Can Chinese Write Their Own Language? | ASIAN BOSS

你们的套路其实就和美国人上街拉路人问地图上的国家一样，把字写出来的人是不会被你们剪辑进去的，而且你专门问的是已经上班的人，为什么不挑小学生和初中生来问？你找个六年级立马就给你写出来

This is hilarious. Even though I still like the language, and looking for Chinese friends . 🇸🇦🇨🇳

조사유 충격적 과거

Mao wanted to switch to Pinyin but Stalin talked him out of it. Now, the Chinese have a blind spot about it. It would save a lot of time for young people and they could have more babies. Maybe learn to swim and play a sport.

I wish you had shown the characters they had written.

This video has blown me away. I've grown up watching Asian movies in Chinese all my life. You see them writing all the time. Even In the cartoon Mulan you see her writing, I just figured it was a natural thing like it is in America. In America 90% of our communication is in our writing. We write things down all the time. We not only write things down in our notebooks like numbers for counting money and keeping books, to journaling hours a day. We write things down for businesses and recreational use. I would say I spend about an average of at least 2 hours a day writing things. Either on the computer or with a ball point pen. Then if you add my journaling and calligraphy on top of that I can spend up wards of 8 hours a day writing at any given day. To randomly go on the streets of China and ask people to write something for you and they can't do an adequate job is baffling to me. I agree 100% with the technology statement. People spend more time on their phones and computers anymore that it sucks up every second of their day. And like the other guy said its also generational. The younger generation doesn't see the point because they value technology over things as easy as writing. This is incredible. Its because technology writes the characters for them and if you don't study your own language your communications skills lack like the one girl said when she forgot the characters so she had to choose a different word. If you spent even 20 minutes a day studying letters and writing characters especially in school then it would help you in every day situations.

。。为什么专门挑一些难笔画又多的词语

为什么专门挑一些笔画多又难的词呢，中国人大部分汉字都会写😅

With no offense, i found interesting when the guy i assume from Taiwan answered these questions. The former one question is "do you think there's a difference between traditional character and simplified character". The guy said the traditional character is more than just a symbol but contains lots of cultural meaning(than simplified character), which i agree with him. But the point is!!! the guy finished his words with a mysterious smile!🤣 He then already has shown his preference through his expression. Later on, the question is "do you think that there are some people who can still write the traditional character". This time, he answered "i write traditional character better comparatively". This time he chose his words very carefully,🤣 all because the interview was taking in China.🤣

Stupid writing system

Knowing how to write chinese characters and how to read it are two different things. When I did my mothertongue exams in singapore they allowed us to bring approved e-dictionaries or paper-back dictionaries into the exam. Most of the time we would know how to write words that are frequently used every sentence like 我、的、和。Other than those words, we might find it hard to correctly write the word and hence the use of the approved dictionaries.

If Chinese have a hard time remembering simplified characters, you can imagine the struggles of Taiwanese and people using traditional characters.

this might be a video with ulterior motives

Terrible translation of the subtitles.

这视频是棒子做的吧，为了证明棒子语言有多优越。这些字都是特意挑的，它们在日常生活中用的很少，笔画又多，确实一时半会写不出来。但你说中国人不会写字，你搞笑吧。国民不会写字怎么可能维持这么复杂的社会组织？

Wo ai ni 🙋‍♂️😄❤️

Imagine you're trying to write cantonese: Mission impossible

As a Hong konger…

I am defo not fluent at Cantonese

I am so ashamed :)

This video shows that phonetic writing systems (alphabets and similar) are much more practical than hieroglyphs.

I escaped from my country to a land where words are spelled exactly because…

Ahh never mind.

I learn Chinese by myself and I don't really pay attention to writing. I mean, I like to write in chinese, it helps me to memorize symbols visually. But I know that it wouldn't be useful. The fact is sad actually, but I can't really change anything. Even if I struggle with writing every symbol properly, I will lost the skill, cuz I don't need it.

it makes me think - how often do i write english -- and how bad my writing has become due to lack of practice and increasing short sightedness with age. i guess phonetic spelling is always a work around.... English is difficult cause of all the special cases since its a mish mash of other languages, though since i read a lot f translated xianxia and line in london i'm pretty tolerant to unusual useage ---- my sister who lives in non english speaking country has a very low tolerance to accents now, and forgets many english words.

This is ridiculous. Why is there 80,000 characters? And there's no way to infer what the meaning of each character is? Just by looking at the way it's drawn. Each character has its own unique meaning that you need to memorize to know there's 80,000 of it and you need 3000 to 5000 to learn the basic communication in China. Look at this video. Even the native speakers cannot actually like write their own language. This is ridiculous

In my opinion there could be "alphabet strokes" based keyboard. Its maybe less effective than writing sounds but it will need only qbout 24 strokes

As a Chinese, I feel ashamed that I can only correctly write two of the four words when looking at the pictures. I type too much in pinyin and write too little in my daily life.

如果是二十年前，手机还没有普及的时候，这些测试应该都不难。现在的中国人大多数已经很久很久没有提笔写字了，我自己也一样，每次使用纸笔写字的时候都觉得好痛苦。

its whitey or nothin'

This is why they have a blank page movement 😅

Chinese people must be really smart because they can memorize thousands of characters.
Chinese people must be really dumb because who puts up memorizing thousands of characters?

(BTW, I'm Chinese American, went to nine years of Saturday morning Chinese school, and might be able to talk with a first grader in Mandarin.)

I will reply in Chinese，汉字是一门很意思的文字，它不像表音文字，汉字更具有包容性和创造性。对于大多数人来说，常用汉字很少，2000-3000 个基本就满足了，为什么这么说，因为汉字的词汇是有汉字组成的，比如汉字“山”是“mountain”，汉字“羊”是“sheep”，词汇“山羊”是“Goat”。所以当你看见词汇“山羊”由汉字“山”和“羊”组成，很容易记忆和理解。而如果是英文，你需要记忆的词汇太多了，尤其是涉及专业领域的词汇。汉字的发音也很有意思，汉字是单音节发音，所以只要发音准确很容易让他理解。还有汉字的语法非常简单，高效。

I think Chinese specker have to create a new simple writing system and keep chinese character just a calture

Gosh if Korean is hard this is harder

都是文盲嗎 這都不會？但凡讀過書的上面所有指示的單詞都應該會

I'm from India and I want to learn Chinese but now I understood that writing is not that important. You just need to recognize the character.

Laughable language, laughable characters! 😂

Wow, this made me feel better as a native English speaker about my efforts to learn Mandarin :)

They can speak Chinese , look & think like chinese . 4 me That is more than enough proof of them being chinese instead of testing that they know how to write " toothpaste " in chinese 😅

严肃地说 记不住汉字是因为打字时间太多代替了写字 这不是个好现象 作为中国人都记不得一些普通汉字如猥琐，牙膏等怎么写而要上网查

chinese primary students always need to do this challenge at class😂,they called it 听写

heart warming

if native speakers struggle like this I can't even hope to try learning it 💀

Chinese don’t have logic. How people can see the writing and read them out loud? I don’t get it 😂

作为中国的高中学生，我也不会写嚏，尽管要写的时候好几次都去查字典，但这字的结构完全记不住，幸好考试不考😂

Interviewer : "writes it in classic"
......

I'm guilty.... 10 years of mandatory Chinese lessons. I'm still struggling on finding vocabulary in speaking, and we rely on computer and phone's auto-correct.

嚏字我也写不出来，现在少有手写字的机会，缺少练习自然就会忘记了，就像中学里学过的数理化知识基本也忘光了

Well if people in China with simplified kanji find it hard, spare a thought for those in Taiwan and Hong Kong who use the traditional characters . Having had to learn kanji for Japanese and now Chinese, with the use of computers and other electronic devices to write,I find I can recognise kanji without being able to write them by hand. I think it must be the same for native Chinese and Japanese speakers. For example the kanji for police “警察” is the same in both languages. I can recognise but cannot write them.

While the. Japanese Roman letter system is well standardised and excellent, I find Pinyin difficult and confusing.
