i noticed this too! i picked up the onyomi version years ago from a tv show i watched, since it was part of the central antagonist's weapon name (kyouka suigetsu). the last part was translated as "water moon," so i thought it was odd she only mentioned that character could be read as mizu and not sui which is way closer to the chinese pronounciation.

very good catch!

油管式评论真是够无聊的，

The trick is that Koreans are very precise with pronunciation of vowels and diphthongs, but sloppier with consonants. This is the opposite of English speakers, where often English dialects are characterized by differing vowel pronunciation. Some of the Korean vowels, especially the diphthongs, sound very much alike to me as an English speaker who's reasonably fluent in the language.

谢谢你的喜爱

As a Chinese, I also think there is no need for conflict between China and India. Both countries have their own great culture and long history. The government should do its best for the people's lives, not political attack.

Well said 👏

very well said, can't agree more.

Hope both India and China are not being used by imperialists!

I had a girlfriend from South Korea when I lived in US. To make a joke to her, once I said I knew a Korean word. The funny thing is, I told her a word only used by North Korea, so she was kind of mad haha

if you are Koeran, do not make this kind of writing, because it looks like being prisoned in yourself

Vietnamese....is the most elegant language let's put it that way

Kanjis? Dude, apparently you don’t know anything about Vietnamese! It’s said that Vietnamese has nearly 70% of Sino-Viet vocabularies(which are borrowed Sinitic words like Japanese). The fun fact is that Vietnamese’s official written language used to be classical Chinese that ended in 1920. Further, in pronunciation, Vietnamese pronounced the Sino-Viet closer to middle Chinese than Japanese. I’ve yet to mention that ancients Chinese words are deeply entrenched in Vietnamese, that the natives think it’s part of Vietnamese and not Chinese… While it’s true that Vietnamese is a Mon-Khmer language, it uses the same percentage of Chinese loan words (Kanji in Japan) as Japanese… Maybe your wife should have taught you how to correctly pronounce those Kanji words 😂😂😂😂😂

Perhaps next time you may wish to remind her that Vietnamese historical texts were written in KANJI. HANOI is 河内, Vietnam is 越南, and Ho Chi-Minh is 胡志明 in KANJI. The phonetics of Vietnamese, however, is a different matter. Whether listening to Vietnamese or Cantonese...that is a challenge. I'm sure you know who 阿倍仲麻呂 is (and his famous poem in 百人一首). He served in the Tang Dynasty and later appointed to the Governor of Northern Vietnam and was stationed in Hanoi. His official title was 安南節度使.

@@sara.cbc92 Vietnamese grammar is very simple for an English speaker. But if a person can't handle the tones, which are harder for people as they get older, they won't be understood and will have trouble understanding. The same is true with Chinese. Japanese grammar is much different from English, but isn't as complex as people make it out to be. It takes longer to learn sentence structure, but it's easier to pronounce. There are more sounds that don't exist in English than the video mentions, but if you don't know the difference between the H, W, N and other sounds in English and the ones in Japanese that are represented by those letters in Romaji, you will still be understood.

@@verumverba5711 That's the point though. It would require being taught how to pronounce those Kanji words to get them right in Chinese, or to get those 70% of Vietnamese words to sound like their Chinese equivalent. If you wrote out the Chinese words with the Roman alphabet and compared then to written Vietnamese, it would be easy as an English speaker to recognize the similarities. But if you are a Chinese or Vietnamese speaker, they will more likely sound like different words despite having the same roots. The bottom line is that you can't look at Kanji from Japanese and figure out a Vietnamese word, and if it were possible, then Japanese speakers would pick up on a lot of Vietnamese words and vice versa. On the other hand, there's little need to teach people how to pronounce Japanese words once they know the sounds in Japanese for each syllable. There are a few things that English speakers have problems with, such as double vowels and consonants, but once they are learned, reading becomes easy.

Good supplement. Thanks.

Thanks!! 😊

Thank you! 😃

I agree with you completely as a Japanese girl;)

Have you read about unit 731?

rarely see a Chinese malaysian speak English with such a proper grammer.

@@profoundmemory I’m not sure if your comment is an insult or a compliment. However, one thing I know for sure is that you can’t spell.

That would be great, maybe a discord channel?

You are Chinese? I have started learning Chinese recently and I would like more interaction with the locals.

I'm learning Mandarin then I'd like to learn Korean because it doesn't use characters (hanja is for very specific uses), since Korean and Japanese have a similar grammar that would help me then by knowing hanzi I can take advantage to learn kanji. Since I'm a Spanish speaker pronunciation shouldn't be much of a problem, but who knows.

I'm Chinese, I'm learning English by myself,but it is difficult for me,can you teach me English,and i can teach you Chinese😅

@@maklam3935 whom are you asking ?

i am talking to you,and i gald to see your reply,thanks,good luck

There are 808 Chinese characters that are shared between all 3 languages (old Korean hanja writing system). The pronunciations are often different so it is still difficult when learning simultaneously. The grammar structure is very similar so that definitely helps. For me it definitely helped to use resources that break the character down into radicals and showed the origin of the radical so you can mentally associate.

¿Hay algún recurso para saber el origen de esos radicales?@@ChrisP978

Korean and Japanese have almost identical grammar. Chinese has the easiest grammar by far.

@@rokko_hates_japan Difficulty of Mandarin is not its grammar per se. However, you get several terms with seemingly the same meaning but a lot of subtle differences, using them correctly can get tricky. And then there are idioms - 成语, which add another level of difficulty :)

progress is progress no matter the speed, keep going, you got this!

As I understand she doesn't speak/isn't learning all 3, only Mandarin. This video was to introduce the differences and similarities between the 3 :)

Aw thank you for your very thought-out comment! So glad you enjoyed the video 🥰🥰

Yesss it’s so cool!

So true but it has 9 different tones!

Actually Korean and Japanese are closer to Minnan (Fujian language) than Cantonese or Mandarin, I speak all three fluently since I was a kid in Singapore.

@@vincentyip1118 oh I didn't know it, that's cool !

FYI, the Vietnamese language also has much influence by the Cantonese words.

Not entirely correct. There are six categories of chinese characters. Pictogram is one of the six. However the majority is on the category of ideogram plus phonetic. Just an example of this major type. 評 means to comment. 言 is the pictogram part to denote things about talking, speech etc. 平 is the phoetic part.

呜呜呜,I also want to study in UK

Hi !! i wanna learn french

Why have i just read in my basic korean book that Kim had many scholars helping him in that duty?

I can't find any important reason invest time in pitch accent.

@@AthanasiosJapan This is exactly the reason so many Japanese learners speak with a thick foreign tongue. Correct pronunciation of ANY language is the most important aspect and it's a shame so many ppl don't think so. Using another language as an example, if you can read/write/listen/speak Chinese at a native comprehension level, BUT your pronunciation is slightly off, compared to someone who can speak it with a native pronunciation but maybe doesn't know nearly as many words, the second person will be viewed as having a native grasp of the language and the first person will forever be perceived as someone who merely studies the language.

@@oliver_peng Japanese people from different areas of Japan have different pitch accents. So, if you have friends from various areas and naturally learn from them, inevitablly you will end up having a messed pitch accent. And that's completly fine.

@@AthanasiosJapan That's like saying if a person mixes Australian accent, American accent, British accent, Irish accents it'll sound normal. Except, that's not even what actually happens. The reality of foreign Japanese speakers is more akin to a person who speaks English with a heavy Chinese accent. It's understandable and passable, but really grating to listen to and screams that they're a non-native speaker. People will start speaking slower to you and dumbing down their words because they assume your Japanese level isn't very good.

@@oliver_peng Japanese speak to me exactly at the same speed they speak to other Japanese. I live in Japan for 20 and never noticed any trouble in communucation. Actually, what I have noticed is that Japanese can easily understand foreigners who speak Japanese with heavy foreign accent.
