[SugarKatie]

i can't believe watching a white guy speak cantonese can be so funny!

[alancwwong]

[weixuzhao]

[nosranro]

[idontknowlollll]

[yiker]

便便!!

[CH8444]

識唔識中文 !! Ha Ha !! XD

[amandahoic]

In Cantonese, the pronunciation of 了≠鳥. 了 is Liu; while 鳥 is Niu. It's just that people are having lazy-tongue and make use of 鳥 intentionally :P

[TaakLuung]

thumps up 4 chengman! :D

[Rc1023]

@TaakLuung No. and its Thumbs*

[TaakLuung]

@Rc1023 don't care ;)

[Rc1023]

@TaakLuung Stfu you honger.

[TaakLuung]

[timtsang1]

憤怒了=憤怒鳥XDXD

[halfacig]

Is that Hear It Speak It guy's name Jimmy?

[daredevil335619]

Yeah I am Cantonese and I never heard of this word, I even asked my mom and dad and they dont know.

[cubicbox]

@daredevil335619 have you ever gone on to some hk forums? they often say sth like 我憤怒鳥, or other phrases ending up with the word 鳥replacing了.

your mom and dad wouldn't probably know about that word cuz it's some kind of new 潮語, like 'hea', 'O咀', '火羅(lor)' etc.

[roxysupporter]

im full chinese and i have never heard that before

[chocobean]

[MichelleLam1015]

[dustyn00b]

it looks like hes about to take a shit

[VermisM]

Just as a question, why would you choose to learn cantonese over mandarin? It seems really hard to learn canto and most people in HK speak mandarin as well...

[stormcorrosion]

@VermisM It's much cooler!

[Gwendapanda]

my friends use this all the time

[lisa89]

I haven't heard this before.

The one I have heard is apparently 'bird' (Or something similar sounding) can be slang for penis. So a guy would offer to a girl if she wanted to play his Angry bird game.

Or maybe that was just me...

[mepath]

@lisa89 I don't think so, maybe to "screw" because the last character 了 is pronounced "liu" and is very close to "diu".

[tcbillyleung]

Oh get over it people - I like your HK accent, dropping the N for L ;)

[kimilykim1]

I think is fen nou niu??

not liu for bird

[townscend]

@kimilykim1 you're right, and carlos made a mistake.

[Furryletters]

More accurately, the pronunciation is closer to fan nou niu, not "lou liu".

[missfanning]

ur red face looks funny. is tht a hk person there?

[WIN232]

1:17 吹到話電話有問題!!! XD

[Cantonese2638]

怒=nou

[nicol3mii]

[JuhnLuk]

@Thatdammjenn He never said it was common

[MakeableDESIGNS]

@Thatdammjenn Actualy I have never heard of it.

[dabbiewong]

@Thatdammjenn 佢教既係潮語唔係常用語

[mo0nph0ebe]

@Thatdammjenn

This is the slang mostly popular for young guys

May be just you're not

[Pachyderm3]

@mo0nph0ebe

Can't agree more....

[mo0nph0ebe]

@Pachyderm3

I'm speaking for young dudes who speak Cantonese

LOL

[t84064033]

WOOAH HEATY ! CHENGMAN!

[hong2siumui]

上唔到網呀白痴XD

[chineseswordsman]

20万年！痴线！

[giegiema]

@carlosdouh, lol....u don't understand my chinglish? I mean your pronounciation of ''cho B ba bai (嘈B巴閉) is wrong, you should pronounce it like ''cho huen ba bai'' ( 嘈喧巴閉). And actually ''two hundred thousand years'' you pronounced as ''twenty-night-year''! But I believe we all love the way you pronounce!

[GundamKenny]

hahaha,idiot!!

[claraloh]

this is cute, my daughter (7 yo) loves this so much! thanks for the video!

[spore637]

It's "Fan5 nou6 niu5", not "liu5"

[CrazyBarang]

@giegiema What does that mean?

[tanj19]

@CrazyBarang It's pretty much a saying you would use to express your annoyance at someone or something when they're being really loud and obnoxious.

[CrazyBarang]

@tanj19 Doh-jay!

[Toushirou23]

Chengmann!!

[imkayfull]

[shingerE]

OMG IT'S CHENGMAN!!!! YOU KNOW HIM?!

[NAOKOCHU]

Should be shamed if a foreign guy says this to u LOL

[neometalx9]

@NAOKOCHU i was using beijing mandarin accent when i was in guangzhou, the lady that took my order in a restaurant said "it seems you are struggling with mandarin, do you want me to speak english", felt pretty much insulted that someone with a shitty cantonese mandarin accent told me that lol..

[B0l0joe]

@neometalx9 that's pretty funny..

[curseknight5]

[2011tingting]

上網...上網.....XD

[Bloodlovefreak]

You own a twilight book? Unforgivable!

[doriosity]

I feel like he's getting really sloppy with his pronunciation.

[shazbots]

Question: I looked up the pronunciations of 了(liu5) and 鳥(niu5); they're "technically" not supposed to be pronounced exactly the same, correct?

[cookiegurl2]

@shazbots in cantonese, a little off doesn't make a difference. in mandarian, it does.

[CheeKabroz]

@shazbots I think in Cantonese, L and N are interchanged sometimes like 'nei' vs 'lei' for 你, so 'liu' into 'niu' is acceptable.

[nobodyfantasy]

@shazbots pronouncing "L" instead of "N" is what we call "a lazy tone", but it's totally acceptable as this is the most common case of lazy tones. Not many people would say "niu" these days anyway.

[JiangLawson]

@shazbots yup, but usually hong kong people don't mind the exact pronunciation since they think this's funnier than using 了(liu5).

[jason950216]

@shazbots Just like nike and like. They are not the same. In Hong Kong Chinese Speaking exams, you are required to speak the L sound and N sound differently.

[MusicholicV]

@shazbots i guess people pronounce it the same way now pretty much, because it is not necessary to define "niu" and "liu", people will get it either way when you're communicating, like native canto speakers mostly wouldn't mind their pronunciation much, they would be able to identify "niu" and "liu" by simply looking at the whole phrase or sentence. But as for a cantonese learner, it would be the best for you to notice the difference :)

[Elied87]

@shazbots it seems to be kind of hong kong cantonese. They often change "n" into "l" as in 你好 nei5 hou2.

It's the opposite as some parts of Guangdong in which they change "l" into "n" so they will pronounce 道理 instead of dou6 lei5 they will pronounce dou6 nei5.

[kinorion]

@shazbots 你認真,你就輸鳥!

[kiyoko0369]

@shazbots They just sound similar xD

[tasuki78]

@shazbots Pronounciation in cantonese and mandarin are different even though they are both chinese. Carlos is correct in cantonese, both of these are pronounced the same. In mandarin, they are different.

[freshjiv3]

chengman wtf

[AliennTong]

... face turn red... "便便~~"

[kAYu106]

好似柯屎XD

[ko9991]

嘈b巴閉

[izurite]

@ko9991 好可愛既中文,不過認真黎講,話人既話最好係嘈[亂涓切]巴閉

[nobodyfantasy]

@izurite it's "嘈喧巴閉" where "喧" is pronounced as "冤".

[dreamxpaili]

hahah i'm a fluent cantonese speaker and i can't really imagine anybody using this phrase hahaha it's not a very common phrase to use...

[lemonlovestea]

@dreamxpaili true~ i only see people use it on the internet:D

[satio8888]

boss!

[Kimchi4Korea]

LOOL when u said its so loud u said it so weird! but good job!

[kenny32500]

[killermy3]

2:02!!!!! BOOOO??? WAT IS HE SAYING!! LOL XD

[iexcalibui2]

dam finally a new video

[qwerty11302]

LOL chengman is inside....xD

[angel2lee]

1st thing I heard "fan lou" part instantly think of headache / stress / or direct translate... "annoyed brain"

[nobodyfantasy]

@angel2lee It's not really pronounced as "fan" but rather like "fun". So it really should be "Fun Low Niu" (where "Liu" is also acceptable).

[angel2lee]

@nobodyfantasy that's exactly how I read "fan" when talking in pin yin. I'm not using english to pronounce it.

[nobodyfantasy]

@angel2lee Then the words which means "stress" is different than "angry", it's "faan" rather "fan". So when you say "stress" in Cantonese, you say "fan low" in English, and when you say "angry" in Cantonese, you say "fun low" in English.

[ryuuseiSoul]

are you a little out of practice, carlos? your last blurb about the 200k years was really off tone =/
