helloooo, everyone! 💛 I hope you enjoy today's video! Also, feel free to tell me some topics that you want me to talk about! Many of my videos are inspired by your comments! Thank you

[@reyskywalker7495]

Thanks you, hope u will get more subs.

[@teakookie493]

Hi Grace!! Can u do a video where it can help us improve our expression in chinese? :) 我同常会发现我的句子不通顺，而且老师每次说我需要加强表达能力！

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Tea Sugakookie I have a playlist of Chinese expressions. You can take a look at it, Maybe the videos would be helpful for you! ;)

[@LePetitVingtieme1]

我知道这个建议非常特定，但是我很想看一些关于网络俚语。除了这个话题以外，我还很想多听一点关于其他文化的方面，比如最有名的书、电影、电视剧、故事、等等

[@Mika-oi1se]

I was wondering what is the title of the tv show\ movie when you introduce 哎呦/哎呀 where the guy is asking her to sing again? It looks interesting. 谢谢你

[@ziqueez]

i really like how you add clips from movies, it makes it much more entertaining and palatable

[@0wnagefactory]

All the examples from movies are super helpful, good job.

[@artugert]

It's interesting that every one of them has an equivalent in English with a very similar sound and meaning.

[@mosiarmstrong]

I thought that was pretty interesting as well!

[@McClane4Ever.]

@@mosiarmstrong As did I.

[@machtelinckkevin254]

Just gonna add that this is also very similar to French , Also from what little i know , Dutch and Russian . It's possible that interjection for some reasons are quite universal

[@Bladavia]

Yep, can confirm it's almost the same in French. We don't think of our western languages as tonal but we definitely use tone to convey information too ! Face expressions and body language are very similar across all humans as well.

[@johncristophersicsic5592]

哇 I've been looking for these types of Interjection because I find it very helpful and fun when using it! Thankyouusomuch😁😻

[@moisterse1272]

She : we'll learn 15 expressions like "wow" Me with just the "好” 😂

[@binarysplit3178]

Thank you so much for this video! Textbooks never seem to cover this sort of stuff, but it's so vital in daily life. These are going straight into my Anki deck.

[@KiraiEEE_Old]

thanks a lot 😭❤, we don't learn these things at school 😅, and 加油💪

[@denzelnolet]

Awesome, good vid. But what would be really helpful for a non-native speaker like me would be either a slide at the end or a pdf doc summarizing the lesson.

[@user-ds7up1fi2y]

你为什么不用手写词汇

[@christopherb.2986]

Woooooow so helpful！ 謝謝老師！

[@lucasmatias.coaching]

Fantastic! These kind of interjections make all talks more natural, even though you don't have a high ability on the language. I'm looking forward for your next videos. 谢谢你。

[@Anya18]

你拍的视频太酷了，也很有用的。谢谢你啊 🌺

[@MorbyPenguin]

This is absolutely your best video to date. Easy to understand and so useful in daily life! Thank you so much and keep up the great work!

[@timvu5079]

[@mattkaru]

Thank you soooo much, even though my Chinese isn't very good yet adding interjections like this helps me to feel more confident and seeing how they're used (for the ones I haven't recognized in daily life yet) is great too.

[@halynap.3513]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@cipher4811]

One of the most informative videos you have ever made according to me

[@MeanBeanComedy]

Where do you get all these quality clips from TV and movies?? I can't find enough quality Chinese TV on my streaming platforms! 😭😭😭

[@MattiBowler94]

Hi Grace, I love your videos, they are really helpful when learning. I'd love to know where I can watch some of these shows that have both mandarin and english subtitles at the bottom? The double subtitles are amazing for learning!

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Matthew Bowler Hi! You can try searching the Chinese movie or show you want to watch and then type “中英雙語字幕(中英双语字幕)” or “雙語字幕(双语字幕)” with it to see whether there are some results! :)

[@kokolexx]

This is what I've been looking for lately😂

It was very very helpful. Thanks for making such video. Although I have learned them all when I was in Nanjing. hhhh

[@nlocniLmaharbA]

我谢谢你啊🙏

[@wenhuber]

Thanks grace for your videos:-))

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

No problem! ;)

[@sadbub6094]

i didn't realise how many times i use 嗯 till my friends pointed out i use it instead of just saying yes. the same with 哎呦 when i almost fall or drop stuff (this happens quite often because im VERY clumsy)

[@baeli3852]

Fun fact in Mexico as well ,we use a word very similar like 喂 ，but we write and say "wey" . And this is use to call or name to someone , specifically to a friend lol.

[@gabedawg]

These are just sounds that anyone in any language can make. Most of these occur in every language. These sounds existed since the dawn of language, as they’re just basic forms of communication and not entirely Chinese at all. Some of these are quite Chinese-esque but to devote an entire video to such common human noises is interesting.

[@LePetitVingtieme1]

我刚才就是给你关注了！这个视频非常有用，谢谢给网友们解释一下中文interjections怎么用。看起来你用过很多不同电影和电视剧的视频，我想知道这些电影和电视剧叫什么？在哪里能找得到？如果你有其他中文电影和电视剧的推荐，那我很感谢

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

LePetitVingtieme1 裡面用了很多部電影的片段，你比較想知道哪一部呢？我有一部影片中有介紹一些電視節目，在這：kzbin.info/www/bejne/en6qgGx5j6plrNU 說不定對你有幫助！（里面用了很多部电影的片段，你比较想知道哪一部呢？我有一部视频中有介绍一些电视节目，在这：kzbin.info/www/bejne/en6qgGx5j6plrNU 说不定对你有帮助！）

you are the best Chinese teacher on youtube~

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Thank you for your kind words! :D

[@mosiarmstrong]

Hi Grace, can these be used via text message too or only in spoken conversation? 太谢谢了！

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

issa ssi 很高興你喜歡！（很高兴你喜欢！）The series ”Friends” in Mandarin is 六人行. You can search this name and maybe you will find one with Mandarin sub:) The movie with students is 我的少女時代 😊

[@yssam.6749]

I was NOT expecting to see The Big Bang Theory as an example!🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the wonderful insight and info!

[@yifanyang4903]

Lmao when I saw Sheldon saying 哎呀.🤣

[@xuxipan7181]

It's amusing that in English those intersections are so easy to spell but very complicated looking in Chinese characters 😂

[@martinphipps2]

True story. Back in 2005 I wanted to watch Star Wars Episode 3 in Taichung. Me: "I want to see Star Wars Episode 3" Girl: "Ha?" Me: (Pointing at poster) "I want to see that movie. Star Wars Episode 3" Girl: "Ha?" Me: "Fine." (Reading poster) "星際大戰3部" Girl: "Oh!"
