    fascinating how similar Chinese grammar is to English, i’ve been realising this recently and it’s surprised me greatly

    • @andrefialho851 says:

      I don’t think the grammar is similar at all. It’s just that Japanese uses Chineses characters, so it’s somewhat easy to understand a written sentence.

    • @RobMartin-gz3zk says:

      ​@@andrefialho851I think it’s pretty similar, the sentence order is almost the exact same. The main difference is not having conjugations in Chinese imo

    • @AnnaBrown99 says:

      Chinese grammar is easy, the tone and character that make it super hard

  • @llunavermella_bloodmoon says:

    I guess it’s like an Italian reading Portuguese?

    • @tupocbsher says:

      No, Japanese and Chinese are two completely different languages, but Japanese has some chinese characters

    • @juliannickermann9492 says:

      Yeah, but the Statement was that a japanese Person trying to ready Chinese ist Like an italian trying to ready Portugese, definitly possible since they are similar but hard since some words are Just different. @@tupocbsher

      @@juliannickermann9492No. Notice how he is reading this in English? If he tried reading this in Japanese, it would be impossible because several of these words do not exist in Japanese and therefore don’t even have a way of being pronounced. Italian and Portuguese are similar languages, whereas Chinese (Mandarin) and Japanese are unrelated languages which share a similar writing system.

    • @CanariasCanariass says:

      Japanese and Chinese are completely different languages, unlike Italian and Portuguese which share same roots.

    • @pogliot338 says:

      Not really. The symbols by themselves mean something, but the words in each language are totally different.

    you should do this with maltese and arabic (tunisian dialect or lebanese dialect)

  • @Hong_Kong_Ghosts says:

    As a Chinese learner I find this fascinating. I could read the sentence easily enough, but found it surprising Japanese have such trouble between the two clauses. None of them seem to get the meaning for 自己 which seems to be why they had so much trouble. Thanks for doing this segment, helps me stay focused on studying while doom scrolling 😂
