I like this Korean girl, she was friendly to Chinese. The Japanese girl tried to separate them.

[@EunWolAria]

As a person who's studied all 3 of those languages, I found Cantonese way more similar to Japanese and Korean than Mandarin, countless similarities.

[@KirkKiyosadaTome]

Agreed, especially for various foods!

[@hayabusa1329]

Hokkien too

[@serbaserbi6004]

Coz hokkian n cantonese is chinese old language. Mandarin is a new language. Korean japanese adopt old chinese more than new chinese

[@jasontungjw]

Hokkien has joined the chat lol

[@qlskxixkann]

5:40 Japan has that word too 1.体karada= 몸mom 2.身体 しんたいshin(sin)tai=신체sinchae(che)5:32 The first is the language of own country and the second is an expression that borrows Chinese character

[@southbaysaul2543]

Yes, unfortunately, it seems the young Japanese woman just forgot about second words which mean the same thing but come from Chinese characters and so sound similar to the Chinse and Korean. For example, 'shintai,' as you mention. Also, at 7:05, she forgot to mention 'hifu,' which also means 'skin,' and sounds very similar to the Chinese and Korean words.

[@laanhi7248]

The words "advertisement" & "flower" in Chinese literally sounds the same as Vietnamese pronounce, it's just accent difference. In Vietnamese language we say "Quảng cáo" and "Hoa".

[@sw36jl]

It is because it is likely a loanword from Chinese. Vietnam only had its nationhood after 1,000 years of Chinese rule in the 900s AD

[@laanhi7248]

@@sw36jl There are so many loanwords from France, too.

[@thevannmann]

Because they are Hán-Việt words. The native Vietnamese word for flower is bông.

[@thevannmann]

@@laanhi7248 Not as many as Chinese. Only a few hundred from French but about 10,000 from Chinese. Very few French loanwords are still used.

[@laanhi7248]

@@thevannmann I thought "bông" is just used in my Southern part of Vietnam.

[@Funnyguyfun7]

Long time ago, Korean and Japanese borrowed a lot of vocabulary from Old Chinese. This is why all 3 often use basically the same words. Mandarin Chinese changed a lot the pronunciation with time. However, other chinese languages like Cantonese Chinese kept a lot of the Old Chinese pronunciation. Therefor, Cantonese pronunciation would be more similar to Korea and Japanese comparing with Mandarin. For example, family in Cantonese is "Ga Zuk" similar to Korean "Ga Jog" and Japanese "Ka Zoku". Meanwhile Mandarin is "Jia Zu" which sounds more different.

[@kenchong9799]

Some Japanese words sound more like Mandarin though. For example 愛 (あい）is "ai" in Mandarin but "oi" in Canto。不安（ふあん）is "bu an" in Mandarin, but "bat on" in Cantonese etc. What I find similar between Cantonese/Hokkien and Japanese/Korean is the existence of 入聲 (syllables ending with a stop consonant (p, t, k)). Like the example you gave 家族,. Chinese Mandarin do not have 入聲.

[@JohnLee-dp8ey]

They should also compare the writings, especially for Chinese and Japanese

[@dragonfly02490]

In this video, when they said Chinese, they meant Mandarin Chinese. There are many dialects of Chinese, and they sound different. Fuzhounese and Cantonese are older than Mandarin, thus, some of these sounds are more similar to Korean or Japanese because Korean and Japanese borrowed these words from Chinese.

[@zh99885]

As a Cantonese, I do find that when they are similar, they are often closer to Cantonese than Mandarin. (But in fact, there are many dialects of Chinese. Cantonese is more widely known because it is more widely spread around the world with Cantonese immigrants. In fact, due to the movement of people across the country, it would be more convenient to use Mandarin, which is derived from the northern dialect, result in many other dialects disappearing. Emphasizing only the preservation of Cantonese is a neglect of other Chinese dialects.)

I think 구루마 comes from くるま, maybe back in the days when Korea was part of Japan before WW2

[@JSN723]

I thought kuruma in Korea referred to a rickshaw aka a man powered vehicle. If so, that could be the overlap in concept and use.

In Philippines we also have word “kaban” pronounce as kában but it usually refers to trunk chest. People now adays use “sack of rice” for measurement but before we use “chest of rice”. Some areas still use it as measurement.

[@thevannmann]

Vietnamese has a lot of similar loanwords too.

[@AngieTjoa]

Comparing the corresponding hanzi would be fun trivia too. Like, hanja, kanzi, traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese. Also if the chinese speaker could also speak Cantonese or Fujianese.

[@ftu2021]

Or if she could speak shanghainese, wenzhounese, hunanese etc cmon there are over 50 dialects. Mandarin is the standard dialect so let’s try and not complicate things

[@Hoshino_Channel]

Woah who could've guessed two languages that used to be exclusively written with chinese characters and that have massive amounts of chinese loanwords have similar words

[@user-og1nu5pb8c]

Is this vid directly copied from a Korean channel called " World Friends"? On the other hand, there a some words that used different letters although they have a same corresponding counterpart. I speak all those languages including Vietnamese, it's natural that sino originated words sound similar between these four languages. They can all be written by using the same Chinese characters 漢字.

[@kinho1251]

Cantonese numbers and Korean Numbers are closer sounding.

[@johnwest4326]

Wrong. Instead Just a few sumilar words, look at general sound, tone, body language etc...then you will see these are totally three different language

Can you make this video with India Pakistan Bangladesh and America and Japan...plzzz 😊😊

[@MrDreamie]

some words in Korean and Japanese ar similar to Hokkien

[@jammosu6498]

I think the Japanese invasion may have influenced Korean

[@JSN723]

I would be lying if I didn’t believe it somewhat did. But Korea/China/Japan has a ton of history prior to just the modern era invasion of Korea. Old basic concepts like triangle or sangak or sangaku as an example are just old basic human concepts that probably stayed similar between the countries. More modern words like arubaito or apato, for part time job or apartment I could see as coming from the after affects of the occupation of Korea. I think the word for part time job is a loan word from German or Dutch?

[@lostinthesupermarket]

Man they sound a thousand times more attractive when they speak their own language. English on them sounds like a stressed 45 yo waitress at a diner

[@bohu4586]

korean and japanese are like "eastern dialect" in chinese. you don't compare japanese and korean to mandarin because mandarin is based on northern chinese accent. if you compare them to eastern chinese dialect they are much more similar.and it's reasonable because japan and korea are in the east of china

[@jammosu6498]

Korean was invaded by both Japan and China which influenced their language, but they created their own alphabet

[@user-mi9uv5pp5b]

Korean and Japanese back in the day sent students to China to learn Chinese! Not because of invasion. If you are not colonized by English speaking countries, then you learn English because it is the most popular language worldwide nowadays. Chinese was at the same level in East Asia back then.

[@Hoshino_Channel]

This Chinese girl is really not so confident and prepared... She didn't participate in the discussion and couldn't spot the connections between Chinese words and the other two in many cases. Quite annoying. And this American girl is so ignorant that it hurt my eyes a little bit. Most importantly, if this video is meant to be educational and enlightening, someone knowledgeable about all three languages should participate and educate them as well as us audience. Otherwise, this only passes on more misinformation.
