Language Challenge: Chinese vs Indonesian
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 06. 2024
- In this video, we compare some of the vocabulary shared between Indonesian (bahasa Indonesia) and Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), with Firman, an Indonesian speaker from Indonesia and Luke who speaks Cantonese and Mandarin. The Indonesian language has been influenced by many other languages, with Chinese being one of them.
A number of Chinese words are found in Indonesian due to historical connections. The Chinese language is a group of related languages which, despite being categorized in the same Sino-Tibetan language family, are not mutually intelligible in many cases. Out of the many groups of Chinese, Mandarin is by far the most spoken, followed by Wu, Min, and Yue (Cantonese). All varieties of Chinese are tonal and analytic. Mandarin Chinese is the official language of China and Taiwan, as well as one of the four official languages of Singapore, while Cantonese is the official language of Hong Kong and Macau.
Indonesian is a standardized register of Malay and the official language of Indonesia. Indonesia is a multi-lingual country and most Indonesians speak another language, however, the Indonesian language is used as a lingua franca. Indonesian is also recognized as minority language in East Timor.

please do an African language preferably somali but any will do
Good bro.. mantap jiwa .. sukses bro, good luck :-) .
I guess more similarities comes from Fujianese or Teochew. Teochew for Tea is Teh, so is Indonesian. So please do another video between Indonesian and Teochew or Fujianese. Im looking forward to the video.
Please do Altaic languages!
Uyghur vs Uzbek
Mongolian vs Kalmyk
please put the words meaning in the screen too 🙂
Firman should have his own channel
True
Agree
this Firman guys is smart!
For what?
For all his fans
good thing Firman is smart, 80% of these words i don’t even know existed in indonesia.
esp. when the "tang" part. I thought the Cantonese guy meant to say "tang" as in "pliers". Idk how Firman could interpret it as (lampu) teng-teng. And for all this time I thought it is called "teng-teng" because you carry it with your hand (ditenteng). Turns out it is a Chinese loanword lol
Firman is awesome. He even knows 'cha'. As we all indonesian never say cha for tea. But Teh, as Fujianese and Teochew peoplr say for tea. Good Job Firman.
Harry - Sebenarnya kebanyakan bahasa selain menggunakan kata Tea/Teh... dalam Arabic, Turkish, Japanese, Persian Teh = Çay atau Chai, atau Cei, dan di video ini Cha...
@@ismayanasusanto467 iya bener bgt. Krn smuanya mengetahui Teh dr China langsung krn hubungan dagang di masa lalu. Hanya bbbrp bangsa seperti inggris yg mengenalnya dr pedagang Fujian, jafi.mengenalnya sebagai Tea. N kbetulan mayoritas pedagang Hokkien dulu tinggal dan akhurnya menjadi warga Indonesia dan dikenal Cha sebagai Teh. Makasi Infonya
same
Firman is so smart. He knows lot of words, it makes me feel like a failure.
I like Firman and his smile :)
He is soo positive :)
Ksenija Srbljanović : i like you to : )
KOSOVO JE SRBIJA!!
Aku juga cinta kamu
Means who is the lucky girl now..
i like you too
Firman is soooo smart, most of us (indonesian) have no idea what he said. firman is so rich in vocabulary, i adore you, mr!
I feel like your videos comparing “Chinese” and southeast Asian languages would have been better if you used a Hokkien speaker
awesomeirlable Hakka?
@@goldend1104 No, Hakka and Hokkien are different
FIRMAN AGAIN :) It appears that Indonesian is probably one of the most diverse languages! I would suggest finding a Hokkien/Min Nan speaker either from Fujian, China or Taiwan when comparing Chinese with Southeast Asian languages. Most Chinese people in maritime Southeast Asia (Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia) are Hokkien/Min Nan Chinese and thus their Chinese influence on these languages is mostly of the Hokkien/Min Nan dialect
they are racist
i mean indonesian
@@Leo-jn5ny nah we only racist to chinese, there is background to this, in colonial age, dutch make a caste in their colonial territories, 1st citizen is European, 2nd Chinese and other like arab and indian, last is indigenous, chinese is special because of the whiteness of their skin they feel even superior than arab and indian, thus we indigenous more tolerated then the chinese, they the chinese community also very inclusive in their community.
hence we hate both chinese and european more than any other, of course at this age this condition getting more declined with more interaction between indonesian.
Chinese-Indonesian here, the Chinese in Indonesia werr typically used as scapegoats for all the nation's problems since long before Indonesia even existed back in the colonial era. Our true dark age was during the mass genocide of Chinese-Indonesians during the anti-communist purge committed by The New Order.
Our first muslim King is a chinese
Mr. Bahador. Indonesia is more closer with Chinese Hokkien than Chinese Cantonese. So in this video, we see Firman thinking hard for the words. Coz the words is Cantonese words, not Hokkien words. Chinese has many languages such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien.
Indonenesian is adopted Hokkien
Perhaps it's due to historical background of Hokkien. They colonize southeastern part of China that actually the land of Austronesian language people (the big family including Indonesia language, malay, tagalog, etc). But they absorb the Austronesian element before Austronesian totaly vanished or went to Formosa, long time ago
"dialect"
Yes, I agree with this, because the Hokkien (Min An Hua) is the most commonly spoken by the Chinese decendants in Indonesia. Cha which called teh in Chinese Hokkien, Ciu (jiu) which means wine which is also the word to describe the sugar cane wine, tahu as in tofu and many more
bener nih.padahal kalo hokkien banyak bgt yg mirip.lu gua lah,kwetiau lah,mi lah.wkwkk
@@amoldivo i don’t think it is dialect, but a seperate language with same writing system. Because some grammar also different in sinaitic language group, and vocabulary different. For example, Putonghua using 吃 for eat and some southerner using 食. Different pronounce, different glyph.
Hi I'm Chinese Indonesian, so i might want to clarify about the word "hong cao" or "紅酒" that Firman might be confused. We usually call it "ang ciu" in Indonesia and it is one of the most common cooking ingredient in every Chinese household. Ang itself means Red and Ciu (Jiu) means wine. It is very different from the usual redwine, since we most use this term for "cooking wine".
Finally.. Firman with his smile😂💕

Most of chinese in indonesia came from fujian province (southern china). They spoke hokkien language/dialect. There will be many words absorbed from hokkien into indonesian language and regional languages. Mandarin came from north china and only widely used in mainland when china became republic in 20th century.
Yes. So more similarities should come from Indonesian and Fujianese or Teochew. Like teochew for tea is teh. Like Indonesian teh
Why Chinese in Indonesian can speak hokkien,when i come indonesia,my friend speaking in hokkien,and they said speak English or Bahasa
@@hafizulliki1654 Certain people have kept the language, some others not.
Abdurahhman, i see. I believe its so similar, because teochew and hokkienese belong to the same family of language. Thanks for correcting.
@danza yes. Mayority chinese in smaller city in indonesia still speak their own mother tongues, either teochew, hokkienese, fujianese, hakkanese, cantonese or hainamese. Mainly because it is spoken by older generations and taught by them. Some younger generations do speak mother tongue mixed with some indonesian or completely indonesian only
I'm Firman's fan now :)
I hope this video would enlight Indonesians about the strong influence of Chinese culture in Indonesia and help eradicate the racial issues.
Many words in Indonesian, food(Nasi goreng, mie goreng), and various Indonesian traditions (Betawi) receive strong influence from China.
Btw, many Indonesian words are actually influenced by Hokkien instead of Mandarin and other Chinese languages so you may want to make a specific video for this.
I think, like or not, arab still have stronger influence than chinese culture..
@@muhammadraditz5074 i think indian culture has more effect than arabs, even more before islamic era in indonesia
Its a melting pot of various culture, custom or tradition.they all add richness to local culture.agree about hokkian influence.
The stronger influence in indonesia is china,
Many kings and sultans in indonesian marry chinese princess but no one ever heard married indian princess :)
Even chinese is one of the reason why many indonesian are muslim today
Even the words "Gua" (I) and "Elu" (You) are derived from South Min (Min Nam) or known as "HokKian" in Batavia during Dutch colonization and before Japanese colonization (now it is Jakarta, crowdest city in SE Asia maritime).
But those are unofficial words in Indonesian, but amazingly most of Indonesians regardless ethnic, race, culture, religions and languages use those words.
The official words for "I, Me" and "You, Your" in Indonesian is "Ako, Saya" and "Kamu, Kau, Anda, Anta".
The daily currency in Indonesian such as:
50 (Go Cjap)
100 (Ce Paek)
1000 (Ce Ceng)
1500 (Ceng Go)
1000000 (Ce Tiaw)
Are derived from MinNam language.
You say Indonesian foods such as "Bak Sao", "Bak Mie", "Bak Wan", even "Ke Ciap" (Sauce) etc all are derived from Hok Kian / Min Nam.
In Malaysia and Singapore, you can also see and find so numerous words, etc there.
If Firman says "Pangsit" (food), would the Cantonese speakers understand that word?
@@aquielos No it's too different. In Cantonese its "wonton." I'm actually not sure where the word pangsit came from.
Dan sebagai orang sumatera saya heran mendengar kata pecahan mata uang 50 ( Go Cjap)
100 (Ce Paek) 1000(Ce Ceng) 500(Go Paek), biasanya kata kata itu dipakai di daerah jakarta/jawa
@@xiraoit9342 di daerah medan kota sumut biasa bilang cepek, gopek dsb..
@@xiraoit9342 lampung ada jg yg nyebut ny bgtu kok😅
The Chinese language that both Filipino and Indonesian borrowed from isn't Mandarin or Cantonese, but Hokkien. So, the comparison between these languages would be easier to notice.
Yes, because they are the earliest migrant from China to Phillipines and Indonesia.
Same goes to Malay
USA too
Why No one Chinese in india ? and No one indian in China ? Why...Why...why
@@alpath4572 In Kolkata and Mumbai you'll find many.
I like how Firman acts like a true Indonesian (especially the Javanese) in the video. Most of us act and talk like this, it just feels so familiar.
Not a javanese but sumatera
@@xiraoit9342 Pfft Sumatran are loud and less work nothing like Firman at all
@@rickville8898 the language used by the word is standard Malay (which is made the national language in Indonesia), not Javanese
Mas Firman ini kok ya pintar, manis, baik dan positif banget, ya. Seneng ngeliatnya. Semoga mas Firman baca :D
Love this channel, I learn and get knowledge at the same time.
He's married you know, you can tell it by the ring on his hand.

i love Firman's smile..
he always smiles and laughs,,. yes, that's the hallmark of Indonesian people, _always smiling and friendly to anyone and anywhere_
I LOVE THE WAY FIRMAN'S SMILE. HE IS SO HANDSOME
Firman's smile is so contagious!
His smile... Omg i think Im Firman's fan now..
If you try with Hokkien speaker, there will be even more similarities
Firman’s smile ( best ever smile i’ve ever seen )
I am waiting for dutch and indonesian in teams, but this one is good ... hope this channel grow bigger... especially for bahasa Indonesia, the most influenced language by other countries.. We absorb so many word from persia, arabic, dutch,etc , convert into bahasa...
I guess they have made it, just check this one czcams.com/video/XCoUAisXaMU/video.html
I'll show this to my Chinese & Hong Kongese friends. Thank you! 😁
Awesome video as usual!
Wow this is awesome. How about the similarities between Indonesian and Afrikaans? I can't wait for the next video
it would be cool if he gonna make it~
I speak Teochew, Canto, and Mandarin! It's so interesting how you can hear how similar Indonesian is to Teochew and Hokkien (A language that a friend of mine speaks)
Is this cute boys video? Lol
IKR
The dark blue shirts of the three of you guys are actually a great match! :D Had you previously agreed to wear the same colour? :D :D Lol just kidding! Great vid as always!
Omg.. I didn't realized it hhaa.. That was called bromance.. 😂😍
Cantonese sounds so nasal...the intonation is interesting.
Thanks Bahador!
Firman strikes again!
Firman again....love it.
One of the most fun episode
Great video, as always. I wonder, how do you find all those words? I mean, you must be doing some research about it and you already knew the historical connection between the languages, but how do you know which word in one language has the equivalent word in the other? Thanks for answering 😃 and keep up the good work 💪🏻
Thank you. Sometimes it requires a lot of research, sometimes not a lot. I have our Instagram followers who speak the language fluently check them over.
Very interesting +Bahador Alast ! A very strong Chinese influence in Indonesia and not just since 20 years. Hokkien Chinese (the origine of the Chinese words in Bahasa Indonesia) must be a very rich language (less known compared with Mandarin and Cantonese).
I'm Indonesian and proud of Firman. Well done boy😍 and thanks for Bahador, you did great as always💘 ممنون عزیزام. Btw I ever learnt persian lol
❤❤
What a sweet answer😍
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS..😍😍 love this language similarities... thank you for making these videos...
"chinese" words that got absorbed into Indonesian are actually hokkien words. So if you can find someone who speaks that "dialect"(i'd say it's more of a different language really just in the same family as mandarin), i'm sure they'll do much better. (don't use malaysian hokkien/ indonesian hokkien or singaporean hokkien speakers tho, they understand Malay and or Indonesian)
Agree
@Jacky Phantom To hell with your long ass comment, I won't believe it anyway.
茶 is pronounced 'cha' in Mandarin. But 'teh' in Hokkien. So Indonesian took this word from Hokkien dialect.
酒 is pronounced 'jiu' in Mandarin. Known as CIU in Indonesian.
KONGSI is from the word 公司 in Mandarin 'Gong Si' , means company.
酒也是從福建話借的，如果是從普通話借，印尼語可能會寫成cio，而不是ciu
公司也是一樣
Gong Xi is also Teochew not sure abt Hokkien
The Teochew word for Tea(茶) is Teh/Deh depending on your specific region/village!
In our dialect kongsi/ kungsi means colaboration/share
In our dialect kongsi/ kungsi means colaboration/share
Beautiful video. Next time between Similarities danish and swedish?😊
Good work again !!!
Here comes my suggestion for one of the future videos. Try to research Russian vs. Turkish. You might get surprised by the fact that the two languages have much more words in common than we could actually think. I speak both languages, and had I lived in Toronto, I would be honoured to participate in this project. But I'm too far, and the only thing I can help with is to make a list with the common words that I know exist. Let me know if you need my help with that! :) Good luck for your future endeavors anyway!
Bahasa Indonesia banyak mengbsorb bahasa hokkian, dan hampir tidak ada bahasa kanton yang diabsorb, mestinya cari hokkian speaker, bukan kanton speaker.
Cukup mengherankan dia bisa merefer kata 酒 (ciu) dengan minuman beralkohol dan 茶 (cha) dengan teh.
Abin Adika Ranggala ciu itu udah g asing untuk istilah minuman berakohol
Ciu bacanya jadi cau... Aku kira pisang... Hahahahaa
Rahmah Solehah gua kira es cao
(((mengasorb, diabsorb, merefer))) lucu sekali, hahaha.
Setuju
That was a great video, again, from a great channel.
I feel the show would be even that much more enjoyable if the cards would be put on the table and the camera just rolled while only the two diacussed freely about the lots of things that must come to mind whenever they get a new word.
To hear the prononciation from both languages consistently for every one of the words in the cards would also be awesome, I felt like I could not get what it was that related between some of the words they were discussing on each round.
Thanks for this video, I was really looking fir this content, comparing languages and finding similarities.
As other people have mentioned, the Chinese influence in Indonesia is from Minnanhua. People from southern Fujian, Taiwan, Chinese in SEA are commonly minnanhua speakers.
I think you should do Dutch vs German as they’re very similar.
This is the second time i watch the videos on this channel. And i love if there is Firman. I think he id smart and humble and always smiling. He is so Indonesian. He seemed very appreciating of his friends.
And for this channel, i love it. Positif content for me. Give me a lot of knowledge. You look so humble and polite. You didn't interrupted when your friends was talking.
cantonese, teochew, and hakka speaking indonesian here! glad you guys did this video :)
I think teh (tea in english) is more similar in hokkien (one of the chinese dialect). In hokkien tea also called as teh. Same like in indonesian language
Yes thats right. Somehow its funny to know that, indonesian for tea is Teh (fujianese and teochew) but chinese glass is Cawan (mandarin 茶碗) in indonesian. I guess its time for another video of Fujianese or Teochew and Indonesian.
And kongsi from Indonesian (company in English) is gongsi in Hokkien
@Abdurrahman Syahid yes it is
Just wrote gongsi for Hokkien as though it were pinyin for Mandarin to mimic the pronunciation
It's true we borrowed word TEH from Hokkien dialect while the rest of world call it Cha
Thanks for the video broo 👌👌👌
Wow....great comparison as always. Didn't expect most of these. Great how the world connects in way we don't notice. Next Somalia and Korean! That'll be insanity unfolding😅
This is great video thank you bahador
Fun fact, the word “tea” has comes from the Chinese dialect of Minnan/Hokkien/Teochew “Dea”, whereas Cantonese and Manderin pronounce “Cha”
interesting. I didn't understand quite a few words somehow.. maybe a Hokkian (or Taiwanese) speaker would fit better since a lot of the Chinese loanwords in Indonesian are from Hokkian.
oh man this makes me want to learn Indonesian.. why you gotta do this to meee haha. it’s 2am why I am still even here
I like your videos very much. The one thing you should think about is "denoising". It's quite easy to do in Audacity.
This channel very underated, deserved more subs
Thank you :) We're growing! Really appreciate your support!
Yey Firman! 😍😊❤
You should add the English word for each word and how they are written in latin alphabet, other than that are a very good work, keep it up!
I like how the crew in the background sometimes jump into the show... :-))
If you are planning to do a video about Sanskrit and Russian i can help you since i study Russian and took Sanskrit lessons for 2 weeks 😅 They are surprisingly similar but Sanskrit is a very old language i dont know if you know someone speaking it
I like your content bro.. keep it up.. Love from Indonesia
Alah ngapausii
Try to see the similarities between Indonesian and French😂😅 Anyway thanks Firman for always bringing up the smile haha!
Firman looks so kind and charming ahhaha
紅酒 (mandarin: hong jiu / cantonese: hung zau) = red wine -> The Indonesian equivalent would be "Angciu" (taken from Hokkien word ang = red, ciu = wine). As for the Indonesian word "Anggur Merah" (anggur = wine/grape, merah = red) that Firman said, the etymology has nothing to do with "angciu". So no, the "Ang" in "Anggur" does not come from "Ang" in "Angciu". Because one means "wine/grape", and the latter means "red". The Indonesian word "Anggur" (wine/grape) comes from the Farsi word "angoor" (same meaning. grape).

Actually, I'm waiting for Indonesian vs Dutch in teams, but this one is also interesting. Most of chinese loan words in Bahasa Indonesia came from Hokkien dialect actually. Btw, can we have another language challenges like Indonesian vs Thai or Indonesian vs Hindi or any other languages spoken in India since those three languages are strongly influenced by Sanskrit (I guess? Please correct me). As always, thank you for video and keep uploading more interesting videos about languages! Cheers, man! :)
pls no

Indonesian and Thai will be very interesting.
@@harry-4070 I know right! Hahahah
I think most of the Chinese word that you asked was not Cantonese, but Hokkien (other dialect in Fujian Province).
Like example "Room", it pronounced exactly "Punk Keng" in Hokkien, or the word that Firman mentioned on Red is "Ang" is also from Hokkien dialect.
Hope it helps to understand more on the Chinese Dialect.
Thumbs up on your comparison video about language, it's quite interesting to see that language has the same pronounciation, which make me believe that the root of the language itself might come from only 2-3 languages (maybe) but it evolves through time, and become thousand of it.
Your new subscriber here😁
Greek vs Turkish please 🙏🏽😁 . By the way very interesting video ;)
Hey Bahador.. ur name says all. bahador means strong in India and ur brave of uniting people . Thanks for connecting different people..

Can you post the chosen word with its answer in the comparing language on screen so the readers can understand/know which words were discussed in the video? And I mean for every video since a lot of people curious about tons of loan words in Indonesian. Thanks.
Nice videos! More Chinese-related content if you can, thanks! :)
I speak Cantonese. Finally something I can relate lol
Well done!
Hello from Hanoi. I fancy both of them. Btw if you know any Vietnamese person living in Toronto, you can try to prepare a video language challenge/similarities between Vietnamese and Chinese. This would be very interesting.
Come on firman, make your own channel
How u get those reference of words. It just shock me that Bahasa and Cantonese have some similarities.
Why surprise? Indonesian have strong tie with Chinese influence in culture and language since ancient time although it was mostly from Hokkian dialect speakers from Fujian.
Nice video bro
In persian the word for tea is chai which is similiar to the chinese word . is it a chinese origin word ?
Usually you put the explanation text on the screen, so where is it?

can you make one with Berber (tamazight), I'm a native speaker.
I would love to! Just need a fluent speaker here in Toronto who is interested in participating.
Suggestion for future videos: Minnan/Hokkien/Hainanese VS Indonesian/Tagalog or Tai-Kradai (Thai, Zhuang, etc.) VS Austronesian (Indonesian, Tagalog, Llocano, etc.).
Oh my god.. firman. I like his smile! Hahah
Begitu juga dg senyumanmu hahaa
he is so handsome
'ang' is actually "red (紅)" in Hokkien/Min Nan, not comes from angūr; which is originally Parsi language انگور.
You should do a Cantonese and Vietnamese one using Sino-Vietnamese.
Advice from me, maybe you can make video lilbit deeper Indonesian traditional language such as sundanese, javanese minangnese compare similarities with others language
Awesome as always :) maybe you can do hummm French Italian or French Greek :)
I'm Italian and as I speak both french and Spanish, I can confirm that Italian is closer to French, but it has a lot of similarities with greek, like Okeanos (οκεανος) - Oceano (this means ocean)
@@ripperopz7569 yeah :) I have 3 origins and in those 3 I have Italian too because my grandma is Italian I undersand some words :)
@@joshuaultrainstinct5082 Hope you start learning italian, if you already speak a latin language, it will not be so hard for you. Maybe some sounds can be hard because they don't exist in English, but don't be afraid to learn another language. :)
@@ripperopz7569 yeah I speak French it can be easy for me to learn Italian and thanks :)
French and Bahasa, a lot of words in Bahasa indonesia has same pronounciation (and meaning) in french
I failed to identify any of those cantonese and mandarin words... :doh:
Wow, Firman is good... 👍👍👍👍
I am agree with you ... Because , I felt the same things like you ... I felt fail for identifying many of words in this Video ... O M G ...
Yeah, in the previous episodes involving Bahasa Indonesia, at least I could figure out several words but not this one, totally blank... :doh:
These Words' (more) closer used on Malaysia (Malay Language) than on Indonesia (Bahasa Indonesia/Indonesia Language) ... That's I think on my mind ... :-)
The counterpart of 'kongsi' in Chinese is 公司/kung si/ actually, meaning firm/company.
Interesting video!
Firman did quite well too..I suppose he's no of Chinese ethnicity which means he understands a lot of Indonesian loan words.
Ang Ciu (red wine) and teh both are loaned of Hokkian (Min Nan) dialect.
I've just realized that lobak (raddish) is probably loan word too from the Canton dialect.
Or just because both Hokkien and Cantonese share exact same word for raddish, but still Indonesian lobak came from Hokkien.
Even Mandarin word for raddish is 萝卜（luo bo) sound close enough to Indonesian Lo bak.
