opper567 Posted March 3, 2008 at 03:27 AM Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 at 03:27 AM Does Dashan speak cantonese? I saw this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VHVQOiIvK8 and now I am curious as to whether or not he really speaks cantonese or if it is dubbed over or something.

calibre2001 Posted March 3, 2008 at 09:29 AM Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 at 09:29 AM It's his voice but his pronounciation is weird. So I don't think he speaks it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 3, 2008 at 12:41 PM Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 at 12:41 PM That is very awful cantonese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWWLiu Posted March 3, 2008 at 05:44 PM Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 at 05:44 PM Are you talking about 「大山」？ I just came across his name today. Who is he? (Sorry, I didn't check the YouTube video.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWWLiu Posted March 4, 2008 at 02:06 AM Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 at 02:06 AM Thanks for the link to Canadian「大山」in China, imron. I find it interesting that on the index page of http://www.dashan.com/ the seal shows his name going from right to left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 4, 2008 at 05:09 AM Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 at 05:09 AM the seal shows his name going from right to left. which is the old way of writing chinese horizontally and commomly seen in seals etc (my own also goes from right to left).

Quest Posted March 5, 2008 at 02:43 AM Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 at 02:43 AM Is that even Cantonese? He said Hookduck, some other dialect without the "f" sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugi Posted March 5, 2008 at 04:21 AM Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 at 04:21 AM Looks dubbed to me - another foreigner's voiceover? I hear "f" though (perhaps not in the first instance, but certainly thereafter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted March 5, 2008 at 04:52 AM Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 at 04:52 AM I dunno, it definitely sounds like his voice, and if you're going to dub it, why not dub it with someone who can speak the language well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeafreak Posted March 5, 2008 at 04:48 PM Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 at 04:48 PM I think he says something about his Cantonese here: Too bad I couldn't understand anything he was saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted March 6, 2008 at 12:27 AM Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 at 12:27 AM I think he says something about his Cantonese here: He says he can understand 20%, and that's enough for him. After listening to him repeatedly, I decoded his message: 点解要揸福特，因为福特汽车係为咗令你与加拿大生活更贴近而打造。福特汽车通过加拿大酷寒气候同埋严峻地形嘅测试，而且不断推出创新车款，满足驾驶人嘅需求。宜家就同我一起游览，发现福特所为你准备嘅一切。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott-chen Posted September 23, 2008 at 04:08 AM Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 at 04:08 AM I only speak Mandarin, but I think it do sound like Cantonese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
