Now you’re trying to convince me Vietnamese works better than English with the latin alphabet because English loans words from similar languages? Vietnamese vocabulary has over 60% Chinese loan words. You have to translate those first into viet (what’s your point about pronunciation, it’s the...

Aggression is one thing but the ability to back it is another. The Japanese were some of the most aggressive people, they ate 2 nukes and now look at them. Afghans are a warrior people, but their country is destroyed, they won’t be a threat to anyone for the next 50 years. Russia on the other...

Sneaky snake, you’re obviously option c.

Because the Western Europeans are worse. If they unify power in Europe and America, the colored people will have to live under their boot for another 400 years.

Because it’s a paradox. One country doesn’t have election but the policies are meeting the people’s needs. The other country has elections but none of the policies promised are kept. One country if the policies fail the government is directly responsible. The other country if policies fail it’s...

Depends how far the Americans push. Taiwan independence is the redline. China has sent troops into Korea and Vietnam to fight the Americans before. Each country sets their own redlines, but each also has to be aware of their own abilities to call the bluff. Patience is a virtue in this aspect.

You gotta be pretty dumb to let your enemies put missiles on your boarders and not do anything about it. Russia didn’t show Ukraine any open hostility until the US sponsored coup happened. The ethnic Russians being targeted, joining nato and stationing troops in Ukraine. But sure Russia should...

Give me a break, there’s a massacre Xinjiang going on while the boarder is open for thousands of muslims from Pakistan and Kazakhstan to do business every day. Either China must be stupid for allowing that or these muslims must be blind or you’re full of crap.

Cantonese actually has 9 tones. English has no tones and it works way better than Vietnamese with the Latin alphabets. Nan Yue was a Chinese state. The lands used to be inhabited by tribes called the hundred yue (that was the name the Chinese gave them, we don’t know what they called themselves)...

Yeah, now I know how poor your Chinese is. You do know words like 好好 exists right? You do understand how root words work right? Root words are modified with other words to create new meanings. The meaning can be the complete opposite depending on what the modifying words are. I gave a closer...

You realize every Chinese character is different in that video. That why phonetic alphabets are a poor fit for tonal languages. Vietnamese is really ugly trying to make Latin work. 越 by itself means to go beyond or cross over something. To surpass is 超越, wishful thinking on your part but not...

I never refuted that Han Chinese got their name from the Han Dynasty. A part of the reason why it was chosen to represent the dynasty was because of the meaning it carried. If it meant dwarf I doubt the character would have been chosen. You’re just making stuff up at this point.

What is the meaning of Viet? That’s the sound you guys make but what does it mean. Its in the name of your country, you should know what it means.

It shows how confusing Vietnamese is, it all looks the same. So you have 6 available tones for the word han, I doubt there’s only 6 words in the Vietnamese language that have the same sound. For Vietnamese no I don’t understand, you have a ton of word with similar spelling I have a hard time...

Wikipedia as your source, you don’t know Chinese aside from google translate and you’re trying to explain a word you can’t even read. That is too funny. Han doesn’t mean specifically Chinese men, but the word is chosen to represent the Chinese ethnicity because of its meaning. Do you know what 越...

Trying to translate Chinese words to English where there’s no equivalent is not easy. The word roughly means a man that is manlier and tough in nature, there is no direct translation in English. That’s the problem with using someone else’s language to represent yours isn’t it. And no I didn’t...

漢 it’s literal meaning is a tough/manly man. It’s the root word to many other word. When combined with 族 or 朝 it becomes han ethnic or han dynasty, you can reason why the Chinese chose Han to represent themselves. But the literal meaning of 漢 by itself means a tough manly man. This is what I’m...

It’s was obviously a color revolution, for all the people that witness the Arab spring. You gotta be pretty dumb to fall for the same thing again today.

Never said anything about pronunciation, the meaning of your root words derived from Chinese characters. That’s what I’m saying you always need context to know the meaning of your words. You can’t just have 1 singular word by itself and be clear on what it means. Practical that’s one way of...

Doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong, it just is. Where do you think Vietnamese got those features from. 60% of Vietnamese vocabulary is sino-viet. Chinese constructs new words the same way to differentiate similar sounding words. The problem is when you break words down to their simplest...
