Learn Chinese in 5 minutes! (say them out loud)
1.That’s not right(Sum Ting Wong)
2.See me ASAP(Kum Hia Nao)
3.Small horse(Tai Ni Po Ni) 4.You need a facelift(Chin tu fat) 5.I thought you were on a diet(Wai Yu Mun Ching) 6 Cleaning the car(Wa Shing Ka) 8.This is a tow away zone(No Pah King)
I’m hungry (Tain Li Chow)
Start over (Fang Un Fun Unfang)
Oriental teenager (Sum Yun Guy)
LOL!! I reeeally laughed out loud, thanks crazybrit and apushatayid.
are you hiding a fitigue (don’t know how to spell it) = Ho Yu Hi Ding
i know some more but forgot them!!!!
Crazybrit I don’t get #2
and apushatayid I don’t get the 1st one and the 2nd one. Can you please explain?
I think these jokes are racist in nature, sorry.
there is an actual kosher restaurant called:”Tain Li Chow”
Racism can be against any culture black,chinese,swedish
crazybrit
?? is to give with a Tav not a Tet (Tes)
The Goq
These arent racist jokes, as the above posters arent making fun of Chinese people, but rather their language. Its still “begeder” good-natured fun until it becomes about Chinese people and their stereotypes.
There is a Kosher Chinese restaurant in London with the fantastic name of Met Su Yan
There is a place in Brooklyn called Sushi Mitushi.
It’s not kosher and anyway Jewish people wouldn’t want such sushi.
Wiy so making fun of a language is not making fun of that people? i think you are wrong.
Crooked Businessman (So Su Mi)
The Goq
Making fun of people or their accent is racist. Making fun of a language isn’t racist. When making fun of the language like in the above jokes the humor is impersonal and harmless. Listen you can disagree but if you look over the above jokes they are very innocent and I don’t see why anyone would feel insulted by them. Again we aren’t making fun of Chinese people.
Google the word racist and see if the definition fits your belief.
Will someone please explain the meaning of “Fang Un Fun Unfang”
I have seen a restaurant called Suun Fat – not for dieters.
How about these:
Be quiet – Wai Yu Toh-King
Oh my – Ho Lee Kow
I was in an accident – Ding Mai Ka
Having fun with a langage is the safest fun you can have as your not making fun of anyone!!!
sorry Goq your way off on this one!!
Imma 613: its Yiddish it means start from the beginning.
Why is a chineese phone book so complicated?
There are so many ‘Wing Wongs’, you might WING THE WONG NUMBER!!
So now you make fun of their language tomorrow you will say that they all are bad drivers why start down this path? If people would make jokes with the hebrew language you would not take offense?
If it is not racist it is certainly insensitive.
i see no reason to take offense at any of the above jokes. no one is being made fun of
however this one you can take offense at:
Q: Who told you that?
A: Sum Dum Goi
I hate explaining jokes.
“Fang Un Fun Unfang” Think yiddish instead of english.
Imma613 it is translated in the above post. It means start at the beginning. It just sounds a little chinese. The other phrazes are also translated. Check out the Favorite Yiddish Words thread for some more great sounding words!
How about what Haman’s friends and relatives said (Hung Wung gai)
Pretty good indeed… and harmless…
Personally I like imitating various accents. In English my French, German and Italian accents are quite good and in Ivrit, I like the Russian, Ethopian, French-Moroccan and American ones. Picked up some of these at work (by sitting next to a bunch of French-Moroccans for 3 years, for example).
The Goq
On this thread you are the only one who said anything derogatory about Chinese people. Please dont make an issue where there isnt one. These jokes are INNOCENT.
chinese people are wonderful! if not for them, what would you call your good plates?
For the record i dont think they are bad drivers i was just using that as an example of anti Chinese sentiment, i think it is a slippery slope here we are just having some fun with their language tomorrow who knows why start down this road i guarantee you if someone of Chinese descent read this thread they would be offended and not by me. For people who are always on guard for any anti-semetic language we should be doubly sensitive with regards to how we express ourselves with regards to other cultures.
Goq,
I hear where you are coming from but i think the difference is that Asian language can be spoken by anyone from any country/culture/religion. So when we make these jokes we aren’t making fun of any particular type of people.
The same way we make fun of English language with jokes like:
You park in a driveway and drive on a parkway.
Your nose may run and your feet may smell.
If con is the opposite of pro then what’s opposite of congress?
Frosted Flakes have frosting, but pitted prunes Dont have pits.
When I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this post, I end it.
Sincerely,
Sam Ting
sungha wong and fung wong had a little baby boy. the doctor showed them the baby – who had no resemblance to asians, and didn’t share any of their features. he was fare skinned, with normal features.
mr. wong looks at Mrs. wong and says: “listen honey, Two Wongs don’t make a White” so the named him – som ting wong
Great lines exeryone.. I don’t find it offensive at all – Its just a way of using their language to make clever remarks.. I don’y believe it will lead to anything more. It is not a discussion about Chinese people it is just a discussion using their language
Very interesting an advertiser on this website is using the term benefit auction instead of chinese auction way to go!!
This is not offensive, as long as we are not making fun of any people, whats the problem?
I have no problem of people making (these kind of clean) jokes from Yiddish.
SiDi™
It is very offensive but not racist.
He’s cleaning his automobile……………..Wa Shing Ka
Your body odour is offensive…………….Yu Stin Ki
Did you go to the beach?…………………Wai Yu So Tan?
I bumped into a coffee table……………..Ai Bang Mai Ni
Did anyone else hear about the time something along these lines
was substituted for actual Asian names in a TV news broadcast?
Ribbono shel Olam, was that funny…
I don’t approve of the jokes, though. They’re disrespectful.
(I wouldn’t call them racist, though.)
