I started learning Chinese from a while and you were one of the reasons why I'm learning it. You really show the language and the culture in a simple and unique way, it makes me want to know more about it. One of my dreams is being a polyglot like you and know many languages I already know Arabic and English and German and I'm learning Chinese now there are also other languages i will learn soon like Italian, Persian, Turkish and French. So thank you zoe a lot for motivating me to learn languages and thank for your beautiful videos ❤

中国語を学ぶのは、凄く楽しいです。日本語はアニメや漫画、コスプレなど世界的に有名で人気があり勉強するきっかけにもなりますが、中国語も同じです。私は西遊記、三国志、現代アニメのキングダムを通じて中国に興味があり勉強を始めました。普通語とされる北京語を集中的に勉強していますが、日本人の私は四声の発音が下手なので当初は苦労しましたが、ある程度勉強すると少し自信がついて北京へ旅行に行きました。中国は広いです。色々な方言を聞き取れず苦労しましたが、メモとペンが有れば通じることが出来ます。通じる楽しさはネイティブでなくても充分に得られました。親切な人ばかりに巡り会えたおかげで、益々興味が湧き、今度は昆明に旅行したいと思ってます。

Hey, Zoe. One hundred percent agree on the beauty and complexity of the Mandarin Chinese language. My girlfriend’s name means something like “heavy snowfall” because she was born in the dead of winter. I thought that was such a wonderful naming practice because where my family comes from-Mexico-we’re lucky if we’re named after saints, lol. Our names, like many Western names, don’t have an inherent meaning to them like Chinese names do. Also, I agree about Chinese grammar-it’s simpler than English and much simpler than Spanish where one has to conjugate literally every verb if you want to say something, haha. Love the channel and content. Keep up the great work, chica!

You may know that latin caracters came from semitic cradle, and each caracter represents a word, like the graphem R is still the head profile, and express Order, command, so the word Resh hebrew or Ras arabic. The M is still represents Water, the M used in grammar and morphology to indicate a place or a moment. Investigating in languages origin, I notice some link between semitic with sino-tibetan language. The indo-european languages have their cradle in semitic one, and some of sino-tibetan in north europe.

Nice example you offered : Dao (tao) the phone D in semitic language indicates direction, like Din, or Huda, and in aramaic, it indicates an owner, genitive case. Then in latin too. The meaning of D is mainly about extension, so the latin root Additio (addition) from semitic عدّ or مدد simply, in hebrew and arabic.

@alicemargaret8092
@alicemargaret8092 9 ай бұрын
Kanji (the Japanese one) is derived from Hanzi, people there crossed the see to China to transplant it into their own language based on the local oral speech, and Japanese people created their own some new characters by time. That’s why there are two ways to read for kanji, one sounds similar to the original Chinese, and one is the oral speech people use first to represent the same meaning. However, the Kanji would be quite different from the one you see in China. That’s because Chinese government simplified it to eliminate the illiteracy when the country was really poor(and it worked well), and now you can find traditional Chinese mainly in the area of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, simplified in Chinese mainland, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. Btw, people who speak Chinese can read both version easily. I hope this helps😊( I am native Chinese and learning Japanese

@shanhaichinese1528 10 ай бұрын
非洲 is the abbreviation for 阿非利加洲 which is a phonetic transliteration and 非 here is for the syllable “fi” in the word Africa. 飞 is rarely used in country names, because it means unstable in some contexts. Although basically 非 means not or non-, it is not derogatory per se, and to a native Chinese speaker, it is even philosophical. Like 庄子Zhuang Zi's famous saying, "子非鱼,安知鱼之乐" which means "You are not a fish, how can you know the happiness of fish?".

你的这个句子有些问题,正确的描述应该是这样“我在两年前开始学习汉语,现在我会说汉语。希望我有一天能去中国。”

Good video! Watched this three times already! Where can I find beginner friendly chengyu learning materials? I am currently studying Mandarin but I am just a beginner at HSK 2. I will definitely subscribe to learn more, thanks for the amazing video!

As a native speaker.(母语是中文) I think those knowledge are simple to me. But If it's for People from other countries Except chinese. I think That it is a little confused.

I knew all these, as they are all very basic. By the title, I got the impression there might be more obscure facts, but I guess not.

Very interesting lesson! In the opportunity, I wish that Jesus, the Name above all names (Phillipians 2), bless you, and may you feed from His Word and Salvation! 非常有趣的課!在這個機會中,我希望耶穌,這個高於一切名字的名字(腓立比書2),祝福你,願你從他的話語和救恩中餵養!
