Measure words! I feel like we should take a few days over these just because there are so many, but let’s see how it goes.

・Following up on Zhu Yilong’s pronunciation of 聊天儿，照片儿，上班儿 etc., I made Yu-jie listen to bits of his livestream, and she laughed and said “yup, that’s a Beijing 儿化 all right!” At some point I’ll have to watch his 武汉话 movies and see how different he sounds...
・顺便来说，我之后要去考HSK呢，请你们祝我好幸运！

Oh oh oh, that explicated something about mass nouns vs other nouns that I hadn't consciously thought about in relation to classifiers before, nice.

I haven't seen the funeral film yet, but he definitely sounds very different in Embrace Again - my listening comprehension is still not great, but even I could hear a lot of differences, it was very fun.

I never thought about it that way, but it's helpful! Also now tempted to see what silly sentences come up by jumbling classifiers...

Oh, neat! Embrace Again is a mixture of "things I REALLY WANT to see" and "no thank you not at all," so I'll have to figure out how to get myself to watch it.

Here's one of the longer videos where he's speaking Wuhan dialect. CW: It's from January 2020, and it's a message about the same topic as Embrace Again, but maybe not as difficult as watching the movie? (For me it helped to turn off the English captions.)

I've heard that in some (most?) overseas markets, the version of Embrace Again that's available for streaming is in standard Mandarin/Putonghua, not Wuhan dialect, which is really disappointing.

Oh, thank you! Oh dear. I'd have to listen sentence by sentence carefully to hear the proper differences, but it does sound like there aren't any of those hard 儿 sounds ;)

Why would they do that, good grief.
