So refreshing to see an American who actually knows other cultures 👏
@@module79l28 probably they didnt mention that to her
@@module79l28 It literally says american guesses europeans on the top left. She even pointed out at the belgian girl that she might be from Turkey because she looks Asian but the closest country to Europe thats kind of seen as Asian is Turkey, so she tried staying within Europe. I dont think she would be so familiar with european culture and wouldnt know that france or turkey isnt germanic, lol.
@@module79l28so you saying you can do better?
@@module79l28 u're so slow they probs told that to her, if they said germanic languages it would have been too easy.
Yes, because Americans are no different from people from other countries which means that there are well educated, thoughtful individuals as well as people that are not. I think this speaks more of your prejudices based on nationality than anything else.
It's great to see an American that knows and cares about other cultures. Hard to find this depiction online.
Things we see online are literally staged. So it seems like Americans are stupid but really there are many many MANY smart Americans out there. This is not bias as I am a Swede and I can say we have pretty dumb people too like someone told me once Dutch people are from Germany or France has the city Rome (it’s just staged stereotypes) not always true
This American girl is so sweet, kind and gentle!
I'd personally, agree.

Actually the Kebab Döner was invented in Germany by a Turkish guy.
He brought the Kebab Plate to germany and noticed his restaurant was empty.
That's when he saw outside how german people were always in hurry and ate Hamburgers and Cheeseburgers while running.
And he was like why don't I stuff everything inside a flatbread and make it to go?
And that's how the Kebab Döner came to existence.
This was the first time I saw a German person online admitting Donor came from Türkiye.
I encountered multiple people who genuinely believe Turkish people saw donor in German and introduced in Türkiye.
@@Ismail_ibn_IshaqNo, Döner Kebab was invented in Germany BY a turkish guy. That‘s the point.

The Dutch being called German is a timeless but infuriating fact.
Well, even the national anthem states, that the Dutch national hero is of German heritage ("ben ik, van Duitsen bloed")
tbf dutch does mean "Deutsch" from an etymological standpoint. So dutch literally means german in terms of raw meaning.
@@Answerisequal42but only english people call dutch people dutch.

“Diets” in Dutch, means “belonging to the people”
As a Dutchie who has lived very close to the border with Germany for most of his life, I would never have guessed that the Austrian girl was from Austria. Her accent was so neutral that I couldn’t possibly tell it apart from standard German from Germany.
As a German I also thought she was german
I would have put the Swiss woman in Eastern Europe, even though I come from Southern Germany and grew up with the Allemanic dialect. She probably just spoke too fast as a Bernese.
I'm a duchtie
@@jasperkok8745 That's because she's from Tirol, a Region in Austria and Italy where they speak a very different dialect than the Standard austrians. My father is from there. Aside from the dialect the tiroleans rather learn high German instead of austrian German because of closer historical ties to Germany than to Austria and because when going on a Holiday in Austria the Germans mostly go to Tirol, so it's Not uncommon for a German on Holiday there to meet other Germans.
@@martenspitzner408 Oh, that’s interesting, thanks for explaining. I studied Spanish at university, so I know a fair bit about how languages differ (though more in the Romance language family than the Germanic languages). I had a similar experience with an Australian lecturer once. He spoke in such a neutral accent (cultivated Australian English), that I initially thought he was British. It was only when I listened more carefully that I noticed a few non-British features in his pronunciation.
Even Germany has many dialects and we germans don't understand each other sometimes 🤣
Yea true, I’m from germany
@@ItsClariundAnoservus. und aus woher genauer, wenn i frong derf?
@@AnniJ15 thats so true
Gets even worse when you go to other German speaking countries.
But it's similar with Scandinavian languages, they are essentially the same while sounding very different, but there's always this one language that just sounds like the other ones if a person speaking were just severely drunk.
That's the same sense I got with Austrians when hearing them speak. They are just Germans that sound exceptionally drunk.
I heard a Swedish person describe danish as just swedish but with a potato stuck in their throat.. I found it quite fitting actually
Fun fact even English is a Germanic language
whose only 26% words are of Germanic origin though
@@usshelenacl-50 the basic vocabulary of English language is completly germanic. And the elevated vocabulary in all Western European languages is practically Latin. Even words like Mauer (=Wall in German) is of Latin origin.
Belgium was way too easy to guess, basically the best question to ask if someone is from Belgium 😂 , french fries is a big thing in Belgium...probably because it's from there
i love how the americans say french fries even its from belgium originally - its from the WW1 or WW2 where the American Soldiers were based in Belgium near to France and thought it was France because they spoke alot of french there
No!!! French fries are from France.
The Belgian food historian Pierre Leclercq has traced the history of the french fry and asserts that "it is clear that fries are of French origin".[39] They became an emblematic Parisian dish in the 19th century. Frédéric Krieger, a Bavarian musician, learned to cook fries at a roaster on rue Montmartre in Paris in 1842, and took the recipe to Belgium in 1844, where he created his business Fritz and sold "la pomme de terre frite à l'instar de Paris" ("Paris-style fried potatoes").[40][41] The modern style of fries born in Paris around 1855 is different from the domestic fried potato that existed in the 18th century.
From the Belgian standpoint, the popularity of the term "french fries" is explained as "French gastronomic hegemony" into which the cuisine of Belgium was assimilated, because of a lack of understanding coupled with a shared language and geographic proximity of the countries.[38] The Belgian journalist Jo Gérard [fr] claimed that a 1781 family manuscript recounts that potatoes were deep-fried prior to 1680 in the Meuse valley, as a substitute for frying fish when the rivers were frozen.[29][35] Gérard never produced the manuscript that supports this claim, and "the historical value of this story is open to question".[42] In any case, it is unrelated to the later history of the french fry, as the potato did not arrive in the region until around 1735. In any case, given 18th-century economic conditions: "it is absolutely unthinkable that a peasant could have dedicated large quantities of fat for cooking potatoes. At most they were sautéed in a pan".[43]
@@retowalti9227 Absolutly not. Amercan call them french fries because they are french. invented during the revolution in Paris Pont Neuf.
@@retowalti9227 In the Netherlands we have 2 different words for them, Vlaamse(belgium) and French, Vlaamse are usually a bit thicker than French here, but honestly idk where they are originally from.
@@Koalaster But it's patat either way.
Yes, Switzerland has 4 national languages but they are regional so don't go thinking everyone speaks all four!
As of 2022, 61.8% speak a Swiss German dialect as their first language, 22.8 % French, 7.8% Italian, 0.5% Romansh (it's endangered and all speakers are perfectly bilingual with Swiss German or Italian) and 23.4% speak a non-national language natively, the top ones being English, Portuguese and Albanian.
All Swiss people have to learn at least one of the other national languages in school (not Romansh, the other three). But it's common knowledge that the German speakers don't like learning French and the French speakers don't like learning German and most people are pretty bad at it lol.
I've experienced it once and the amount of vitriol German speaking Swiss have for learning French (and vice versa I assume) sometimes makes me wonder how and IF people there communicated before English became the default language for international commerce.
@@stargazer0016 in Belgium French language expanded at the expense of Dutch. Dutch people have to learn French but not vice a versa. It's good that Germans are fiercely nationalist about their language that's why French didn't expand at the expense of German. It's good that Germans are reluctant to learn French unlike Dutch people who have to learn French
@@Alias_Anybody Oh no, we don't use English to communicate. Either our job/life requires us to know the other language (and then we obviously do), or we barely have any contact with the other language region at all.
You have to understand, every Kanton ("state") of Switzerland is very individual, there's different taxes and school systems for example. We are not a centralized state and there are significant divides between the three main language regions.
@@NikhilGupta-jw3ob French in Switzerland was never in danger of expanding or repressing German, nor the other way around. And simply acquiring language skills doesn't endanger your own language. What you're describing sounds like a political problem of Belgium (the government favoring one language) that we don't have in Switzerland. We Swiss just don't like learning French/German because it's HARD.
@@stargazer0016 you are right in general learning another language doesn't endanger your language but in Belgium French expanded at the expense of Dutch. E.g. Brussels was a Dutch city now it's mostly French city. Lot of people who's grandparents spoke Dutch speak French today (and they don't understand Dutch).
Huh, as a dutch person (The Netherlands) I understood the swiss girl. The swiss-german dialect sounds kind of like a dutch dialect. And the austrian girl was easier to understand than the german girl
Im Dutch too, I have also often found it to be easier to understand Austrian and Swiss German. I don't know why exactly.
Same here. Initially I thought it was danish with a funny (funnier) accent. I could completely follow what she was saying. Which I can also do with Danish but not German (I'm from Friesland).
Dutch too, Swiss sounded surprisingly like German mixed with a Scandinavian language. Never knew it was so different to "normal" German before this video
As a dutchman i was suprised how close to dutch she was speaking ..
That’s because Dutch and Swiss German are more phonetically conservative than Standard German
I'm glad you bring relatively educated and well-traveled Americans on your show.

I really like this channel, but as an Austrian I have to say one thing - Austria is misrepresented in this video, because Austrian dialects are so different from high german, it´s not just pronounciation, we have many words that does not exist in high german and just like swiss german most germans won´t understand austrian dialects while austrians would understand germans perfectly. But even if all of that was covered in the video, you simply cannot define THE austrian dialect, because there are so many. Austrian german also is more of a spoken language, just like swiss german, there are no actual rules how to write the words, you just write them how you say /feel them, because of this you won´t find written austruan german in restaurants etc, with some exceptions, for example if you order a very regional product, there are chances that they still have the original name in that specific dialect.
As a German, I can tell you that it is A LOT easier to understand Austrian than Suiss-German.
@@moritz1932 Beside the western most part where Alemannic dialects are spoken, Bavarian dialects are spoken in Austria. If you understand them better then Swiss-German then either you live in Bavaria or have at least been exposed more to Bavarian dialects then to the Alemannic dialects where the Swiss dialects are part of. It might also be the case that the Austrians toned down their dialect so they can be better understood.
I speak an Alemannic dialect and standard German. Still, it can be very hard for me to understand these Bavarian dialects if the speaker does not tones it down. On the other hand of course Swiss dialects are a lot easier to understand for me.
U know in Austria speakd GERMAN GERMAN because it was taken over by germany
@@reneevansteenbergen1558what 💀
@@moritz1932i agree as a bavarian most dialects in austria aren’t too hard to understand but ofc they have some words we are not familiar with/ stronger dialects that would make it harder also :)

"Ich heisse xy" oder "ich bin xy Jahre alt" ist wohl auch sehr einfach zu verstehen, in jeder Sprache 😂 Zudem kommt sie aus Bern, genau der Dialekt der dafür bekannt ist seeehr langsam gesprochen zu werden. Woher kommst du aus Deutschland?
I understand swiss army knift well :D
I understood it partly. (also am from Germany though )
My moms dad was from Switzerland so she would talk about him a lot ,single words that were different and some sentences he said a lot/that she remembers.
As a German coming from Dortmund (so not used to allemanic dialects) but living now in Konstanz i dont understand any of those allemanic. Not the village dialects of the region. And swiss also. But i have the same with bavarian or austrian.
Somebody from the USA on this channel in the leading role that knows a bit more of the world AND is better in languages. Nice!
Once Americans move out of their country they become as intelligent as other humans. Mostly.
As an austrian i can understand swiss german but it just sounds off somehow but not in a bad way. Its just not what im used to
Yeah same, Voralberg dialect is similar
That's cos it's a different Dialect group. Swiss, Vorarlberg and southern Baden-Württemberg (like Swabian) are Alemanic Dialect, while Austria and southern Bavaria are Bavarian(-Austrian) Dialect.
i vasteh d, schweizer aa einigermaßen.
Same here, even as a Swiss I didn’t realise I could understand it right away
This is a really nice video. What is really cool is that Nessa is a quintessential American. She's adorable.
Switzerland and Austria were tough. If they hadn't already had a German girl, I would have guessed German for the Austrian girl. She was probably being a little cautious about using her local dialect, wanting to avoid derogatory comments. The Swiss girl was like, "If I use my dialect, no one outside of West-Central Europe will guess where I'm from."
The swiss girl wasn‘t trying to trick anyone swiss people, at least in the german part always communicate in local dialect.
In Austria and Germany it‘s much more common to restrict dialect with the closest family and friends while in switzerland it has socialy an equal status to standard german.
Swiss german is a prime example of a diglossy.
@@Slithermotion It's a game, everything is for fun, they're trying to make it not easy. It's all fair.
They had an Austrian girl from Vorarlberg a while ago that caught all kinds of scheiß from other Austrians for using her dialect. I don't blame the Austrian girl for using Hoch Deutsch.
Switzerland is a tough guess no matter what. They could speak French. Schweizer Deutsch from Bern is extra tough for an American.
You have a German name. For you to guess Austria/Germany should not be difficult
@@NikhilGupta-jw3ob If only you knew how pathetic my German is, it's a work in progress. But yeah, regular German and simple Dutch I can sort of follow along with.
@@EddieReischl Your surname looks like it could be from Austria or Bavaria. The ending with l instead of el is typical for Austria and Bavaria.
I also can't undestand german from Switzerland 😂, i'm used to hear from Germany, the original, and also Austrian German, but Switzerland is always a hard time, Belgium is so easy to guess
The German of Switzerland sounds very similar to Dutch even more than German from Germany if you would ask me as a Dutchie
@@Ama94947 Except that Switzer-German have taken part of the consonant shifts together with the other southern German dialects, and Dutch together with the other northern German dialects not. Switzer-German is southern German with a strong Allemanic dialect (much stronger than Swabian). The origin of Dutch is also not Allemanic, but Low Franconia.
@@12tanuha21: For me , being swabian, the version of Swiss German used in lower parts of Switzerland is better understandable, and the version of Swiss German, used in TV is also basicly a very old Version of Swabian dialect. But when old rural Swiss persons speak, i understand nothing, even being a descendant of Alemannic tribe too.
Me coming from more of the north of Germany I have also real trouble understanding Swiss German. It sounds pretty funny, but often I can‘t understand a thing
I first thought that it was either a very unclear dialect of German, Luxembourgish or Danish. I quickly eliminated Luxembourgish due to the lack of French elements and the fact that the accent didn't sound as close to Dutch as Luxembourgish does. And then I realized that Danish has some sounds influenced from English, which I didn't hear here, so it had to be Swiss German. Initially I thought it was Danish, because it sounded a bit Nordic to me, but it couldn't be Swedish, Norwegian or Icelandic, because I knew those are further away from German than Danish is. By the way, I'm Dutch and can understand German, but I didn't understand much of what the Swiss woman said.
Chosen the smartest American they could find to do this video hahaha. She actually knows her stuff!
So we have a german speaker, a german speaker, a german speaker, a dutch speaker and a dutch speaker, yes ofcourse those are 5 languages
The Swiss girl thinks she's special for having cherry blossoms 😂 Literally every European country that l've ever been to has them on every street 😂😂
Really? I don‘t think I can recall ever seeing them in Europe. Which countries did you see them in?
yeah, that was confusing to me as well, like we have cherry trees in our garden and it's considered quite normal. (Austria)
Yes, but not from Japan
cherry blossoms is a specific japanese tree, not the normal european cherry tree.
@@hoi-zeme-500 Lmao, I KNOW that it's not a normal cherry tree 😂 Every single town in Germany has cherry blossom trees, even the smaller towns. My entire street is completely filled with like 200 cherry blossom trees and it's just an average street in a medium-sized town. We have absolute gazillions of them all over Germany.
I've also seen plenty in France, Austria, UK etc.

Belgium speaks Dutch, French and German.
After WW1 there were few German towns on the Belgian side.
It has remained that way to this day.
Belgium got that territory as compensation for WW1 damages. Of course some of those ex-Germans wanted to return to the Reich but after Adolf and his one-way tickets to the Eastern front they changed their mind.
It's true that German is also a belgian language, but all the cities that were given to Belgium after WW1 did not remain in Belgium after WW2.
For instance, the city of Kelmis has an even weirder history, as it was neutral before WW1.
I used to go to Sankt Vith on holiday with my parents. The German speaking part of Belgium is such a beautiful place to visit!
My hometown is Kelmis and I work in Eupen.
Therefore, i know the area pretty well. I even made some Video to explain it. ... but it's in german.
@@remidogger5472 I remember Vielsalm, where an uncle is buried. He only spent the few last months/years of his life there, far away from his home.

I am Hessian and I understood everything she said in her Swiss German dialect.
Austria has in fact only two dialect groups, Bavarian and Alemannic (Vorarlberg), Germany has multiple different dialect groups, so many more than Austria.
Austrian dialects devolde within each region of austria drastically. I know some folks from Känten who just cannot understand my lower austrian, while viennese dialects usually include a lot more loaneords than styrian and tyrolian has a very interesting way to pronounce ch and sch. Thats why austria is considered more diverse than germany, at least according to dialects. Way back in the 70s and 80s Vienna had at least one dialect for every Bezirk, so over 20 dialects alone in our Capital.
@@domsenic5548 every region where dialects are spoken daily have this. The dialect from my mum from Spessart is different in every village. It's not a think of Austria. It's a thing of the last 300 years of New High German, especially with the different vowel changes. Where in Standard is [ ai ] spoken, it is /eu/ in her dialect. But while Bavarian, Alemannic have still the diphthongs of Old High German, you say liab for lieb. In Swiss it's liëb. And a lot of Alemannic also have retained the full sounding vowels in unaccented syllables. liebä Lütä mäd Zungon sprächä.
But still, all dialects in Austria belong to the Barbarian dialect continuum, except Vorarlberg.
Wir haben schon in Braunfels, drei verschiedene hessische Dialekte.
Neben Platt im ältesten Teil „Sankt Georgen“ wird beim Schlossring ein Hochdeutsch Hessisch Mix gesprochen und im Rest einfach das Standard Hessisch aus dem Lahn Dill Kreis.

Actually, in Belgium they speak three languages : Dutch, French and German. They speak Dutch in the northern part of Belgium, French is spoken in the south and in the East a small number of Belgian speak German, close to the German border.

There used to be many different dialects in the Netherlands too, but everything is going back to a more Randstad (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag and Utrecht) dialect, so the others are kind of dying. Like in my Dutch friend's birthplace, the dialect would often be so heavy and unrecognisable that if her parents were to speak it in any other city, they would not be understood, but if she tried it, it would be some hybrid of Randstad dialect and her local dialect
Belgium is no languages.....and Belgium has official 3 Languages. Flemish ( Netherlands with an accent) , France, and German
Actually, Flemish is not a language. The official languages of Belgium are Dutch, France and German.
As a Swiss from Zurich I can say that she has a strong accent
I am amazed on the american girl. Way above expectations. Smart woman.
It’s a shame we didn’t hear the accent of the Austrian girl!
She `s been speaking with a perfect austrian accent. But she avoided her local dialect as she said.
@@powidlkm exactly, and I wish we could have heard her local dialect
@@MLWitteman agree lol
Funfact: English is germanic language too..
13:17 There are definitely more different accents in Germany than in Austria. Some oft them are actually are whole language of it's own like Low German or the Frisian languages. I can understand that she thinks Austria has more, because in the whole south of Germany there is only East Franconian German like in Austria and Swabian German .
As a South Tyrolean (former region of Austria) who has met many Germans from all over Germany I wouldn’t be so sure. Austrians just typically speak in Standard German whenever they meet Germans. I‘m from the city which means my dialect isn‘t as strong but even so most Germans I meet can‘t understand one sentence I say and in my region alone there are multiple dialects that even I can‘t understand. (I can understand most German dialects and a lot of Swiss German)

2.) in Österreich gibt es derartig viele regionale Mundarten und Ortsdialekte, dass es nicht ungewöhnlich ist, dass der nächste Nachbarort ein paar Kilometer weiter bereits einen anderen Dialekt hat. (Dürfte vielleicht daran liegen, dass traditionell durch die Abgeschiedenheit in den Bergen leichter unterschiedliche Varianten entstehen konnten. Mittlerweile gehen auch in Österreich die Dialekte zurück.) Insofern gibt es so eine Liste an Dialekten gar nicht -> es sind zu viele.
I think she meant it differently than you guys assume. She didn't mean that Austria has a larger spectrum or total amount of dialects, but that a far larger amount of the population, percentage wise, actually speaks their dialect daily. And that there are more per square kilometer, probably.
In Germany, it's basically socially acceptable to bully and mock anyone who speaks any dialect mercilessly. It goes as far as people being proud of not understanding them, even though that realistically means their own vocabulary is lacking.
She did better than I initially thought.
It's surprising how she didn't knew people in Austria speak German. When I was her age I knew it bcz Austrian painter's native language was German and just like him most Austrian people spoke German.

They didn't even mention how the Dutch girl had a southern accent! Usually they can tell by the g-sound where we're from, maybe they picked a southern person on purpose.
She probably couldn't hear that, because she didn't say a word with a g in it. For us dutchies is easier to tell the difference, but it's harder for people who don't speak dutch. I grew up in a village near Eindhoven and we have a pretty hard southern dialect there. I honestly didn't even notice the girl was from the south. Had to listen twice after I read your comment.
@@zoetjez She said she is zevenentwintiG years old ;) I'm from the same area as you, and at first I didn't notice she's from the south either. I only noticed after rewatching it. Her accent is pretty mild compared to the Kempisch I'm used to.
@@zoetjez "Ik ben zevenentwintiG jaar" though
The non Gooise R
I'm surprised! That was actually really good!
Americans dip their fries in mayo all the time but we just combine it with ketchup. Called Fry Sauce in some places as well
English is also a Germanic language so it is sometimes easier to guess all these other ones
7:47 Round 4 was so weird to me. I understood most of it and I was like, is this a weird dialect of Dutch?
Yeah as a swiss person when hearing dutch it always feels like i dont uderstand my own language because we pronounce this similarity sometimes
She looks so NICE!
What a lovely young lady(the American), I like her demeanor.
She's very open to learning as this video shows, she's a smart girl.
Warm greetings from the Netherlands. 😊🌷
1. I WAS RIGHT
2. I WAS SUPER RIGHT
3. HOW WOULD I NOT BE RIGHT I LIVE IN BELGIUM ALSO I DO NOT MEAN I WAS NOT RIGHT CUZ I WAS RIGHT
4. I WAS RIGHT AGAIN
5. ALL RIGHT
Funny how the austrian didn’t speak her dialect and the Swiss did
yo she is smart.
WHERE ARE MY DUTCHIES 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Sorry but there are also totally different dialects in Germany. I'm from upper Bavaria and I don't understand people from lower Bavaria, Baden and Swabia and that's just the Southern part. And of course I have trouble understanding people from Austria and Switzerland too
My favourite language "Belgian"... also Austrian and Swiss are just different dialects to German, the same way as Plattdeutsch would be...
Never saw an young american knowing so much about other countries. Impressive!
Many do. It's just very common to bash and meme on the USA so people usually actively search for the uneducated ones for entertainment.
@@redram6080 Well there are on average more "uneducated" american than in north and western europe. I worked 2 years in Greenville, SC. Great people, fun to hang out with, but a lot of questions were crazy to me 😅
@@Slippy6582 I'm sure you can send proof right?
@@redram6080 First hand experience... If you would read my comment. And proof sure, use Google... I think you are able to do it by yourself. And education is not equal to knowledge. A lot of americans do not know the world outside their country and even americans say it themselves. But you got your opinion and i am not here to convince you even though there is enough evidence and stats, i know those kinda ppl. Have a good one!
@@redram6080 Comments get deleted including a link, otherwise i would do it. Google it... And education is not equal to knowledge about geography, other cultures and basic knowledge. Some questions from americans, because i am from Germany: Do you still live in dictatorship? What language do you speak in Germany? I think these two alone are proof enough... And a lot of daily work, i had to teach them, it blew my mind...
They technically all speak a germanic language.
6:22 technically we have 3 languages in Belgium. But given that the German speaking Oostkantons only have 80K inhabitants, I can understand not having heard that
shes incredible for an american
1:07 Immediately heard the german
In Belgium we speak 3 languages: dutch, french, and german but the German part of Belgium is not known as much which is why it's more important for people from the flemish(dutch) side of Belgium to learn french than german.. in some schools you are forced to learn german, in some schools it's just an option and in some schools they just don't care haha(idk why I just dropped this information but thought it was fun to know
Team Belgium ❤❤❤ I'm from Belgium ❤❤❤
Missed the opportunity to really confuse her by bringing the german, swiss and austrian girl out together and let them say the same thing ;D
This girl alone restored more of my faith in the US than they destroyed by themselves over the last decades lol.
That being said, love this channel, love to learn, love the concept of a universal language being depicted on this channel all the time, cool video, greetings from northern Germany!
10:40 my family (on my moms side) is from Basel Switzerland !! 🇨🇭🇨🇭they speak fluent Swiss German
belgium has three main languages (german, dutch, french) and speaks/learn four ( german, dutch, french and english)
Döner was invented in Berlin. It's a commom misconception because it was invented by a man with a turkish immigration background
More of this, please!!!!! 🇳🇱🇩🇪
Yes😊
Doner is "invented" in Germany by Turkish emigrants, so it's from Germany.
Yes, the original Kebab from Turkey and Greece is not prepared like the Döner
made BY TURKISH immigrants so its turkish.
@@NovaNova11. Made in Germany, so German :D
@@ravanpee1325 Nope :D if i bring french fries to korea it doesnt make them korean fries. use your head, doner is turkish and will always be turkish
@@NovaNova11. How many Korean immigrants invented something in Japan and it's still japanese..look at your Math Olympics team and you might get it :D
its surprising that they got a German with blond hair and not a Dutch girl with blond hair lol
If you are speaking to a girl and you have to look up, it's a Dutch girl. No matter how tall you are.
@@flitsertheo I am Dutch and no thats not always the case. In fact women from Lithuania are a couple of CM taller then our Dutch women. we have the tallest men on average but the second tallest women in the world on average.
Another special thing about Swiss German is that it is a mix of all kinds of languages (especially German, French, Italian and English). What I find strange is that some English words that are used in exactly the same way in Swiss German are further removed from English in standard German.
Here some examples (left is German, middle is English, right is Swissgerman)
Alle - all - all
Sommer - summer - Summer
Unter - under - under
Aufzug - Lift - Lift
Ik ben nederlands ook it means i am netherlands (dutch) to
I am also Austrian. Our language is different in each federal state, but we also speak standard German at school, in church and at some modern events. However, among the family and also in the home environment we speak in the respective country and homeland dialects. I, for example, am currently practicing old Austrian German again. some young people don't even know one anymore (Paradeiser = tomato).

Same though with German dialects. We spoke in our dialect exclusively even in school. just not very official and fancy settings, ordering at a fancy restaurant or doing official business like things outside of your town. Many students couldn’t even switch to standard German if our a level teachers wanted us to for presentations.
Bro
Germany swiss and austia all speek german and the netherlands an belgium both speak dutch
And dutch and german look a lot like eachther
People thought I was Dutch once, just speaking my Saarland dialect in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. They couldn’t understand me. So the Austria dialect thing isn’t specific to Austria alone.
The first guess by looking does not make any sense when they do not look like the inhabitants looked 50 years ago. The girl from Belgium has her ancestors in Vietnam and the girl from Switzerland also has obviously ancestors from elsewhere.
Belgium actually has three official languages. 0,7 per cent of Belgians that live on the border to Germany (German Speaking Community) are native soeakers of German. That's why it's made official. Bearing in mind that in reality it's a tiny part of the population (increased by Germans living in Belgium), it's not that relevant on the whole. The Arabic speaking population is higher and possibly from other countries, too.
It would have been more interesting to feature a variety of European nationalities. This is simply the same group of people from the other video, all from the same part of Europe. Also, the title doesn't make any sense and doesn't match the content of the video.
I am 3/4 netherlands (Brabants), but I am 1/4 Belgisch
Belgies en Nederlands is het zelfde
i just clicked, because i saw uzbekistan flag;)
Its great they know my dutch culture.
I was super impressed by the American, she is obviously well traveled and knows a lot.
7:48 it sounds like the Swiss girl is speaking Afrikaans!!
I live in Belgium and I have currently 7 different condiments in my fridge. I thought that was normal...
Ik ben Nederland: i em Nederland we is Nederland like ❤😊
Bedoel je I am nederlands we nederland
Ja
Ik kan niet goed Engels 😅
Hey it's been over 7 moths since the last Slavic person appeared in a video, could we get someone again? 🙂
I'm from belguim but I can speak English so I understand you
