Hey guys! This is Priscilla, this is Sunny. And today's video is about Mandarin vs Cantonese. Since we have one more Mandarin learners in the world, the first question pops up in your mind might be, should I learn Mandarin or Cantonese? Can't read this, no way. And the short answer is, if you want to speak with the maximum number of Chinese speakers in the world, you should learn Mandarin, because Mandarin is the official language. And whenever you are watching TV shows or radio, it's all in Mandarin. But if you want to survive better in Hong Kong or Khao, even Guangdong Province, it's better to learn how to speak Cantonese. You seriously use the word survive? Yes, survive. Because they don't speak good Mandarin, they can't speak Cantonese. Okay, but it's tense. And also, you might also be confused that what's the difference and what's the similarity between these two languages. So for similarity, both languages are spoken in China, right? And another thing, quite similar might be, like in written forms, when we write something, it's kind of quite similar. We can always step into each other. And it's very like a mutual intelligible. Yeah. And actually in mainland China, people use simplified characters. But in Hong Kong, like Taiwan is, they use traditional characters, which is more, way more complicated. Yes, way more complicated than I can agree with that. And like for the differences, I think it's totally different. What's something you're speaking or like talking to her family on her phone is wholly gone. It's another language. Yes, totally different. They feel like I'm speaking a foreign language instead of Chinese. Yes. And for most of you, like cracking tones, maybe the hardest problem for you. Like for us Mandarin, we only have four tones. Please pay attention to what only. But for Cantonese, we have six tones and nine sounds. Right in same. So to help you have a better understanding of the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese, let's see some like following Chinese phrases in Mandarin and Cantonese. Okay. For example, the basic greetings and hello, Ni Hao in Mandarin. In Cantonese, we say, Lei Hao, okay. And I can speak Chinese. What would you say Chinese? What would you say Chinese? What would you say Chinese? What would you say Chinese? You know this word, right? Yeah. Many people would say if you asked them, do you speak Cantonese? They would say, it's like 10 seconds. Which means I can't understand it. But I don't speak the language. Right. And like some other words might be like, thank you. Thank you. That's it. God in Cantonese. And like goodbye. Say it again. Bye bye. Oh, you guys are so international. We don't, we don't make any difference when saying goodbye. Okay, quite international. You win. And like for all the phrases, I often use, I want to drink there. We are all pitiol. Or you better. Okay. I should learn that word. To truly later. Yeah, you're a big fan of beer. I know that. And another phrase you might often use in China might be, take away the expensive, quite a side. Mmm, and you should ask the cheap price. You should say, at the end. Thank you. Yeah, that's so cute. And the last one, oh my goodness. In Mandarin, that would be what? Tianna. Or you can say, what ma? My mother? What a maia. Yeah, oh my mother. Oh my goodness. Okay, in Cantonese, we actually say, oh my god, a lot. But if you want to say Cantonese, you can say, bye-bye. Bye-bye. Oh shit. Something bad happened. Okay. Be. Okay, that's it for today's video. Have you decided which language I can learn in later? So I think I will just learn Mandarin. Yes. That's easy. Yes, because we only have like four tones. And we use simply five Chinese characters. And we can say, speak to most of the people in China. Yes, that's so true. So that's it for today's video. If you like our video, please follow our chat.
