"thank you" "kamsa- oh" "xiexie" the real multilingual problem 🤣

Honestly loads of people in the comments are saying that Lucas sounds like he isn’t fluent in Cantonese, but actually it’s really hard for people to switch from Mandarin to Cantonese. Cantonese has so many more tones for each letter and Mandarin only has four. He’s also been living in Korea for a long time and his Cantonese is pretty rusty since he hasn’t used it a lot. As a person who was born and raised in Hong Kong, I know exactly how hard it is to be trilingual. So don’t blame Lucas for not being 100% fluent in Cantonese. He’s getting a lot better now anyways. uwu stream ridin’

Tbh after listening to his accent and how he talks with Hendery it's pretty obvious that he's most fluent/comfortable in Canto, he definitely just can't language switch to save his life haha plus he's probably nervous speaking front of a bunch of people so that doesn't help. I can relate though lmao, I'm most comfortable in Canto too but my brain will just sometimes malfunction switching between Canto and Mandarin; poor boy has to juggle those two + korean so it's probably even worse for him

lucas is just a haywired duolingo in human form

I CAN FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

I'm still amazed waahhh.. Jackson and Lucas is in the same neighborhood in fact Jackson probably can walk from his place to Lucas place within a minute and they just knew it when they're talking to each other in keep running😂

Lmao international school HK child vibes

People don’t realize that in these settings he’s not just “switching” from one language to the other, there’s usually ppl talking in a bunch of different languages/dialects, he’s probably reading in different languages while answering questions and trying to come up with thoughtful answers. The brain can only process so much at the same time, add to that being emotional/nervous. If you’re just listening and not participating understanding is a lot easier than being in that situation actively speaking

Really though, I have never seen Lucas talk comfortably in any languages. Is he an alien...

I’m really happy that Lucas has Hendery (and Xiaojun, although Xiaojun is more used to Mandarin) with him I’m WayV, because he’s able to speak Canto with them. If Hendery wasn’t there, Lucas may lose his Cantonese even more

it seems to me that since he reverts to canto when he talks to hendery that he's still most comfortable in canto.. there's no way he went to intl school bc his english is really bad lmao mayb he just struggles which is ok sometimes it b like that. it's possible that his canto got a little less natural sounding bc when he left hk and started training at sm there wasn't anyone to talk to for a while until hendery joined a few years later

"oh thank you kamsa-xie xie" IS SUCH A MOOD LMAOOO

*when you're a Cantonese lad an understand everything he said and start FANGIRLING cuz ur non Korean ass can understand someone for once*

I think lucas is fluent in canto, like im also from hong kong and the way he speaks to hendery really shows how fluent he actually is, its just that when he's nervous (especially when he was newly debuted) or he was speaking another language but has to suddenly switch to canto, he gets confused, it happens to his other languages too haha. but now i think he kinda got the balance so he speaks better canto now (i can relate lol when im speaking english and speak canto again ill use cantoglish hahahahahha

as a cantonese speaker, you all do not understnad how hard cantonese is. There are so much more tones and depending on dialect, the way you speak can make it all sound flat. Canto is really really hard

Yuta making fun of Lucas’s “Can you speak English? Dae” is honestly me every time Lucas speaks because he’s only 30% less confused in Cantonese than he is in any other language and it shows

As a trilingual Cantonese-English-Mandarin speaker... I can’t agree more it’s such an easy language to be lost in....... Btw it’s funny he is using some Mandarin words that nobody uses in Cantonese, it still makes sense but it’s kinda weird XD

Lucas open his mouth: Multilingual problems: "here I come"

Its adorable when Kun was trying to say beef in Canto and Lucas was trying to teach him. Im Canto and tbh sometimes it's difficult to say that word bc you kinda gotta use the back of your throat to say it

That 'DAI LOU' made me feel so at home.

new terr people: ngou hk island people: ou WayV: ou YH: *triggered* ngou

As someone who speaks English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Filipino (along with Rinconada and Bicol-Naga dialect), IT REALLY IS HARD to switch from one language to another. It's like a switch that sometimes, it only lets you continue speaking one language and for you to speak a whole other language, you have to switch the previous off and it takes moments to do so. Other problems for multilingual person is you know how to say one word in one language but completely forget how to say the same word in another language. It's hard. 😭😭😭

hold up i just realised im from the same neighbourhood as jackson and lucas lmao

I wish to hear Lucas and Hendery talk in cantonese more.

people who move overseas often have a really scary time period where they forget their native tongue faster than they learn their new language.. i feel really bad for lucas ;-; hope he's holding up

We need to hear Lucas speaking to his dad then he'll be fluent and comfortable. Nothing like speaking to your parents to bring out your natural speech

i love it when idols speak cantonese because i was born and raised in Hong Kong , and also i relate to lucas , because when i’m home i have to speak a different language, when i’m in school i have to speak a different language, and it’s hard to speak so many languages at a time .

When you can understand Cantonese,it makes it even funnier lol😂

Okay but i’m so happy that he has Hendery now 💜

I grew up speaking Cantonese as my 2nd language and I still fluently speak it with my family on a daily basis, but if I were asked to speak formally and publicly, it is actually very difficult. I think this is Lucas’ struggle in that the bare practice he gets is only conversational and not on a formal level. That why in the first clip he struggles to speak smoothly

3:35 that was really cantonese😂

I think a lot of Lucas’ 2018/19 language problems mostly stemmed from nerves. Now that he’s done more variety promotion and there have been more WayV reality programs and lives, you can tell how good his Mandarin has gotten but you also get to see how Cantonese really is his mother tongue from how easily he slips into speaking it with Hendery and Xiaojun. I don’t know why his accent is the way it is but there’s no doubt he feels most comfortable with Cantonese.

ahhh thank you for compiling this he’s the most adorable when he speaks his mother tongue i love ittttt😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

FYI at 5:22 they were reciting an ad that was everywhere in Hong Kong haha

He sounds like me when I speak Cantonese. I was born with Cantonese parents but went to school that speaks English (I was born and raised in Australia) so originally my parents only knew Cantonese so then my first language was Cantonese. I was able to speak it until I was about 6/7/8 years old. But then my parents also tried to get me to learn Mandarin. So basically I was tackling three languages. But eventually since I go to school and speak English, now I am fluent in English and trash in both Mandarin and Cantonese lol. Now I can only speak basic Cantonese and my accent and tones are all off. Lol.

Everyone saying that Lucas isn’t fluent in any language. That’s completely not true, he’s a native mandarin speaker. He just isn’t good at switching between the languages And he’s nervous

As a halfie raised with Canto, I didn't realize there weren't subtitles in half the video lol

I like every time Lucas speak in Cantonese, feel like more relate to me , Hong Konger let’s work hard , and how the fxxk ppl will think he isn’t fluent in Cantonese? He sounds so fine to me stop making him like he can’t speak any language! His English has been improved a lot if you follow him in super m . Relax ppl

soo glad that finally he got a fellow member who can speak cantonese (hendery and xiaojun) in NCT 😭

0:41 that was mandarin, but I got so confused lol somehow I forgot what that meant.... oh well at least i understand most of the video.

ok also why is nobody talking about how hendery EATS THE SHELL OF THE SHRIMP

"chung lah DAI LOU" HAHAHAHA OMG I CAN'T HAHAHAHAHAA

I'm soft for idols speaking Cantonese and watching this brought back memories lol

A proud Guangzhou kid right here

5:22 i cant stop laughing i used to see this ad all the time on tv and now theyre rephrasing it it's so funny oml

OHMYGOD JUNGWOO’S CANTONESE IS SO GOOD AHHHHHHHHHHHH IM CRYING

Jackson and Lucas vibing to that 打波先嚟落雨 ad sent me- 😭😭😭😭

i’m from singapore & this is my language dilemma: my parents use cantonese when they don’t want my sister & i to know what they’re saying...my sister & i only know english & mandarin. it’s normal in our country for the younger generation not to know dialect. it’s because dialect got banned in our country. (more of discouraged so that the various dialect groups would have a common language & stop fighting..?) i’m not the best at explaining this. my father isn’t even cantonese. his dialect group is teochew. he learnt cantonese because back in his era; hong kong movies were really popular. the dialect ban also didn’t start until the 70s (correct me but i could be wrong) edit: it kickstarted the ‘speak mandarin’ campaign to encourage the chinese to speak mandarin instead of dialects. from what i know, hokkien was used among the chinese & malay was used with other races. apparently, other races picked up hokkien from their chinese friends. anyway, the campaign is still around today but with a new purpose. although the government has successfully gotten rid of dialects in 1 generation, the new problem is that we use english instead of mandarin. i mean, what did they expect? they made english the medium of instruction in school, aka our 1st language. anyway, my father also knows hokkien since the majority of singaporeans are hokkien. my family started off as businessmen & learning dialect helped back in the day. i call myself teochew-cantonese, making me the minority in the majority. i get left out when people make random hokkien jokes but that’s a whole other story. the moment when your parents are linguistically better than you...my parents know both english and mandarin too. edit: i hope i don’t come off as being proud of my inability to speak teochew or cantonese. believe it or not, there was a period of time where speaking mandarin was seen as being of a lower socioeconomic status. that in turn caused the number of english speaking households to increase exponentially. also, our founding father once famously said that dialects were hindering the progress of our country.

im cantonese but im not from hongkong so i dont really know how to speak it or understand it and my dad blames me for it... but after watching lucas, hendery, xiaojun and other kpop idols speak cantonese, i started understanding alot more ehe and thats on kpop

I was so surprised when you put keep running clips as I can finally understand as a chinese thank you

I don’t know Cantonese, so I have no idea how bad his mistakes are, but in his defense it is actually quite normal to start making mistakes in your mother tongue when you are learning 3 other languages and leaving abroad. Saying this from personal experience with 6+ languages.

Thank you so much for this video!! 😂😂😂 I love Lucas’ canto 😭😭😭

I get so excited whenever he speaks Cantonese since it's actually my first language😂 My grandma only understands Cantonese so she really likes Lucas as well haha

oh thank you- kamsa- ((wait no)) xiexie 😭😭😭😭😭

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ he is so cute and funny at same time

一直認為lucas的廣東話帶著口音，但其實還蠻清楚的哇

0:31 I think Lucas is thinking in Korean here, just from what he was trying to say. I think he was going to say 많이 기대해주세요but you have to put something behind 期待in Cantonese so he was flustered. I occasionally have similar problems as him so I think I know what he is thinking about😂😂

2:38 is exactly why everyone thinks Lucas can speak english T-T that "everyone, i teach you how to say beef in cantonese" hits diff T-T

He's so cutee and precious to me❤️❤️and no one can change my mind:') and if you must know, it was he who made me want to finally learn mandarin or cantonese, even though i know it was hard enough, he's trully the love of my life:''💖💖

“你識唔識講英文” 😂😂 Thank u for making this video I really appreciate it ... now I have a video where I understand without subtitles 😅 and this is also y I should learn mandarin 😓 감사합니다 多謝 Thank u!

Lol the way that guy was saying beef sounds a lot like vomit 😂

I grew up speaking Cantonese but I honestly felt that deeply when Lucas was struggling cuz I struggle speaking any Chinese language/dialect

“gayau” ...yes, lucas.

his only 'contribution' is to recommend the video with Lucas 🤣 I met Lucas since boss, baby don't stop!

I don't think his Cantonese is at native level. It sounds more like the Cantonese of someone who went to an international school in Hong Kong. That's the vibe I'm getting.

4:57 me and my classmate really like Mickey Mouse club house even tho we’re like p.6

LMAO wtf he rly just said SPRING ONION BRO and proceed to reveal a stuffed onion under his shirt

ASDFHJJ AS A TRILINGUAL PERSON HIS PROBLEMS ARE SO RELATABLE. 😂

man it hits diff when I can understand what hes saying lol

lucas love hendery the most in wayv but he said he knows he should love eveyone equally

Jungwoo's pronunciation surprised me! Sounds like a native

I miss Lucas so much in NCT💚💚💚

My mother tongue is Cantonese and sometimes my brain can't cooperate with my mouth to speak 😂😂 I can understand but can't speak, probably can if I really tried. I feel like every time I figure out what to say in my head beforehand next second it goes somewhere else. But then I feel like if I was fluent in all Cantonese and Mandarin I would have trouble switching. I was born speaking Cantonese but I'm not really sure if I had trouble transitioning from Cantonese to English I don't remember anything from early elementary school days. As I get older I wish I knew how to speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English without malfunction in the brain.

Jay Park mentioned this in an interview years ago, and thought he was exaggerating. Then saw Jackson struggle to remember a word for a certain dumpling...and it blew my mind. A person really can forget words in their native language after staying in a foreign country for awhile.

I’m so confused as to what language Lucas speaks fluent, cos both his canto and mandarin aren’t fluent

HE’S SO CUTE

finally something i can understand without subtitles😀

Lol he’s very fluent but as a Cantonese child it is funny to see your fav k-pop group teaching each other the language and TrUsTfRaTeD But overall he does speak really good

Come come,, Lucas,, i will teach u Cantonese 😍🤣🤣

Lucas is more fluent in canto than most of my family 😂

I think the issue is he's flipping between Canto, Mando, Korean, English in his head

I CAN FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING NOW

Damn it feels so good to understand for once

When hendery went 'cong la dai lou'😂

Imagine if he can also speak Thai and English fluently that's gonna be 🔥🔥....but 2 language is already hard you know, so I'm proud on how he studied so hard and practicing to improve it.

It fucks my mind too when I have to speak 3 languages in one occasion 😭😭😭

呜呜呜超喜欢Jason Lucas之间的互动😊

Finally, something I can somewhat understand!!

why is he just merely eating but being so handsome i am really not understanding him ughhh why is he so cuuteeeee

Always coming back to this video cus myself being a multilingual asian speaking 4 languages(french is also but I barely passed it in school so not considering 🤣) I can relate to him on a whole other level😭 honestly even if Cantonese is his mother tongue making mistakes like this is veryy common I swear like I myself have problems with my mother tongue and often use 3 languages in one sentence while talking to my mom😂 and plus using formal speech and tone is very different. And the way he switches alongwith tone and accent is actually not bad like he sounds okay, considering Mandarin and Cantonese have different tones he's fine,and his Korean has also improved a lot from before, anyways we know his English accent is the best😂

i love how gayau literally means add oil

thank you for this video :(

YES CANTONESE SPEAKERS WYA

Omggg Jungwoo's canto at 1:30 was so good!!

Oh my god So cute

final painkiller LUCAS

"thank you" "kamsa- oh" "Xie Xie" was so relatable! XD I speak so much english at work that I sometimes can't find a word in german anymore during a normal conversation. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be surrounded by 4 languages in one conversation every single day. Also: I am so happy that Xiaojun and Hendery are also cantonese and able to speak with each other in their mother tongue because if I would have been in a country where I would have only been able to speak in my second language for such a long time like they all were- I would be sooo happy to meet people who speak my language! That would totally be my comfort friends!

😂 NGL I actually understand his pain, being more fluent in English and not speaking Cantonese for so long can be difficult at the start

HES SO RELATABLE AS A TRILINGUAL ( canto, mandarin and eng) my brain stops functioning whenever i hv to switch between languages
