“Some might argue she has an accent, but that’s exactly how my sister’ mother-in-law speaks Mandarin” As a Chinese-American born in the US, it’s pretty much how I speak Mandarin too.
@@mechadoggy eh. I came here when I was 7, 23 years ago. None of my family or any of our family friends speak like this. Not only is her pronunciation off, the word choice and sentence structure is also really odd.
@@user-nj9ru4ef2w Maybe it’s just a matter of different accents from different provinces of China. For instance, when I gave a tour of my high school to a bunch of teachers from mainland China, they could immediately tell I had a southern Chinese accent/pronunciation. As another example, I remember seeing a leaked video where a Wuhan nurse was admitting that they already had over 100,000 Covid cases back when the Communist government was officially claiming only 10,000 cases at the time. That Wuhan nurse had a very very thick Hubei accent that I could barely understand. Even my parents could barely understand her.
While most comments say the grandma is the only one that speaks Mandarin fluently, I think the mother has a nice Taiwanese accent and sounds just as fluent if not more.
Well... as an asian(South Korean), eating cereal in the bowl(we have kinda bowls in Korea.) Is very usual to me and also to every Korean. Whenever My mon gives cereal to me as my breakfast, she gives a bowl which is very similar to the bowl in the video. I am sure that it must be usual in any asian countries where people eat cereal. So, your reaction is very interesting to me😄😄😄😄
"Screw it, I'm out. I've been wanting someone to pass me those dumplings for half an hour but I don't know how to say "Give me them dumps" in Mandarin."
That was the strangest thing to me. Most of the Chinese and Taiwanese people I know who are actually “fresh off the boat” would just reach over to get it themselves. Different set of customs, is all.
That's why the Chinese restaurant have a spinning round table where u can move the food closer to you. The concept of passing the food is the western way I think.
Leonardo Westcott they ‘ve already quite good to spoke like that . I ‘m a Chinese, I know many Chinese people they don’t know how to praise others , if you can’t say something nice, please just don’t say anything.
The accent you are hearing are the actors staying in character. The characters aren't supposed to have perfect accents, except for grandma. The accents reflect that.
i mean, if you spend the majority of your life learning a language and have a spouse that speaks the same one, you should have a pretty good understanding of it. not only that they lived in chinatown for a period of time. if this were real id expect much more chinese from all of them honestly. i think its just lack of language knowledge on the actors and scriptwriters part lol
Everyone is making a huge fuss over their accent but isn't it in character of them to have a bad accent? They're Chinese American immigrants and their kids are first generation I believe, as a first gen myself I never learned my native language because my family assimilated to American culture so we wouldn't be seen as foreigners. It would be common for them to lose their accent or even some of if not all of the language. My sister was born in the Philippines and Tagalog was her first language but she lost it when my parents made the move here. Idk I think y'all are just being really picky
You should never forget where you came from. I suggest learning your native language and getting more in touch with your origins.

Mariah B. I'm totally on your side. I'm an adopted kid from China and completely lost my native tongue since I live with an American family.

I agree with you on both counts but it was hard to keep the charade going after Candace Wu let loose with that cuss-fest indicating how much she despised the show. There was no fixing that, though that phony sure tried.
HetaliaFan15 she isn’t because after the dad got out, the mom said it was down to three: herself and her two sons. That means the grandmother wasn’t playing.

Melanch0liac: it's coz ppl always have to give their 2 cents. It's a freaking show but they have to correct everything lol like some comments on here saying it's the year of the dog when they don't realize the show is portrayed during the 90's lol
@@kbs5059 yeah, but the video just talks about how young chinese people are adapted to talking English nowadays and the grandma is the only one who speaks it without sounding as someone with accent.
Since everyone commented on the actors accents, I would say the grammar is also very "western", they basically wrote the lines in English and translate it word for word, which is not how it works.
The mom’s calm stare at the end. I felt that in my soul. Don’t mess with her. She seems calm but it’s the calm intent of a rattlesnake ready to strike.
FUCK YEAH I AM!!!!!!! but seriously, WHY DOES CHINESE HAVE TO HAVE SUCH DIFFICULT FUCKING PRONOUNCIATIONS???? AND WHATS THE POINT OF USING FUCKING TONES IN EACH WORD????? I MEAN LIKE JUST FUCKING INVENT A NEW CHINESE WORD INSTEAD OF LAZILY TONING IT

Damn, now i just realized that the mother is in crazy rich asian 😂
omG---I kneW She lOoked lIke. HErr!!!

Y’all slow asf

This show should have stayed on the air - it was funny!
I agree with you on both counts but it was hard to keep the charade going after Candace Wu let loose with that cuss-fest indicating how much she despised the show. There was no fixing that, though that phony sure tried.

Yup

They got a PhD in Duolingo 😂
When he can only said “ 是真的 “ I felt that
i usually go with “對對對對對”

WONDERFUL!
I miss this show! 😂
I just realized...technically the grandmother won because she always speaks Mandarin. 🤔
Triston Tejada thats why she wasnt playing the game
Yeah, but we don't know and can't tell if she's really playing the game.
For sure.
Triston Tejada but like she's not included in the game cuz mandarin is her only language and the rest aren't as fluent like her
HetaliaFan15 she isn’t because after the dad got out, the mom said it was down to three: herself and her two sons. That means the grandmother wasn’t playing.

I learned some Mandarin to impress this super cute Asian girl...turns out she was actually Korean.
Kerorofan oh dude....good intentions but dont assume race man 😂
Edit: yall this comment is 1 year old. Can you stop replying to me saying rAcE anD nAtiOnaLitY aND eThniCiTy iS dIfFerEnT. Who gives a fuck
Umm... Not judging you but am judging extremely hard.
Please tell me you asked and didn't just walk up to her speaking chinese off of assumptions. That would be really rude.
No...I said 'What up girl' first.
howtopasstime Chinese and Koreans are the same race. You mean ethnicity
Great job on your book
The Goldbergs it’s a hip hop louder and Florida show from 20th century Columbia television.
So what if their Mandarin isn't perfect? All of them except the grandma was born and raised in America. Instead of nitpicking at their accents, you should be proud that an asian family is portrayed on an American tv show for once, I know I am.
Melanch0liac: it's coz ppl always have to give their 2 cents. It's a freaking show but they have to correct everything lol like some comments on here saying it's the year of the dog when they don't realize the show is portrayed during the 90's lol
Apparently Huang himself is not pleased by the way they portrayed his story.
welcome to TH-cam where everything will be argued
amber C Christ rock wasn’t happy about his show either
Melanch0liac tbh their mandarin is great compared to some kids that don't even know how to say their own name properly
dont give a fck even if they sound weird. at least they made the efforts to try. and having accent is totally normal
That is... Not the point of the video
@@mayu9882 look at the comments of this video
@@kbs5059 yeah, but the video just talks about how young chinese people are adapted to talking English nowadays and the grandma is the only one who speaks it without sounding as someone with accent.
k bs Dumbass the video is about people not being able to pronounce chinese properly. Learn to joke, you fuckface
@@squidwardcommunitycollege3733 jezus man, you want some fries with that salt?
And they are talking in Mandarin to this day!
It surprised me that on the first day of lunar new year the mom’s first words to her kid is not even a response to Happy New Year.
i mean they probably said it earlier dude... the first time people say "happy new year" isn't at dinner
For all you non-Chinese speakers, these actors have an extremely heavy American accent lol
User says who gives a fuck
User says we know. I can hear it and i am a Chinese language learner haha. Even the Korean has an American accent
User says wait til u hear me speak chinese with latino accent 😂😂😂😭🤦🏽♀️
Alessandra Nahimana Wyanet Rivera uhm im gonna have to guess that sounds pretty damn hot! 🙂😍
User says 😏😏 nah kkk
Everyone’s talking about the accent and all I can think about is that I have the same exact bowl as the kid at the end
same i feel like every chinese household has that exact same bowl
Same 😂
@@aimee0-1 Actually my family's Filipino but idk where we got our bowls
same here
Me too lmao
Only the grandmother speaks proper mandarin. 😹😹😹😹 I don’t know what’s donlingo, but agree with some previous views.
Since everyone commented on the actors accents, I would say the grammar is also very "western", they basically wrote the lines in English and translate it word for word, which is not how it works.
The mom’s calm stare at the end. I felt that in my soul. Don’t mess with her. She seems calm but it’s the calm intent of a rattlesnake ready to strike.
Separately, she looks damn good for someone who just woke up
She looks like about to launch a hundreds paragraphs of arguments
Most Chinese think she is really beautiful
@@CapSoo999 why wouldn’t they? She is.
@@CapSoo999 so its bad for america, british, japan, korean, and all country? Btw im not chinese but have some blood of it and i think she beautiful.
That's true
Riccardo Abdine i want it
MAXO MAX WTF DID YOU JUS SAY
nothing, chloroplast
anyways you still learning chinese?
FUCK YEAH I AM!!!!!!!
but seriously, WHY DOES CHINESE HAVE TO HAVE SUCH DIFFICULT FUCKING PRONOUNCIATIONS???? AND WHATS THE POINT OF USING FUCKING TONES IN EACH WORD????? I MEAN LIKE JUST FUCKING INVENT A NEW CHINESE WORD INSTEAD OF LAZILY TONING IT
ikr??? such difficulty. welp, i guess the chinese are too used to their toning language. but i do think they should make it more like their little brother, japanese
This is super funny, I need to get in on this game.
The seasons are available on DVD and Blu-Ray!
is there any experience more "asian american child" that eating cereal out of THAT specific red bowl?? 😭😭😭
The authentic chinese red bowl lmaoo
Asian Australian here. I use to use bowls that are the exact same pattern, but were smaller and are made of plastic.
I think us half-Chinese southeast asians also have that red bowl lol.
@@SKongdachalert the red bowl and white soup spoons with the blue flowers on them
THE red bowl lmfao, we used to have so much but somehow the smaller ones disappeared and now we only use the big bowls
