"Cantonese online" is a channel to learn Cantonese (Yue Chinese) in a chic, easy and fun way!!!
5 facts of CANTONESE :
- It is official language in Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong.
- It is mainly a tonal (or oral) language. When it comes to read and write, people use standard traditional Chinese instead. (The same as mandarin users in Taiwan.)
- It is officially defined as one of six leading languages in daily use (not dialect!) by the United Nations. (The six languages are English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian, French and Spanish.)
- It has more than 2000-year history. (Mandarin has been around for 700-800 years.)
- It comes from Canton, the former English name of Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong. However, through years of mass media and pop culture influence, Hong Kong has now truly become the cultural centre of Cantonese.

Easy Cantonese - Pronoun

Cantonese Pronoun is relatively easy to learn, it doesn't have gender, only "我、你、佢" and simply add "哋" if it's in plural form. Please note this is the oral colloquial form of Cantonese, the written form does have the gender and some of them are written in a slightly different way: Oral / Written form - 我 / 我 (I) 你 / 你 (You) 佢 / (He) 、她 (She)、它 (It) 我哋 / 我們 (We) 你哋 / 你們 (You) 佢哋 / 他們 (They (mal...

Thank you very much, your illustration with the keynotes really did it for me. Simply brilliant.
And I had the impression that mandarin was a challenging language, oh boy I wasn't ready for cantonese.
“Acting like you be understanding spanish conversations be like” si si si
Im a cantonese speaker, and Im struggling to speak mandarin
Vietnamese also has 6 tones, but it's hard for me to pronounce Cantonese 2nd and 5th tones; 3rd and 6th tones correctly :)). And I tend to pronounce 1st and 3rd tones the same; 4th and 6th tones the same; 2nd and 5th tones the same :))
My gosh it’s really harder than Mandarin 🤯
HAHA Baai1 Baai3 is literally Bye Bye 😂
it's the same in Mandarin too: 拜拜 (bai4bai). And the formal goodbye is the same but pronunciation is different: 再见 (zai4jian4).
It would be great if you could resume this channel. These videos are great.
I'm extremely grateful that Mandarin only has 4! Cantonese would be a nightmare to learn.
0:18 Very inappropriate language. I didn't want to hear you talk about human feces

Some of the tones sound so much similar to each others like (1, 3 and 6) and (2 and 5). I am trying to differentiate that.
It might help if you associated the tones with diacritics first, and then start using the numbers. It helped me. 1 ô high flat tone 2 ó rising tone 3 ō mid flat tone 4 o̖ low falling tone 5 o̗ low rising tone 6 o̠ low flat tone
As a Mexican, this video just all Yes.
Are you interested in doing more simple Cantonese videos?

What I got from this video 1 - high 2 - slide to mid high 3 - mid low 4 - slide to low 5 - slide to high 6 - low Edit: apparently, 2 and 5 are wrong in what I heard, and should be switched
Omg from a Mandarin speaker's perspective these tones are so hard to remember. The difference between tones 2 and 5 is very subtle and I will never be able to master tone 6. 😭 I have so much sympathy for learners of Mandarin now. The struggle is real!
I’m a native Chinese speaker and I grew up speaking Cantonese and mandarin and I never realized until now that Cantonese even had tonesss it’s mindblowing.
For those who are unaware, the Chinese word for the number four "四" sounds like the word for death "死" and is considered bad luck. Therefore the number four is to be avoided whenever possible. For example, some high-rise buildings in Asia deliberately do not name floors such as the fourth floor, fourteenth floor, or fortieth floor, etc. On the other hand, the Chinese word for eight “八” is considered as good luck. For example, the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China was intentionally chosen to begin at 8:00 pm on August 8, 2008 (such that it occurred on the auspicious date of 08/08/2008).
Tones 3 and 6 sound almost the same to me.
Thanks a lot! I’m an english speaker born in Hong Kong and i am in urgency to prepare for my school chinese exams, this helps
As someone who is not interested in learning Cantonese now I can say with all confidence that I'll never even think about learning this language in my life that I have

I search and found that Taiwanese Minnan even has 8 tones and an intricated system of tone sandhi...with quite an amount of final consonants left like old Chinese, which is even harder than Cantonese... like why the hell southern chinese languages such as these are this insane? lol
This language is called can't-onese for a reason!
1,3,6 all sound flat, 2,5 both upwards sounding. I guess pitch is relative, depending on how high your voice is
I'm gonna hold off Cantonese for a bit. _hurriedly goes back to Mandarin lessons_
I've attempted Mandarin and Vietnamese tones and I'm also a musician. I am fascinated that Cantonese tones are based on relative pitch, as well as including rising and falling tones. Thanks for the video! It makes so much sense
I feel the first 3 mandarin tone can be mapped to A G C but the fourth mapped nothing. I have a musician friend who speaks Mandarin as first language told me that she never learns Cantonese but she can understand what they're saying automatically as if all words can be mapped though some pattern
vietnamese tones are basically cantonese tones. still can't differentiate between the first and fourth tone of mandarin lol
I think linguists actually note that tonal languages can broadly be divided into two classes: Register-tone languages differentiate tones purely through pitches, i.e., the different tones are all flat but differ from each other in terms of pitches only, while contour-tone languages differentiate tones via "contour", i.e., the tones differ also in terms of "which direction they go". Based on this, I would say Mandarin is a purely contour-tone language since there isn't any tone that are "all flat, but differ in terms of pitches only".
Very useful! Simple and easy to learn. Please keep making videos to learn cantonese 👍🏻
As a native Thai speaker. I can't hear the difference between 3th and 6th tone
It's very subtle indeed, the 6th is only a half pitch down tone compared to the 3th. On the music scale, it's like: Do (6th) then back to Ti (3th) ; or Fa (6th) back to Mi (3th)
Sau sin laaa
Meysek
Sikcho
Nei jou Sikcho faameyaa
Ney jou
I can tell the difference but I can only repeat and replicate the tones after hearing it.
Oh wait I think I don’t get the last one
why they use this language??
almost like the Vietnamese tones 1= ngang ( saam1 _ tam) 2= hỏi (gau2 _ cửu) 3= sắc (sei3 _ tứ) 4= huyền (ling4 _ lình/linh) 5= ngã (ng5 _ ngũ) 6= nặng (ji6 _ nhị)
yes yes ues
连我这个广州人都未分得清,史同市、试同是 有咩分别??求指教
市場與屎場講唔清,唔會掛。上屎場買餸?
這3個的確很相似: 「史」是轉音,尾音要上揚; 「市」都是轉音,不過尾音不用上揚; 「試」不是轉音
@@Cantonese.online 啊 我一路都系讲行街“史”、菜“史”场。。。😅
They sound all the same
Americans trying to speak Cantonese be like: tones? Nah I’m just going to say the words without em.
