@@NirodimosNeedAKing Pro tip: It's Jiă bà buāi, meaning: “how are you?” (which can sometimes also be used as a “hello”), but also literally means “Have you eaten?” As to why "have you eaten" translates to "how are you", I don't know. You'd need to ask Moses that directly.
its funny that you're asking her about the dialect and shes answering, then a minute into it, it dawns on here you're speaking mandarin, then she asks lol! good stuff man. keep it coming :)
She has an amazing personality! I hope you were able to get her number. Dad was sure WOKing the heck out of those vegetables and listening to the conversation like a Ninja.. Lmao
He is married. At one point he said "someone is trying to become a concubine" to his father. Which is a woman who lives with a man but is lower status than his wife/ wives.
you know the more i watch your videos is the more accustom my ears have become to the sound of the mandarin language. i find myself understanding more and more of the conversations. it almost as if my ears are picking them out and my brain is writing the words in
It's actually pretty amazing how our brains can pick up patterns of speech and formalize words we don't know the meanings of. You're making vague categories of related words and phrases so later, if you choose to take a class on mandarin, you're "storing" the words you learn in the structure you've created from watching these videos. Fun fact :)
I mean if you think about it thats all that babies and children do in the first place, parents just keep repeating shit at them until it makes sense, infact its probably easier now as an adult since you have a language to go back to for reference when listening
This is literally the first video of his that I ever saw and I thought it was so cool to see people’s reaction to him speaking Chinese. I’m gonna miss your videos so much Laoshu 😢
@@cosmicworld5665 that is beacuse he was speaking to them in hindi which they probably dont know or know less than moses, there language is tamil which moses only knew "welcome" and "are you tamil"
@@cosmicworld5665 Wrong. As a matter of fact most Tamilians only understand Hindi to a limited extent since it isn't spoken much in that region. Coupled with the fact that his Hindi is still in its beginning stages and his pronunciation was off at times. That's why they responded the way they did.

@@toxendon I think you miss the bus. bishplis was making a joke due to his previous comment about the 30% of population. You seem to be stern with your fact reply.
i met a guy in China playing PUBG who spoke pretty good english. we became friends and ive been helping him with all the slang, and common ways to say things in english while were playing . And i ve been slowly learning mandarin thru us playing together with his friends. but everytime i re-watch a video i find im able to understand more and more without looking at the subtitles. its really encouraging because ive been activly studying Japanese, and had zero intention to learn mandarin untill i became decent in Japanese. but somhow i find myself able to remember more and in better deitail thru me and my friend playing PUBG, VS me and my friend just talking in Japan World in VR-Chat.
At some point you stop counting, and doesn't make sense to add years. I learned German for 2 years, then I was living between 2 countries, South Africa and Germany. Never opened a book or actively studied German after that. I averaged about 3 months in germany each year, but at times I'd have long stretches where I wasnt going to Germany at all for 12+ months a stretch. 7 years later, I still say I learned German for 2 years. When you don't care much for the language anymore...
Man, that 3rd person level up recording was really refreshing. It’d be great to see more level-up videos from an outside perspective. Mejor de verdad amigo .
