Please teach us more hakka!! The language isn't as popular as it used to be and I want to reconnect with my roots. Thank you for teaching us! Hope you will make more :)
Glad there are more Hakka people trying to preserve the language. Even my cousins in china don’t speak it even though I live in the Netherlands I speak it fluently.
My mother would be a Cantonese Hakka but born and raised in Tsingtao Shantung. I never learned Hakka since my parents spoke Mandarin at home and I was born and raised in New York City. I seen pictures of my great grandparents located at the ancestral home near GuangZhou. I was raised in my mother’s ways and starting to explore my Hakka roots. Thanks for this vid.
I can understand. I was born & raised in Los Angeles. I mostly say I’m Chinese from Indonesia because most of my family is from Indonesia. But I still have my ancestors who are still alive in China.
I'm from Sarawak and most of the Chinese in my hometown speaks in Hakka, but I'm mixed and i want to learn hakka to be able to talk with my dad's (he's chinese) side of family. So thank you for this video!
Hakka Chinese from Sarawak,Malaysia here❤️ although there is slight differences in some pronunciation, I’m glad I found RU-vidr whom share the same ancestors
,, there are several different of pronounciation for Hakka as well, the hakka you spoken out is quite different in terms of tones and letters to hakka that I speak daily,,, such as "toilet" we called it "tsui kian",, but it is nice to know some different style of hakka,,,.. btw i am a Hakkanese as well from West Kalimantan.
I like all the burping! My wife who is Hakka Chinese saws she pronounces “good morning” not as “tsaw sien” but as “tsaw SIN”. Maybe it’s a regional thing for Hakka Chinese people as they are very spread out like you said. Her family originates from England and Amsterdam where there are some pretty big Hakka communities.
I love that you are making these Hakka videos! I speak Hakka but only to my parents. I want to be able to teach it to my kids one day. My parents are from Guangdong, I grew up in the UK and currently live on the east coast of the US. Where are my Hakka people! :)
My mom and aunt speaks Surinamese hakka and my dad speaks taishanese. I've been blending both languages since childhood so I always had trouble speaking to other Chinese people outside my immediate family. Thanks for sharing this video. I'm really trying to get back to learning about the origins of my mother tongue
Love your video. I'm Chinese, born and bred in Papua New Guinea and now live in Sydney, Australia. My mother is Hakka, my father Sze yup (Taishanese?). They spoke Cantonese and mum taught us Sze Yup. All 7 of us kids know a bit of everything and many years later have forgotten much. Listening to your video rekindles so much of what I have forgotten. Keep it up for us who are losing our identity!

I'm from East Timor too but I'm mixed Chinese and i speak Hakka. I think this version is a bit more influenced with Chinese than Timorese. Cuz my Hakka is a bit different.
I am from indonesia (bangka island)It is very interesting to find this channel. My parent speak in hakkanese. There are lots of hakka people in my hometown (From meixian, Guang Dong).
Hakka are nomads, originally coming the countryside and northside of China I believe, before the various migration streams to various parts of the world
999th Subscriber. Good to discover Chinese Hakka from Suriname. Usually would think it comes from Mainland, HK, Taiwan, SG or Malaysia but Suriname is a unique one.
I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much for doing this. It's so hard to find a place to learn Hakka. My ancestors are Hakka. They all passed away. They were from Meixian and moved to Southern Thailand close to Malaysia. I moved to the USA about 20 years ago. I still remember some words that my grandpa spoke to me when I was younger in both Hakka and Mandarin.
I grew up speaking Cantonese, Hakka and Mandarin and I always thought about Hakka as being a combination of Cantonese and Mandarin but with altered tones. 3:23 Tsieh soh tsoi lai. Tsieh soh is pretty much sounds the same in Cantonese but with different tones and Tsoi lai sounds like 在哪 in Mandarin
So growing up and learning Cantonese, living with my grandma, i kinda feel the same. I never realized it was a different dialect, until my cousins said they couldn't understand my grandma because of the Hakka (i always thought they couldn't understood because she mumbled). Also, thought some words had more than one way to say it 😅
Hakka and Guangdong is what I call a family language not a dialect. It’s the same thing as Portuguese and Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian, Laos and Thai, Standard German and Bavarian German. These are called sister’s language in Spanish and Portuguese. The Chinese people or school professors don’t know these languages exist in the other world. Taishan language is farther than Hakka and Cantonese just Italian farther from Spanish and Portuguese.
Growing up I used to learn Hakka with my grandmother... same variety you are speaking... I used to change how I say the numbers slightly to English sounding words and I didnt even realize until I watched this video lol :-)
The adults on my dads side actually speak hakka and ive wanted to learn for so long...I actually speak cantonese, my whole family does and I understand parts of it but ive always wanted to learn so I could understand more and talk to my family in it although I can speak to them in cantonese, but I really enjoy learning languages. So ty for this video :)) It helped a lot!
Lol! I’m Hakka too (family originally from HK). My 11 year old wants to learn more Cantonese and hakka, I will show him your video! I’m sure he will like! 👍🏼 😁
I really like your videos. Can you do more of these hakka lessons? There's not enough of these resources online. It gives me a connection to my Hakka roots!
I’m from Suriname. I spoke Hakka to my grandma when I was younger. I don’t have anyone to speak with so I lost most of it. This is a nice refreshment, keep it up. Instead of sit faaan (bon appetit) I also hear man man sit. Does that sound familiar?
My grandparents are literally straight out of the village in China. And growing up listening to them speak Hakka. No one ever taught me. I just listened and the last 5 or 6 years, I started speaking Hakka to my grandma since my grandpa had passed. I was afraid the dialect will disappear since no one else speaks it. My dad, sis and both my aunts only understands what my grandma says but doesn’t know how to speak in Hakka. Thankfully I learned growing up and now I can speak Hakka with my grandma. She does notice the American accent when I talk but I’m born in the USA so that doesn’t surprise anyone. And I’m going to pass on to the future gens to what I know.
Your videos are so useful, thank you 🙌🙌 My mom is Hakka also from Dongguan / Fenggang area. My aunt lives in Suriname, my mom and I in The Netherlands and the rest of the fam in Hong Kong and Mainland.. I never learned Hakka 😢 But thanks to your videos I can finally learn some words/sentences!
I am Hakka from Penang, Malaysia.In my Hakka we say potatoes as Holland shoo.Malaysia we import potatoes from Holland that is why we call it as Holland shoo.
Hakka langguage i think have a lot of various dialect and accent.iam hakka from bangka island. Indonesia. In bangka island i think you may be surprised and shock.when you hear the sound of bangka hakka.the sound like taiwanese mandarin. bangka hakka. i think more catchy and unique.when they speak hakka.not hard intonation but like sing a song. Honestly i proud to be hakka.hakka people never forget their grass root of hakka langguage wherever they are in the wold.for example you and me from different country and different dialect and accent.but i can understand when you speak hakka in your dialect.
I’m a Hakkaer from Shenzhen and ur accent just really sounds like where am I from, really brings me back to my childhood😭 and ur not posting videos now I’m so sad
Sounds like fuchow trynna speak hakka tho. Just like my aunt tryna learn how to speak hakka. A bit different with mine hakka accent but finally someone made this vid ❤️
Awesome tutorial MiMi 👍 , keep up the good work. I felt my inner chinese coming up to the surface, it would be cool if you post more of these types of videos and also power to the vegan movement , faith in humanity restored! Subscribed.
Was a bit confused at first listening you but then remember how my grandma talked cuz shes originally from a hakka speaking region and then i remembered hahah
I’m Hakka from Indonesia. I can relate lol. I don’t speak much hakka or Cantonese. I’m a mix of teochew, hakka, and cantonese. In indo, we mix Indonesian
Hi..love to practice my hakka, my granfather is originally from Guandong, and come to Panama City in 1935. Pa and Ma pass away, and need to práctice . Thanks for your lesson 👍👍👍
bruh my whole family speaks hakka chinese cantonese japanese and korean lmao my parents force me to learn. and im from guang dong, and now i live in australia learning italin lmao
Bro, I speak Swedish, English, Spanish, Dutch French, but not Hakka, my father's language, only a few words when it start to smell foul and then blames it on us.
My entire father side's bloodline is of Hakka (whereas mother side's bloodline is of Cantonese) but I never got to learn neither of the dialects because my parents spoke to me in Mandarin so I'm taking the chance to learn Hakka since I know a bit of Cantonese already and this has been very helpful!! And 1:52 is definitely something I've heard my Hakka grandparents say to each other
I'm a Hakka from Penang, West Malaysia. My grandfather knows how to talk Hakka but because my family don't know-how, my grandfather talks Hokkien or Chinese instead... I'm so embarrassed cause I'm a Hakka, but do not know how to speak Hakka...
There are lots of resources available online for learning Hakka (vlogs, dictionaries, online lessons). The best, of course, being other Hakka speakers. Good luck, and have fun learning!
i’m singaporean chinese and also a hakka! i cant speak hakka but i can understand it. really great for listening in on gossips during chinese new year haha
I've been speaking hakka since i was a child cause of my mom and dad speak them a lot here in my hometown Belitung, i had no idea the language is called hakka, welp glad that i know now ig😅
Klas6ix weird, my family speaks Hakka too. But it sounds a bit different. For "let's eat", we say "Shit pon" instead of "Siet fan". Basically we pronounce "eat" "shit", i'm not even kidding
I am from Sarawak. In Kuching main business district like Sg.Maong, and mile 7 ( Sentosa) and mile 10 ( kota Padawan) and its outlying suburbs Siburan, Beratok, Tapah and in Serian Town and Bau Town, hakka people predominates . The "sin onn", "hopoh"
I used to be really good at Hakka at 4 but now that I’m 13 I’ve gotten worst bc I’ve only been talking Dutch and English and sometimes Hakka when I’m at my grandma
Hi, I’m Hakkanese. I speak Hakka, but not too fluent in term of vocabulary. Just wanting to give some input about Hakka 客家. Basic translation is guest house. But it probably could be translated as guest family as jia (家) could also be translated as family. But it’s just my opinion. Please advise if there are some other different options. Cheers,
My dads side speaks hakka, my mums side speaks Cantonese, and I was raised in England. I'm fluent in Cantonese and English, but my dad doesn't really like to teach me hakka for some mysterious reason 😔😭
I'm from malaysia and there so many chinese people here. My cousin is a mix of chinese and malay. As their family I'm trying to learn mandarin just for fun and my cousin's native dialect hakka. Just tryna impress them 😂wish me the best
Btw malaysia is like a heaven made on earth for polyglots/language enthusiast because we got many people who speaks english,malay (melayu), chinese (mandarin,cantonese,hakka and hokkien), indian (tamil) and philipines (tagalog). As a language enthusiast I could practice those language on a daiky basis like hangin' out with my friends or just going to the night market.
Didn’t realize Hakka sounds very Cantonese lol my family is Hakka but I don’t know how to speak sadly. But more videos please!!! I want to learn and surprise my family
my parents talk this languange, very similar. i understand what they talked but i can't replied in that languange. watched this video really help me to back to my roots lol
I'm Taishanese(formerly known as Sunning) from Malaysia, a branch of Cantonese. It was a relatively close to Hakka, so I could understand Hakka mostly.
im also a hakka from malaysia, but i can barely speak it. i only knew sit fan, makai, yit ngisam si um. but the chinese langauges i can speak is mandarin cantonese and hokkien. however i can understand some hakka from some of it similarity with mandarin and cantonese. hokkien, is from a different world.
I am in a hakka speaking family and some of the pronunciations are different like, "where is?" tsoi lai, and also of "what" we sometimes say makai and sometimes just mai, I now know that hakka can have variations depending on the regions I think 👍👍
There are a lot of hakka dialects depending on where you are from. I am raised in South Africa and my family spoke Meizhou Hakka with me from an early age. My fiance is Heyuan Hakka. We don't have the same pronunciation for most things.
True, I've learned that there are many dialects. If you're interested, you can join a Hakka discord server, called Hakka | Chinese Language. People there speak many different variants :)
Sin-辰- means the sun, I think, because 辰運 means doing sport in the morning with the first symbol as the morning and the second as sport I’m from Hong Kong btw, so don’t blame me for not knowing how to write in simplified Chinese lol And also, thanks for preserving this language since our great “Winne the pooh” decides to sabotage all dialects and writings except simplified writings and mandarin, leaving many behind to its former glory
