I speak cantonese and im learning mandarin. I find mandarin sounds better only if its a young adult woman 18-30 ... I find mandarin sounds really feminine and cantonese more masculine.. so naturally i think cantonese sounds better.

i speak cantonese but i can understand most mandarin and speak a little bit. i prefer cantonese more maybe because i understand it more.lol. but i think mandarin has a really smooth flow to it(if that makes sense).

I would prefer mandarin speaking because sounds better.
Mandarin speaking it is going to be more popular around the world in the future.
I choose mandarin.

Cantonese speaking sound loud and looks like it they are arguing but mandarin speaking sound softer .I would go for mandarin speaking because it is going to be more popular around the world.

Overall I like Cantonese, all the different regional accents attached to Mandarin makes it all wierd.

I speak Cantonese and I'm going to be learning Mandarin. Will it be easy for me to learn it?

im the opposite of you and i find it ok. i gues it's cos both are kinda chinese, so it makes picking up the other one faster and easier to understand, comparing to a caucasian learning to speak an asian language, get wat i mean? maybe we shd teach each other lol

lol mate theres regional accents for canto too. i myself speak one of them... its a lot different to normal canto. heres an example... you say "tou" in canto for "head"... but people from hoi fong (dunno eng name) say "tou hok" (as in head shell lol)... and when you say "lei yao mo zho gong fo" for "have you done your hw", they say "lei mo yao zho gong fo"... all with different accents of course.
anyway, i prefer mando over canto even though im canto. mando just flows better lol and the words are interconnected.. sounds kool lol.

Well, I only speak Canto. But I would choose canto over mando even if I knew mando too. Mando sounds so weird imo. ^^; Happy that I know canto. ^_____^

personally i can speak both but i think dat mando is better than canto because first of all it's the first language speaking in the world, then when we hear someone speaks mado it's very fluid whereas canto is harder 2 speak it quickly and finally i think dat chinese songs are better than cato songs

I speak Canto

I wish i knew Mandarin

At least it the universal language for all Chinese

Mandarin will be a language you have to know very soon

great for buisness

i dont no which its better
but in movies i prefer cantonese more then mandarin its sounds better for me

then in the musicbranch i have/like more mandarin songs ^^

I speak Cantonese and I wish I could speak Mandarin cos when people say they're going to 'learn chinese' it means 'learn mandarin' mostly and its more popular but I like Cantonese, it's good for everyday life and cussing

I speak mando, canto and taiwanese. i dont have a preference among them. It depends on which one does your community speak about. If they speak canto, then you re gonna speak canto. It they speak mando, then no choice you re gonna follow. so i have no preference. My hope is all the chinese people can be united and speak ONLY one dialect (either one of them will do).

I mainly speak canot, and can understand some mando. I like how mando sounds in music, but maybe cos i don't understand all the words. But canto also has its well point,s the songs are so sweet

I prefer Cantonese mainly because I cannot speak Mandarin well
If I were to speak Mandarin, I prefer to sound more like those from Taiwan rather than too localised type of Mandarin.

I do better on Cantonese but Mandarin is the offical langauges. So I better learn how to say the Mando. I speak both but I am good at Cantonese due to that is first learn language. Since I don't speak much of Mandarin therefore I foreget a bit of it, I think I could pick the up by date couple of Main land Chinese.

I speak both canto and mandarin. I think canto sounds better cause I think that it sounds more natural. Jokes are much funnier in Canto than Mandarin. But I prefer songs in mandarin especially love songs cause they are more emotional.

Hehe ... I was born in Beijing so I guess I'd bettaz side with Mando ... esp since I dunno much Canto ... '

yeah, i think it is the tone of the language that is the goo thing it is nice and flowy... but cnato sogns aint bad.. i like them... but maybe i prefer mando because i am mando.. hehe!

i prefer canto ofcourse, but i think mandarin is easier to learn than cantonese, it sounds more chinese if you know what i mean..

I think Mandarin sounds better than Cantonese. My family speaks cantonese, but I learned Mandarin while i was young. Cantonese does have more curse words than Mandarin.

I speak Cantonese and Taishanese and trying to learn Mandarin. Overall I like Cantonese's expressive taste. Mandarin is too simplified in my opinion but it's good to know when you want to speak with non-Guangdong people.

I prefer Cantonese becuz i can't speak Mandarin reli well..but i guess Mandarin sounds better

Cantonese sounds better to me, i speak both Mandarin and Cantonese, but i mostly speak the latter more. It flows alot better for me and because there are so many slang words i feel that its a lot more relaxed.

Funny that you say that because Actually Canto is more like the orginal Chinese Language

i can speak both, but i'd choose cantonese mainly because i'm better at it. plus, there's more slang. and mandarin sounds polite to matter the content, which annoys me

even tho i speak canto i kinda find that they both sound kinda rude....canto sounds very slang and mando sounds bit dodgey the way some ppl speak it....sounds coarse....

i speak cantonese but its not like i prefer one over the other. i love speaking in my broken mandarin too. hahahaha. i'm trying to learn more mandarin from watching TV and music.

but i'm glad i knew cantonese first because cantonese is harder to learn then mandarin imo. cause for me to learn mandarin isn't so bad. but for my mandarin friends... its harder for them to learn cantonese.

and i don't think either is more rude sounding then the other. its just that cantonese speakers can be a little bit louder. i hate it when ppl compare cantonese to vietnamese though. they sound nothing alike.

I speak both cantonese and mandarin, but I speak cantonese most the time, and some times I watch the movie with mandarin.

i like canton better probably cause i speak it...but then i really want to learn manderian right now cause i want to only use it to understand the twdrama i am watching T_T other then that mando isn't the language i would want to ever use even though a majority of the asian population speaks it...

i prefer to speak cantonese, since most of my friends are canto.. but its also good to know manderin since i can watch both canto/mandarin shows and understand what other people are saying

For me, cantonese is not really that elegant for a girl to speak... I really like mandarin more in the way to hear it... But for movies like in Hongkong, it's better to hear Cantonese of course....

there is no difference of what's better or not... just for particilar stuff

I speak Cantonese, but not mandarin. My parents want me to learn Mandarin because many people speak it and was a common language. It's like the main Chinese language.

I only speak canto but I do understand a little bit mandarin, it's just I can't speak it . If someone is talking to me in mandarin I will be able to understand him.

i think Mando is good, because many ppl speak mando.
i'm Canto, i want learn Mando

used to know how to speak canto, because i used to live in hongkong for a period of time when i was very young. but forgot all about it . i can only speak mandarin now.

I speak both language. But even if u speak both usually u onli grow up wit one so u prob lean toward that. I dink mando is a more formal language and is better sounding, but canto is more down to earth kinda like slang

Thats no suprise. Mandarin was a lanauage of the Courts back then. Cantonese called themselves Tang Ren. Tang Dynasty was one of the most cultural periods of Chinese civilization.

I speak Cantonese and some Mandarin but I watch shows in both languages. I would say I prefer Cantonese because I understand it more and also because it's easier for me to speak. But maybe that's just because my Mandarin isn't really good.

I like Canto better than Manderin. I speak Canto and umm understand Manderin but can barely speak it. I attended Chinese school for about one and half years but I quit. I wasn't that interested in Manderin. I was more into Canto. I already knew how to speak Canto, but I wanted to learn more, like study poetry, philosophy, etc. in Canto. I didn't really see a point in studing Manderin. That was such a long time ago though.. I was around 7-8 years old.. now I kind of regret quitting because I could've learned how to read chinese. I could've translated things myself.. Now I only know the basic words to reading and writing chinese.. I wished i stayed...

I like Cantonese, I guess because it's the only one I speak/know. It seems more expressive than Mandarin. I can't understand Mandarin at all, and the only thing I really know how to say is, "I don't speak Mandarin." ^^;;

They tried to teach us Mandarin in Chinese school, but I just never picked it up. maybe because I just don't like the sound of it and all that slurring.

well i speak canto and dunno mandarin..but i ike mandarin better..and i wanna learn it

totally agree!!!

think mando sounds much more polite and smooth whilst canto is everyday and simply... ^^ they are nice in their own ways though ^^ sometimes can't decide which to speak in so mix the two XD....

Would def have to go with canto since thats my language and i feel its better even tho mand suppose to be the first language.Just cant picute myself watching tvb series in mand.

I like mandarin (non beijing accent) for its flow. It's also very melodic, in my opinion. But I prefer cantonese because it's just so fun! the slang and the swearing, makes the language so much more....... descriptive!

i think canto is better, since i noe how to speak it, but mando is very important in china, since most of the people there speak mando, its really hard to communicate unless they know what we are saying.

cantonese

its harder, i am not as good at it as mandarin but i really connect with ppl that speak it(mandarin too but just not as much)

I like Cantonese better, but I think Mandarin is easily to learn, since they have the translations in english teaching you how to say the words. But I think that many words in Mandarin sounds very similar, and it's easy to say something else than what you really wanted to say.

I like Mandarina since sounds better. I speak both I think Mando. sound much better the Canto.. Also there is a major different between the two you could write with the Mando. but not Canto. Since Canto. has a lot of word you couldn't find in the dictionary. Cantonese is much more difficult to learn they have more tone in the languages.
