Yup Im from New Zealand and lived in Brazil for a year. When I returned my bestie went to Portugal and I kid you not I could barely understand ber European portuguese. It sounded like Ukrainian or Russian 😂😂😂
in my mandarin, they taught us the beijing dialect, but my teacher was taiwanese, so i end up using both vocabularies (that being said i don’t talk about trash or potatoes that often lol)
It’s the same dialect (the variation of mandarin spoken in the urban area of Beijing) with slightly different vocabularies, and the majority of Taiwanese people speak it with an accent (Hokkien and Hakka influence). It’s similar to how the standard variation of the Korean language in North and South Korea are both based on the Seoul/Gyeonggi-do dialect - just with slightly different vocabularies.
Mandarin is a language with different dialects, and what is displayed here is not even the difference between dialects, but difference between two versions of standard Mandarin. There are other Chinese languages that are not dialects of Mandarin, such as Hokkienese (spoken mostly in Fujian and Taiwan), Wu (spoken in Shanghai and adjacent regions), Cantonese, etc. Even though they are sometimes categorized as "dialects", they are really independent languages that are mutually unintelligible with Mandarin and with each other.
Chinese is split by language groups then dialects within those and then local dialects within that.......there's about 7 to 10 language groups with mandarin being 63% or so
Mandarin is a language branch of the Sinitic language family, so it has lots of dialects. Cantonese, Wu and Jin language are actually different languages by linguistic definition
@@user-qg8kc8ft5n it depends on which part of China are you from. Lots of people from southern China use 馬鈴薯 or 洋山芋 while 土豆 is more commonly used in northern China😁

@@jianxiongRaven Chinese people always want to be the number one that's why they forced their children to study so much,the point is they are very ambitious.
I usually say the word "standard" in Chinese as "标准 (biāozhǔn)." 水平 (Shuǐpíng) usually is referring to someone's level, as in their status level in society or it can even refer to a person's level of education background. When I hear people say a person has a low "水平(shuǐpíng)," they're usually referring to that person has a low IQ or lack of proper education/mannerism. That's just how I interpret it from observing other people's daily usage, though.
Nonetheless no one says 水平 in Taiwan, if it's the level of your language for example, Taiwanese people say 程度 (degree), while 水準 is like standard of living (生活水準)
Do you study simplified Chinese or traditional Chinese？The Chinese language in Taiwan does have some different vocabulary from the Chinese language in our mainland.
I’m confused cause I use both vocabularies depends whether I wanna sound formal or not, and I’m born n raised Chinese,起司 脚踏车 水准 etc ist just more formal
And also the most accurate translate for Standard is neither, it’s 标准， 水准and水平all had different meanings. Shuǐ zhǔn typically refers to a water standard or criterion, while "shuǐ píng" can mean water level or water standard. In the context of "standard" as a general concept, "标准" is the most accurate translation. So know I doubt their proficiency in Chinese 😂, and their English

Good choice in relationship decision ❤ But as far as I'm concerned, both pronunciation and words are both China's Taiwan vs China's mainland and both are just from different parts of China
I studied Mandarin in university and they taught me everything with a northern accent so when I met my Taiwanese husband and heard him say 牛肉 I was so confused.

Woah my mom is from Taiwan and I have a dual citizenship there that awsome
When I went to Taiwan I had no idea what le se was for the longest time I thought it was just art
I was use zenmen and the kids would have no idea what I was saying
How interesting! I knew because of Hokkien and Hakka many Taiwanese spoke far differently than Chinese, but I never would've thought their Mandarin dialects would be so different!
you two are so cute for some reason.❤
My chinese ass got even more confused as to what to use whether it be mandarin which I learnt in school or Fujian 🙃 which I used at home.
Doesn’t matter. Chinese understands Taiwanness’s vocabulary
LOVE ❤️ YOUR LANGUAGE. IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
In Singapore, we used China and Taiwan Chinese plus a little Malay in it.
Minha familia por parte de mã é paraguaia e eu sou brasileiro, adoro aprender mais dessa lígua e cultura
真的好喜欢你们这样的组合
I am conflicted because when I speak Mandarin for cheese I say
Qi sī but with potato I say Tu doù 😭
土豆在台語是花生 但我們也用中文說花生
起司isn‘t necessarily taiwanese，so you are not conflicted. not every one from china/taiwan/or where else you are from uses the same words，it is very normal
Good choice in relationship decision ❤
But as far as I'm concerned, both pronunciation and words are both China's Taiwan vs China's mainland and both are just from different parts of China
My dad is from Taiwan but I grew saying la ji, tu dou, shui ping. Although we do say jiao ta che rather than the Chinese ver.
When your parents are from each of Taiwan and China so you learned both of the different words:
tw is china
I studied Mandarin in university and they taught me everything with a northern accent so when I met my Taiwanese husband and heard him say 牛肉 I was so confused. The lack of the hard "R" sound and it being replaced by an "L" sound was baffling a bit. I now speak Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent since that's all I hear from my in laws, hubby, and kids now lol
Omg pineapple凤梨 and 菠萝🍍💀
And then in Singapore/Malaysia, 黄梨
actually they are different 同科不同種
不 凤梨和菠萝是不同品种的水果，在大陆这两种词语都有使用，并不是差异化用语
@@goldkwi I think its cuz of the dialects.
Mandarin was afterwards slowly adapt de
In the UK we learnt the standard Beijing Mandarin, so all the Taiwanese versions are very new to me.
還有番茄和西紅柿🤣
不好意思 大陆起码一半人是讲番茄的😂。
I didnt know its a tw/cn thing though. I just thought chinese just has variations. N i just realise my chinese is closer to tw... when im frm sg.. half the time i have not heard the cn version. Tats interesting. Do more of these vids!
Exactly it’s more like a southern/northern Chinese thing.

Do you know
Interesting：potato（马铃薯and土豆）also is called “洋芋” in chinese some places😂
When you're from Singapore with a mother from northeast Mainland China you hear and grow up with literally all of these
“That’s sound like boobies” I love this 😭
Video: 影片、視頻
視頻 is channel though
@@twt3269 Nah, channel is 頻道

I’m from Guangzhou and I speak a mix of both lol. I mainly speak canto tho
i'd love to see these people's families meet
I’m a dumb American. I just know enough spanish to get the gist of conversations and know a little French 😂
Shuizhun水准and shuiping水平 are actually having different meaning. And used differently.
Of course your examples different. Because it’s 水準
水准 is simplified Chinese for 水準
and 水平 does mean standard sometimes
ex:生活水平(Standard of living)
while in Taiwan we say 生活水準
Left turn, right turn. Taiwan: zuo zhuan you zhuan. Chinese: zuo guai yo guai
In Singapore most words are the closer to Taiwan version except we say la ji (trash) so that one is the same as China. I think we use a combination of both haha
Y’all literally couple goals😭😭😭😭
I’m from the mainland so I say the same things that Kevin says but I have always thought Taiwanese accent and way of saying certain things to be sooooo cute and adorable
Like literally imagine the meanest looking bully talking in a Taiwanese accent that would rly crack me up😂😂
Also Taiwanese girls tend to sound super duper cute and girly and feminine with Taiwanese accent whereas I legit sound like a rough guy with my accent🥲
