In mainland I have also heard 卖萌 (selling adorable) to mean something like 撒娇. It’s used especially when someone is acting cute to try and get someone to do something, it seems.
I really like that you're speaking more mandarin in the intro and outro 😄 thanks so much for all the great videos, your channel is so much more watchable than a lot of more formal language stuff
Hi. Im starting to enjoy learning Chinese, thanks to you. ☺️ I also like the way you speak, its sounds natural and not robotic. Looking forward to your next videos. ❤️
The phrase 緣份 can be split up as 2 separate things:緣and份,where 份is 身份social status. This term 緣 has Buddhist origin . When a couple split up it is 有緣無份. They have fate to get to know each other but not last to the end with martial status. Thanks for making video. 辛苦了
Diogo Souza when using 老是, the speaker generally expresses a negative idea, for example, 你老是这样不顾别人感受，you are always not considering others’ feelings. To express always in a positive way, you could use 总是, i.e. 她总是这么努力，she’s always so diligent.
As a Japanese, I have hard time explaining what 尴尬 is in Japanese, although I use this word a lot. On the other hand, we have words that explains 辛苦, 撒娇, and 缘分.
Thank you so much! Can you make a video recommending or rating chinese tv shows/series/movies in general like the quality, the simplicity of the language they use and how commonly used the slang is. Also talking about music too!! Immersion is important and media is my only way
Hi Grace! I just started youtube channel on teaching mandarin Chinese and was searching how other online teacher is teaching! And youtube suggested your channel and I watched one of your videos and by now I think I have watched most of your videos that realised your teaching skills are so awesome that learner must love you ^^ I had experience in offline teaching but got zero experience in online teaching! Thanks Grace that I have learned a lot from you! COVID-19 nowadays is so severe that take a good care dear! Good day ahead !!
Is the phrase 辛苦了 something that sounds formal, like a boss would typically say to employees? Or if your close friend cooks a big meal, and you want to show appreciation, would it sound natural to say there? Or perhaps to thank a teacher for preparing a very thorough lesson? Thank you so much😊
In my experience, it seems like most people use it with most people. It's like 謝謝你的努力 "thank you for working hard", so if your boss did something nice you could use it as a polite thank you. If your friend cooked yoy a nice meal its also a nice way to express thanks. My friends even use it for shop workers, for example at New Years when they're very busy but still find time to help you, you can say it, like a 喔我現在知道你很累很忙 "I know lately you're really busy" kind of thing 🙂
Great video! A lot of things are lost in translation so it's important to learn another language. I was teaching my students the word "厉害" (li hai) and failing to come up with an accurate translation. maybe "impressively/intimidatingly good"?
Nah. 辛苦 is often used to describe the work someone is dealing with is rough, so you can say 你的工作好辛苦 (your job is so rough). I don't think you can replace 努力 and 辛苦 in any occasion, they are different meanings. :)
Hi Grace👋 Could u do the second part about the video about the diferet accents in Mandarin Chinese? I think is a very interesting topic and I would like to know more:)
hey I love your channel. all the videos are very interesting and useful. just one suggestion, is it possible that in the future we can donate using something other than PayPal? I hate it and it forces me to give them a lot of personal information like my ID number or cellphone and whatever just to donate which makes no sense and feels like an abuse. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
@@GraceMandarinChinese I donated to lichess using stripe(dot com), I bought study content using Gumroad(dot com), any of those is fine I think but I'm sure there are other options
