Sheldon Speaks Mandarin

[@mcbrandon7354]

I'm Chinese and I think Sheldon generally got the tone correct, which is remarkable. However, he apparently got the vocabulary confused and even the Chinese audience find it hard to make out what he intended to say.

[@DonaldHolben]

It sounded smoother than the Owners Chinese.

[@sanderkoekkoek9866]

I have studied Chinese for 3 years as a side study and i find it incredible hard to understand a word of what he say.

[@mcbrandon7354]

@@sanderkoekkoek9866Not your fault bro😂 But if you are interested, he meant to say "Long live socialism" to the Chinese students, which should be "社会主义万岁" . But he translated it as "长寿社会" and pronounced it like "长寿石灰" which was "long live concrete"😄

[@davisphillips993]

I wonder if Howard started teaching Sheldon wrong after being pushed too far 😂

[@mcbrandon7354]

Actually Howard is not a good Chinese speaker himself. As Sheldon had said, "I'm just as good as my teacher"

[@DonaldHolben]

That's my vote lol :)

This scene and the first scene in Season 4 where Penny learns about Amy are the funniest in the whole series.

We never got the translation of what sheldon said to penny when she scared him

[@stephaniegittinger7980]

Actually we did: "holy crap, you scared me!"

[@Florian-tg9kc]

​@@stephaniegittinger7980 It's more like "You scared me to death"

[@christopherelia]

Omg, that’s some hilariously bad Chinese!

[@YD-uq5fi]

This was the perfect setup for "Cartwright!!"
