I started learning mandarin last year and I loved it so much I'm actually going back to college in September to study the language! I'm still a beginner but your channel is so helpful I'm so glad KZbin recommanded it to me! I'm incredibly happy to learn mandarin so thank you very much for your help :)

[@hams2410]

I've heard of these words in real conversations, but now I know that they are filler words! 谢谢你 ❤️

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

I’m glad it helps! ;)

[@3rodox]

Hol up

[@jebbyjackaland1172]

So creative, really like how you pronounced the word 😁

[@MarshaBaldwin24]

谢谢又是的好的视频了！I really appreciate the fact you chose to give an explanation of filler words in the beginning. We learn them instinctively in our L1 but second language teachers tend to not teach them because they are seen as informal and not suitable for academic situations. Regardless of your opinion on that, they are a natural conversational aspect of all languages which you highlighted nicely in your video so it’s important to know them! Also fun fact, when we get stuck in thought in our L1 we of course use filler words but in our L2 we tend to just say nothing...depending how fluent we are. Another reason fillers are good to know 哈哈

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Yes I think using a suitable amount of filler word helps a conversation flow better! And also knowing filler words in a language can improve your understanding of that language 👍

[@krissyofcourse]

I find it especially important for building listening and comprehension! If someone is speaking to you and using a bunch of filler words you don't know, you will get really confused really fast.

[@周美优]

很有意思和真有用！谢谢你Grace老师！你的视频太好了！

[@watchdemfools3420]

Yo... Did you see Russell Peters talk about "neige ( 那個)" at KFC in China? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKPWiKNmbKeqjM0 It was hilarious🤣🤣🤣 because of the situation and how it sounded similar to the "N-word" in English. Be careful when learning new languages.

[@maxamednuuryusuf2653]

Hello grace, I wanna learn Chinese especially Taiwanese mandarin where can I learn traditional characters and Taiwanese accent, please respond If you any free resources

[@viapuso1967]

And that's why, that when people who speak Mandarin as their first language, the fact is that they tend to over use the word "that" , THAT is.

[@waoyan6832]

Graceeee I’m eleven and you remind me of my Chinese teacher I had at 8 years 😅(she went back to China)😢

[@matthewstein6838]

I never knew what nei ge meant but I always heard this from Chinese university students. In American english it sounds very similar to a racial slur against African/Black Americans spelled nigg*r. Obviously people know in conversation that the individuals are speaking a foreign language but that is not a Mandarin word I would ever ponder or say out loud unless as a part of a sentence. I always felt uncomfortable hearing it but hopefully knowing what it means eases that anxiety towards that word. Anyways thanks.

[@alancarvente7295]

I don't know but I'm getting more and more used to the way you pronounce Chinese hahaha, 666！

I'm subscribing to your channel btw!!

I think that ran hou is the equivalent of using 'like' as a filler word in English. Compared to other filler words they're more likely to be overused and make you sound unsure or unprofessional.

[@jamesalexandergrimsl]

Grace我挺喜欢你拍的视频，加油啊，你能不能帮我们拍一个关于语气词的视频么？比方说：吧，呢，嘛，尤其是这三个语气词还是经常把我弄糊涂了。谢谢啦

Is 填充词 a common way to say filler word or more of an academic way? Does a word like 赘词 have the same meaning and is it commonly used? Thanks

thanks for your video. It's so helpful for me. Could you make a video talking about How to express " In order to" ," so that" in chinese. I look forward to watching that video soon. 谢谢

[@R._zZ]

"In order to" can be expressed as 为了, 去 or 来 in daily conversation, and "so that" can be used as 以便 or 这样 （more colloquially）. Hope it helps😄

[@baouyennguyenvo7689]

Can you give me some examples sentences? Thanks a lot

[@joshuacantin514]

The usage of 然后 seems rather similar to "puis", as used in some dialects of Canadian French :P (though "puis" is pronounced as "pee" instead of the official "pwee")

Cool! So you can get used to using 然後（然后）easily 😆
