Learn Chinese with Vlog: Walk around in a Supermarket (Prices in China vs USA)

[@EverydayChinese]

@SeenaMusic BTW, I am happy to introduce my friend Seena to you. She is a singer. You can follow her on her KZbin channel to learn some popular Chinese songs: www.youtube.com/@SeenaMusic

[@hoanvu9418]

More videos like this, please. I can learn a lot of vocab and pronunciation.

[@alanfischer1948]

Deng Deng, you look fully recovered after your surgery now :) This was another quite interesting video, and I appreciate the English translation along with the Chinese. In the US, there are major grocery chains where everything will cost less than a store like Whole Foods. Near me there are two major grocery stores in my state, Hannafords and Market Basket, both centered in the Northeast US where I will go rather than Whole Foods. I find the quality the same.

[@EverydayChinese]

Glad to know that in details. We really appreciate it.

[@carlosflores4733]

I do like the you are a very down to earth laoshi first and most very good to see and everyday in life things the most of us do..also the listening of you teaching it's very nice as well love it.

[@EverydayChinese]

Glad to hear how you like our videos. We really appreciate it.

Hello, I am a college student in China, currently learning English, can carry on some simple English conversation. If you are good at English and want to learn Chinese or practice speaking, maybe we can learn from each other.

[@Desiri-ll7iv]

你好。。I am an international student in one of the universities in China. I am now studying Chinese. My English is relatively good but I am not a native speaker. If you are still interested to have speaking pals, I am more than happy to do so

[@bluedragontoybash2463]

你英语没问题 lha !

[@Dlynh99]

Im into watching video like this , so practical , easy to learn . I hope you can post more videos like this ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@SeenaMusic]

Thanks Deng Deng for making me part of your video 🙏 @everydaychinese

[@ilanakaminker2050]

我真的很喜欢这些视频❤！价格和俄罗斯的价格差不多，但是当我在中国的时候，我很惊讶有很多水果和蔬菜，价格很便宜，特别是西瓜🤭很好吃！

[@robynem6016]

This was so helpful thank you! I do think it should be disclaimed, whole foods is very expensive compared to many regular grocery stores though. I only go there for fancy treats haha

[@mekicao]

Thank you and glad to see your video again! 🥰

[@EverydayChinese]

Thank you too! Keep on learning with us.

[@mountaintag]

For 板栗 ("chestnut"), the packaging showed 栗仁。 I think that 仁 means "kernel", which is the inside of the nut. So I guess 栗仁 means that the chestnuts have been "shelled" or "peeled". Good to know.

[@doenutkingbruce5531]

Yummmm 😅😅😅 strawberry Oreos 奥利奥????

[@EverydayChinese]

Yes! We have different flavors of Oreos in China.

[@pierregagnon2666]

​@@EverydayChinese I have a request, A topic you could possibly do, one day. Can you and your team do a video of the "kaifeng" culture? You guys can make it educational. And talk about words and translate vocabulary; like temples, scrolls, candles, prayers, holy days, priest ECT It's no simple task, but I'll highly appreciate it 🫡

[@lexxryazanov]

在中国牛奶太贵了！其它产品的价格和俄罗斯一样。 谢谢你的视频！

[@EverydayChinese]

是不是在俄罗斯有很多奶牛，所以牛奶便宜？谢谢告知！

[@mountaintag]

一支牙膏 I like the measure word 支 ("stick") for 牙膏 ("toothpaste"), because it does look like a stick. But we are originally taught to use 管 ("tube"), and this is what we use in English. Because toothpaste is a material, we have to use a measure word to indicate how much we're talking about. We can't say "a toothpaste". Must say "a tube of toothpaste". When we put some on a toothbrush, we say "a dab of toothpaste". I don't know how to say this in Chinese. Perhaps simply 一点牙膏。

[@EverydayChinese]

Exactly, 一点牙膏。 E.g. 刷牙的时候，挤一点点牙膏就可以了！

I will soon start learning Chinese

is the woman in NY not American?

[@robynem6016]

No as an english speaker she sounds like she probably comes from somewhere in Europe, but she speaks perfect english.

[@pred4507]

I love your Videos... but why this comparison? Are you trying to make the US look bad? Maybe you should also mention that the median salary is 900$/month and 300 million people are living on less than 100$/month.

[@pred4507]

By the way... i don't think this was your intention. But this is a sensitive topic, as this is exactly one of the talking points that Chinese propaganda spreads right now in western social media.

[@teflerchina.2987]

This video is for learning Chinese and for those who want to know how much something is in other currencies. The median salary in China is 26,800 Yuan (USD 3,855) per month. That means half of the population draws an average income less than the median salary. In contrast, the other half earns more than the median salary. And generally speaking, the economic development of the country is directly proportional to the number of people making more than the median salary.

[@pred4507]

@@teflerchina.2987 you are absolutely delusional if you think its 4k. That is more than most of Europe. Canada has about 3800. Where did you get that number?

[@teflerchina.2987]

@@pred4507 Median salary not actual salary. Maybe you can search online. Key words. Average wages/salary in China. I work in China and I know for a fact that in the province I am in down south, that monthly salaries for shop workers is over 4,000 rmb a month. Shop managers can earn over 10,000 Rmb a month. That is more than what I get for teaching kids. Salaries in Guangxi range from 7,490 CNY (lowest average) to 132,000 CNY (maximum average salary, actual maximum is higher) The median salary is 26,900 CNY

[@EverydayChinese]

I was just curious to know the differences in prices in a supermarket between the two countries. I thought the audience might be interested too. That's it. Some locally made products in China are somewhat cheap. But some of the high-tech products I didn't mention like iPhones are much more expensive in China.

[@FilipP88]

Honestly pretty expensive I thought that China is cheaper. Here in Germany it’s all cheaper in supermarkets

[@sebthi7890]

Ich denke, dass dieser Laden die zahlungskräftige Mittelschicht versorgt. Lebensmittel gibt es vielleicht auf Märkten zu ganz anderen Preisen... meine Vermutung.

[@FilipP88]

@@sebthi7890 Könnte durchaus sein

[@EverydayChinese]

Glad to know that in Germany. We really appreciate it.

[@steveb932]

Most of the prices are cheaper than I pay in California USA.

[@toddbolduc8000]

I really enjoy this vlog format. I live in a very rural area in the US with no way to connect with native Mandarin speakers like someone in New York or another big city. This video format let's me learn vocabulary and also try to listen to the people speaking in the background. It is very helpful.

[@lindenh2014]

I live in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Even here I find it almost impossible to connect with native Mandarin speakers. There is a 'Chinese Church' fairly close to where I live, and I was interested to go there to absorb the language during the services. But I found out that the services are held in Cantonese. Every 'Chinese person' here seems to be from Hong Kong. Mainland Chinese are supposed to be everywhere. But at the same time, they seem to be nowhere.

[@llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogeryc...]

Dude, no way! I'm also from Cardiff, and this church is also fairly close to where I live. I recently started learning Mandarin. What a coincidence!

[@kennytam9514]

I have learned how to say grocery items in Mandarin. Thank you Deng Deng.

[@toddbolduc8000]

The ironic part is that all organic produce is wrapped in plastic to segregate it from the "normal" non organic produce. This is actually a choice made by the organic growers to ensure their products look different and therefore maintain the higher price point. If you put an organic apple next to a non-organic apple, no one could tell the difference. So, they put big plastic labels on the organic apple to make it stand out.
