The reaction of the lady from Italy when she heard "Ferrari" 🤣, I would imagine how many time she probably heard this word in other languages 🚗
Italians are always like this 😂 their reactions are too funny
In the dialect from where my family is from in Italy, they don't really do that exaggerated rolled R.
Now have some good ol' boy from the American South say it with a strong southern accent and watch her cringe into a ball. hahaha (My mom is from the south and I inherited a few funny expressions and pronunciations)

@@nikienhypen6334 as a dutch im also this way fortunately for me people mostly pronounce the brands they know correctly. Philips for example is pronounced the same in english as dutch and flemish(the Mr. Philips was from Belgium but made the brand Philips in the Netherlands) same with DAF and i never hear people pronounce Donkervoort or Spyker(car manufacturers) and i just accept KLM at this point since its an acronym

Swedish and German are germanic , English as well , some similarities , but Swedish is Nordic like the Danish or Norwegian , but I love the similarities among Italian , French and Spanish the most
Well, English, Deutsch and Dutch are West Germanic languages and Swedish, Norwegian Danish and Islandic are North Germanic. There are quite the few differences between them.
I would bet that Indonesian languages got some Dutch loanwords due to colonization.
danish and norwegian is a off-brand swedish
@@AT-rr2xw I heard they did.
English is a weird one, because despite being a West Germanic language, it had a lot of influence from North Germanic and Norman French. The word sky, for example, comes for the word of cloud in the Scandinavian languages.
Mata Hari's real name is Margaretha Geertruida Zelle. She's dutch woman who moved to Dutch East Indies (modern day Indonesia) after marriage because her husband duty, then she fell in love with Javanese culture (one of region in Indonesia) and took the influence to became exotic dancer including her stage name as mata hari, after divorce she moved back to Europe and pretend that she's mix Javanese to make her image to be more exotic and got her so famous all around Europe, she gain attention among European elitist and got her into this whole political spying mess during world war.

Alexander was almost correct. Mata Hari was executed as a spy but in the First World War. Mata Hari was her stage name (she was a dancer) but her real name was Margaretha Geertruida Zelle. She was born in the Netherlands.

It’s so cool to see how they see the world. They each have a different perspective but are always so kind and genuine. Love these interviews 😊
Matahari means an Eye of a Day. I'm a Korean and speaks Indonesian language.
I've heard that spy was called MATAHARI because the Netherlands conquered Indonesia during WWI.
She had married to a Dutch solider who had duty in Indonesia and lived there. After that she moved to the Netherlands after her son died and she showed her Javanese dance for a living. That's why she was called that name, I suppose.
yes you are right, solar mamamoo played mata hari dance recently
@@absyahwa7698 solar mamamoo and changsub btob have drama musical called Matahari

I learned that in Indonesia for 24 years "SUN" can also be called "FAJAR BELUM MENYINGSING" or "SINAR MENTARI" or "CAHAYA SURYA".
If she mentions these 3 words in Indonesian, surely they will be very confused.
Understandable that the Frenchman picked it up with Mata Hari. It was actually in WW1 that an exotic dancer took on that name and was a Dutch spy working for Germany. She met her demise in the face of a firing squad in France.
Last time I checked, it has been proven that she was mostly falsely accused. She agreed to do it but never did any actual work , and she never successfully left any information. Though people see her as one since she is the originator of the stereotype of the sexy female spy who seduce people so they continue to claim she was a spy.
@@Senefer hmm, pedantic. You're saying she agreed to spy and went to spy but because she yielded no results she was not a spy... Lots of people suck at their jobs and maintain a title. This isn't some perpetuated myth or exaggerated tale to play to an erotic fantasy. She was hired as a spy and deployed. Nothing was mentioned of her contributions.
@@olidreyar6381 . Maybe, but how many might have been forced to become spies. There is no evidence that she even tried to spy, she only agreed which means that she most likely only did so to get them off her back.
We can also turn it around by asking. If you agree to work at a place but never showed up, can you still say that you worked there? She never actually went to spy. At least not from any records, so its more like she said she would become one, but never actually did.
@@Senefer she was deployed to different locations. She showed up to work. Maybe she sat at the water cooler all day but she's clocked in and we're paying her. When she does her taxes she's writing down our company. When I look down the employee roster she's listed. When that jerk Bill from corporate comes by we can even use her as a scapegoat for our failures.
@@olidreyar6381 . The facts tells us that whatever Mata Hari gave was useless, which she knew. She was a scammer, not a spy. To me, you actually have to do spying in order to be a spy, but I guessing its not the same for you.
Carissa has a good charisma , I don't know nothing about indonesian language or languages ( there's actually many ) , but it's funny how she speaks 😄

I didn't really understand why they highlighted English in this video, when it's just a simple comparison between different countries 🤔
French is a Romance language just like Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, but it has the peculiarity that pronunciation is extremely difficult for those who speak any other Romance language.
Definitely as spanish speaker it's quite te hard.
Don't worry, it's hard for french to pronounce other roman languages as well 😂😂 and English is the hardest to pronounce because we don't have sound like "h", rolled "r"or "the" so we struggle a lot 🥲

Matahari (Indonesian)=sun (English). Mata Hari (literally, “Eye of the Day) is a Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan who was convicted of being a spy for Germany during WW I. Her real name is Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod (née Zelle). She was born in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. She married a Dutch Colonial Army Captain Rudolf MacLeod. She moved with her husband to Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) in 1897. In Indonesia, they lived in Java Island and Sumatra Island. When she lived in Indonesia she studied Indonesian culture and joined a local dance company during that time. Mata Hari is Margaretha’s pen name when she was in correspondence with her relatives in the Netherlands. Rudolf and Margaretha separated in 1902 because Rudolf was an alcoholic and physically abused Margaretha. In 1903, Margaretha moved to Paris. She struggled to earn a living in Paris. She performed as a circus horse rider using the name Lady MacLeod and also posed as an artist's model. By 1904, Mata Hari began to rise to prominence as an exotic dancer. Tall, extremely attractive, superficial, and willing to appear virtually nude in public, Mata Hari was an instant success in Paris and other large cities. She was shot by the French on charges of spying for Germany during World War I. She caused the deaths of thousands of Allied soldiers.
The French guy saying matahari is on point👌🏻

bang alexander itu dia loh
kok biasa aja
In Bahasa Indonesia language, Matahari means Sun, but it also come from two words, "Mata" means Eye, and "Hari" means Day. So Matahari can translated as "The Eye of The Day". Also in Bahasa Indonesia, "Spy" if translated to Indonesian is "Mata-Mata" (Eyes-Eyes). It means "The Eyes of Eyes", Someone who use his/her eyes as eyes for their master.
(EN : Spy Agent >>> ID : Agen Mata-Mata)
I think Mata Hari is her secret code as spy agent. Indonesia was a colony of the Netherlands at that time so that's why many Dutch already familiar with Indonesian language. (FYI : She also was live in East Java, a province in Indonesia for several years).
Matahari in Bahasa Indonesia can has many meanings because it's one of the most common word in Indonesian poet and literatures. So its suitable for secret agent code.
NO, but what he said about spy named "Matahari" is true. She lived in Indonesia (East Hindie back than?) for years, and somehow she became a spy, she's not Indonesian. There was a film about her. And my father had a book about spies in WW1/2.
@@bojes3467 Yes i know there was a Dutch spy agent and her name was Matahari. I never say that i claim her as native Indonesian.
I think mata-mata is just means there is a lot of mata (eyes), just like a spy there can be eyes everywhere
@@haryanwar1263 Mata-Mata is not word for plural things. Yes in Bahasa Indonesia many words if we say it two times repeatedly means plural like Orang-orang (People), Ikan-ikan (Fishes). But not always repeated words means plural. There are also many Indonesian words that "repeated" and looks like plural, but it's actually for singular thing. For example : Kura-kura (Turtle), Kupu-kupu (Butterfly), Lumba-lumba (Dolphin), Biri-biri (Sheep), Kunang-kunang (Firefly).
@@haryanwar1263 And, for Spy agent (Mata-mata), they rarely work in groups and couples. They usually work individually so they can't detected easily. There are no differences of Indonesian word between plural and singular for Mata-mata.
German is the biggest language influence on Swedish apart from Old Norse. Not only because of the germanic root but also because of trade history.
Also, Frozen has a Swedish name, it's "Frost".
Rgearding Frozen, it's funny because in french AND german they put the name of the old fairy tale from Andersen (probably thinking it will sell more as people know what it is). Disney didn't because Frozen is only loosely based on the Snow Queen. It would be kind of dishonest to brand it with the name of the original tale if 90% of the story is completely made up. Which makes it different from Cendrillon, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Sleeping Beauty etc...
Worth mentioning that Disney did the same with Tangled: loosely inspired by Raiponce, but a story mostly invented. Also changed back the name of the movie to the original fairy tale in France and Germany (Raiponce).
@@xenotypos Yes, "The Snow Queen" probably wasn't as catchy as "Frozen". Also, as you point out, in the same style as "Tangled". It would be funny though to rename all the old classics. Instead of Snow white, it would be something like "Boxed", Cinderella would be "Shoed" and Sleeping Beauty would just be "Pricked".
Swedish har also inspired the German language as well. Like Moped.
@@Nao-pj7mc That isn't correct though. Swedish comes from Old Norse, which is quite different from German. Old Norse and it's even older forms are again even more removed from German, even though they all are part the germanic languages. But compare Swedish and Icelandic, for example, to German, and you'll see a huge difference, and the much greater (later) influence of German on Swedish.
@@davidkglevi The spelling of Swedish compared to Danish and Norwegian also gives this away.
Frozen is not frozen in Swedish, it is ”Frost”
But no one calls it “Frost” lol
@@potatofuryy literally everyone i know does
@@potatofuryy jo alla gör det den heter ju så

Fried apples is called Pomme frit
fried apples just don't exist😂 But it would be called pommes frites too
"earth apples" is how several european countries call the potato. Erdäpfel in southern german, aardapeel in dutch. It's also how it's in Yiddish, so in Hebrew it's transposed that way too.
@@cle.mentine You're both wrong ; fried apples are called "Pommes sautées" in french... pretty common meal too. Frying in the pan is called "sauter" in french.
at @2:55 the spy that the french guy mentioned used to learn dancing in indonesia and a lot of people said she really shined whenever she performed hence the name matahari (a.k.a sun) was given to her as her stage name

also regarding the subs the french word for water is "eau" not "l'eau" so when alex explains the particle the subs say like "it should be "la" in front of "l'eau"" but actually should say "la eau gets shortened to l'eau"

In case any of those people in the video are reading this, Matahari is actually a person, but the name was Mata Hari, and this woman actually lived during WWI & she was famous for being a spy.
I just read about Mata Hari the spy that they were mentioned. Mata Hari is a Dutch woman spy during WW1 for Germany set by the Second Bureau of the French War Ministry in December, 1916. it is not an accident to be corelated to Indonesian Language because she herself married to Dutch Colonial Army Captain Rudolf MacLeod which they were part of Dutch East Indies. At that time Mata Hari aka Margaretha Geertruida Zelle found her name during her time in Indonesia studying Indonesian Culture. as what people explained in comment section, Mata Hari -> Matahari (the eye of the day) means sun.

She was regular dutch woman who moved to Dutch East Indie (Indonesia was Dutch colony back then) after marriage and her husband duty then fall in love with Javanese culture (one of region in Indonesia) and took the influence to became exotic dancer including her stage name as mata hari.
"Matahari" is used in daily conversation. "Surya" & "mentari" often used in songs, poems, literatures. There are also "baskara, syamsi, rawi, dan syams" which rarely used even in the songs, poems, literatures. and not many indonesians know these words.

Ferrari = same but the pronunciation is kind of like “Fer-rAA-ri”
Frozen = same, but again pronounced like “FroUzen” or if you’re from “Lande” aka the country side then “Frout-zen”
“Let it go” = Taakse jää (If I remember correctly). Literally it means “leave it behind”

It is interesting that the word Matahari sounds like Mata Hari. I wonder if there was intention when she chose that name. She was a Dutch exotic dancer that posed as a Javanese princess as part of her act. She was accused and convicted of spying during the first world war but it’s widely speculated that she was used as a scapegoat for the failures of the French during the early parts of the first world war and that she never actually passed on any intelligence that "couldn’t be found in a Spanish newspaper at the time".
In Bahasa Indonesia language, Matahari means Sun, but it also come from two words, "Mata" means Eye, and "Hari" means Day. So Matahari can translated as "The Eye of The Day".
Also in Bahasa Indonesia, "Spy" if translated to Indonesian is "Mata-Mata". It means "Eyes-Eyes" or "The Eyes of Eyes".

@@ven4846 My point was that Matahari the single word sounds like the two word name of the woman Mata Hari. As someone else explained the one word for sun comes from two words which is fascinating. I still wonder if she purposefully chose the name because she knew the word Matahari.
Margaretha Geertruida Zelle. (Mata hari) was a famous dancer who became a courtesan, and with the outbreak of World War I her catalog of lovers began to include high-ranking military officers of various nationalities. In February 1917, French authorities arrested her for espionage. She was accused of revealing details of the Allies’ new weapon (the tank) resulting in the deaths of thousands of soldiers. She was convicted and sentenced to death, and on October 15 she refused a blindfold and was shot to death by a firing squad at Vincennes.

I really liked the Swedish girl ESPECIALLY when I’m learning Swedish on duolingo so thanks Cajsa for teaching me some words I didn’t know 🥰 I’m super grateful😊
Aw you’re learning Swedish?? That’s so fun to me as a Swede! It is so cool that someone is learning the language I speak… xD
@RaNDoM Just want to say that she is wrong about ’Frozen’ in this clip. It is called ’Frost’ in sweden. Wanted to point it out, so you don’t get false information. Other than that, everything else is correct. 😊👍
@@dontknowmyname516 YEAH! I thought about that too!!

There are some really intressting videos on just how many english words are from old norse and scandinavian languages. The list would be way too long to write here, but check it out, its quiet amazing. As a Swede i can relate since the majority of english words are almost identical in swedish.
SUN in Indonesia is Matahari, Mata means Eye and Hari means Day, so literaly Matahari means The Eye of the Day, so in Indonesia, Sun is the Eye of the Day 😋, and Indonesia also have other name too for SUN, those are MENTARI and SURYA
7:19 Im Sweden we call it Frost!😮 You are the best!❤
The film frozen is actually called frost in Swedish which means frost in English, it’s the same word. 😊
7:00 I totally understand u, Alexander 😪
7:58 I just remembered "다 잊어" when they said "Let it Go" ❤️
Matahari itself actually has 2 words in it. I dont know those words have relation to the meaning 'sun' or not, but 'mata' means eyes and 'hari' means day, so matahari literally could means the eye of the day. 😄
Mata Hari lived in Malaysia or Indonesia. | Cầu nguyện cho Ukraine và hòa bình.
So i looked it up, Matahari was a dutch 'performer' Matahari was her stage name, captured by the french in the 'first' world war for being accused as a german spy
1:30 *Äpple
8:10 *Slå dig lös ("Slå dig fri" is correct but the movie is called Frost)
Why do you so often not spell things correctly? It seems like that should be a priority with language videos...
Also title is weird, she wasn't shocked and it's not comparing English to English. Wrong title by mistake?
Matahari the famous female spy once living in Indonesia, she studied and converted to Hinduism there. Matahari translated into "Eye of the day" or sun. As you know sun shapped like big eye floating in the sky during the day time.
I think if English hadn't taken so much French influence "fleur" for flower, we might still be using the old word "bloom", which would make us similar with our Germanic language cousins of Swedish and German.
If English didn't have any history after 1066 then sure, but it wouldn't be English. I just don't understand why English-speaking people keep repeating that like they regret 9 centuries of the history of their language. At this point it's not just "french influence", it's how English became English.
"if english didn't have any history" 💀as if english history was just about the Norman conquest of england. The simple fact that you said "it's how English became English" means you must not now the difference between english and old english. Moreover no english native speaker regret 9 centuries of the history of their language, somebody just pointed the fact that english would be much more similar to other germanic languages if it hadn't taken so much French influence@@Ezullof
3:58 i learn french at my school and that actually made sense we learnt that in 4th grade
Thank you for making such fun videos. I love your content so much ❤️
Little appendix: italian translation to Let it Go it's "All' Alba Sorgerò", means "I will rise at dawn" because when translate a song make assonances to original lyric, to synchronize to original voice!
🇫🇷❤ les français, française, vous êtes là ?
4:44 this reminded me of that one MSA line
"DoN't yOu kNoW iT is ilLeGal to pluck flrrrrr fRom Our gaRdEn, isTupidE🙄💅🏻" 😭😭😭
Nice video. I was hoping for some new words. 😔 Here in Serbia we would say:
Apple - Jabuka
Sun - Sunce
Water - Voda
Flower - Cvet
Music - Muzika
Ferrari - Ferari
Frozen - Frozen...
*Hola todos, como estan ustedes? Realmente soy Indonesio y vivo en Kutai Indonesia tambien, tengo frozen ahora. Mucho gusto amigos.. Nice to know many new words from many countries on entire world* 😎👀
maybe people do not know that Matahari once lived in Indonesia, precisely on the island of Java, even his youth was spent learning Javanese dance. A dance that can hypnotize political figures during World wars.. Europeans know who "Matahari" is..
She is from the Netherlands, Indonesia was colonised by the Netherlands. Mata Hari lived in Indonesia with her husband before her divorce. | Миру мир!
Yeah Europeans know Mata Hari,
the French guy noticed that in this video
Indonesian has its roots in the Malay language.And the Malay kingdom was a branch of the Ottoman Turkish empire.So the:
Market-Turkish:bazzar,malay:pasar
Greece,turkish:yunanistan,malay:yunani
egypt,arabic:almisro,turkish:misir,
malay:mesir
When the Swedish girl said "I feel like a 100 years ago we could understand each other" to the German girl 💀
That is just BS.
In sweden instead of frozen we actually call it frost! But it’s pretty popular to call it frozen too
We definitely need more videos with the girl from Sweden.
Bonus - Welsh translations: afal (apple), haul (sun), dŵr (water), blodyn (flower), cerddoriaeth (music)
Welsh looks like a language straight out of the Lord of the Rings.
Cerddoriaeth is so interesting, does it have some kind of etymology?
In sweden frozen is frost
I'm just realizing that, in Indonesia, last year's Eurovision song called Mata Hari would sound to them like “su, su, sun, sun”. And yeah, Mata Hari worked as a spy during the First World War, but it is great to see someone knowing about her.
Well, I've just noticed that the original Indonesian word is spelled together, but maybe said fast could sound like what I wrote before.
Yes cause before became a spy, she was regular dutch woman who moved to Dutch East Indie (Indonesia was Dutch colony) after marriage then fall in love with Javanese culture (one of region in Indonesia) and took the influence to became exotic dancer.
I would like if the brazilian girl was there with you guys. I loved... hugs from Brazil.
Mata Hari was indeed a woman spy from the Netherlands during the WW II.
This was her nickname!
German and Swedish are both Germanic languages so that’s why they have a lot of similar words/sounds… etc
🇬🇷 In Hellas 🇬🇷
1:23
*Μήλο* - mílo
Interestingly enough in ancient Hellenic potato was called *γεώμηλον* - gaiòmilon which means Earth-apple… 😮
The French got a bit inspired by that maybe!
And also… in Chile they call the apple mansana???
Not all around my country but in my region *Thrace* which is in the far north of the country, we call μαντζάνα/mantzàna the aubergine 🍆…
It’s a Thracian slang term that Hellenes from other parts of our country don’t know!
2:31
*Ήλιος* > ílios > Helios in English
3:21
We have two terms for this that we use interchangeably.
In ancient Hellenic it’s *ύδωρ* - ídor
In modern Hellenic it’s *νερό* - nerò
Ύδωρ - ydor > became hydro in English
We use frequently both terms.
What is going on with Indonesia???
Air exactly how she’s pronouncing it it’s the term *Αήρ* - aír which means aether/air in Hellenic🇬🇷
…???!!!
4:29
Again two main terms
Ancient Hellenic *άνθος* - ànthos
Modern Hellenic *λουλούδι* - lulùdi
5:28
Aha, that’s a Hellenic term and isn’t weird that all European languages adopted that Hellenic word. That’s why all similar!
*Μουσική* - musikí
The term derives from the word *Μούσες* Muses which were goddesses/nymphs of our mythology.
They believed that the Muses inspired the humans to write music and create arts like theatre, architecture, poetry, Historiography… etc etc
Also, the term *μουσείον* - museíon > museum derived form the Muses and it means the place where the Muses live!
A place of art!
6:25
*Φεράρι* feràri with rolled Rs but not that hard as in Italy!
Here we pronounce it Feràri not Ferrrrrràrrri!
It’s softer but with we are rolling our Rs as well!
7:09
*Frozen* …
We didn’t translated it here😂😂😂
But then they gave a translated title:
*Ψυχρά και ανάποδα* - Psixrà ke anàpoda meaning…
Cold and f***ed up! Meant that everything went wrong. Cold and f***ed!
How charming!
She was a spy during World War I and an exotic dancer. She was also born in Indonesia which explains why she named herself that way.
@@ChipitaDraws Really? I only knew that her real name was Margaretha Zelle. I didn’t knew why she chose that name
@@Kolious_Thrace Maybe because she learn Javanese dance with the locals, she was Dutch and Indonesia was a Dutch colony so it's possible she was born in java and go back to Europe as exotic dancer and choose that name based on the word 'sun' in Indonesian.
