Wow it's amazing hearing someone so fluent and using slang in Cantonese as an adult learner. I grew up with Cantonese and always thought it was too hard to learn!

@Mimi-si6qk Год назад

Spoken Cantonese is almost all slang. You should watch movies to learn it rather than study books. I can speak Cantonese and write (traditional), but when I buy books in Hong Kong, they are definitely not written the way they would be spoken. An obvious example would be 什麼事 (what’s the matter)? Which is never used in Cantonese. It would be said 你點呀 (nei deem ah) or 咩事啊 (mieh see ah)? But you would never see these in books.

Damn Daniel Wu trading his cool Chinese lunches in the US while I just got bullied and laughed at as an Australian born Chinese. 😔😔

I was at a Asian American film festival fifteen years ago and at the after party I was standing in line to buy a drink. There was a guy standing in front of me and I was like …wow that guy is really handsome. Turns out it was Daniel Wu buying a beer.

@davidcdun8896 Год назад

Daniel Wu's parents are from Shanghai. And he has worked with Jackie Chan in Hong Kong for many years, so he does have Cantonese. I'm wondering if he speaks Shanghai accent as well.

@dinghaoroyhu7516 4 месяца назад

His Shanghainese is kind of that old-school, traditional one, more authentic than what now the young people aree speaking

@okazay Год назад

The way you say “Mandarin” in Mandarin literally translates to “normal speech” in Korean :D as many of you know Korean borrows a lot of Chinese words. “Botong” means normal and depending on the character, hwa can refer to speech and dialogues. (Just a language nerd here XD)

@larshofler8298 Год назад

Daniel Wu's native tongue is Wu (Shanghainese). His second language is English. He learnt Cantonese in HK, and he doesn't really speak Mandarin.

@cathycai Год назад

Isn't WU the language from wenzhou ?

@anakitiktokwi2939 Год назад

Really?

@winxie3498 Год назад

His Cantonese is definitely better than his Mandarin 😅. He speaks Cantonese almost as good as his English, like his native language.

@daoyang223 Год назад

I forget that English can very well be his native language as he was born and raised here in the states lol

@jeffreytsao5710 Год назад

Wow. My recollection of his Cantonese was from 新警察故事，where it was accented but understandable. I can’t believe this is the same guy. Amazing.

@JamitMan Год назад

He's been in many Hong Kong movies. What do you expect lol

@buyungadil1 5 месяцев назад

He's good in both. In his earlier movies, his Cantonese had an accent.

@jujn4l Год назад

I think his Canto is better, but that could be my bias since I understand one and not much of the other. 😂

@davidsanders5652 Год назад

And Mr Wu will play Sun Wu Kong... my favourite character. I have a three volume translation of Journey to the West and have seen him in many films and TV shows. I shall certainly watch out for his interpretation - actually my real favourite is Guan Yin 'cause she is gorgeous.

@Mimi-si6qk Год назад

That’s blasphemy. She’s a buddhist deity who everyone has prayed to since they were little. Nobody thinks of her that way. That’s like saying Jesus is a hottie. I guess some things are lost in cultural translation, haha.

@davidsanders5652 Год назад

@@Mimi-si6qk Bodhisattva, NOT a deity. And, by folklore, chose that herself.

@SuzanneM4Y Год назад

@@davidsanders5652 Well, Guan Yin is believed to be a form of the Avalokitasvara bodhisattva, who is technically believed to be male (in Buddhism, only males can become bodhisattva). It is said that he took a female form to represent compassion and kindness.

@davidsanders5652 Год назад

@@SuzanneM4Y Yup, I knew that but could never remember the Indian name...too many syllables for my mind.

his cantonese is very good for a non-native, just the slightest bit of accent (not sure what kind of accent).

@kazewendy12 Год назад

As a 100% HK people I guess that probably be considered what we call ABC accent (竹升口音）

@OhGeeGanksta Год назад

I guess his Canto improved a bit, but his Canto used to be really bad. I still wouldn't exactly say his Canto is good though. Good compared to a foreign speaker? I guess.

@letsgowalk Год назад

Haha... it was terrible in Gen-X cops and Y&D: The Prequel. Full immersion living in HK all those years has definitely helped though.

@Blindswordsman1994 Год назад

It’s pretty good even though he has an accent, he definitely doesn’t struggle to find the Chinese words if you watch his interviews

@Ohmygawdddde 7 месяцев назад

@@Blindswordsman1994you can’t judge someone’s speaking ability from an accent. As long as he feels comfortable using the language and can express himself an accent is irrelevant.

@vampyrelycan99 Год назад

Yeah such a great Orinda native...... If only he could contribute more to the SF Bay film industry......

@humble_integrity 3 месяца назад

well actually, cantonese is more similar to vietnamese. while mandarin has 4 tones, vietnamese has 7. cantonese has 6. there's not that many similarities between mandarin and cantonese.

She is from mainland China (definitely not from Guangdong) That's why she's not good in Cantonese. Cantonese is widely spoken in Hong Kong & parts of Guangdong.
