[@vlz7393]

This has further strengthened my understanding that Chinese is hard af

[@PeterLiuIsBeast]

Why? If it's the number of translations for a single word then ddon't worry. English itself has synonyms too.

[@hanchen3932]

꿀Mel Zol 哈哈哈哈

[@samstock3531]

yes

[@DakFortheWin]

tbh this isnt much different from English. I once had to play this game in class, except it was to practice using vocab for the SATs, and we all know how those SAT words never really became useful later on in life lol. Just like how the chinese words here arnt that commonly used

[@nansinnit8705]

Didn't understand a word, but the language sounds too damn cool to skip.

[@ddzgdt]

Oh Olivia's welcome meme gets me every time lmao

[@MsAbilityMC]

Me before watching this video: applies to a Chinese language class Me after watching this: Lol I will never learn Chinese, what am I even doing

[@Dollarsgourmet]

Anna C lmao!!!!!

[@liamsmith5842]

99% of these chinese words people don't use it in real life lol so it's ok

[@LukeWong0505]

its not true... prolly lower class people wont use them but most are common words

[@sullyflynn8746]

prolly

[@bakeryssoul]

Me before watching this video: I'm Chinese, I studied for 7 years in China, my Chinese is very good Me after watching this: What is a Chinese? Is it edible?

[@alisonlim3300]

1)Tries to encourage self by saying that Chinese is not that hard 2)watch this video 3)dies 😭😭😭 LOL

[@crono303]

You can do it! It's not like you need to know all of those words. The cool thing about Chinese is that most words are just rearrangements of the same ~3000 characters, so it's pretty easy to figure out new vocabulary.

[@alisonlim3300]

William Doran Thank youuu!

[@Cookiesdiefrombehind]

English is also always a rearrangement of 26 different "characters"

[@alisonlim3300]

趙 憲 that's true!

[@crono303]

Well, English has 52 different letters (the capital letters look very different). And the letters are more comparable to the components/radicals of Chinese characters, of which there are far fewer than 3000 (around 200 or so).

[@bbcmotd]

Chinese vocabulary is endless

[@FirstNameLastName-xz4xx]

bbcmotd Thats because they are abusing the number of different meanings the given word can hold. Different meanings are converted into chinese, and they often continue by giving more and more synonyms. If they run out, they try to find the alternative meaning of the same word and convert that into chinese

[@HaraKase]

There are several or many similar vocabularies to describe the basic meanning and in these vocabularies , they means different details or subjects for example : Date Date ( Eng ) -> 日期 = DD/MM/YYYY = 31st March , 2023 ( Chi 1 ) Date ( Eng ) -> 约会 = booking a meet time , and having meet with each other ( Chi 2a ) Date ( Eng ) -> 日历 = a calendar which is write with 12 months informations ( Chi 3 ) Date ( Eng ) -> 日程 = the activities which is planned to start to do in a time ( Chi 4 ) Date ( Eng ) -> 约会对象 = a guy who is dating with ( Chi 2b )

[@syraphic]

How come this video made me question my ethnicity...I can barely think of one word for all of these LOL

[@28924161]

All aboard the "Luke and Olivia" ship.

[@joytotheworldddd]

Matthew Lau oh yes. i can see the chemistry between them 😂🙆🏻

[@Prismaticist]

luke's only lived in china for 8 years but his vocab is that good wtf

[@ThisIsMissCheeky]

Prismaticist his parents are Chinese.

[@Prismaticist]

mine are too, but you can only gain so much conversational vocab from speaking with your parents.

[@ThisIsMissCheeky]

Prismaticist not true, if your parents teach you the language you can become pretty much fluent at it. I was born and raised in the west but I know my mother tongue pretty much perfectly.

[@Prismaticist]

sounds fair. but i can tell that luke's familiarity with the language is extremely high and it would be a rare and impressive case if his parents were able to teach him to this degree. not saying that it isn't possible, however. whatever the case may be, his vocabulary is excellent for any chinese person, nonetheless for someone who only lived in china until they were 8!

[@joytotheworldddd]

Prismaticist his 8 years of chinese is equivalent to over 15 yrs of me speaking chinese... LOL

[@MrKpopSucks]

Interesting video. Now try this with the ABC students and see how well their English/Chinse is.

[@TheViolaBuddy]

Goodness, this is hard. I mean, my Chinese level is pretty terrible, but I generally know, like, maybe three of the Chinese terms they say per English word, even though there're a good dozen or two that show up on screen. But these kinds of word games are super cool; I love to watch these.

[@xinchongcao6758]

love Luke&Olivia!!

[@kylin3197]

Cardcaptor Sakura in Chinese is "Hundred Change Little Sakura"? Interesting lol

[@amy6576]

I think it's Taiwanese or Cantonese translation? I remember the comic I read in Mainland was "Magical Card girl Sakura".

[@Snowshadow1000]

this video was hilarious lol and motivation to study chinese harder >.

[@yanfengliu1496]

I love this video so much

Why did you stop making videos! you were the first channel that motivated me to improve in mandarine!

[@jkbeach2512]

7:15 my gosh that laugh

[@Bananaguy7]

Even though Stanley got tape all over his face, showing he couldn’t think of many translations, his pronunciation is both absolutely perfect and extremely pleasant to listen to. He could be a voice actor, or the practice recording for Chinese lessons!

[@emmaz.202]

Luke超可爱啊啊啊花痴脸 我是你的迷妹～～

[@kellyma2828]

shirleen好漂亮哦～而且性格很温柔平易近人 可爱～

[@lynyun]

This is why I always wonder how can ppl learn Chinese through dramas with eng subs because there's so many words or sayings thay end up with the same meaning

[@RitaC338]

笑咗囉！😂😂

Luke一邊瞎說一邊還在那邊拽也沒人管

[@carlguo9758]

it's more like "English words are so ambiguous" instead of "Chinese has endless vocabulary" so those wanna learn Chinese just go ahead it's easy to understand trust me :D
