Haha our Finnish pride Robin, missed the chance to tell them the iconic finnish sentence. ”Kokko, kokoo koko kokko kokoon. Koko kokkoko? Koko kokko.” Translated it would be.. ”Kokko (a last name in finland), put together the whole bonfire. The whole bonfire? The whole bonfire. Also the fact that the word ”kuusi” can mean ”a Spruce” the ”number six” or ”your moon”. The sentence, ”Kuusi palaa” would mean ”Six pieces.” ”Your spruce is on fire.” ”The spruce returns” ”your moon is on fire” ”Your moon returns” ”Number six returns” ”Number six is on fire” ”Six of them returns” ”Six of them are on fire” Also had to laugh at the ”das auto” coming from Robin. I thought the same thing at the same moment.😂
Kinda pained me to see that Robin didn't know much about Finnish language structure. It's common misconception to think Finnish grammar makes no sense when it actually does. It is complicated but it has rules. Would be more interesting if actual linguists would compare the languages.
And he didn’t even take the french girl up on the bs that she can’t even read finnish. Just learn the phonemes for the letters and you’re good to go. Français au contraire 😅
@@Tenseiken_ I could tell you more but I doubt people are interested. I studied Finnish language in university so I actually know what I'm talking about.
@@pyrylehtonen-caponigro3198 not almost, it's pretty much possible. Only exception is with words that end with an s. Otherwise finnish can be spelled with Japanese charcaters. But others can give some more examples on those exceptions, because iI can't think of anything else right now.
@@mahamann7734 I'm Finnish and I've studied Japanese. In Finnish there's a wider variety of consonants that can be put together and Finnish has 8 vowels instead of 5 and Finnish doesn't have the う sound, but has 2 similar sounds which are u and y
@@pyrylehtonen-caponigro3198 That's cool, because I'm also finnish, and I've also done my fair share of japanese practice. Aside from words that have two different consonants next to each other, other finnish words can be spelled via japanese characters. Altho it's not possible to differentiate between L and R.
@@mahamann7734 and you can't have any words with ä or ö or properly with u or y also anything with ti, si or the letter v are not possible in standard Japanese.
😅😅😅 Taking Thai as a reference, the French girl literally took French out of the title of most difficult language. Now if you put English x French then it's already for French it gets the title of a difficult language to spare 😂😂😂😂😂🎂🎂🎂🎂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🌷❤
German girl was doing the tactic with which our current councelor got his job: Try to be as quiet and invisible as possible and avoid anything that could make people ask questions. Speak only the bare minimum and only when called out. It worked well, i must say. She avoided the fact that 'die' (feminin singular aritcle) is also the default plural article for everything. Or that some words are identical in singular and plural except the article. Or that the pronounciation of several letters (especially vowels) can change drastically depending on the following letters. And so on.
When I was a bit younger, almost every girl close to my age was a big fan of Robin. After these years it's so cool to see how he's still doing so well and even making content with one of my favourite kpop groups, 8Turn!! I really loved watching this

Mutta Robin ei osaa suomea, kun hän sanoo, että suomen kielessä kaikki on "se". Vain puhekielessä, mutta ei yleiskielessä, jossa on sana "hän" ihmisille. Virallisissa yhteyksissä kuten mediassa ei käytetä sanaa "se" ihmisistä. Se olisi huonoa kieltä. Eikä Robin osaa selittää sijapäätteitä eikä sitä, että korean kielessä on samanlaista rakennetta kuten esim. "na"/"nahante" = "minä"/"minulle"..

Few points Robin could have used to justify his case to make Finnish seem the easiest: Phonetic language, everything is always pronounced the same way it is written, one does not have to guess; emphasis always on the first syllable; order of the words is rather irrelevant, people will understand you anyway; and as he mentioned, no gender, but also no articles in the language.
@@LuizFelipe-x7n não... acho que usaram ela só como enfeite nesse vídeo. Andam fazendo isso direto com brasileiros. Colocam eles em vídeos que não precisa ou então n dão espaço pra eles (querem as visualizações do Brasil)
Robin didn't know what Finnish is related. It's finno ugric language, other languages in same family Estonian, hungarian and some minor languages in Russia.
Please, if any participant reads this, if Robin ever says he/she is "it", ("se") in Finnish, please correct him by saying it is when you speak informally among friends, but Formal is "Hän", which is both he and she. We don't speak to people generally, as though they are things.
Many many times people have gotten offended from me using "Hän" instead of "se" = it or "tämä/toi/tuo/tää" = that, because it sounds way too polite for them like they would be really old or something. By my experience it is easier to be too polite than too rude. Respect on the other hand is a different thing.
Hmm I'm finnish myself and I will have to say I really don't think it matters unless you are in a professional setting. Hän is far more formal and actually I've seen people feel more uncomfortable with that word than something more informal/casual. Even I often refer to others as "it", like "toi" "se" or "tää", it's just what almost everyone here does regardless of whether we know each other or not. Also maybe more accurately "hän" is a singular "they/them" in english, it is an entirely neutral pronoun.
Don't worry your language is still more progressive than my German dialect. Contrary to standard high German we just have two genders, but for whatever reason we ended up with masculine and neuter, so a man is masculine while a woman is a thing. This also isn't helped by us naming people with their last name in it's possessive form before the first name. So "et Schmitzens Käthe" would be "that Katharina belonging to the family of the son of the smith" (-(s)en indicates "son of", though our last names no longer change so people are stuck with whatever the relative whose name got first written down into a church book was named)
@@miak4006 I dunno where you're from but definitely not in southeastern finland. Hän usually gets turned into "hää" or something similar but rarely is a person referred to as "se", usually if it's a person that is very removed from the people actually having the dialogue.
It feels sorra bizarre that (guessing?) non-finnish people listen to him, since i grew up listening to his old songs written in finnish when i was like 6 lol
17:06 as a greek learning finnish i agree.... Finnish phonetics except ö\y\ä are almost identical to greek.... Icelandic as well and even more.... To me Finnish when i started (and even now lots of times😢😅😂) sounds like greek gibberish, for examle: "lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas" would be pronounced the exact same way as "λέν'τοκονεσουιχκουτουρμπιινιμοοττοριαπουμεκαανικκοαλιουψεεριοππιλας" (the apostrophe is needed) For me the ranking would be: 1. Thai/korean 2. German 3. Finnish 4. French 5. Portuguese 6. English
I just came home from a vacation in Greece and I found it very easy to pronounce words and names, so that was nice lol. Also you have a very beautiful country, Meteora probably being the most stunning place on the continent.
Hardest to easiest, my vote: 1 Thai 2 Finnish 3 Korean 4 German 5 France 6 Portuguese 7 English I speak portuguese so im not sure, maybe for some people i would change the french with portuguese
Amiga se tu fala português e acha tão fácil assim é porque nunca fez uma prova de gramática né? Nós achamos fácil porque falamos errado, quando você tem que realizar uma prova e verifica como deveria realmente ter elaborado a frase, com quem você deveria ter concordado, qual o plural correto das palavras tu percebe que de fácil não tem nada!
@@paulapalhao9034 na verdade não acho português fácil não, mas acho francês e as línguas acima muito difíceis 🥺 Não só por gramática, mas pronúncias e entonações q são muito únicas pra reproduzir
I'm Finnish, but I'm still VERY confused, OMG! 😅 They all actually are words for a dog, but we don't use most of them in everyday life. Most of the time you need to use/know these words only at school, but that doesn`t make it any easier haha! 😂😂 And yes, the same thing for every word in the Finnish language! 😀
The Korean guy is confusing the Korean alphabet with the language. They're two different things. The language wasn't created to be easy by the king, just the alphabet was. The language is way older and how easy the alphabet is to learn has nothing to do with how easy the language is to learn.
all the other people were talking about reading and their alphabets.. and the alphabet is smth u usually learn to learn the language in a whole, so id say its pretty important whether or not hangeul is easy or not
Korean is easy at the beginning. Alphabet, simple sentences, etc. but to be fluent is difficult…the nuances of the language are overwhelming sometimes.
I imagine that Korean has a lot of homonyms and is difficult to understand because Chinese characters existed in Korean until recently but no longer exist.
That depends on your native language. It’s ridiculous to say French is the hardest language because for Romance-speakers French will be very easier. And on the other hand, Germanic-speakers (apart from English) won’t struggle learning German… I don’t know about Thai, though …
Thai is ridiculously hard to learn and pronounce. I watch a lot of Asian dramas, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Thai. Just from watching them I picked up some of the languages, (although I did know some basic Japanese before). I picked up around 20-30 words each in Korean, Mandarin and Japanese, but maybe 6 very basic words in Thai, Hello, Thank You, Sorry etc and I've watched a lot. They speak so fast and there are no spaces between words, like Korean it has polite and casual forms and the tones just make it almost impossible for someone from a language without tones. I think Thai would only be easier for people from languages with tones.
That's true. Like for me italian is easy to pronounce because when I see it written it is pronounced the same way that the letters are pronounced in finnish. It's odd because the languages are otherwise quite different. I also think that italian words and their meanings seem quite logical(unlike words in my native language).
Well, Ana should have said that Brazilian Portuguese is closer to the 'pure form,' as Portuguese spoken in Portugal has changed over time, while Brazilian Portuguese has preserved some sounds and writing conventions. So...
Essa tese pertence somente ao campo teórico, não temos uma máquina do tempo para comprová-la, até porque até mesmo o Galega já está BEM distante do Português.

brazil did great here, she always gave comments towards other languages, and even while she spoke about portuguese it didnt seem too hard, managing to keep attention far away from it lol. Although i dont think anyone from the table would point something towards portuguese since they dont have a lot of contact or (not)understanding about it. (like how european countries had a lot to talk about each other due to close interactions) I feel like if there was a spanish speaking person, they would be like "Why is portuguese has so many more pronounciantions than spanish if we are rather similar languages??"
some add-ons to robin speaking abt finnish: finnish is part of the uralic language family and even more specifically finno-ugric languages (which include finnish, hungarian, estonian and a lot of smaller languages like the sámi languages, karelian, mari, veps, mansi, udmurt). that's why it's so different from other languages spoken in europe or even in the nordic countries. at the start robin talked abt using the neutral "it" for everything, but that's spoken language. we have a neutral world which is like he/she/they "hän", but that's mostly used in written language, or if it's used in spoken language someone might view you as arrogant or we use it when we speak about a pet in a baby way. what makes finnish hard in my opinion (as a finn), is that the language is so different depending if it's official written language or spoken and inside spoken language the is dialects (and dialects inside dialects, like southwest finnish dialect but inside there is pori region dialect and turku dialect) and slang (e.g. stadin slangi aka capital city helsinki's slang). also yes the french girl was def confusing finnish with slavic languages because finnish in quite vowel heavy in my opinion, or like... there is a healthy balance on vowels and consonants. :D
as someone who speaks finnish, english, korean and some thai I'd say 1. english (Purely for the writing that makes no sense and weird words) 2. finnish (For conjucation and suffixes) long pause 3. thai (Grammar is super easy. Reading/writing a bit of a struggle for me. Tones aren't bad but of course they add to the difficultness) 4. korean (Same reason as finnish but there's less and it's super logical. Reading/writing is super easy and grammar consistent) All the other languages (except thai, finnish and korean) are related to english so it makes sense why'd they think thai is hardest but it's really not.
Well, from a german POV english is in every way (grammar, gender, vocabulary) cause it is just simpler than german. Except the pronounciation, which is also a struggle for us with french. That is until we realize that for english we just have to try to keep our mouth open , even when it's closed, while talking.
@@olgahein4384 well yeah they're both Germanic languages. My first language isn't 🤷♀️ Also as far as I know German is way more phonetically consistent than English.
👩🏻🌾🏞️🇫🇮 Totta! Finnish does not have a lot of consonants. Germanic languages have a lot more, for instance. As a matter of fact, original Finnish does not allow words to start with more than one consonant. For instance, borrowed words, when spoken by 'genuine' Finns, may be changed like this: to train, training - treenata treeni - reenata, reeni. Words with many consonants are most likely compond words. (many words glued together into one long one), or endings added to one word. Germanic languages such as German, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish etc. also have compound words, whereas, by comparison, English has got rid of most of its compound words, so the words are much shorter.
By knowing from a musician that Finish is a hard language to make music, I respect Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish more for his music, the guy is more than a genius.
I'm not a musician, but not sure if I agree with that stance. Finnish is a very adaptable language, which should make it easy for poetry and lyrics. Maybe this Robin geezer is just not that great a writer.
That one Finnish word could be separated to the words it is composed of and looked at word-for-word: "lento, kone, suihku, turbiini, moottori, apu, mekaanikko, ali, upseeri, oppilas", and one should understand the meaning. Most compound words are really straightforward like that. The difficulty in Finnish really only comes from how different it is from what most people know, like English. But unlike English it is quite logical once you get to it.
Robin should learn more about our language since he couldnt even tell what the related languages are. Finnish is uralic language and languages from the same family tree are: estonian, hungarian and quite a few smaller languages for example mari, udmurt, komi and sami languages. It seems like these people dont really understand what makes language hard or easy for certain people. Its technically rather easy for indo-european language speaker (french, german, swedish etc) to learn another indo-european language since they are from the same family tree and have a lot of similarities from technical level to words. Finnish is very hard for most people in the world since they cant relate to anything in it. I learned english from everything since i was a kid but i have studied german for one year and it was hard didnt really pick up anything, same with swedish (3 years) but i know a bit because i have seen that language a lot too. Have been studying korean for a while and from my perspective its somewhat easy but ofc i have more interest in the language than the other ones i studied before. Especially hangul was a nice surprise because there is not many letters to learn.
Yup, I was shocked how little he knew of our mother tongue :D But maybe it was the moment that he just forgot. Our language is so unique and cool and I was us native speakers would know more of it and appreciate it more.
@@Sipu97 yeah! I often am frustrated because i see that many especially younger finns dont appreciate our language and how unique it is. Many people seem to have this idea that there is something embarrasing to be finnish or have a finnish accent while speaking english for example. I have only heard positive about finnish language and accent from outside of Finland 😂 people find it very interesting
Anna was smart in being more quiet and the fact that people don't know much about portuguese, because there's so much you can use to say it's difficult 😂
Thai is like a lot of Indian languages in terms of the alphabets. They have the same alphabets with different inotations depending on the region one comes from.
I am Swedish. In the long Finnish word I at least understood ”turbine engine mechanics” 👍🙂 Finnish is hard to understand though. I am going to try to study some Finnish because my son has moved to Helsinki with his Finnish girlfriend. 🙋♀️🇫🇮🇸🇪
I think one big hurdle to Finnish is the fact that the written version that everybody learns can be very different from the spoken language, which is probably why you find it hard to understand. It's often spoken much faster and skips many syllables of words. For example "minusta" could be: "minust", "musta" or just "must" when spoken depending on dialect or the sentence. Good luck though, as long as you learn some common words and phrases it would make any Finn happy!
I know that Finnish person cause he is a famous singer in Finland❤. Love u Finland and It is really hard cause like this comment if ur country has these letters: Ää Öö Åå. So yeah.
Another argument for Finnish would've been that even though we have a lot of grammar rules, we have very few exceptions. If you find an "exception" it's way more likely that you actually just discovered a new rule that works for words that share some trait. Like talking vowel harmony (a, o, u are one group, ä, ö, y are another group, they can't be in the same word unless the word is a compound word or a loan word. e and i are neutral vowels, they can be in words with either group.) The way they are conjugated also follows vowel harmony, so there's -lla and -llä which both mean at something or mark ownership and you use -lla if the word has a, o, u, and -llä otherwise. With compound words and loan words it goes based on the last non neutral vowel, so not e or i. This, as you can see, is an indepth set of rules but you don't have to have a list of exceptions! There a literally 2 words that are exeptions to this set of rules: meri (sea) and veri (blood). Because they only have neutral vowels they should have -llä, -ssä, -tä, etc. Ä form for everything. But they don't, we say merta and verta while we also say meriä and veriä, merellä and verellä, etc. But they both conjugate the same way. The only irregular verb is olla. It's translates to "be" or, with -lla/-llä on the subject, to "have". We just have 5 different verb types. Once you know the rules for each 5, if you recognize which verb type the verb is you will know how to conjugate it. Also since Robin didn't know, Finnish is a Uralic language. It's related to Sami languages, Estonian, and Hungarian, as well as a bunch of tiny endangered languages primarely around western Russian border, like Mansi, Karelian, Veps, Udmurt, Mari, etc. The relation to Indo-European languages (English, French, German, Portuguese) is that when humanity left Africa through the Middle East, they dropped off the Middle Eastern languages there, proto-Indo-European languages continued to Europe from which Slavic languages branched off quick and Indo-Europeans continued together for a bit and then started to divide to Germanic/Romance/etc., the rest continued to Asia. Uralic languages were in the Asia group until the Ural mountain range where the group split and Uralic langiages headed back, mixing with Mongol languages along the way, eventually it split to a southern group that became Hungarian and a few dead languages and nothern group, then the northern group mixed more with Russian and split to even more north which became the Sami languages and middle which became the rest including Finnish. The remaining Asia group eventually split to East and South Asia, South Asia continued to Oceania so Australia, Phillipines, etc, East Asia continued to North America and from there to South America.
@@daputti5387 is the question "why is it not 'kangasalalla' but 'kangasalla'?" The answer is that "ala" in kangasala is not "ala" like field of study or medicine, where the word stem is "ala" making it alalla, alalta, alalle, but the nominative case of "alla" like below something, so it follows how "alla" is conjugated: the word stem is a, so it's ala, alla, alta, alle. All the words that have that same word follow the same conjugation: päiväsalla (during the day, literally "under the day(light)") is probably the best surviving example of this. It still mostly exists in the savonian dialect, I haven't heard it in general speech, so that could be why you're not that familiar with it. People in western dialects have preferred to keep alla as a separate word like "pöydän alla" while in the east it could've easily been "pöydäsalla". It's just that we very rarely use the nominative, nominatiivi (same case as talo), case for alla which is ala, by itself, it always needs to be referring to what it's under, so the default for it is the adessive case, adessiivi (same case as talolla).
🇫🇮lokative forms of the CAR word. AUTO AUTOT AUTON AUTOJEN AUTONA AUTOINA AUTOON AUTOSSA AUTOLLE AUTOIHIN AUTOISSA AUTOILLE AUTOISTA AUTOSTA AUTOILTA AUTOLTA AUTOKSI AUTOIKSI AUTOA AUTOJA AUTOKIN AUTOTKIN AUTOINEEN AUTOKSIKIN AUTOIKSIKIN… (11k more)There was a small number of them. The same inflections for all words but in a sifferent way for all 8003 adjektives, 77 559 sunbstantives and 6 849 verbs.🗿
And people complain about german being hard. Auto (singular), Autos (plural). End of story. Just kidding, that's spoken language. A car is officially 'Personenkraftfahrzeug' or 'Personenkraftwagen' which can be officially shortened to 'PKW'.
As a Thai person, I'd say even though our consonants, vowel, words intonation are very complex, the good news is our grammar is very easy compared to any other language. We don't have tenses, less rules and you can also break some rules and people won't judge you as an uneducated person (E.g.preposition) so let's go learn Thai haha!
Although Finnish is pronounced "as it is written", what makes Finnish hard too (in addition to grammar) is that almost nobody speaks the way the language is written. Finnish has kirjakieli and puhekieli, written language and spoken language. And depending the area where someone lives, the spoken language can differ quite much.
Yes, we have many different dialects and slang words that are not familiar to Finnish language students. You can learn them by listening to native Finnish speakers.
Some rankings are bit different for the last 5 but generally quite similar to what are viewed as the hardest languges in the world: Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Finnish, Hungarian, Icelandic, Georgian, and Navajo. Ofc it all depends on what your own language is since like its quite more easy for estonian to learn finnish than french or whatever so you cant really rank them always.
imo russian isn't that hard. Similar to german, it follows the rules quite strictly, so once you know the rules it's easy. It just has more rules. Also some rules are contrary to most european languages. And other rules are just non-existent in other languages. But at least they don't have articles.
In one research they measured how many hours it takes to reach fluency in a language. French was 500 hours, English 1000 hours and German 2000 hours. As a Finn i found German to be easiest to read and pronounce and to listen of these 3 languages because it seems more structured and clear to make sense of the sounds. In English and French most of the words have to be learned by heart and memory to be able to speak, the writing and pronounciation are so far from each other and difficult to connect 'em. Too many words with silent letters, maybe its mostly the French influenced words in English. It took me years to learn English even tho it was my favorite subjects in school and i used my free time to learn more of it, still it was painfully slow to reach a speaking level. As for Portuguese, i learned in few months to be able to listen and speak like in intermediate level
As a finnish i feel like robin should have told them about the fact that kuusi and palaa have many different meanings put like that first of all and when put together kuusi palaa it has many meanings too.
Actually what Robin said about him/her is incorrect, we do have a word that is for him/her but it is used for both genders, "hän" and it is "se". If formally speak to someone "hän" should be used, "se" works too if it's casual.
Hard to believe Robin finished his matriculation exam with his knowledge of the Finnish language. I guess he's been on the road so long that he forgot most of what was taught.
Well you don't need to know the linguistic side of the language to read and write it for the exams when you're a native. Kids talk the language fluently years before even learning cases (nominatiivi, genetiivi, partitiivi etc.) are a thing, grammar just isn't something you actively think about if you're not a learner. Reading and explaining the long word he should've been able to do though, it's not complicated at all to parse through bit by bit.
I’m so happy ‘cause I’m learning Thai and I can see the differences between the tones she said in this video, I’m really happy for that. And about the alphabet, I wanna die everytime I have to practice hahahahaha xo 🇧🇷
Other languages such as German, English, French and Portuguese are easy languages and studied beyond belief all over the world, they have speakers from every continent you can imagine. The video was cool. It was beautiful. 🥂🧃🧃🍫🍧😂🎶🫂💙📸📷💋💋💋💋
i used to think that french was super hard because of my teacher, but then like 3 months ago i had to do my last french exam and it was actually easy to understand the grammar and structure, and also in spanish we have the homophones, so yeah, i kinda defend her kajskajaja, plus french sounds so beautiful and the pronunciation wasn't that hard
Actually... Finland has weirdly enough most in common with Hungarian, Swedish (slang mostly tho) and Japanese out of all the things. But that's because Japanese and Finnish are very similar, not only in structure, but also in pronounciation and the basic alphabet are near identical :)
okay one thing that was not said about finnish is that basically if you learn finnish, you probably learn the ”book language” (i don’t know what it’s called in english😭maybe it’s called that?) which is the language used in books, and important events etc. but actually finns don’t talk like that. we use like a kind of ’slang’ (?) where we shorten the words and change them a lot. for example: ”one, two, three” in finnish is ”yksi, kaksi, kolme” but actually we say it like ”yks, kaks, kolme” or you can even say ”yy, kaa, koo” (that’s what we normally use, especially when counting many numbers). i hope y’all understood and sorry for my bad english 😭😭😭
I knew that Thai would win before the video opened and developed, after it, Finnish, which is Asian, is complicated and finally Korean is also difficult for those who are Westerners even though it is not tonal, it has a phonetic alphabet and grammar and linguistics that are very adverse to those who are used to Western languages, which has many conjugations and declensions. Everything as expected. I really liked the honesty of the Thai girl that told about Mandarin and Arabic are more complex, they are full of difficult dialects, they are never simple. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Cool vídeo. Love it 😂😂🍧🍫🧃🥂❤💋💋
@@butterflies655 The phrase all European languages came from Asia is dystopian, false, rude and unrelated to the content of the video. Why? For example, Latin, which gave rise to Romance languages such as Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, among others, has its roots in the Italian Peninsula region. Ancient Greek, which gave rise to the modern Greek language, is also an Indo-European language that developed in the region of Greece, on the Attic Peninsula. Both didnt, never came from Asia. Furthermore, there are languages in Europe that do not have Indo-European origins, as is the case of Basque in the Iberian Peninsula, which is an isolated language and has no relationship with any other known language and did not come from Asia. The channel's video on tour real content deals with the most difficult languages to understand and speak, such as Thai, then Finnish and at the end German. The video never spoke of the origin of European languages because it is not the channel's footprint and because it is a complex and very dry topic that is very difficult for those working on the World Friends channel team. Therefore, your sentence is false, rude, stupid, dystopian, with no connection to the theme of the video. Farewell and no chat for you forever.
To correct Robin: we DO have a word for him/her, and it’s not ”it”! It is ”hän” and it is used for both genders! But we can use ”it” when we speak informally, like among friends etc. But in a professional situation, on the phone etc we use ”hän”.
Hello, a native Finnish speaker here... Robin ehh forgot to mention but we do indeed have a third person singular pronoun: "hän" 😄 It's neutral so it can refer to anyone- it's everyone's pronoun in Finnish 👍 He's not totally wrong though, we do tend to refer to people as "it" in spoken Finnish but even though it may seem so to someone non-native, there's no impolite intention behind that. It's just something we're used to 😄
Thai letters are actually quite similar to many Indian languages.. (atleast for telugu & hindi because i know cuz i speak them) just different intonations.. and indian languages are phonetic and we don't have tones thoo..
As a Japanese, ALL the languages having genders are difficult. But for Westerners, our language is considered the most difficult language in the world because our characters’ pronunciation make less sense😂 (e.g. the character “生” we have 183 types of pronunciations)
Japanese is harder and insane in phonetics, writing and spelling, and simbology. Current hodiern japanese uses 4 alphabets today 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 Cccc'mon its never good or rational and never fair it's comes from antoher planet Kinda of pretty insanity.😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋🎵🎵🥂🍫🎂
Brazilian Portuguese is complicated because of the conjugation of verbs, we have many conjugations, We also have accents that change the way we speak and in each region of Brazil there is a different "sotaque"(sotaque is different from accent) sotaque is regional, really a little complicated to explain hahahaha

As a Finn living in England, I have to say that Brazilian Portuguese is not that easy either. Understanding spoken Portuguese in Brazil is so hard. They speak so fast, shorten and combine words, change the order etc. The you got slang and dialects on top.
This entirely broke my brain trying to piece together but in Plains Cree 9999 is kêkâ-mitâtahtwâw kihci mitâtahtomitanâw kêkâ-mitâtahtwâw mitâtahtomitanâw kêkâ-mitâtahtomitanâw kêkâ-mitâtahtosâp (roughly: nine times great hundred, nine times hundred, almost hundred-nineteen). I was curious to see how long it would be so I had to test myself 😂 loved the video guys 💖💕
There is no such thing as the hardest language, it all depends what is your native language, as a Brazilian I can understand almost everything in Spanish even though I've never studied it, for a Japanese probably it's not that easy, where Korean and Mandarin might be not that difficult for a Japanese for me it seems from another world.
None of those languages are actually hard to learn. They all make sense, they all have their rules. But if I would have to rank, it would probably be: 1. German 2. Finnish 3. Thai 4. Portuguese 5. Korean 6. French 7. English
There were 5 european languages in the video: Portuguese, French, English, German and Finnish (which is the most different one out of these). Then there's Korean and Thai, that are from completely different language families, even though they are asian
Honestly, your topic 🤔 is very stupid, even unnecessary and miserable, Finnish, like Estonian and Livonian ,Karelian, etc. are Asian Finnic Ugric languages from the Altaic tundra. Finnish has echoes, linguistic features and sound vibrations loved and desired by Mongolian Siberians, Koreans, Chineses and Japaneses. The vowel and consonant combinations in Finnish are explicitly Asian, there is no denying that. In fact, Finnish is a super agglutinative, super synthetic but super conjugational language. Finnish is much respected and loved in Asia, like its ancestor Finnic Altaic. The Finn has never been, is not and will not be European, he was born Asian and will die a tundra Asian, simple as that.

The English speakers as always don´t understand gendered languages, but it seems they couldn´t explain the reason for gendered languages. It's just a CLASS of words that use the same suffixes used for male and female so the language will have less. In some languages, the genders are ANIMATE and INANIMATE for example. Gender doesn´t really means anything related to sex when talking about languages and thus a gender attached to an object doesn´t give the object a sex. The whole purpose of gender is actually that the gender requires all words related to the main noun to MATCH in suffix the gender of the main word. And that often leads to disambiguation when you are in doubt about some word you may have misheard.
I saw on the comments that I lot of people got scared about the Thai Alphabet, and it’s the language I’m studying right now, so I’m gonna put here the alphabet with the original letters, the sound (a word in english).

It’s more like an India accent inguess. But you can imagine that there’s more R, like RRIVER) idk lol 36. ล (l = long) 37. ว (w = wow) 38. ศ (s = soft) 39. ษ (s = soul) 40. ส (s = sound) 41. ห (h = hope) 42. ฬ (l = siLent) 43. อ (silent or 'a') = (orange) 44. ฮ (h = horse) If someone from Thailand see this and wanna comment some ideas or better examples, please feel free, I’ll change it for better understanding. Please, like this comment ‘cause wasn’t easy to write all of this. And of course, none of them are use as vowels, ‘cause they have a different way to vowels but I prefer not to say here so you guys don’t get confused by. Bye!
I think the most difficult ones are the ones that are going extinct because there are few speakers. Also, different African languages literally have clicks in them.
Haha our Finnish pride Robin, missed the chance to tell them the iconic finnish sentence.
”Kokko, kokoo koko kokko kokoon. Koko kokkoko? Koko kokko.”
Translated it would be.. ”Kokko (a last name in finland), put together the whole bonfire. The whole bonfire? The whole bonfire.
Also the fact that the word ”kuusi” can mean ”a Spruce” the ”number six” or ”your moon”.
The sentence, ”Kuusi palaa” would mean
”Six pieces.”
”Your spruce is on fire.”
”The spruce returns”
”your moon is on fire”
”Your moon returns”
”Number six returns”
”Number six is on fire”
”Six of them returns”
”Six of them are on fire”
Also had to laugh at the ”das auto” coming from Robin. I thought the same thing at the same moment.😂

YESSS
Yeah i guess regular people explain their languages differently. Would be interesting to see

Yeah, you can almost write Finnish in katakana. Finnish avoids consonant clusters and words rarely end with a consonant
@@pyrylehtonen-caponigro3198 not almost, it's pretty much possible. Only exception is with words that end with an s. Otherwise finnish can be spelled with Japanese charcaters. But others can give some more examples on those exceptions, because iI can't think of anything else right now.
@@mahamann7734 I'm Finnish and I've studied Japanese. In Finnish there's a wider variety of consonants that can be put together and Finnish has 8 vowels instead of 5 and Finnish doesn't have the う sound, but has 2 similar sounds which are u and y
@@pyrylehtonen-caponigro3198 That's cool, because I'm also finnish, and I've also done my fair share of japanese practice. Aside from words that have two different consonants next to each other, other finnish words can be spelled via japanese characters. Altho it's not possible to differentiate between L and R.
@@mahamann7734 and you can't have any words with ä or ö or properly with u or y also anything with ti, si or the letter v are not possible in standard Japanese.

Now if you put English x French then it's already for French it gets the title of a difficult language to spare 😂😂😂😂😂🎂🎂🎂🎂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🌷❤
German girl was doing the tactic with which our current councelor got his job: Try to be as quiet and invisible as possible and avoid anything that could make people ask questions. Speak only the bare minimum and only when called out. It worked well, i must say. She avoided the fact that 'die' (feminin singular aritcle) is also the default plural article for everything. Or that some words are identical in singular and plural except the article. Or that the pronounciation of several letters (especially vowels) can change drastically depending on the following letters. And so on.
It’s one of the easiest😭😭

Few points Robin could have used to justify his case to make Finnish seem the easiest: Phonetic language, everything is always pronounced the same way it is written, one does not have to guess; emphasis always on the first syllable; order of the words is rather irrelevant, people will understand you anyway; and as he mentioned, no gender, but also no articles in the language.

Robin didn't know what Finnish is related. It's finno ugric language, other languages in same family Estonian, hungarian and some minor languages in Russia.
Please, if any participant reads this, if Robin ever says he/she is "it", ("se") in Finnish, please correct him by saying it is when you speak informally among friends, but Formal is "Hän", which is both he and she. We don't speak to people generally, as though they are things.
Many many times people have gotten offended from me using "Hän" instead of "se" = it or "tämä/toi/tuo/tää" = that, because it sounds way too polite for them like they would be really old or something. By my experience it is easier to be too polite than too rude. Respect on the other hand is a different thing.
We do generally refer to people as "it" (se) tho, in spoken Finnish.
Hmm I'm finnish myself and I will have to say I really don't think it matters unless you are in a professional setting. Hän is far more formal and actually I've seen people feel more uncomfortable with that word than something more informal/casual. Even I often refer to others as "it", like "toi" "se" or "tää", it's just what almost everyone here does regardless of whether we know each other or not. Also maybe more accurately "hän" is a singular "they/them" in english, it is an entirely neutral pronoun.
Don't worry your language is still more progressive than my German dialect.
Contrary to standard high German we just have two genders, but for whatever reason we ended up with masculine and neuter, so a man is masculine while a woman is a thing.
This also isn't helped by us naming people with their last name in it's possessive form before the first name.
So "et Schmitzens Käthe" would be "that Katharina belonging to the family of the son of the smith"
(-(s)en indicates "son of", though our last names no longer change so people are stuck with whatever the relative whose name got first written down into a church book was named)
@@miak4006 I dunno where you're from but definitely not in southeastern finland. Hän usually gets turned into "hää" or something similar but rarely is a person referred to as "se", usually if it's a person that is very removed from the people actually having the dialogue.

@@Travelfast Yep! 😁
You forgot the punchline at the end: "And now the plural forms..."
The Korean guy is confusing the Korean alphabet with the language. They're two different things. The language wasn't created to be easy by the king, just the alphabet was. The language is way older and how easy the alphabet is to learn has nothing to do with how easy the language is to learn.
all the other people were talking about reading and their alphabets.. and the alphabet is smth u usually learn to learn the language in a whole, so id say its pretty important whether or not hangeul is easy or not
Korean is easy at the beginning. Alphabet, simple sentences, etc. but to be fluent is difficult…the nuances of the language are overwhelming sometimes.
I imagine that Korean has a lot of homonyms and is difficult to understand because Chinese characters existed in Korean until recently but no longer exist.
That depends on your native language. It’s ridiculous to say French is the hardest language because for Romance-speakers French will be very easier. And on the other hand, Germanic-speakers (apart from English) won’t struggle learning German… I don’t know about Thai, though …
Thai is ridiculously hard to learn and pronounce. I watch a lot of Asian dramas, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Thai. Just from watching them I picked up some of the languages, (although I did know some basic Japanese before). I picked up around 20-30 words each in Korean, Mandarin and Japanese, but maybe 6 very basic words in Thai, Hello, Thank You, Sorry etc and I've watched a lot. They speak so fast and there are no spaces between words, like Korean it has polite and casual forms and the tones just make it almost impossible for someone from a language without tones. I think Thai would only be easier for people from languages with tones.
That's true. Like for me italian is easy to pronounce because when I see it written it is pronounced the same way that the letters are pronounced in finnish. It's odd because the languages are otherwise quite different. I also think that italian words and their meanings seem quite logical(unlike words in my native language).
Well, Ana should have said that Brazilian Portuguese is closer to the 'pure form,' as Portuguese spoken in Portugal has changed over time, while Brazilian Portuguese has preserved some sounds and writing conventions. So...
That is not proven.

@@Wyllwho Current days' Brazilian Portuguese says otherwise. "Tu viu?" What is this???
brazil did great here, she always gave comments towards other languages, and even while she spoke about portuguese it didnt seem too hard, managing to keep attention far away from it lol. Although i dont think anyone from the table would point something towards portuguese since they dont have a lot of contact or (not)understanding about it. (like how european countries had a lot to talk about each other due to close interactions)
I feel like if there was a spanish speaking person, they would be like "Why is portuguese has so many more pronounciantions than spanish if we are rather similar languages??"
some add-ons to robin speaking abt finnish: finnish is part of the uralic language family and even more specifically finno-ugric languages (which include finnish, hungarian, estonian and a lot of smaller languages like the sámi languages, karelian, mari, veps, mansi, udmurt). that's why it's so different from other languages spoken in europe or even in the nordic countries. at the start robin talked abt using the neutral "it" for everything, but that's spoken language. we have a neutral world which is like he/she/they "hän", but that's mostly used in written language, or if it's used in spoken language someone might view you as arrogant or we use it when we speak about a pet in a baby way. what makes finnish hard in my opinion (as a finn), is that the language is so different depending if it's official written language or spoken and inside spoken language the is dialects (and dialects inside dialects, like southwest finnish dialect but inside there is pori region dialect and turku dialect) and slang (e.g. stadin slangi aka capital city helsinki's slang).
also yes the french girl was def confusing finnish with slavic languages because finnish in quite vowel heavy in my opinion, or like... there is a healthy balance on vowels and consonants. :D
as someone who speaks finnish, english, korean and some thai I'd say
1. english (Purely for the writing that makes no sense and weird words)
2. finnish (For conjucation and suffixes)

4. korean (Same reason as finnish but there's less and it's super logical. Reading/writing is super easy and grammar consistent)
All the other languages (except thai, finnish and korean) are related to english so it makes sense why'd they think thai is hardest but it's really not.
Well, from a german POV english is in every way (grammar, gender, vocabulary) cause it is just simpler than german. Except the pronounciation, which is also a struggle for us with french. That is until we realize that for english we just have to try to keep our mouth open , even when it's closed, while talking.
@@olgahein4384 well yeah they're both Germanic languages. My first language isn't 🤷♀️ Also as far as I know German is way more phonetically consistent than English.
I don't understand, Finnish is not a consonant heavy language, and we have few consonant clusters
Probably mixed it up with Slavic languages
👩🏻🌾🏞️🇫🇮 Totta! Finnish does not have a lot of consonants. Germanic languages have a lot more, for instance. As a matter of fact, original Finnish does not allow words to start with more than one consonant. For instance, borrowed words, when spoken by 'genuine' Finns, may be changed like this:
to train, training - treenata treeni - reenata, reeni.
Words with many consonants are most likely compond words. (many words glued together into one long one), or endings added to one word. Germanic languages such as German, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish etc. also have compound words, whereas, by comparison, English has got rid of most of its compound words, so the words are much shorter.
By knowing from a musician that Finish is a hard language to make music, I respect Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish more for his music, the guy is more than a genius.
Yeah!! Love him
He does make his music for the most part in english though. Still my favorite poet and composer and band, but just saying.
@olgahein4384 well, he does double effort. He think in finish and has to translate it to English.
I'm not a musician, but not sure if I agree with that stance.
Finnish is a very adaptable language, which should make it easy for poetry and lyrics.
Maybe this Robin geezer is just not that great a writer.
I vote for French. As a Romance language, it has no bussiness being that hard.
Agreed
Thai alphabets sounds so similar to hindi/sanskrit/bengali alphabets ...I am really shocked ❤
That one Finnish word could be separated to the words it is composed of and looked at word-for-word: "lento, kone, suihku, turbiini, moottori, apu, mekaanikko, ali, upseeri, oppilas", and one should understand the meaning. Most compound words are really straightforward like that.
The difficulty in Finnish really only comes from how different it is from what most people know, like English. But unlike English it is quite logical once you get to it.
This
It should be too. It is not a real word at all, just a joke on how you can combine words in Finnish language almost eternally if you so wish.
OMGG 8TURN and Robin in the same videooo, my life is completed.
Who was the right 8turn member
Robin should learn more about our language since he couldnt even tell what the related languages are. Finnish is uralic language and languages from the same family tree are: estonian, hungarian and quite a few smaller languages for example mari, udmurt, komi and sami languages.
It seems like these people dont really understand what makes language hard or easy for certain people. Its technically rather easy for indo-european language speaker (french, german, swedish etc) to learn another indo-european language since they are from the same family tree and have a lot of similarities from technical level to words. Finnish is very hard for most people in the world since they cant relate to anything in it.
I learned english from everything since i was a kid but i have studied german for one year and it was hard didnt really pick up anything, same with swedish (3 years) but i know a bit because i have seen that language a lot too. Have been studying korean for a while and from my perspective its somewhat easy but ofc i have more interest in the language than the other ones i studied before. Especially hangul was a nice surprise because there is not many letters to learn.
Yup, I was shocked how little he knew of our mother tongue :D But maybe it was the moment that he just forgot. Our language is so unique and cool and I was us native speakers would know more of it and appreciate it more.
@@Sipu97 yeah! I often am frustrated because i see that many especially younger finns dont appreciate our language and how unique it is. Many people seem to have this idea that there is something embarrasing to be finnish or have a finnish accent while speaking english for example. I have only heard positive about finnish language and accent from outside of Finland 😂 people find it very interesting
@@Sipu97 but other than that i think Robin puts on a class act when representing finnish people 👍

I think one big hurdle to Finnish is the fact that the written version that everybody learns can be very different from the spoken language, which is probably why you find it hard to understand. It's often spoken much faster and skips many syllables of words. For example "minusta" could be: "minust", "musta" or just "must" when spoken depending on dialect or the sentence. Good luck though, as long as you learn some common words and phrases it would make any Finn happy!

Another argument for Finnish would've been that even though we have a lot of grammar rules, we have very few exceptions. If you find an "exception" it's way more likely that you actually just discovered a new rule that works for words that share some trait. Like talking vowel harmony (a, o, u are one group, ä, ö, y are another group, they can't be in the same word unless the word is a compound word or a loan word. e and i are neutral vowels, they can be in words with either group.) The way they are conjugated also follows vowel harmony, so there's -lla and -llä which both mean at something or mark ownership and you use -lla if the word has a, o, u, and -llä otherwise. With compound words and loan words it goes based on the last non neutral vowel, so not e or i. This, as you can see, is an indepth set of rules but you don't have to have a list of exceptions! There a literally 2 words that are exeptions to this set of rules: meri (sea) and veri (blood). Because they only have neutral vowels they should have -llä, -ssä, -tä, etc. Ä form for everything. But they don't, we say merta and verta while we also say meriä and veriä, merellä and verellä, etc. But they both conjugate the same way. The only irregular verb is olla. It's translates to "be" or, with -lla/-llä on the subject, to "have". We just have 5 different verb types. Once you know the rules for each 5, if you recognize which verb type the verb is you will know how to conjugate it. Also since Robin didn't know, Finnish is a Uralic language. It's related to Sami languages, Estonian, and Hungarian, as well as a bunch of tiny endangered languages primarely around western Russian border, like Mansi, Karelian, Veps, Udmurt, Mari, etc. The relation to Indo-European languages (English, French, German, Portuguese) is that when humanity left Africa through the Middle East, they dropped off the Middle Eastern languages there, proto-Indo-European languages continued to Europe from which Slavic languages branched off quick and Indo-Europeans continued together for a bit and then started to divide to Germanic/Romance/etc., the rest continued to Asia. Uralic languages were in the Asia group until the Ural mountain range where the group split and Uralic langiages headed back, mixing with Mongol languages along the way, eventually it split to a southern group that became Hungarian and a few dead languages and nothern group, then the northern group mixed more with Russian and split to even more north which became the Sami languages and middle which became the rest including Finnish. The remaining Asia group eventually split to East and South Asia, South Asia continued to Oceania so Australia, Phillipines, etc, East Asia continued to North America and from there to South America.
I see your point but how do you explain "Kangasalla"
@@daputti5387 is the question "why is it not 'kangasalalla' but 'kangasalla'?" The answer is that "ala" in kangasala is not "ala" like field of study or medicine, where the word stem is "ala" making it alalla, alalta, alalle, but the nominative case of "alla" like below something, so it follows how "alla" is conjugated: the word stem is a, so it's ala, alla, alta, alle. All the words that have that same word follow the same conjugation: päiväsalla (during the day, literally "under the day(light)") is probably the best surviving example of this. It still mostly exists in the savonian dialect, I haven't heard it in general speech, so that could be why you're not that familiar with it. People in western dialects have preferred to keep alla as a separate word like "pöydän alla" while in the east it could've easily been "pöydäsalla". It's just that we very rarely use the nominative, nominatiivi (same case as talo), case for alla which is ala, by itself, it always needs to be referring to what it's under, so the default for it is the adessive case, adessiivi (same case as talolla).
🇫🇮lokative forms of the CAR word. AUTO AUTOT AUTON AUTOJEN AUTONA AUTOINA AUTOON AUTOSSA AUTOLLE AUTOIHIN AUTOISSA AUTOILLE AUTOISTA AUTOSTA AUTOILTA AUTOLTA AUTOKSI AUTOIKSI AUTOA AUTOJA AUTOKIN AUTOTKIN AUTOINEEN AUTOKSIKIN AUTOIKSIKIN… (11k more)There was a small number of them. The same inflections for all words but in a sifferent way for all 8003 adjektives, 77 559 sunbstantives and 6 849 verbs.🗿
So proud of our language 😌✨
And people complain about german being hard. Auto (singular), Autos (plural). End of story.
Just kidding, that's spoken language. A car is officially 'Personenkraftfahrzeug' or 'Personenkraftwagen' which can be officially shortened to 'PKW'.
As a Thai person, I'd say even though our consonants, vowel, words intonation are very complex, the good news is our grammar is very easy compared to any other language. We don't have tenses, less rules and you can also break some rules and people won't judge you as an uneducated person (E.g.preposition) so let's go learn Thai haha!
Although Finnish is pronounced "as it is written", what makes Finnish hard too (in addition to grammar) is that almost nobody speaks the way the language is written. Finnish has kirjakieli and puhekieli, written language and spoken language. And depending the area where someone lives, the spoken language can differ quite much.
Yes, we have many different dialects and slang words that are not familiar to Finnish language students. You can learn them by listening to native Finnish speakers.

In Brazil we have a meme that is called traumatizing exchangers with words that are the same but veryyyy different meanings
O francês está em um nível completamente diferente
Some rankings are bit different for the last 5 but generally quite similar to what are viewed as the hardest languges in the world: Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Finnish, Hungarian, Icelandic, Georgian, and Navajo.
Ofc it all depends on what your own language is since like its quite more easy for estonian to learn finnish than french or whatever so you cant really rank them always.
imo russian isn't that hard. Similar to german, it follows the rules quite strictly, so once you know the rules it's easy. It just has more rules. Also some rules are contrary to most european languages. And other rules are just non-existent in other languages. But at least they don't have articles.
@@olgahein4384 i havent rly studied russian but id agree that it does not seem nearly as complicated like the others on the list.
In one research they measured how many hours it takes to reach fluency in a language. French was 500 hours, English 1000 hours and German 2000 hours. As a Finn i found German to be easiest to read and pronounce and to listen of these 3 languages because it seems more structured and clear to make sense of the sounds. In English and French most of the words have to be learned by heart and memory to be able to speak, the writing and pronounciation are so far from each other and difficult to connect 'em. Too many words with silent letters, maybe its mostly the French influenced words in English. It took me years to learn English even tho it was my favorite subjects in school and i used my free time to learn more of it, still it was painfully slow to reach a speaking level. As for Portuguese, i learned in few months to be able to listen and speak like in intermediate level
As a finnish i feel like robin should have told them about the fact that kuusi and palaa have many different meanings put like that first of all and when put together kuusi palaa it has many meanings too.
I love that discussion, please make more videos about knowledgeable topics
Actually what Robin said about him/her is incorrect, we do have a word that is for him/her but it is used for both genders, "hän" and it is "se".
If formally speak to someone "hän" should be used, "se" works too if it's casual.

Hard to believe Robin finished his matriculation exam with his knowledge of the Finnish language. I guess he's been on the road so long that he forgot most of what was taught.
Well you don't need to know the linguistic side of the language to read and write it for the exams when you're a native. Kids talk the language fluently years before even learning cases (nominatiivi, genetiivi, partitiivi etc.) are a thing, grammar just isn't something you actively think about if you're not a learner.
Reading and explaining the long word he should've been able to do though, it's not complicated at all to parse through bit by bit.
I’m just obsessed either way this videos. I love to learn and as a Brazilian there’s a lot to share about Brasil ❤

Ana está nesse canal 🇧🇷💙
Actually... Finland has weirdly enough most in common with Hungarian, Swedish (slang mostly tho) and Japanese out of all the things. But that's because Japanese and Finnish are very similar, not only in structure, but also in pronounciation and the basic alphabet are near identical :)
okay one thing that was not said about finnish is that basically if you learn finnish, you probably learn the ”book language” (i don’t know what it’s called in english😭maybe it’s called that?) which is the language used in books, and important events etc. but actually finns don’t talk like that. we use like a kind of ’slang’ (?) where we shorten the words and change them a lot. for example: ”one, two, three” in finnish is ”yksi, kaksi, kolme” but actually we say it like ”yks, kaks, kolme” or you can even say ”yy, kaa, koo” (that’s what we normally use, especially when counting many numbers). i hope y’all understood and sorry for my bad english 😭😭😭
I knew that Thai would win before the video opened and developed, after it, Finnish, which is Asian, is complicated and finally Korean is also difficult for those who are Westerners even though it is not tonal, it has a phonetic alphabet and grammar and linguistics that are very adverse to those who are used to Western languages, which has many conjugations and declensions.
Everything as expected.
I really liked the honesty of the Thai girl that told about Mandarin and Arabic are more complex, they are full of difficult dialects, they are never simple.

All the European languages came from Asia.
@@butterflies655 The phrase all European languages came from Asia is dystopian, false, rude and unrelated to the content of the video.
Why?
For example, Latin, which gave rise to Romance languages such as Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, among others, has its roots in the Italian Peninsula region.
Ancient Greek, which gave rise to the modern Greek language, is also an Indo-European language that developed in the region of Greece, on the Attic Peninsula.
Both didnt, never came from Asia.
Furthermore, there are languages in Europe that do not have Indo-European origins, as is the case of Basque in the Iberian Peninsula, which is an isolated language and has no relationship with any other known language and did not come from Asia.
The channel's video on tour real content deals with the most difficult languages to understand and speak, such as Thai, then Finnish and at the end German.
The video never spoke of the origin of European languages because it is not the channel's footprint and because it is a complex and very dry topic that is very difficult for those working on the World Friends channel team.
Therefore, your sentence is false, rude, stupid, dystopian, with no connection to the theme of the video.
Farewell and no chat for you forever.

To correct Robin: we DO have a word for him/her, and it’s not ”it”! It is ”hän” and it is used for both genders! But we can use ”it” when we speak informally, like among friends etc. But in a professional situation, on the phone etc we use ”hän”.

There is no such thing as the hardest language, it all depends what is your native language, as a Brazilian I can understand almost everything in Spanish even though I've never studied it, for a Japanese probably it's not that easy, where Korean and Mandarin might be not that difficult for a Japanese for me it seems from another world.

Oh Robin, you dont really know much about the mechanics of finnish do you, listening your explanations was a bit painful. 😅😅
We should have sent Esa Tikkanen instead of this numpty.
There were 5 european languages in the video: Portuguese, French, English, German and Finnish (which is the most different one out of these). Then there's Korean and Thai, that are from completely different language families, even though they are asian
Yeah. Finnish almost has more in common with Korean (and Japanese) than with the other Euro languages
Honestly, your topic 🤔 is very stupid, even unnecessary and miserable, Finnish, like Estonian and Livonian ,Karelian, etc. are Asian Finnic Ugric languages from the Altaic tundra.
Finnish has echoes, linguistic features and sound vibrations loved and desired by Mongolian Siberians, Koreans, Chineses and Japaneses.
The vowel and consonant combinations in Finnish are explicitly Asian, there is no denying that.
In fact, Finnish is a super agglutinative, super synthetic but super conjugational language.
Finnish is much respected and loved in Asia, like its ancestor Finnic Altaic.
The Finn has never been, is not and will not be European, he was born Asian and will die a tundra Asian, simple as that.

The English speakers as always don´t understand gendered languages, but it seems they couldn´t explain the reason for gendered languages. It's just a CLASS of words that use the same suffixes used for male and female so the language will have less.
In some languages, the genders are ANIMATE and INANIMATE for example. Gender doesn´t really means anything related to sex when talking about languages and thus a gender attached to an object doesn´t give the object a sex.
The whole purpose of gender is actually that the gender requires all words related to the main noun to MATCH in suffix the gender of the main word. And that often leads to disambiguation when you are in doubt about some word you may have misheard.

And of course, none of them are use as vowels, ‘cause they have a different way to vowels but I prefer not to say here so you guys don’t get confused by. Bye!
As a Native English speaker, I find that Finnish is actually sooo much easier to pronounce and read than German. ✨️😅
I think the most difficult ones are the ones that are going extinct because there are few speakers. Also, different African languages literally have clicks in them.
Am i the only one only here for minho and jaehyun?
I loved. More videos like this please.
