[jayajaya]

i am a chinese guy. hope can make friends all over the world.

[hobielover]

:welcome:

Well, since this is an international forum, there are fans from many different places and backgrounds here. I'm American and Caucasian, but hardly the norm. We have Asians from all different nationalities, Latin Americans, African-Americans, and more visiting this forum, but we all love Jay!

Do you speak Mandarin? I am trying to learn. What part of China are you from? My name is Sam, by the way, and I'm from North Carolina. :happy:

[Duy Manh]

Hello Sam, nice to meet you!. I 'm from Vietnam, Ha Noi city.
I really love Jay, and I want to make friends all over the world.
I knew that your country is very beautyful, I really want to get there.
My English is not good, so I found it pretty difficult to communicate with you. I hope you'll help me.

Pm: jayajaya, what is your name ?

[hobielover]

Don't worry, as long as people can understand, you are doing fine. We won't get mad over a few spelling and grammar issues. :wink2: Unfortunately, I don't know Vietnamese, just English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.

I'm not sure how beautiful the US is, since I've only been out of country once for a cruise, so I don't have anyplace to compare to.

[Duy Manh]

Can you give me your nickname of yahoo messenger.
My nick name is: eddy_elbbk.
I hope you will teach me English. So I can talk with everybody more.

P/s : My fullname is Duy Manh Nguyen.

I don't have one, sorry. Feel free to PM me, though. "PM" stands for "private message." You just go and click on my username ("hobielover") and then go down to "Send Private Message," and then you can ask any questions you want, I can try to answer right away! :happy:

[alisadorsey@yahoo.co]

Not everyone is chinese in the forum. I am black. I guess that is the appropriate term, since I am mixed with other cultures and African American means that your ancestry is only African and no other race. But anywho, welcome to the forum. We all do love Jay because his work is so great.

[indecendence]

[sheila.lyd]

[chineseguyjl]

Im an ABC but i know chinese just dont know how to read and write it. you know the story.

Yeah i'm the asian you see with the tan, body boarding, surfing, and skateboarding. Im completely white washed, even though my parents arent even close to becoming white washed.

[lil~jo]

I'm born in NZ.
Im a NZ born chinese!
My parent are born in malaysia....

chineseguyjl, awesome signature. Lupe Fiasco is the man.

[her1na_tan]

Hi I'm chinese too
Nice to know you
I also want to know more jay's fan all over the world
I'm Ace Chan ^^

[Original Doll]

nope, not chinese ^^
but would loooove to make new chinese friends =D

[advo]

I am definitely Chinese, but born and raised in Denmark. Which means I don't speak Mandarin, unfortunately. Wish I could! I do however, speak Cantonese and Teo Chew, well and Danish, English and French.

[fannydusud]

I'm french, living in France.
I'm learning chinese at the university, trying hard and hoping to graduate, and i'm very eager to get to know China's culture (and Jay is definitely relevant in this case!).

[thegreenbit]

I guess I fell in the norm of the Jay Chow's fan base. I was born in China but raised in US. I grew up in NYC so I kept my root pretty well. I would say that I'm half/half and that causes problems sometime. I'm not american enough when I hang out with my american friends, and the chinese groups think I'm a little too white washed, lol.

Frankly, I'm surprised to find out that there are this many non-Chinese Jay Chow fans.

[may-wu]

I'm From Bali - Indonesia, I'm a Chinese Indo....
I Love Jay and some of Taiwanese stars..........

[.: blacklily :.]

i'm a halfie - half chinese half malay. but many people think i'm full chinese coz I have small eyes kekeke

can speak mandarin and little bit of cantonese~ emm... but i think i'm more attached to m chinese side than my malay side lol :tongue: try this - how many malays even know jay existed?? but the numbers are growing... i'm really proud of that :wink2: (coz i crazily promoted jay to my friends... and they love him! hee~)

[kyproperty]

Nope.
I'm hmong.
I know alot of jay fans who aren't chinese.
Alot aren't even asian.

[Flo!]

I'm 100% german, but I'm gonna study chinese next year here in munich (at the university). I would love to move to China or Taiwan one day, but that's gonna take a while...

Unfortunately, my only chinese friend isn't very into chinese or asian music and there are no germans i know that listen to this kind of music.

[birdnesttrading]

Im Chinese too...

i live in indonesia & was born here so my indonesian is alot better than my chinese hehehe..

but i'm still can talking chinese :)

[qingtian]

im from bangladesh.my first mandarin song was e zuo ju by wang lan yin.now i listen to mandarin music everyday.im glad that you asked this question.

[sh0ck815]

I'm Chinese (HK), but was born in London. I moved to Chicago at a young age, but was kept rooted by my Chinese heritage. Eventually I stumbled upon Jay Chou's music after visiting my ex-girlfriend's (gf at the time) "Xanga" page, and have enjoyed his music ever since. :D

I'm surprised to see how many non-Chinese people love his music. People in HK love him as well. I guess he's become an Asian icon for Chinese music and culture.

[gochaseatree]

taiwan <3 same home land as jay chou! cept i'm not as asian as he is =/

[Yifmelon]

I'm Chinese =].
But I live in the UK so yeah... I speak English as well.

[imperialclan]

Hey I'm chinese and I'm from the U.S. btw is malaysian count as being chinese?

[.: blacklily :.]

Hey I'm chinese and I'm from the U.S. btw is malaysian count as being chinese?

no... in malaysia there's chinese, malays, indians, and many other ethnicities. we are multicultural~ hehe :happy:

[torifel]

craziness.
had no idea jay's music was so international since he basically speaks no english (not like wang lee hom who is totally an ABC)...

but yeah, obviously, i'm an ABC. parent's from Taiwan, but I was born and raised in the good ole USA. rediscovered my love of all things chinese a few years ago. and hence, my love of jay.

[hobielover]

craziness.
had no idea jay's music was so international since he basically speaks no english (not like wang lee hom who is totally an ABC)...
Well, in my case, it's because I'm studying Mandarin, so I really do know what he's saying, even though he doesn't speak my native tongue. I also understand his songs to some extent, despite the mumbling.

[codemanz234]

hmm yeah i'm chinese but i'm sure that there are plently of other nationalities that browse this forum

[thungster]

i'm chinese, but i was born in the US so i speak english. although my parents are chinese from indonesia so i also speak indonesian :happy:

[mrwong1]

I'm so white, but I just happen to be chinese... call it what you like... a twinkie, a banana... it's all pretty much the same: yellow on the outside, white on the in.

[spongebob]

no i am not chinese, although i have studied the chinese language for 4 years, I still have a hard time understanding Jay when he talks!

[scherzando]

Chinese-Indonesian here.. Great-grandparents (or somewhere near that generation) are from China, but 2-3 generations after that have been living in Indonesia.. So yeah, I look Chinese, but don't speak the language.. (will do, someday.. ;p)

[Xing Hua]

I'm Chinese!!! but i dont understand any sort of chinese because i was brought up in Australia.

[itsrisa]

hi!
i'm half korean and half chinese. but i love listening to chinese and korean songs!

[kolanie]

i'm not chinese...i'm thai...but i LOVE jay music

[broken_paper]

i'm full chinese and i was born in the U.S. but i grew up speaking cantonese with my family. Many people say that i have an accent and that's true so i have trouble speaking english sometimes. i'm pretty good with mandarin too because i have been studying it. actually, jay chou got me into studying the language in the first place. :)

[Justice]

Born and raised in Germany but origin is turkish. I had no idea what jay is singing till i read the lyrics of the songs. Anyway i loved it though without understanding a single word. Jay rocks!

[tanrav]

I'm Mix Chinese and Khmer, so I don't really understand Chinese. I speak Khmer but I'm learning mandarin.

[chiru]

I am 100% Taiwanese.

My parents told me I have no Chinese blood in me. xD

I can understand a minimal amount of Mandarin which include the following:

Can you understand Chinese?
It's time to eat.
Go to bed. Turn off the light.
Where's the bathroom?

Those are the top four things people tell me in Mandarin. xD

[maddad25]

Well! I was born in Australia and I know Cantonese, English and learning Mando/chinese

[ijaney]

I'm ABC (American Born Chinese)
I only know cantonese but i'm learning mandarin

[luphlycath]

hi~
i'm half indonesian and half chinese...
but i can't speak mandarin.. lolz...
just indonesian and english...
umh,,, but i'm still not sure whether my english is quite good 4 u guys 2 understand... lolz

[plushietiger]

Am i a twinkie/banana ? Hopefully not. I am chinese but sadly don't know chinese and can only speak english. I can understands bits and pieces but that's only because of my grandparents and they speak a mixed weirdo version of canto/mando/wenzhou/??? so it doesn't really work that well -:dry: I live in New York City and PRAY MAN PRAY someday when i'm old enough to earn my own money i can go to a Jay Chou concert. Inside i am chinese though even if i don't speak it. How? 90% of the songs i listen to are not english :glug: I have some Fobish friends though that do listen to Jay but aren't huge fans >.<

[blooies]

im 100% chinese. i speak canto, understand a tad mando but really obessed with taiwanese entertainment xD

[nathooo]

i'm chinese too.. but live in indoo hehe...

[roxyloveschou]

Hello! (I'm new here!) Anyways, I'm German and Scottish, but I live in the U.S. in Ohio. I only speak English but I am going to college for Mandarin Chinese so I can be a translator. :)

[lz_bumz]

hello! i'm australian born chinese. my main language at home is teo chiew(chu chao) but i know how to speak/understand some cantonese and mandarin too.
Also been learning korean for nearly a year and half now...half a year left then i think i'll start learning mandarin so i can fully understand what's going on in variety shows and dramas hehe:)

[playdoughpuppet]

I'm chinese but apparently I can't seem to speak or write. Fall from grace.

[Lyrea]

Hello, I'm a Chinese Indonesian....I can't speak Chinese though because I've never learned and its sort of stop in my father's generation. But recently I've been struggling with the issue, and trying to find and understand my root, I've been in China to learn Chinese now!

Where are you anyway? I'm at Beijing now, and studying hard to conquer the basic language! Waah, I can't believe my ancestors used to speak these kind of language easily between themselves!

By the way, nice to meet you!

[IS2SATORU]

hello! well I'm Chinese Vietnamese =] . I don't really speak Mandarin. I

than that my Mandarin is fail haha. I can speak Cantonese and Vietnamese

@Lexii89: I am also Caucasian, but from the United States. My parents are always like, "Why can't you listen to English music?!"

oh, i know this pain. xP my mum has been trying to get used to my asian obsession for a really long time. cause i don't like asian music only. i love asian guys, i wanna marry one xP (or just date for now lol), i love hello kitty, asian food, home decorating in asian style - mostly everything. and i would love to order everything asian related on-line but i guess i would run out of money in a few days and i would starve to death next to hello kitty figure. xD (no, i'm not mental, it's called HUGE obsession... xP)

LOL! The guy I marry has to know Mandarin! I don't care if he is not Asian, but he has to know Mandarin Chinese. My mom constantly stops me from ordering through YesAsia, since I will go, "I want Jay's this, Mayday's that, some LeeHom, and some sodagreen..." I am a bit obsessed, as well. I have a Chinese clock in my room, 3 qipao (Chinese dresses), and a big stack of Chinese CDs and DVDs!

We don't need to be Chinese to love Jay!

yeah... but who will pay my bills... *bites nails* xP
my husband must speak some asian language, i like listening to chinese, korean, japanese, etc. <- fetish? xD
i'm so glad i'm not the only "mental" person here! ^^ xP

Remember to use the link on Jay-Chou.net's homepage, so part of the sale will go to Jay-Chou.net and keep the site running. :happy: I use my debit card for everything, so the foreign transaction fees won't kill me, and I don't have to worry about paying the bank afterwards.

My dad told me to learn Chinese, which explains why I started learning, which also how I discovered Jay. People tend to think I am Chinese on the 'Net, though, since I know how to type Chinese. Of course, some people think I'm part Chinese when they find out I know some Chinese, just because they don't expect that from a white girl. I don't look Chinese, but they just assume. :sweat:

Hey, guys! I'm 100% Chinese (50% HK lollol) but I was born in the US, so I know more English than Chinese, unfortunately. I know a decent amount of Tai Shan (it's a random Chinese dialect that's linked to Cantonese...), a teeeensy bit of Cantonese, and some Mandarin (mostly from Jay or TW dramas lol). I'm also really into Korean artists/dramas so I know a teensy bit of Korean now too ^^;;
Fairly good at English.:bleh:

I'm Malaysina-Chinese. But I don't read nor write mandarin although I can understand mandarin perfectly. Weird... and it's complicated I guess.

[koshakee]

Hi I'm Ashley and I'm Australian. My waipo (grandmother) is Chinese but apart from a lot of food and some cultural stuff, hardly anyone would guess that I'm part Chinese. I inherited mostly caucasian genes from my dad. :-) I speak a little Chinese but would really love to learn it properly and go there someday to see where my relatives came from. Jay's songs inspire me and help me to learn a bit more Mandarin. I discovered Jay when I moved down from Queensland to Melbourne and my husband studied Mandarin full time. I also got to meet a heap of my Chinese relatives that live in Melbourne that I had barely seen growing up. I can't wait to go see Jay in Sydney soon! I can't believe he is actually coming to Australia. That is a dream come true!

[Lovely-lychee]

I see... So not all of you are Chinese. I'm not a chinese myself. Actually I am Korean :D But I live in Indonesia and my mom live in China during her childhood, so I can speak 4 different languages, including English. Not very good in speaking Chinese though, but I think at least I can still understand what other people say if it is only a simple daily conversation because my mom sometimes speak in chinese when she meets her relatives :D

Nice to meet you all!

[Jayshinki]

Actually I am Korean :D But I live in Indonesia and my mom live in China during her childhood

Hi Lovely-lychee :wave:,

Wow...you're a Korean and live in Indonesia.. Nice to meet you, annyeong haseyo, apa kabar^^

I'm an Indonesian-Chinese and currently stay at Surabaya. Do you mind if I asking u where you stay now?
So you can speak 4 different languages...wow, it's so impressing.
I can only speak Indonesian and English... yeah, although I'm Chinese, I can't speak in Chinese since my parents never use it :depresse: but, I'm trying to learn it now.

[Great Sun]

Im vietnamese, Asian ppl :-?
Well I dont understand much when I 1st heard Jay, but later thanks to the eng sub well I got it :D

I'm from singapore! Hence can handle both english and mandarin well enough ;D

[okashiichibi]

I'm Chinese but I speak Cantonese. I want to learn mandarin though!

[lisalala]

I am Chinese but have lived most of my life overseas.
I like how some of Jay"s song reminds me of my childhood back in china
eg dao xiang
makes me proud to be a Chinese:)

[SayNoToPistons]

I'm Chinese, born in NYC. I speak canto but I'm better at English for the most part.

[shadowcats2]

Ni hao! I'm Sheri. I'm a caucasian from Canada. Learning a little Mandarin, but not anywhere near fluent. Love to make friends all over the world!! I love Jay the best, although I listen to lots of Mandarin, Japanese and Korean music.

[Seneca]

Nope, not all of us!
I'm from Nashville... :wave:
(But- your thread presented the perfect opportunity for me to ask what I've been wondering: Is it difficult for fluent/native Chinese-speaking people to understand Jay? I've heard that he mumbles, but because I don't speak Chinese, I have no way to make my own opinion...)

[LittleMissMishi]

Wow, I had no idea! I thought you're some kinda mixed asian. haha. by the way, can u speak chinese or understand it? =D

Really?!

Woot!

You just made my day! :excited:

Haha!

I can understand it a bit but I'm not good at it.

I do understand Japanese though :-)

xoxo

[Agent S14]

Im not chinese but my friend translates all the songs for me. Go jay WOOT!

[Totorox3]

Yep, I'm Chinese residing in Canada. My parents are from Hong Kong, so my first language is Cantonese. Second language would be Taiwanese/Hokkien...Since my older relatives and parents speak it a lot, I understand it. Third language would be Mandarin :D Went to Mandarin school since I was 3, mainly because my dad forced me. Actually, I'm quite glad I know Mandarin now 'cause I can understand the lyrics :happy:

[Gmjs]

I am a "bak guoy" (lol at my poor pinyin), born and raised in NYC. I am moving to Taiwan in a few months.

I saw Jay in concert a while back :D

[Lisgod]

Im from England! Hi!!!
I only speak english =/ wanna learn japanese though =D

[Marsy_01]

Yes, I'm a chinese but i live in Indonesia. I used to hate Jay, but now... Can't get enough of him haha.. Although I was born in Indonesia, but chinese is my mother tongue, so now I speak Chinese, Indonesian, English and French. I really really really want to go to his concert. I only saw it in DVD, and i think it's pretty amazing. but i guess he'll never schedule a concert in Indonesia anyway... Can u please inform me about his next concert, or world tour, anywhere?

[semutcowo]

Like Marsy_01. I'm a chinese and live in Indonesia, but i can't speak chinese :cry:

[soulof.love]

[v.evelyn]

Hi, I'm Chinese but I born and live in Indonesia.
I also can speak Chinese too.
Nice to meet you jayajaya.
I wonder why Jay's concert never held in Indonesia?
Btw, like Marsy_01, can you please inform me about his next concert, or world tour, anywhere cause I want to see him so badly. Hehehe.
Thanks.

[whizzopia]

I'm Indonesian living in Australia. Nice to meet you.

[DKTempest]

haha...yup Malaysian Chinese but always speak english...=="...:-)

[jenniferleo]

hey hey...
i'm chinese but english educated...
so can't read chinese words, therefore always depending so much of pinyin lyrics in order to sing jay chou song:shy:

[ccf_]

Howdy,

I'm an Australian born chinese, although my parents are chinese malaysian.

My first language used to be canto, until I started watching the idiot box >_<.

How I wish that I paid more attention to the Saturday Mandarin classes my parents dragged me to...

Have conversational understanding of canto (althought it's deteriorated since I moved cities and have no one to talk to). Mando is pretty bad - although I managed to get around Beijing last year without a phrase book lol. Did Japanese for a few years and Korean for 10 weeks.

Jay is my latest obsession :D

I wish I could improve on my Chinese skills which are pretty basic. I really hope that one day I can be a transfer student and go to Taiwan for some studying or something :)

It's really great to see all these people from all these different backgrounds all uniting for their love of Jay!

I am not very fluent in Chinese as I was when I was young, but I can communicate and order food! Hahaha. Nice to meet eveyrbody my name is Yar Zhang. If anybody wants to chat YarRedSunZ@hotmail.com is my MSN. <3

[jchouforme]

i hope we're all chinese o.o well as long as we're asian i think thats waht matters because whites and blacks won't be listening to chinese songs... at least i don't think they'll understand it

I'm white and I listen to Chinese music. I think it's verging on stereotyping to say white (and black) people won't be listening to it. I listen to all kinds of Asian music.
Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hmong....

At the very least it's rude, imo.

[leeemur]

I'm chinese. :)
I don't speak chinese though, but I'm learning!
I'm from the US, btw.

[minh19913]

Not all of us are Chinese. I'm Vietnamese, I'm learning Mandarin. one of the reasons I decided to learn Mandarin is because I like Jay's music.

[Nancy08]

What's banana?

Hey guys,

Nancy's here. I'm from New Jersey. I would like to learn Chinese language.

Can anyone here give me some sample greetings in Chinese?

Thanks in advance!

A banana is a person who is asian, but people think they act more 'white', if I'm correct

I'm Chinese, although I've only recently started listening to Jay Chou.
