İ love it! Btw, the distinction between him and her in the written language is something relatively recent in Mandarin. Originally there's no difference between 他 and 她 . But Chinese intellectuals looked up to the Occident and decided that Chinese should also have the distinction in the written language. Anyway, my point is it's no wonder that him & her have the same form in other Chinese languages, because the gender distinction is a recent phenomenon.

This video was very sweet and touched me on a personal level. My mother grew up speaking Hakka and my dad grew up in Dong Guan (as mentioned by Mimi at 0:41) but we only spoke Cantonese at home. When my mom and the other yee yees (aunties) didn't want the children knowing what was going on or they needed to talk about adult stuff they'd switch to Hakka, especially when they were speaking to my grandparents. It wasn't spoken enough for me and my cousins to pick it up but it was definitely an "alien" language to us but I did recognize a lot of the words and even understood some like you did just by the Cantonese association. I showed my mom your video and asked if she could understand this Hakka (in the past I had shown her another video that said it was 'Hakka' and she couldn't understand a word but I didn't know at the time there were different variants of Hakka) and she gave a kind of devilish smile/laugh like "😏🤭 of course". Thank you Brittany and Mimi! :D

If I'm not mistaken, the Hakka/Yue/Min variants spoken in Maoming (western Guangdong) all also exhibit those weird hl sounds. It's not really as simple as Hakka is like this, Yue is like that, etc. There's a lot of variation within these languages families that are sometimes more similar with other language families than amongst themselves.

As someone who understand Taishanese, I did far worse than you, Brittany. I am surprised at how much Hakka I did pick up, but it's probably a tad less than my Mandarin abilities. It probably helped that Mimi spoke slower than what I normally hear from the grannies down the street where it's barely comprehensible to me.

So, I could more or less understand alittle of what you said, plus I can speak some cantonese too which also helps. Now even my wife is a hakka but unfortunately, I can't understand her version of hakka that much as her hakka is from a different part of China. Never knew there are so many variations of hakka.

I watched both your Toishanese and Hakka comparing videos. As a native Cantonese speak, I could understand 70~80% of Toishanese and 40~50%of the Hakka. I'm learning Hokkien now, it's so different from these 3 languages. But Hokkien also has some words sound the same as Cantonese, like "講". Thank you so much for making these videos, I was always curious about how different/similar they are.

Nope, some words MAY sound the same in all the Chinese dialect. However, if you’re able to understand both Mandarin and Cantonese, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be able to understand Hakka. What you’re understanding are words that are pronounced the same, like water. Word like ‘gold’ is pronounced entirely different in all three dialects.

Super fascinating & super fun!! I grew up speaking Cantonese and had many Hakka neighbors when I was young. But I didn't understand them at all when they spoke. I am shock I understand a lot of what the guest's Hakka now decades later. Don't know what has changed. Perhaps having heard other Chinese dialects and other languages helps. I have had Malaysian, Vietnamese, Greek & Indian friends & roommates. I heard them speak their mother tongues a lot. I also heard them speak English with their respective accents. I also now speak mandarin & have been exposed to Hokkien a little. Living in the states I have been exposed to Louisiana accent (believe me some people had such thick accent I couldn't understand them at all when i first moved there), Texas accent & midwest accent while hearing mostly British accent when young, I have been made more aware of differences and similarities among languages and dialects. May be all that helps.

I can very well understood Hakka and Cantonese very well. For me Hakka is a twisted sounding from Cantonese yet the word arrangement is very near to mandarin. But now days Hakka is no more widely spoken by the Chinese decent from Malaysia as the Mandarin becomes the dominant language for everyday use. Spoken Hakka in other people's ears seems not classy enough where only small town and village would speak it. Not only for Hakka suffers from this changes even Cantonese and Hokkien plus small Chinese dialect group suffers from Mandarin onslaught too.
