Welcome back! This video is a little bit different. We're going to be taking... a Chinese exam. That's right. - Yeah. - We are meant to be able to speak Chinese Mandarin. But you know, growing up in Australia, mate, our Chinese is not the best. I went to Chinese school a little bit back in the day 'cause I was forced to. I was forced to, but I rebelled. - Aw, man. - But now I regret that I rebelled. As you shall see very soon on this Chinese test! - "China test..." - No? What is it? - You said "China test." - Oh sorry, sorry. So we have a grade 1 exam. Like, grade 1, primary school! - How old is that? 6 years? - Yeah. Dude, you guys are crazy. I already know I'm gonna get destroyed. If you're gonna get destroyed, I shouldn't even try. Oh, by the way, this is traditional Chinese 'cause that's what we grew up learning. - *sighs* - So if it was simplified, it would be even harder for us. Ha... - I just realised I haven't done an exam for so long. - I know. Oh, no cheating. Brett: Okay, no cheating. I mean... Eddy: Oh crap! What the f- What the f***! Brett: Yo, I don't know how to write that. - I know how to do "zuò." It's like "do." - I'm sorry. But I don't think that- Oh! Actually I remember! I remember! - Oh, dude! - Brett: I'm so- Eddy: The memories are coming back! "Yùn ní." Google: "Yòng ní." "Ní" is "you" right? Obviously. No, that's "nǐ." Nah, I don't care. I don't know it. S**t. Crap! "Bā." "Bā." "Zuò." Zuò! ZUÒ! Do you know what "ní bā" is? Ní bā... Nah. I think "ní bā" is like mud? "Yòng ní bā." - Yò- That's- How is this grade 1?! - Yeah, I don't know. AHHH! Eddy: S**t. I forgot which way the thing goes. Eddy: To the right or to the left? Eddy: S***. Dude, I don't know how to write this. Brett: Oh, I...I can do that. Brett: Easy! Sh... - Oh, I remember. - I know if I see it. Eddy: Dude! I still remember. P! P! Oh, you're faster than me! What the hell? WA HA HA! I'm just kinda... Just fluking it. So grateful for my mum sending me to Chinese school. - Dude, grade 1, I'm learning... - I'm so ungrateful for my rebellion. Eddy: Ha ha ha! Oh... Oh! Multiple choice! Yeah, it's like a... What is it, like a homonym? Oh s***! Oh! This is tricky! What are we supposed to do with it? So the... The first one, you have to do the... Like the... You know the radical, right? Like, the radical "a single person." Oh, we gotta break it up? Yeah. - WHAT!? - I think so. I think that's what the radical means, right? Then what do you write in the second part? Uh, just make a phrase with the word. I didn't know what else to write. I don't know if that's a legit phrase, bro. You just said "come eat me." - Alright, I guess it technically makes sense. - But I don't know any other word. *snickers* I guess so. Huh? Eddy: What is this? Nah, that's wrong, bro! Eddy: That is not a f***ing thing! Brett: I don't know what this word means. What is it? "Dòng" is like a hole. Oh, dòng! - Oh, "dòng," like "hole," yeah! - Eddy: Yeah. Yeah. - "Hole down down." - I don't know the last word. It was... Nah. Dude, that's so trippy! Guys, this is why Chinese is so hard. Eddy: The same word has like different pronunciation. Yī. Yì. Yí. You need perfect pitch to speak Chinese. Oh! The "yī-yí-yǐ-yì?" Yeah, you gotta get the right intonation. Oh! S***! Yī, yí, yǐ, yì. Yí. Oh, I got this, man. Brett: Bring it! Oh, "qián-" I know. Perfect. I know this one for sure. “Wò wò.” Ha ha ha ha! What the heck? Guys, does a rooster go "wò wò," Or "huā lā huā lā," or "sōu sōu sōu?" "Dāng dāng dāng" or "líng líng líng?" Wò wò wò! That sounds like a dog. - Is it number 6? I'm here now. - I know. Wò-wò! It does sound like a dog. Does it go "wò wò?" - That's what I'm trying to figure out. - "Huā lā huā lā!" Or "sōu sōu sōu?" Or "dāng dāng dāng?" - Dude, it's "huā lā huā lā." - Eddy: Or "líng líng líng?" Huā lā huā lā! Ffff! Huā lā huā lā! That's what I thought, but then the other ones start not matching up. Apparently, the wind goes "sōu sōu sōu." I didn't make the rules, bro. Eddy: "Huā lā huā lā" is rain. Brett: Then what's- Then the rain is not "sōu sōu sōu." - It's "huā lā huā lā." - Yeah. Oh my god. Okay. Eddy: Apparently... - Asians think roosters go "wò wò!" - Brett: Yeah! Wò wò! Wò wò! WÒ WÒ...! - Eddy: "Dāng dāng dāng, ㄈ." Oh nice! - Brett: Dāng dāng dāng! - Eddy: And "líng líng líng." - Brett: Liáng liáng- líng. Brett: Yeah! What am I supposed to say next? What? Just write the same s****? Yeah, you gotta come up with your own. Yeah, you can. Brett: Let's go! I'm done! Oh, by the way, guys, check out the new T-shirt. You guys already know! It's bubble tea. *sips* It's like Boba-chan, but on a T-shirt. Oh my god! Oh, noice! I remember that one! Yeah! Oh dude, that's legit! - What? - You're actually writing it correctly. Brett: Which one? - Eddy: All the- or like, the one I'm looking at. - Brett: Yeah. Dude, I'm impressed. Yeah! Damn! Oh, it's so hard to just conjure the word! Oh! Nah, nah, nah, nah. Yeah! I'm done! Nice! - Like walk... walk. - Older brother can walk- Oh, "Go to!" - Brett: No, "go to" is like this. - Eddy: Yeah. Tsk! Nice. That's dodgy writing, but nice. Nice, that's right. I wrote... Nice. - Ay! - Ay! Nice! - Brett: Wow... - Hey, you passed though. - Is that pass? - Yeah. I'm officially grade 2! - Yeah! Let's go! - Woo! Alright, there you go.
