Don't know if anyone else has said it but this is so awesome how the jyutpin is included for such native level conversation. Someone must have worked really hard to do that so shout out to them!
Right? I agree. As a native Cantonese speaker, I never used or saw jyutping (粵拼) until I was learning Mandarin on my own in my high school years. And I can see that jyutping is more complicated than regular pinyin ((漢語)拼音) in Mandarin.
Thank you for making Cantonese series again! 😊
Its time to revive the Easy Cantonese series!
More Easy Cantonese! Deserves its own Channel!
Please make more Easy Cantonese videos! As a Cantonese person who grew up in an English-speaking country, these videos are so helpful for trying to improve my conversational Cantonese!
I know it’s an old video so people have moved on but the dude in year 3 studying physics is hilarious 🤣🤣
Finally! 😘😘😘
Mandarin, Japanese, English,... Nah we don't need
Cantonese is da best!
我是马来西亚的华人，会讲广东话，但不会读，这支影片让我的粤语水平进步了。
I used to date someone with HK roots for a while, and got familiar with the sounds of the Cantonese language through her family. I barely understand any word but generally loved the sound of it and it still remains very distinctive to my ears. I can't tell exactly what makes me love it, but I think I like the relatively "hard" sounds (compared to Mandarin for example) and tonal languages in general fascinate me because that concept isn't a core feature of the languages I've learnt.
kudos for listing "slang" for foreigners not in the know! it will surely let them understand more than what "conventional" classes may teach
"[I will keep studying] until the society doesn't let me study anymore." Is the summary of my mood!
Thank you for your hard work especially to Leo for Hosting and transcriping. I was really looking forward to this new episode. I am glad Cantonese is getting more attention.
thank you for making them!! it means so much for both Hong Kongers and Cantonese learners
Yay,! Cantonese is always a favorite!
Please post more cantonese videos!
Please make more Cantonese episodes please

You have great style easy cantonese is one of my most favourite of the easy languages
感谢你们的言普
Hopefully they make more of these videos in the future!!
Please film other episodes of other university thxxxxx
Wo oi leo
MOOOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!
Un vídeo sobre los dialectos del cantones sería genial
Cantonese is much more difficult than Mandarin
Cantonese is the most difficult language in Asia.
It's not hard for Hong Kong Chinese to learn or for non-Chinese born and raised in Hong Kong, they just acquire it naturally! Hard to learn as a second language for sure
It's subjective. For East Asians Arabic/Hebrew are definitely harder.
I am native in Cantonese and speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English, German, Russian, Japanese and learned/am learning Italian, French, Spanish, Arabic, Latin and Ukrainian.
I notice that the typeface in the subtitles of earlier Easy Cantonese is in Ming typeface (明體) while more recent ones are in Gothic type (黑體), the East Asian version of sans serif. Why the change?
Love your channel. Just wondering if it’s possible to get the transcripts of your video (in Chinese characters), so I can get the yale phonetics instead since I don’t know jyutpin?
I'll help you out. (Jyutping to Yale)
Initials:
z becomes j
c becomes ch
j becomes y
(n might sometimes become l)
Finals:
-aa becomes -a
-oe becomes -eu
-oek becomes -euk
-oeng becomes -eung
-eoi becomes -eui
-eon becomes -eun
-eot becomes -eut
Other Cases:
jyu, jyun, and jyut lose the j when converting to Yale.
Everything else should be the same. Do you also need tones?
@@littlewishy6432 yes I'll need tone too. Thanks

o5 óh
o6 oh
@@littlewishy6432 thank you
Why are there numbers after each word in the translation?
It signifies which intonation you should use
They are tone numbers. Recommend you search up “jyutping tones” to learn them.
This is a cool feature of these videos - they tell you which tone you need to use for each syllable; the tone is an intrinsic part of the language, each number identifies an individual tone
Dystopian..
