"In many languages, the name of the product is derived from the hydrocarbon compound benzene or more precisely from the class of products called petroleum benzine", same with Naphta with kerosene and diesel.
in Sweden Benzene is used for the pure Hydrocarbon, and Bensin for the car fuel (wich is amixture)
@@Patrik6920 Same in Romanian, benzen or benzol is the name of the pure hydrocarbon, while benzina is the name of the fuel.
In Czech we say Benzín which is said exactly like Benzene and diesel we call Nafta
In Norway we say Bensin, pronouncd the exact same way.. but diesel is just plain diesel.
ua-cam.com/video/z0wK6s-6cbo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RammsteinOfficial
Same in Hungary, we call it benzin too. Although for diesel fuel, we say gázolaj, which means gasoil.
Yeah, there are variations in spelling across the various countries, but they're all based on the most commonly used scientific name for the substance, which is benzene.
For example, it's called Benzină in Romanian. The ă at the end is pronounced like a very soft aah.
@@ati847Hah, the way different languages refer to Diesel fuel is weird.
Like, in Romanian, we use Diesel to refer exclusively to engines/cars that use that fuel.
But the Diesel fuel itself is never called Diesel. it's called Motorină, which is just taking the word for engine (motor) and adding a chemically-sounding suffix at the end.
@@Vestlys1 in Finland officially "bensiini" but in spoken language usually it's called "bensa". Diesel is just diesel.
If you're wondering as to why Greece has mandatory conscription, look at the neighbours to the east, and the allies to the west.
Pretty much the same for Finland. Conscription has been the best way to ensure a strong military with a relatively small population.
interestingly, the scary neighbour in the east is officially also an ally.
@@tobyk.4911 only ''officially''
@@tobyk.4911 Since the time of the Persian kings, the greatest (also cultural) threat to Greece has always come from the East. You could also say, "same as it ever was..."
@tobyk.4911 didn´t stop them from fighting in 1974 over Zyprus
In Almería (Spain) is the only desert in Europe (Tabernas Desert) which is where Sergio Leone's spaghetti western movies were filmed.
There is desert in Poland too
not the only, probably one of the only ones well known
@@smyro2k It's true
@@garbage2882I think it is the only one considered pure desert, the others are semi-desert areas.
Błędowska desert in Poland is the only desert in the country and also the biggest European desert. The length of the desert is 10 km and its width is 4 km. The area of moving sands is about 33 km2. Currently only 1/3rd of the whole sand layer is covered in sand only.
STOP please.
The religious divide in Germany between Catholic and Protestant is mostly down to the 30 Years War and the Peace of Westphalia. The principle of "Cuius regio, eius religio" ("whose realm, their religion" i.e. the Emperor could not demand conversion of a principality in the HRE, but the local ruler could decide what denomination their subjects should follow) was established back then, ending around 130 years of sectarian conflicts in Central Europe (including one of the most destructive major wars in world history). (Some would even argue that it was the end to 230 years of sectarian conflicts in Central Europe, if you include the Hussite wars which saw crusades being called against other Christians in the 15th century)
Don't forget the Seven Years War which was the first global conflict, while the period of the War for Spanish and Austrian succession and the wars between the Dutch and the English also happened between the 30 Years and Seven Years Wat.
In Finland Benzene is "bensa" (shorten for bensiini). If I was talking about it in English I would probably use the word fuel.
For Estonian "bens" and "bensiin" :D
Ita: benzina, ger: benzin, swe: bensin
Here on youtube you have Ramstein's "Benzin" (De) and Normaal's "Gin Belasting Gin Benzine Meer" (NL, strongly regional accented) (No Tax No Benzene Anymore, which is a song about carless life)
For fuel we use Polttoaine where poltto = something to burn and aine = substance so roughly translated it is burnable substance.
Fin: bensiini, diesel.
In English I'd say "gas" and diesel.
the different words for fuel are more umbrella terms, all the words are adapted to each language, in germany it's benzin etc it's also not gasoline but gasolina in spanish. so we don't all use the exact same word but it has the same roots
In poland its "benzyna"
@@foxy126pl6 in sweden its Bensin
In Latvian petrol is called ''benzīns'', diesel is ''dīzelis'', oil for making those is called ''nafta'' , and every other type of oil (like for cooking) is ''eļļa".
It is so strange that in English crude oil and cooking oil has the same name.
It's even stranger that in Russian cooking oil and butter has the same name - маслo (maslo).
In Bulgaria is benzin - бензин as well.
benzín for both slovak and czech languages
In both Czechia and Poland most popular last name is Nowak/Novak (writing is different but meaning and pronunciation is the same), for some reason for Czechia there is a female version of the name on the map (Novakova). Someone who's interested in sports (especially tennis) probably noticed that most of last names of women of slavic origin end with -ova; that's how you usually make female version of the name in slavic languages (and when the male form ends with -ski/-sky you exchange it for -ska [or -skaya if it's eastern slavic language]).
Novak je cesto prezime i u hrvatskoj i opcenito na balkanu (barem sto se tice bivse jugoslavije).
I will only add that it means something along the lines of "new one" so it makes sense most people have this name. When people migrated and changed their place of living they became "new one" in the area.
It could be due to somebody missing the fact that it is just f. version of Novák and the fact that women live in general longer than men, so there should be more women with surname Nováková than men with surname Novák.
@@MrToradragon I'd say it would be due to high probability it was made with chat GPT and no real research, and we all know how 'perfect' tool for anything it is:)
there is actually long Á in Czech version, so it's not pronounced 100% the same, but it's very close
The French word for car fuel, essence, pretty much mean "extract", which is also why you find the same word used in perfumes, and also see it used for "essential oils" (it doesn't mean they are "required" it mean they are extracts!).
Also, we use "Diesel" and "gasoil" for, well, diesel. Plane fuel is kérosène, and heating oil is "fioul" (and yes, that's a deformation of the English fuel).
Oui, cependant nous avons prit l'habitude d'appeller l'essence "SP" pour Sans plomb....
@@anatopioPas tout le monde, je dis toujours "essence" et c'est le cas de beaucoup de personnes autour de moi. Y'a sans doute une composante de génération, il y avait encore du Super en vente quand j'étais petit :p
On orthographie aussi "gazole" pour "gas oil"
@@Tiekorolivieren effet ^^ mais je ne pense pas avoir vu gazole sur une pompe à essence?

The Gulf Stream from the Carribean is what keeps Europe relatively warm for it's latitude, the Mediterranean is a stabilizing temperatures too. But it keeps surprising me how much more Northern Europe is too. I live in the North of the Netherlands, when I fly full West the first American state I would cross would be Alaska.
The billionaires living in a rather nice climate in Monaco, who could have thought? Number of days with rain is only one indicator of how rainy it is, half an hour of drizzle on a nice day, we can live with that. It's the weeks with rain all day all the days that are bad and that is often the case in Britain, the Netherlands and parts of Belgium.
The Mediterranean is more like a lake concerning the weather. The ocean with it's currents has for example much more influence on the Basque country (South-West France and Northern Spain) where it's exceptionally rainy for the latitude, the Gulf of Biscaye is famous for that.
Ne moze se reci za cijeli mediteran. Recimo grad rijeka u hrvatskoj ima vise kise nego engleska, a doslovno grad illi selo blizu, nema niti priblizno toliko kise.
... in Lithuania too...
@@oskng Yeah, it's relatively rainy in the Baltic and most of the Nordics too. Just happens a lot of the days are snowfall in the North.
You're surprised about how dry southern Europe is but just below the Mediterranean is the Sahara desert, which is also pretty dry.
Fun fact about that if all the ice melted: Finland grows about 7 square kilometers per year. The weight of the ice age pressed the ground down and it is still raising back 3-10 millimeters per year depending on the exact area.
As is Scotland and much of Scandinavia.
IIRC, there is concern over submarine land-slides as a result.. There is evidence of massive slides in the past and a resulting tidal wave around the north sea.
Yeah, we got centuries old harbors that are archeological sites that are kilometers, even tens of kilometers inland. Also this keeps on redirecting rives like there's one that was couple hundred years ago big enough to sail with ships that is just a tiny little stream now.
@@dzzope yeah one of the biggest was Storegga slide near to the the coast of Norway about 6200 BCE. I have read about it and it has been a massive happening.
Oh, the nonsens with rising sea levels... In pics on NY and other habours from 100 years ago, the water level is exact the same. No wonder, because ice swims in the water and the level doesn't rise when it melts...
@@flotterotto4491 nobody mentioned rising sea levels. We were talking about how the weight of the ice depresses the land under and how it springs back up.
Also.. a picture of a harbour isn't going to show you rising sea levels of a few inches unless the picture includes a measure to show water level and having other other tidal info and probably 100s other variables too.
It's important also to stress that Italy and Spain have one of the best healthcare worldwide that improve life expectancy.
Bullshit. Spain is a capital of LGBTQ
I suspect in USA the average is brought down by people who can't afford to get proper treatment for health issues. I was surprised to see Ireland has a higher life expectancy than UK, that may be down to a less stressful lifestyle.
@@Phiyedough it's a mix between that and the diet. American food is ultra processed and full of chemicals and antibiotics while in the EU it's strictly regulated.
@@Phiyedough More bluntly it's probably because they just went ahead. The UK is failing.
Also Spain has been world leader in organ donation and numbrr of transplants for the last 32 years.
By law everyone is an organ donor unless expresed the contrary on a will or By familiars.
The 83% of the population authorises the donation.
The cave houses in the southern part of Spain were quite typical and I believe they date back more than 3000 years. Thinking that it is a very smart way to have spaces, cool and protected for living. In the south it is very hot and dry, and in mountainous areas the cultivation space was sacred. It was also a very good way to preserve food. In the central area of the peninsula it is known that in Roman times the orography was used to build large winepresses to make wine and a thousand other things. So caves were a good solution for shelters in the countryside, the plateau is also harsh in terms of weather.
Right now there are some towns with cave houses left, but they are super tourist in areas of Granada region for example, and there is a huge Airbnb offer. Many are luxury spaces and others are cultural heritage.
In Greece and Sicily and throughout the Mediterranean I think they also have their towns with cave houses for the same reasons. And they are extraordinarily pretty and well preserver.
In Barcelona a catalonian would say in catalan, benzina, while the same catalonian would say gasolina in spanish...
I can confirm ❤ benzina in catalan, gasolina in spanish🎉
Carl Benz - Benzin/Benzina/"Benzene"
Rudolf DIesel - Diesel
Cheers from Germany.......
Nein, Benzin leitet sich von "Benzol" ab.
The term "benzene" does not go back to Carl Benz, but originally comes from Arabic.
@@DJKLProductions I was just trying to be patriotic.....but one must admit - it's a nice coincidence, isn't it ?
@DJKLProductions just did a quick google search...
from what I've read:
Micheal Faraday first discovered it, and in 1833 a german scientist named it benzene which apparently derives from "gum benzoine" ( an arimatic resin)
...so yeah...
@@theoderich1168easy easy ...
12:27 There is conscription for all men in Denmark. Therefore, all Danish men with permanent residence in Denmark are automatically called up for Armed Forces Day in the year they turn 18.
along the coast to the southwest,in
Norway ,with Bergen as the top scorer with rain on 235 out of the 365 days of the year.
We call gasoline, benzin and
Diesel is diesel in Denmark
That map is outdated. Pretty sure Ukraine is not considering to remove conscription any time soon. Let's hope for a few years, but it's wishful thinking
You do you and mostly it doesn't bother me, but the problem with calling gasoline "gas" is that in Europe and many other countries there are millions of vehicles that literally use gas (biogas or natural gas) as fuel. So unless the listener knows that your country doesn't have gas vehicles, you must understand how that is confusing. That's one reason why so many people don't like the word gas for gasoline.
That’s a good explanation. As I said in the video I try to say fuel in my videos when I remember 🎉
Benzin iis the original name given by the German Chemist Mitscherlich in 1833 to the hydrocarbon, which was subsequently called benzene by Justus von Liebig; The term Benzin developed into a name for the fuel.
In Sweden limited conscription is basically you have to show up and register, they do some tests and then they send you home unless you make it clear you really, really want to be there AND you pass all the tests.
They are about to massively increase the numbers, so pretty soon there will be no such thing as a choice anymore.
Besides, we already have the law of 'total defense duty'. So if there is a conflict they can mobilize everyone between 16-70 years who live in the country.
Having military training will just be a bonus then.
The low rainfall in Spain is why they were able to make westerns there because the landscape is similar to the south west of the U.S.
it's v dry in the south east of Spain, ie Almeria. it's much wetter in the north west ie Galicia
In Swedish; bensin, diesel also gas that's made from garbage (anaerobic digestion) vehiclegas/CNG (liquid under pressure).
in denmark we say benzin. so pretty close. but then again we're basically family already 😅❤
Dont know if you read comments or not, but I live in Finland and the part about conscription made me want to open up how the system here works. Around (usually a bit after) the time you turn 18, you're sent a fun little letter that says where and when you need to go to get drafted. Before you go there you get a medical exam and if you have any medical reasons that would limit your ability to be in the millitary, then you get discharged and won't need to do any millitary stuff. If you don't want to go and spend half a year in mil service, you can also choose civil service, which is just you working somewhere with the only difference to a normal job being that you get paid the same money as the people serving in the millitary.
So long story short you dont have to go and carry a backpack full of rocks for 15 miles and try to hit a moving target with perfect accuracy right after, if you don't want. Civil service is available for everyone, and you can also get a medical discharge quite easily, which means you dont have to do anything.
Thanks for sharing that explanation. I try to read as many comments as I can 🎉
@@IWrocker Conscription time can have its benefits. You can E.g. get professional qualification and required license to work in the transportation industry, E.g. as a truck driver: "Puolustusvoimat Sotilaskuljettajaksi?" and "Varusmiespalvelus kuljettajana - intistä rekkakuskin ammatti?". And do things like drive a tank on the highway: "Leopard 2 tanks seen on the Hämeenlinna Highway, Finland".
In Bulgaria we say "benzin" and "dizel" officially. Diesel for transportation is also called "nafta" by some people, but it's not quite right because "nafta" is actually diesel fuel for heating. There are some differences between "dizel" for cars and "nafta" for heating...
LPG /liquefied petroleum gas/ is also used as a cheaper and alternative way of running "benzin" engines in cars /and some "dizel" cars too :)/. LPG is called "gas" here. So when you are here and go to the petrol station and say: "please fill up the car with gas" they will look for the LPG connector :)
strange that in the rain map, they left out the rainiest city in all of Europe - Bergen, Norway
Benzene apparently is a chemical compound.
In Hungary we call gasoline benzin, but what's more interesting is we call diesel 'gázolaj', which sounds very much like 'gasoline', doesn't it?!
In French they call diesel gasoil - probably the same origin of the word
The region of Almeria is pretty desertic. It has been the location of many spaghetti western film shootings in the late 60's, early 70's.
In Italian, 'petrolio' (oil) is the substance you extract from natural deposits that you turn into 'benzina' (gasoline), the fuel you use for your car, and 'nafta', another oil product used in diesel motors. Gas (methane) is the one your stove burns. 🙂
Almería in Spain has the Tabernas desert that resembles the Southwestern deserts of the US, though nowhere near as big. Quite a few Spaghetti westerns were filmed there in the past and it is still used for filming today. Car companies like to preview their cars there; look for the white centre-line in the road if you can't tell if it's the US or Spain.
the rain difference between northern Spain and south of France, is mostly due to the Pyrenees mountains chain (as you guessed).
the rain in spain stays mainly in the plain
What's completely false, btw...
The absolute opposite is true, the north where is more rainy it is very mountainous.
Galicia and Basque country have left the chat to buy sunscreen
Just found out your channel, really interesting and entertaining to watch :)
and southern europe doeasnt have snowy winters, so they have long motorcycle and beach seasons, compared to north, where add to those 100+ days of rain , some +-100 days of snow. :p
06:30 It's the Mediterranean climate, which means it doesn't rain from June to September. That's why all the places close to the Mediterranean Sea have few rainy days, and it explains why Northern Spain (maritime climate) has more rainy days than southern France (Mediterranean climate).
Reference point for Americans: California has a textbook Mediterranean climate as well.
*Coastal California yes 👍 inland is very hot and cold extremes
It is not only that, there is a whole mountain range along the north and the predominant winds come from the north so all the humidity and rain stays in the very north, the provinces just south of the mountain range are much more dry even though they don't have mediterranean weather at all.
We’ve had some really dry years in the Netherlands too. But at the moment, we are flooded with rain. I think it’s been raining almost everyday since September last year. Maybe with some rare dry days mixed in between those wet days.
I find it funny that if you listen closely in the back ground where he goes over the non/mandatory military service the Song: Dem Land Tirol die Treue and found out, it goes from 6:48 till 10:22 in the videeo. i just barely heard it and thought i have to look into that
Ok so for fuel in Poland we have 3 types of fuel.
Benzyna which is gasoline mainly 3 types 95 E10,98 E5 and 100 octane .
Then Diesel is just called diesel but on gas station you will find it labeled ON from official name olej napędowy.
The last one is LPG which is a mixture of propane and butane but everybody just calls it gaz just like natural gas and it is installed mostly in gasoline engines to reduce cost.
Nobody in Poland calls diesel fuel "diesel"! We use the word "dizel" to call a diesel engine.
But the fuel itself is mostly "ropa" or "olej napędowy".
@@amjan Saying "nobody" is a bit of a stretch. By far, the most common one I hear is Diesel. When it comes to 'dizel'. It doesn't appear in dictionary of Polish language except for being an example of pronunciation (Słownik Języka Polskiego, PWN). If it's a slang it's not very common the term 'ropniak' is the most known. We have 3 official names 'silnik Diesla', 'silnik wysokoprężny', 'silnik o zapłonie samoczynnym' and i would stick with that.
In Europe now the EU have regulated using cide words and also adding ethanol, so you see E85. means 85% ethanol and the rest is petrol. E15 is 15% Ethanol and rest is petrol. I have driven in Europe, UK and of course Ireland. The code words and green handles for petrol(gasoline) is common usage. Diesel is black coded or a different colour. I had to be careful when driving in other countries. In Turkey they still have fuel attendants so you just state the fuel type you want. They give you a paid receipt for the attendant and the attendant gives you your real receipt.
Most other countries where I rent cars I had to fuel up myself.
Your Benzene pronunciation sounds so like czech benzín, it's crazy! I had small wave of goosebumps! :D
Funny thing in German.
We call it Benzin, but the right pedal is still called Gaspedal. And to speed up is called "Gas geben", literally "to give gas". 😅🤷♂️
My grandma wanted to move into a cave house in S-W France, but it was too expensive to buy and not very convenient to live in a cave community full time because most of them are secondary residences that are pretty much dead outside the vacation season. Cave homes are amazing in that they are naturally insulated throughout the year but installing the wifi is apparently a b*tch!
Map facts like this are so interesting!
Hello from Switzerland, the maps are quite interesting.
I think you mentioned an interesting point about life expectancy: the stress factor. If you look at it, then the Mediterranean region actually seems to be the key, except... wait, there's also Switzerland, without a connection to the Mediterranean, how can that be? Considering that we generally work more hours than in some surrounding countries? I think you hit the point there too when you said that it has to be more than just one thing that makes this happen. Spain, France, Italy and Greece are known for the fact that time runs a little slower and everything takes time, which you take your time there. This is also the case in certain parts of the country, but I suspect we compensate for this through our diet and our connection to nature (mountains instead of the sea). Somewhere there will probably be a similar good combination to that of the Mediterranean countries.
So the way you pronounce "Benzene" is exactly how we say it in Slovakia (benzín). It is petrol only
"Naphtha" which the map shows is a word used in South America is how we actually call diesel (nafta).
The word for fuel - palivo (literally "what burns")) is the general term, it can, however also mean coal,wood or any fuel for anything and we rarely use it when talking about filling up our cars.
Funny thing is I never really realised gas was short for gasoline and always went with the joke of "calling a liquid gas"
The reason for this is we also call the accelerator/throttle "plyn" - pleen which literraly means gas. So "step on the gas" or "full throttle" is "šliapni na plyn" or "plný plyn" - using the actual word for gas
in Slovakia/ Czechia benzene -" benziin" is used for petrol/gasoline cars and naphtha - " nafta" for diesel cars
In Sweden "Limited conscription" meant that a certain number of new recruits are needed each year, if that number wasn't filled by volunteers the remaining number would be conscripted. Though with increased tensions with Russia and us joining NATO conscription has now been reinstated to ensure that the numbers are filled each year. The idea is to still use conscripts to fill out the numbers not filled by volunteers or by 18 year olds not convinced to join during enlistment. This is to make sure that if the need arises the military can begin conscripting people right away. It was also reinstated because the number of volunteers was getting lower each year so the politicians decided to get it going again. Though as the video said, the term "limited conscription" is very vague, it might be considered limited since not every 18 year old is conscripted, just a certain number each year, but if the numbers aren't filled you have to properly explain you can't join, what reasons you have, if you don't want to. So I guess it could be both limited and full on conscription.
Compulsory military service is very important for Austria In the military, for example, soldiers are deployed in disasters to help the population Those who are used in the civilian sector are used in old people's homes, homes for the disabled, fire departments or rescue services
In Italian Switzerland it is Benzìna (and diesel for diesel motors). I marked where the accent (or stress) is. Italians say Benzìna (and gasòlio). In German Switzerland it is Benzìn and Diesel, in French Switzerland it is Essènce (not Èssence as you said) and Diesel. Nafta is what you use to heat the house.
Essence. "en" is a nasalized vowel.
18:28 , in the Netherlands it is called benzine, I also fill up in Germany and Flamish Belgium, also both benzin(e) :)
18:45 Essence in French (and, if taken literally, also in English) means distillate, and that's what gasoline is: distilled crude oil to get only the parts suitable for internal combustion engines.
In many countries, names began to develop from the professions that people had, because that was their role in the village society, and that's what they were recognized by. That's the reason that Smith is so high on the list for many countries, not only the english-speaking ones. For example, in Germany the most common names which are all professions - Schmied (smith), Bauer (farmer), Meier (farmland owner), Müller (miller), Schneider (taylor), Becker (baker), Weber (weaver), Wagner (wagon maker), Fischer (fisherman)...
In Spain we have 'Herrero', that is the Spanish translation of smith, and it is a pretty common surname too
But in Spain the most common surnames are the ones ending in Z, that are "son of"
López (Lope's son), Fernández (Fernando's son), Rodríguez (Rodrigo's son)
"In many languages, the name of the product is derived from the hydrocarbon compound benzene or more precisely from the class of products called petroleum benzine"
In Serbia, Gasoline is Benzene(Benzin) and Diesel is Naphtha(Nafta).
In Bulgaria and I asume in much of eastern Europe as well the gaz pedal is still the gaz pedal... Even if we use words as benzin/dizel for the fuel.
About the cavedwellers in Spain, I have a vivid memory of stumbeling onto an inhabited cave in Spain (outside Almeria, the black region on the map) when I was 4, so back in 1986. We were on the beach with the family, the beach was some way off from the city and there were clearly people living in the caves there by the beach. They must have had kids as well, since there they had a He-man castle toy there as well. My dad is from the region, and he told me that yeah, a lot of people live in caves there. Don't know if it was a economic thing since southern spain was relativly poor (the village he's from didn't get electricity until the early 90s and the well in the village was powered by donkey in 1986. To be fair, the village is quite remote up in the mountains, and small at that so maybe not priority for the utilities company) or if was some kind of cultural, anti-capitalist, live-in-the-nature thing.
Are they called Cortijos there too? (the small villages on the mountains) That's how they are called in Granada and Jaén
@@barawen_who
Don't remember, it was almost 40 years ago. But Almeria isnt all that far from Granada, 80 kms maybe, so probably similar name.
I also find the antipodal map really interesting. seeing which places are literally a world apart.
It's bensin for gas in Swedish and diesel for... well diesel. With limited conscription they call youth in for tests at a certain age and about 10% (I think) are selected for mandatory training that lasts for a number of months. I served 11 months in the navy, for instance. If there is a war, I may be called in to serve in the capacity I was trained for.
The German Müller translates to Miller in english. The Smith is the German Schmidt also very popular name in Germany.
21:17 A brief explanation of European climate zones: We basically have three big zones - the Mediterranean, the Maritime and the Continental Zone. Mediterranean climate is caused by the fact that Africa and Europe are basically cradling a sea, resulting in hot, dry summers and rainy winters. Maritime climate means that the ocean and land influence one another - the water stores heat during the day/summer and radiates it during the night/winter. This results in moderate changes between day/night and summer/winter. It also means that there is a higher chance of rain. You can find this kind of climate in north-western Europe. And finally, Continental climate is the opposite - hot summers and cold winters due to a lack of large bodies of water. I imagine that you have examples of Continental and Maritime climate in the US, too, but not Mediterranean, for obvious reasons ^^
you're a very clever dude. Didn't think about the effect of mountains on rain. Although I'm pretty young and inexperienced!
Around the Mediterranean sea it's called the Mediterranean climate for a reason, we have similar regional areas in Australia as well.
10:20 I see that they chose Mesabi for the region that encompasses Minnesota. This caught my attention because I was born in the Mesabi Range, which is one of the 4 "Iron" ranges in Northern MN.
7:50 - I can explain about Brazil. At 18, it’s mandatory for every male to enlist for a “draft”. If you are selected, and not immune due to health, family or some other conditions, a 1 year service is mandatory. After that, following up with the military career is optional. Now, quite often the draft officers will ask if you want to serve or not, and if you say yes, it’s more probable that you will be selected, and there are many loopholes and exemptions, so if you don’t want to serve, there’s often a way to avoid.
In any case,serving at the military or not, just by enlisting you will receive a military discharge certificate, that technically puts you in the reserve of the military and eligible to be conscripted in case of war. Without this document, you can’t do anything as a adult male, including voting(which is also mandatory), working, getting a loan or a public sector job.
This conscription policy is reminiscent of the military government that ruled Brazil until the mid 80s. Most of my father’s generation served the military, but since the 90s the size of the armed forces, and consequently the odds of being drafted significantly diminished
8:30 Conscription in Finland: You choose between armed or unarmed military service or non-military (civil) service.
at 20' of your video, for the climatic difference between American and European sister cities of the same latitude is perhaps due to the gulf stream which moderates the weather on the European side, particularly in France. it was very interesting
I'd say that besides Meier (formerly a rich peasant or administrator of agriculture) and Müller (Miller) the name Schmidt (Smith) is probably around the 3rd most common name in Germany :)
Yes, the words for a profession or position in a community are the source for most very common names, thats the same in Germany as in Britain (and from there to the USA). There are lots of them, and they just translate between the languages (also in other countries). I guess that was the easiest way people identified themself back in the old days. A first name - usually something christian - plus the profession to avoid confusion.
some other examples (but surely not as many as Müller, Meier/Mayer and Schmidt/Schmitt) are Weber, Schneider (=taylor), Bäcker/Becker (=baker), Schreiner, Tischler (=carpenter), Schuster / Schuhmacher/Schumacher/Schumann (=shoemaker) - all of which are derived from the names of professions.
yes, we say benzín in czech which sounds exactly the same as benzene, it was always funny to me as a kid that everybody say it in czech😂
I live in northern France (pretty close to the Belgian border actually) and we have rain almost every day since november
It's even worse in pas de calais as there has been constant flooding since 3-4 months
Ian, try LPG. (roughly 17:26 in the video) I always thought matter could only consist in 1 out of 3 forms, liquid, solid or gas.
Climate definitely plays a part in life expectancy, all the people in warm EU countries get older, we have essentially the same quality food all over the EU but only in a few warm countries life expectancy is clearly higher. It's probably something to do with your body having to do a lot less work to keep a steady temperature, if it's around 37°C/98.6°F outside then your body has to do a lot less to keep you on the ideal temperature. Plus if it's that kind of temperature a lot then you'll drink 4-5 liters of fluids a day which also helps life expectancy.
I mean, lack of conscription isn't necessarily a sign of not going into wars, just look at the US :P
It's more that countries that still have conscription, like Finland, have history of being invaded and have hostile neighbors. Although, Switzerland might not have hostile neighbors, they don't want to take any risks and its so deep in their culture. (as it is in Finland, but we do have Russia next to us)
In Finland land rise every year 3mm to one cm depend soil. In costal area it rise more than inner land. Many habour are in dry land or can't go ships cause land rise
18:29 Yes, it is normal term for gasoline. Also it is a technical term here, not just slang. Benzín in Slovakia, Czechia, or benzinaio in Italy for example. Also keep in mind that the diesel cars make almost half of all cars running on oil products. So every gas station offers both "Benzin" and "Diesel". And in majority cases one premium and one standard from each category, so 4 types or more. You need to be very careful to pick up the right pistol or you can seriously screw your day :D
Funny to see how far north Narvik is on this map. Isn't even the city in the far north of Norway. Lived there for some years.
Check out the 2024 Volvo VNL semi truck. Especially the extended cabin version.
Dutch words for the different products that come from raw oil: benzine, diesel, kerosine, petroleum
nowak is polish, novák is czech. Nováková is female, if I would translate it, it´s meaning is "Newman´s wife". Slavic languages have these suffixes to differentiate genders, 99% czech surnames has "-ová" for female. But Novák has more meanings, it meant a cobbler which produced new shoes (since there were also cobblers who only repaired).
If all ice melts, we czechs have it closer to sea. I see no problem.
"Fuel" is a general term for any kind of - well - fuel. Petrol/gasoline, diesel, LNG, even hydrogen...
In Poland we say Paliwo(Fuel) or Benzyna, Gas in here would be LPG(liquefied petroleum gas), it is different and cheaper than gasoline.
In the UK, it pretty much rains every day, but just for a short time. They are on an island, so they get much quicker weather changes.
Bergen, a city in the south west of Norway, it rains an average of 200 days a year :)
In Poland we call it benzyna.
in italian too, we say benzina
3:15 Correct. The top 10 most frequent surnames in Slovakia are all of Hungarian origin. Slovakia was part of the Hungarian kingdom for full 900 years (1018-1918) and in the last one or two centuries there was a strong "magyarization" (forcing Slovaks to adopt Hungarian language, names, culture etc).
4:19 It's crazy, that it only rained 3 times in New Mexico. Here it rained 3 times already this week. 😅
18:10 Yes, it's called benzene (benzín) in Slovakia, pronounced exactly the same as you said it. It has no other name here and it's the normal word for the fuel. The gas station is called "(benzínová) čerpacia stanica" (benzene filling/pumping station), but also often colloquially called "benzínová pumpa" or short "benzínka", "pumpa", "čerpačka".
I would more say our word for it derives from benzene. Like in Norwegian we say "bensin", which is very similarly pronounced to what you said when you read "benzene". When I speak English I choose to say gas or petrol depending on who I'm talking to.
yep in Poland we say Benzyna or polish ( Paliwo ), also slang name - Wacha. Even gazolina is super rare you can sometimes hear it
The second most common surname in Germany is Schmidt. together with similar writing versions it is even the most common surname and comes from "Schmied". And yes, "Schmied" is the german word for "Smith". Also in other countries the translation for smith is one of the most common surnames.
In Italy is Fabbri or Ferrari
Mediterranean countries only really get rain in winter, which makes them for great destinations in summer.
Novák / Nowak just means something like "Newman" or "New guy". You can see why that would become a common name. Müller in Germany / Switzerland just means Miller, so that is more in line with the English Smith.
In Spain and south europe we use olive oil for cooking and every day we eat vegetables and proteins (a lot of fish). Also we eat legume and almost all people eat homemade food.
I say gasolina and also bezina in my other language inside Spain.
Benzine in Dutch. It comes from the Benzene combusting engine or the Diesel combusting engene both Invented in Germany. Benzine, Diesel, Kerosine, Nafta are all different kinds of Petrol(ium) oil based.
i live in Greece and the 45 days rain is probably for the Crete island and not Athens.. cuz i am in the north part of the country and the rain is totally 3 months a year( usually 25 days in June)
18:20 Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C₆H₆. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar hexagonal ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each.
Wich is diferent from Diesel as there are 2 diferent engines each runing with one or the other ;)
We still say i need some Benzin(Benzene) for either of em tho hehe
6:12 Strange that they did not include Bergen, Norway in a map of rain days.
@18:29 Your Czech pronunciation of Benzene is perfect! The spelling is different, but you're doing great :)
Limited Conscription means that only a % of t he population gets drafted into the army each year rather. Traditional Conscription tends to work as "after your 18th Birthday you will report to a barracks and complete your mandatory military service," while Limited Conscription functions more like each year, for example, 20% of all 18 year olds will be conscripted into the army for military service (this is usually done by random lots).
Limited conscription in Sweden means that about 3 times as many people are called to the testing than whats needed, and then the military choose the people they want to do their military service. That's (right now) less than 10.000 a year When I did my service 1989-1990 it was 50.000/year.
Stating that the "blue" for the military concription is a "sign for peace" (and red being full conscription as the opposite) sounds quite laughable to me as a Swiss person seeing the USA being shown in blue and Switzerland in red. No, those colours do not spell "war" or "peace" directly.
For Europe, full conscription is strongly linked to neutrality (apart from Switzerland, this is also the case for Austria and Finland). Greece is a bit of an outlier, maybe as a consequence of the past conflicts with Turkey
U hrvatskoj je vojni rok bio obavezan do 2008 godine (mozda malo duze, ali nisam siguran) osobno sam 1996 godine morao ici 10 mjeseci u vojsku, pa su kasnije skracivali vojni rok, dok nismo ga samo "suspendirali" nikada sluzbeno nije potpuno ukinut po zakonu. Sada se planira vratiti na 3 mjeseca, sto je po mom misljenju kratko, jer u tom vremenu mozes samo steci nekakvu minimalnu obuku za pjesadiji, a nikako ne mozes nauciti nekakvu specijalizaciju. Zbog toga sam za to da se vrati vojni rok. Jer osim usvajanja novih znanja, to je dio u zivotu kada se djeca od 18 godina, prvi put maknu ispod mamine suknje i nauce kako ne moze sve biti po njihovim djecijim zeljama. Mislim kako je potrebno za daljnji razvoj mlade osobe i ucenju odgovornosti. Jer kada se maknu od roditelja i budu stavljeni medju drugih par tisuca osoba koje ne poznaju, moraju se znati snaci kako uopce funkcionirati u zivotu i ne predvidjenim situacijama.
While I agree that obligatory military (or civic, for that matter) service fulfills that role, I'm pretty sure there can be lots of other ways to make sure kids learn these things. One obvious one would be to have college/university with on-campus living at a similar age, or simply actually good parenting. @@oskng
@@fryke sve ok, ali ipak fakultet (barem u mojoj drzavi koja ima manje od 4 miliona stanovnika, postoji u svakom gradu, a i ako odes u drugi grad, doslovno si kuci u roku par sati sa autom. Isto tako potpuno je druga stvar fakultet i vojska. Potpuno drugaciji odnosi, tu se vracam sada na ono kako tek u vojsci djeca nauce kako nisu najbitniji na svijetu i da se zemlja me vrti oko njih. Postivam svacije misljenje (svi smo mi individualci i svatko ima svoj pogled u vezi tih pitanja i tako i treba biti). Kao otac troje djece, mogu priznati kako ipak nije sve samo na "kucnom odgoju" jer odgajam svu svoju djecu da budu pristojni i kulturni, ali bi ipak volio da odu na sluzenje vojnog roka, jer ja kao otac, zelim da imaju doticaja i sa meduljudskim odnosima i na drugoj razini, osim onih koji poticu iz njima poznatih okvira. To je samo moje osobno misljenje i ne znaci da sam ja upravu. Samo znam kako je bilo kada su me bacili sa tisucama drugih i kako sam ubrzo shvatio, da u vojsci vlada potpuno drugacije okruzenje. Nisam ja ljubitelj oruzja, nazalost sam djetinstvo proveo za vrijeme domovinskog rata u mojoj drzavi i to ne zelim nikome, jer kao djeca smo zbog rata morali rano nauciti te stvari, ali kada je doslo vrijeme za vojsku. Ee tu sam u biti najvise naucio stvari kao sto su meduljudski odnosi, medju nepoznatim ljudima i pogotovo iz perspektive kada si doslovno nitko i nista i kako ja to volim reci "bace te u vodu, pa ti ili nauci plivati ili potoni" jacanje karaktera, priprema za daljnji zivot o zaposlenje, jer naucis kako nisi glavni i kako moras se prilagoditi i drugima.
@@fryke sorry sto pisem na hrvatskom, mada engleski odlicno i razumijem i citam i relativno dobro ga govorim, ali nije me sramota priznati kako ga izuzetno lose pisem, pa se ne zelim sramotiti. 👍
In Denmark we use the term benzene
but it's spelled benzin... 🙂
That map at 14:34 looks like some wild overestimation. In reality even if all the ice would melt that only would result in a few centimeter of rising, which is basicly nothing.
So far I can only find 70 mtr of sea level rising, where are your numbers coming from?
@@JacobBax From common sense. Based on how many ice/snow are there in the world that barelly would make any change if you consider the whole surface size of the oceans (since they are one gigantic connected water surface, so there is no reason to separate them). It's basicly like as if you had a bathtub of water the nyou were puttining one or two soup bowl of water in there, which barelly would make any change.
Just gonna say, some of the numbers regarding rain are far off. Copenhagen (where I live) the average annual rainfall is 153 days + 27 days of snow, so 180 total.
Also we have a phenomenon where humidity is basically 100% but without rain, it's locally called dust rain, and isn't counted as actual rain, but you still get soaked due to the tiny water droplets being everywhere in the air. The map saying 102 days of rain is almost 50% off, and to any local person is pretty laughable. If only we were that lucky :D
There's a reason why talking about the weather here is a competitive sport haha. Gotta make this grey and wet outlook exciting somehow
In Italy we use the word "Benzina" more than anything else, it often happens that we refer to diesel as "Benzina" even if they are different products precisely because diesel adapts less well to our language (the sound of the word I mean)
