    Great interview. When I was on Countdown, Susie was really kind to everyone in the studio. Even when the day of recording lasted a lot longer than expected, Susie was still happy to give her precious time to people that wanted to chat with her.

    That was such an interesting and riveting chat (not an interview) between people who obviously like each other and have great respect for their achievements. And my takeaway word, which I shall be using at every opportunity, is ruthful. What a lovely sentiment to take forward. Thank you.

      @Baptist7203 Рік тому +9

      Susie was ready to leave 8/10 cats because she wasn’t included in the roasting and Jimmy Carr didn’t out of respect to her. When he found out she wanted to be fully included he more than obliged her to her delight.

    What a brilliant interview , Susie is fantastic , she has a passion for what she does , i think the English language is on its way down , one example that gets me is where has the word Twice has gone as people now say two times , strange , but what a fantastic interview , Susie is one of the most interesting people i have seen .

    • @blacxthornE
      @blacxthornE Рік тому

      part of enjoying linguistics is enjoying how languages evolve. are you lamenting the fact that people don't say "thrice" anymore? no, "three times" makes as much sense if not more. why should "twice" be sacred?

    • @zefft.f4010
      @zefft.f4010 Рік тому +2

      English is more widely spoken around the world today than at any other time in history.
      Also, people do still say twice. Even thrice on occasion.

    • @jeanpierreviergever1417
      @jeanpierreviergever1417 11 місяців тому

      When did the decay start do you think? Susie posts a word that has gone out of use every day on X/Twitter. For me as a Dutchman English would have been much easier if it had stuck with old Anglo-Saxon and not have all these Normandish and French influences.

  • @saorgaza6068

    Lovely enjoyable chat between James and Susie. Two words they mentioned 'ruth' and 'lovelight' appear in Irish folk songs. The first line of the song 'Sweet sixteen' 'When first I saw the lovelight in your eyes' and also 'Slievenamon' has a line in it describing a maiden as having 'the soul of truth and melting ruth'. I've often sung the song but always wondered what 'ruth' meant. Nice to know it means compassion. Thanks or all this

    What a truly awesome woman, thanks for this.
    An interesting usage I find is 'the exception that proves the rule' which, nowadays, means it's an exception but the rule still applies. When it was first used 'prove' meant 'test', so the phrase meant the exception that tests the rule and, presumably, if it fails the test it's no longer a rule. Quite the opposite.

    Susie Dent is a wonderful lady.
    As an aside, due to my daughter's Scandinavian mother tongue, she is single-handedly trying to revive "Overmorrow" in English, I only recently found out that it is an "archaic" word in English, so I'll stop trying to correct her ;)

    • @6yjjk
      @6yjjk Рік тому +2

      Finnish has "ylihuomenna", which pretty much translates directly to that. "The day after tomorrow" is so messy by comparison!

    • @Dave1507
      @Dave1507 Рік тому +2

  • @philipbrowne63
    @philipbrowne63 Рік тому +4

    Funny, I don't know whether James somewhere in his hindbrain remembered this, but there is indeed a German word for precisely the feeling of being comfortably at home @7:40 - "Gemütlichkeit". Susie started talking about 'geheim', which does indeed mean secret: she may have been thinking of 'Heimat', which means 'homeland'.

    • @Dave1507
      @Dave1507 Рік тому +1

      Gemütlichkeit isn't limited to your home though, it can be cozy anywhere (which is what 'gemütlich' means).

    In Scotland I went to a Catholic secondary school that had a catchment I guess within 20 miles radius in central Scotland. The school was in Stirling that provided for places within that radius such as Denny, Dunnipace, Kilsyth, Bonnybridge and other more obscure places such as Buchlyvie, Kippen and even Auchterader and each of those places had their own dialect that could identify them with that place even within that small radius

    Got stuck on the German word for 'feeling at home', Susie was looking for. 'Heimatgefühl' could be it (lit = 'home feeling'; a sense of familiarity, feeling at home/being on familiar territory). But it doesn't really - as far as I know German - capture the sense of mysterious attraction, they are talking about, i.e. being in a place where you don't belong, but still somehow strangely feel 'at home'.
