Swedish: Dog "vov" is the classic but "voff" is the more common now. Cat "mjau" Chicken "pip" for the babies, "bop" or "kackel" for the hens and "kuckeliku" for the roosters. Duck "kvack" Frog "kvack" or "kvark" Bird "pip" or "kvitt" Crow "krax" or "kraa" Elephant "trump" or "trööt", might be some other sound also. Donkey "skri" or "gnägg", might be some other sound also. Pig "nöff" or "grymt" Horse "gnägg" but like in german, we don't sound it like that. Bee "bzz" Cow "muu" Sheep "bää Goat "bää" or "bräk"
The only thing those animals “ make” is poop. What sound do they make? Bow-wow is the sound a dog makes! Ruff-ruff, and woof are also acceptable. Frog def says, “ Ribbit!” Donkey says “ Hee-haw.” Bees zoom also, and say, “ Bzzzzz.”
I recall my daughter watching the German cartoon, Dodo. When it was time to turn it if she always wanted to watch more because, “Daddy, I’m learning German. When she was 4 or 5 we flew Lufthansa and she spoke to the flight attendant in German. My wife and I were shocked. She said “I told you Dodo taught me German.”
My little brother watched english/american childrens TV on early saturday and sunday mornings. Every now and then he came and asked for the meaning of a word. I think, he could understand at least TV shows for preschool
In Flemish (Dutch) animals make these sounds: - Dog: waf waf or woef woef - Cat: miauw (same pronunciation as in German) - Rooster: kukeleku - Chicken: tok tok - Duck: kwak kwak - Frog: kwak kwak - Bird: piep piep or tsjilp tsjilp - Olifant: no word, just a sound - Donkey: IA - Pig: knor knor - Bee: zzzzz (zoemen is what the bee does, but the sound is zzzzz) - Horse: hi (pronunciation as 'he', but the 'e' must be long) - Cow: moe moe (same pronunciation as in German) - Sheep: meih meih - Goat: meih meih
@@roykay4709 Close, it was filmed in 1972 and released in 1973! I asked because "Rockin' Robin" was one of the many classic oldies hits featured in the movie! There's a night scene in the movie where a HOUSE OF FABRICS store is clearly visible... remember when House of Fabrics and their competitor CLOTH WORLD both had stores all over the USA? Both of those chains were merged into the JO-ANN FABRICS & CRAFTS chain during the 90's. Many of the CLOTH WORLD stores were in old "five and dime store" buildings (Grants, Kresge, Woolworth, etc) which were barely changed at all when Cloth World moved into them in the 70's after the dime stores closed! Amazingly there still are many Jo-Ann stores today which are old Cloth World stores, and really haven't changed at all (the buildings have never been remodeled) in the last 50 years!
I’m learning German as someone who only knows Spanish and English. I swear I teared up when I FINALLY got that satisfying R sound😂 People think I’m weird for it, but Deutsch is a comforting language to me.
(Depending on what is being said and by whom and how) same here. I like the 'firm" aspect of the language, it's very steady, I don't know how else to describe it at this moment (I am tired.) I'm Dutch and German just has a very clear and "deutlich" tone, and most Germans I know, are very helpful and friendly. Then again, once the sentence is uttered by a policeman/woman that is telling me _why exactly_ i am not allowed to sit on the backside of a bicycle, the language adds to the rigid and unflexible behaviour of not letting me sit on the back of a bicycle and it's not comforting at all anymore.
This was hilarious! I speak Italian and a lot of our animal sounds sound like the German version actually just spelled differently. Definitely the rooster: chicchirichí
Dogs say One in Japanese. Cats say Nya Chickens say Coke-Cocko, Chicks say Pi Pi Sparrow say Chun Chun, Crows say Car Car Elephants say Paoon Donkeys say MeEE Pigs say Boo Boo
😂 I enjoyed laughing and giggling throughout this entire thing. You two killed it! Hearing and watching the attempts to make the animal sounds with the written words was hysterical from both of you!.. along with laughing at yourselves and one another. Love it!! 😊
Ben, you are so cute. Donkey says hee-haw, sheep says baaa, goat says maaaaand yes in some children's books dogs say woof, but also ruff or arf. This was a great video. Thanks Feli and Ben.
@jaytoser5212 OH my gosh, yes, with Roy Clark, who I love and Buck Owns, who I did not, and Minnie Pearl. It was so kitschy. I loved all the great music, but as a child, I thought the jokes were definitely 'dad' jokes. I knew they had to be because of television restrictions back then.

Years ago I (a german) was trying to find out what kind of cheese was on offer in a tiny shop on Crete. The shopkeeper spoke only Greek, so we were communicating with sounds and hands... Turns out, a sheep goes "baaaaah" (deep voice), and a goat goes "määäääh" (higher voice). 😂

Sorry, lol, but I misread your comment first as "As an elephant living in Germany..." Too late in the day perhaps, so again, apologies. I'm an expat too, but I grew up learning German, so pronunciation was not as much of an issue.
You two are adorable together! It's great seeing you both--hope it's a good weekend! BTW, it used to be a joke: How do you tell if a dog is a German Shepherd? It barks with an accent. 🙂P.S. I was taught dogs go "bow wow" lol.
'bow-wow, ruff, arf-arf, woof. I've heard it all these ways in English. I think it depends on the size and type of dog. The only one of these that the spell checker marked as incorrect was arf-arf.
Sometimes in English we describe the sound a horse makes as a whinny (in addition to neigh). The sound a donkey makes is "hee haw" (there was a popular country-western TV show in the '60s and '70s called Hee Haw). Birds tweet (hence the association of that word on Twitter), but it is true that chicks peep, crows caw, and chickens cluck. For whatever reason, sometimes dogs say bow-wow.
Two thumbs up on this one. Light hearted, entertaining and educational in one package. I learned that for four years in the early 70's I was stationed at "Rooster" Air Base (Hahn). Here's a "stumper" for you - what sound does a giraffe make?
There is an episode in the Carol Burnett TV show with Tim Conway and the Mama's House skit with an elephant🐘. The whole skit is absolutely hilarious, and he does two different kinds of sounds of an elephant.
This was so fun! My first language was Japanese…dogs say Wan wan Roosters say ko keh kokoh Baby chicks (redundant) say Pio-pio (pee-oh pee-oh) Frogs say Gehroh -gehroh (r is like an L sound) In American English, chickens also say cluck-cluck And of course turkeys say gobble gobble Birds tweet-tweet Owls--whoooooo
That is so cool! 🤩 My mother tongue is Russian, an I have a couple of differences 😉 (German | English pronunciation unless you would pronounce them the same) A dog says "gaw | gav" or "av | af" A chicken says "kokoko" A baby chick says "piep | peep" A rooster says "kukareku | coo-ca-re-coo" A pig says "khrü-khrü | khrue-khrue" (it's a throat-y kh and we roll the r) While a frog also says "qua", a duck says "krya" 😉 A goose says "gagaga" A mouse says "pie-pie | pee-pee" A sparrow says "tschik-tschirik | cheek-cheereeek" or "tschiw-tschiw | cheev-cheev" A snake says "schhhh | shhhh" An owl says "uuuhuuu | ooohooo" 😁🤣🤣
This was fun. At least in Cincinnati, donkeys Hee-HAW or they bray . . . and goats neigh or nay in American English. Baby birds peep. Chicks (baby chickens) can peep or cheep. But generally birds tweet. Dogs can woof, but they also can ruff. Elephants don't have a call but they trumpet. Snakes . . . Sssssss or hiss. Cats can also hiss when mad. Roosters can also "Crow" (a sound). Coyotes howl (we do have those in Cincinnati). You should have a 5 year old sing, Old McDonalds farm for you. Owls hoot or who. I'll try to think of some more.
In Belgium (in flemish) a rooster says "kukelekuu", goat and sheep is "meh" or "beh", dog is "woef" or "waf", cat is "miauw". As far as I know we don't have a word for the elephant either, but when you say what the elephant does it's "trompet", which is Dutch for trumpet. The frog is "kwaak", duck "kwak". A bee is also "zoem" or "bzzzz". For a bird it depends on the bird... a canary is "twiet", a baby chicken or duck "piep". Donkey is "ia". Cow is "moe". Horse meat is eaten in Belgium but I personally don't know anyone who eats it. In the supermarkets you can sometimes find smoked horse fillet to eat on a sandwich. When I was younger you'd also see horse steak but not anymore. I guess you'd have to find a butcher that has it. I tried it once and it is so sweet, not at all my thing.
instead of "quak" my mom used to say a duck makes "nak" - there's home videos of her pointing out ducks to me when I was a toddler going like "look, it's a nak-nak!" etc. and apparently that stuck for some people who grew up in east germany (like my mom) because that was the sound that schnatterinchen (a puppet duck from east german children's tv, often seen on sandmännchen for instance) made. :)
Thanks to your comment I searched it and yes, it is funny. Never watched it before, so thank you. I would assume that's a movie Feli has to watch right meow.
Omg when I was in college 20+ years ago, I had a friend who, when waking up after a night of drinking, would say “Where’s that cat” and someone would inevitably say “what cat” and he’d say “the cat that pissed in my mouth last night” (because you know, the horrible taste of stale-cheap Keystone Light no less-beer in one’s mouth when they didn’t brush their teeth the night before). I can’t help but wonder if some form of that is why the German word for male cat is the same word for hangover.
Mein Papagei kann immer noch das Klingelgeräusch von meinem ehemaligen NOKIA-Handy perfekt nachmachen. Ich erwische mich manchmal dabei, dass ich mich nach meinem Telefon umdrehe, wenn der Vogel das Geräusch imitiert, obwohl mein Smartphone ganz anders klingt.
About the horse meat: I think it's a regional thing. When I moved to Lower Saxony and saw Rossbratwurst (Ross as in horse) written out on a festival stand for the first time I thought they misspelled Rostbratwurst (Rost as in grate). I've never seen that in Hesse, where I'm from. And my dad works in Thuringa and they're famous for their Rostbratwurst.
The rooster sounds in both languages sound the farthest away from the actual sound the animal makes. It's fascinating that the actual sound is different for American vs German roosters. If you imitate a crow's cawing with the same rhythm as cock-a-doodle-doo, it will sound pretty close to a real American rooster.
When a mule "talks", he "braes". There is kind of a whistle sound that is part of it. Do you remember (Ben) the comedy series from the past called Hee-Haw? When a dog speaks, he "barks".
In Polish: Dog - hał hał ( how how) Cat - miał (miau/ meow) Rooster - kukuryku ; and yup there is a rooster kogut ; their is a not reproductive rooster - kapłon ; kura - female chicken ; kurczak is sort of a young chicken or basically the one in the freezer and baby chicken - kurczaczek Cow - krowa : muuu
As a South Slav, the dog goes "Vau-vau", the cat goes "Mi-jau", the rooster goes "Ku-ku-ri-ku", the duck goes "Kva-kva", and the frog "Kre-kre". But there's one sound that no-one knows....
When it comes to dog sounds, some sound like woof, other sound like arf. The cat sounds can sound different in English, too. Not just meow. My aunt's cat would yowl with a mrow or mwow sound. Bullfrogs are the strangest. They don't really ribbit, it's more like they are burping when they are talking.
A lot of animal names share a root in Englush and German, pronunciations in English having changed during the great vowel shift, but we get the word for the meat from French. Sheep from schaf is Germanic mutton from mouton is French. Cow from küh is Germanic beef from bœuf is French. Hound also used to be the standard word for dogs and no one is sure where the word dog comes from
I found the PULCINO PIO - Das Kleine Küken Piept to be a eye opener of animals sounding different in different languages. They are all on UA-cam but watch the origionals.
I hadn't thought about this until I got a comic book from France and the cat made an "odd" sound, the sound effect for knocking on a door was different too. I think rooster made the same sound in French as in German.
In England we speak English (clue in the Name). A kid would call a dog 'a Bow-Wow'. We don't use the word Rooster we say 'cock'. A frog would croak. A bird goes 'tweet'. Not quite an exact description but we would say an elephant would trumpet. And a bee would hum.
The "general" bird noise in English is either "tweet-tweet" or "chirp." There are species specific bird noises too. For instance a turkey goes "gobble-gobble," a hen goes "cluck-cluck," a duck goes "quack-quack," and a rooster was already covered in the video.
OK Ben, you dropped the ball here, *big time*. A huge social network bears wittinesses to the fact that American birds say “tweet.” Oh, and of course the American dog says “Bow wow.” Nichtsdestotrotz, war es ein tolles Video. Immer besonders schön wenn Ben dabei ist!
The Australian raven - often mistaken for a crow - has a drawn out 'aahk aahk aaahk aaaaahhhk" call. Unmistakable. In less enlightened times, a talk show host got into trouble for once voicing that call on his TV show, and the censorious lot swore that they could hear an "f" in front of each "aaaahk".
Thank you for interesting and funny video 😊 I am from Slovenia and we mostly have similar animal sounds as German. It's interesting, that the frog sound is similar, KVAK, but the duck goes GA-GA. The most different one is for bird: ČIV-ČIV.
They are both funny. This video reminds me of the children’s toy “ see and say.” It had animals on it you put the pointer on. Then you pulled the string and it would make that animals sound.
I enjoyed this video, it made me laugh. I have picked up some other animal sounds from the internet. In Chinese, a dog says "Wang-wang." And in Japanese, a cat says, "Nyan." I always thought bullfrogs sounded like "Auroom." I like hearing how other languages express animal sounds.
Anglophone horses can also whinny, and donkeys bray, both of which are clearly onomatopoeia, but we don't use them to actually vocalize the animal, as we do with neigh and (to a lesser extent) hee-haw.
The song at 18:20 "Das rote Pferd" that Feli is singing can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/EDh-7jtqDXM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/JYkgSqpZ640/v-deo.html It's a party/disco/dance song, which is very well known in Germany among younger people, and which exists in several music versions.
I'd say the sound of a german pig is oink only for a short time now maybe through the english influence. I'm pretty sure a german pig goes "grunz grunz" which seems to have the same roots as in the explanation about the bee sound - pigs "grunzen" therefore it's "grunz grunz". Just like bees "summen" so it's "summ summ" 😄 And about the frog and the duck... I actually have a book for children where the little duck is searching for another animal to talk to and ends up in a pond happily talking to a frog which makes the same "quak quak" sound 😆
Spanish rooster sound is very similar to German, kikiriki. The English term for an animal sound is an onomatopoeia..edit, as Ben said at 11:46. Singer Todd Rungren also has a song of the same name where he sings about these words, which I heard in the 80s on the Doctor Demento show, which also introduced Weird Al to the world. A donkey's is Hee-Haw and there was a popular country culture US show of the same name. I've had horse in Kazakhstan, chewy and gamey didn't care for it. One of my classmates hated the idea so I picked up a slice and said "hi ho silver, away!"
Cat is the most common example of shared onomatopoeia. Chinese/Miao, Spanish/Miau, German/Miau, Italian/Miao, English/Meow. Almost everybody agrees on cats, apparently. In Italian, a rooster crowing is Chicchirichi, a crow calling is Cra Cra, a dog barking is Bau Bau, a horse whinnying is Hiii Hiii, a cow is Mu, a sheep is Be (a bit like 'bay' in English), and a pig is Oink Oink, just like in English. Oh, yeah, an elephant is Baaa, and a bee is Zumm.
You can even refer to a dog as "Wau Wau" in German when you talk to a kid! 😅 What sounds do these animals make in YOUR LANGUAGE?
Hund kann aber auch "wuff wuff" machen
Vogel auch "chieb chieb"
Biene auch "Bsss"
hat wieder Spaß gemacht
I have rooster sound in Spanish. It's ¡quiquiriquí!
Dogs also go Bow Wow beside the Ruff Ruff
Swedish:
Dog "vov" is the classic but "voff" is the more common now.
Cat "mjau"
Chicken "pip" for the babies, "bop" or "kackel" for the hens and "kuckeliku" for the roosters.
Duck "kvack"
Frog "kvack" or "kvark"
Bird "pip" or "kvitt"
Crow "krax" or "kraa"
Elephant "trump" or "trööt", might be some other sound also.
Donkey "skri" or "gnägg", might be some other sound also.
Pig "nöff" or "grymt"
Horse "gnägg" but like in german, we don't sound it like that.
Bee "bzz"
Cow "muu"
Sheep "bää
Goat "bää" or "bräk"
The only thing those animals “ make” is poop. What sound do they make? Bow-wow is the sound a dog makes! Ruff-ruff, and woof are also acceptable. Frog def says, “ Ribbit!” Donkey says “ Hee-haw.”
Bees zoom also, and say, “ Bzzzzz.”

That's so cool. And it shows again how awesome the human brain can be. Learning (basics of) a foreign language just by a tv show at that young age.
birds also go "tweet, tweet" or "chirp, chirp"
In Flemish (Dutch) animals make these sounds:
- Dog: waf waf or woef woef
- Cat: miauw (same pronunciation as in German)
- Rooster: kukeleku
- Chicken: tok tok
- Duck: kwak kwak
- Frog: kwak kwak
- Bird: piep piep or tsjilp tsjilp
- Olifant: no word, just a sound
- Donkey: IA
- Pig: knor knor
- Bee: zzzzz (zoemen is what the bee does, but the sound is zzzzz)
- Horse: hi (pronunciation as 'he', but the 'e' must be long)
- Cow: moe moe (same pronunciation as in German)
- Sheep: meih meih
- Goat: meih meih
So someone reported my reaction just above. I don't get it??? What is wrong?
Also Flemish. I always were thaught that the cow sais BOE. "De koe zegt boe".
How could you miss that a bird goes "Tweet". Honestly people, ask Rockin' Robin if you don't believe me. :~P
Or “chirp”
obviously no self respecting bird would be caught tweeting anymore. Twitter sucks

Just lovely to see you so relaxed and loose in front of the camera. One cannot watch this without smiling.
You are a bright spot in the world.
Donkeys sound HEE-HAW in English. In fact, there was a country music show on TV in the 1960s called that.
Oh man, this was one of the funniest episodes I've ever seen on this channel. Thank you for making my day!
I’m learning German as someone who only knows Spanish and English. I swear I teared up when I FINALLY got that satisfying R sound😂
People think I’m weird for it, but Deutsch is a comforting language to me.
I feel like, as a Scot, I could learn German - we have a rhotic "R" and the "ch" (as in loch) is similar to the "ch" in "ich"

So Feli, you need to listen to Elvis Presley's song Wooden Heart. Half of the song is sung in German. Elvis does a great job singing in German.
I Just watched it. His german is good.
That is because, after he was drafted into the US Army, he was stationed in Germany.
if you want to know more about his time in germany check out "german in venice " video about Elvis. btw. the German version of "wooden heart" is called "muss i denn" ( do i need to)
I've seen people try to approximate an elephant sound with "Pbbbt" before, but we usually just say they trumpet, like the instrument.
in Swedish
cow = ko and says mu.
sheep = får and says bä.
goat = get and says mä.
bird = fågel and says pip.
elephant = elefant and says tut.
crow = kråka and says krax.
rooster = tupp and says kuckeliku.
dog = hund and says vov/voff.
cat = katt and says mjau / mjao.
horse = häst and says gnägg.
duck = anka and says kvack.
frog = groda and says kuack.
donkey = åsna and says hihaw.
owl = uggla and says hoo hoo.

Donkey sound in the U.S. is HEE-HAW. There was a TV show back in the 1960s and 1970s called "HEE-HAW!" You should look it up 🤣🤪
Look at Ben pulling off a super troopers 🤣 alright meow, I gotta go meow.🤣
I really love your videos. Adding your gorgeous boyfriend in for his input in English terms or versions is wonderful.
There is an episode in the Carol Burnett TV show with Tim Conway and the Mama's House skit with an elephant🐘. The whole skit is absolutely hilarious, and he does two different kinds of sounds of an elephant.
This was so fun!
My first language was Japanese…dogs say Wan wan
Roosters say ko keh kokoh
Baby chicks (redundant) say Pio-pio (pee-oh pee-oh)
Frogs say Gehroh -gehroh (r is like an L sound)
In American English, chickens also say cluck-cluck
And of course turkeys say gobble gobble
Birds tweet-tweet
Owls--whoooooo
I couldn't believe he didn't say cluck for hens.
In English, chicks say, peep. Thus, the marshmallow like candy in America that are shaped like chicks called Peeps.
In England we say something similar for owl but mix it with a birds sound (just so we don't get confused!) and say"twit=twooo"
Sorry not wearing my glasses and accidentally clicked the equals sign instead of a hyphen lol
Hillarious, sounds like a movie review is up menow.
Carnival is celebrated on Mallorca as Sa Rua... you folks should go.
That is so cool! 🤩 My mother tongue is Russian, an I have a couple of differences 😉
(German | English pronunciation unless you would pronounce them the same)
A dog says "gaw | gav" or "av | af"
A chicken says "kokoko"
A baby chick says "piep | peep"
A rooster says "kukareku | coo-ca-re-coo"
A pig says "khrü-khrü | khrue-khrue" (it's a throat-y kh and we roll the r)
While a frog also says "qua", a duck says "krya" 😉
A goose says "gagaga"
A mouse says "pie-pie | pee-pee"
A sparrow says "tschik-tschirik | cheek-cheereeek" or "tschiw-tschiw | cheev-cheev"
A snake says "schhhh | shhhh"
An owl says "uuuhuuu | ooohooo"
😁🤣🤣
thats awesome, thanks ^_^
In English an owl says "hoot".
In English
In Kansas a bird "chirps" , a baby chick "peeps, a parakeet "tweets ".
I agree except that it is not just parakeets that tweet!
This was fun. At least in Cincinnati, donkeys Hee-HAW or they bray . . . and goats neigh or nay in American English. Baby birds peep. Chicks (baby chickens) can peep or cheep. But generally birds tweet. Dogs can woof, but they also can ruff. Elephants don't have a call but they trumpet. Snakes . . . Sssssss or hiss. Cats can also hiss when mad. Roosters can also "Crow" (a sound). Coyotes howl (we do have those in Cincinnati). You should have a 5 year old sing, Old McDonalds farm for you. Owls hoot or who. I'll try to think of some more.
Geese honk
Hee-Haw was also a variety show that started in the 60's and lasted until the 70's
Great and funny video! Birds go tweet, not peep. Lol
In Belgium (in flemish) a rooster says "kukelekuu", goat and sheep is "meh" or "beh", dog is "woef" or "waf", cat is "miauw". As far as I know we don't have a word for the elephant either, but when you say what the elephant does it's "trompet", which is Dutch for trumpet.
The frog is "kwaak", duck "kwak". A bee is also "zoem" or "bzzzz". For a bird it depends on the bird... a canary is "twiet", a baby chicken or duck "piep". Donkey is "ia". Cow is "moe".
Horse meat is eaten in Belgium but I personally don't know anyone who eats it. In the supermarkets you can sometimes find smoked horse fillet to eat on a sandwich. When I was younger you'd also see horse steak but not anymore. I guess you'd have to find a butcher that has it. I tried it once and it is so sweet, not at all my thing.
instead of "quak" my mom used to say a duck makes "nak" - there's home videos of her pointing out ducks to me when I was a toddler going like "look, it's a nak-nak!" etc. and apparently that stuck for some people who grew up in east germany (like my mom) because that was the sound that schnatterinchen (a puppet duck from east german children's tv, often seen on sandmännchen for instance) made. :)
funny that you can actually use the donkey sound in Bavaria to say "ich auch" (me too) - "I ah"
You two are adorable together. :) Great video. :)
I love how Feli completely missed the Super Trooper joke right meow.
Thanks to your comment I searched it and yes, it is funny. Never watched it before, so thank you.
I would assume that's a movie Feli has to watch right meow.
@@zorrothebug glad you enjoyed it; it’s one of my favorite “dumb” films. All the funnier with some friends and a 6 pack 🤣.
Kleo hört sich gut an kann ich mal ausprobieren, Schönes Video von den Tierstimmen. Danke.
Audio is so clear. Easier to learn 😊
Omg when I was in college 20+ years ago, I had a friend who, when waking up after a night of drinking, would say “Where’s that cat” and someone would inevitably say “what cat” and he’d say “the cat that pissed in my mouth last night” (because you know, the horrible taste of stale-cheap Keystone Light no less-beer in one’s mouth when they didn’t brush their teeth the night before). I can’t help but wonder if some form of that is why the German word for male cat is the same word for hangover.
Mein Papagei kann immer noch das Klingelgeräusch von meinem ehemaligen NOKIA-Handy perfekt nachmachen. Ich erwische mich manchmal dabei, dass ich mich nach meinem Telefon umdrehe, wenn der Vogel das Geräusch imitiert, obwohl mein Smartphone ganz anders klingt.
About the horse meat: I think it's a regional thing. When I moved to Lower Saxony and saw Rossbratwurst (Ross as in horse) written out on a festival stand for the first time I thought they misspelled Rostbratwurst (Rost as in grate). I've never seen that in Hesse, where I'm from. And my dad works in Thuringa and they're famous for their Rostbratwurst.
The rooster sounds in both languages sound the farthest away from the actual sound the animal makes. It's fascinating that the actual sound is different for American vs German roosters. If you imitate a crow's cawing with the same rhythm as cock-a-doodle-doo, it will sound pretty close to a real American rooster.
Auf polnisch der Hund macht Hau, ha, Schwein chrum, chrum (ch=h), and Biene macht bzzzz 🤣
When a mule "talks", he "braes". There is kind of a whistle sound that is part of it. Do you remember (Ben) the comedy series from the past called Hee-Haw? When a dog speaks, he "barks".
In Polish:
Dog - hał hał ( how how)
Cat - miał (miau/ meow)
Rooster - kukuryku ; and yup there is a rooster kogut ; their is a not reproductive rooster - kapłon ; kura - female chicken ; kurczak is sort of a young chicken or basically the one in the freezer and baby chicken - kurczaczek
Cow - krowa : muuu
As a South Slav, the dog goes "Vau-vau", the cat goes "Mi-jau", the rooster goes "Ku-ku-ri-ku", the duck goes "Kva-kva", and the frog "Kre-kre". But there's one sound that no-one knows....
When it comes to dog sounds, some sound like woof, other sound like arf.
The cat sounds can sound different in English, too. Not just meow. My aunt's cat would yowl with a mrow or mwow sound.
Bullfrogs are the strangest. They don't really ribbit, it's more like they are burping when they are talking.
Haha! Ben gets the last woof!
A lot of animal names share a root in Englush and German, pronunciations in English having changed during the great vowel shift, but we get the word for the meat from French. Sheep from schaf is Germanic mutton from mouton is French. Cow from küh is Germanic beef from bœuf is French. Hound also used to be the standard word for dogs and no one is sure where the word dog comes from
Dog comes from God. Lol.
for the southerners in germany, goat is geiß, male goat is geißbock. same root as goat.
Ruff ruff! 😂
I found the PULCINO PIO - Das Kleine Küken Piept to be a eye opener of animals sounding different in different languages. They are all on UA-cam but watch the origionals.
I hadn't thought about this until I got a comic book from France and the cat made an "odd" sound, the sound effect for knocking on a door was different too. I think rooster made the same sound in French as in German.
In England we speak English (clue in the Name). A kid would call a dog 'a Bow-Wow'. We don't use the word Rooster we say 'cock'. A frog would croak. A bird goes 'tweet'. Not quite an exact description but we would say an elephant would trumpet. And a bee would hum.
Imagining the sound of flying strudel as Feli slings one at Ben...splat!
But at last Ben shows an appearance as he ducks the flying strudel. What a sacrifice for Feli. The strudel, as Ben would have deserved it.
For the rooster YOU yourself said it sounds like DOO on the end. lol
The intro was perfect ❤️❤️❤️
You two are just silly. ❤😂
The "general" bird noise in English is either "tweet-tweet" or "chirp."
There are species specific bird noises too. For instance a turkey goes "gobble-gobble," a hen goes "cluck-cluck," a duck goes "quack-quack," and a rooster was already covered in the video.
I've always heart that Elephants go "toot" like a horn.
OK Ben, you dropped the ball here, *big time*. A huge social network bears wittinesses to the fact that American birds say “tweet.”
Oh, and of course the American dog says “Bow wow.”
Nichtsdestotrotz, war es ein tolles Video. Immer besonders schön wenn Ben dabei ist!
For me as an American Dogs would either say ruff, bow-wow, woof, or bark and birds say tweet and baby birds say peep.
Same
The Australian raven - often mistaken for a crow - has a drawn out 'aahk aahk aaahk aaaaahhhk" call. Unmistakable. In less enlightened times, a talk show host got into trouble for once voicing that call on his TV show, and the censorious lot swore that they could hear an "f" in front of each "aaaahk".
Thank you for interesting and funny video 😊 I am from Slovenia and we mostly have similar animal sounds as German. It's interesting, that the frog sound is similar, KVAK, but the duck goes GA-GA. The most different one is for bird: ČIV-ČIV.
They are both funny. This video reminds me of the children’s toy “ see and say.” It had animals on it you put the pointer on. Then you pulled the string and it would make that animals sound.
I enjoyed this video, it made me laugh. I have picked up some other animal sounds from the internet. In Chinese, a dog says "Wang-wang." And in Japanese, a cat says, "Nyan." I always thought bullfrogs sounded like "Auroom." I like hearing how other languages express animal sounds.
3:00 Someone hasn't seen Super Troopers... Feli... lol!
Saucer of milk, I've actually never use the term my grandma did.
Thank you for the video. I can't wait for the next show.
Birds go tweet tweet in the UK! Hence Twitter lol
That was very funny. Thanks! 😂
Anglophone horses can also whinny, and donkeys bray, both of which are clearly onomatopoeia, but we don't use them to actually vocalize the animal, as we do with neigh and (to a lesser extent) hee-haw.
The song at 18:20 "Das rote Pferd" that Feli is singing can be found here:
ua-cam.com/video/EDh-7jtqDXM/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/JYkgSqpZ640/v-deo.html
It's a party/disco/dance song, which is very well known in Germany among younger people, and which exists in several music versions.
The super troopers reference was hilarious 😂 she needs to see the movie 🍿!
I'd say the sound of a german pig is oink only for a short time now maybe through the english influence. I'm pretty sure a german pig goes "grunz grunz" which seems to have the same roots as in the explanation about the bee sound - pigs "grunzen" therefore it's "grunz grunz". Just like bees "summen" so it's "summ summ" 😄 And about the frog and the duck... I actually have a book for children where the little duck is searching for another animal to talk to and ends up in a pond happily talking to a frog which makes the same "quak quak" sound 😆
Roosters can also say "book book book" when not crowing. The hen (or chook in Australian English) can say "cluck cluck".
TURKEY 🦃 That's one of my favorite German/English differences! 😂
Yes, even more when you use the German word in French. I won't explain otherwise I'll get censored !
Spanish rooster sound is very similar to German, kikiriki. The English term for an animal sound is an onomatopoeia..edit, as Ben said at 11:46. Singer Todd Rungren also has a song of the same name where he sings about these words, which I heard in the 80s on the Doctor Demento show, which also introduced Weird Al to the world. A donkey's is Hee-Haw and there was a popular country culture US show of the same name. I've had horse in Kazakhstan, chewy and gamey didn't care for it. One of my classmates hated the idea so I picked up a slice and said "hi ho silver, away!"
This is my favorite video you have made!💕
Cat is the most common example of shared onomatopoeia. Chinese/Miao, Spanish/Miau, German/Miau, Italian/Miao, English/Meow. Almost everybody agrees on cats, apparently.
In Italian, a rooster crowing is Chicchirichi, a crow calling is Cra Cra, a dog barking is Bau Bau, a horse whinnying is Hiii Hiii, a cow is Mu, a sheep is Be (a bit like 'bay' in English), and a pig is Oink Oink, just like in English. Oh, yeah, an elephant is Baaa, and a bee is Zumm.
