我80 年代讀書時(香港)都係讀 Purchase, 反而一路都無聽過有人讀pur-chase😅，真係睇片先知，感謝老師！又長知識。

施太講得好啱,小時候學英文要聽及唱多些英文歌,我的年代當然要翦SCMP交功課，不過最開心是看芝麻街學英文,去看動畫電影一定要看英文,而唔讚成看粵語配音..Greg 遇到啲問題Purchase 這個字,當年我去上 Diploma 堂時都聽過唔一樣啲讀法....好多謝施太啲remind,這就不會失禮了

Also funny that you recommend watching a lot of English, Australian, and American TV shows to study English because you can follow the subtitles.. yet with trying to learn Cantonese, no one seems to write the subtitles in 口語 and instead write it in 書面語 and then wonder why ABCs, CBCs, and BBCs are not very literate or don't have good speaking skills. I think there should be a movement to change and support this for the future of Cantonese learners.

[@MrMilanoLau]

Actually, if you watch HK movies, you will find that a lot of the subtitles are not in standard Chinese, but in Cantonese. However, to me, it is quite weird. If one speaks Cantonese, he / she does not need to read the subtitles. For those who do not speak Cantonese, they cannot understand the subtitles. Just don't know what those Cantonese subtitles are for.

[@puccarts]

@@MrMilanoLau I guess it's the difference between a 'closed caption' subtitle and translated subtitles. If you know any HK movies with subtitles in Cantonese please let me know! I only found subtitles for God of Gamblers.. and I'd like to find more. I think that for those who don't speak Cantonese, but do speak a variety of Chinese (Mandarin, or other dialects) it would be easier for them to learn Cantonese through exposure with BOTH audio and written content, and not just audio content. This way, you could pause the video, and look up the characters that are unknown to you; it gives you a base to look back on.. instead of just guessing what the speaker might be saying. It would also make it much easier to preserve the Cantonese language (writing it down is a form of preservation.) Having those subtitles are there for a more accurate visual representation of what was said in that movie.

[@mimipoon1851]

How about ‘purchasing’ ? The stress is on the 1st or 2nd syllable?

[@joeywan8550]

Always the first syllable for the word “purchase”.

[@lalpeter9298]

施太，开多d英文channel

[@hihii2189]

greg is handsome!

[@poonfrankie38]

I think because the word “purchasing” pronounce “pur-chas-sing” so people is confused the present tense is pronounced as “pur-chase” where the stress is on the second part.

[@joewong9983]

English is not entirely phonetic. Teaching 'whole word' is important.

[@elaine34567]

@@roverwl2068 my question was related to the stress on first or second syllable. Not so much on French or English pronunciation. Thx

[@elaine34567]

So for encore and entree both have stress on first syllable. But for ensuite, the stress is not on the first syllable.

[@elaine34567]

@@roverwl2068 thanks. But I have to disagree with you. The stress for ensuite is on the second syllable. That's how it's pronounced and that's what I learned since my time in Canada. Only recently I learned it's pronounced "differently" thanks to more KZbinrs. I also checked Oxford, Cambridge, and Merriam Webster dictionaries. You can see where the ' is placed for words ensuite, entree, and encore respectively. How we pronounce a word is mainly coming from our teachers when we first learned English, then the people surrounding us are most influential as we grow up. Of course if someone pronounce ensuite with the stress on the first syllable I am not going to bite. Likewise if someone pronounce ensuite correctly with the stress on second syllable please respect and don't bite because that's how it should be pronounced.

美加英語對話中的can同can’t有時很難聽得到其發音分別 ，有冇方法分辨？

[@marcusray1638]

i think the difference is pitch or pause of rhythm before verb

[@tlam9228]

我有美國和英國同事purchase 是同一讀法

[@puccarts]

Rice isn't necessarily an uncountable noun like "the sunshine" would be; when speaking of rice you usually use it in terms of what I believe is a collective noun. (Like how a few sheep is plural for a single sheep.) When you want to make 'rice' a singular noun, you use "a grain of rice", and "grains of rice" for the plural form, which would be similar to 一粒米. It's 3 chicken combos, not 3 chicken combo. I don't have a linguistic major but I'm a native English speaker. Hope this helps. (Btw, Pur-CHASE is just just wrong; if I would have a hard time understanding someone if they just dropped that on me in conversation.. it would take me a few moments to realize they meant PURchase.) Overall, great video :)

[@pwong802]

In fact, in Hong Kong, people have a lot of problems of stress placement. Your example of the word "purchase" is a prototypical one. Other similar examples include: meCHAnism and memBRANE (where the main stress is erroneously shifted to the second syllable). Thanks for your sharing. : )

[@puccarts]

@@pwong802 If you want to say it's correct using HongKong English, then yes that's fine. I can understand that, and it can be understood as a dialect or regional quirk. However, most, if not all, native English speakers outside of Hong Kong would argue that this is simply wrong. Also, I know I'm being a grammar-nazi here (this is a video about being nitpicky, after all), but your first sentence should be "people have a lot of problems with stress placement." Anyways, I encourage everyone to try and learn English, or try and better their English. And even if you have the "wrong" stress or pronunciation in a word, there are many native English speakers that would be happy to help you increase your level of English :) My Cantonese also has a long way to go but I also know I shouldn't be imposing my anglicized pronunciation like "BOK choi" instead of 白菜 lol.. Imagine if I did that and then argued with a local saying that BOK choi is correct.. lol XD.. I know I'd get some crazy stares.. It's a similar thing.

[@joeywan8550]

Hi Puccarts, both “rice” and “sunshine” are uncountable nouns. There are different types of uncountable nouns (like abstract nouns, amorphous objects, physical objects that are numerous and very small, etc). Collective nouns and uncountable nouns are two different types of nouns and shouldn’t be confused. In the example you provided, “a grain of rice” and “grains of rice”, the noun “grain” is singular whereas “grains” is plural. The word rice remains uncountable (therefore, no plural form).

[@puccarts]

@@joeywan8550 Great answer, I was thinking of that myself, actually. I thought in terms of this video, that I could draw parallels to using the counter 一粒 to represent a grain and simply saying you are able to count the singular and plural version. I also always thought sheep (singular) was just the same spelling as sheep (plural) instead of being an uncountable noun, they simply had the same spelling and pronunciation as the plural version. (Would this make 'sheep' uncountable? What will I have to do at night?! jk..) I assumed this was the same for 'rice'. Anyways, as I said earlier, I'm not a linguistics major, and what you wrote makes sense so thanks for the correction.

👍🏻請教、在睇片時對白與字幕都係英文、但vocabulary 好弱、要不段停機、查字典、從而冇興趣睇落去！請問有什麼方法去改善？謝謝🙏🏻

[@joeywan8550]
