When Chinese translate foreign words into Chinese, they pay more attention to the meaning than pronunciation. They make sure everything makes sense in Chinese words too. That's why many words sound so different from Korean&Japanese.

TBH I like the Chinese method more. It keeps the language instead of changing it to English.

Korean and Japanese often times directly translate foreign words into their own alphabetical systems and use their own alphabets to simulate the pronunciation. Chinese sometimes translates a foreign word according to the meaning of the word and use Chinese characters and and their combinations to express the meaning. Like computer in Korean: 검퓨터 (sounds like komputo); in Japanese: コンピュータ (sounds like konpuuta); in Chinese: 电脑/(电子)计算机, meaning electronic brain/ (electronic) computionary machine Actually, for computer, I can also find an older-style translation which is equivalent to Chinese 전자 계산기 ((electronic) computionary machine). But Koreans are more and more inclined to directly import foreign words from English and other languages instead of Chinese/Japanese translations. A similar case is microwave. In 2008, no one (at least the people I met) knew the direct translation 마이그로웨이부, but only 건자 레인지 (electronic range). But I can find the former word in Naver dictionary now. I am not sure whether I am wrong.

I like how Chinese actually tries to make up their own words instead of borrowing them almost directly from English. Some languages do that, they either make up words from two or tree others, or they use old and no longer used words. More languages should do that.

[@liamliu9745]

Maybe this can explain why the Chinese are so creative

[@mrgrumpycat9049]

but why more languages should do that?

[@ronweasley9819]

​@@mrgrumpycat9049Languages are not just words, sounds and grammatical rules. The more I learn about languages, the more I want to learn more of them. English is my third language, with Ukrainian being the first one, and Russian being the second one. You just need to ask any polyglot, linguist or philologist why they like to learn languages. Languages carry history and culture. But not just history of a country, but history of people. Any word has a meaning. When a certain thing, idea, or concept has a few synonyms, people chose the one that would best express what they want to say. "Oh, he used this word with this intonation, this means that he means this and that." Languages help us express ourselves and connect to others. Sometimes I can express something a bit better in English than in Ukrainian. It's weird to admit, but it's true. Unfortunately, with English being such a huge force in the word (don't get me wrong, I LOVE English) a lot of languages borrow more and more words from it. Sometimes the words can get adapted into a certain phonetical system of that language which will make the word sound more natural, but sometimes the words are transliterated from the original language. With more and more such words being introduced into the languages quickly, they can shift and change in a lot of ways. Languages naturally change and adapt words from nearby languages, but what is happening now has never happened in the words before, because the world has changed drastically. Just 10 years ago the Internet was a luxury in Ukraine and now it is considered to be a necessity just like a roof over your head. It is normal, of course, but it's also kind of crazy if you think about it. Globalisation is changing our word very quickly in the ways we might not always see or predict, and can only notice in retrospect. I can clearly see what is happening to Ukrainian and notice from a side what's going on with Russian. More and more words are being replaced with English ones which have the same meaning. It's okay and natural to add words that describe things that were invented or discovered only recently, but when a word which existed for hundred of years is being replaced replaced with practically the same one but without as much contextual meaning and history behind it, I think is it very wrong. Having English as main world language is great and I think that every human should know their mother tongue and English. But why should English affect other languages? No other language in the word does what English is doing to other languages right now. At least, not at all in the same intensity. To lose your own language is to lose yourself. I don't want to live in the world where in 100-200 years Ukrainian will become so much like English that it will no longer be considered to be the East Slavic language but will become Germanic language. Adding to that, imagine a situation: USA creates hamburgers and Mexico likes it so much that everyone in Mexico begins to eat it. Later, Later, hamburgers become unpopular in States and so after 100 years no one eats them anymore and most don't even remembers they even existed. Mexico, on the other hand, begin to cherish this dish a lot and they create a bunch of different varieties of hamburgers. Now, why should Mexico call them hamburgers if they can call them something like ham-sandwiches in Spanish? Why should I call popcorn a ПОПКОРН (transliterated into Ukrainian, that's how we say it) if in Ukrainian we don't use the word POP (ПОП) to describe a sound of a tiny explosion and we don't use the word CORN (КОРН) for the corn plant? So to answer your question simply: more languages should make up words with the use of their own words, sounds and phonetical rules since this is exactly what all languages have been doing as long as they existed and this is exactly what you should be doing if you want the languages to grow and not die. Unfortunately, languages are not self-sufficient living beings. They need us to live.

There are very few loan words in the Chinese vocabulary. So when it comes to translating, it's usually literal translation rather than a phonetic translation. for example, the word Computer, which is an imported word. in Both South Korea and Japan it's a phonetic loan word. variation of the English pronunciation "computer" Whereas computer in Chinese literally translates to "electronic brain"

[@kennethk4688]

chinese do have tonnes of loan words. the so called translated vocabs are actually invented by Japanese and they should be considered Japanese kanji loan words

[@alanchen8272]

Japanese once translated using kanji too. But they prefer to use English words directly now. I guess the translation depends on the interaction with English-speaking world. Because Chinese use more English words and Japanese kanji words than before. Today, you can see CBD(English) and also 综合体（translated by meaning) using in mandarin. Same like 起司（cheese, verbal translation) and 奶酪（translated by meaning).

[@rorschachgotnicemask9449]

Many of the foreign words in Chinese are not transliterations but translated into Chinese words. Such as air conditioner, popcorn, club（俱乐部）, and concrete（混凝土）. The interesting part is, the last two in my examples were actually translated by Japanese scholars.

[@zyafc_ascc]

yeah because even single Chinese character has meaning, and after the industrial revolution, Japanese scholars take advantage of the Chinese characters to recreate some meaningful words, which is brilliant. Many important characters like “Democracy” or “Science” are translated by Japanese in Chinese characters - for example, democracy“民主”(民means normal people, 主means people manage and dominate, so the direct meaning of 民主 is that “normal people have the power to decide and manage”) so hahah that is the magic of similar culture. And i think it is unfortunate that Korean abandoned the Chinese characters entirely because of the nationalism, because mixing the korean characters and Chinese characters actually combines the advantages of both systems, just like what Japan does. And what’s even more interesting is that, when I went to Japan as a Chinese, I can recognize the names of the street and places , because they use partially Chinese Characters, and reading Japanese texts is also feasible since we can get the basic idea of what the text is trying to say just by reading the Chinese characters part- Hiragana.

Some Japanese elders also dislike too much use English loanwords written in Katakana in present days Japanese language media. But, yeah we can't ignore the evolution of language.

[@alextuan6328]

@ln e Yes, so when transliterations are the only option, Chinese always use characters. Some of the transliterations are so old that most Chinese people don’t they’re transliterations. Such as 歇斯底里，普罗大众，佛陀(hysteria, prolétariat, Buddha).

[@咘嘤咘嘤]

@ln e first Chinese have over 80000 characters but the 3500 are the essential part to memorize... The Korean and Japanese you could write Without knowing all the characters because you can put the alphabet together and just remember how you read the alfabhet and rules to read something but in Chinese no, you must memorize everything and one character can be read in many types of ways, and there so many characters with same pronunciation and tones but with very different signification. And let's not talk about writing

Both countries used ancient Chinese so root words sound similiar, like how some Spanish, French, Italian have similar words. Also there has been a wave of Korean immigrants to Japan from ancient times (well almost every time a korean kingdom is destroyed by another korean kingdom, the losing side to run away to Japan) causing a linguistic mixture. You can see in Japanese pronunciation the areas that were a hotspot tends to have more Japanese pronunciation as those of the Southern Korean provinces.

2:52: a minor error correction: cupcake 🧁 is more often called as “tian dian 甜点/dian xin 点心” instead of “bei dan gao 杯蛋糕”. actually it is never called as “bei dan gao 杯蛋糕”. and as for why Korean and Japanese languages adopt more English words, I believe there is a Western culture invasion trend going on in Asia. Chinese language is also adopting more Western words, like “sha fa 沙发 sofa”, “ka fei 咖啡 coffee”, another word appeared in the vid is “ma ka long 马卡龙 macaron” which happens to be French, etc. etc.

[@喵队长]

哪没有，杯蛋糕是有的，这种西式新的伯来物，在全国各地名称不同很正常，你没有听过不代表她讲的是错的；另外她自己补充了，这不是一种通用正式的叫法，但有很多这么称呼的，是没问题的。另外杯蛋糕是较为精确的叫法，甜点、点心都是它的笼统叫法。

[@SuperLol]

korean and japanese use more sound based spelling in their languages too, that's why their translation of western words also tend to sound as similar as they can to the corresponding words. Chineses doesn't have such system so either 1) it tries to sound similar like with people's names, in which case it'd usually sound still quite different compared to Japanese and Korean cuz of language itself (twisted tongues e.g. as explained in the video) 2) replaces the word completely with meanings behind it, especially with common words like popcorn 3) both sound and meaning, so that meaning helps "fill" the hole left by the difference in sound.
