Basics of Chinese Writing (Hanzi) Part 1/3

[@rai0ony]

I really like the Chinese writing, but I'm having trouble understanding the logic behind it.

[@princessnitishasahu2252]

Wow! This was so so useful. Thank you so much. This should've been my first Chinese lesson sadly but it wasn't.

[@mikecherri]

I think you have to be an artist to write in Chinese!!

[@ETsonggalaxy]

I like learn chinese language Thank you.

[@tarihabellows3633]

lol i came here to learn hanzi because my teacher is teaching us through romanizations and, after learning through korean it's way easier to learn after learning the language's alphabet, i decided to learn the characters, so i will pronounce the words better.

[@antqmagicofcoupons8499]

the best i had seen. thanks for sharing.

[@bonbonpony]

How about the 齒 character? The two strokes at right-top are being stroke first, then the shorter stroke on the top-left :P So it's going right-to-left instead of left-to-right :/ Why is that?

[@wafadamlaj6359]

excellent I love it .It is wonderful thanks

[@zeiahcataleyasarsalejo4588]

I really like the way you said "top to bottom"😊

what is difference between ni hao ma and ni shenti zenmeyang please tell????

[@jeshgamer8717]

Wasnt the héng shu she drawn looked like a cross?

[@chinichinin7219]

wonderful ! thanks ! :)

[@mahiyaabdulla7827]

It's really nice But I didn't understand how can a hèng+pei+na, when joined together sound dà?

[@mattygaga2013]

+mahiya abdulla they are the names of the strokes. like korean ㄹ it's name is a 리윽 (rieuk) but it's true pronounciation is r/l like 아들 is son (adeul). The da sound is when you combine h+p+na is hpda (dda for romanization).

[@mahiyaabdulla7827]

Thanks for explaining

[@mildax2155]

The stroke's names doesn't show the hanzi's pronunciation. It's like when you write an M, where you draw "sharp tip + sharp tip"... it doesn't gives you the clue to say "em"...

[@ja8591]

mahiya abdulla I think you can consider Korean as an alphabetic language. The Korean characters are not exactly like Chinese characters. You can tell what a Korean character sounds like by looking at its writing. For example, ㄱ=k，ㅣ=i，ㅁ=m，therefore 김=kim. And 김정은=Kim Jung Un. (Ps. the ㅇ on top of Korean characters are silent) But Chinese characters are not phonograms, they are logograms, which means their pronunciations are not associated with writing. Modern Chinese people developed a phonetic system named "pinyin" to help pronounce characters, made of Latin letters. There are 4 tones for mandarin; for sound "a", there are ā, á, ǎ and à. For one sound there could be many different characters. "tā" can represent 他她它...，"lā" can represent 拉啦垃邋 and etc. Traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese only partially differ in writing(飛鳥=飞鸟; 臺北=台北; 岳陽樓=岳阳楼,etc) Chinese has tons of dialects, not only Mandarin and Cantonese(has over 6 tones). They are just the most commonly used ones.

[@ja8591]

mahiya abdulla pie, na and heng are not sounds.

[@tomkemp1237]

Nice video but I've got a question. Do I have to follow the order that you gave to write the stroke or I can start it as I want?

[@sixpetrov]

came here just out of curiosity. But man, this is super complex, tnx God I don't have to learn it :)
