wow what a great content! many times when learning, students don't pay attention to these differences and think the words are simply interchangeable, when in reality it depends on the context (formal x colloquial). thank you!!

@jansonleung3393 5 месяцев назад

Very interesting, I use all the words frequently in everyday Cantonese speaking, especially 未，to the extent that I don't use 没 much when I speak Mandarin.

@Laowaixianggang 5 месяцев назад

That's interesting! Are there many formal words in Mandarin that sound casual in Cantonese and vice versa, perhaps?

@jansonleung3393 5 месяцев назад

@@Laowaixianggang Yes, many. In fact, if you speak Cantonese using Mandarin vocabularies and grammar would sound like Shakespearean English.

@anpleidhceeireannach9498 5 месяцев назад

未 in Cantonese is informal,and it means 還沒, whereas in written Chinese,未means 沒有or 冇. In Hong Kong,未 is used in formal written text eg未經許可... but Cantonese speakers might confuse this as meaning 仲未 instead of 沒有。It's worth noting that 沒有isn't informal, it's formal as well,but 未 is very formal. Most of the "formal" text in this video is classical chinese. 白話文can be formal too

@anpleidhceeireannach9498 5 месяцев назад

@@jansonleung3393that's not true at all, you'd just sound weird if you said "他是我的朋友”instead of 佢係我嘅朋友 Mandarin is modern,and therefore not Shalesperian You'd need to speak in 文言文to sound Shalesperian , using 之instead of 的 etc That's a very bad comparison,

@williamcanton5825 5 месяцев назад

Learned a lot of new meanings in some old words. The most tricky one is "其" to mean his, her, or its depending on the context. I always thought it meant "the other". I didn't know that "之" can also mean "it" like you said the phrase "称之为".

@anpleidhceeireannach9498 5 месяцев назад

其他 literally means its other,the 其means its. You really need to study classical chinese to understand this

@yazars 5 месяцев назад

Oof. It may take a while for those of us with fewer opportunities to practice formal speech/writing to build up proficiency using these words. Because it is important to not mix formal and casual terms, a long list of comparable words could be helpful for learners. In the meantime, misuses of these are definitely going to be giveaways that somebody is not a completely proficient fluent speaker.

@anpleidhceeireannach9498 5 месяцев назад

A lot of these formal terms get used in everyday speech such as idioms and phrases. If you want to go beyond asking directions and chatting about the weather, they're really essential.

@GraceMandarinChinese 5 месяцев назад

You’re right! So it’s important to read more to understand how and when to use them in order to sound natural.

@user-og1nu5pb8c 4 месяца назад

本人為韓國人，來華期間已有20多年之久。就好比視頻中所示，要達到高級中文水平，學習一定程度的古漢語或文言文是必不可少的。中文的一大特點之一可謂口語與文言文之間的區別非常大。 By the way, I can see your English is very good. Where did you learn it? Seen from your Chinese accent, I guess you must be from mainland China.

@anpleidhceeireannach9498 5 месяцев назад

Most of the phrases in this video are from classical Chi and anyone who reads Chinese at a reasonable level would know them quite well And anyone who has read basic classical Chinese would know all of these.

@yelinbinicisi3642 5 месяцев назад

My problem with formal writing is, I am not sure whether I should change or not. e.g. 之，shall I change ALL 的 and if there are words which I don't know in formal, so when I write a mix of formal and casual vocabulary, does it look weird? Is it ok? Some other comments are: As I know 因此 is the formal way of 所以 and actually you have the pair 因為。。。所以。。。informal, daily speech and 由於。。。因此。。。 for formal, written language. What my teachers told me about 未 was, that it is already meaning 還沒, for example 未婚 for single/unmarried literally not yet married, I guess 尚未 is to make it really clear or to emphasize 還？And as I know you need different syntax in written language?

@anpleidhceeireannach9498 5 месяцев назад

Generally speaking,avoid replacing 的 with 之 even for formal writing. Use 未 on its own as a prefix,as in unmarried but 尚未 for a full sentence eg 今尸屆的會議尚未舉行

@anpleidhceeireannach9498 5 месяцев назад

因此 isn't a formal replacement for 所以。因此means "because of this" 所以means "therefore" They're different. Also,所以 is formal and it's actually a Classical Chinese phrase that made its way into everyday speech. It can be used formally as well. 此 instead of 這 or 這裡 is an example of formal use. For example, you'll often see signs that say 請在此等候

@Kotsuyosama 5 месяцев назад

It seems that you are trying to write in classical Chinese (文言文）, but TBH I can't really get what you mean in that sentence... as it looks like classical Chinese grammar and phrases mix with modern Chinese 🤔. (the grammar of CC and MC are different) In most scenario today, classical Chinese itself is way too formal, but it's a good idea to learn some, and one to two sentences in correct classical Chinese grammar can polish the article😉.

@anpleidhceeireannach9498 5 месяцев назад

Using 之 as an object pronoun is for classical Chinese only. In the example in the video,it's a set phrase and that's why it's used. Written Chinese has set phrases and expressions from classical Chinese that are inserted into text,and knowing when to do it can be tricky That's a weird 異體字 you have for 遊戲

@paiwanhan Месяц назад

So you are basically saying Taigi is formal Chinese. 其 is pronunced as ê, and 未 is pronounced as buē. So 你去過我ê店buē in Taigi is literally 爾去過我其店未？

@ericab3919 5 месяцев назад

The way I think of 之 is like "of" but its backwards. So "大谷翔平之城市" means "City of Shohei Ohtani" whereas 大谷翔平的城市 would be "Shohei Ohtani's city"

Pity you don't bother to pronounce the final sounds of your English words properly, especially short words e.g. " five" which you repeatedly pronounce " fai", or losing the "t" from "not" and "about". Very annoying , especially when the rest of your presentation is excellent.
