺[fai3]炎[yim4] instead of 新型肺炎 for naming the pandemic.
what is mou hon fai jim
Fusy family soaps yes (free mask)❤🎉😊😮😢😅😂
do people not use reusable masks?
because they think its inpracticle, not safe, and expensive
Is this in Wan Chai? 😂

Closing the toilet lid?? She needs to research how the Coronavirus spreads. Then she won't be so paranoid.
COVID-19 also spreads through human wastes and sewage. So she wasn't paranoid. You are ignorant.
