10 Hakka Phrases To Impress Your Hakka Mom

[@elesen]

Please keep making Hakka lessons! Make one every week :D I've been looking for lessons but yours is the one that sounds very close to what I'm familiar with.

[@UrbanChamp]

And me too! I feel very connected with my girlfriend and her family by learning this particular dialect of hakka, this is pretty much bang on! , and it's a great self achievement, Please make more videos🙏🏼

[@teckpohchoo7462]

Yes, I am a fuichiu hakka who can't speak it. This sounds like it! Thanks!!

[@sandydanielho3776]

Regards from the Hakka community in Colon (Republic of Panama). Congratulations, keep uploading Hakka videos. Makes me remind my Hakka heritage...

[@ellyellepellies7730]

Wow, I didn't know there is a hakka community in Panama.

[@chrissietsang]

I have hakka family in panama!

[@projek01]

This is awesome! My family is from northern Vietnam with deeper roots in Guangxi. They immigrated to Canada in the 80's and only taught me Cantonese. I see why my Cantonese has some "funny sounding" words now. Thank you for keeping the heritage alive.

[@inmimisbowl]

Wow interesting! Cantonese and hakka have some similarities indeed. I speak Cantonese as well and sometimes I can't help but mix them up xD

[@jennysiung1633]

Am Hakka-Trinidadian Irish. Ancestors lost their language through migration from Guangdong to Guiana/ Trinidad. Am studying Mandarin yet lovely to hear Hakka. Thank you 🙏🙏

Thank you so much for making and sharing your videos teaching Hakka. My parents were born in Guandung. I learned some Hakka from at home. Thank you so much for teaching it on line.

I really appreciate that at least some Hakka people still have the desire to preserve & perpetuate the Hakka dialect which, unfortunately, seems to be spoken less & less among the Hakka younger generation who tend to speak Mandarin and Cantonese. So, Mich, thank you very much for your efforts & time, which I enjoyed very much too, to get our Hakka people speaking our dialect more often. Please do keep this up yah!

[@samaval9920]

[@murraykong319]

my Hakka parents are from Guandong , Bow On , migrated to Caribbean island of Trinidad & Tobago. I was born & raised in T &T. It is such a pleasure to refresh my Hakka vocabulary which I learn when I was in my youth. I would not forget my hakka roots. Please continue to educate us since I have no one to speak to speak to.

[@peterchen952]

Wow! This is amazing that you came from Suriname and your hakka is amazing. Thank you so much because I’m learning it myself.

[@corinnetin3422]

Good job girl!! Keep it up. I will follow you. There's a small community of Hakkas in Mauritius from which I am.

[@AL-hr9tv]

Mich, you're such a sweetie pie, and a Hakkha one at that too! Im glad you mentioned the disclaimers becoz there are indeed so many variations all over the world (also influenced by other languages and prevalent dialects) that Im very sure I won't be able to understand an authentic Hakkha spoken by a descendants of original Hakkhas in any tulous in isolated regions in China! I myself speak a very mixed up sort so I try to learn whatever else I can get hold of....so thanks for even taking the trouble to share what you know....really appreciated!

[@168ericfan]

No kidding, Netherlands! Greating from Taiwan! Your Hakka is so authenticate. Keep it going! Liked so much you tried to preserve Hakka by pleasing your mom, so so sweet! Believe me I've 3 daughters they don't do this :)

I'm from french Guyana, there is a lot hakka here, I will try to learn with you, thank you

[@luislau2284]

Thanks for the videos and for sharing the Hakka dialect and everything else that come with it. I like the authenticity you present the hakka dialect and the linguistic, cultural habits and customs that comes with it. Chinese in general are very practical people in every way and actions are heavier than words for us. As you said it washing the dishes would be more appreciated by your parents, than telling them I love you. I am also an overseas chinese hakka descent, from Peru. As a child I grew up in Macao, China, where I learned to speak cantonese.

[@daisychanmidori9268]

My grandpa too from guang dong.but my accent when i speak hakka different accent and intonation.with your hakka.but i understand what are you said.proud to be hakka.because we not forgot who we are.

[@lawrencetseusedkong787]

Good show lady. My hakka roots as my relatives say came from the north west China. I was told that it wss the second stop before they moved to Jesselton North Borneo now Kota Konabalu, Sabah on 1910 through a missionary route. Most of this group are "sin onn" hakka. yep we speak hakka hete in Kuching, Sarawak but adulterated as we mixed with hopoh another sub hakka dialect.

[@zer0L0]

Just reading where all the comments are coming from is nothing short of astonishing. We are everywhere!

[@dcltjong2632]

Hi there. I very much enjoyed your hakka video's here. I myself am hakka, roots in Guangdung as well and.. Drumroll... and also live in the netherlands :) Want to compliment you for teaching the language. Not many peeps speak it anymore. Keep up the good work. Dunno if anybody already gave you tips abt the hugging hehee. We would say ' ngai ho mm ho jie lam ngie (leh) ?' Thats you asking if you can hug someone or 'ngie ho jie lam ngai mau? Thats asking for a hug

Hi Mimi, Your hakka is the same hakka as my family. Do you know the history of why hakka from Guangdong migrated to Suriname? My parents migrated there and my siblings were all born there. After some research it looks like there is a big hakka population in Suriname. Trying to learn more about our roots.

[@weili1351]

'Ngai oue eann (you; also pronounced as the word fish in Hakka depending on how you use the word) nam (hug) ngai yi ha' which translates to 'I want you to hug me for a little bit'. This is how we would say in Moiyan Hakka. Seif-foon dou chai (thank you very much)

[@melissalai2890]

Yes yes. I am Chinese Jamaican. Where most of us speak Hakka.

[@devchen4608]

me too! 😄

[@clivechin5219]

Really like what you are doing, encouraging others to do the same. I must say the Suriname Hakka accent is very very much like that spoken in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. I understand this accent is originally from BaoAn (now Shenzhen) area south of HuiZhou (another large Hakka City) in the GuangDong province.

[@spongebobby188]

Can someone tell me what the hakka saying 'eat sticky rice' (sit lor mei) means? It's used when telling someone off...but I never understood it's meaning.

[@terencechong7803]

Your Hakka is exactly the same type as mine! I’m 3rd generation Malaysian Hakka but living in Sydney. So where exactly are we from? Is there a specific village/province we hail from? Lol this is so interesting!

[@rachiiesaysrawr]

Nice to see another Malaysian-Chinese Hakka speaker in Sydney! Our Hakka is definitely not the Moiyan dialect so it would be safe to assume that Cantonese would be all of our mother tongue versus Chinese. I understood majority of what she says but my family uses different words eg: tsaw tson for my family would be tsaw tsan instead. Hakka tends to evolve based on the family speaking it and their fluency too! From what I know, my roots are from Huizhou (Guangdong not Anhui) so chances are that many Malaysian-Chinese could hail from there as our intonation and vocab is more similar!

[@clivechin5219]

@@rachiiesaysrawr - Huizhou or BaoAn (Now known as Shenzhen) hakka dialects are most similar to that spoken in Malaysia, I would say for Sabah its closest to Shenzhen version, For west malaysia its probably closest to Huizhou hakka. Not Moisan (Meizhou) definitely - this accent has a 'singing' type intonation. btw - i am originally from Sabah, met many west malaysian hakka, working in Shenzhen (now) since 2010.

[@mishonokg2281]

I loved this video, it reminds me of my own “Hakka”, but not Chinese… it is “Bislama” (which I speak fluently) from Islands of Vanuatu. I usually need to fly "back home” to adoptive family to speak it, but the language is as colorful as “Hakka” seems to be. I look forward to all your videos on Hakka… to impress whom I hope will become my girlfriend - lol Either way, nothing wrong with a Guei-Lo who can speak some Hakka, right ?

[@ILUVBAKKUA]

Your hakka and my hakka sounds like the same here in Singapore we assume it is dabu hakka (of course there's other types of singsong sounding hakka spoken here too) I say we "assume" because when i went to visit my ancestral village to meet my extended relatives at dabu in meixian china what they spoke there is something on a faster pace and I couldn't catch most of it I felt they had to slow it down some so that we could understand.

[@squodge]

'tsoh' is "to make", the 'hoy' is the perfect suffix showing completed action. The imperfect suffix is 'gin'... so 'ngai tsoh gin' is 'I am making' because it's an incomplete action.

[@alexyap9734]

“Hoi” is like “already”.

[@ciacia9998]

Have changed some, interesting. In Canton is: Ama, nji sei gai chin shi he njong ban ge?

I used to communicate Hakka with both my parents. Since they passed away many years I have not been using Hakka for a long time. My children were grown up now, they never spoken Hakka since their grandparents were around. Even when I meet a stranger who is Hakka, I now find it difficult to speak . Hahaha !!

you are correct... asking for hug is not part of everyday hakka culture.

[@inmimisbowl]

大美人 hiii, if you’re referring to ‘I’, then I’d say the pronunciation is ‘ngai’. The ng sound is like in ‘doing’. Hope that makes sense :)

[@kenningst]

lam ngee {hug you}

[@LeeSuening]

Is hakka closely related or sounds similar to Mandarin? I'm trying to understand the origin of my grandfather.

[@inmimisbowl]

I think some words can sound similar, and others don’t. I actually have made a video about learning both languages and comparing them with each other. It’s my most recent video :)

[@squodge]

All the Chinese languages are closely related to each other, but ultimately they are descended from proto-Ancient Chinese. Linguistically speaking, Mandarin has evolved a lot because words must end in a vowel or nasal. Hakka words can end in a vowel, nasal or unvoiced plosive (p, t, k). Mandarin has 4 tones; Hakka has 6 (it did have 8 until the 20th century). The old analects when read in Mandarin do not rhyme; but when read in Hakka, a lot of phrases rhyme perfectly.

[@travelingstuff]

Hoi is like present perfect tense or past tense. I make hoi breakfast == I have made breakfast

[@jason.7877]

hoy would be a like past tense measure word. similar to 了 in chinese 妈我做了早餐哦.

[@clivechin5219]

Hoy - is a making a verb past tense so so Tsoh Hoy is 'made' or past tense of make. In mandarin is 'le', zuo le.
