[@melaniekay8791]

I’m not sure if it’s the same or not in Japanese, but in Korean grammar, verbs are always at the end of the sentence, so that’s why they always put more emphasis and drama on the last word of their sentences. Their pattern of inflection always confused me until I learned that 😂

[@SiKedek]

Yes, both Korean and Japanese are Subject-Object-Verb. In fact, syntax is the main reason why many people want to put Korean and Japanese in the same sprachbund ('linguistic area').

This short appeared on my feed. I just want to say that despite the comedy it's actually a really intelligent video! Not many ppl know or think about the intonations like that so it's very cool to see the comparison!! Thanks for sharing! Also just my preference but I think switching the cola and McDonald's skits will give that extra punch line to your video, simply due to the way that you delivered your lines. All the best!🎉

[@animalfinatic9366]

amen

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

I don't even understand them in my native language.

[@portobeIIa]

indeed, not to say that being able to change so fluidly between them requires a lot of knowledge of all three languages. entonation makes up a bigger portion of an accent than pronunciation does, and it's something no grammar book or course will teach you!

[@izabelazanin1124]

Korean intonation is SO different from my native language (portuguese) and english, that's why I love k-dramas, they're always dramatic even when they don't want to because of the intonation 😂

[@WONDERBOIY]

I have some friends from Korea, and when they're talking to like their mom on the phone, it's really interesting to hear them talking softly and then certain words they'll be talking loud for no reason.

Ok but this is something I’ve been thinking about!!!

[@humansomewhat2167]

The lyricism of spoken Japanese displays emotions so expressively. As someone who has a hard time reading people, I appreciate that quality. You can hear clearly in your English examples that the language's neutral tone is borderline sarcastic in nature if you think to apply that context to it, and even as a native English speaker, I feel this way often about the way many people speak in everyday life.

[@samwisegamgee1243]
