Hi, welcome to ShuoshuoChinese 说说中文; my name is Shuo, I’m a native Chinese teacher living in Bangkok, Thailand, I’ve been teaching Chinese as a foreign language for seven years and I’m also a language learner.
In this channel, I will upload a weekly video, in which I talk about Chinese vocabulary, Chinese grammar, Chinese culture, Chinese stories with pinyin and the English translation for listening practice.
With my channel, you can easily start to learn and understand complicated Chinese grammar, sentence structure, and differences/nuances between similar Chinese words.
If you are a Chinese beginner, I’m planning to upload videos about what Chinese language is, how it differs from English, Chinese pronunciations, Chinese characters and Chinese stroke sequences and a mini Chinese course, (10 minutes per day), which can help you learn quickly and easily. Don’t miss it!
So, subscribe to my channel and start your Chinese learning journey!

i LOVE that you used academic research to illustrate the usage frequency of the different words, and commented on whether or not they aligned with your own experiences. that's excellent, would love to see more examples like these as they're both interesting and informative!

谢谢老师，我非常喜欢您的每一个视频，它们都很有用！
I feel like it's just the same as in English, you can say "But", "Though", "However", "Nonetheless" and etc. Really depends on you
feels like they can map to 但是，可是，但/可是呢，（但）不管怎么说
Hem-mâ = Not exactly such /not really =Amma= Ama
Ama=but=但是
Fakat=but=可是
Lâkin=but=但
velâkin=but=可是呢
Amma ve lâkin=but and but=但是和可是
Ancak=but=却 (but not only this)
Gerçi=Though
Her nasılsa /Ancak =However
Nasıl olsa / Her neyse = Anyhow
Her neyse / Yine de = Anyway
Yine de / Her şeye rağmen= Nonetheless
Her halükârda /Her durumda=in any case
Her durumda/ Her mevzûda = at all events
It doesn't depend on you, but each has a nuance and is used appropriately in different context. Losely, sure you can interchange.

I just finished talking to my language partner and was about to search for this topic when your video popped up in my notification bar! 😂
She happens to read minds around the globe from Thailand

hahah me too quite confused, when i noticed that danshi often used in political interview or formal interview
@@ezmill4121 good to listen to news and interviews
Thank you 老师, this was extremely helpful!! 😁 Could you consider doing a video about the differences between 左右 - 差不多 - 几乎 - 大概 - 大约? I can't seem to find a good explanation anywhere 😪
This is the best explanation about these I’ve heard so far. I’ll listen to this several more times. Thanks for your work!!🙏🙏🙏
well done! I am a native speaker of Chinese and was wondering the difference between these words myself, you made it much easier even for me. good job.
我已经学汉语学了两年了， 我学时 "说说中文" 真的很帮我。我特别感谢您 !
我告诉妈妈我找到工作了，她却没有那么开心
我已经到了，可是他却还没来了

ShuoShuo I'm not sure if you remember me, I'm the English teacher from one of your recent videos on things to say instead of 很好.
I just have one question...
ARE YOU PSYCHIC???
I was literally just wondering about these differences too 😭 you are a life saver!
却 feels like it could be the most similar to "however" in application.
Makes sense, "however" we use after the noun and before the verb. They're very similar.
I was having a mental breakdown about this subject a month ago. lol Thank you for this video! Also, I feel like based on the examples given, 然而 sounds more like 'however' in English. It's a rather formal way to say 'but'.
I love this topic. It's very useful for Mandarin learners.
I speak Mandarin fluently but I don't have a formal Chinese education. I learned it from my Chinese roommates for 2 years.
Lia……we are so sorry you’re dealing with this. Watching this made me cry so hard, because I grew up with that kind of closeness with family, that kind of need for seeing each other with some regularity because hearing that they’re okay isn’t enough, and just telling them that you’re okay isn’t enough for you either. And there are so many people who will see this expression from you and genuinely feel just a little bit less alone, and hurt a little bit less, because now they know that if someone was brave enough to put this online, there are so so many people who are going through it and can derive just a little bit more strength from that.
Ni hao! I'm so glad I found this channel! I'm trying to learn Chinese and this is most certainly the best learning channel that I've found so far. The teacher speaks very clearly, and repeats word by word each sentence. She's a very good teacher.
I very much want to visit China! but I will only go when I can have at least a basic conversation with the people.
⭐❤⭐
This was perfect. With data to back up claims and all. Really neat. Thanks
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A VIDEO ABOUT 却 ！！！！ Thank you so much!!!! :)
I appreciate this video so much Shuo! An unresolved question for some time now, and I have been asking my friends around about it. All they do is give me examples. 😂 Thanks for explaining the "why's", for me, it always work if I know the reasons behind certain usages! Thanks for the effort you did in putting this video together! 💪👏😍
Love your explanation, thank you ❤️
Wow, so detailed! Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much Shuo! You’ve saved from practicing using buguo too often!! Much appreciated :)
That was a great explanation of the nuances of use and meaning.

This is the clearest explanation I hv heard for these words. Tq
love your explanation ,thank you so much!
很有帮助!谢谢你啊
English has many words meaning "but" which are all used in different situations and formalities, just like the list of words in this video, for example: however, whereas, while, even if, although, on the other hand. English students love using "but" because it's quick and simple, like 但是, and it's usually the first word we come across while studying. I think the trick would be to connect each Chinese word to an equivalent English word/phrase based on the context, keeping in mind that we can always use "but/但是" anyway. This would make learning these words easier. ☺️
Great video. Thanks for making such great lessons at this level! Excellent lesson content and teaching style!
always so simple and clear
love your videos! always very well explained and you are also a very light hearted person, thanks!
Finally I got it! Thank you 🙏🏻
This video is so precious! I have an HSK 5 but still found it difficult to understand the difference between these words. Thanks to you now is much more clear!
i kept noticing the different uses of "but" and couldn't work out why/ what made the difference in use - thanks so much for the video!! really helpful, also thank you for using beginner friendly phrases!
Always really well put together explanations of Chinese grammar points
illuminating and nicely explained. thank you
I liked the way you used your hands to illustrate the contrast between the terms- clever !
I get really happy when i hear the word interchangeable 😂
just find your channel , you are such a good tutor
Perfect shuolaoshi! ❤
Thanks... I'm familiar with the first group, but haven't heard the other 2 very much so far. I'll be listening for them from now on!
Perfect channel
So good. Many thanks!
我告诉妈妈我找到工作了，妈妈却还不信我。十分有用的视频，加油！
Great video, thanks for the knowledge
Love from BKK😘
I suck at grammar so much but you explained this flawlessly, thank you.
Thank you so much!
超好乐！ 说说 老师 你 太 迷人 乐！ ❤
Great lesson! 谢谢！
Also this is completely unrelated but some of the example sentences made me think of it: recently every time I say “我想” in Chinese I immediately want to say “我想带一人回云深不知处...带回去，藏起来。” As for why...if you know, you know. 😂😉
~:~
谢谢🥰
Thanks. I subscribed fast after this video:)
谢谢您。
I understand 100% thanks great teacher
I love your ways of explaining, so comprehensive 但是 intelligible.
first block: how to link phrases with different meaning. seconf block: how to friendzone in Chinese. taking notes, thanks a lot Shuò!
你很聪明啊。讲得很清楚啦
Amazing video!! Thanks for the explanation!! By the way, there are also other words such as 倒是 and 无奈, is there any difference from 但是 too?
Great 👍
100k soon. 老師❤️🇰🇭
谢谢老师!
我曾听我的老师解释过这件事，可一直不明白。现在听您解释的就明白了。😂
很棒！
To be absolutely accurate, only dan(shi) can link two noun or adjective phrases, while the other two ones can only link two "verbal phrases" or "clauses" (Chinese is more vague or, say, different, in syntaxic terminology, but still it's not perfect to say that only sentences can be linked using keshi or buguo, although it's a practical and understandable way to express the idea).

Thanks perfect I'd been wondering about 不过, they say it all the time in Three Kingdoms but Duolingo only taught me 但是. To me the 60 degree difference you mentioned with 不过 is like the advisor doesn't want to contradict their lord, but (不过) they use 不过 to add a clarification or concern
Chinese is such an amazing language!!! I used to be embarrassed about it like a lot of other Asian diaspora living in Anglo Saxon/American countries....now i'm trying to learn it
Also!What is your country I´M from Brazil.
@@arthurcosta9482 I'm from United States 😬
If you're learning the language I'm overjoyed, it's really amazing and increasingly useful in the future, that's for sure!
@@supahsmashbro I HATE your country but you look beautiful, tell me most Americans love the US? And why, being such a Nazi country and in mid-2020-2021, was there the anti-Asian bombing of Atlanta and the death of George Floyd?
@@arthurcosta9482 Yes you're complete right. America sucks ass. Violent, racist country where everyone's tax dollars goes to bombing others. A plutocracy and an oligarchy. But America has the best propaganda in the world, by far, so people are STILL slow to recognize how terrible this place is
@@supahsmashbro Here the oligarchy and plutocracy is Worse but no one expects SO MUCH NAZISM in the 15th most developed country and Biggest economy in the WORLD! Hey, answer me why Americans didn't want to leave the US or hate their country?

Ran'er seems to be more logical as the intended interpretation of "but" is to link similar, but opposite components of the same subject.
The good and bad movies someone was in was an excellent example.
Sometimes "but" may seem different.
When it is actually the same context.
"I like icecream, but I also like apple pie"
Current subject = food
Though (food) is not directly mentioned.
Previous subject = a movie star .
The "movie star" IS directly mentioned.
I need to study the contexts a bit more.
It seems a lot like there, their, and they're in English.
Exact same sound. Different meaning when written, though.
Learning to speak is easier than learning to read......😭
Thank you for the video
You are an excellent teacher.
So close to 100k!!!
Excellent presentation! As for the frequency table not correlating with your personal experience, this could have been sloppy research by whoever made that chart.
Such a fun video 😄, I'll just use Ganshi for safety
I always try to find equivalent terms: are these good, or are they wrong?
可是 perhaps, however,
但是 but
不过 however
却 despite
然而 and naturally
Just want to add, the phrase "然而/ran er “ might be similar in meaning to all the other phrases in this video, it sounds a bit formal for daily conversations, I'd say it's more appropriate in a written context/discourse.
I want to mention that 然而 is a adverb, it can be put in the begining of a sentence, and is translated as “howerver".
原来我学英语，主持人也说得这么简单？
看来我得更努力学习了
一起加油
晚上好🥰🥰
我告诉妈妈我找到工作了，妈妈却开心不起来。
我已经到了，可是他却甚至没出去。
我想出去玩，不过天气很差。
我非常想成功，但是却这是并不简单。
Thank you for such an informative video!
So I guess think of 但是 and 可是 as “but it just so happens that…” and 不过 can be thought of as “on the other hand”

Xiong Laoshi,
Can you clarify the difference between nu peng you vs nuyou? Are they the same? For example, wo yijing you nu peng you le = wo yijing you nuyou le???
In Singapore they use but for but, in Indonesia we use " tapi" ( but in Indonesian) :)
In Cantonese it's the opposite, Danshi were used the most than the other two, you would never hear any body that lives around Guangdong area say Keshi, it's either Danshi and Buguo.
你好. 这次我第一次看你的视频，很感兴趣。可是有一地方我听不懂，因为我是越南人，还有我的英语不太好。你能不能做sub吗？谢谢你

Not only you're right to disagree about the fact that 但是 is used less frequently than 不过 in daily conversation. I personally also find very hard to believe that 可是 is used more often than 但是. Scientific data sometimes are...well, not always to believed completely.
在中国普通话与北方方言中，“但是”一词既可用于书面语，也可用于口语。根据我的个人经历，在口语中其词频应高于“可是”。不知视频中所显示的数据是否已过时，还是搜集者受其他地区方言的影响。反正，视频制作者根据自己的体验否定数据是非常正确的。
The way you’re describing it, it sounds like 不过 is more like “although” than “but”.
I think the way you describe 却 it sounds like it’s used like “instead”?
Then what if I use 但是 and 卻 together?
example: 我昨天買的外套，裏面破了一個洞，但是店員卻不讓我退還。
Is the 卻 here function differently?
我长大在中国 但我都分不清这几个词有什么区别 I grown up in China but I even can’t tell what the differences between these words.
I'm confused about you saying 却 comes before a verb (with exception of some word like 已经, but then you made the example of "他很好，却一个朋友都没有” which is a sentence structure with which I would have hsed 但是. So I'm not quite sure why that sentence is still right?
At 6:41 we have "却一个朋友也没有" which seems perfectly natural to me.
But it doesn't follow the rule that 却 should appear before a verb (such as 没有 ) or adverb (such as 也), and not before a noun (such as 一个朋友).
However, 一个朋友也没有 ("doesn't have a single friend") seems like such a fixed construction to me, that there is nowhere to put the 却.
Perhaps using 甚至 would be more correct (but less natural):
他很好, 但甚至一个朋友却没有 ("He's very nice, yet doesn't even have one friend")
感觉“可是”也带点现实和期待有所不同的情况
hello everybody

先谢谢你们哦
I usually use DanShi, i just like how it sounds ☺️☺️☺️

作为中国人，我用“但是/但”的次数最多。不管是用于口语还是书面语。
@@taoenguan4769 Ni hao TaoTao. :) That's good to know. I have also been told this by my online Chinese class website, but you never know whether or not what you are learning is what real Chinese use. Thank you for your comment! Tai xie xie ni le!!!
@@taoenguan4769 我用最多的是不过哎😂
11:03 i would have spontaneously said 之前 instead of 以前， is that correct too? (and yeah i tend to speak a bit less sloppy-informal ^^)
erm, i think u meant to write "ye yan Guo" since u said it so, the hanzi state so, and the sentence logically implies so :x
Hey shuoshuo, this is off topic, but can you help me correct this sentence if I'm wrong, 雅加达市政府进行公共血清检测后发现，被检测为呈阳性的居民有大量地增加。Thanks
So, the way I understand it, the short version for German speakers would be:
可是，但是， 不过 = aber
却 = doch
然而 = allerdings/jedoch
where is your school in bangkok? I want to apply for classes
I feel like 却 translates well as yet for me. Using the examples of when the reality doesn't fit the expectations really points this out.
He's a great person, yet he doesn't have any friends. This sounds natural.
You are a nice person, yet I already have a boyfriend. Here, yet sounds awkward and though I would understand, but or however would definitely be more natural sounding.
But yet I already have a bf? 😆
@@ninoslanguagejourney6002 but, you included but. So that makes it sound more natural. Lol And I think this way makes it sound a bit different than just saying, but i have a boyfriend. Like the person may be being a bit rude, or may be may be disappointed by the fact they already have a boyfriend and this guy is so great. Like you're a nice person, but yet I have a boyfriend, dammit. Lol.
@@dalfireasha Well not everything has to be translated literally 😂 I just see it as a way to memorize the sentiment behind it. It's like how there will never be a satisfying translation for 加油 in English and it will always frustrate me that in chinese dramas they translate it to "fight" 🤣
So If I get this right: The dànshì group is more a "but", meanwhile "què" is used as "however"?
Yeah, basically ☺️ That's what I understood, anyway. I think nuance/context is important in languages so I really like how this video explains some of these subtle differences. I'd say the first group is more akin to "but" and the second group is more like "however, whereas, while, even though/even if" which deal with totally opposite situations.
I've also noticed something else while watching Chinese TV dramas; the use of "不过" tends to be softer. I checked this subtly with a couple of Chinese friends and they seem to agree. 🤔☺️
Que is more like surprisingly
Hello❤️☺️
