Uhh no we avoid and don’t speak the china chinese version, some of them are more similar to Taiwan’s and a mix of our local vocabs. Def no one says 奶酪 here or 自行車 or 土豆.

@@Kath7120 I know. That's why I said it's weird. As one learn Chinese from other regions, one came to realise that they mixed and matched between each other. I'm not saying they are a copy. Just saying that they, sometimes, match in the terminology or in some expressions. Also, Chinese, any Chinese, varies so much depends on the region that I find it normal that in some household they said some things that the next one don't.

Tru dat tho

@@Kath7120 Right?! Like there's Chinese and then there's Chinese-Chinese 😅 Examples: 🐵 and 🍓

Yup very different

I hate taiwan

I only know 沙比

i feel like our chinese is more towards china side

We say Bian dang too. He fan and Bian dang are different. Bian Dang is from bento, they are the prettier ones

@@ArianaLee7890 I think Chinese mainland started saying bian dang after it became popular in modern culture. In TW, we had been saying it ever since Japanese occupied TW, so lots of our words have a lot of Japanese twist or influence.

@@philho.youtubeI thought many Japanese words also have a Chinese twist or influence

@@cSedx00022 Japanese borrowed tons of Chinese in the same way English is filled with Latin and French loanwords. In recent centuries, however, Japanese used Chinese characters to create new words to translate western concepts, and these Japanese-made Chinese words were exported back to China, making their way into modern Chinese vocabulary.

It’s the same dialect (the variation of mandarin spoken in the urban area of Beijing) with slightly different vocabularies, and the majority of Taiwanese people speak it with an accent (Hokkien and Hakka influence). It’s similar to how the standard variation of the Korean language in North and South Korea are both based on the Seoul/Gyeonggi-do dialect - just with slightly different vocabularies.

國語的確是北京方言

Mandarin is a language with different dialects, and what is displayed here is not even the difference between dialects, but difference between two versions of standard Mandarin. There are other Chinese languages that are not dialects of Mandarin, such as Hokkienese (spoken mostly in Fujian and Taiwan), Wu (spoken in Shanghai and adjacent regions), Cantonese, etc. Even though they are sometimes categorized as "dialects", they are really independent languages that are mutually unintelligible with Mandarin and with each other.

Chinese is split by language groups then dialects within those and then local dialects within that.......there's about 7 to 10 language groups with mandarin being 63% or so

Mandarin is a language branch of the Sinitic language family, so it has lots of dialects. Cantonese, Wu and Jin language are actually different languages by linguistic definition

Great examples! We say that in Singapore too! 😅 We also call our wet market 巴剎 and pay money as 复钱 , which is unheard of in taiwan and china.

Yea I was thinking 水平 is more like “level”

傅臻彥 Jarish yea

Nonetheless no one says 水平 in Taiwan, if it's the level of your language for example, Taiwanese people say 程度 (degree), while 水準 is like standard of living (生活水準)

Interesting! Start a channel and try a few vids.

I thought its used differently? Like depending on grammar, or smthg. 你的中文水平/水准好低。 你的中文说的好标准。 Idk, I'm like from Singapore.

Do you study simplified Chinese or traditional Chinese？The Chinese language in Taiwan does have some different vocabulary from the Chinese language in our mainland.

I’m confused cause I use both vocabularies depends whether I wanna sound formal or not, and I’m born n raised Chinese,起司 脚踏车 水准 etc ist just more formal

And also the most accurate translate for Standard is neither, it’s 标准， 水准and水平all had different meanings. Shuǐ zhǔn typically refers to a water standard or criterion, while "shuǐ píng" can mean water level or water standard. In the context of "standard" as a general concept, "标准" is the most accurate translation. So know I doubt their proficiency in Chinese 😂, and their English

@@maxmy2007 If your definition for “Chinese” is “modern standard mandarin/ mandarin”, then of course most of them don’t speak that language since it is not their mother tongue nor heritage language. ( modern standard mandarin was originated from the regional language that spoken in Beijing ) But if your definition for “Chinese” included different varieties of sinitic languages that spoken in East Asia, Then Sorry, Chinese descendants in Indonesia do speak Chinese ( or Sinitic languages ), but the varieties of sinitic languages / Chinese languages they speak is Hokkien, Teochew, Hakka, Cantonese ,Henghwa etc. ***just In case someone wanna argue that those are merely “dialects” not language : please study more about the definition of “dialect” and “language” in Social and Historical linguistic, instead of defined it based on your limited knowledge toward that certain topic.

nobody says 炒米饭 instead of 炒飯

no one says 炒米飯，泡麵and塞車are also used quite a lot，but i guess 方便麵and 堵車are more common in china （especially堵車）.

well the original two characters for 垃圾 were 擸𢶍（pronounced as là sà in mandarin). in the early 20th century，the educated from regions near the yang-tse-kiang would replace 擸𢶍 with 垃圾，as both of these characters are pronounced as leh seh in their dialects. later，some northerners wouldn't know how to pronounce it，so they just pronounce it according to how it looks like，thus，垃圾became lā jī

I think dialects also plays apart. Mandarain was secondary . And only started to roll out nore recently compared to the 闽南话 bought over from mainland chia when ppl starting moving over

most of the vocab is very similar and interchangable, but writing in traditional chinese(aka taiwanese) is much much more complex

识 shi4 vs shi2.

Both are used in mainland
