aespa vs. the chinese language

[@farichatulchusna5182]

Just imagine how fierce it will be if Ningning and Chenle teach all aespa and NCT members mandarin🤣🤣.

[@boorave]

I'd pay to see that and Chenle and Ningning will mostly bicker than teach 😂

[@snowminL485]

And they're gonna give up faster cuz of Chenle's obsession w perfect pronunciation 😂😂

[@JisungSingsYouAndI]

NingNing's voice became 2 octaves higher in Chinese 😆

[@MixSonaProductions]

Yea people might have pitch change when they switch languages

[@anjali9327]

The funny part is that ning ning could say practically anything and the members would immediately repeat after her....

[@penelopewindsor9418]

many a foreign idol knows this and use this intentionally to mess with their members x"D

[@Zarzar22]

As a non speaker its insane to me how minute the details are of chinese and how easily chinese people can tell those small tonal differences mean entirely different concepts. Equally as funny when they cant comprehend that we dont hear the differences and get all shocked about us botching the words lol

[@jasons4045]

Uhm...not just the tones, but the words are also different.

[@mifenguilin305]

不说汉语的人会搞混汉语中的不同音调，这种体验是我未曾经历过的。所以我也很好奇你们的感受😊

@@jasons4045 I belive they aren’t talking about the characters they r talking about the pinyins

[@shantakidd6230]

In Mandarin Chinese. The tone you use to say a particular word will literally change the meaning. Different tones can often mean it's a totally different word. my husband is Chinese and I'm learning slowly. Hao ma is something that can be used to ask "is that ok?" but if you emphazise the ma (haoMa) it can mean phone number. That might not be entirely accurate but that's just what I've found in my learning journey

[@DarkMage501]

English has tones too, they change the semantic meaning of words rather than the definition.

[@sk8ergalx]

For those who don’t know mandarin, si means death. So Giselle saying e-si-le means “I’m hungry to death!” which is actually a correct expression, just way too informal for idols to say on broadcast haha

[@IZZYrancidgrl]

it also can be interpreted as "i'm starving"

[@maki2393]

giselle also kind of misheard it as e-le-si

[@meepmeepmeepppp]

i think it was more about the order of what what she said- she said “si” after “le”, which just doesnt really make sense lol

[@suyejia]

@@meepmeepmeepppp i'm hungry! death.

[@ghost_rider0801]

For some reason I heard either "ten" "four" or "death" and had to replay it several times. This is what happens when you have a complicated tonal language (not to mention one of the hardest languages) as a second language

[@peppapigwantstoknowyourloc5830]

"yong gan gou gou bu pa kun nan" is actually the modification of a line from the chinese-dubbed version of paw patrol! in the original english version, it corresponds to "no job is too big, no pup is too small".

[@PeterLiuIsBeast]

Koreans just can't fathom how big China is. AFAIK Coconut chicken is a southern Chinese dish (most famously from Hainan). Ningning herself is from the Northeast province of Heilongjiang. The style of cooking is pretty much as different as Italian and French.

[@ghost_rider0801]

Haha, writing in Chinese is an entirely different beast altogether. My family uses traditional Chinese (each character typically has anywhere between 1 to 16 strokes if not more) so imagine learning how to write more than 5-10k different characters MINIMUM.

I am from a Cantonese family and Chinese in general just never learned until 3-4 years ago always naturally understood Cantonese.
