Korean VS Cantonese Word Comparison

Minjung and I got bored one day and this is what we made :D

[@Eu4eya]

I'm canto & I've noticed as well that many words in korean sound very similar to canto while watching kdramas & listening to kpop 😂

[@oceanlile]

yes hehe~ it is an advantage to be able to pick up certain words especially when you are traveling to the country!

[@nyanko7055]

Yeah same

[@JayCee2020]

Korean definitely sounds more like cantonese than mandarin!

[@SlimJinGyms]

Chinese and Korean are similar because 65% of Korean words are Sino-Korean (originated from the Chinese language), while 30% are native Korean words, and the remaining 5% coming from English loanwords. Both the Korean and Cantonese words for "bus" and "taxi" are English loanwords.

[@이재혁-o2l]

65% That's what happened, including the Chinese words that the Japanese Empire made. In fact, the Chinese language used by Koreans is less than that.

[@jepark4775]

That’s wrong information. Only 35% of Sino-Korean is used in daily life among 57% of Sino Korean words.

[@massalleh5255]

@@jepark4775 Not really. I mean the words is still there despite it's not being used daily

[@TeacherFlash]

I had a girlfriend from Korea she always wanted to kind of separate or distance herself from China and always said it is completely different, has no similarities. Now I see she was lying to me.

[@bryansoothe]

The Korean girl has southern accent (kyungsang-do) lol. Well, but my point is that there are lot of similarities between korean and cantonese in pronunciation only, because lots of Korean words are based on old Chinese (cantonese), and the words came to Korea very long time ago (before and around up to Tang dynasty). However, the grammar is totally different; entirely opposite. :)

[@헤드헌터-m5k]

In Korean, 'Country' is two words. Nara and Guk Nara is main Korean Guk is Chinese characters' pronunciation

[@janeyaa]

saying "gok" is how those of us who speak taishanese pronounce it!

[@BambangPriantono]

One thing, Korean is much influenced by Chinese

[@RealRina90]

many asian countries are influenced by china actually... (im not talking about the writing though in that case it would be only korea and japan) but other then the writing of chinese, some southeast asian countries are influenced by china a lot also the language actually (when it comes to the southeast asia countries who also have a tonal language).

[@TheXanian]

By medieval Chinese from the Tang and Song dynasties, not by Mandarin

[@Alex-bb1xn]

HalfThaiKorean1990 Vietnam also previously used Chinese characters before they developed their own script.

[@kevincheung2803]

Actually many Cantonese speakers pronounce 國 gwok to 角gok. Cantonese is so difficult 😣

[@junainoakuma]

Yup. Sino-Korean words influenced by China. It's like English having many word that can trace its root to Romance Language.

[@mreldude]

Or like English having tons of loan words from French due to Norman Conquest

[@christinamaine]

exercise (wan dung/undong), time (si gaan/sigag), and some numbers also sound the same too!

[@oceanlile]

yeah so many similarities ^^ thats why I had a bit of an easier time to learn Korean or at least understand it better than another foreigners

[@MyawMyaw01]

Christina ohhh.. just like in japanese: exercise is UNDO while time is JIKAN. These words must have been derived from middle chinese

[@alancwwong]

"country" in cantonese is 'gwok' not 'gok'

[@oceanlile]

thanks for making the correction! like I mentioned in the intro, my canto sucks haha XD

[@williamxu2599]

I'm canto, I say 'gok' too

[@alancwwong]

I am HKer, I say "gwok". Don't learn the lazy pronunciations.Learn the right one first.

[@jodykw1982]

Yeah... a lot of hk'er have "lazy" accents.

[@TheXanian]

Does 'gok' means "corner" in Cantonese? I remember I heard it somewhere.

[@ochiaichannel1189]

I'm Japanese and learning Cantonese & Korean. And this video really helpful! Thank you!😁✌

[@mreldude]

I've noticed that Korean loan words from Chinese are pronounced much more similarly to Cantonese than Mandarin. Can anyone explain why that is?

[@Alex-bb1xn]

mreldude this is because Korean pronunciation of Chinese loan words is based on Middle Chinese, and Cantonese more closely resembles Middle Chinese than Mandarin, possibly because it hasn’t changed as much over the years. This is also the reason why many Tang poems flow better when read in Cantonese than in Mandarin.

[@spike378]

Thats because the Tong Dynasty was the golden age for China where it spreads its influences all over the globe. Many of the neighboring countries came and brought back many things back home including language. Mandarin is a mix of Chinese and Mogols. It is a very northern language

[@lineage13]

Taishanese kinda like cantonese is very close to MIddle Chinese. The Korean & Japanese language is derived from MIddle Chinese.

[@oceanlile]

Thanks for sharing! It's cool to see how languages develop and still have similarities :)

[@ewenlee8855]

lol korean and japanese aren't derived from middle chinese. they simply imported thousands of chinese words throughout history, hence the many cognates between languages.

[@christofat2704]

Not derived , but has borrowed at lot of words from Middle Chinese!

[@calisun9169]

Omg I speak Taishanese

[@trien30]

Pi hen gee in Korean = 飛行機 in Hanja，where "pi gee" = Vietnamese phi cơ = 飛機 in Chinese. Due to not having the "f" as in Frank sound in ancient Korean, they borrowed "P‘i/phi" from ancient Hokkien/Minnanyu/ Fujianese.

[@krystalyim3499]

U should've done "time" they r so alike

[@새-l7m]

'cat' in Korean: oh yiang-i (x) go yang-i (o)

[@RomanesEuntDomus.]

고양이 (go yang i) is cat in Korean, but also 묘 (myo), which sounds similar to Mandarin and Cantonese 貓 (mao1/maau1)。I think the Korean woman made a mistake here. Also for dog, it's 개 (gae) but that's a native Korean word and it's not related to 狗 (gou3/gau2). The sino-korean word is 견 (gyeon) which sounds similar to 犬 (quan3/hyun2)

[@RealRina90]

well a lot of Thai / Vietnamese are often similar to chinese too by word and also by tonals actually even more then korean(which isnt a tonal language as you know i guess). im half thai-korean and have chinese friends so we noticed quite a lot of similaritys

[@darkestdragon]

HalfThaiKorean1990 Vietnamese word for 'traditional' in canto is practically the same ! : p

HalfThaiKorean1990 Vietnamese is not similar to Cantonese and you comment mine triggered a lot of Vietnamese if they read this

[@darkestdragon]

Thiện Chí Nguyễn Facts are facts, SOME words are similar not saying all, some words are borrowed from Chinese words. Plus, the writing system before the French was pretty much Chinese. However I do love the original Vietnamese writing system also, which is a modification of the Chinese writing system. Do your history research if you don't know what I am talking about. I don't care if I upset people that is the truth.

darkestdragon the Chinese was invaded Vietnam for 1000 years so the Vietnamese had some of their influence. The Chinese was tried to teach their language to us, built their house and structures in our land, rape our woman, killed all the people even a pregnant woman just for fun,made us worked for them, stilled our resources and clams Vietnam is a part of Chinese. That is why Vietnamese have some Chinese influence. Also 6 tone is not from Chinese, it's already existed for 2200 years ago

[@darkestdragon]

Everyone knows this history, Whats your point? the means of how imperial china claimed vietnam is barbaric and inhuman of course. The point I was making is that there are similarities in the language. Thats all. Tonal languages is also not unique to vietnam or even chinese languages. Vietnam wasnt forced to use the chinese writing system as you claim, it was just what was available at the time thats why it was adopted. Same with korea and also japan.

[@serbaserbi6004]

KOREAN JAPPIEN N VIETNAMESE IS INFLUENCE BY CHINESE (COSTUME, TRADITION N LANGUAGE)

[@blobba5442]

'This' in cantonese and korean sound pretty much identical.

[@dirtywashedupsparkle]

Good start to make this comparison. I think a couple of the words are similar because they commonly derive from English or another, third language, ie 'taxi' becomes their equivalent Korean and Cantonese words because they take it from 'taxi'. But there are some words that are curious. Others are 'newspaper', 'this one' and 'that one'. Would love to compile a bigger list, thanks for the start!

[@autumnwind999]

Thanks. I noticed the same thing too , that korean has words that are more similar to canto than mandarin. Another examples are the words 'this' and 'that'.

[@SuccessforLifester]

Yes I did recognise some words in Korean drama sounded like Chinese One example , " faster " - sounds like Five Dee both in Korean and Cantonese. Another example is Thousand - same in Korean and Cantonese. Then there is this Heart Seng in Korean - meaning student, if I am not wrong, in teochew it is also heart seng. I think policeman in Korean reminded of something in Chinese dialect too.

[@trien30]

Thắng Chan NOT too similar to Cantonese only partially, not totally.

[@thangchan7395]

Lee Kwok yes, but it's alike than madarin so much

[@trien30]

Thắng Chan No, because Vietnamese borrowed mostly from Minnanyu/Fujianese/Hokkien and Cantonese plus Chaozhouhua & Hakka. it depends on when & how words were borrowed. Vietnamese never borrowed from Mandarin, like động vật is Cantonese plus Hakka for "animal" in Vietnamese from 動物 in Chinese. hiện đại is from Minnanhua/Hokkien/Fujianese via Chinese 現代 meaning "modern"，which DOES NOT sound anything like in Cantonese which when romanized is "yin doi"/"yin doy". Does hiện đại (Vietnamese for 'modern') & "yin doi"/"yin doy" (Cantonese for 'modern') sound alike? No, not even close because it wasn't borrowed from Cantonese but rather from Fujianese/Hokkien/Minnanyu! You can't even say the đại part was derived from Mandarin because at the time it was borrowed, Mandarin didn't even exist.

[@thangchan7395]

Lee Kwok Where are you from dude

[@trien30]

Thắng Chan actually ph in Vietnamese pronounced as f sound should only be used for French words. Most Vietnamese & Chinese loanwords should be P‘, where when some Hokkien words are actually p plus a puff of air, where that "puff of air" is incorrectly written as an h after a P or T, as Ph or Th, confusing the learners. In summary: P/Ph, T/Th, where P in P & Ph is as in Peter, but due to European influence became a b sound, hilariously called implosive b by linguists, so now most p‘s in Vietnamese are a b sound: problem = "broblem" for Vietnamese, where due to French only know ph as f sound. P at the end is the only location where it's correctly pronounced. T in T & Th should be same sound as in Tom, th is t with puff of air. but again due to French, etc... Became a "rapid d" sound, which is actually wrong. Th should be t with a puff of air, but due to French influence became a T as in Tom, instead of thin or mother. They should use F/f as in Fở (world famous beef noodle soup) with an F to show this word is Vietnamese & not a loanword from any ancient Chinese dialect/speech, where it should be spelled P'/p' (P/p with puff of air, where a universal h is incorrect for the puff of air: in ancient Greek, the h sound for puff of air is no longer pronounced in modern Greek, even though is still written as ') as in p'ăng & only spelled φ when from French or European languages as in "càφê", via French café, via Italian caffe, via Greek. καφές(spelled k-a-ph-é-s in Greek. Might as well use Greek Φ/φ in place of ph in French which it's sometimes a space saving language, somewhat like Chinese. Latin is dead and those words are long due to dipthongs and double consonants. French should keep most of the original Frankish root words. So, 1. ph for words from French or non-Asian foreign languages, 2. p' for Chinese loanwords, 3. F for native Vietnamese words.

[@Dustin-ps6ol]

I do not know why, but Chinese living along the coastal line like Hong Kong or Qing Dao look closer to Korean than the ones living inland like Chong Qing or Xian. The Hong Kong girl in the video looks like Korean too.

[@ChikyuuKun]

korean is made up of 60% chinese loanwords japanese is made up of 40% - 50% chinese loanwords (lesser because we have native readings)

[@헤드헌터-m5k]

芳雪羽鳥 Who say 60%? actually 40% ~ 50% 60% ~ 70% is 國漢文混用主義者(i dunno in English)'s insisting

[@BrightWarmWater]

The ratios of native words to loan words in korean and japanese are very similar. The difference is in japanese Kanji the chinese character is read in several ways, roughly sound readings, native readings, mixed reading and also their variations), whereas in korean Hanja the chinese character is read in sound readings and the native words are written and read in Hangeul.

[@lilillilil]

Japanese uses Chinese letter even Hirakana katakana is derived from Chinese letter poor Japanese dosen't have their own alphabets

[@港完]

At Tang dynasty, cantonese was closer to the main language,fyi

[@weixuzhao]

but those words like airplane taxi bus are all coming from western

Well, taxi and bus, yes, but not airplane/aeroplane - it translates literally as 'flying machine'.

[@annameichan8345]

Exercise sounds the same in both languages

[@williammak8874]

pronunciation was bit off for canto, tones were off for a minority but it doesnt matter you said you werent the best. I realised the same thing speaking with my korean friends but a lot of these words are sinitic origin, and some are indo-euro origin. this occurs a alot in languages when a local super power becomes very influential and smaller kingdoms tend to send diplomats and scholars over to learn more and thus, new ideas and items are borrowed as loan words, and i'm not 100% sure about korean and japanese but for instance, English has a lot of french words swapped in favour of its original germanic root words as it sounded more prestigious, such as pork (french) and pig (old-english), one is eaten and the other is livestock. So this could've happened to japanese, korean and viet words but perhaps overtime there was no usage for such words, and the korean version of 'pig' and gradually faded out. However, many doesnt know that Cantonese, mandarin and the sinitic-languages have a lot of japanese loan words, this is especially true for modern western concepts like biology, physics, liberty and etc. Japan during the early 1900s and late 1800s was more exposed to western society involuntarily, and china with korea being a vassal was in a period of isolation policy. Therefore, many scholars and diplomats went to Japan to study, and because Japan still used Hanzi or Hanji, this was translated directly to chinese words, because the usage of the same script. Korea being a vassal state also too gained these western ideas either from china translating Japanese or directly from Japan because korea during this time period heavily depended on Hanji and the korean script looked more like japanese with hangul rather than the modern 100% complete hangul.

[@User_dkffkdrkagfgk]

[@dieurooney9725]

So different ;)) I think Vietnamese is pronunciate the same Cantonese " fi gey" - phi cơ = airplan

[@oceanlile]

airplane is so similar! wow :D

[@thevannmann]

They're from the same source but cơ has an "uh" sound.

[@trien30]

dieu rooney airplane(s)/aeroplane(s) was only 1 of the many words borrowed from Cantonese. 飛機 in Chinese, which in Cantonese is "fei gei" to be exact, and approximated as "phi cơ" in Vietnamese, but that's rarely used now except in linguistic comparisons. 飛 , fei, means "to fly", 機, gei, means "machine" in Chinese. The word order is reversed in Vietnamese. People who had lived/stayed in Vietnam before April 30,1976 will forever know it as Saigon( in English aka Sài Gòn in Vietnamese /Ho Chi Minh City in English, aka Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh in Vietnamese/Ho Chi Minh Ville in French), mostly use the native Vietnamese word "máy bay"* for "airplane(s)/aeroplane(s)" (where aeroplane(s) is a rare British spelling via French from Greek αερο meaning "air" + PLANE) and "sân bay"** for an "airport" instead. * máy = machine in Vietnamese, bay = to fly" in Vietnamese. **bay in "sân bay" is an abbreviated form for "máy bay", the Vietnamese word for "airplane(s)/aeroplane(s).

[@thevannmann]

Lee Kwok It's the other way around actually. Those born and raised in South Vietnam prior to 1975, including many boat people living overseas, used phi trường (飛場) instead of sân bay which the Northerners used. My parents are both from the South and always use phi trường, as do their friends. Nowadays most Vietnamese use máy bay but before 1975 (and those born before that) like to use phi cơ. Also, most overseas Vietnamese call the city Sài Gòn. It can also be called Sài Thành or simply thành phố (by those in the Mekong delta). I suspect that cơ (機) would've been pronounced as "ky" originally but due to vowel mutations it become cơ so phi ky > phi cơ. Here you can see how the Southern language differed in the past: i144.photobucket.com/albums/r165/Vanthimet/20110509124730_comic-cover610x500.jpg Some things to note: - Hyphenation was popular - They used phi cơ. - Phản lực cơ was used in place of máy bay phản lực. - Cây số was used for kilometres (people overseas like my parents still use it).

This was really interesting! There's also some similarities between Korean and Mandarin Chinese, much like Cantonese :)

[@oceanlile]

yes! i think Mandarin has way more similarity to Korean than Canto but unfortunately I only know how to speak a little bit of Canto.

[@Alex-bb1xn]

Ocean Lile that's not true. It's actually the other way around. Korean sounds more similar to Cantonese than Mandarin.

[@trien30]

Alex Korean, like Vietnamese, borrowed a lot from southern Fujianese (Minnanyu), Cantonese, Hakka, and Teochew/Chaozhouhua, which later got naturalized and so doesn't sound like modern Fujianese: a b sound in some Korean & Fujianese words would be an m sound in Cantonese. An h sound in Fujianese or Korean can be a p sound in Japanese or f sound in Cantonese, but is the same h sound in Vietnamese. Almost all Vietnamese words starting with a v sound is from Hakka, which in Cantonese tends to be a y sound(southern Vietnamese borrowed y sound from Cantonese), which somehow is a z sound in northern Vietnamese.

[@Alex-bb1xn]

Lee Kwok thanks for the lesson on the history of Hokkien mate. But what's that got to do with my comment, which was specifically about Korean relative to Cantonese and Mandarin.

[@trien30]

Alex I said what I did to show that not a lick of Mandarin was borrowed in Vietnamese, yet it was borrowed in modern Korean. The last name 張/ 张 is a good example: it's romanized as Chang in Taiwan, and at least in South Korea until 2000, where it was revised as Jang, as in the name of Korean actress Jang Nara - 창 나 라 in Korean [Hangul](張娜拉*/张娜拉* in Chinese) who acted in China's tv dramas. *娜拉 is Chinese approximate of 나라, her Korean name via Mandarin.

you are right, generally there are a lot more words in coastal Min dialects sounding more similar to korean than cantonese does, although of course cantonese and min dialects are the same family anyway, but anyway they do sound more similar. I speak a southern min close related to hokkien on hainan island known as "hainanese", and "america" is "muey gok", which is even more similar.

[@Patrickson2718]

Sorry, but I guess the pronunciations of both languages are not written correctly... For example, cat is pronounced closer to 'go yang-i' and library is 'do seo gwan' in Korean. Also, in Cantonese, I guess Japan is 'Jat bun' in jyutping and 'yat bun' in Yale.

Kuma Mai does NOT mean "beautiful" in America. 美 = mei in Mandarin, び, "bi" in Japanese, 미, mi, in Korean, & Mỹ in Vietnamese. Try going to the USA, and ask people what the meaning of "mai" is.

Korean actually be closer to Mandarin rather than Cantonese

[@jonslct]

For one thing, Mandarin has lost the K trailing consonant from Middle Chinese, which are still present in both Korean and Cantonese. So a word like '國‘ is now 'guo' in Mandarin, 'guk' in Korean, and 'gwok' in Cantonese.

[@6Uncles]

give an example where Korean is closer to Mandarin than Cantonese. Like @jonlct said, Cantonese & Korean both has glottal stops entering tones, where Mandarin doesn't.
