I'm not sure it counts as pronounciation difference, but I noticed my Taiwanese friends use a lot more of these endings (forgot if there is a term for them) such as '啦' '咯' '呗' which makes their expression sound more lively to me. maybe you could make a video about these? (if you haven't yet, I only found you yesterday ^^°)

As a Chinese Malaysian, Taiwanese Mandarin sounds much closer to our Mandarin, and I've recently started learning Taiwanese Mandarin to make my Mandarin more complete, it's easier for me tongue and also easier for me to imitate locally without people thinking that I'm weird especially when I tried imitating Beijing Mandarin. In a way, Taiwanese Mandarin is just the nice middle ground, not too thick, nice just nice, it also sounds more intimate, not too strict like the Mainland Northern Mandarin.

Ive lived in Taiwan for a while so I was able to immediately tell the difference. So far in college, I have yet to meet a single Taiwanese person. I also realized that I only speak mandarin with my Taiwanese friends but almost never with my Chinese friends. However, a few days ago, I overheard a table in my dorm restaurant a group of people speaking in the Taiwanese accent, and I was able to recgonize it instantly. Chinese accents also have their own variations. Standard accent is different from the Hong Kong accent.

I started to teach myself Chinese when I was in around middle school and I learned through watching and listening to Taiwanese media/entertainment, so naturally I picked up the Taiwanese accent. However by the end of high school and up through college, I took official Chinese classes where the standard Beijing Mandarin was taught. I've always known there was a difference between accents, but now I speak with a weird mix of the two. I find myself interchanging words or tones and it's super entertaining. I'd say I use a much more mainland accent now just because that's what I'm used to. I hope to move to Taiwan soon so I figured I get familiar with Taiwanese Mandarin again and your videos have been super helpful and fun to watch. Definitely subscribed.

Haha but from North to South in China, the accent is also totally different 🤭. Don't worry in fact about your accent, they are surely a hundred different Chinese accents but Beijing and all the North called the Inner Mongolia (I think) use the standard accent. The south is near Taiwan accent in fact(starting under Shanghai, that is most the middle), if I can say the same ! My family are near from Wenzhou and I can assure you that we speak almost like Taiwanese lol (I think only the change of tones, and the zh, Ch, sh and r are not rolled)

This is excellent. When I was starting to learn mandarin, perhaps for the first 2 years, I was taught by Taiwanese amateur teachers, so i picked up the pronunciations from them. After that later on when I went to China to study, my accent was adjusted to Standard Mandarin (with a bit of Beijing accent). So now I sometimes weird mix of Southern and Northern Chinese! I will try my best to stick to one now!

In South East Asia, where the chinese descents share the same Hokkien origin, people also have pretty much similar pronounciation like Taiwanese that confuse me when I learned Putonghua. We pronounce Zh, Sh, Ch without rolling tongue, only put our lips upfront. Also, here people add many "k" endings sound, which is very related to Hokkien sound like Tak Chek (read book), Pak To (stomach) so you will often hear people pronounce Chik Fan instead of Chi Fan (eat), Xiek Shen instead of Xue Sheng (student). The mixing F and H sound also happen here. Hu Shi (nurse) becomes Fu Shik, Li Hun (divorce) becomes Li Fen (I mostly hear it in Indonesia).

As Grace explained, there are differences in pronunciation as well as accent. There are also differences in our writing. Taiwan uses mandarin Chinese while Mainland china/hongkong uses simplified Chinese which were the subtitle language (and sometimes Cantonese). You learn to recognize similar characters between both languages but I personally think mandarin (traditional) Chinese is prettier. You can search it up!

I stumbled across a Taiwanese movie a day ago and found myself really liking the way their accent sounds. I am an avid Kdrama watcher and also watched some shows from China but I stuck to Kdramas more because of the softer tone in the way they speak their language, so originally I was not going to watch the Taiwanese movie because I thought they had the harsher tone which I didn’t prefer. Now though, after watching the movie, I am very interested in watching more Taiwanese films. I love how they speak😩

Chinese dialects are like playing scrabble. You shake the bag, pull out 7 letters, and there is your dialect. But there are only 26 different letters. Lots of similarities and differences shared, if not between one set of dialects, then between another. The N and L confusion is common in Cantonese as well. If you are studying Japanese, it's fun to try and figure out which dialect or part of China the loanword is based off of. Or whatever ancient version of Chinese used to exist that they followed.

They are both not that different. Either is ok. It's not big difference like a USA accent and British. The difference is more like people from same country with slightly different accent. The only time TW accent is very different and not recommended is if person is very uneducated or has a very sloppy pronunciation, for whatever reason. In general if person has decent education, they will be a good example for you to learn from.

As a Malaysian Chinese who studied simplified mandarin based on China I realized I basically spoke a mixed version between the two and I didn’t even realize that until now cos I never thought much about it,I think I might be more closer to Taiwanese mandarin,perhaps because Malaysia used to used bpmf or the fact our ancestor mostly from the south,or maybe because of the Taiwanese media we’ve been exposed to over the years.

It's because colloquial Taiwanese Mandarin has been heavily influenced by the Hokkien/Fujian dialect of Minnan Chinese and many Chinese people in Singapore and Malaysia come from a Fujianese background as well.

Hi Grace. For the Taiwanese 星期, what about when pronouncing the days of the week in Taiwan? Is 期 also 2nd tone in those cases? 星期一，星期二，etc... Every video I could find on KZfaq has them in the 期 in the first tone in these cases.
@williamlu5298 11 ай бұрын
In the situation you described, we all use 2nd tone in Taiwan. We never speak 期 in first tone in any kind of situation.

Wow this is so mind blowing to me. I’m learning chinese as an american with parents from Taiwan, and I got super confused by “cold” having the pinyin leng3 because I always heard and would say neng3. I even asked my mom is neng3 with an “n” sound or “l” and shes like its “n” I also said “garbage” as le4se4 so its crazy to me that theres no le4se4 in china, its la1ji1

I’ve been learning Mandarin on and off for awhile (but I’ve been studying it in depth in school the past few years.) I always thought Taiwanese sounded a little more relaxed/lazier (not to be mean!) than mandarin-kind of almost like southern accents in the US, some words are different in the south too!

How do you pronounce it in china?, and the difference between china and taiwan pronunciation, if really there is one.... i heard ren 認 always it's in four tone, i'm not quite sure, but shi 識 in china i think it pronounces in fifth tone. instead in taiwan shi 識 i think it pronounces in four tone. is that correct? thank you!

This clip is great. I've been wanting to know the differences. As I'm learning Chinese on my own and prefer the Taiwanese accent (it's not that I have anything against the mainland China accent, no). However, I prefer the Simple writing system as it's easy for me to remember the characters (less strokes). Do you know if there's any online dictionary or translator app that has Taiwanese pronunciation? And how good is Google translation/pronunciation? Does it pronounce with Taiwanese or mainland China accent or neither? Do you or anyone know? And do you normally speak with Taiwanese or mainland China accent? Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.

As a native Mandarin speaker who grew up in Taiwan in the 1970s (been in the US since), I found your video extremely insightful. Also a big compliment to your excellent command of colloquial English. I’m curious how your default pronunciation of q, x, j sounds more like someone from China than Taiwan.

I've heard it too, many times, it seems that 'i' is the almost-always-reduced vowel in mandarin, zhuyin doesn't even write it (是 is writen like sh` in zhuyin), so it can sound like any short vowel, like the french e, as in "je", which sounds like "ju".

is there a difference pronunciation of "血"? My parents always pronounce it like “雪”, but the dictionary always pronounces in the fourth tone.
@cathtychu 3 жыл бұрын
There is, thanks for sharing this example! I can verify it as a Taiwanese. The dictionary you saw with the 4th tone likely reflects the Chinese pronunciation. The reason why there's the 血/雪 difference is due to the fact that Taiwanese people used to speak 70%+ Taiwanese Hokkien and their vernacular habits likely impacted their later acquisition of the "Official Beijing Mandarin" passed down by the Nationalist Party Regime/Authorities (aka 國民黨, referred to as KMT in English acronyms) at the time. The differences is kind of similar to English having American, British, Australian, Canadian, New Zealand.. etc. variations, with different word choices existing in between. However, the exception is that an English speaker would rarely superimpose their version (saying that they have more users/speakers, for example) over another, (since these nations are deemed "independent",) but the special, unrecognized yet interesting status of Taiwan puts us in the most awkward position... in all kinds of ways. I hope that more would realize these contexts and support Taiwan's linguistic uniqueness and independence as we also have other diverse First Nations (13-14 I believe?), while our dominant neighbor is doing what they're doing to "unify" and dominate...

I would like to add two differences to your list. One is fairly well known - there is little erhua (兒化) in Taiwan, do people say, for example, 一點 yìdiǎn rather than yìdiǎ(n)r. The other is only a theory of mine. I think Taiwanese may pronounce -ong with an open o vowel (close to the vowel in hot or a short version of the first vowel in awful, both in British English), whereas in Mainland China the same vowel often sounds more u-like. An example would be 東 'east'. I could be wrong; that's just what I'm hearing.
@ynntari2775 4 жыл бұрын
the ong becoming ung is an influence of yuè chinese, like cantonese, in shouthern China. The words that became "-ong" in mandarin became "-ung" in cantonese, so they tend to export that to mandarin when they speak mandarin. I've also heard that appearently coming from outside yuè-speaking places, so maybe this tendency have spread northwide.
