Also, Chinese, any Chinese, varies so much depends on the region that I find it normal that in some household they said some things that the next one don't.

Mandarin is a language with different dialects, and what is displayed here is not even the difference between dialects, but difference between two versions of standard Mandarin. There are other Chinese languages that are not dialects of Mandarin, such as Hokkienese (spoken mostly in Fujian and Taiwan), Wu (spoken in Shanghai and adjacent regions), Cantonese, etc. Even though they are sometimes categorized as "dialects", they are really independent languages that are mutually unintelligible with Mandarin and with each other.

I usually say the word "standard" in Chinese as "标准 (biāozhǔn)." 水平 (Shuǐpíng) usually is referring to someone's level, as in their status level in society or it can even refer to a person's level of education background. When I hear people say a person has a low "水平(shuǐpíng)," they're usually referring to that person has a low IQ or lack of proper education/mannerism. That's just how I interpret it from observing other people's daily usage, though.

It's similar...and I am from Taiwan too.

I studied Mandarin in university and they taught me everything with a northern accent so when I met my Taiwanese husband and heard him say 牛肉 I was so confused. The lack of the hard "R" sound and it being replaced by an "L" sound was baffling a bit. I now speak Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent since that's all I hear from my in laws, hubby, and kids now lol

I didnt know its a tw/cn thing though. I just thought chinese just has variations. N i just realise my chinese is closer to tw... when im frm sg.. half the time i have not heard the cn version. Tats interesting. Do more of these vids!

Exactly it’s more like a southern/northern Chinese thing.

How difficult would it be for me to visit some chinese dialect spoken countries with just standard mandarin? There are so many dialects idk what to learn. I specifically want to visit Taiwan but i cant find as much on hokkien as i can standard mandarin. The language is hard enough now there all these dialects in learning about from the comments lmbo.😅

I am conflicted because when I speak Mandarin for cheese I say Qi sī but with potato I say Tu doù 😭

起司isn‘t necessarily taiwanese，so you are not conflicted. not every one from china/taiwan/or where else you are from uses the same words，it is very normal

When your parents are from each of Taiwan and China so you learned both of the different words:

I’m a dumb American. I just know enough spanish to get the gist of conversations and know a little French 😂

Im British but learning Mandarin its easier than i thought but still so difficult

Good choice in relationship decision ❤ But as far as I'm concerned, both pronunciation and words are both China's Taiwan vs China's mainland and both are just from different parts of China

Shuizhun水准and shuiping水平 are actually having different meaning. And used differently.

水准 is simplified Chinese for 水準 and 水平 does mean standard sometimes ex:生活水平(Standard of living) while in Taiwan we say 生活水準
