Why is tea called tea? - Intermediate Mandarin (HSK4/5)

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

Subtitles in Chinese, Pinyin, and English are available in closed captions. But always try to watch it first WITHOUT the subs. Any other topics about tea that you are interested in? Let me know!

[@ronald-ep2yx]

Not quite about tea...but I've heard that nobody in China drinks decaffeinated coffee. Is that true?

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

@@ronald-ep2yx Coffee is still relatively a new trend - it only became super popular in the past 2, 3 years. It's very hard to find decaf in China in my experience. But I think there should be a market for it lol

[@naomiz8800]

This was absolutely brilliant - both for the Mandarin and for the history. Please do more such videos!

[@laura5037]

As someone stuck in intermediate Chinese, I loved it! Everything was spoken so clearly and the gestures and pictures helped so much. Keep up with your good work please! 非常谢谢老师！

[@AnnieShire]

Only two minutes in and I already know I have found a new favorite Chinese teacher. Thank you for the clear explanations and for bringing this lesson alive! 😊 #languagenerds

[@kekajotaele]

Very very interesting! I am looking forward to know more about tea… Especially interesting is the reason why in Portugal they say cha and in Spain we say té, even though we are physically very close together…. By the way, your spanish pronunciation was very good 😉

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

谢谢！I’m trying to improve my Spanish😆

[@inju0610]

The way you explain everything is so calming. You are so interesting storyteller. Thank you for your work!

[@ericlanning4418]

Very Interesting! Love Etymological content as well as Historical content. Nicely Presented as usual!

[@tendzinrabtye]

You put in a lot of effort on this assignment. I hope you are rewarded. Thank you for your effort. Where were you forty years ago when I started learning Chinese?

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

I’m here now😆 And glad that you are here!

[@TalsonHacks]

Very interesting topic, and explained in easy Mandarin. Thank you!!

[@ishta192]

Hi, I'm Dutch (荷兰人）. I'm almost ready to start reading stories at the intermediate level. This is the first time I watched a video at this level and I was surprised how much I did understand. 😊 One remark about how to pronounce the Dutch word 'thee': It sounds similar to the English sound 'tay'. If I understood correctly the Taiwanese word is or was 'tě'.(?) So I guess that's where the Dutch word came from. I will certainly keep following this channel.👍👍👍

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

Thank you for the info! I knew my pronunciation was probably off, and I blame google translate for that😆

[@Tom-en9tc]

I'm from the Netherlands and the tê sounds very similar to how we pronounce "thee" even closer than "tea". Such a great episode, thank you for all the effort!

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

Thank you! I know I probably butchered some languages along the way😆

[@ericloo6576]

Tea came from Hokkien (Minnan) Chinese pronunciation of Teh. Malay called tea as teh.

[@heatherhafer3333]

I absolutely love this! Your method is fabulous and brillant and all-encompassing!

[@FrédéricPERNE]

谢谢您拍摄了这部视频。不仅它的内容非常有意思，而且您说的速度和您用的词汇很适合我的水平。对我来说，另一个好外是：虽然您会说英语，但是这里没说英语，只说汉语。我不会说英语😢😊，从开始学中文我发现了汉语老师用英语很多！

[@halnicholas3791]

非常好的视频！我喜欢你把历史、地理和语言结合起来的方式。真的很棒！谢谢

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

谢谢你！我很开心听你这样说:)

[@christianpapp7716]

谢谢你老师！我最近在LinQ找到这个视频 - 非常有意思！ 我喜欢怎么你用图片和手势的方式。请你做更多HSK4/5的视频！

[@John-yx6yz]

太好了，增加知识还多学汉语， 非常有趣！谢谢老师。

[@mightymads2406]

Thank you so much for your videos! Such a great exercise in listening. Very interesting content and easy to understand ❤👍👍

[@yorgunkaptaan]

This is very beautiful. I was looking for the source of the character and came across this video. Even though I am new to Chinese (Hsk 1 level), it was very helpful. Thanks a lot! Especially your body language is very helpful. Indeed I don't know the source of radicals at the bottom. The top one means plant. If anyone knows the others, much thanks!

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

This could potentially be a video idea! Let me see if I can make it a fu video

[@Alltherage9496]

Really great content as usual. 謝謝!

[@kivikey]

另一個原始地，緬甸，叫 La hpat。除了泡茶喝，還將茶葉醃製後做成沙拉吃。

[@matt_brooks-green]

Great video! I knew the story about 福建 but I'd never heard about the Portuguese pronunciation before!

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

Thank you! I subscribed to your channel recently from the Dreaming Spanish video. Big fan of DS and love your content!

这可能是我最喜欢的你的视频😊

[@ThomasTalksTea]

这个视频太棒了！毫不奇怪，我支持制作更多有关茶的视频的想法。😏🍵🍃

[@KawtherBenayed]

谢谢老师 ， 淡然我们想看关于茶的视频， 我觉得茶的这个话题很有一色

[@xuexizhongwen]

Interestingly, the word "cha" (from Portuguese via Cantonese) actually appeared in English early than the word "tea" (from Dutch via Min). Both were in use for a short period of time before "cha" fell out of use.

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

Very interesting. Good to know!

[@sungjunoh8793]

your clip is good to learn Chinese!!

[@Gobikepacking]

Great jobbbbbbbb !!!!

[@misscidella]

I was told an emperor probably in the Han dynasty was sitting under a tea drinking his daily water and he liked it he started instructing his servants to put leaves in his hot water and it started spreading and people developed other methods too

[@toledo980]

Thank you very much, ur videos are amazing. I always wondered why in portuguese it is called cha

[@ToumiDouaa-d4j]

Everyone who is reading my comment...know that this is the best mandarin chinese teacher EVER !!!!! ❤

[@jonysoares150]

Jun老师，我的最喜欢老师 。❤ 葡萄牙语巴西的，我们也说 ”chá“。

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

我的chá的发音怎么样？😂

[@OlmoLungring]

@@Stickynote.Chinese 你的发音很正确！我也是巴西人，但住在日本。茶道在这里仍然很盛行。

[@jonysoares150]

@@Stickynote.Chinese , 哈哈！😅 你很可爱。 我的茶，发音听起来茶 "8:53seg" 你的视频，什么时候你说 "它叫做 chá" 。 你的发音超正确。

[@mrhasans]

Keep making more please. Requesting for word pop-up in screen for difficult words with meaning.

[@cheikhenzo6244]

你说得非常清楚

[@NoName-un9fk]

老师好！ 我是荷兰人🇳🇱，很想让大家知道我们的发音不是“ti”(tea)而是“tei”(thee), 跟法语的thé很相同。 其实德文的Tee也有这个发音！ 看来英文的tea是个另外，并不标准！ 谢谢您做这样的视频，我现在订阅了❤

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

谢谢你分享！我听了google的发音，还是错了😅我觉得荷兰语的发音好难

[@steveb932]

Agree. Great explanation and entertaining for learning at this level. I like reading and listening to more cultural and current thinking than watching some of the drama programs

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

谢谢！

[@stephanejourdren3668]

Hen you yisi..ni feichang congming❤

[@xuexizhongwen]

6:26 Just curious why 音 sounds like fourth tone to me here. Am I hearing that wrong?

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

It’s more like a shortened neutral tone here when I ended the sentence fast.

[@argos.languages]

Hopefully Chá made into Portuguese as Chá. It's one word that will not have to learn.

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

😂😂😂

[@M-if2hg]

Thanks so much for the history lesson. Very interesting. I loved this!

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

我真的不确定。。。我觉得是中国？😆不过这可以是一个好的视频题目！

[@mochi-n7h]

在印尼语里，茶叫 TEH

[@Stickynote.Chinese]

有意思！那茶是在海上从福建到的印尼

[@Kazooieandbanjo]

你是喝茶的人还是喝咖啡的人？
