I love Hong Kong's Cantonese! I'm a Chinese (Hokkien + 1/4 Peranakan) Singaporean, and grew up with a lot of Hong Kong Shows/Movies + Taiwanese ones. So it makes me happy to see this!
Haha “Translator” - Microsoft , There is Cantonese, but having Minan will be convenient for me to look up ancient words compared to Sino-Vietnamese in Vietnam 😍.
These are very clear pronunciations of HK Cantonese words. In actual everyday speech, word-initial "ng" is frequently dropped, and word-initial "n" is often pronounced as "l" (there are many other sound alternations). Native speakers often consider these pronunciations to be "lazy sounds", but honestly you don't sound like an HK local if you don't pronounce these sounds in such ways in most informal situations.
After watching TVB classic sitcom War Of The Genders 男親女愛 starring 鄭裕玲 & 黃子華 it is time for myself learning HK Cantonese 香港廣東話 online from basic to hardest words sooner I'll be a future multilingual translator after graduating in college. Even I'm on a 50/50 read and spoken Taiwanese Mandarin 台灣國語 but I sucked to write any symbols I can still practicing 🤞🤞 need a cross fingers because I liked two of Chinese traditional languages, very challenging to me and hopefully at the very end 💯 I'm gonna passed!
I used to be the one that sometimes speaks Cantonese for the first time in TH-cam all because of Google Translate's newest update about newest languages.
statisticly about 70% of Chinese population were and are native of one of Northern Chinese varieties and Northern dialects are more or less mutualy understandable, while Southern like Cantonese, Shanghainese, Hokkien are totally mutually unintalagible. Because of this chose Mandarin as a official language was more then fair.
you could argue this is the standard,or a prescribed form of Canto. What people call "lazy tone" is actually the most common pronunciation,but it's not indicated in the romanization or this video's audio.
@@rarearyantroops it's not that it can't be pronounced,but that the phonemic development of the language lost them. As far as an example of differences:Prescriptivists might insist on using the velar nasal initial,but consider a phrase like "I love you." -"Ngo5 oi3 nei5" in Jyutping. Native speakers will more naturally say "o5 oi3 lei5."
At this point, it's really just the accent. This is technically Standard Cantonese. Historically Standard is based on Guangzhou, but the Cantonese spoken here in this video is identical to that, but the accent is slightly more clearly Hong Konger. At this point, it's nitpicking. It's like comparing between the 5 NYC accents. Is it really a different thing between the New York Metropolitan Accent (largely based in Manhattan) and a Brooklyn one? I'm sure someone from Queens can tell the difference. And I, as a Hong Konger, can tell if someone is from Guangzhou versus being born and raised in Hong Kong. I can even tell if they're from Hong Kong Island or the New Territories....but it really isn't that big of a meaningful difference. This is like basing "Standard New Yorker" on Brooklyn and then going on to say Manhattan folks sound slightly different.
Considering that Cantonese is not mutually intelligible with Mandarin or Chinese, are there any false friends between Cantonese or Mandarin or Chinese, yes or no?
No, Chinese languages do not work like in do European languages. But there are some characters which means different in Cantonese and in Mandarin so, in word no in terms of characo yes.
Mandarin and Chinese can have the same characters that sound the same, and sometimes sound different. For example, the word is hit is pronounced the same way in both cantonese and mandarin.
@@NetajiSubhash265This is your linguistics ignorance. Many linguistics studies in the western world has identified that Cantonese and Mandarin are different languages rather than dialects.
The similarity is somewhere on the spectrum of Spanish, Galician, and Portuguese. Mandarin and Cantonese both evolved from Middle Chinese. They split around the 12/13th century
@@why_are_you_gae6729 you’re crazy. Cantonese and Mandarin are not mutually intelligible, while Portuguese and Galician are dialects of the same language, which in turn has high intelligibility with Spanish (Castilian).

Hong Kong is famous for life in cities and also had lots of folk dances. I really like Chinese food like dim sum making healthy life for people.

Cantonese between Hong Kong and Southern China.
Even though it's just one word , the word for yes is the same as japanese.
There a lot more similar examples like : world, time, country etc is similar to Cantonese in japanese
@Shionshowa I just tested this out. Wow. Could it be that Japanese has its roots in the same roots as Cantonese?
@@lateblossom Yes that’s right. They were once very close to each other so they shared similar pronunciation
Much more ancient and older from mandarin. This should have been the national language
