People Try To Pronounce The HARDEST Words in Southeast Asian Languages!! 

As a Filipino, I'm disappointed she didn't bring in "nakakapagpabagabag". Even Filipinos struggle with that one 😂

This Indonesian talent is so intelligent and full of confidence. I've seen her several times here and in different channels already, she can explain something that might be too complicated for this kind of channel in a very efficient way, altho not always precise (it doesn't need to be). Keep her on guys.

As I'm a Thai native, please allow me to correct the things as following: The meaning of "กรกฎาคม" In the clip, it showed as "กรกฎาคม" means "June" but it actually means "July" the "คม(Khom)" end means there is 31 days in the month, not 30 days. The word "อุณหภูมิ" should be pronouced as "อุน หะ พูม (Oon-Ha-Poom)", according to Thai National Dictionary 2011 edition (พจนานุกรม ฉบับราชบัณฑิตยสถาน พ.ศ. ๒๕๕๔) The rest was correct, thank you

As a Vietnamese, I have some hard words right here, yeah WORDS: khúc khuỷu, chuệch choạng, ngặt nghẽo, khuya khoắt, quặt quẹo,.... SENTENCES: -Ông Bụt chùa Bùi cầm bùa đuổi chuột -Buổi trưa ăn bưởi chua Hope you guys can read those words well! - Ae nào ng VN nhớ like bình luận này nhé!

I'm from Thailand, and I can tell you that that word doesn't mean June. It means July.

Indonesians and Filipinos are definitely cousins.

Indonesian and Filipino are both Austronesian languages. Cousins to languages in Micronesia and Polynesia. They are quite different from every other language in mainland Asia. They have multiple syllables, are not tonal, and you can basically pronounce them exactly as they are spelled. The fact that they have multiple syllables mean you can make mistakes pronouncing something and still be understood. They're both similar to the unrelated Japanese and Korean languages in this way. Thai is Kra-Dai and Vietnamese is Austroasiatic. Both are mostly monosyllabic and tonal, like Chinese. Which is why it's difficult to spell in the Latin alphabet. They are the most difficult because the pitch of the vowels determines a word's meaning. And being monosyllabic, words can often be spelled exactly the same. But if you get the pitch wrong, the word means something different.

Indonesian and Tagalog (Filipino) were really easy for me. They both sound nice and pleasant but are indeed far removed from English. They do sound kinda European in a way. Thai was challenging but I feel could be mastered with some practice. Vietnamese on the other hand… Well, let’s just say, when people often talk about Arabic, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese being the worlds most difficult languages I think they should include Vietnamese in that list. The examples given weren’t thaaat bad but I’ve tried learning it and had a similar experience to the American girl learning Thai… I’ve spent about 15 mins of introductory Thai and Vietnamese and fave up on both lol

Hi, I’m vietnamese and vietnamese is one of the 15 hardest langues in the world, it hard in many ways with each people, like the tone in one word like she said, some word in english when traslate to vietnamese have so, so many meanings, for example, the word “die” in english can translate into : chết, ngủm, tèo, tỏi, and many different word, or some of the pronoun is “speak” like each other but it completely different like : s and x, gi, d and r. That’s all what I wanna say, if you’ve read all the way down here, I appreciate it and a thank in vietnamese : Cảm ơn nhiều nhé

please keep the girl from indonesia on, she's really confident, humble, and well described every words

The Vietnamese words you guys chose were like 5/10 in difficulty. There are much hard words to pronounce corectly. And Southern accent makes them like 20% easier🤣

I am a Filipino and I noticed that there were some Indonesian words that were similar to Tagalog.. And it's easy because they were pronouced and read exactly how they were written. When I was an ESL teacher, I have taught some Vietnamese and Thai students and to be honest, for me, they have the most difficult languages to pronounce.. much even harder than Chinese.

Indonesian and Tagalog are both part of the Austronesian language group. In fact, even within the larger Austronesian language group, which includes languages spoken in Taiwan, Madagascar and across the Pacific islands, tagalog and bahasa Indonesia sit in the same branch and share many similarities.

I'm Vietnamese and I love this video! Có ai ở đây người Việt ko ae?

I think one way that would've helped the others when it came to pronouncing the Filipino words was to break it down to syllables, because the Filipino language is actually similar to Japanese in the sense that their words are also pronounced syllabically. One of them had a good idea in the way they viewed the word "Kinakailangan" where they broke it down to "kin, akai, lan, gan", but if they instead viewed the word and broke it down as "Ki - na - ka - i - la - ngan" there is a difference. That can also apply to the second word "Kumukutikutitap" where they could break down the word to "ku - mu - ku -ti - ku - ti - tap". Though still, great video!

Tagalog is pretty easy to pronounce. The difficulty comes from the letter combinations, it's usually very tongue twistery.

The word "lưu luyến (v)" is best understood as "linger". Commonly used to describe one's feelings for their ex or "undesire to part ways". We have a different word for nostalgic which is "hoài niệm (v)" or "hoài cổ (adj)", hoài cổ usually refers to the further past with generation gap or even the ancient time.

Seru bangettttt! Kayak cewek-cewek lagi ngerumpi. Mbak Yang dari USA duduknya santuy banget, haha. Mbak dari Thailand ceriwis, mbak dari Filipina accent Inggrisnya enak banget, dia juga seru, Mbak dari Vietnam kalem tapi seru juga, Violin antusias, heboh, lucu juga. Semuanya lively pokoknya. Great job 👍👍👍👍👍

3:48 the American girl was trying so hard not to say that word..

Quick correction for Thai , กรกฎาคม is "July" khm or Kom (คม) represent the month with 31 days Yon (ยน) is the one you use for 30 days

I found the wrong in Thai part. 1. กรกฎาคม (Krkḍākhm) means July , 7th month not 6th. June in Thai, we say มิถุนายน (Mit̄hunāyn) 2. อุณหภูมิ (Xuṇh̄p̣hūmi) in Thai reads อุน-หะ-พูม (xun - h̄a - phūm). This words from 2 Pali words, อุณห (Xun-h̄a) means heat (we don’t read อุน-นะ-หะ (xun-na-h̄a) or อุน-นะ (xun-na)), and ภูมิ (phū-mi) means degree or intensity. In Thai, ภูมิ (p̣hūmi) in อุณหภูมิ. We cut /i/ sound, so the word อุณหภูมิ (Xuṇh̄p̣hūmi) should read อุน-หะ-พูม (xun - h̄a - phūm). However, if you read อุน-นะ-พูม (xun - na - phūm), Thai people can understand that you mean temperature but the pronunciation is incorrect which some Thai people are the same way.

Indonesian was purposely created easy and bacame the Official language because Indonesia itself has over 700 local languages across the archipelago. So, we can communicate to each other with the same language.

Thai, Lao and Vietnamese are really the only major tonal languages in SEA. Most of us do not speak a tonal language. Also please bring back Myanamar 🙏🇲🇲

They should try Filipino word "PINAKANAKAKAPAGNGITNGITNGITNGITANG-PAGSISINUNGASINUNGALINGAN".. that means a lie that makes someone in rage

It's great to get to know friends from different countries. I really hope to have new friends from other countries and share culture and everything, how fun❤

Vietnamese has many tones, but you read and speak as you write, and you can speak each word separately. Unlike English I don’t know how to put “stress” in the word because it just doesn’t mark on paper.

I'm Indonesian, based what i saw vietnamese very hard bcos of the tonal differences, philippines just similiar w Indonesian, in Java we have "Kelangan" there the NG part, similiar word. for Thai somehow its difficult if you read the romanized of thai

I am a Filipino and I belong to the Muslim Maguindanaon tribe here in Mindanao, BARMM. And the Indonesian language has a close similarity in terms of pronunciation with our Maguindanaon dialect here in Philippines.

I like violin’s personality so much! inilah yang dibutuhkan untuk mempresentasikan indonesia dengan baik~

The most difficult to pronounce : Bangkok's full name

3:30 In Thai we categorize the number of days in each month with the suffixes “คม:Khom“ 31 days and “ยน:Yon” 30 days but there is only one month that uses “พันธ์:Phan” That is February which has 28 or 29 days. Example: Today is Monday, December 18th -> วันจันทร์ที่ 18 ธันวา*คม*

Don’t be afraid to learn Thai. Even the native can be wrong, just like in this video. กรกฎาคม (Karakadakhom) is actually July, not June.

The Filipino breaking into song got me 💀💀💀

Inggris : Sir, do you want drinking some tea? Indonesia : Tuan,apakh anda ingin minum teh? Sunda : Teh, ngeteh teh teh teh tehh?

Here’s reason why Filipinos and Indonesians are loved each other, unlike Russians and Ukrainians: 1.Both are same races called Austronesians and their language(Indonesian and Tagalog) are belong in this family 2.Their relationship started very long ago before two countries became sovereign states where trade and military ties became common thing like Maguindanao-Ternate Alliance 3.It’s easy to become friends between the two peoples not only in home countries but also many parts in the world like Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. commonly domestic workers 4.Sulawesi and Mindanao are related in language and culture because due to proximity, some Indonesians live in Mindanao like Davao Region and Sarangani majority of them are from Marore(Sangirese) 5.Philippine-Indonesia Relationship are best diplomatic relations in the world since the establishment of two sovereign states after WW2 and Indonesian War of Independence and it was remained uninterrupted for more than 75 years 6.Some Filipinos and Indonesians are embracing each other culture such as Filipinos loved Dangut, Si Patokaan(which is apparently a Folk Song of Indonesia) and JKT48(which is my favorite girl group because these members are beautiful) and Indonesians loved Original Filipino Music such as Jose Mari Chan and Yeng Constantino and Indonesians loved MNL48 as well 7.Puteri Indonesia and Miss Indonesia are loved in one region in the Philippines, Calabarzon Region since 2022 because the residents are respect Indonesian Pageant Lovers and they are neutral from Pageant Fan Wars like me, which is not only a fan, but also a lover of these pageants because some candidates are my puppy love like Yasinta Aurellia and Farhana Wisandana 8.Unlike the Western Tourists in Indonesia where some of them are rude and misbehaving resulting in arrest and deportation, mostly in Bali(such as Australians), Filipino Tourists in Bali are well behaved and law-giving and very friendly to Balinese which is one of the most behaved tourists in Bali 9.Government officials of Two countries are well communicated with regards of agenda about economy, security and protection of each two countries 10.Long Distance Relationship between the Philippines and Indonesia are impressive because just not only friendly but also very loved where some Filipina loved Indonesian men or Filipino men loved Indonesian woman, too and the best common word is “I Love You” exchange 11.Maribeth, a Filipina who was popular in Indonesia with the hit Denpasar Moon in the 90s and Anjeanette Japor in the Philippines who was beauty pageant contestant representing Lucena City in Miss Universe Philippines 2022 There are so important for me why Indonesia is my favorite country so as far as I know, I learned Bahasa Indonesia on Duolingo and other language application and they are many others: 1.I loved Indonesian food(which is my favorite are Rendang, Satay, Nasi Goreng and Mi Goreng) 2.Puteri Indonesia, Miss Indonesia and Miss Mega Bintang Indonesia are my favorite pageants and some candidates are very beautiful and I admire them such as Puteri Indonesia Lingkungan Yasinta Aurellia and Puteri Indonesia NTB 2024, Putri Ayu Diana(which is my favorite because my favorite song is Diana by Paul Anka dedicated to her) 3.I like to visit some Indonesian Cities like Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Semarang, Denpasar, etc. to meet some locals 4.I love to visit Indonesian Landmarks like Monas, Borobudur, Komodo Dragon Island, Uluatu Temple, etc. 5.I respect the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo which is my favorite leader aside Bongbong Marcos in the Philippines With all my heart of Indonesia, I hope to see you in Indonesia and I will waiting for you to come if I stay much longer because I love Indonesia so much even I’m Filipino myself Love from Calabarzon Region in the Philippines 🇵🇭💕🇮🇩

The Thai girl pronounced "Nyanyi" exactly like Mandarin "難以", quite cute.

So where is "mempertanggungjawabkan" this word may confuse them a lot 😂

If you want to learn to read Tagalog(Filipino), I recommend practicing reading the abakada chart which is basically an indiginized or simplified Latin alphabet adapted for Tagalog. Once you know how to pronounce the vowels and make the sound of the consonants it would be very easy as Tagalog is just pronounced the way it is written.

One of the most difficult thing for people learning to speak Filipino is pronouncing words with the "ng" digraph, such as "pangalan" (name), "simangot" (frown), and "ngiti" (smile). One way of learning to pronouce Filipino words with the "ng" digraph is to take an English word like "singing" and break it down to its component syllables. First, prounce it as "sing-ing", then combine the middle "ng-i" into one syllable: "ngi." After that, drop the "si" and final "ng." From there, try pronouncing "nga, ngo, ngi, ngu, nge."

the women in the panel were delightful. indonesian and filipino languages are very similar due to the fact that they come from the same root language. and we're kind of generalized under the Austronesian blanket covering the majority , if not all, Southeast Pacific islands. but man, ang cute na man sa babae galing sa thailand lol

9:54 she is everyone in my Mandarin class 😂 It’s difficult to wrap your head around the concept of tonal languages if you don’t grow up with it. Violin did well because she speaks Hokkien and Mandarin, but most Indonesians would struggle like Jedney did. As their languages are close cousins under Austronesian family, Indonesians and Filipinos would have little difficulties pronouncing each other’s words. As do Thai and Vietnamese due to the fact both of them are tonal languages, despite not coming from the same language family.

Javanese (the majority ethnic in Indonesia) has two "e": e pepet and e taling. Indonesian language has actually three "e". In the past, we used ê for e pepet (just like "mênggonggong") and é for e taling and è for the third 'e'. And then, we discarded it to make Indonesian language more accessible to all ethnics and made it easier to be typed using QWERTY keyboard.

Actually, one of the most difficult word to pronounce in Vietnamese is... "Nguyễn" - family name of 40% of Vietnamese people

As a Filipino, I also get the pronounce wrong on the word kumukutikutitap (twinkling). But I think there is a hard Filipino word missing. This word is called nakakapagpabagabag or (worrisome) in English. I lot of us filipino's is having a pretty hard time trying to pronounce this word 😆.

Out of many languages I've learned (Madurese, Javanese, Indonesian, English, Japanese) tonality is still a weird concept to me. I learned a bit of Arabic but yeah it's still hard.

In Thai, Karaoke in that context is used to mean romanization. So whne Thai people say "Oh can you just type in Karaoke" they mean that instead of trying to type out the word using Thai words, just type it with latin. One thing I constantly notice about all these channels, is they always fail to put the correct romanisation and the structure or word doesn't make sense and then they expect foreigners to pronounce it. Like Temmiie is just reading the Thai word of course, but if I didn't see the Thai word then I also would have no idea how to say it. I hope they work on this and improve it for next time.

Every Filipino knows the hardest word in our vocabulary is "NAKAKAPAGPABAGABAG"

OMG THE LAST WORD IS VERY FUNNY IN THE PHILIPPINES LU-LU-IN 🎇🎆🎇🤣🤣🤣

In Thai, "ใครขายไข่ไก่" (kʰraj kʰǎːj kʰàj kàj), meaning "Who sells chicken eggs?" can indeed be challenging for foreigners. Temmie's suggestions in the video might highlight words many Thais mispronounce in their daily lives (including her). but good effort Temmie! 👏

8:25 "Sữa chua" means Yogurt. But if you guys speak like the American girl at 8:45, it would sound like "Sữa chùa" which literally means "Milk temple" (Yeah, it doesn't make sense 😁) but figuratively a.k.a slang, "Sữa chùa" means "Free milk" 😁. At 9:09, when the Filipino girl said the word, she actually broke the noun "Yogurt" into 2 meaning words mean "Jellyfish Sour" (might be a food name but doesn't really make sense). Just some funny information from native Vietnamese if you guys interested. Also love seeing international friends try to speak my mother tongue 💚.

Try nghiêng ngã, ngoằn ngoèo, bâng khuâng… these are much more difficult

As a Vietnamese, Chị người Việt không được nói bình thường như mấy người khác ở Việt Nam.

honestly, standard Indonesia language harder than slang Indonesia language, because some of the words are difficult to pronounce or difficult to understand... like "No" in standard Indonesia language is "Tidak", but most of Indonesian mention it "Nggak" or "Gak". or like "lah" "kok" "banget" "kan" or "anjir" which if translated into English, the meaning of some words will change or perhaps no meaning. btw the longest word in Indonesia is "mempertanggungjawabkannya" 😁

"kinakailangan" means needed, like when needed (or kapag kinakailangan). Then "mahalaga" in Filipino means important, "kahalagahan" means importance, "halaga" means value.

Filipino here. I was expecting they will include nakakapagpabagabag (worrisome in English) as hardest Filipino/Tagalog word since even some of the Filipinos find it difficult to pronounce. Kinakailangan and Kumukutikutitap isn't that hard tho.

I thought they’d do : Nakakapagpabagabag for Tagalog, but maybe that’s a good thing coz that’s a tongue twister even for Filipinos.

If you are Vietnamese, it will not be difficult to imitate the accent of any country in the world. But to be able to speak Vietnamese, you will definitely need 5-10 years of practice depending on each person's level to be able to read fluently. Not to mention that Vietnam has regions and each place has its own pronunciation. There are 3 main regions: North, Central, and South, which means you will hear the same country in 3 different languages. It's not like English between US and UK, it's a difference in pronunciation and intonation, even if you're Vietnamese, it's hard to hear the accent of people from a different region than you.

To me, Asian languages are hard but sound familiar. Each languages can translate pronounce into (native language). "sữa chua" and :" lưu luyến " kind of easy, "ngoằn ngoèo" means "zig-zag", khúc khuỷu means "bend" Vietnamese marks with vowels " ue oai"we have a ă â ạ ậ, ặ, e ê ể ê,...... that is truly a challenge

I've met Indonesians who can speak Tagalog before, they're definitely good, arguably the best ones I've met.

The Tagalog word "nakapagpapabagabag" is still the most difficult for me. Even writing it is hard.

I’m Thai and that word doesn’t mean June, it mean July. And Kom mean that the month has 31 days not 30 days. So I don’t know what in the hell is this lady talking about.

I was expecting NAKAKAPAGPABAGABAG for the Filipino word.. just by reading the title of this video... and was disappointed it wasn't used. hehehe

The indonesian pronouncing the tagalog words sounded to me like a Accents here in phil. Cos alot of people here tagalog is not their mothertang.. tagalog would be 2nd or 3rd languange or no tagalog at all..

A tongue twist with each language would be good , especially see the lady of US trying to pronounce 😂

A small tip for non-Indonesian speakers who struggled to say the 'ng' part, it's like the 'ng' in language or English, but the placement can be either at the beginning, middle, or end of the word

🇻🇳 The words in this video are quite easy to pronounce. Below are some words that are really difficult to pronounce for even native Vietnamese speakers: - Nguyễn /ŋwiən˧ˀ˥/ - a common surname for 40% of the Vietnamese population. - Nguyệt /ŋwiət̚˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - moon - Nguyện /ŋwiən˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - pledge, vow - Khuya /xwiə˧˧/ - late at night. I have seen many Vietnamese people pronounce this word as “khuê” /xwe˧˧/ - Khuỷu /xwiw˧˩˧/ - elbow; bend. Some Vietnamese people pronounce it as “khỉu” /xwi˧˩˧/ - quặt quẹo /kwat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ kwɛw˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - frequent illness, emaciated and atrophied - Ngặt nghẽo /ŋat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ ŋwew˧ˀ˥/ - laughing so much that whole the body tilted. Northerners often pronounce as “ngặt nghiẽo” /ŋat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ ŋwiew˧ˀ˥/ while Southerners cannot distinguish between the final "t" and "c" sounds and cannot pronounce the "ngã" tone. - “Chuếnh” /ʨwəjŋ˧˥/ - Slightly dizzy like when drunk; and “chệnh choạng” /ʨəjŋ˧ˀ˩ʔ ʨwaːŋ˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - In a state of loss of balance, tilting, wobbling from side to side. These two words are not difficult to pronounce for Vietnamese people but will be difficult for foreigners. However, Vietnamese people often have difficulty spelling and writing correctly. Some Vietnamese people misspell these words as “chuyếnh” and “chuệnh choạng” Another word, it's not too difficult to pronounce but more and more people misread it: - thuở /tʰwəː˧˩˧/ - when. Vietnamese people tend to replace it with “thủa” /tʰwə˧˩˧/, maybe because pronunciation is easier.

"i think every1 got their gong gong part correct." That sounds wrong

I'm native Vietnamese, and here is a fun fact about our language. So the girl in the video, although I'm not so sure which province/city she comes from, she clearly comes from the south. And we the south people don't exactly pronouce some syllables. The "sữa chua" for example, we say "xửa chua" instead like she did in the video. Same situation happens all along the country so some elderly, mostly the uncles and the grandfathers, can recognize your exact hometown by your voice😂

Challenge 😈: Try to pronounce this word in Tagalog: Nakakapagpabagabag Or if you want something challenging try the extended version: Pinakanakapagpapabagabag-damdamin

Thai is probably one of the hardest language in Asia.. I am not Thai but seeing job postings that can speak and translate Thai languages pays a lot so I would say it is the hardest language to learn lol! 😅

"Kinakailangan" isn't "important" its direct meaning is "NEEDED"... Important is actually "importante". "KINAKAILANGAN natin gawin ito" = "We NEED to do this"

hi i'm thai ummm กรกฎาคม is july คม=30days and กรกฎา is กรกฎ is mean cancer [zodiac] อุณหภูมิ is called อุน หะ พูม [Xuṇh̄p̣hūmi] and it's mean temperature

Actually tagalog like sumbawa (One of the regions in Indonesia) language, There is also a dish that has almost the same name but the cooking is the same, we call it singang while the Filipinos call it sinigang 😅

it's fun, makes me smile when i look them all, thanks...

this is great..why only now youtube..i will definitely binge watch this channel

Kinakailangan means Needed or required Im a Filipino

One of the hardest words to pronounce in Indonesian is “ngengat”

The filipina should take the "nakakapagpabagabag" word for the challenge 😆

I'm glad foreigners try to pronounce our words, but I'm kind of disappointed since they didn't add “ Nagniningning ” and “ Dumadagundong ”, I got the Nagniningning from our National Anthem since a lot of foreigners specifically, Americans have trouble pronouncing it due to them not seeing the words clearly. 😅 Fun Fact: My cousin from Indonedia told me that Some schools or most of the schools in Indonesia play their National Anthems and sing it before doing our National Anthem and doing the same like what they did to theirs! How cool is that? 😊

In my opinion, the hardest vietnamese word to pronounce is "ngoằn ngoèo" for sure.

Indonesian in average is multilingual, and because majority is Muslim, we also can read and write Arabic. It makes our tongue pretty adaptable to produce various kind of sounds. But when it comes to producing tone. Nope ... we give up. Except for some Indonesian Chinese who speak Chinese languages at home like Mandarin, Hokkien, etc which are also tonal, like Violin.

Filipinos be like: Where's "Nakakapagpabagabag"?

Some of my best buds in my training and stay in Japan were Thais...and their words are so hard...even their names. Most of them don't speak English so we use Japanese to communicate.

A fun Filipino phrase she may have shared based on tone, "Bababa ba? Bababa." 😂😅

for Filipino words i would say one of the most difficult words is NAKAKAPAGPABAGABAG!! as a Filipino myself i cant even say this as i type it LOL!!

as an Indonesian ... m8, that's not even hardest! try "mempertanggungjawabkan" (to take responsibility) and "permusyawaratan" (civilised disscussion... or just discussion)

Try pronounce this "i am sorry"

"Krkdkhm" It's not June It's July lol

Sorry but for us Indonesians the tagalog word KINAKAILANGAN is not hard AT ALL in fact it's so very EASY to pronounce it in our AUSTRONESIAN tongue , we also have the so called 'ng' pronunciation as same as our filipino brothers ( eg. lapangan , karangan , serangan , keuangan , kekurangan, sawangan , kubangan etc )

As someone who grew up with Tagalog (Filipino), I thought it's an easy language to learn until I tried to teach it to my kids. Here's a sample conversation in Tagalog that would sound funny to someone who does not understand it. *Guy outside elevator:* _"Bababa ba?"_ (Is it going down?) *Guy in elevator:* _"Bababa."_ (It's going down.) 😂

I'm surprised the Filipino didnt mention the "Kataastaasang Kangalangalangang Katupunan ng mga anak ng bayan"

I thought the hardest vietnamese pair of words is likely "ăn" and "anh". Including the word "Lưu quỳnh" and obviously I'm a Vietnamese person but still cannot spell it☠☠☠. I just keep saying "Lưu quần"? All of these were my opinion so yeah... idk what is the hardest Vietnamese word for foreign people. Btw have a nice day, everyone!!! And enjoy "Tết" in Southeast Asian countries!!!❤‍🩹❤💌

In fact, there is a Vietnamese word that is very difficult to pronounce even for Vietnamese, which is the word "thuở", most people will pronounce it as "thủa".

the girl in green, Filipina, I don't think Tagalog is her first language. she has a foreign accent from what I can hear.

The Filipino can't even help herself not singing kumukutikutitap and I think that's beautiful

Indonesia : Nyani Thailand : WHAT DID U CALL ME

I’m sure she did not use “nakakapagpabagabag” as hard to pronounce because she herself can’t pronounce it because she’s Bisaya. Relate!

I think in their discussion they missed one important feature in the Filipino language and that is the STRESS or ACCENT MARKS. You see, like the vietnamese language, the Filipino language also uses accent marks like the words "babà" which means chin and "babâ" means down. Stress marks are used to elongate the vowels sound, so if you pronounce the vowels longer then it will change the meaning of the word. For example the word BÚKAS is pronounced as BUU-KAS which means tomorrow while BUKÁS is pronounced as BU-KAAS which means open.

I agree that Filipino is generally easy except for treating “ng” as a consonant and the length of many native words. Pronunciation is quite easy because only short vowel sounds are used, like “a” as in “at” and never as in “late.”

From my experience (I lived and worked in foreign countries for half of my life), one of the hardest Vietnamese words for foreigners to say is actually... my last name: NGUYỄN. I haven't met any foreigner who say it correctly yet :). And if you meet a Vietnamese name like "Nguyễn Khuyến", then basically it is game over for you :D.
