Anybody able and willing to post a few typical Zhengzhou Hua sample sentences? Any comments on
this dialect would be welcome as well.

Thanks!

Randall

I know Zhengzhouhua has it's peculiar vocabulary, but I can't really think of any right now. What
really defines it is pronunciation. It changes 3rd tone to 1st, and 2nd tone to 4th. It is very
conducive to speaking very fast because of these changes. Even though I have lived here for years,
and hear it everyday, when 2 men get going, I can barely understand them. Although, if they were
to slow down, I could understand everything they say.

My 2 kids can speak it like natives, but I don't. However, I think my standard Chinese has been
corrupted slightly by it.

When women speak it, it sounds uncouth in my opinion, no matter how wenruo the girl is.

Hi,I'd like to choose some typical zhengzhou sentence for you.

1." 中"（zhong）means yes/good/great

2."可"（ke）is a adverb which always used before adj. to emphasis something.For
example,"可好吃（ke hao chi）"means it is very delicious;"可美（ke mei）"means it is very
beantiful.etc.

3.“俺”（an）equals me/I.

Other differances are pronunciation.eg."这"（zhe）is always (zhuo).

But it is not the problem.Because north accent is always easy to find out.

Just watch 荣誉, it was filmed in Henan (I don't remember if it was in Zhengzhou
however...)....but I would skip the last few episodes...

oh yeah, this is supposedly 'henan hua' 孬种....if you need to add insults to your list...

No, I'm not. Just heard somebody use it and I thought it sounded really nice. Just was curious
about it, that's all.

I speak He'nan Hua which is a little bit different from zhengzhou hua. When I visited Zhengzhou I
was aware of the trivial difference but I think I can convert to perfect Zhengzhou hua after
living there for 1 week.
