Owner Stunned When I Order Chinese Takeout in Rare Local Dialect

Find out how I learn languages at streetsmartlanguages.com/mast... and enter code MASTER for 50% off! Today I’m practicing my Fuzhounese 福州话, otherwise known in English as Fuzhou dialect, Foochow, Hokchew, or simply FJ, in New York City Chinatown. There are lots of Fujianese immigrants in NYC and people were really surprised that I was able to learn this rare oral dialect of Chinese. Especially when I used it to order some delicious Chinese food!

[@IDontReallyWantAYoutubeHandle]

@@trevorcarlson6134 I only learn Japanese so maybe there's a bit of a cultural difference, but "foreigner" usually has a bit of a different connotation in those languages. A good rule of thumb is basically anybody outside of a language's country of origin, so in this case, China. It has a bit of nuisance that's hard to put into words, but it's kind of another way to say "American" or just anybody in general whose not Chinese in one word

@Bill Sanford The Chinese should accept people regardless… they do not as you can see in most of his videos how they talk about their customers in their language, roll their eyes when asked questions about the menu & have zero patience.

You inspired me to try to say “thank you “ in Fuzhounese at dinner tonight to the server and she was very surprised! She says that in this town it is rare someone can recognise the sound of it, let alone try to say a few words in it. I am in Southern Indiana and people here do not usually make an effort to try to understand and say a few words in any foreign language other than Spanish. Thank you for the inspiration! I grew up in Hawai’i and Southern California, so can recognise the sound of Mandarin and Cantonese, but I know nearly nothing; my education and experience has been with Japanese, so this is kinda neat. :)

I don't understand how you can understand what they're saying but can't speak it. How does that work.

[@AA-wq5sm]

@@frankdux5693 Think of it this way. Here is a sentence in Dutch: "Kom in mijn warme huis, mijn vriend". It's a bit more difficult to tell from text, but if I spoke this out, it would sound something like: "Kom in mine warm house, mine freend". Now, perhaps you speak Dutch, but I assume you don't. Despite that, you can clearly understand what is being said in this sentence if you speak English. But you don't speak Dutch. The same sort of thing would happen with people who may speak Mandarin but not Fuzhonese.

[@extrasuperpowr]

​@@AA-wq5smwait, is Dutch honestly almost that easy?

[@itsjeeeeeef]

​@@extrasuperpowr yes and no. There are sentences which you can read if you only know english, but there are other sentences such as "Volgens de politie gedroegen de mannen zich tijdens de controle verdacht" -- "According to the police the men behaved suspiciously during the check" where only a few words may be understandable

Excellent work there. My mum is from the HengHua section of FuZhou I had only heard her speaking this with her late parents decades ago. It is similar to Hokkien but it has some specific lispings. Decades later I walked into a Sushi train restaurant in Australia and heard the staff there speaking this dialect. I greeted them and spoke with them in their dialect. They were surprised to have a random guy walking in and speaking their dialect. Outside of my mum's family I had not heard anyone else speaking this either.
