Mandarin is nowhere as hard as Cantonese though. In mandarin you have the four tones and the silent tone but in Cantonese you have nine tones and I cannot name you which nine, and I’m a native speaker lol. Speaking fast only works when you get the sound right but not in Sheldon’s case. He pronounced “zi” as any English speaker who doesn’t know Chinese would. But the part when he said “xia si wo” (you scared me to death)... that was spot on
@@randomcon123 pretty sure its only 6 and if you count to 6 they go through all 6 of em lol. I too didn't know about there being so many tones until a couple years back haha. Plus its not just the tone that makes cantonese hard its the sounds that just don't exist in english. Just say "me" in cantonese and see if that sound exists anywhere in english

I actually speak Mandarin and they're both equally terrible. Howard isn't actually using the tones, he's just speaking louder on certain words and quieter on others. I'm reminded of the scene where they mention Howard to the Chinese guy who says, 'oh yes, the little one who thinks he speaks Chinese.' To be fair, it typically takes about two years of study to really *get* the tones.
"Carbon nanotubes" are not only tiny, it's also almost 100 times as expensive as titanium. Additionally they are far more brittle in the -270c that is space, so no, Carbon Tubes is a shitty idea for the application...
Hydrogen embrittlement happens in titanium alloys too (like many metals). It’s just there’s no way to make bulk materials of carbon nanotubes, so they cannot support any daily objects mechanically by themselves alone although they have been applied to reinforced tennis rackets.
It's a shelf. It's very likely going to be used inside the spacecraft, where it's not -270c as you say. And if it's really a 100 times more expensive than Titanium then surely it must have properties or features that would make it so much more valuable. I don't know much about material science. I'm just picking on some tiny flaws in your comment. Please don't retaliate with a lot of names and numbers I can't comprehend.
I love how Sheldon was the one to cue to Leonard to address the audience after the insult when usually Sheldon is the one oblivious to social settings and interactions.

He meant to say "美的日子 = Good day" when Leonard came home. In the cafeteria he probably went for ”社会主义万岁 = long lives the communism“ but he instead said "长寿社会 = longevity society". After that he said "好滋味在里头 = tasty inside" but it sounds more like "猴子睡在里头 = monkey sleeping inside."
It's the same for me it's also like that on other shows like Modern Family when Alex spoke Chinese I couldn't understand what she was saying despite replaying it so many times but HIMYM was better when Barney spoke Chinese I could understand it a bit better
Right... that's the reason Sheldon even tries to learn Mandarin in the first place. To give feedback to the Chinese restaurant guy about the Tangerine Chicken
Nano tube isn't cheaper right now, and even if it's carbon fibre it's probably not gonna withstand the vibration during take off and landing, and titanium yield before it breaks rather than shatter so it's safer in a space shuttle
Considering that Sheldon accomplished just about nothing, before the final season when he won the Nobel price, that PhD at 16 was pointless.... sorry. You can't brag about being a superior mind if your achievements are equal to everyone else's 😒
That's untrue, winning an award doesn't make you any more intelligent. There are far lesser minds who made some sort of discovery. It's far harder to make a big discovery today than it was 100 years ago.

Sheldon does have a point. You shouldn’t ask why he’s doing the hand gestures but point out that the hand gestures are pointless and is a quirk of his. Also Mandarin, Chinese, Japanese, and many of the asian languages are just as difficult as english. there are as many words that mean different things in different contexts.

the no offense killed me LMAO
To be honest, although I can sort of speak Chinese, I can barely understand what Sheldon was saying due to the strong accent 😂
He was speaking in Mandarin not Cantonese but his pronounciation was way off.
He meant to say "美的日子 = Good day" when Leonard came home. In the cafeteria he probably went for ”社会主义万岁 = long lives the communism“ but he instead said "长寿社会 = longevity society". After that he said "好滋味在里头 = tasty inside" but it sounds more like "猴子睡在里头 = monkey sleeping inside."
