My mother tongue: Teochew (潮州話）

[huangwencong]

hey! nice to see this video here! 我也是潮州人, 我來自印尼 :D

[wolfymilk]

i understand but i speak vietnamese teochew so some words you say are hard for me to understand

[ilovejapan234]

I speak cantonese...and I was so confused XD i only understood the 大家好 at the beginning...

[NancyChia16]

I can understand your teochew but I speak Malaysian teochew with my sisters, I am now living in London.

[loki2504]

@NancyChia16 Nice ! I would like to listen to Malaysian Teochew, sounds very cool !

[ihateKP7]

My grandparents also speak Teochew but they never spoke it to my family -since my bro and I speak Khmer only :( My cousins' family who live with my grandparents can speak Teochew too.

[Shiritori]

your teochew is easy to understand! i've listened to some teochew broadcasts from hk and the accents are a bit difficult. anyway, this video is 3 years old but i hope your appendicitis (i think) cleared up well :)

[loki2504]

@Shiritori Thanks for messaging ! yup !my appendicities cleared up without any problem !

[jthavisay]

@Shiritori Hi. Random question: Can you help me translate something in Teochew. This is kinda my last resort. Please and thank you!

"uah seang ga lu da euh"

[Shiritori]

@jthavisay hmm ok i'm not very good with peng'im but my guess is that it means "i like teaching you how to talk?"

[Shiritori]

@jthavisay WAIT NEVERMIND. it most likely means "i like talking to you"

[jthavisayRose]

@Shiritori Yes. That's what it means. I found out shortly after. I really appreciate the fast reply. =) Many thanks

[jthavisayRose]

@jthavisay Hey,thanks for the fast reply! =) You're awesome.

[halflifeempathy]

At 5:44 did you just cuss? LOL My parents used to say it allll the time.

[loki2504]

@halflifeempathy cuss????

[halflifeempathy]

@loki2504 cuss = swear

[loki2504]

@loki2504 hahahahahaha yeaaaah ! =)

[lilpipsqueakxd]

I'm full teochew...and i can barely understand this... that makes me sad. :(

[zllikevin]

i am half cantonese and half teochew-laang. Unfortunately, i nearly forgot how to speak teochew after my grandpa and grandma go back to their hometowns.

[MC520812]

一句都聽不懂！好像是東南亞的語言。

[Freidemo]

潮州話好好聽~

[HateYuTube]

Ughhh not being able to understand this is so frustrating!! It's my family dialect, but I can't understand anything :( I really want to learn.

[budiku87]

Nice to meet you all..im from indonesia..tio ciu nang, ka ki nang!!!

[greenanchors]

My Teochew sounds so whitewashed. But I can understand everything you're saying so0o0o0o0o preeeeetty alright :D

[adsempermagnus]

i finally know what my dialect is called in english

[xoindierockerxo]

omg this is crazy. i'm just sitting here listening to this...and it makes me proud to be able to speak this dialect :)

[MrAssholeTan98]

[kixxiya]

[vislandque]

I am Teochew too :) Don't meet a lot of others who speak our mother tongue!

[Y4h4h4]

Woah, I met someone that speak teochew like me ! I am from Indonesia. There're a lot of people who can speak teochew from Pontianak too :D Nice to meet you xD

[loki2504]

@Y4h4h4 Nice to meet you ! Hello from Europe !!!

[SheGiRl]

Ahhh! It's so refreshing to hear someone else other than my family speak teochew.

[loki2504]

@SheGiRl Thanks ! Could you do a video response in Teochew someday ?

[sosongheng]

I'm from cambodia too ,I can understand what he was talking about ,we are like a big family ,teocheow nang !

[Dj2FrEsHz]

MY MOM GREW UP IN CAMBODIA TOO(: TEOCHEW NANG REPRESENTING!

[Timx4]

Wa tiah boh, My teochew is malaysian. hokkien- teowchew fussion

[SFMSEVENTS]

You speak my language~^^ Although, I speak Malaysian Teochew. It's pretty much the same, just that some of the pronunciations are slightly different. =)

[AhoshiLambo]

I understood...partly. Which is really sad.

I should pay attention to my parents more often.

[mahtoeshurt]

have you check out gaginang.org?

[MrJFine77]

Damn,smh u suck...

[DaeSayuki]

*sigh* if native Teo Chew people sound like this... I am so FOB! *sigh*

[FlushingBoyNY]

lol at 1:56 that shit sounds ridiculous like somebody choking a fucking chicken

[agaetisbyrjun86]

Thanks so much for posting this. I can't say how pleased I was to find it. I hope you keep posting more! (Also, glad to hear your procedure went well.)

[3Milk]

my teochew is so bad.. i had to pay attn to listen to this ;( sad.

[youngdragoon]

Suprisingly there are a lot of Teochew people around the world but unfortunately the language is being forgotten by the younger generation as they mainly speak the native language of the country they live in. I wonder how many people understood what you said.

[iBiteCows]

I can understand you. My parents are from cambodia but my grandma moved to cambodia from china because there weren't enough jobs in china, You were talking about your stomach problems right? LOL

[KnightxxArrow]

@iBiteCows My parents are from Cambodia too, and they speak teochew too.

[Purpletulipful]

Hi Loli2504, I rarely understand your story. I have forgotten most of teochew, my father's language because long time I haven't use it.

Can you translate to English?

Thank you so much.

[LisaEatsPie]

It's nice to know that someone else speaks this language other than me. LOL.

[FATUGLYPRICK]

Dude, although your accent is slightly different, your teochew is very good.

[boksila]

cool! my mom is teochew born in srok khmer too! my mom speaks it but since my dad doesn't, i can only speak khmer but not teochew. really wish i had learned though because my cousins speak only teochew and french and i can't understand it. can you make teochew lessons?!

[onghoanglong1988]

i m vietnamese teochew ^^

[HongPham666666]

Hi,

[misskitty008]

[itsmejeannette]

omigot... my dad speaks Teochew! XD

[Artharrex123]

I hear some cantonese words in there,

[Princess8228]

@Artharrex123 some of the words are close to cantonese...but only a little bit.

[bonnielilas]

Wow, u sound very fluent! but people who don't know what is teochew, the dialect, will also not be able to understand what you are talking about. subtitle?

[azngirl828]

I hope you're feeling better.....

Lol I talk the same way but with a little bit of American accent.

I wish I could speak the old school fast talking teochew. Haha

[IceTJaM2]

Ahah ! Mec tu maitraises

[loki2504]

@IceTJaM2 Un tout grand merci !

[bakpengtan]

which type of teochew u speak? shantou, puning, rao ping???

[loki2504]

@bakpengtan Since my mum grew up in Cambodia, we speak the cambodian style hahaha

[WoAiNiAishiteru]

@bakpengtan My mom did too! I speak teochew and mandarin, but I'm losing both pretty fast :(

[WoAiNiAishiteru]

@WoAiNiAishiteru I meant for my comment to be at loki2504....idk why it went to someone else :(

[Raymasaki]

@loki2504 thanks for the video the best way to learn is by Hearing it.

so its a dialect of kmer?

i would have guessed it was Thai ( NO insult intended)

i speak English, Advanced Japanese, study Mandarin, cantonese & some others

[taingso]

@loki2504 hey my family speaks cambodian and teochew too !!!!

[PelamCorp]

I love Teochew !! Group on Facebook! Please Join us

[LTXayl]

Oh man, I wish I could speak teochew like you. I used to be fluent, kind of when I was young like 3 or 4. But because of english in school I've lost it. All I can do now is understand a little bit of the things I always hear my parents say to each other and to me.

[arumake]

I wish I could speak Teochew as good as you. I'm better than my mother and the rest of the family but it's the limit I can practice :(

[CHINDEEHUA]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS TEOCHEW ! LOL

[Drakaanaan]

Your teochew is way better than mine lol. I understand you but I wouldn't be able to tell a story like you did here.

[sawalau]

i cannot hear clearly much of the words =[

[melowana]

I only can understand random words because my family mixes their teochew with English and Chinese so now I can't speak Teochew and Chinese properly._. 

[ohsuperstar]

holy shieeeeee I'm so proud of myself cos I could understand what you were saying. this is my mothertongue aswell but fahhhh, it's so hard to actually speak it :/

[cucumberguy]

Can you make videos teaching Teochew??

[Rebyakuya]

Moi je suis teochew j'habite en Belgique :)

[waicheng2]

It's so weird hearing a non-family member speak teochew! But after a minute or two of listening to you it sounds so normal. This makes me really start speaking more frequently. I don't think I could go through a story without saying "uh" a million times. Thanks for sharing. =)

[Shiritori]

leu ho? haha, trying to brush up on my teochiu everyday since i end up mixing it with english when i speak to my mom :( this vid is helping me.

[joshnghiem]

Hokkien, Teochew, Hainan, and Taiwanese sound so similar.. any relations?

[bremneshatten]

I guess you call me a Chindian nowadays, but mum is Teochew. Our Teochew is different because up to 2 generations ago, the family were largely based in Bangkok for business reasons. So the family lived there between 1872 and 1931. Our accent is different from yours. Can only pick up a few words here and there, but then I am out of practice not living in Spore anymore

[Knight522]

woot Teochew <3

[CherryMikoo]

I'm Teochew too! :D naise.

[plumbumpoisoning]

Are you French?

[ThePushyCat]

Listen to you saying Teochew makes me remind me of my late Grandma. :'( I miss her.

[aznboy88]

It sounds a LOT like Taiwanese, haha... except with some similarity to Cantonese.

[UncleBobIsAngry]

Your camera is really good. The video and audio is fantastic. By the way im not Chinese my friend is and I am pleasently surprised to know that its such an interesting language. Sounds a bit like Thai.

[giselle0000006]

I can understand you. It's also my native language.

[lexxypexxy]

I dont know a word of teochew, but I'm watching this so I can have a better understanding of my friends/acquaintances who speak this language.

[Envoy81]

I speak Teochew but like the comment below me, my speaking sucks. I wish there were some schools to learn this (if anyone knows where to learn this please comment back).

Where do you live? You speak so fluently...

[angryazngirl]

You should make more videos in Teochew! I didn't get to actively learn it when I was younger so I can understand it but my speaking is bad. There aren't that many resources for learning Teochew and on top of that I really want to learn the Vietnam/Cambodia accent specifically.

[xlilxevex]

You Speak my language <3

[loki2504]

@xlilxevex Hi there ! Do you have skype? I would love to speak teochew with sb else than my family haha

[9arn]

my grandfather is teochew.... but I don't speak.

happy to see it

[hellofourteenk]

你从小就在国外，潮州话好怪！

[dreamer316]

Surprising I understood about 90% of this video! Yay!

[209boi]

How about lessons?

[anhysan]

I'm so excited I found this! My native language is Teochew, but I haven't spoken it in so long since I've begun college, I've only been speaking english so I'm losing it really fast! (This is also happening to my Vietnamese) I'm going to listen to this and try to retain as much of my language as possible!

[loki2504]

@anhysan That's cool ! I really don't speak teochew when I go out haha I just speak it at home because I have no teochew friends... I do have a lot of Vietnamese friends but I don't speak their language yet so we communicate in french haha

[derlau]

nice

[bahbleu]

PS I hope you feel better.

[flashatizer]

Nice! I feel like I can understand some of the things you say... Does it relate to Mandarin or Cantonese?

[loki2504]

@flashatizer Well grammar is the same but pronunciation is completely different !

[snekieboy]

TEO CHEW FTW.. haha i understood brooo

[200560076]

Hallo! Wa si eng ni (Indonesia) nang! I can understand most of your speech. I'm happy can meet another overseas Tio Ciu Nang!

[zeedx12]

I am THAI I understand what you say. I am also Teochew nan 我们都是自己人 我爸妈是潮阳也是潮州人

[khmerpreah401]

I'm Khmer people should not be confused by the term Cambodian and Khmer! Khmer is an ethnic and Cambodian is a nationality!

[ChezZ1962]

Hi I'm from germany and my parents came from vietnam i can like understand u 80% and even though other teochew ppl( the few i met in my life) told me im good at teochew, i have to admit ur one is even better.....its really good to hear from other teochew ppl......

we should start a community^^

[Miwa006]

Hello ~~ I understood everything you said in this video and it was very exciting :) My parents are from Vietnam and so the accent is slightly different, but I still understand your story. Anyways, I'm glad your surgeries went well and hope you're feeling better ~ (:

[Shredu]

BTW: "Guten Tag! Ich möchte dir bei deinem Fremdsprachenlernen helfen!" is somehow wrong. It should be: "Guten Tag! Ich möchte dir beim Lernen von Fremdsprachen helfen!"

[loki2504]

@Shredu Danke schön! Mein Deutsch ist begrenst ich habe dass nicht viel studiert weil ich lerne gern exotischen Sprachen !

[Shredu]

I'm from Switzerland, my parents are Chinese/Cambodian though. I still can understand you haha although me and cousin, we use to have a different dialect than yours, you really sound like my father ^^

Cheers!

[ang3licpinkgurl]

:O .

I speak teochew and cambodian and I can understand uou like 99%.

Maybe its because I live in the US and my teochew is horrible. ):

[missrocknrockstaaa]

@ang3licpinkgurl its not because you live in the US, its because his Teochew and our (Cambodian/Chinese) Teochew accents are different but its the same language, just different accents :)

[tanbenjamin1019]

where you from? you speak good Teochew! :)

[honeymonkeyy]

I'm exchanging in Bangkok, and find most of the Chinese descendants speak Teochew, but I only speak Mandarin and some Cantonese, I can only communicate with them in Thai(my poor Thai ><), what a pity! I'm gonna learn some Teochew

[flameman223]

Really admire Teochew, My father side is Teochew but I never got to learn it. I did learn a bit of Hakka though.

[Mrnoom171]

[jesusoneway1225]

[babychaau]

haha im half teochew and half canto but i speak more teochew! great to see that there's more teochew people out there since there's barely any teochew people in my area. mainly mainlanders and cantonse people.

[xDisRazyboix]

@babychaau same here in the CA area. Not too many people I know speak the language, I rarely speak the language outside and mostly at home.

[reket1990]

Wow, your vocab is a lot different from mine, haha. You use words I don't normally use... :)

[twentynothing]

cooooool

[davekha]

Wow, scary. "eat more fibre" it is! Melb ABC

[davekha]

Wow, scary. "Eat more fibre" it is!

[khonkhuang]

Nice try, although some of the pronounciation sounds weird.

It's really great, anyway! Support you!!! Make more video =)

By the way, where do you from? You are Australian or from somewhere else?

Oh ya, the word 'accent' is pronounced as 'kio' in Indonesia =)

[ravensplayer]

le ow ge lang a baw

[lockingislife]

HAHAHAHA im not sure exactlywhat you said but something about taking medicine and going to the doctors O_O nice

[kelgnaik]

cool! im a hardcore teochew nationalist... shame how most teochews dont speak this beautiful language anymore...

[yellowbanana104]

@kelgnaik yea and i m one of those teochews. i hope to learn it some day, but nobody can teach me.

[kelgnaik]

@yellowbanana104

i really dont wanna see this language die off... would be a tragic loss... hey u could always look up the World Wide Web... :)

[buckweed226]

i speak toechew too. I like ur accent

[singy1980]

The way you speak teochew is very cute! Hope you will continue to speak it!

[wugui77]

It's not "wo", it is "wa".

[Kyo896]

Super! J'ai bien tout compris. Ca fait plaisir. Il faut préserver ce dialecte. On est pour la plupart issue de parents ayant traverser la guerre du Cambodge.

[Mrtigerboy90]

@Kyo896 : je suis Cambodgien chinois!

[mynameismarvin]

have you heard someone speaking Amoy? i speak amoy as my mother tongue and i can understand many terms but i don't understand the full meaning of what you just said haha

[linmuxi]

salut le ho! You sound understand chinese language very well.

I can understand you but your accent is a bit different indeed. I don't even know what my accent is...but also different from china's diojiu we.

Please continue with more monologs in diojiu we.
