Is there any other pronunciation difference that you noticed between Taiwanese Mandarin and Chinese Mandarin? Feel free to share it in the comments! 💛

@ycyang2698 4 года назад

Taiwanese keyboard warriors are so harsh that they forced Grace to separate Taiwan from China, although according to the constitution of ROC, they are part of China.

@kathakailin 4 года назад

I'm not sure it counts as pronounciation difference, but I noticed my Taiwanese friends use a lot more of these endings (forgot if there is a term for them) such as '啦' '咯' '呗' which makes their expression sound more lively to me. maybe you could make a video about these? (if you haven't yet, I only found you yesterday ^^°)

@maximilianisaaclee2936 2 года назад

As a Chinese Malaysian, Taiwanese Mandarin sounds much closer to our Mandarin, and I've recently started learning Taiwanese Mandarin to make my Mandarin more complete, it's easier for me tongue and also easier for me to imitate locally without people thinking that I'm weird especially when I tried imitating Beijing Mandarin. In a way, Taiwanese Mandarin is just the nice middle ground, not too thick, nice just nice, it also sounds more intimate, not too strict like the Mainland Northern Mandarin.

@nihongo453 8 месяцев назад

@hayabusa1329 6 месяцев назад

Northern sounds barbaric and unpleasant. Taiwanese/ southern sounds way nicer

@whatchahowsya8688 4 года назад

I started to teach myself Chinese when I was in around middle school and I learned through watching and listening to Taiwanese media/entertainment, so naturally I picked up the Taiwanese accent. However by the end of high school and up through college, I took official Chinese classes where the standard Beijing Mandarin was taught. I've always known there was a difference between accents, but now I speak with a weird mix of the two. I find myself interchanging words or tones and it's super entertaining. I'd say I use a much more mainland accent now just because that's what I'm used to. I hope to move to Taiwan soon so I figured I get familiar with Taiwanese Mandarin again and your videos have been super helpful and fun to watch. Definitely subscribed.

@pabloa_e 2 года назад

Haha but from North to South in China, the accent is also totally different 🤭. Don't worry in fact about your accent, they are surely a hundred different Chinese accents but Beijing and all the North called the Inner Mongolia (I think) use the standard accent. The south is near Taiwan accent in fact(starting under Shanghai, that is most the middle), if I can say the same ! My family are near from Wenzhou and I can assure you that we speak almost like Taiwanese lol (I think only the change of tones, and the zh, Ch, sh and r are not rolled)

Ive lived in Taiwan for a while so I was able to immediately tell the difference. So far in college, I have yet to meet a single Taiwanese person. I also realized that I only speak mandarin with my Taiwanese friends but almost never with my Chinese friends. However, a few days ago, I overheard a table in my dorm restaurant a group of people speaking in the Taiwanese accent, and I was able to recgonize it instantly. Chinese accents also have their own variations. Standard accent is different from the Hong Kong accent.

@gilbertkhoo899 4 года назад

In South East Asia, where the chinese descents share the same Hokkien origin, people also have pretty much similar pronounciation like Taiwanese that confuse me when I learned Putonghua. We pronounce Zh, Sh, Ch without rolling tongue, only put our lips upfront. Also, here people add many "k" endings sound, which is very related to Hokkien sound like Tak Chek (read book), Pak To (stomach) so you will often hear people pronounce Chik Fan instead of Chi Fan (eat), Xiek Shen instead of Xue Sheng (student). The mixing F and H sound also happen here. Hu Shi (nurse) becomes Fu Shik, Li Hun (divorce) becomes Li Fen (I mostly hear it in Indonesia).

@wmq1900 2 года назад

Taiwanese are the same as the Chinese you know from Southeast Asia, they are all Hokkien by descent and culture

@natalieho655 3 года назад

Wow, most of these are surprisingly accurate and it was interesting to learn the differences. I grew up in the US but my parents speak Mandarin to us and I never knew that our mandarin was different from Chinese mandarin. also, we use traditional not simplified in Taiwan. Wow, that last ending, -eng and -ong hit close to home.

@natalieho655 3 года назад

@sailo r , I saw you posted a reply in my notifications but it's disappeared. This is an answer to you and anyone else interested.

@natalieho655 3 года назад

As Grace explained, there are differences in pronunciation as well as accent. There are also differences in our writing. Taiwan uses mandarin Chinese while Mainland china/hongkong uses simplified Chinese which were the subtitle language (and sometimes Cantonese). You learn to recognize similar characters between both languages but I personally think mandarin (traditional) Chinese is prettier. You can search it up!

@EpicThe112 11 месяцев назад

@natalieho655 hongkong is actually traditional Chinese just like Taiwan. Easy way to see this is a Hong Konger using traditional Chinese Hong Kong text and replying to a Taiwanese person

As a Chinese person who was born and raised in the states, I can say that I pronounce Chinese words both ways without thinking since I hear both pronunciations used. It's interesting to see there is an actual difference.

@crisgeeplease 3 года назад

This is excellent. When I was starting to learn mandarin, perhaps for the first 2 years, I was taught by Taiwanese amateur teachers, so i picked up the pronunciations from them. After that later on when I went to China to study, my accent was adjusted to Standard Mandarin (with a bit of Beijing accent). So now I sometimes weird mix of Southern and Northern Chinese! I will try my best to stick to one now!

@mikethomas1081 4 года назад

I stumbled across a Taiwanese movie a day ago and found myself really liking the way their accent sounds. I am an avid Kdrama watcher and also watched some shows from China but I stuck to Kdramas more because of the softer tone in the way they speak their language, so originally I was not going to watch the Taiwanese movie because I thought they had the harsher tone which I didn’t prefer. Now though, after watching the movie, I am very interested in watching more Taiwanese films. I love how they speak😩

@aoikemono6414 2 года назад

Chinese dialects are like playing scrabble. You shake the bag, pull out 7 letters, and there is your dialect. But there are only 26 different letters. Lots of similarities and differences shared, if not between one set of dialects, then between another. The N and L confusion is common in Cantonese as well. If you are studying Japanese, it's fun to try and figure out which dialect or part of China the loanword is based off of. Or whatever ancient version of Chinese used to exist that they followed.

As a Malaysian Chinese who studied simplified mandarin based on China I realized I basically spoke a mixed version between the two and I didn’t even realize that until now cos I never thought much about it,I think I might be more closer to Taiwanese mandarin,perhaps because Malaysia used to used bpmf or the fact our ancestor mostly from the south,or maybe because of the Taiwanese media we’ve been exposed to over the years.

@pandamic2863 Год назад

It's because colloquial Taiwanese Mandarin has been heavily influenced by the Hokkien/Fujian dialect of Minnan Chinese and many Chinese people in Singapore and Malaysia come from a Fujianese background as well.

Yes, so I was born in the United States, and I am a "heritage" language speaker... meaning I spoke broken Mandarin with English words, and I had to go to school to learn how to read and write characters. I did a study abroad year in Taiwan to learn Mandarin, where I also took a class on spoken Taiwanese. Our Taiwanese language teacher said she had a teacher from the Mainland that tried to teach all the Taiwanese Teaching-Chinese-As-A-Second-Language teachers "proper" Beijing-style Mandarin. The Mainland teacher tried to teach them all how to curl their tongue and pronounce their "h's," which is pretty much every other character, and my Taiwanese teacher said it was exhausting. I was also taught how to curl my tongue when I studied in Beijing, which I can still do, but after taking Mandarin in Taiwan for a year, I sort of gave up, and now I normally just speak Mandarin with a natural Taiwanese accent. I think we can talk faster without the h's. The Beijing accent also has lots of "r" sounds, like 一會兒 yīhuǐ'er ("a moment," equivalent to 一下 yīxià in Taiwan) or 往右拐儿 wǎng yòu guǎi'er ("turn right," equivalent to 往右轉 wǎng yòu zhuǎn). The "r's" sound very strange to the Taiwanese and southern Chinese, but when I rode around the subway in Beijing, ordinary Beijingers really do talk like that.

Hi Grace! Just found your channel and I love it! Could you do a video where you recommend any other RU-vid channels or TV shows that are entirely in Mandarin (like not language focused, just cool stuff). I think it would be really neat to see explanations like this.

One more word to add on the pronunciation difference between China and Taiwan. 崖 (cliff) in China is pronounced as yá (牙 as in teeth) and in Taiwan as ái (挨 as in to suffer)

@ghotifish1838 3 года назад

is there a difference pronunciation of "血"? My parents always pronounce it like “雪”, but the dictionary always pronounces in the fourth tone.

@cathtychu 3 года назад

There is, thanks for sharing this example! I can verify it as a Taiwanese. The dictionary you saw with the 4th tone likely reflects the Chinese pronunciation. The reason why there's the 血/雪 difference is due to the fact that Taiwanese people used to speak 70%+ Taiwanese Hokkien and their vernacular habits likely impacted their later acquisition of the "Official Beijing Mandarin" passed down by the Nationalist Party Regime/Authorities (aka 國民黨, referred to as KMT in English acronyms) at the time. The differences is kind of similar to English having American, British, Australian, Canadian, New Zealand.. etc. variations, with different word choices existing in between. However, the exception is that an English speaker would rarely superimpose their version (saying that they have more users/speakers, for example) over another, (since these nations are deemed "independent",) but the special, unrecognized yet interesting status of Taiwan puts us in the most awkward position... in all kinds of ways. I hope that more would realize these contexts and support Taiwan's linguistic uniqueness and independence as we also have other diverse First Nations (13-14 I believe?), while our dominant neighbor is doing what they're doing to "unify" and dominate...

@IR-xy3ij Год назад

血 is never pronounced xuě in either version of mandarin. It's xiě when it's by itself and always xuè when it's used in a word.

I noticed many Taiwanese people tend to simplify and connect words together. For example "zhidao" (that they make the "zh" become almost like a "z" sound), I've heard several people pronounce as "zao" in fast speech. ("ni zao ma?" instead of "ni zhidao ma?")

While talking about family, just take older brother （哥哥） as example in China, the pronunciation will be（ㄍㄜㄍㄜ·/gē gė) but in Taiwan, there are 2 more diffierent ways to pronunce: 1.while talking about my brother with others （ㄍㄜㄍㄜ/gē gē) 2.talking to one's brother （ㄍㄜˇ ㄍㄜˊ/gě gé)

@IgnacioIF 11 месяцев назад

From my personal experience living in the north of Taiwan the pronunciation seems much closer to that on 4:18 than anything else

@albertsong697 2 года назад

In fact, many of them are not the difference between China and Taiwan at all. . . It is the difference between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China. Many older mainlanders who were born during the Republic of China also read "和" as “han ”and "包括" as 包gua. Even former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji (born in 1928 during the Republic of China) pronounced "和" as "han".

As a native Mandarin speaker who grew up in Taiwan in the 1970s (been in the US since), I found your video extremely insightful. Also a big compliment to your excellent command of colloquial English. I’m curious how your default pronunciation of q, x, j sounds more like someone from China than Taiwan.

@philoy1402 2 года назад

but the fact is that in southeastern mandarin(西南官话the dialect commonly used in Sichuan Chongqing Yunnan etc.) we say "包括（bao gua/bao kua/bao kue）"too， and in traditional Beijing dialect(a little bit different from standard mandarin)，they also say "和（han)"，In China，if you go to every province，you can find different Mandarin accent(e.g. 京腔、东北话、椒盐普通话、塑普、南普、上海腔、台湾/闽南腔），and it's hard to differ Taiwanese Mandarin（台湾腔） from Hokkien(Fujian) Mandarin（闽南腔），cuz both of Minnan(Southern Fujian)people and Taiwan people use the same dialect(also known as 闽南语or台语).

@IR-xy3ij Год назад

Yeah the "Taiwanese accent" is just speaking mandarin with a hokkien accent, with a few differences in standard pronunciation

@IR-xy3ij Год назад

As for 和 being pronounced hàn, that's 100% from the Beijing accent where it's closer to "hen", where the vowel is a weak vowel without a tone. The only difference is that changing the weak vowel to the toned strong vowel makes it sound completely alien to mainlanders.

Hi Grace! How are you doing? I hope you are doing well. Recently I want to learn Chinese, but I really like the sound of Taiwanese much better. From this video seems like they are the same language, but with different accents, am I right? So... Is it more efficient and beneficial for me to learn a Chinese accent? Or I can learn the Taiwanese and it doesn't affect that much at the professional level when I want have a conversation with a person from a Chinese background in general? Thank you for your effort. Hope to see more, have a nice day )

@TheFiestyhick Год назад

They are both not that different. Either is ok. It's not big difference like a USA accent and British. The difference is more like people from same country with slightly different accent. The only time TW accent is very different and not recommended is if person is very uneducated or has a very sloppy pronunciation, for whatever reason. In general if person has decent education, they will be a good example for you to learn from.

I would like to add two differences to your list. One is fairly well known - there is little erhua (兒化) in Taiwan, do people say, for example, 一點 yìdiǎn rather than yìdiǎ(n)r. The other is only a theory of mine. I think Taiwanese may pronounce -ong with an open o vowel (close to the vowel in hot or a short version of the first vowel in awful, both in British English), whereas in Mainland China the same vowel often sounds more u-like. An example would be 東 'east'. I could be wrong; that's just what I'm hearing.

@ynntari2775 4 года назад

the ong becoming ung is an influence of yuè chinese, like cantonese, in shouthern China. The words that became "-ong" in mandarin became "-ung" in cantonese, so they tend to export that to mandarin when they speak mandarin. I've also heard that appearently coming from outside yuè-speaking places, so maybe this tendency have spread northwide.

@JoaoVitor-it1oq 4 года назад

Would you include 谁 (shéi/shuí) as a difference too? And I just remembered that "东西" in the first tone only means "east and west", so basically we have to guess the meaning via context 😃
