as an arabic speaker, this was kinda of a hard watch ngl 😭 even with the muslim and arabs episodes the girls that were casted were mostly clueless or lacked the proper language acquisition to fully explain or deliver their points so it’s very disappointing every time..
This is a layman's talk, don't expect too much, underline it.
for real i was so angry
Completely agree. When she said that object nouns in Arabic are not gendered, i realised that it was going to be a slow death…
Having a native Arabic speaker to explain Arabic in English is wildly ambitious. She was massively out of her depth poo girl.
Yeah I believe that egyptian girl was the only one to somewhat have knowledge of what she was saying and even she could've explained things better
Yes, you right. It is not only that she doesn't know that much, but she delivers wrong information.
I noticed that in many of her videos.
A Native Arabic speaker here, No offense to Dareen, i'm not trying to be rude or anything but she really isn't knowledgeable about the language or knows the right terminology & how to explain things, so i'll point out a few things:
7:33 we do have words that have double meanings and on the other hand multiple words for a single noun
for example love and friendship have too many words depending on the level of relationship or intensity of the feeling.
9:20 she's completely wrong! we do use fem & masc for both subjects and objects but the difference
is objects can only be either fem or masc
for example a car سيارة is fem and a door باب is masc.
15:08 here i want to point out that there's a sound & a name for each letter so this letter's sound is ع and it's name is عين in english "Ain" thats why an N sound can be heard.
16:00 what she meant is we have similer looking letters but if we add dots or take them off we make up new letters like Q & O
in english if you take the stick out of the q it becomes an o
idk if this makes sense but i tried explaining 🤷♀
I think she knows about the language, but because of her limited knowledge in Korean and English language she misunderstood and know only limited answers
You explained it very well, Thanks.
I’m Mexican (native Spanish speaker), but I have taken a few lessons of Arabic and I do understand the basics and what you explained makes more sense to me. I do think that she did her best trying to do it but because her limited English she misunderstood or explained wrongly some things.
@@VentoRyder Yeah exactly, she explained it wrong too, her english isn't that good from what i can hear
Please try to make sense of what she said around 3:05 ... Like, Latin the language "came" from the Arabic language? The Latin script "came" from the Arabic script? Either way it doesn't make sense to me 🤔🙄 What was she thinking exactly.
@@leontnf6144Probably just some nationalist misinformation from her country, Latin doesn’t come from Arabic.
She made a mistake when she said that in Arabic we do not have feminine and masculine words. For example, the word table "طاولة" in Arabic is a feminine word.
True but what she meant is that we dont switch objects to two categories feminine and masculine
Therefore objects in arabic can either be feminine or masculine depending on the root of the word and its creation history
طاولة
Can only be feminine never masculine same for
قمر
It is masculine and can never be feminine
So objects can just be classified and defined as masculine or feminine but this doesnt matter fir a foreigner who wants to learn the language
they should only know what they need to differentiate between a male and a female when speaking to a person infront of them in the language cause thats what matters the most
Objects can be memorized so the way to speak to people is harder in those terms
خطاء ، سياره . طائرة. دبابه . كلها تنتهي بحرف هـ او ت مربوطه مو يعني أنها مؤنث 😂
@@msn9033الا مؤنثه! لان لما تقول سياره جميله (لان كلمه سياره مؤنثه) بينما ماتقدر تقول كرسي جميله لان الكرسي مذكر لذالك تقول كرسي جميل 😂 ارجع ذاكر لغه عربيه
خطأ وليس "خطاء"@@msn9033
The Arab girl, with all due respect, didn't explain well. We have genders for everything, and the plural is another story since the words change completely with different grammar rules (جمع مذكر/مؤنث سالم/جمع تكسير and more)
The same letter can make many sounds depending on the accents (التشكيل) so we can have the same word, which can be pronounced differently depending on their meanings.
The Yemeni girl is wrong, for objects we have different genders too, not only people
we also put subjects in phrases, like in "اسمي" the "ي" is like a subject
This is a layman's talk, don't expect too much, underline it.
Yes. She explained a lot of things wrong! 😅
Actually, this tells you how hard Ar abic grammar is. Random people cannot explain it. You need a professional like Arabic teacher to explain that stuff.
A native speaker has no idea about grammar
@@Nawaf-yeah lol she also said Latin comes from Arabic? Which is so wrong
@@m_-.430 omg. Yes she said that and I cried when I heard it! 😂 i’m Arab.
But… To be fair, maybe she meant Latin borrowed words from Arabic. Not originated from Arabic

I don’t think she was able to describe the Arabic language because she has limited English. Arabic has an alphabet, it’s just a matter of memorizing 28 letters. From then there are diacritics which represent which vowel sound goes with the consonant. It’s just a matter of reading the letters phonetically. Also, Arabic has roots to words kind of similar to English like how you can guess the meaning based on word structure. There are gendered objects and people in the language. There is a structure for conjugation of words as well depending on tense and the person like Spanish does.
Aren’t those diacritics that indicate vowels mostly just for beginers? I think they don’t use that with writing for adult natives
Generally you are right but technically no. They are part of the word and if you change the vowel you might be saying something completely different. Most readers understand which word is being said without the vowels based on the consonants and context and will appropriately fill in the vowels when speaking/reading. When it comes to reciting from the Quran for example the diacritics are extremely important and must be pronounced perfectly, in regular speech if you mispronounce it people will know you are not a native speaker.
Another thing, like the Arabic speaker said in the video, Arabic has tons of words many are synonyms but vary slightly based on context. An example being we have 300+ words for a lion *though we only use a couple.* Each having a different poetic/literary meaning attached such as power, courage, or predator. Some words mean two or more things at once like how wind can also mean love. Our phrases also have historical and poetic context like a version of good morning can be directly translated as “morning of flowers”, or you can say “on my head” as a positive response to someone saying “can I have something from you?”
love your comment
@@moebro101on my noise as a saudi way 😂
I think the chinese guy and the Turkish girl know more Arabic than this girl 😭😭
9:19 Henry asked her if Arabic like fransh has masculine and feminine on subjects like table she said no! But the answer is YES for example table is feminine in arabic "tawila" it ends with "a" so usually it is feminine but there is no rules because "shams" which means sun is feminine too. Word like "osama" which means lion is masculine although it ends with a.
yes habibi and habibty 😂 theres different masc and fem for EVERY word
Not Chinese alphabet, not Chinese letters, they're Chinese characters, come on guys
Most languages in the world use an alphabet, and when learning English in school, we refer to its components as "letters." The word "character" exists in English but isn't necessarily associated with Chinese, especially for those learning English as an alphabetical language. The people in the video aren't being rude; they just don't know that association. For those whose native language isn't character-based, this distinction isn't obvious unless they have studied linguistic terminology or have an advanced understanding of the language. I'm saying this from experience as a linguist myself.
@lun3 Chinese uses Pinyin as their letter based aphlabet, which helps with the pronounation of the Chinese characters. I'm suprised this wasn't mentioned in the video.
@@JX-C right the Pinyin! it could've made things more understandable about learning Chinese if they mentioned it.
@@lun3 Yeah they should include Pin Yin letters how are those Chinese characters pronounced. it would be much easier once you know the 4 tones.
Both peeps are lacking knowledge fr, not able to smoothly correct others 💀💀💀
3:07 correction: Arabic and Latin have no relation whatsoever.
Many Arabic dialects and Romance languages have loanwords back and forth. And I guess Spanish has more loanwords from Arabic than the other direction combined, so she has a kernel of truth in there.
@@orbik_fin That only applies to Portuguese and Spanish. Which are derived from Latin. Latin however doesn't have at all much to do with Arabic, neither comes from the other. In fact, Latin is older than Arabic.
@@orbik_fin not at all, her statement was “Arabic comes from latin”. 100% wrong.
A lot of latin Word are from Arabic passed by italian, then french and spanish. Algodón, azúcar, Coffee, alcohol, magasin, abricot, jupe, aceite, aceitunas, álgebra, chiffres, zéro, zenith etc...
@@zetsu154no Arabic is one of the most ancient language such as araméen and syriaque.
Im not a native arabic speaker but i loved arabic since when l was young, but with watching, speaking ,listening, to cartoons channels in arabic like spacetoon etc, i was able to understand and speak arabic its all abt listening and speaking with ppl firstly, and im working currently with my eng language too. ^^
Where are u from?
As an Arab, I'll try to briefly explain what's difficult about Arabic:
1. "Herakat" (u, e, i, and more) are omitted in writing. You have to sort of "guess" when and what to pronounce depending on the word's position in the sentence. For example:
"He wrote" and "got written" are written exactly the same, but the pronunciation is very different.
He wrote = KTB (pronunciation = KeTeBe)
Got written = KTB (pronunciation = KuTiBe)
Those vowels are omitted in writing.
2. Sounds: Arabic has about 5 to 9 letters/sounds that are difficult to pronounce/produce for most foreigners.
3. Grammar is extremely complicated. A lot of words (not just nouns) are subject to pluralization AND masculine/feminine forms. The language is quite "mathematical", and many if not most Arabs can only speak in dialects with messed up grammar lol
On the other hand, Chinese, from what I understand has easy grammar, but the intonations and sheer number of characters are frightening!
it's Kataba not Ketebe isn't it? i'm Arab too and it's strange to me that you replaced الفتحة ( َ) with e
@MissEilia
Kataba would be كاتابا
The "Fet7a" sounds between A and E, but closer to E to my ear (but it's also similar to U as in "cut"'). And the letter "A" exists and not omitted in Arabic (الألف الممدودة)
E doesn't exist in Arabic as a letter.
@@MissEiliayeah the vowel is “a” not “e”. I have no idea why he used “e”.
Anyways, rest of comment is very well written so I’ll give him props.
أنت كعربي هلا أخبرتنا على عدد أزمنة الصرف في اللغات الأخرى مقارنة بالعربية. وهلا أخبرتنا كيف حرفا واحدا يختمل عدة أصوات بينما لا تجد في العربية أن لكل حرف صوت فقط . أسهل لغة هي العربية فلا تصدق هؤلاء القوم فأعلبهم فرضوا لغاتهم بالحديد والنار
This girl don’t remember Arabic yes we do use masculinity and feminine for objects too
I wish they brought a native arab that is actually very knowledgeable about arabic... sadly this girl isn't it
It's more about having fun knowing about differences in languages, they don't have to be SCHOLARS
@ Having fun while talking about false information about a language? sure enjoy
as an Arab I don't know about Chinese but I think ARABIC IS WAY EASIER if you start recognizing the templates in it, for example the template m__a_a usually is the name of a place , if u put the word D R S which means studied it would become MDRASA it means school , put K T B which means wrote and u get MKTABA meaning library , H K M meaning judged becomes MHKAMA and this means court of justice, a lot of Arabic words are structured like that and so if you memorize all the templates it's a very big step in understanding the context without really knowing the language
disagree on that. At least in Chinese the grammar, which causes the most problems in languages, is one of the easiest. Like the verbs being the same in every situation or the person having the same character.
As for Arabic, the grammar is the part what got me. Learning the alphabet is easy, but after that you seem to be stuck forever with the grammar, writing system and sentence building.
that's studying MSA or Fusha and add to that studying it in an academic way, if you were sitting with real Arab people hearing the language and trying to speak it, then you start hearing the patterns and differences people speak in, and it will start coming to you intuitively from there you can start learning grammers of MSA or classical Arabic , this is why I think learning colloquial Arabic first is much better than MSA, its easier and simpler and doesn't have the complexity of MSA also not a lot of people speak MSA vs dialects
@@selimtargildid you study a local dialect or the MSA ? Because i think that the dialects have a much easier grammar compared to MSA.
@@selimtargilwhat? R u ok i dunno both but when i tried arabic is super easier but thats ur Context but chinese korean all words how to write everything is hard the pronounciation is the hardest like u listen to English songs which r hard to understand words some
@sayonaragaming9071 well it's not apart from the alphabet like I said. The grammar is super hard and the fact you have 2 different styles of writing when it comes to gender makes it much harder. Personally, I would have it easier to learn Chinese in total than Arabic.
As an Indonesian Muslim, I think Arabic pronunciation is much easier. because the Islamic religious book (Quran) itself is in Arabic but is assisted by diacritics (harakat) to distinguish which letters are read A/I/U (in Quran there are no letters that are read E/O). and there are also lots of words in Bahasa Indonesia that are taken from Arabic. Even though many Indonesian Muslims have difficulty reading Arabic without diacritics, at least they can distinguish the letters just by looking at the dots.
In my opinion, it is different from the Muslims of Malaysia, Brunei and southern Thailand because they are used to writing Bahasa Melayu (Malay) with Arabic letters. so they will definitely be more fluent in reading Arabic words without diacritics
*edit: sorry in the Qur'an (maybe in Arabic too(?)) there are several letters that are read as O, such as:
خ : kho
غ : ghoin
ق : qof
ص : shod
ض : dhod
ر : ro
ط : tho
ظ : zho
(I wrote the romanization using standard Indonesian)
Some indonesia words related from arabic
Nope. The Arabic doesn’t have O sound. Only people from Java in some cases reads A as O such as Allah as Alloh. This pronunciation comes from Arab Jawi and has long story behind it.
I'd like to see people from Central Asia on this channel, their language and culture are very interesting.
Agree, they deserve more exposure. Hopefully they will invite more participants from those countries
There are so many people from Central Asia but korean channels still ignore their presence giving preference to europeans.
They don't consider africans, pacific islanders and central asians as world friends 😂
@ Yeah I rarely see dark skin toned people on this channel unforetunately.
Non-Europeanized Turks
3:06 Arabic like Hebrew and Aramaic is from the Afro-Asiatic (more specifically Semitic) language family and has no relation to Latin or any of its derivatives (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, English in part...) whatsoever.
The Latin language family is part of the broader Indo-European language family along with the Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic, Slavic, Iranic and Indic language families.
That's right, thank you for the correction.
But of course, it's important to note that despite the seperate origins, Arabic did influence some Indo-European languages throughout history (especially Spanish) and vice versa.
@@Sonilotos Spanish and Portuguese.
You're talking about relatively recent influences.
But arabic alphabet has the same exact origins as greek and latin, so it's much harder to tell the real impact these languages had on each other especially long time ago.
@@karllogan8809 You cannot say English is in part a derivative of Latin. English stems from Proto-Germanic as well as Dutch, German and so many others. I do understand why you say that though, since English took loads of Latin and French terms throughout its history.
@@marwabarcelona551 Не забывайте о нормандских завоевателях Англии. Это викинги, укоренившиеся на севере Франции.
The question is bullshit because “hardest language”depends on what is your native tongue and what other language you know well.
If you speak Cantonese, Mandarin won’t be that hard compared to a native English speaker , a native Hebrew speaker would have an easier time learning Fusha that is standard literary Arabic than an native English speakers as they are both West Semitic languages and share many features.
If you speak English, Finnish will be challenge, if you speak Estonian it will be much easier.
You are totally true. I as a Pole understand a lot from the other languages because they are similar sometimes false friends needs explanation but we still manage to speak slowly and explain and we can make for a mutual understanding.
Yeah basically for the Turkish girl Arabic is easier, but for East Asians Chinese is easier
As Indonesian who have accepted both migrant, vocabularies, and cultures for centuries, both languages are considered difficult for different reason. Chinese are grammatically easier but had difficult letters. Arabic are easier to read but gramatically difficult. Both pronunciation are difficult but for different reason, Arabic had various throat sound while Chinese had various tongue position.
@@cjkim2147Arabic is hard for most Turkish speakers. Arabic loan words do not make it easy. It is an entirely different language.Reading and pronouncing are very hard for native Turkish speakers. It is full of guttural and pharyngeal sounds. Most Turkish vocabulary has Turkic lexicon with French, Latin, Greek, Arabic, Persian, Italian loanwords.
@@kunderempcouldn't agree more! (Btw, Im Indonesian too)
I've been studying arabic since I child (because I am muslim, and at least we have to know how to read the Arabic letter to read our holy book) so I could say that I have a basic knowledge about the Arabic language.
And currently I'm learning Mandarin and I got it that the Chinese grammar (or should I say it Mandarin grammar?) is the way more easier. The parts those make it tricky are huge of characters, 4 tones, steps to write the stroke, similarity of character's shape and maybe the other things that I haven't learnt yet except the (basic) grammar.
In contrast with the Arabic. U'll find it quietly ez to learn how to read it. But to write it, it's completely different case. There are words that came in diverse shape depend on where they were placed. Not to mention lots of their rules.
If the thing that made Chinese word's mean changes rapidly is the tones, in Arabic it was the length of the word. These additional letter at the last of the words are the matter that change theirs mean ا/a, وْ/u, يْ/i. (Of course besides the similarity of characters or letters' sound)
So I totally agree what those ppl said in this video too. They said like it would be quitely challenging to learn Mandarin as beginner but as the time flies you'll discover it isn't really that hard. Meanwhile, for Arabic, as you dig deeper, it'll be harder. After you finish one rule, you'll see there're still many of them waiting you ahead🥲
There is something in arabic called diacritics so without it you'll have a word with only consonants and in this case vowels can't be written, without it a word can have three or more meanings so you'll have to guess based on the context in example the word سلم 'slm' can mean either a ladder 'sollam' سُلَّم or to great سَلَّمَ 'sallama' or peace 'silm' or 'salima' meanining free from something and so on, and this can cause a problem when reading especially literature with complexed phrase formation or religious books, in this cases you go back to the role and root of every word in the sentence and that's the iirab if not you'll mistake the meaning of a phrase.
التركية غصب تخلي اللغة الصينيه اصعب كش ماتتحمل حقيقة ان اللغة العربية اصعب حتى للعرب نفسهم
طيب ليش تدخلين بنيتها يمكن هي تشوف الصينيه اصعب
لانها تركية طيب ونص كلمات نفس التركية غير كذا فعلا العربي اسهل من الصيني
I mean , it was really hard for me to, mentally and physically and emotionally, to watch someone who dose NOT know his own language very good. And she doesn’t know English! Most of what she said about Arabic is wrong, she seems like she didn’t studied Arabic at all . Just knowing it from her family and friends. It would be so much better if you brought someone who IS good at Arabic language.
Chinese doesn't actually have an alphabet, it has characters and each character is a word so thats also hard...
Chinese does have an aphlabet its called pinyin.
Grammar is super easy though.
@@JX-C it's not an alphabet it is for foreigners to learn how to read the characters.. pinyin is created by a foreigner. I am studying sinology so I know that.
@@hellohi3416 I didn't mention about grammar and there are lots of parts that make Chinese hard..
@@selengeenesay7449 it is created by a Chinese linguist named Zhou Youguang, natives use pinyin everyday
Bro the arbic examples are so easy. They could give aother examples other that the letters in ghe alphabet for example, they could gave "كَتَبَ الكتاب" ، "كُتِبَ الكتاب" which means "he wrote the book" and "the book has been written" respectively, you couldn't tell the difference by looking at both of them
In my opinion, both languages are equally difficult. As an Indonesian, I am very familiar with the Arabic alphabet, but most Indonesians read the Arabic alphabet with the help of "harakat" lines, which help me read the vowels a/i/u. If I read without the help of harakat, I think 50% of them will read it wrong.
As an arabic speaker the good thing about Arabic is that if you learn the rules , the language becomes easier because everything has reason(everything connected of each other) but it is still hard even for me the native speaker I would make mistakes if you ask my about the ruls 😂
As an Thai islamic girl, I personally think Arabic is harder. Chinese is really hard when it comes to learning the characters as they are all different for every word. Arabic, even though has only 26 characters and you could kind of spell it, in daily life usage they omit the vowels! So it is the same way with Chinese. You need to know the word in order to understand it.
When it comes to grammar, the structure of Arabic grammar is more complicated than Chinese for them having the masculine and feminine languages.
For muslim, Arabic pronunciation is not that hard as we learned Quran.
For Vietnamese and Thai, Chinese tones are also not too hard as we are used to it from our languages.
At the end, I think it really depends on people but I hope my comment give you somewhat insight about Thai muslim perspective.
I am a french chill guy who studied english, spanish, arabic, russian and now chinese, and I can tell grammar is the scariest part in every languages. Chinese grammar is so easy, I prefer struggling with pronunciation and the writing system than grammar, that's why I consider chinese as one of the easiest language that I can speak.
In last video, I said that Chinese grammar is almost the simplest in the world. This attracted a lot of people to refute me. They think that Chinese grammar only looks simple because it is an SVO structure and has no declension.
In fact, I think the reason why Chinese grammar is so simple is that Chinese characters are very complex, so Chinese does can express complex meanings without complex grammar.
@개고기수프I agree that Chinese grammar is very easy, but it really doesn’t have anything to do with the characters. It’s just a coincidence that Chinese is written with characters, if it had developed an alphabet in its history, it would still be a language with easy grammar.
@@Livingtree32 No, the simplicity of Chinese grammar is directly related to Chinese characters. Chinese characters are completely original. Chinese grammar has been changing over the past 4,000 years. So modern Chinese people need to learn the grammar of ancient Chinese when studying ancient Chinese writings. If you have studied classical Chinese, you will find that Chinese characters do help to reduce the difficulty of grammar.
@개고기수프 I can read Classical Chinese. But you already disprove your own argument. Classical Chinese and modern Chinese are both written in the same characters (yes, they have been simplified, but you can still use traditional characters as well). But modern Chinese has more complex sentence structures than Classical. How can this be by your logic? Both are written with characters. Complexity of a language has nothing to do with its script.
Despite all the common vocabulary with Spanish (and to a lesser extent even English)?
Thirteenth day of requesting this idea:
Hello! It will be really nice if you guys made a video of comparing different Chinese dialects like the Hokkien dialect, hakka dialect, and cantonese dialect with Korean and Japanese.
And get these people who speak it from China specifically.
You can find some majority of hokkien speaking people in the Fujian province of China.
You can find majority of Hakka speaking people from Guangdong province in China.
You can find majority of Cantonese speaking people from Guangdong province in China.
This is because these dialects are closer to old and Middle Chinese. So there will be more similarities when you compare Korean, japanese.
Wenzhounese is another suggestion, as it’s probably the dialect that’s the most different/ unintelligible from other dialects of China, so it would be fun to compare them.
Some words that are similar in hokkien compared to Korean or Japanese
(These words also sound similar in some other Chinese dialects , some may sound similar to mandarin as well, but this dialect sounds way more similar compared to mandarin):
Hokkien Word for:
World( sounds similar to sekai)
Time (sounds similar to shigan)
Real/really 真正 (sounds similar to jinja)
Alcohol/wine/shaojiiu (sounds similar to soju)
Ready (sounds similar to junbi)
Book (sounds similar to chaeg)
Furniture (sounds similar to gagu)
Reporter (sounds similar to gija)
Police station (sounds simialr to pachulso)
Civil servant (sounds similar to gongmuwon)
Library (Sounds similar to doseogwan)
Japan 日本(in mandarin, it’s pronounced Ri ben, but in many older Chinese dialects such as hokkien, they pronounce it like: nippon)
Parents
Exercise (sounds similar to udong)
And there are many more words that sound much more similar in these Chinese dialects compared to mandarin!
Also these are not similar, but kinda similar:
In hokkien, one way to say thanks is: 感謝
And the pronunciation in Japanese and Korean are similar the Chinese pronunciation. For example Koreans say kamsahamnida. The “Kamsa” part sounds similar.
Also a hokkien swear word is tsi-bai, which sorta sounds like a Korean curse word called shibal
@@Comment-l8l 那是因为古代韩国学习了很多中文发音
Arabic is harder because it's similar in shapes, but different in meaning. Like:
" شِعر" means poetry .
"شَعر" means hair.
"شَعَر" means he felt.
The little details make it deficalte.
I've tried to study Arabic, it's the hardest language I've ever tried, everything from the letters to the pronunciation was difficult.
🇮🇩 learning to Arabic that defense religion
على مافهمت سابقاً اللغة الصينية لغة تعتمد على رسم رموز وصوتياتها وليس الحروف وهي لغة نغمية وبعكس اللغة العربية لغة تعتمد على الحروف لبناء الكلمات والكلمات لبيان المعاني
i think the Arabic girl didn't know how to explain the Arabic rules, learning Arabic language is like diving in deep sae everyday you learn something new.
Mandarin is just a lot of memorization, it has very little grammar so once you collect enough words you can speak it. Arabic has complex grammar even if you know a lot of words you may not learn how to speak it properly for years.
Chinese is just a lot of memorization. You have to memorize the correct pronunciation and how to write the script. But the grammar is easy.
I’m Arab and studied Arabic for 15 years still had to redo Arabic class 3 times in the college to pass the subject. Grammar in Arabic is insane even vocabulary for example you can call the lion with 130 different names.
هو فيه ١٣٠ اسم بس ما نستخدم الا اسد اللغة العربي فعلا معقده نحويًا ولكن احنا كعرب مسهلينها باللهجة البيضاء يعني لو نتكلم فصحى ماعتقد راح نفهم بعض
As a Korean, I've noticed how difficult to learn English after starting to learn Chinese. 10 times easier than English. So, don't feel frustrated about not being fluent in speaking English. Not your fault. It's up to a totally different language culture. The most important thing about how you fast learn foreign languages is a one how much similar thinking way.
Really? As a Chinese myself, I found my native language quite difficult. And I can't imagine how tough it is to remember such too many characters if I'm not Chinese. I'll be better if Chinese is pronounced by alphabet and use Chinese characters for assistant, like what Korean language do, it'll be much more easy going to both our Chinese and foreigners
You're so right, chinese is easier , the pronouncation is definitely much easier than English, to this day I'm still not confident with talking in English, my voice suck azz.
3:07 Did she really say Latin came from Arabic??
Lmao why y'all so pissed at it
she wasn't sure
@@chillopu not pissed, it just made no sense
3:08 she said she didn't know fully, but Latin alphabet is not from Arabic. Both however come from Phoenician alphabet
I thought they come from Luwian. Interesting.
I think she was referring to vocabulary. Some Latin languages, notably Spanish and Portuguese have many Arabic loan words due to the Iberian Peninsula being ruled by Arabic speaking peoples for hundreds of years.
@@lemonz1769 But loanwords occur everywhere in the world. Literally. Languages develop gradually and adopt new words upon contact with new cultures and influences. Just because there are Spanish loanwords in Tagalog, it's disrespectful to say Tagalog "came" from Spanish. The same can be said about Japanese and Korean languages "coming from" Chinese since a big chunk of their vocab have Chinese roots. In Linguistics, language families are a thing. If you don't belong in the same family, you don't share the same DNA inherently. You may adopt new words here and there, but that doesn't count. Just because a Japanese person learns to cook Turkish food, they don't become Turkish. A French lady doesn't become Indian just because she wears a sari. Latin = Indo European, Arabic = Afro-Asiatic. It's even more laughable if you look at the history of those two alphabets. Latin script (inspired by Greek), came about in 600 BCE.

We actually do have feminine and masculine objects. Table is feminine, apple is feminine, and sea is masculine
为什么呢 可以详细解释一下吗
We have letters that are considered feminine. Like ت which is pronounced ta-a, and we have ء and اء wich are pronounce a-a. And the ta-a looked different if its connected with another letter.
And as for the words, the ones ending with those letters that I juat wrote are the feminine, the one without are masculine.
Hope this helped ❤️🙏🏼@mambaneverout5843
@@mambaneverout5843
The simplest explanation I could give is that both table and apple end in an "a" sound, making them feminine.
Sea doesn't, it ends with "r." (Bahr)
However, there are multiple exceptions, Hamza, Antaza, Muaweya are masculine names. Mae, Aseel, Zaynab, etc are feminine names
(Aseel could be a masculine name, but it's pronounced with a different S sound, in that case)
Most of the exceptions appear in human names though, rather than regular objects
@@Wildwildmint do you guys also change the article depending on the subject, meaning "the","this" or "a/an" also changes depending on the subject's gender? I speak Spanish and it makes sense to me that that "the tree" is masculine so the article is EL and for feminine is LA, so it's "el árbol" and "la manzana" (the apple) even though both articles translate as "the" in english. This also happens in all romance languages and most european languages except english.
@alfrredd
Yes, there are multiple forms for the words "this" and "that" including gendered ones.
(We also have a form referring to two feminine nouns or two masculine ones)
"The" is "Al" and it is standard for everything, regardless of gender.
We don't use a or an, because you can easily tell whether something is singular or plural
(In english, they use a and an because you sometimes can't hear the s for the plural at the end, but in Arabic, the whole word changes, so you can easily tell by just hearing it)
when arab girl introduces herself, as a turkish "merhaba" is not the only thing that i can recognize also in my language as "عمري" (umri) in turkish "ömrüm" (or ömür) or "سنوات" (senevat) plural for "sene" in turkish or "إسمي" (ismi) is in turkish "ismim" etc.
i only understood "Merhaba" like the Turkish girl but i've tried to listen her again after seeing this comment yet i only get ismi which is hard to get because of different pronunciation but i have no idea about how did u get the rest of these words 😂
Then you must have studied arabic or you were interested in it and made some research about it because apart from merhaba and ismi other words are totally unrecognizable for a person who hasn't studied Arabic or who isn't interested in.

4:40, Japanese didn't recognized it probably because it is the simplfied one, they may know the traditional form of it: "書"
In Chinese, it has two basic meanings, "book, letter" as noun, and "write" as verb.
9:05, This is something we Chinese never understand...Why there are gender differences in a language?
If you say that there are differences between men and women doing the same things, I could partially understand. But for objects, what?? A table is related to a gender?? Are you kidding???
In the past, there was no gender difference at all in Chinese, we didn't even have the character for "she", just "他", means "he/she", which could be used on both genders. Then some "smart" guys invented the character "她" as "she" in 1920s, after heavily influenced by the west.
10:10, Yes, there are more than 80000 Chinese characters.
But most of them are rare and useless, even most native speakers don't recognize them.
Actually there are just about 3000 commonly used characters, learn these, you will be able to read over 95% of articles written in Chinese, and daily communications with native speakers will be totally fine.
13:06, That's true, in all major spoken languages in the world, Chinese has the highest information entropy.
That means it is the most efficent languange, you may find an instruction manual of some product, which have multiple languages written with the same meaning, Chinese is always the shortest.
17:22, The beginning of learning Chinese is always the hardest, 4 tones, around 400 prounciation combinations, 3000 commonly used characters, all have to be memorized.
But after that, it will be way easier than other languages.
Untill you reach the high end, which include classical Chinese, poetry, etc, these are hard, even for native speakers.

I am an Arab and with all due respect to the girl, most of her information about the Arabic language is completely wrong, she is almost talking about a different language.. I understand that her English cannot help her but also I cannot continue watching the video with all that misleading information..!
This is anecdoctal, but more of my friends who grew up in the diaspora w/ Chinese speaking parents can speak Chinese vs. friends w/ Arabic speaking parents. So it seems Arabic is much harder! So many difficult sounds, grammar rules, and too many words that sound similar to the Anglophone ear but are actually not the same.
@@jasmineandrose123 speaking is not the same as reading and writing. Chinese most difficult part is the reading and writing plus it is a tonal language. Everything else is easy. Grammar is super simple. No verb conjugation, no tenses, no plural, no gender, nothing complicated.

@BabaraJansson 我说的是文法。
@BabaraJansson you made the point that Chinese has words to convey the meaning of plural words and sex differences. Of course, Chinese can convey different meanings, it is a language after all, but I am talking about grammar. You don't change the words themselves because of grammar rules, like one dog and two dogs, i.e. you put an 's' behind if it is plural. The word eat, ate, eaten, eating are altered in English because of grammar rules but it is not changed at all in Chinese. We have 'is', 'was', 'were', 'am', 'are' in English because of grammar but it is only 是 in Chinese.
@@callistoscali4344 No, it is not the same, but it is unlikely for heritage language learners to be able to read/write but not speak. Of the Arabic friends who can speak, even fewer can read/ write. Generally when parents speak the language we learn to understand/ speak before reading and writing.
Also, for some people growing up speaking languages with more complicated grammar, the simple grammar in Chinese strangely may be a challenge in that it relies a lot on context and nuance. Grammatical cases, verb endings, tenses... they appear in many languages for a reason!
As a Thai native speaker, Thai and Chinese are both tonal languages so i can learn Chinese easily. I prefer Arabic to be harder than Chinese.
中国有个民族叫傣族，我们有相同的少数民族体系
Thai and Chinese tonal system are different. Tonal language only means tone defines the meaning of the word.
I'm a balinese hindu, i started learning arabic way back when i was a lil kid, arabic is so hard but one you know the alphabet it's easy, it's even easier for me to learn arabic than sanskrit (hindus use sanskrit for their canonic books) but mandarin is yeah for me is top 1 hardest language in the world
Spanish only has about 4000 loanwords from Arabic out of 150.000 spanish words (about 8%)
For traditional Chinese
In general dictionary, there are 3000 words. In 康熙字典, there are 5000 words.
In 3rd year of primary school, students are expected to able to read newspapers without looking up dictionary and understand the context.
Normally, if you are not working in some specific industries, you only need to use 2000 words to live in China.

5 years learning Chinese and didn’t get the topic, that’s very well explained that Chinese is waaaayyyy harder than Arabic..
As someone who learned both Arabic and Chinese and lives outside East Asia, I could say Chinese more difficult in every way.
For Arabic you just learned the alphabet and the male female subject changes, but Mandarin is another level of language.
In every way? I am sure that both have different aspects that are difficult. E.g. Chinese grammar is simple, very simple.
arabic is not hard, ive learn it before. here many indonesian can pronounce arabic clearly even though most of them dont know the meaning (because they dont learn it) also arabic alphabet is not complex. chinese is harder and has complex writing system.
i am arab and i agree arabic alphabet isn't hard the hardest thing is grammar i think, and how if you learn fusha you probably will not understand everything irl since nobody uses it in daily life and every city has its diffrent dialects and accents
Arabic does have gendered languages for Objects, table for example is feminine and we use feminine language when describing it
برأي شخص عربي، اشوف ان اللغتين متحاربتين بس في لغة بينهم اصعب؛ الصيني بيكون سهل جداً إذا تعلمت أغلبية الـcharacters بس المشكلة تكمن بالـpronunciation بلغتهم الي يكون منها نوعين. وحتى لو تعلمت صيني لسنوات عديدة مارح تنطق الكلمات بشكل سليم. اما عن قواعدهم سهلة مرة وماعندهم ضمير للأنثى او الذكر، كلهم نفس الشيء اما الـwriting أشوفها صعبة ايضاً. العربي فعلياً صعب بسبب انه الكلمة الوحدة ممكن يختلف معناها الكامل بسبب الحركات.. ولان اللغة العربية غنية بالمفردات. نطق الحروف الي تكون بالحلق زي "ح،خ،ع،غ،ه،ء." وايضاً القواعد أصعب، وفيها ضمائر مثل: "انتَ، انتِ، هي، هو، هما، هم، انتم، نحن والخ..؟" والإعراب. اما الكتابة مااظن صعبة للغاية؟ والنطق اكيد صعب لان حتى لو درست العربي عشر سنين بيكون مكسر مب مضبوط تماماً.
نرجع للسؤال الفلسفي، مين الاصعب؟ اللغة الصينية تحتوي على أعداد هائلة من الرموز يعني ممكن فوق الـ٧٠ ألف رمز.. الصراحة لو بنتكلم بشكل طبيعي اكيد مافي إنسان بيتعلم هالكم الهائل من الرموز، حتى الصينيين بنفسهم يعرفون جزء منهم، فهُنا تكون العربية أصعب! ولكن بنتكلم بشكل عام عن اللغة كاملة بحجمها بدون إستثناءات، يكون الفوز للصينية، لان الكم الهائل من هذا الرموز مُستحيل.. وانا صدقاً احب اللغتين كلهم بشكل كبير وكان لازم أتفلسف كثير صراحة بالموضوع، عشان يكون عادل.

The which-language-is-harder issue is always determined by your mother tongue. For Korean speakers and Japanese speakers, Chinese is generally easier because of the highly overlapping lexicon, which is quite intuitive to figure out since you spend most of your time memorizing endless words while learning a new language. Meanwhile Arabic could be easier for a Turkish speaker since the two languages are relatively closer than to chinese. It just always depends.

书〔書〕there is simplified and traditional writing. The Japanese will definitely recognize the traditional writing.
Not necessarily. Japan also has their own simplified characters - 新字体(new fonts). There are many Chinese characters that the Japanese have simplified more, such as "予" (预).
@개고기수프 It is. 书 is not simplified in modern Japanese. Japanese uses 書くto mean write. It is written in traditional Chinese.
@ I do not said 书，I said 予
@개고기수프but the video (4:40) is about 书. My comment is referring to the content in the video. It is not a general statement about traditional writing versus simplified writing.
@ And in modern Chinese, 书 also means write, like 书写(書寫)
The Chinese “alphabet” is known as pinyin which means “spelled out sounds”it’s the romanized system for modern standard Chinese. It’s different from Chinese letters. For those who have zero knowledge of Chinese would have zero chance of pronouncing a Chinese letter, however anyone uses the Latin alphabet can still pronounce the letters with the help of pinyin.
3:05 🤔🤔The Arabic alphabet was inspired by the Aramaic alphabet, while the Latin alphabet was inspired by the Greek alphabet.
Both the Aramaic and Greek alphabets were inspired by the Phoenician alphabets.
The Latin alphabet started appearing around 600 BCE while the Arabic alphabet came into existence around 300 CE. That's a 900-year gap.
Language family wise, Latin and Arabic are also totally unrelated. Latin is Indo-European while Arabic is Afro-Asiatic. So either way, nope Latin didn't "come" from Arabic.
Languages evolve gradually and absorb new elements upon contact with other cultures and languages. Loanwords isn't an indicator of linguistic root. Imagine saying Tagalog "came" from Spanish cause it has many Spanish loanwords. 🙄
A bit shocking to see the Yemeni girl rush to conclusion so quickly and affirm her 'fact' to the whole cast. 🤔🤔
The Arabic alphabet as it is known today dates back to the 3 AD. However, there are ancient Arabic alphabets that originated in 1000 BC and developed into today's Arabic alphabet. Moreover, the Greek alphabet is derived from the Phoenician/Semitic alphabet.

I already pointed out both Greek and Aramaic scripts got inspired by the Phoenicians. That's a solid fact that no one is trying to deny. But you can't say something along the lines of 'Phoenicians are Arabs, Aramaic people are Arabs, or Ancient Egyptians are Arabs'. That's like saying the French are next to the Germans, or Mongolians are next to the Chinese, they are the same.
What is considered the Arabic script, or the early form of the script only came into existence around 300 CE. And you're here saying the Arabic script we see today trace back to even 1000 BCE, so about a 1300-year gap. It's just mind-boggling. Just because you saw some drawing or scribbles on the wall of the caves dated back to 1000 BCE, you can't equate them as the 'early form of the modern-day Arabic script'. Everything has to be more factual and based.

That girl is wrong, Arabic do in fact have feminine and masculine variations for objects too like table, it's a feminine word.
9:21 YES, WE DO!! But not in the same way as French. For objects like 'table,' we don't have masculine or feminine forms. Instead, we use 'هذه الطّاوِلة' for 'this table,' 'الطّاوِلة' for 'the table,' and just 'طاولة' for 'a table'
There are some mistakes here, the Arabic girl probably misunderstood their question but I applaud her.
For example, objects can be feminine like ( table طاولة tawilah ) and ( Sun الشمس ashams ) and can be masculine like ( moon القمر alqamar ).
As an arabic speaker who spoke arabic for her whole life i actually still sometimes struggle with speaking and also every country who speaks Arabic don't really use the same words some countries have there own words in arabic like in oman they call watermelon جح or يح but in other countries like Kuwait they actually call it رقي and another example some countries call bread عيش when other countries actually say عيش for rice and not to be rude or anything but all i have to say is that the Yemeni girl isn't even knowledgeable about the language and how to explain thing properly

I'm a native English speaker who has studied both Chinese and Arabic enough to do translation. Arabic is significantly harder by far, and I would say it's at least partly due to Arabic being truly diglossic whereas Chinese has Mandarin which sees everyday usage. To "know" Arabic, you have to essentially know two languages: MSA and a dialect.
