you prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me!
Absolutely true! As mandarin is my native language, but studying in UK. I experienced most of the situation you mentioned. Those words we couldn't learn from book but it is all observation and daily life conversion.
口語的 SiFu，在中文可以是1）師傅，2）師父。 「師傅」較正確的翻譯是： a skillful technician，craftsman，artisan， mechanic。「師」意思是 Teacher。 而「師父」是 teacher＋father。Teach like a father. 是老師與學生，老師與徒弟的關係，父與子 的關係。
You mentioned that Americans normally don’t mention weight in the video, and I agree with it so much. There are so many questions that are rude to ask in the US but not in China, such as asking people’s weight, age, and salary. Chinese people likes to call out people 你最近胖了, but Americans normally don’t say that unless they just want to mess around with someone. Another weird topic/question that is hard to ask in the US is to ask about someone’s ethnicity/race. Asking people if you are Chinese/Iris/Jewish/British in the US sometimes can offend someone. For example, my boyfriend who was born in the US but his parents are Taiwanese considered himself an American because he has been living in the States his whole life, but it’ll be kind of annoying when people try to ask where he is from just because he looks Asian. So far I have figured the best way to ask about someone’s ethnicity is that “what’s your background?” Or “what’s your ethnicity?” Or even “where are your parents from?”. And this is something I have never learned in China before. Hopefully Mike老师 can make a video related to this for Chinese students who will study abroad.
When a US-born Asian responds to the question of "Where are you from?" with "I'm from California", the next question is usually "Where are you really from?"
@@perfectstudents8361 so annoying. I don't know if people realize that. When someone asks me where I am from when I am in the US or on a cruise sailing out of a US port, I tell them I am from New York. When abroad I tell them I am American, New York, Manhattan's Chinatown if they persist in the questioning. Someone who I didn't know actually asked me if I were Oriental. I told him it was politically incorrect to describe people as Oriental because only objects are. I say make sure you don't do that again as it is offensive. I look Asian and I am Asian. Unbelieveable.
The Chinese really love to ask your age and salary. That is so annoying. I would try to deflect and they are relentless. So I tell them, in American culture it is considered rude to ask such personal questions, so I will not be answering you.
@@michellewu80 We can't impose our culture or habits on other people. Often some people have a good intention but don't know what is offensive or not. Instead of lecturing them or getting angry, explain it to them, or just avoid the questions or ignore it.
@@perfectstudents8361 no I don't get angry. I told him the facts in an "as a matter of factly" tone. Words can only be interpreted with tone. Same words spoken with different tones denote completely different sentiments which one cannot pick up in the written word.
From my experience, I used to be taught in China to use “handsome” to describe a guy 很帅. After living in the US, I notice native Americans actually don’t use “handsome” that much. Instead, they often just say this guy is good-looking 或者 hot 或者 attractive.
@@weiwendaly3945 Girls describe guys as cute all the time. Specifically, "cute" when talking about guys refers to the fact that the guy has a nice smile and good hair, and is well-groomed. It's not cute in the same way as girls.
@@JohnnyLi0932其实是 "like". 很多人都会说 "it's like" "it's kinda like" "like, you know" "Imma like" Eg, I was like, arguing with brad. He was like, really pissed. He's like, cursing at me. So, I went like … Then he's like, don’t you talk to me like that. Then he went like, did this weird thing, like, he's gonna like, you know, like, attack me or something. I like, ran really fast, like, imma let him like, attack me like that.
Normally I don't see native speakers of English refer to tasty food as fragrant, but I do see that occasionally. For example, I once watched a video about Martha Stewart showing people how to make buttermilk biscuits, where she described the dough as fragrant.
(second note) Last night, I was talking with my family about the use of master,, covering the word of SHI-FU. We came to the conclusion that mentor may be the closest word in English, though we may not call a mentor directly, just as we don't call our teacher Teacher Mike. Instead, we call you Mr. Mike. Interestingly, TH-cam fed me your video this morning. What a coincident.
I am Malaysian. We often use abbreviations to refer a city. eg: KL= Kuala Lumpur 吉隆坡 KK= Kota Kinabalu 亚庇 JB= Johor Bahru 新山, probably influenced by most of the English native speakers:- UK= United Kingdom US= United States of America
I've definitely heard many people say KL before but I didn't know that method was used for other areas as well there as well. In the USA we only have NYC and LA.
@@yoochin6568 Sure, it's fine to use. No problem. I meant that some Chinese learners tend to use it in situations where there are more authentic phrases than 马马虎虎. For example, when someone says, "最近咋样？” Instead of saying 马马虎虎， you could say, 还好吧/还行吧/老样子, etc.
LOL, all these are valid points. Just recently I helped one chef TH-camr’s wrong word choice of “fragrant”. Maybe you want to add something like how native speakers say their address numbers and other daily terms that Chinese tend to say it the Chinglish way😀.
Hi, Mr. Mike. Congrats for your new setting. I've noticed that the date is the 20th of March--the first day of 2021 by horoscope calendar. So bless your business for the new year. There is a project started on the same day in my family, too. We are excited. (first note)
3:08 I think the main thing is that to the Chinese mind there isn't much of a difference between different types of abbreviations, and capitalization is also not a factor in the Chinese language. An "app" - neither "APP" nor "App" - is a small, specialized application for use on a mobile device platform, as a derivative of the word "application". Ugg boots were invented by Tasmanian lumberjacks, using sheepskin with fleece still on but on the inside of the boots, so it is a word itself. "Master" is actually a way to address a small boy with respect.
If you want to sound local, most people I know never really used "it's alright", we all use 'is/it's aight" or just "meh" To use "boss" it depends on the setting, when I used to help out at my parents restaurant, people, the regulars, would greet me with "hey boss". Or sometimes when I'm dinning out, the wait staff would say "what can I get you, boss". At a local business, not at high end restaurants. Rule of thumb, at a formal setting, always present yourself formally.
Chinese like to call people in management level or a company owner “x總“ even though they might not be management or boss. In English, most people in a company are in a first name basis.
Minor correction, unless they have known each other and on a first name basis, people normally do not address their titles, but they still address them formally as Mr/Ms Last Name.
This reminded me that western reporters love to used the word miscalculation instead of misjudgement , it would be sound a lot better if they used misjudge, I think they did that on purpose.
Good content. I found myself had those problems when I just started to speak English, e.g. I was struggling with finding English words for auntie/uncle. For now, I found people a bit stranger saying auntie/uncle, even with so-so. 😅
Hey, Mike. Thanks a lot for this amazing sharing. But here's what I see: In the class with native speakers, i actually hear they use "my name is..." very often in their self-intro😂
When you said "so-so" is overused and other similar phrases could be learned, as an English teacher in China, I immediately thought of "usually" in spoken English and "besides" in essays. I hear usually so much, some curriculums I teach really emphasize usually, and I have proofread a lot of essays where they use "besides" to connect thoughts, rather than rotating phrases like, "also," "in addition to...," "On the other hand," "additionally," or other phrases like that. I am still looking for the person who decided "usually" and "besides" are the best words for those situations.
Hi Mike, thanks for your sharing! I like watching your Channel. May i know if it is common to use "this is Kate" to introduce myself ? And what is the difference between using "this is Kate" and "I'm Kate"? thanks !
Mike: I have to say it, you are wrong, there are different usages for the Northern part and the southern part of China. For the southern part (ex: Hong Kong, Macao, and Guangdong), For Females: only the close relative, we then call aunt/auntie, same as for Male we call Uncle. For others, we call her sister(female) or brother(male). 邁克：我不得不說，你錯了，中國北方和南方有不同的用法。 南方（如：港澳粵），女性：只有近親，我們叫阿姨，男的叫叔叔。 對於其他人，我們稱她為姐姐（女）或哥哥（男）。

感谢麦克老师！觉得只有精通中文环境的外国母语老师给的用词更地道！受教了！👍
懂中文的美国人当老师教英语是最好的,因为他知道这两种语境下的不同表达方式
其實在中文對話中，也會避免使用胖子、肥仔，這種帶有體態歧視的字眼去稱呼陌生人，通常只有在好友之間才會開玩笑。順帶一提，如果對象是很瘦，用肥仔、胖子稱呼朋友，有時候是表示對方很能吃、但都沒有吸收（不知道吃去哪兒了），來開玩笑，而對方因為很瘦，所以不太會覺得自己被歧視，反倒增加朋友間的情趣。

关于So so，可能就像外国人over use “马马虎虎”，外国人超喜欢用马马虎虎，而中国人也用，但不是那么常用。
其实so so 老外也极少用，他们真正说的是kind of. 所以马马虎虎，其实应该是我们说的“ 大概，大约' 吧。
