as expected, when an ethnically chinese guy who's grown up in an english--speaking environment instead of a cantonese-speaking one tries to speak some canto, u get a thousand comments telling you your canto isn't up to scratch like "hey 懶音 and your tones are all wrong". the moment a white guy tries speaking a few sentences of cantonese, everybody starts fawning over him and be like 'wow you're so good'. like seriously, check yourselves people.
zephyr84 It's understandable because I guess their standards for people who are "expected"(ethnic Chinese) to know a language will be harsher in criticism than that of a foreign-looking person that has no connection to the culture.
mate - the style, presentation and editing of this video and your CNY video are moving you up to the next level. Its great to see a different styles from creators - ie this sitdown talk vs your moving vlogs. And whilst your 2015 round up was obviously inspired by Casey, these last two have been your own which is what makes them great. keep up the great work!
When I was like 13 years old, I stayed at Singapore 🇸🇬 for about 2 years since my dad worked there. My favourite was the dim sum+ I'm good at cantonese because I grew up with cantonese because my dad is a American but also grew up with cantonese 😀
I feel like I could do one of these videos for how to pretend to speak Japanese with only using "はじめまして”、”よろしく”、そうです”、そうですね、そうですか、ありがとう（ござます）、and ごめん（なさい）。 Hell, you really only need the sou desu variations to get complimented on your amazing Japanese, if you're white.
Went to a Chinese restaurant in Melbourne some years back and the waiter started speaking to me in Cantonese. I kinda panicked and gave him the most bewildered look. Had to have someone translate his question for me.
Actually the word 个 should be 個. Remember the difference between the use of the traditional Chinese characters and the simplified Chinese characters. In HK we should use the first one instead of the second one.
But what if he is from Guangdong? What if he is from Singapore? What if he is from Malaysia? They use 个 and not 個 too. And what if he just prefers using Simplified?
I go to dim sum a lot! for yum Cha. But there won't be a menu cause they will go to you with the pe-made food, you'll just ask what they are they will tell you, get it or nottt! Ohhh I live and love Cha siu bou! 😍
Dim Sums are called 'touch the heart' because you don't want to eat too much that it touches your heart, that's why they come in small portions. The whole point of going to Yum Cha (which means to drink tea) is enjoying the tea rather than the food
Yes you're right, 'touch the heart' is just the common Westernisation of the words. And yes its radish I don't know why I said carrot lol :| Thanks though :)
Yesssss I realised that's because our local restaurant calls it that even though they call everything else by their Cantonese name... haha thanks for pointing it out though :)
As a Cantonese person, I am in the same boat. My dad never taught me so the only thing I know is Dim Sum dishes !!!!
Holy shit we have the same name too
isn't eat sik
Denny Supandi

that's just a natural reaction. When you're Chinese, you're expected to speak Canto well
Actually I cringe hard at and shit on the white people trying it too.
@@chunl1002 I'm not Asian or white, but I cringe too. Especially if they have a noticeable American accent.
@@hexyko4850 whoa, that is a problem on your side. Be tolerant.
I'M DYING THE SONG HE ADDED THO.

Lo Bak Go is Turnip cake not carrot :P
0:36

Slow down!!! In Cantonese please so I can say it to you Adam as you speak to us 😂😂😂😂
I love Dim Sum! Those times have been some of the most endearing dining experiences I've had.
Why only 10k subs. This channel deserves more
When I was like 13 years old, I stayed at Singapore 🇸🇬 for about 2 years since my dad worked there. My favourite was the dim sum+ I'm good at cantonese because I grew up with cantonese because my dad is a American but also grew up with cantonese 😀
So your cantonese is great?
Yau Ka Hei Well, I wouldn't say like my Cantonese is that perfect but I would really grade it as a good though 😀
Hey joella where are u nowadays? Omg I can't believed its you.Its been a long time.
How's your dad?plz say hello to him as well.Take care OK.
Ayyyee, loved this video lolol. It was super fun to watch, and a good refresher for canto vocab :D
LOL @ "watermelon juice" in Cantonese
Where is the dou fu fa scene from
ua-cam.com/video/TcjdfC9CDCo/v-deo.html if you still want it

was this supposed to be humorous cause i'm literally laughing my head off
Song with Long Ban is the opening of 上海灘.
in mandarin, they also change er become liang, in cantonese is leung
good job, ur accent is cool! the clip of homer made me laugh
I hope you can edit the video with Juytping or can you edit the description so I can learn new words. Very useful
You can watch my newer videos :) they're more accurate haha
Watermelon juice 😂
That ozzy Canto combo is hilarious
I speak fluently, and this video is bomb.
2:55 what was that video called again?
It took me such a long time but I found it. It's Dankhooproductions' "Can I join your gang?".
Jabin Chen mOMG thanks!
what dim sum restaurant has watermelon juice?
Where is the clip of the guy yelling TOFU FAAA from??
It's from 'Can I join your gang?' from DanKhooProductions, one of my favourite youtubers :)
Went to a Chinese restaurant in Melbourne some years back and the waiter started speaking to me in Cantonese. I kinda panicked and gave him the most bewildered look. Had to have someone translate his question for me.
Where you from? Sydney or Melb?
The reason why it's different for "leung gor" is because when you say "yee gor" it means 2nd brother or younger brother
That Long Faan~ song was pretty catchyyy anyone know what song it is?
If you mastered the 5 words with door as radical, then you are already expert.
what is the title of that song??
Actually the word 个 should be 個. Remember the difference between the use of the traditional Chinese characters and the simplified Chinese characters. In HK we should use the first one instead of the second one.
You are right, I forgot to change to Traditional! Woops...
yes
But what if he is from Guangdong? What if he is from Singapore? What if he is from Malaysia? They use 个 and not 個 too. And what if he just prefers using Simplified?
If you want to master a language, just stick to the original.
Chak Ming Li You mean the original Bronze Seal or Bone Oracle?
oh my god. This was awesome, thanks mate! :)
+Ethan Gordon All thanks to you bro haha
You can learn Cantonese from me if you need
Lps Wing Yi yeah
im trying not to laugh at ur little clips of shanghai beach and ur translations of the words at 2:00am😶😂😂😂
2:54 KILLED ME
Thank you, this was super duper useful. I just want to order food LOL straight to the point
Where can I find that " DAU FU FA " video
As a gwai lo, I know the Cantonese, but not the English names. Thanks.
I enjoy your video!
Oh my god thats freaking hillarious. How he said the dishes.
Is that song from 射雕英雄传？
😂😂😂 the Yugioh clip, suuuper funny and relatable for my ABC ass. (Probably mentioned already but the Lo bak go should be radish cake not carrot!)
watermelon juice, 西瓜汁 or xai gua zup... i think idk lol
that's right, but i've never heard anyone say that so idk too lol
I go to dim sum a lot! for yum Cha. But there won't be a menu cause they will go to you with the pe-made food, you'll just ask what they are they will tell you, get it or nottt! Ohhh I live and love Cha siu bou! 😍
Dim Sums are called 'touch the heart' because you don't want to eat too much that it touches your heart, that's why they come in small portions. The whole point of going to Yum Cha (which means to drink tea) is enjoying the tea rather than the food
I’m from guangdong where they speak Cantonese but instead of dim sum we call it yum chai which means drink tea
Yum cha refers to the name of the meal. Dim sum refers to the dishes you eat during this meal.
whats the chinese song in the video ?
上海灘lol thats a really old song
I think it should be wo tip not guo tie
Hahaha... you speak exactly like Quan Yeomans! Nice vid!
I'm pretty sure the first word in dim sum is not touch. They sound similar but are different tones. Also it's raddish, not carrot
Yes you're right, 'touch the heart' is just the common Westernisation of the words. And yes its radish I don't know why I said carrot lol :| Thanks though :)
Leroy Chan yeah but literally" law bot" means carrot
dragon143143 That's radish. Carrot is "red radish."
New sub here. I’m learning cantonese
Who is the person screaming at 2:54 ? He is an absolute fucking legend
Ming Yue from TheMingThing: ua-cam.com/users/dmingthing
Thanks for the reply mate. I really enjoyed this video!

好，Adam，多謝。🙏😍🎇😍🇭🇰

I didn't really learn anything but now I'm hungry 😂
you need more practice in Cantonese haha
daooo fuuuu faaaaaa
@@chucks4963 tofu pudding?
Lol that’s why he said pretend
I thought dim sum means pointing at the heart. Just putting it out there. But yea we usually call it Yum Cha.
BRUH the song 😂😂😂 also my favorite is bac cheung fun I don't know how to write it in here so I did the ping yum 😭😭😭 I'm a picky eater
your dim sum Cantonese is actually good!
Um....Not really (not sure if it's an accent though)...It's passable ^^
***** I don't think so. As a person who speaks cantonese, I'm really impressed. :)
Greenx Flames As a person who speaks cantonese, I'm really unimpressed :/
***** I don't know why but I think it's really really good!
Greenx Flames I guess you're easily impressed then :)
鍋貼 isn't Guo Tie in cantonese... it's Wok Tip

3:49
Beautiful. Psh dinner dim sum doesn’t exist here, idk y tho cuz its fkin delicious need me a 24hr dim sum place
You said the word 鍋貼 in Mandarin instead of Cantonese!
鍋貼係廣東話唔係咁發音架，係咪撈亂左普通話呢
Yesssss I realised that's because our local restaurant calls it that even though they call everything else by their Cantonese name... haha thanks for pointing it out though :)
Wo Tip
So, time to revisit this one huh.
I'm 100-percent Cantonese
Your reactions to the dishes makes me laugh😂😂
Haha nice one!
Lo bak gou isn't carrot cake. It's turnip cake....
I guess you hear that a lot and it got annoying for you (or will get annoying) but you remind me of amazingphil
