"the strangest country in Europe " il take it as a compliment
Few others would like to talk about it 😆. I think we can agree that the general area known as "central Europe" is one big hot pot
"Stan Lee being Romanian."
Honestly we gave a lot to this unfair world.
Stan lee was not Romanian...he was American...born and raised..came from Jewish Romanian parents

Dracula comes from devil and dragon because his dad was part of the dragon order(christian)
Drac, Draco or dracon means dragon. Only |recently| it has been made synonym with the devil . Do a etymology search of the word and you will see that to be true. Latin origin word.
Dracula comes from dracu, dracu meant dragon in old romanian and dracula meant son of the dragon, in New romanian dracu means devil
In Dutch, we call:
Romania = 'Roemenië'
Wallachia = 'Wallachije'
Moldavia = 'Moldavië' (We also call the country of Moldova 'Moldavië')
Transilvania = 'Transilvanië'
Moldova and Moldavia are the same in Romanian as well. We call them both "Moldova". One is the republic, the other is a region of Romania.
Basically 2 halves of the bigger historical Principality of Moldova.
Rumunia, Walachia, Mołdawia, Transylwania in Polish
@@bgggsht Transilvania is called in Polish as ''Transylwania'' or ''Siedmiogród'', calqued from German ''Siebenbürgen'' (i.e. Seven fortifications).
Wallachia is called ''Wołoszczyzna'' and Moldavia (incl. today's Republic of Moldova, which historically was/is mostly called Bessarabia) is called ''Mołdawia'' in modern Polish, but... from cc. 14th century, the first territorial contacts between Romanians and Polish, untill 19th century, so-called today Wallachia was called in Polish as ''Ziemia Multańska'' or simply/shorter ''Multany'', and Moldavia/Moldova as ''Ziemia Wołoska'' or simply/shorter ''Wołochy''.
Among many others, Miron Costin (Polish: Miron Kostyn), a 17th century Romanian and Polish political figure/chronicler/writer, writing in Polish, has stated that the ''Wołosi''/''Wołochowie'' call themselves [in their own language] as ''Rumyny''.
7:12 Actually Vlad the Impaler was born in Transylvania at Sighișoara. The name Dracula come from his father Vlad II Dracul which was a member of the Order of the Dragon. The Dragon name was mispronounced in romanian so it become Dracul (The Devil). Also the Dragon, Balaur (in romanian) it's a scary creature asociated with evil in the romanian mythology.

Actually whole Dobrogea, more than half of Wallachia and about half of today's Rep. of Moldova were part of Roman Empire BEFORE Dacia was conquered by Romans.
Because of Russia's strategical interest in Moldova, the LIE that the Romans never were in Moldova is very spread, firstly among Romania's Slavic neighbours, then taken over by others superficially ''informed'' people.
As solid undisputed evidence of Roman presence, there are two long Roman defensive walls in today's Rep. of Moldova, ''Valul lui Traian de Sus'' and ''Valul lui Traian de Jos'', which in Soviet time were drastically destroyed by excuse of farming land need, but in fact, it was a Russian need to swipe out any others than Slavic, especially Roman traces in the Russian occupied Romanian territories (Bessarabia).

I don't really know why gipsies are called "rroma". They are gipsies, not romanians, the italians call them "gitano", we call them "țigani" (pronounced as tzigani) which, in romanian means gipsies. From this people it comes also the infamous music style called "manele" (a very bad copy of tge balkanic nice music, with texts about money, enemies and other stuff like that). Good video. Best wishes from București, România.
I loved your explanation of "manele"
Gypsies are called politically "rroma".
The word ''Rroma'' in Gyspy language simply means ''Husband/Man'', it is NOT an ethnic name/ethnonym for Gypsies.
The word ''Rromani'' is an adjective in Gypsy, not in English language.
The Gypsies have not a sole ethnonym. They call themselves [in their language] as Cale~Kale, Sinti, Bosha etc.
I sent messages to the PM and President of Romania to open the debate if we should call Rroma differently.
I hope we see some movement in this political field
I learned Roma actually have roots in India and they migrated to Europe
@@ira233 gypsyes are descendants of two indian groups that migrated at different times from India, the Sinti and the Roma.

Transilvania is actualy a latin word. "Silva" in latin means forest. O and the flag meaning is more like: blue for skie that means our freedom and dreams, yellow for wheat thats the main food, and read is for blood from the dead peopel that ware heros for the romanians.
Asta a fost propaganda comunista într-adevăr el spune adevărul faza cu cerul albastru granele și sângele vărsat sa inventat în perioada comunista

@@cristiandanielcotoi995 da, ''adevarul'' de pe wikipedia probabil.
Beyond ”silva”, the funny thing is that ”pădure”/forest is also a latin originated word from ”padule-padulem” which meant also forest, but marsh too. And now u know ;)
Transivania was a autonomous region guaranteed by the hungarian kingdoom. Even so all the censuses(made by hungary ) reveald that over 60 percent of the population was romanian, the rest hungarians , germans etc.By 1300 s they haved lows that obligated all the nobles to be hungarian , german or sekey and chatolic if they wanted to be recognized as noble(in trio natiorum) Even so at the 1918 unification with romania transilvania was over 60% romanian on ""hungarian statistics "" even if for one thousend years no romanian schools, no rights for romanians etc. and here we are . What i mean is that moldavians , walachians and transilvanians where talking the same language have the same religion the same customs and now they are together in one country (less bassarabia). I am romanian and maybe i am subjective but i respect that
this is true
The more you feel week the more you want the others to call you the name you want to be called. Greeks would like to be called Hellens, Germans are called Alamans, Tedeschi, Nemtzi while they call themselves Deutschen, Romanians are the only ones who show the Hungarians the courthesy to call them Magyars. But this will never works, you are what the others see in you. The solution is to change your "surname" in "renoun" (A schimba porecla in renume). Which means making the others to show respect when they call a gypsy "tzigan"
... not a region, but a principality, a political entity.

Romanian is about 10% slavic and 88% latin. Also for every slsvic word we have a latin word, like we say mortia or morte instead of lesh
Cadavru, not "morte". Moarte means death.

ur, knowledge is fantastic, learned a few things as a Romanian from u, and u had an amazing reaction btw ;) keep it up :D
I ve never heard about the word 'leș'. Maybe its very old. We mainly call it 'cadavru' which is a latin word.
Leș e folosit mai mult la animale, și cadavre la oameni
@Ionas Vasile a, ok, scuza-ma pe mine mane
Fun fact, it's also an alternative name that used to be used for the Polish, we called them 'leși'.
i guess thats the Ottoman influence.since both the words leş(literally same in every way)and kadavra(cadavru is kadavra in Turkish) are turkish.Well,they might be originated from Arabic or Persian tbh but still it probably pass from Ottoman to balkans and Romania etc.Unless its otherwise of course,but i doubt it.
also, cineva nu prea a citit in generala. cam in toate basmele si povstile romanesti, e folosit cuvanul les. dar da, nu e folosit in limba de zic cu zi in ziua de azi
Merry Christmas Mirzad!
yea,also the "kidnapping wife"i can call it a balkanic thing.
Ceausescu didn't bankrupt the country, he did the opposite; he got Romania out of debt. He didn't want Romania to be controlled by foreign powers (including the USSR) and so he payed off Romania's national debt. This was the problem! In order to repay the national debt, he essentially impoverished the country, rationing off electricity, food and supplies just so he can say that Romania was free of debt. He was economically illiterate. The people were starving and suffering because of this. Regarding the building of the parliament building, he recruited thousands of people to build it who were "paid" but it was essentially slave wages. They were forced to work.
What about the Romanija region from Bosnia-Hertzegovina? It was inhabited, like most of former Yugoslavia, until 15-16 century by vlachs. They are along with albanians and greeks(south of Larissa) the native peoples of the Balkans. I am vlach and i am proud to be a part of this ancient, native comunity.
There were many romanic languages all over the balkans and even in the pannonian basin. There still are big populations of romance speaking people south of the Danube. They are called aromanians, they tried to have there own statal organisation but they couldn't. One of their cities was Moscopole in present day Albania, but it was overrun by other people, probably slavs or greeks. There was also dalmatian, a language more closely related to italian, somewhere in the region where you live.
[exactly] South of the Danube live ROMANIANS, called by Serbians as ''Vlachs'', which is old, exonym for Romanians. The ''Romance-speaking people'' you wrote they are called ''aromanians'' linguistically are Romanians too, living around Pindus Mountains in ex-Roman diocese of Macedonia, that's why they are called also Macedo-Romanians.
The city of Moscopole in present day Albania was overrun by Muslim Albanians.
Dalmatian became closer to Venetian, not to Italian, because Venetia controlled the coast of present-day Croatia and Muntenegru, the local Romance-speaking population, known much later as Dalmatian, was ''Venetianized''.
I like your commentary, relevant and pretty spot on.
You know, even though romans did not stepped into Basarabia and Transnistria (between Bug and Nistru), when the russians took it from the Ottoman Empire, the major ethnik group were the wallachians with over 50%, this percentage diminishing in the next 100 years to 25% and now 10-15%.
Yeah we need a compilation of your intros
They are epic
About Sarma,yes,i think also is a balkanic thing,you find it in Serbia,Bosnia,some parts of Bulgaria,all ROmania,ofc,north part of Macedonia,and north of Greece as well.but since Romania was the 1st to claim it as national dish,well,you get my point

And also, Vlad Impaler, the ''Dracula'', wasn't a count, but a PRINCE, although with much greater political attributions than a simple Western Europe ''prince'' title.
not prince, but Vioevod (or commonly Voda), which at the time meant both ruler of the army and administrative ruler.
@@macaroane ''Voievod'' equals the ''duke'', i.e. [army] ruler/leader/commander.
The proper highest title for Romanian Principalities' rulers, in addition to lower one called ''voievod'', was ''gospodar'' (in Old Slavic) and ''domn[itor]'' (in Romanian), inherited from Latin ''DOMINus''/''DOMINATOR'', which in Middle Ages in given area was generally [seen as] a title higher than a [Western European] prince and lower than a [Western European] king.
yes,in 1884 Timisoara became the 1st european city to have electric lights on it's streets
Actually you are right historically the province belonged to Hungary for some 800 years but more than 60 % of the population was Romanian and had no political rights, and were mostly always surfs. We even have 2 words for Transilvania(this one which is from Latin, and it means over the forests as you said) and Ardeal(which also means over the forests but it is derived from Hungarian)
There is a good joke about slavic influence over romanian language and culture:
- Romanians are latins?
- DA!
I can't remember last time I've seen or used the word "leș". We usually use the word "cadavru" to describe the body of a deceased human or animal.
more commonly used is mort (dead person, kid of like using body in English when talking about a deceased person), cadavru is used in ,ore formal situations, same as cadaver is used in English
In pruncie am auzit prima data folosinduse sintagma "Țara Leșilor", care aparent, era populata de "leși". Mi sa parut atat de ciudat, ca l-am si intrebat pe profesorul de istorie "cine sunt "leșii" ?" Mi-a spus ca asa le ziceam noi, pe vremuri, polonezilor. Imediat neuronii au facut conexiunea: "polonezi zombie" îmbracați în roșu-alb. 😁.

9:40 Transylvania never belonged to Hungary. From around 997-1038 when Stephen I of Hungary united all hungarian tribes till 1526 when Hungary disapear as a state, when they lost to ottomans at Mohács and become turkish Eyalet, Transylvania was an autonomous principality. After 1699 Hungary as well as Transylvania become part of Habsburg Empire till 1918.

This is the true story. Bravo!
We don't use that word "leș". I didn't even know what it is, we say "cadavru".
it is possible in Banat that they may use les since there are many serbians there.
never read any Romanian stories of tales? (basme si povesti) the word les is used in all. and more likely you say mort mort or mortaciune for dead people respectively animals. pretty sure you use cadavru when speaking in more formal circumstances, just the same as using the English cadaver
Actually the Roman Dacia wasn’t such a small part of the country we know today. It was like a half of the size of Romania. But it included small parts of Serbia and Hungary too.
Dobruja had already been part of the Roman Empire for decades. (Before the Romans even conquered Dacia)
Then there was almost half of Transylvania under Roman rule. Hence the name of one of our big cities Cluj Napoca. It used to be called Napoca back in the day. Wallachia was almost half Roman, mostly Oltenia. I think there is still some significant sort of Italic DNA heritage over there. But still overall most of Romanians (and Oltenians, those living in Oltenia) are genetically Balkan. Schools over here tell us that we are some Roman-Dacian mix, but genetically we aren’t as “Roman” as we might think. DNA results show that about 85-90% of the country has been more or less genetically Balkan in the last centuries.
That still doesen't make Romanians "Slavic" if they where there should show parts of Asia in the DNA, even a part of Italy is in the Balkans.
I learned at school in Canada back in the day that the only thing "Slavic" about Romanians are some of the traditions that is shared between the neighbours wich is normal. Also in Spain is something like in Romania that dresses with mask and stuff to scare the evil and I can thell that the masks look quite similar.
There is a significant portion of "Mediterranean DNA" in our genome, alluding to the fact that we have some direct "Italian" ethnicity, but for the most part we Romanians seem to be most related to the rest of our neighbors. This doesn't mean we aren't all Roman though, because there was no such thing as "Roman" ethnicity. Being Roman meant being a Roman citizen, and that has nothing to do with Italy. Roman citizenship was granted to all freemen withing the Roman empire. So we are Roman because we kept referring to ourselves as Roman citizens throughout our history, and we kept speaking a language that came from Latin.
Dacia was biger then todays Romania actualy before the Roman impare, it was a barbaric land and it wasnt realy delimitaded becouse nobody realy knowed the contry they only know the dacians on the cost of the Black Sea becaus that was a reagion they had economic interest in.

In Romanian "dracul" means "the devil" not "dragon". Very enjoyable video, BTW! I love Romania and I also love Bosnian people.
Actually, in the Middle Ages the Romanian language was more slavic influenced, and that is why the word "drac" meaned dragon, that time and not "the devil", like today.
@@OrolesMagnus how you know what meaning was in the past???In Slavic languages Dragon is neologism and have nothing to do with Middle ages
Actually the word “dragon” comes from the word “draco” which was the Dacian and later Sarmatian and Roman (late empire) battle standard (a wolf’s head with the body of a serpent on top of a spear). In the 4th and 5th centuries the Roman armies popularised this symbol across the empire. In the west it became “dragon”, whereas in the territories inhabited by Daco-Romanians it changed its meaning due to the influence of the Church, who assimilated the image of “draco” to the devil.

The name Transilvania doesn't mean [in Latin] ''Over the forest'' or ''Through the forest'.

Spectacular comments, man. You are impressing me already and Im only at about 1/3 of the video. You are indeed a history buff, like Id love to think about myself, especially since I consider myself a history buff of Europe in general and even the world, maybe more of the ancient world and also, to my shame, very little still about the history and dynamics of the african countries. Too bad, but we are improving, right? :)
I should mention also that I visited Bosnia-H a few years ago and I was very impressed with it and not just with the spectacular natural beauty. I loved Sarajevo and I was very impressed(and still am) with its drama during the... lets say in general: the terrible, bloody and pointless yugoslavian internal(civil) war :(
The real name of Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Țepeș / Vlad III) was Vlad Drăculea (or Dracula). He was the second son of Vlad Dracul (dracul = the devil). "Dracul, Drăculea or Dracula" doesn't mean "Dragon" , mean "The Devid" from "Hell".

The two-head-eagle "whatever" was the emblem of the Eastern Roman Empire(Byzantine Empire which lasted another 1k years after the fall of the Rome, around 470 AD) and, after the fall of Constantinopole(1453), Russia claimed it had the right to be the 3rd Rome(after the 1st Rome, 2nd Rome-Constantinopole and 3rd-Moscow)... but all for Christianity in general, russians say, and especially for Eastern Orthodox religion. So thats why Russia still uses today the 2-headed eagle, a former Roman and, especially later, a very strong Byzantine symbol :)
and was the imperial russian coat of arms.

actually his father was part of a knight order called the order of the Dragon in Transylvania, whose mission statement was to get rid of the Turks in Europe. He was called Vlad II Dracul(which means of the order of the Dragon), his son Vlad III was called Draculea or Dracula as the westerners know him meaning son of the Dragon, but from the 15th century the meaning of the word shifted in Romania an drac transformed from dragon to demon
Romania aka Dacia was very attractive,because of it's place.was almost all the time in between empires.the ottomans were at south,then the romans at west,the slavics and nomads at east,teutonics and germans on north,so basicly Dacia was an interesting place to have at those times if you wanted something on the back of other empires
Mures river is the largest INland river he said.meaning it doesn t end in the sea.Danube is the bigest river in Romania,but is not inland,meaning it ends up in the black sea
Romans only ocuppied 14% of our terittory so they did not wanted to colonize us, they actually wanted our Gold (Apuseni mountains) our wood and our salt resources. Dacian and latin were sister languages most probably.
Lovely reaction , I can clearly see that you are have a lot of knowledge.
Greetings from a romanian !
Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Țepeș or Vlad Dracu, Dracu means devil, dragon) was born in Transilvania.
A little correction and a historical detail that even most Romanians don't know: "Dracula" doesn't mean "dragon" it actually doesn't mean anything in modern day Romanian. "Dracula" is composed of the word "Drac(u)" and the suffix "la" which in Old Church Slavonic that was spoken in those times (as well as in some modern slavic languages, if im not mistaken) shows a Genitive, in this case "of Dracu" that meant "the son of Dracu(l)". Vlad the Impaler's father, who was also a Valachian ruler yet less famous was called "Vlad Dracul" because he was a member of the Dragon's order of the King of Hungary. Hence his son was called Vlad Dracula - Vlad the son of Dracul (son of the dragon).

Dude you are wrong about Transylvania belonged to Hungary maybe vassal but never was part of Hungary Kingdom funny sometime they even fought each other ; Kingdom of Hungary was fucked in 1526 at Mohacs by Ottoman Empire later conquered and transformed in Eyalet of Buda after that Hungary was a region of Austrian Empire we have Hungary today thanks to peace treaty signed in 1920 the famous Trianon which Hungary today try to denounce it :) quite funny because this will imply state of war with almost all neighbour states; the borders between states was ratified with this treaty .; the only time part of Transylvania was part of Hungary was after Hitler Dictate from Vienna in 1940 not even then Hungary had all Transylvania under her rule .

The name "Dracula" (Romanian for dragon) comes from the Order of the Dragon. Vlad the Impaler's father Vlad II was a member of that Order and adopted the name Dracul (Dragon). The dragon-shaped badge of the order gave rise to the Romanian sobriquet, Dracul ("the Dragon") Look here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Dragon
actually dracul (or drac) is the word the devil. the Romanian word for dragon is balaur (and in some cases also zmeu). but you might argue that drac derives from the latin dracones (which was the word used to describe the Dacian battle standard, which had a wolfs head and a serpent body, and kind of fits the description of a dragon)
those hay stacks actually is a balkanic thing,i guess,because i travelled thru all balkans,Bosnia incluede,and you can see them all over the place.which i think is nice and makes us special.somehow.
The name of the region near the Black Sea is called Dobrogea, not Dobruja.
In Bulgarian this region is called as Dobrudža.
Both names are phonetical adaptations from the Turkish ''Dobruca''.
[Ottoman] Turkish called this region after Dobrotitsa, the last ruler of the Principality of Carbona~Carbuna.
If ''Dobruja'' is the English version of this region, so it should be pronounced properly in English.
''J/j'' letter is not pronounced in English as ''H/h''.

Because you don't make any wrong statements ... like the gypsy thing ... how do you talk to certain people in Europe about Romanians ... that Romanians are gypsies
Many Romanian Historians and people along think that Dacian language was kind of related to Roman language - in fact names of the Kings sugerate that / ex: Scorilo ( sounds italian ) , Decabalus sounds latin .
Well... Romania is all the way detached to the East as you say .. but it is not that strange because before the Slavic people migrated here all the territory to the south and the the west of Romania was Latin .. including all of the Balkans and up north to the Panonia Plane ..
LE: Well Vlad the Impaler was actually born in Sighisoara, witch is a Saxon town in Transylvania ..... but he ruled in Wallachia, you are right on that one. Actually he rulled in Targoviste, my home town.
LE2: You know a lot about Romania ..
LE3: I have to address this .. the "pole thing" is one of the most important contemporary art installations in the world. It was created by Constantin Brancusi and it is called Coloana fara sfarsit (The column without end) or Coloana Infinitului (The Infinity Column). Brancusi is the artist with the most expensive sculptures ever sold at auction ...
LE4: Not really .. it does not make us that much money .. the Dracula thing ....
LE5: The Danube Gap as you called it was the famous line of defense of Marasti - Marasesti - Oituz in the First Wold War when Wallachia was occupied and the Romanian army had to hold the line in order for Romania not to fall completely ... it was a great battle and we won ...
LE6: I don\'t know where the went with the haunted forests .. they are not such a big thing here ...
LE7: Actually history knows a lot about the Dacians.... they might not have a written language .. but we know a lot through Roman, Greek and other sources ..
LE8: Fun Fact: The kings visit to the UK in 1947 was for Queen Elizabeth"s wedding ...
LE9: We don"t have a 16% tax for witchcraft
Vlad Tepes is called Transylvanian because he was born there... more exactly in Sighisoara.
Transilvania should belong to Hungary less or in the same way as Slovakia or Croatia should belong to Hungary too.
The majority-Romanian-inhabited Transilvania can lead to the extinction of the whole Hungary.
Hungary doesn't want it!
Vlad the Impaler was born in Sighisoara as well was Mathias Corvin of Hungary.
In english “silvaculture” is the growing and cultivation of trees. Same root as the Romanian region.
comes from the latin sivester (woody) fom silva (wood)
'Bout time!
Respect. Are you sure your not romanian?
Okay, the episode about Russia is already done. Including Flag Friday episode.
I heard about this thing like we stole the flag but it's not LIKE that Andorra has the same flag They stoled to ??
Romania didn't manage to stay a Latin speaking country. They became one by pushing a big language reform in mid-19th century. Before that they had just the same Latin influence like any other slavic lanuage.
Hungary didn't control Transilvania, the Austro-Hungarian empire did
kidnaping of the bride its like a test for the husband.if he loves her he will pay a silly ransom or do a silly thing as the kidnappers ask

Kako dobro govoris engleski.. ni ne primijeti se da si nas svaka cast
Actually Vlad was also called "Vlad Dracul" which means "Vlad the Devil" so I don't think there's any dragon involved
Actually "Vlad Dracul" was the father of Vlad the Implaer.
Since he was a very proud member of the exclusive "Order of the Dragon" he got his nickname form the there (Latin for Dragon = "Draco") Walachians adapted that to Dracu'.
Dracula is the Slavonic genitive form of Dracul, meaning "[the son] of Dracul (or the Dragon)".
Actually there is. His father was a knight of the "Order of the Dragon", a military order found by the Pope to stop Ottoman expansion in Eastern and Central Europe. Valahian people of those times, his subjects were not familiar with the term of "Dragon", and call it "Dracon" and after a while to simplify "Drac" = Devil.
His entire family was called "Draculestii", it is a popular adaptation to a foreign term "Dragon". We have a similar word for Dragon, "balaur", but in those times "Dragon " was to unpopular.
Gabi Craioveanu oh cool! I just didn't know the story. I know he was called "Vlad Dracul" and I assumed that's the only reason it turned into "Dracula"
@@StefaniaVd ii spuneau lui tac'su Vlad Dracul (pentru ca avea la gat colanul cu dragonul-dracul!) iar lui i-au spus Vlad Draculea (fiul Dracului). Acum te-ai prins?!
In romanian Dracula means the devil. Dragon was the christian order that awarded his father. As in romania we didn't have dragons people "translated" that as devil....I'm sure everybody knows that by now 😋
Vlad was born in Sighisoara, which is in Transilvania, but he ruled Wallachia!
Did you heard about Aromanians ?
Vlad the Impaler was born in Transyvania , at the city call Sighisoara :) . He even come to claim the throne of Wallachia aka Tara Rumaneasca ( because they never call themself as "Wallachian " but as " rumăni " . Wallachians only foreing people call them that way , and it means people how talk romance language :) . Vlad Tepes came to power thanks to 3000 transylvanian
horse riders how was part of his army. And nother stuff . Vlad on his time , people didnt call him as Vlad or Impaler , but he was called As Dracula -Drăculea . Dracula means son of Dracu , and when he pass throw villages , all people , in special the old ones said " Drăculea a venit " - son of Dracu have come . So he was not vampire , but realy was called as " Dracula " - Drăculea
