Hey there Barbs! Thanks a bunch for coming over and needless to say for the video once again! I just wanted to point out once again that Uruguayan Emilio Arenas has Guinness World Record for owning the most pencils and that in 1841 during the Uruguayan Great War a naval battle was won with cheese in what I believe was a one time only event and we also have another republic within Uruguay itself that´s actually a single house called the Republic of Parva Domus Magna Quies which is a wacky mansion for old guys to drink whiskey, tell bad jokes and loaf around.
Agrego! En las escarapelas que representan los pabellones, la escarapela del Pabellón Nacional (la "bandera de uruguay") puede ser utilizada por cualquier ciudadano uruguayo. Era común usarlas en los días festivos patrios pero se podía usar en todo momento como muestra de orgullo nacional, algo así como los Estadounidenses utilizan su bandera flameando en la puerta de la casa. En cambio, las escarapelas de de los otros dos pabellones, se destinaron específicamente para las fuerzas del orden del Estado. La escarapela de la Bandera de Artigas es usada por las Fuerzas Armadas, visible en las gorras de lo uniformes y como "Escudo" en las unidades Mecanizadas como tanques o transportes blindados de personal. La aeronaves de la Fuerza Aérea directamente tienen pintada la Bandera de Artigas (en vez del Pabellón nacional) en su cola. La escarapela de los Treinta y Tres fue desinada para la Policía Nacional, y se la puede ver en las Gorras de los Uniformes y dependiendo la unidad policial que nos refiriéramos en boinas o birretes.
"Yorugua" is because Argentinians love to change syllables order to play with words. This is known as "metathesis"... It's a characteristic of Lunfardo slang / argot of Spanish from Buenos Aires... So, the actual word is "uruguayo" (Uruguayan), but with the last syllable ("yo") put at the beginning of the word
@@leandrojulian7155 My parents are from Montevideo. The accents spoken in southern Uruguay and eastern Argentina like Buenos Aires and Rosario are practically the same with minor differences.
Also, we argentinians refer to uruguayans (mainly in the context of football matches) as Charrúas (from the Charrúas native people); it's not at all a despective term or anything like that. I don't know if uruguayans refer to themselvs as charruas too. And, btw, as a porteño myself although the term "porteño" might be used in a despective manner, it's not despective per se, is similar to "yankee", it might be despective or not, just depends on the context.
We do call ourselves charruas. And we use porteños to refer to ALL Argentinians even tho we know it's only for Buenos Aires' people. The rest of Argentinians don't like to be called porteños and that's why we do it.
you might think that no one watches these videos, but ever since they were spun out into their own separate thing after the Cuba episode they've always been my favorite part. vexillology is so insanely underrated
So, besides the similarities between the two flags, the Uruguayan & Greek national mottos are identical: Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος - Libertad o Muerte - Freedom or Death
Yes, definitely update the early countries, at least add in the new segments. Our daughter is adopted from Bulgaria and the food there is AMAZING, and I’m pretty sure it’s mostly farm to table. Also they have wineries, rose oil is huge, but there’s also lavender oil too. The ONLY thing we were told they can’t produce much of is olive oil, so they use sunflower oil or just import it from the EU.
I had been waiting for the Uruguay episode eagerly. Thanks, Barbs. And btw, I watched your video about future plans. I hope Discovery Channel, CNN or BBC come knocking soon (unless you wanna stay indie). You've done fantastic work throughout these years and it's been great watching the way you've evolved the channel.
heeey, do not mess with line 76! I always take that bus at the same time every day, and it's not that bad, there's far worse than that, although I agree as a frequent user of line 76, it just sucks from time to time. And for that graffiti you mentioned, I'm sure I have seen pictures of it, but not about 76, rather about line 104 which does a completely different route along Montevideo, and is also infamous for just being late (if you catch the bus that is) Also, that picture of the 76 is quite old. I'm pretty sure it wasn't easy to find a good quality picture of it but just by the paint you can tell its early 2016 or older, why? Because Montevideo today has 4 main bus companies (CUTCSA, COME, UCOT, COETC) but in the past there used to be a 5th, called RAINCOOP. They had line 76 (among others like 2, 14, 21, 71 and 79) but they went bankrupt in June 2016, leaving all lines mentioned just dead, that remained for about a week while the city gov. made a deal with the remaining 4 companies to take all RAINCOOP lines and put them back into service. 76 has been managed by COETC since, and they paint their buses with the colour red, while RAINCOOP used white and blue, which you can see in the picture at 1:27 Anyways, as the graffiti says, la vida pasa, el 104 no.
Whenever you want to make another great video of our little but great country, may i suggest the anathems ? Thanks for showing us as we are. Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾
Can anyone appreciate how much hard work he has been putting nonstop for like, 5-6 years? He is doing a great job and fulfilling the commitment of geography everywhere. Keep it up, its time for zimbabwe!
"Libertad O Muerte" is the slogan of the Greek revolution, and even the Greek and Uruguayan flags are similar. It's interesting, is there any connection?
Hello there my good sir, I am a big fan of your content and I have learned so much from you and your amazing colleagues that help you. I am an American that lives in Mexico for 11 years now. I speak English, Spanish and Russian. I am planning on watching every single one of your videos and seeing how long it will take me. I will be doing that after the Zimbabwe episode is out. Thank you once again.
I would like to adress a mistake in the video, in the minute 4:13 when he says "33 inmortals", he would be wrong, Orientales means "easterns" in reference to the country's possition EAST of the Uruguay river.
So tickled to see stuff from San Anto! We lived there for four years. Our daughter still has her flower crown (hers was a Walmart special, hahaha). Those medals are ubiquitous in the spring - there are serious collectors who walk around during Fiesta time, jangling with so many medals pinned to a vest of some sort. If you want fun and wacky, maybe someone needs to send one of those message potatoes to you, lol. Or one of those things that little wound-up butterflies explodes out of! Might have a little trouble tying that to a specific country, though.
Yes! It means orientals, or easterners. Idk why the hell he decided to translate it to "immortals" (he even uses the correct translation in the main episode). Even if you wanna be poetic with your words, based on the jest they did or whatever, I don't think we've ever used the term "orientales" to mean "immortals".
It's a special case. If you search for "fortaleza del Cerro de Montevideo" you'll see in the picture in full size that the main flag is flown on the center pole at the entrance to the fortress. The Artigas flag is flown bigger and further aside because the fortress is now the General Artigas Museum.
But that law applies for government buildings and offices (from the bureaucratic/executive power). Also it only applies to patriotic national days. Most of the days of the year only the main uruguayan flag is flown.
Bolivia recently recognized a second oficial one which is the indigenous flag, common across south america known as the "Wiphala". Other countries I don't know.
I know you like to travel to the countries that to talk about. If you are going to travel to Zimbabwe or Zambia, you'll probably have to travel through South Africa. Please do a meet up in Johannesburg on your way there!!!
EN LA DÈCADA DE 1820, EN BALTIMORE, U.S.A., SE "ARMABAN", Y "FLETABAN", MUCHOS BARCOS, IGNORANDO LAS DISPOSICIONES DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS. EXISTIÀN MUCHOS FORMATOS DE BANDERAS, Y RECUERDO UNA, CON EL "FREEDOM OR DEATH" EN LA FRANJA CENTRAL. IGNORO SI SE UTILIZARON LOS COLORES REPUBLICANOS DE ARTIGAS (FRANCE; U.S.A; ETC.), O TOMARON EL DISEÑO DE ALGUNA DE LAS BANDERAS DE BALTIMORE.
Fun fact: in hispanic heraldry noble men have their coat of arms in regular shape shields while women have them in oval ones. It's curious that in Spanish and Portuguese "republic" is a female word while "kingdom" and "empire" are male. Originally, all Southern Cone countries had oval coats of arms, including the Riograndense Republic, which is now part of Brazil
After Zimbabwe, is there going to be some kind of marathon event where we watch every episode together end to end starting from Afghanistan? That would be epic.
The clarification about 'porteños' is more confusing. I am a 'porteño' and I don't find it offensive at all, we refer that way to ourselves to differentiate those of us from the City of Buenos Aires, the capital city, which is an separate entity from the Province of Buenos Aires, which surrounds it. The natives of the province are 'bonaerenses' (I don't use capital letters because in Spanish, demonyms are not capitalized). The 33 Orientales doesn't mean the 33 immortals at all. The full name of the country is República Oriental del Uruguay or, for historical reasons also Banda Oriental del Uruguay, 'oriental' meaning 'eastern'. The Uruguay is the river that defines the western border of Uruguay with Argentina. The country lies to east of the river Uruguay, and that is why Uruguayans also refer to themselves as 'orientales', because they are to the east of the Uruguay river. I have often heard Uruguayans refer to themselves as 'charrúas', I don't think it is offensive at all. 'Rioplatense' is a term that applies to those people from areas of Uruguay and Argentina close to the River Plate because they are closer to one another in accent and culture than our countrymen from elsewhere. A 'porteño' like myself can't tell a 'mendocino' (a native from Mendoza, a province bordering Chile) from a 'chileno' and I am quite sure a 'mendocino' can't tell a 'porteño' from a 'montevideano'.
I have an Idea I think would be sucessful, maybe start a subscribing service that you devlope that teaches lesser known languages ; as an example Azerbaijani, Armenian, Georgian, Uzbek, Farsi, Punjabi, Slovene, Maltese, Wolof, ETC. and I think that many of us would subscribe (or maybe even make it free) I for one wants to learn some lesser known languages, and you could ask Geograpeeps to send in helpful language learning tools. coming from an American who loves the cultures and nationstates from around the world.
I have never ever heard the word "porteño" used as a derogatory term. It is actually the correct way to label the people from the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. (And many other cities around the world with important international ports.) I felt it like someone from Newark talking about NYC saying "yeah dude, we make fun of them and call them 'new yorkers'"
Yeah, he got that wrong. It's not a derogatory term. Maybe it was at some point in history? I have no idea, but it is just a nickname for the people from Buenos Aires.
Porteño se le dice de manera despectiva al estereotipo de argentino agrandado que vive en una burbuja. En el interior del país muchos piensan que esa manera de actuar es exclusiva de la gente de Buenos Aires, por lo que aclaran "los argentinos no somos agrandados, son los porteños", como diferenciando ambos grupos.
Damn when you mentioned the green flag during the Brazil era got me thinking how weird it feels thinking about when the Brazil episode just came out sooooooo long ago. That also got me thinking that Uruguay and Brazil gotta take the prize of two countries who border each other with the most letters in between their first letter in their country’s name. B-brazil and U-Uruguay. Well probably a tie with Colombia and Venezuela, Or no wait!! A-rgentina borders Uruguay! Please help me think of other examples! 😝
I know there's only two episodes left (Good lord does time fly), but is there any way Venezuelan Geograpeeps could help with research for the Venezuela video in advance?
Hi, i dont know if you said it and i missed it. But this country kinda doesnt have a name, its "Republica Oriental del Uruguay" so: "The republic eastern of the Uruguay (the river)". Its too funny 😂
Porteño means from the port. Yorugua is alvesre. Me extraña que no se acuerden de Minguito y su lunfardo. Uy is the third largest whisky drinking country per capita!!! after India and France? in the world.
Uruguay is the best of south America ,welcome everybody to beautiful country of Uruguay ,punta del este ,city ,the capital Montevideo ,and colonial city, colonia del sacramento 🇺🇾👏❤️👍
Uruguay, along with Chile and Argentina, has the highest consumption of drugs in general. They're closer to being "1st world nations," and wealthier nations tend to be consumers.
Whats the meaning of "its not selling out if its your brand"? Is the merch made per order? Surely, there is a backorder from time to time. I know its meant to be a funny statement, but I'm a little slow to pick up on the double meaning.
Because when a UA-camr Texas sponsor, there’s usually people in the comments saying they’re selling out where he is promoting his own brand meaning is not selling out to anybody
yes, but they are historical flags. if you ask us wich is "our flag" 99.9 percent of uruguayans would point to the national flag. the others are not ment to represent the country in any form.
He clarified by law in government buildings and offices... the artigas flag is also the flag and roundel used by the military hence why you see it alone in the fort known as Fortaleza del cerro.
It's a special case. If you search for "fortaleza del Cerro de Montevideo" you'll see in the picture in full size that the main flag is flown on the center pole at the entrance to the fortress. The Artigas flag is flown bigger and further aside because the fortress is now the General Artigas Museum.

The same motto is also on the flag of the April Uprising of 1876 in Bulgaria; it seems it was widely used during this period.
It was also used by the serbian chetniks its very typical

Yeah, he got that wrong. It's not a derogatory term. Maybe it was at some point in history? I have no idea, but it is just a nickname for the people from Buenos Aires.
Its not exactly derogatory or offensive but it is colloquial which I think where Antonio was going.
Porteño se le dice de manera despectiva al estereotipo de argentino agrandado que vive en una burbuja. En el interior del país muchos piensan que esa manera de actuar es exclusiva de la gente de Buenos Aires, por lo que aclaran "los argentinos no somos agrandados, son los porteños", como diferenciando ambos grupos.
from what I heard you call people from buenos aires that, that have inflated egos
Damn when you mentioned the green flag during the Brazil era got me thinking how weird it feels thinking about when the Brazil episode just came out sooooooo long ago. That also got me thinking that Uruguay and Brazil gotta take the prize of two countries who border each other with the most letters in between their first letter in their country’s name. B-brazil and U-Uruguay.
Well probably a tie with Colombia and Venezuela, Or no wait!! A-rgentina borders Uruguay!
Please help me think of other examples! 😝
Angola and Zambia 😭
I know there's only two episodes left (Good lord does time fly), but is there any way Venezuelan Geograpeeps could help with research for the Venezuela video in advance?
I’m a Geographer from Venezuela and I speak good English but I am not famous, so I guess I can’t participate 😅
Uruguayos está bien.
I will shout GEOGRAPHY NOW for u
uruguaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!
Remember when these were uploaded on Friday?
4:10 Orientales means orientals, as in easterners, not immortals
Hi, i dont know if you said it and i missed it. But this country kinda doesnt have a name, its "Republica Oriental del Uruguay" so: "The republic eastern of the Uruguay (the river)". Its too funny 😂
At the beggining of the main video he kind of said it but didn't specifically said the implication that it has no name.
same fo the "United states of America"
I wish the geo now shirts had smaller logos on the left pec instead of that big obnoxious one in the middle.
I like your Czechia shirt 😀
Porteño means from the port. Yorugua is alvesre. Me extraña que no se acuerden de Minguito y su lunfardo. Uy is the third largest whisky drinking country per capita!!! after India and France? in the world.
Great video.
Uruguay is the best of south America ,welcome everybody to beautiful country of Uruguay ,punta del este ,city ,the capital Montevideo ,and colonial city, colonia del sacramento 🇺🇾👏❤️👍
I like to see myself in this video (a letter)! Ko😅rea united!
Yess watched video
We do have 3 flags. Artigas is proudly our Father. We do call ourselves "Charrúas" 🩵. Also, "Orientales" and "Uruguayans" are synonyms to us... 👋🧉
❤❤❤❤❤
Uruguay, along with Chile and Argentina, has the highest consumption of drugs in general. They're closer to being "1st world nations," and wealthier nations tend to be consumers.
Åland is Finnish!! Damn you Jonas!
There is no way I am so early
Uruguay is so expensive that when we go to other countries to us everything is super cheap. Pero bueno Uruguay noma

Two videos in a row I'm giving you liquor. What a bad influence 😅
Whats the meaning of "its not selling out if its your brand"? Is the merch made per order? Surely, there is a backorder from time to time. I know its meant to be a funny statement, but I'm a little slow to pick up on the double meaning.
Because when a UA-camr Texas sponsor, there’s usually people in the comments saying they’re selling out where he is promoting his own brand meaning is not selling out to anybody
Hi
50 blessings. and the 50th stalker brigade.
Franc Ocean and Mac Miller spotted 😊
Uzbekistan is cooming😎
Can't wait for it probably in October 🎃 maybe🤔.🇺🇿
Why don't you upload new Geography go videos ?
Because he hasn’t been anywhere yet or he wants to get the country episode out first
Do Argentine provinces explained!
Two co-official flags???
yes, but they are historical flags. if you ask us wich is "our flag" 99.9 percent of uruguayans would point to the national flag. the others are not ment to represent the country in any form.

He clarified by law in government buildings and offices... the artigas flag is also the flag and roundel used by the military hence why you see it alone in the fort known as Fortaleza del cerro.
It's a special case. If you search for "fortaleza del Cerro de Montevideo" you'll see in the picture in full size that the main flag is flown on the center pole at the entrance to the fortress. The Artigas flag is flown bigger and further aside because the fortress is now the General Artigas Museum.
The Federal league flag looks like the Nicaragua or El Salvador flag crossed out
both countries were inspired by the flag of Argentina
LUIGI PRIMO! BEST PIZZA WRESTLER OUT THERE!
You got the reference!! 🤣🤣🤣
unless Montevideo and tacuarembó, Montevideo/Tacuarembó does not have an official flag. (coat of arms yes, flag no)
Is it legal to post a Black Pudding from Lancashire, England, to the US? Doubtful, but the Police investigation could be "explosive".
Brisbane ain't a big city by the way. Only like 2 million people compared to Sydney and Melbourne which each have 5 million.
How does Uruguay have more drug users than Colombia? I learned something new today, I would imagine Colombia is more known for supplying drugs
Per capita. But as an uruguayan I doubt we are first in drug consumption. The alcohol is true though.
@@Jess-737 Uruguay used to have a more considerable amount of traffic casualties but in 2016 it enacted a zero alcohol tolerance (0%BAC) while driving. The amount of accidents have gone down ever since.
