In bulgaria, Your mom can call you ''mom'' too. This also aplies for fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.
so true
In Lebanon too
Same in Turkey
Are the words "momche" and "momiche" derived from that too? xD
@@heinrich.hitzinger not rlly. Momche means boy and momiche means girl.
In Croatia, Rakija is considered to be the magic fix of any trouble in that country.
Have tummy ache, drink some Rakija. Have a head ache, drink some Rakija. Have muscle aches, drink some rakija. Have a fever, rub rakija on your forehead. Have a wound, pour some rakija on ti...
That also can refers to all Balkan countries xd
@@petarvuksanovic8472 yes sir
Same in Bulgaria!

I swear I have never seen so many Bulgarians that speak English in one place. I feel welcomed.
Fun fact about Bulgaria: People do put ketchup, mustard and, mayo. Most Bulgarians like it.
Me too! I am pretty Suprised with how many Bulgariens there are!
I am very surprised too!!! 😂😂
Everyone likes ketchup, mustard etc. Здрасти! :)
@@randomPerson-rc3wb Most Bulgarians are abroad - for better or for worse.
I laughed so hard at the serbia one. Not because it's wrong but because how accurate it is.
U Republici Srpskoj isto 😂😂
we macedonians also have сине and син
@@AttifyMK Macedonian language is Bulgarian basically
@@iceeve8010 its more like serbian which isnt a shitfest like bulgaria /j
@@AttifyMK it's not Serbian u can barely make out something as a Serbian speaking to Macedonian...
As a Czech person I can confirm that, beer is cheaper than water; the letter Ř is so difficult to say for you if you are not Czech, even Zimbax didn't said it correctly (he said Š instead of Ř) and at the easter morning these random sticks are named ,,pomlázky'' and I know that Czechs are weird XD
that letter sound is available in arabic as in اشعل شمال شامخ
Přesně ! 😁

In Bulgaria, Bulgarians nid-nod their head up and down when they say no, and right left is yes
Unknown fact
I learned that in a weird but true book
@@kd1405 lesser known fact but the reason for that is probably because a large part of the population of northern Greece is previously Bulgarian
It's not that common nowadays tho so you hardly ever see it

i am Bulgarian and i have never heard the fact that it's okay to put milk first in Bulgaria, but i believe most Bulgarians don't eat cereal for breakfast, but either a princess (a baked piece of bread with minced meat or cheese on top) or banitza
странджанка (strandjanka) е само с кайма, а принцесата е с кайма и кашкавал😆
@@algav_ охооо, това въобще не съм знаел, мерси!

@@algav_ аха, ми аз съм от Пловдивския регион (живея в Чехия) и майче там си я виваме принцеса
Принципно да, но аз така правя
As a Bulgarian, I am actually serious and I pour milk before cereal, overall, the taste is the same, I tried both milk before cereal and cereal before milk, for me personally it's easier milk before cereal, but I guess you can pick how you want to pour your cereal
the only based bulgarian
As an Serbian, I also used to put milk before cereals and i prefer it that way, i love when they are crunchy (Oh btw we also do that here)
@@dusicasavic6833 same!
@@ge_prav3236 Glad to hear somebody else does that :D
Did you just openly say you are a psychopath?
As a Sri Lankan, the reason that a full moon is a holiday is becuase its called a "Poya day" and they are the days to commemorate key events in Buddhism.
Yeah I assumed that because I’ve been there, I think Sri Lankan people are extremely kind that hotel staff at the place I was in put up with me, even when I was playing with the piano 24 seven
Once, I was playing and I was a failure at English, The only lyrics I could sing while playing the piano was “I can’t play “, and then the dude was like yes, you can play Embarrassing AF
Just curious so almost every month schools and offices are closed for 1 day?? Thats an insane amount of holidays for employees.
@@Electrobuzz17 Pretty much yea. I mean im not complaining. I get a free day at home 😅
Zimbax loves Zimbabwe so much that even his discord server's name is Zimbabwe army lol
Lol
it sounds from his name so no coinsidence

For Nepal🇳🇵,
We love our country more than anything but hate the politicians more than anyone😬
Same shit in Poland
Same in most countries
Same in czechia, poland, slovakia and hungary
same in Russia lol
Same in Sri lanka :-(
from japan, never heard of the proposal thing lmao (it might be a prefecture thing)
the thank you thing is accurate though. its polite and expected
Thank you :) Love from India.
The British often say 'thank you' to one another too - it's almost another way to say 'goodbye'
That is right!
Pure dung. I don't know where you got that FAKE info, thou. And what they are saying is NOT thank you. There is no Western equivalent to what they say. Usually, ”どうも” （dohmo).
@@ants08031236414 i think i might've been confused or misunderstood, whenever someone.. randomly.????
japanese people dont say thank you randomly, i have no idea what this video is talking about
yeah, i guess you are expected to say thank you back when its appropriate though
As a romanian i can confirm we are exactly like egypt when it comes to bread 😂
Yeah, as a lebanese, i can 100% relate. My friends, sisters and i talk in english and arabic when were having a conversation, and it's normal! Btw, any other lebanese ppl?
im not born there but i have family and friends from there! they till me its cool and i should visit. love from 🇪🇬
typical lebanese sentence that mixes 3 languages in one sentence: hi kifak ça va?
Me I’m Lebanese
of course we sit in a circle on birthdays so we can summon the snacks in the middle
2:07 in India also some people pour milk first and then cereal i also do it in the same way pouring milk first then cereal but i don't eat cereal usually
When i first heard that people who pour cereal first and then milk hate the people who pour milk first and then cereal i was like what is how i do is not a correct method i thought everyone in the world pour milk first and then cereal and that time when i realized that was hilarious
Same, I'm german and also don't get why many people find it weird to put the milk first.
You monster
@@princemoneycat5294 no Americans are wierd
@@Zeder95 yeah why milk is more logical
As a Bulgarian person i confirm.
Most of my friends eat cereal like that, but i prefer pancakes
The Bulgarian community is weird
1:21 today is the day... And yes, water is more expensive🤣
Us Greeks pour milk before the cereal too
Bangladesh:
There are 3-5 ceremonies in a wedding but there is no engagement.
2:01
I I'm Bulgarian lol
-a Moldovan person
*guess sorry xd
Many of these are also normal in Italy, example: The bread thing, the bread is always eaten otherwise you do not fill up, the milk thing varies from region to region, it is also from us you eat the snails (spicy)
In Romania we say “happy birthday” to people on their patron saint name days and other special days dedicated to them like women’s day.
As bulgarian I can confirm we put first milk, but here we don`t eat cereal. It`s most likely for US, not for the Balkans.
The dutch birthday party is so true😂😅 and I like how it is not the stereotype 'you smoke weed and live in a windmill'
Windmills are super rad tho
uhm.. as a Dutch person, thats crazy.
🇳🇱
@@howdoipickaname9815 Weed isn't bad either.
I think the dutch is the coolest. Biking is good for health and environment and makes life better. And having a circle to sit in is always nice. Your have one point were the the social energy concentrates ♥️
1:32 In Serbia we say that too.
2:45 I'm Lebanese and that's so truuue
As an norwegian, i can say the 134 hour boat thing was just a type of screensaver for many
Same for the 7 hour meat thing
I am greek but i am eating my cornflakes as Bulgarian 🤣🤣
In Albania, we use odd phraces like
" Tomorrow morning" when you doubt someone
*When the fishes have the same height as tree,* in Turkey (back then in İstanbul fishers were choosing fishes' price by their height when they put those fishes vertical and more height the fishes get; less price they have, and that's used against people that asked "When will you give us those for less price/free?")
Means never.
@@AlexSt39 lol
in some arab countries a certain food is called life
as you said in egypt life is bread
while in countries like oman its rice
btw in oman there is a good chance a stranger will pay for your groceries
The Jordan one was kinda weak tbh. When you meet someone new, the first thing they will ask is who your family is and try to figure out if they are connected to your family in any way by friendship or family. It's also normal to complain about foreigners while at the same time having many foreigner friends and doing everything possible to accommodate them. People here will hand out their WhatsApp numbers like candy; taxi drivers, the guy at the shawarma stand, the person you talked to for 2 minutes at a party. Also, complaining about litterers as you throw trash on the ground
as a jordanian, i can confirm that this is accurate
As a French per person, yes most milks are usually stored at room temperature, and many of us, including me, complain about a lot of things lol 😅 but eating snails isn’t THAT common, and many of us still find it disgusting
@une inconnue bah on mange des trucs normaux aussi, après oui y’a des plats aux escargots mais on mange pas n’importe les quels, et perso moi j’en mange pas
@une inconnue Normal things like other countries ? I see you don't know what other countries eat.
I'm half Egyptian, I can relate to the bread thing lol, my dad always has to eat bread with everything he eats!
🇸🇰 Slovakia: We always complain about everything. Everyone thinks we are Czechoslovakia in Eastern Europe. Noone knows something about Slovakia. We like to drink Alcohol and love our mountains.
And you get mistaked for us Slovenia
As a Bulgarian I can confirm we do put milk first, the cereal.
In Slovakia, "borovička" produces alcohol from juniper (a completely different conifer than in the name of alcohol)
And we have letter ľ that nobody in tge world uses
As a Slovenian I can tell you that you are amateurs😂 we have “borovničke” that are made out of blueberries and we use juniper (the fake blueberries😡) for gin
In France, milk is stored at room temperature as well as eggs because we use a very particular sterilization process and very strict hygiene rules which make them perfectly safe to be stored like this in the shop (for the milk, it’s only until the bottle is open, of course)
Guess I’m Bulgarian now 💀
Fun fact: Philippines celebrates Christmas for the longest time and we celebrate it on 'ber months' like September, October, November and December lol
As a Bulgarian I confirm that It's normal to put milk before the cereal. It's NORMAL! There's nothing wrong with it.
My country is next to your and I do too this. Before covid I didn't know is weird to do this.:)
Edit: I will STILL do. My family taught me this and they born in same country as mine
I''m from italy and i always put milk before cereals.
I am from Russia/Sweden, and following my mom's tip from 2017, I put milk first, then warm it in the microwave, and only then put the cereal.
i do it too although im polish
Да, а и е по-удобно
In my country we pour milk into the bowl first, then put cereal into a separate bowl and put in little bits of cereal into the milk as we eat. If you can’t finish it you can just pour it back into the bag 🌝 it also prevents soggy cereal lol
I’m from Maldives btw
wow, that is so cool and practical
I’m Mostly Dutch, so I can confirm that on holidays we circle around a coffee table
Azerbaijan:You say I'm coming when you go anywhere
What? It is really weird to store milk at room temperature? We are the only ones doing this?
Yes
In the United States no one stores milk or any dairy product including butter and most cheeses at room temperature. I can't speak for any other countries.
Here in the UK you store milk in a fridge normally
@@John_Fugazzi In Canada it's the same thing. Most people just prefer their milk cold. Also won't it go sour kept at room temperature? I was taught at a young age that keeping milk cold keeps it fresh longer, as it slows down the growth of bacteria that spoils the milk.
We also keep our eggs refrigerated, but I heard that in Australia people store their eggs at room temperature. Apparently eggs have a coating on them that keeps them fresh, but in North America they wash the eggs and the coating comes off so they have to be kept in the fridge.
in Poland most of the milk is also stored at room temperature 🤷♀
Honduras: is normal in a department(state) name Yoro to have a fish rain like two or more times in a year
Tourist Bulgarian visiting the USA: puts milk before cereal*
Americans: You’ll regret the day you stepped on this place...
To honour the great Bulgarian people, I shall now pour the milk before the cereal 😊🇩🇰
As a Canadian Lebanese, I’m so happy when ppl mention Lebanon cus it’s so smol
in Portugal, every single part of the pig can be cooked. including its blood to temper rice. we are also the only country in europe (exept russia) that calls tea, "chá".
the same with China XD
@@jefferychung5464 in oposite sides of the world, and yet so similar.
in almost every Slavic language tea is "čaj" (pronounced chay) but of course Poland needs to be different so we call it "herbata"
@@jefferychung5464 And South Korea, we call it 차 (cha)
From Hong Kong, We are not from china and we do not speak mandarin, we speak cantonese, they are different languages !!!
Hong Kong was actually handed to Britain because of the Treaty of Nanking, and then it was handed back to China during 1997, so technically speaking it's still part of China. And speaking different languages does not make the nation a different country, e.g. Papua New Guinea has 840 languages.
As an Arab who have: talked to Egyptians, visited Egypt, and fluently speaks Egyptian accent
I can tell what u said about that country is true
Yup 😂 you got the Egyptian fact correct in Egypt it’s called “aysh” but with a ع sound 😂
Israel🇮🇱: it is perfectly normal to see soldiers on uniforms and with guns on public transportation
and sometimes just walking around town 😂
i have solved the israeli-palestine conflict
Georgia is Europe
No
In the US, others drink at a glass or bottle but drinking in a red solo cup seems the culture in college frats and night out events. Also, free refills are so common and every morning, grab a coffee from Starbucks and get working.
0:14 well I think that should be a thing everywhere.
0:46 wait holdon im so curious rn. how do y'all celebrate birthdays then?
In Russia it is normal for international people to ask if you’re a communist, the answer is yes by the way.
In Bulgaria is normal people to think you`re trash, because you weren`t grew up during Communism
Croatia: also a lot of people talk in different dialects for example : in Zagreb there is a kajkavian story and when a guy from zagreb and a guy from split (who speaks Ikavian) talk, they understand almost nothing. I have a friend from Zagreb and i am from Split and when she and I talk we barely understand each other
Growing up my parents practically forced me to eat bread with my breakfast and any sauce or liquid in the food that isn’t a drink is dipped in bread
I’m not exaggerating at all
That's an everyday thing to do here in argentina
this is the first channel which gets something ACTUALLY true about every Egyptian I ever knew, including me!
as a dutchman, the picture used for a dutch birthday party is so accurate.
In Poland, it's also milk first, I've grown up to hate cereal first.
Same🇵🇱
2:01
Well, in Poland it's totally depends on the person. Recently in class we had a big argue about what should be first: cereal or milk. Haven't solved the problem yet. But maybe my class is weird XD
English:
Yes, true XD. I always argue with my sister abt that.
Polish:
Tak, prawda XD. Ja zawsze się kłócę z moją siostrą o tym.
As a bulgarian french, I can approve what you said about those contries except eating snails, its really a lux and its not done by many ppls. Also almost everyone unanumusly (engrish) agrees that their gross...
1:00 My phone decided to lose connection and keep me waiting here 😂
I didn't even think it was possible to put cereal before the milk and eat it cold before I discovered the internet🤣
The "Czech" eastern tradition is also common in Slovakia and i believe in some other countries too just remember it is symbolical
As a Serbian, the 2nd one is really accurate.My parents still call my 17yo sister "сине", and, surprisingly,it still doesn't go on her nerves.
it is cute tho
@@waleedalarmanazi159 Welp, yeah, it is, but, my sister doesn't really like it when my mom or dad call her "sine".I messed up when i wrote that it doesn't go on her nerves.
@@Uros_06_ lol haha it happens, my advice is cherish them when they are around:)
@@waleedalarmanazi159 Yeah
Even though I have been a part of the people that put milk first I never knew that it was because in my country it was actually the norm
Аз пък за първи път разбирам това нещо..
Same
1:11 but this letter is good at describing the sound of the Chinese sound in "ren", for example.
In Italy, when it's your birthday and you invite people out for dinner to celebrate, you're suppose to pay for everyone. Which can end up being VERY expensive! Damn!
In the USA. It's more normal to measure drivable distances by how much time it takes to get there, rather than to say the distance. Say for example a destination is 60 miles away and the speed limit is 60, we'll just say it's an hour drive. I've only heard that this is abnormal outside the US and Canada, so forgive me if this is normal to you too.
Edit: Also, distances can get so big and traffic, weather, etc. that distance becomes mostly irrelevant, so time taken is the only useful measurement.
Absolutely. This is because in the major metropolitan areas in America, the actual distance has no relevance to travel time. In Los Angeles, it can take 3 hours simply to get crosstown. Gridlock is real; you just sit there. An accurate travel time is invaluable for Los Angeles scheduling. To say "Traffic was heavy" is not an acceptable excuse for being late since such congestion is a given for us all.
I remember how this used to make my father ROFL when we moved to the States decades ago. The unit of measure would be time rather than distance. And sometimes he would ask, how far is X from Y and an American would respond, "It depends." What? "It depends on the time of day." He's thinking. Do these places move in the middle of the night?!? LOL.
Of course, after several years in the US, he started thinking in time units too. This seems to me to be normal in all parts of the US, from congested urban areas to the rural west. It's all about driving. And I don't think other countries think the same way, at least not so consistently.
@@marilena7848 Actually, it can depend on the time of day. Morning commute, Lunch Rush. Going home Hours, and the intermediate times between these 3 intervals.
Im from the US and I didnt even know that this was abnormal. I don't think i have ever measured a drive by how many miles it is.
This is true in India as well
We say it's a 1 hour journey instead of distance
As a native I can confirm, if he used India instead of Bulgaria, he would have ×100 more views 😏.
YOU PUT THE MILK FIRST SO UR MILK GOES IN THE MICROWEVE AND MAKE IT WARM! AND THEN PUT THE CEREAL! HAVE A NICE,WARM BREAKFAST!
I'm French and I I've tasted snail once or twice in my life. It's a meal for the special occasions, we don't eat it always. And by the way, they aren't raw.
2:06 me who isnt Bulgarian but still putt milk first: oh i was thinking it was normal
Pakistan: Breakfast is Tea and Flatbread, Lunch is Tea and Flatbread, Dinner is Tea and Flatbread
It is very true what you say about Norway. It's just something to enjoy and see something minute by minute.
But its rlly not tho, me as a norwegian have never heard of doing this at any time of year or holidays.
Philippines: You can't sleep on New Year, It's like a night war it will make your ears bleed! 😂
0:46 - also dutch stairs
The Norway one is so true 😂 like seriously everyone watches a pork cook on December the 24th, and also hurtigruta 😂
What do you make alcohol out of? Serbia:YES
In myanmar, You are supposed to go on holiday every saturday to sunday
In Slovakia we too do that on Easter like Czech Republic + we splash them with cold water
0:26 Colombia too lmao
2:00 i do that too, because i have to make the milk first, i don’t have the milk ready.
Egypt knows a few things about bread, I trust Egypt!
"Its okay to put milk first then cereal!"
Me: I do that......
In Trinidad and Tobago: it is normal to see a bag or tin of crix in every single household
and it is normal to chow absolutely everything.

South Korea : highschool ends at 10pm and the students all go to their academy so lots of kid return home at 12am or 1am
1:26 wallahi that’s true we import the most wheat on the planet as well.
Bread sounds similar to life but it doesn’t mean that.
*You need bread*
French here
Yup we store milk at room temperature (when the bottle is not opened yet). And we complain lots because we are never satisfied for some reason ? Idk it's sorta satisfying ? Also strikes are common as hekk in here lol.
However we very rarely eat snails, even though they're part of our gastronomy.
Other weird stuff we do :
- frog legs are part of our gastronomy as well (rarely eaten)
- if you arrive "too early" (aka right on time) at your friend's place it's lowkey impolite
- le french cheese, that has been banned from the USA because qualified as "health hazard" or something (one of them, Roquefort, has been banned because of its legendary green-blue moisture, which is a type of penicillin. In other terms, it may stink but we have been doing that for centuries)
- "la bise", one or several kisses on the cheek to say hello (our Romance neighbors and some Latin-American countries do that too I think ?). In here you do la bise to coworkers, friends, family, friends' friends...
- we have a day for crêpes
- the McDonalds logo has a green background instead of red
- food is a religion in here, really- (up to five meals a day, we love our gastronomy dearly and we talk about food while eating)
- we have way too many public holidays in May. Plus we have a "bridges" system : if a public holiday falls on a Tuesday, then you get Monday as a bonus holiday. If it falls on a Thursday, the Friday is a public holiday too. Got it ?
- we are masters at switching between "tu" (singular, informal "you") and "vous" (singular, formal "you", also our regular plural "you"). People who learn French need diagrams for that
and that's pretty much it for now eheh
