When you’re a native Chinese speaker but you didn’t know the difference:
太真实了。母语者都知道怎么用，但是大部分人解释不出来那些细微差别。
Some suggestions:
完成 vs. 结束
变化 vs. 改变
变得 vs. 成为
周 vs. 星期
感到 vs. 觉得
Thanks!
I’m a native Taiwanese 但是 still learn a lot from your video! Thank you!
Same! As a native speaker we never thought about the deeper meaning and usage of 但是/可是, this video is blowing my mind
但是可是既是即是所以是以须要需要
@@oraorao8245Hello!! I'm learning Taiwanese Mandarin and I'd love to make a new Taiwanese friend to chat with :)) would you be my friend?
你好！ 我學習臺灣中文和我想要臺灣朋朋！
@@Hween900 you aren’t asking me but i would love to👋🏻
但是 is 'but'. 可是 is more like 'however'
Feel free to let me know which synonyms you'd like me to analyze next! 💛
I think of danshi as "but" and keshi as "however" i just started watching your video!
❤
I love all your work, but this was the funniest.
May I suggest? Reuse the three skits, but just with a voiceover discussing what happened in Chinese, just soft sub the dialogues. It would be an interesting video to discuss the emotions and psychological attitudes and tell the story of how YOU wound up with the worlds most clever, witty, selfish, greedy, sarcastic, mean stingy sister! There really are a whole bunch of attitudes emotions and an entire backstory.
Grace. Why is your twin sister so ... evil. Tell us all the story. We won't judge and are far cheaper than any therapist!
I LOVED IT
plus you can teach us nicer insutls than lvcha and biaozi (I am ex military so of course i go for the jugular with swear words)
this voiceover backstory idea with omniscient perspective can also use sound effects and would be technically super easy, no new filming just dialogue and transcript.
WHERE DOES IT HURT GRACE
WHAT ELSE DID SHE DO TO YOU GRACE
you're brilliant.
The "b" in "subtle" is silent. 😊
Very engaging video lesson and it made me sit through the entire video! 👍🏻
Just to share with you that my experience in SG is that we use "可是" more often than "但是" regardles of the tone of voice in speaking. Maybe because we add the "mah", "meh", "lah", "lor" sounds at the end of our sentences to enhance the tone of voice instead of using different words.
今天我第一次遇到您的CZcams页面，一看就订阅了，谢谢我是坦桑尼亚人可是我非常喜欢学中文，明年我希望能去中国硕士学习。你看我已经用可是了，看你的视频以前我每天都用但是，但是现在我知道了
This is what I need ~Thank you so much❤
I love your skits and examples!
Thank you for this video 🤗!
Love all of your videos, really helpful for improving my understanding of the language nuances, and of course, always appreciate the entertaining presentation! Keep up the great work, thanks!
Grace, just wanted to say you are a really good teacher. The funny dialogues and extracts from actual films/series really help. Thank you!
Your videos are very well done. Keep it up!
Finally u upload l love your channel so much bcz it's easy to understand you explain it well 😊
Thank you for sharing your amazing videos, learning a lot things ❤
very very good language channel! I learned chinese more than 20 years ago, but haven't been using it as an everyday language. It helps a lot. Thks a lot!
new follower here, got hooked on based on your Malaysian Mandarin video. I'm a Malay who can speak chinese, everything that you presented was totally relatable. Good job!
Been watching your videos a lot to learn mandarin thanks grace 😎
Thanks for making this video. I have asked several people about the difference between 但是 and 可是, but no one could give me a straight answer until now 😆
Hi~~ I just wanted to share that I’m so happy I understood all of the mini dialogues before the English translations came up! I already watched your videos when I was in Germany but my Chinese was very bad then and I had to rely on the translations. Now I’m living in Taiwan already for 2 months and suddenly I understand everything. I really like that you used authentic daily life example, it’s exactly like what people here have said to me. And now I finally learned a politer response from your video to when someone offers you food and you don’t want it. I always just said: 我不要 but thought it sounds kinda rude but wasn’t sure how to express it differently. So now I want to try using 我沒有很想吃. And even though I have heard 可是 quite a lot of times, I didn’t know there was any difference to 但是 and I just always used 但是 but now I’ll definitely try using 可是 more to sound nicer!
Awww I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing. It warms my heart 🥰🥰
@@GraceMandarinChinese Omg thank you for your reply❤️❤️
Thank you I checked the video everyday
great lesson on video again
感谢你老师。🙌🏼
不客氣（不客气）☺️
Interesting, never thought about those nuances of those words like that before. Thanks for sharing! What would you think of the word “不过”? What kind of tone is has compared to the two words in your video? Since if use it in a sentence, a lot of the times it could be interchangeable with 可是 and 但是. I guess it also sounds more verbal.
I would love to see a video on the differences between 剛, 剛剛, and 才剛. I know that the last one is just 才 + 剛, but their usages seem to sometimes overlap and sometimes only one or two can work in a sentence with different nuances. I'd love to finally have some clarity on this so I can speak with confidence. 謝謝！
lol I’ve always struggled understanding the subtle differences between these two words so I’m glad you made this video. Is this the first time your video used a green screen (or whatever method you used to remove the background)? Looks cool😃
Hi Josh! I actually didn't use a green screen haha, so that's why the quality wasn't so good (I only removed the background with some editing software) 😝 I'm glad you liked it🥳
謝謝、Grace!我學到了!
I hope you're enjoying/enjoyed your trip to Japan😉
謝謝你！我去日本玩得很開心🥰
Thank you
😅 😂 Thanks for the humor 🤣.
I learn more this way. 👍
I like your acting also.
On many levels, Chinese is difficult even for native Chinese people😅, thank you for making this great video and sharing with us and look forward to more 👍🌷☀️
So cute and interesting!
Thank you for this great video. May I ask you what about 不过？
hi grace =) could you do a video about the relative clause? i kind of struggle with it..
Good job keep going
這個視頻非常有意思，有趣的。我真的感謝這些subtle differences。謝謝郭老師！可能下同義詞的課妳跟我們可能解釋：一定，確定和肯定。
I have been studying English, studying English humor and Western culture for many years.
I’ve made a video about the comparison between Chinese and English and many videos teaching Chinese in graphic and funny ways. Hope they can help in learning Chinese.
Can you do a video explaining either time words and their order for example the differences between 晚上你来我家 and 你晚上回来, or the sentence structure for saying "i have been ..." like "i have been watching a show" "i have been learning chinese for 3 years" etc
谢谢 for the awesome videos
晚上你来我家means you invited someone to come to your place tonight. 你晚上回来 can't be explained without a specific context, but it generally means someone lives with you and he or she will come back (home) tonight.
GRACE!! ❤❤Thanks for another fun & funny😄 lesson I love the cut scenes the classroom scence is definitely me I leave immediately when I hear class is over because I know its a chance the teacher will try to add something on top of homework 😄& the look of shock & disgust when you realized neither of you had your wallet priceless 😂 #LongLivepresidentGracewiththeprettyface #Nodebate #danshi vs Keshi #dont4getyourwallet #She4gotit 😮🤣
Looks like both words are related to the food somehow =)
😂😂
雖然我住在台灣15年了，但是我不知道"但是"跟"可是"怎麼不一樣，謝謝老師
As a trilingual (Chinese dialects, English and Malay), I get confused with many words. I simplify it where 但是 (dànshì) is more of "however" and 可是 (kěshì) is more of 'actually'. That is how it influences my usage.
"虽然没有华厦美衣裳 但是心里充满着希望"
"我很丑 可是我很温柔"
"有谁想过有始有终 不过是一时脆弱让人放纵"
Can you do a video about all the uses of 的 and 得
a lot of Chinese can't distinguish it as well hhhhhhh, take it easy
Great video. 可是 “不過”呢?
謝謝，this video is very interesting and instructive! Grace, 能不能解釋一下「他告訴我」和「他跟我説」有沒有什麼區別？
完全莫球得区别
No difference, maybe just regional difference. I’m from GuangDong I prefer 他跟我說
I'd like to see a video on 勤奋/勤劳/辛勤/勤勉/勤快! It's my understanding that from most common to least common is the order I've written it here, but I'm not sure if that's correct.
勤劳 is more for physical labor. from the word 劳动。hardworking physically.
勤奋 is the more common one when describing someone being "dilligent".
thats my take.
please tell me how your english is so good ,please tell me! thank you!
What about 还是 0.0

hola sabias español creo o solo ingles saludos desde lima peru
I think there is also 'buguo'... 对吗？
A:沒帶錢包也不用怕那餐廳可能收Apple Pay or Google Pay?
B: 可是電話也沒帶但是可以借電話叫朋友幫忙.
I think "可是” is short for "可惜是”？ so it is different from "但是”, which is more like "however". I am not so sure.
可是 looks like 可惜是, but they are not the same. If you translate it into English, 可惜是 just means "REGRETFULLY" or "UNFORTUNATELY" whereas 可是 is just "BUT". In your example sentence, 可惜是 can be used in Mandarin in place of 可是 just like you could in substitute BUT with UNFORTUNATELY, and likewise in both languages, the meaning of the sentence changes somewhat. In has the implications of a "missed opportunity" rather than a simple "BUT".
I really like this style of video, but most of my friends are from China (my wife is from Beijing), and I am worried that I will learn Taiwanese pronunciation/terms that confuse them.
Sadly my Chinese is still poor after 20+ years, but I can pick up words in conversations and read some words.
I can't really self study - I need a teacher and structured classes. The times I noticed big improvements was when I were forced to speak to/listen to Chinese speakers.
I think more people just say 但 for 但是, and 可 for 可是.
It's there any difference between China pinyin and Taiwan pinyin because my teacher teach me different pronunciation
Grace, will you make a Tiktok account sometime?
”那是刚刚，现在想吃了。“ 笑死我了 😁 非常感谢您，老师，我会将这把句子用很多！
I think it should be 我会经常用这些句子 or 我会把这些句子用得很多
@@TweenkPL谢谢，你绝对正确。你也学中文吗？多久了？
@@Thedennati 对，我也学中文，已经学了三多年了 :)
Do you have any online classes if yes please give the details
Hi! I currently don't have any online classes available. However, if you're interested, please email me your email address. (My email: gracemandarinchinese@gmail.com) I'll reach out to you once I start offering courses or when enrollment begins. Thanks for your interest!
Hongkonger here and i don’t know the differences 😂😂
but to be fair we speak cantonese and we use 不過 to express “but”
we don't even use bu. Don't say butt. Butt is for butts. we use 唔. We do use butt in cantonese singing.
You can consider be actress as part time
Hahaha thanks😎😎
WO HAO XI HUAN ZHONG GUO
Not always true though. Don't stifle use of contrastive connectors where the perceived difference is insignificant.
What's the reason to translate 这个看起来很好吃 (this one looks tasty) as 'this looks really good'? It's not a single example of replacing a good literal meaning of words with another one only to give a general understanding of what is said, but not what exactly is said. It doesn't help to learn words.

CZcams knows I’ve reading Chinese LN thru scanlating 😂
XIE XIE NI LAO SHI NI HAO BANG A WO AI NI
2:00 Really enjoyed your acting here as : "Bitchy girl in all-black with backwards hat".
作为中国人我不知道怎么回答这个问题😢
As a Canto speaker, I naturally default to 但是. Hmm, I wonder if that makes me sound more rude…
但是，可是，也许是。
不是，就是，不就是。。
I love how some things transcend cultures, the guy with the backwards cap is always bad news
台湾汉语博主在用拼音教学，🉑。小尊重一下
這兩個詞混用是可以的，外國人這集看不懂沒關係可以跳過，因為我也沒有到很懂😅
對這兩個詞常常可以互換（就像我在影片前面提到的），不過因為它們還是有些微的差異，所以在某些語境下我們可能會偏好使用某一個（例如 03:07 那邊如果用「可是」就有點奇怪）。這部影片就是要讓學習者了解兩個詞細微的差別，讓他們選用更適合的（當然如果不了解也不會對溝通有很大的影響）

You’re omitting the most common form of “but” in casual speech: just “但”.
