It annoys me that they don't get that German, Danish, English and Flemish are all Germanic languages and therefore obviously have similar words and origin, it shouldn't be surprising!!!
Don't be too hard on the young ladies 😉
Plus, some origins from the Latin language
Those are basic from primary school. Should be hard on them. To be so ingnorant is sad in XXI century.
American girl didn't know Italia is the same thing as Italy, don't be surprised xd
Every time I watch these videos, I think the exact same thing. I’m pretty sure that all the Germanic-languages-speaking girls know that their languages have the same origin and I always wonder why they are not saying anything. It annoys me - a German native speaker - every time tbh. 😅
The Polish girl isn't 'Aylie', she's 'Anna', and if you want to say it shorter it's 'Ania' (as she said). Greetings from Poland :)

The polish girl's diction is so beautiful! Also her name is Ania, not Aylie
Yeah, but didn't see name issue here, sh1tstrom is unnecessary. That translates directly to english name Ann/Annie. End of topic, thank you, have a greamt time! xD
@@MxKxz Ania is Anne not some weird Aylie ...
@@MxKxz Ania doesn’t translate to Aylie 😂🤣 Ania translates to Anna or Ann. No need to feel offended. All of us learn sth new every day, so embrace it and don’t be ignorant lol
Aylie is what she named herself on instagram, thats why Aylie
about SnowWhite Poles say "królewna śnieżka" with translate as "princess snowball"
As an American I'm kind of shocked by how little Shallen knows about language and culture... especially European languages
Especially when you consider she's apparently a big-time runway model who travels the world, but it's good that she seems to be making an effort to learn now.
yea shes really dumb, when the danish girl tells her that the weekdays come from nordic gods, and the us girl say "I hear that but Idk if its accurate tho", SO RUDE, she just told you, thats her culture, thats the origin of your language dumbfk, jeezuz
as an europian that travels oftne to the usa, im not shocked at all, this feels like an avarage im not elaving usa except maybe for canada type of american (and well with how huge usa is i can understand that ofc)
i thought that too, i was almost wondering if she was playing it up for the "shock" factor of the video
As an English person who has only ever lived in England I thought Shallen did fine ! , seven different nations and languages to try and keep on top of cannot be easy while on camera .
As a czech I have to shout out support to the polish lady :)
As a Pole the Czech Republic is wonderful. Would go again.
More Slavic languages please

The latin for car is "automobile", literally "self-moving". Most European languages shortened it to the first part, "auto". In Scandinavia, we shortened it to the last part, "bil".
Samochód also means literally self moving :P
Automobile is still italian, not latin

Fun fact: the Polish word for shark "rekin" likely comes from the French "requin". We have a lot of words borrowed from French lol.
"rekin" is the more popular version but not the official one, officially a shark is "żarłacz"
@@2sebtember721 Not true, "rekin" is a general name for any shark, whereas "żarłacz" pertains only to the genus Carcharodon, e.g. Carcharodon carcharias (great white shark).

Yeah I noticed the German and the Polish words for hair-dresser come from the French word.

Finally! Someone who represents Polish language with a perfect pronounciation and diction. It's pleasing to hear Ania's talking ❤ I've seen too many videos like this one, where Poland was represented by some person speaking with a strong American accent and not sounding Polish at all because the only contact with Poland was through their family roots. But actually Polish is a beautiful language, which you can hear when someone speaks it fluently 😊
Why is it titled like that? They don't discuss Europeans' English. They talk about words in their native languages
☕
cause it is a clickbait title to get the most viewers possible
clickbait obviously
Yes.. absolutely annoying...
"What country you wanna go to?"
"Paris"
so American 🤣
but she obvs didn't imply Paris was a country 😅
@@annabnrd she said she wants to go to Paris....how does that mean she only knows Paris????
"I've always wanted to go to Paris, so France."
Troll fail.
I love how they ask the french what is the closest pronunciation for Luis Vuitton and she answers Blegium and everyone is like of course yeah what a surprise!! but the american girl is sitting there having no idea what they are talking about lol
I have no idea too, explain please?
@@ggerdagg French is one of Belgium's three national languages and even the Dutch-speaking people in Belgium (such as the girl in the video) often come into contact with the French language and speak Dutch with more French influence than people from the Netherlands. Also many Flemish (Dutch-speaking Belgians) learn French at school.
@@mrstrategy9763 Yep pretty much. We, the Dutch, also have a few 'borrowed' words from the French but not nearly as much as the Flemish because they're basically in between us and the French. But it's still easily 200 words like abonnement, coupe, affaire, décor, camping, chantage and so much more. We also learn French at school still, although we can pick between German and French. The majority chooses German because the chance we come in contact with Germany is much larger.
@@hagelslag9312 LOVE your UA-cam name. Without saying another word Every Dutch person in the world would recognize that you are from the Netherlands :)
For those not understanding: 'hagelslag' is how the Dutch name their (chocolate) sprinkles. We also have sprinkles that are not of chocolate, so that's why that word is in parenthesis.
@@gardenjoy5223 its called "shit of mousse" 😉😂
Funny to have two groups of languages that are super similar: French, Italian, Spanish and German, Danish and Dutch
It wasn't Dutch, it was Flamish. Slight difference in both vocabulary and pronounciation. Dutch is spoken in The Netherlands, Flamish in Belgium.
@@TheQRec I know it’s Flemish, but the girl in the video alternated between calling it Dutch and Flemish. A lot of Belgian people call it Dutch, so that’s what I went with in my comment. And either way, it’s still similar to German and Danish, which was what stood out to me 🤷🏼♀️
Germanic Gang vs Latin Gang
I wouldn't say French is "super similar" to italian and spanish
so annoying when the danish girl told them that the weekdays come from nordic gods, the german and belgian were silent, and the us girl said "I heard that but Idk if its accurate tho", SO RUDE, she just told you, its her culture, its the origin of your language, stfu
i'm confused as to why they used very similar languages, it would be way more interesting to have one from each langueage family
I think the point was to see how different words can be in related languages.
Seeing how a word can slightly change from a country to another is also interesting, for example « Hai » was pretty unexpected
How could you make name "Ania" into "Aylie" for Polish girl? Like, how? xD
Aylie is her instagram username so it's not like they made it up, she just uses that nickname
@@sokjabkowy8821 But she introduced herself as Ania,all the other girls have their names written
Didn't 'Sarah' not call herself 'Larah' as well?
Belgium is one of the most "extreme" European country. This small country has two very different languages spoken with germanic and Latin origins.
Ever heard of switzerland? Haha
Yes, Switzerland as well!
Wait untill you hear Limburgish (actually getting more recognizion as a language) and West Flemish. So small yet still very diverse in dialects.
And in Spain we have Euskera (from the Basque Country) which is the only language on the Peninsula that doesn't come from Latin and has its own origin. It doesn't come from any other European language. Apart from Euskera, in Spain there are more co-official languages shared with Spanish (of Latin origin, of course).
You must be from US to say that. hahaha
Fun fact about polish word for car - "samochód": literall meaning is self walking. Original proposed name was "samojedź" (self driving), but it sounded to similar to Samoyed, and at the time people was affraid of Samoydes due to scary stories and predujice.
So the polish word is very similar to "automobile" which gets shortened to "auto" in many languages.
Samochod in Russian would have meaning like "self going"
*Polish = polski Tak trudno zapamiętać?
@@HappyBeezerStudios *Polish
@@CarriettaCarrieWhite interesting fact, if someone says in Russian "samoyed" it would be understood as the man eating himself.
Interesting! I'm just a little bit sorry that there was only Polish representative of many European Slavic languages. Languages inside Germanic and Latin groups are quite similar, it's obvious.
Świetnie nas reprezentowałaś Ania! Dobra robota :)
Yes, congrats Ania 🙏❤️
im polish, the polish girl said "hey my name is Ania" Ania comes from Anna, which obviously can be loosely translated as english Anne, why is it Alyie in subtitles huh

• Men make = Civilzation - Thriive for mankind (Creature of Creation) made things.t i.e. money, greed, lust, etc.
• Ceaseless creator (1), created = Nature = Original (earth, sky and water) and its creatures like mankind, birds, fish, etc.
o EARTH : 1. Culture 1 Character 1 (sign and feeelings)
o Men made (195 +) Countries ( + culture)
o Humankind = Amazing. Epitome ex: mind, brain, body, can think, can communicate, etc.
Ceaseless Creator (1), creatgion = world (Earth, Water, Sky)
Mankind make = worldly items, facilities, etc.
Ceaseless Creator (1), Created = Equally
Mankind make = Supiriority, Divide
Originally man and female are equal and Man made it separated. People projected it differently and bad
men made = divide example: religion, rich & poor, politics, facilities, etc.
Some people have divided and destroyed the Oneness and beauty in several pieces like countries, religion, Sub-religion, God, Politics, Color, Ethnic,etc.and as rich and poor.
Selflessness - Creator’s gift.
Selfish - men made. Enough of Man made things like shit - tool in closet.
Natural life : the period of a person's earthly existence terminated by natural as opposed to civil death OR the expected span of a person's life or a thing's existence under normal circumstances.
Civilization describes a complex way of life that came about as people began to develop networks of urban settlements.
Life - that is gifted by Ceaseless Creator of Elysium .
World - Body - by earth - with - parent’s participation
Human life (active) = i. Life ii. Body iii. Skin (3 inseparable ingredients) like soil, water and sunrays = 1 unique creation (epitome).
Life is the amalgamation of 2 ingridents of a life. i. the power of body to inhale and relive the breathing sensation. ii. The power of body to carry the breathing sensation. A utmost beautiful creation ’Humankind’
Our precious Gift (life) is the output of 2 pro-found functions. 1. Inner function 2. display (our body)
If there is a problem in inner function, then it it will display in outer portion (disease). So treating outerportion only of No use.
All ‘humnankind’ are with same kind of structure and function. Our body shape is only differet because we all are born from different parents and family. Otherwise all are Equal
True 👍👍👍
I'm just happy to finally have some Belgian representation! ^^ Though, having a wider variety of countries is great.
Yeah! They should add some Eastern and South European countries too
@@FanFictionneer It would be fun to have a Flemish and Walloon (not sure that's the word in English/Flemish) person.
The most accurate translation of Królewna Śnieżka is Crown princess Snowball. Also, the Ż in śnieżka is pronounced as SZ (kinda like the English SH but retroflex) because of the unvoiced K, the Ż gets devoiced, but most Polish people will insist that you pronounce it like Ż when slowly explaining the pronunciation, then they proceed to pronounce it as SZ in fast speech.
They have Ż in English in word "Genre"
@@ziomalisty It's a similar sound, but not the same. My point is that Ż in śnieżka is not pronounced like Ż, but SZ.
@@StrzelbaStian Depends on the speaker and the speed of talk. Sometimes it is Ż.
śnieżka is more like snowball than snowflake ;)

You should include Greek because it is a lot different and it will add to the variety of the concept.
Yeah, greek would be so interesting 😊
And not just Greek. Other Balkan languages as well.
And next, someone will demand romanian, or hungarian ...
@@Eysenbeiss you re right. The oldest spoken language in Europe is just another demand by somebody.
Fr, ngl I was happy to see Poland something new, but in general most basic countries that we all see it’s kind of tiring. I wish more representation for Eastern Europe, Greek, Albanian, Romanian, Bulgarian something else than french, Spanish and German everyone knows how they sound
I was born in Poland (Polish mom, Danish dad), then moved to Sweden when I was 1 and then came to Denmark in '95, so all this Danish and Polish just makes me smile haha.
And as someone else pointed out, the Polish lady's name was wrong on the screen. A little interesting fact, is that all feminine names in Poland end with an A ;)
Yesss finally at least a mention of Czech Replublic in these videos xD Please include some Czechs in your videos! Especially the language guessing ones

What a surprise that English, German, Danish and Flamish sound so similar! It's like they're related or something...!
All got the same base, an old german accent
@@Eysenbeiss English is 30% French and 30% German, we're a hybrid! We, in the UK, know more about the grammatical structures and history of the language compared to Americans as we're taught about it in school
That is because they ARE related to eachother. There was even a time in history in which the norse languages had an influence on the English language, just compare words like "knife" and "egg" to modern Swedish. And the word "tree" could have had similar origins. If you want to find out more, look up Old Saxon, Old Frisian, and Old English languages and also search for Jutts and Vikings.
I could imagine that a word like "spell" is related to German "Spiel" and Dutch "spel", with according verbs like "spielen" and "speelen" respectively, known as "playing" in English. I was intigued by a Norwegian lottery advertising poster in Norway saying "spiller du ikke, winner du ikke." - reminding me of what it would be in German: "Spielst du nicht, gewinnst du nicht." I was kind of mesmerised by the similarity (but not animated to play in the lottery) of the phrasing. English translation: "If you don't play, you don't win." I could see the magic of the moment you would actually win a considerable amount of cash or prize, though - hence the connection between playing and winning...
@@2RANbit
... Seriously? It's kinda ironic that someone who knows the history of languages doesn't understand sarcasm...
I understand you are being sarcastic, but, anywaym it is hardly surprising as they are all Germanic languages. English is a bit of a hybrid though because, although it is mostly Germanic, it has a lot of words with Latin roots that were either borrowed from Old French (when the Normans invaded and ruled England in the Middle Ages) or were added to the language as learned words in the early Modern Age.
This French girl is so beautiful and speaks English with a strong accent. Very awesome
Love these videos hearing the different accents & words from other countries 💜
The beauty of all these ladies is just breathtaking
First time I've heard the Danish language be described as "cute"... will wonder never cease xD
Who ever said that must've had an scrambled head..
I think it was because of our using the word "dyt", so it was the fact that we use the sound to refer to cars that was cute - not the language itself lol
@@sirbattlecat The word "bil" was cute, a.k.a. automobil in Danish.
Danish is cute when Danes speak it.
@@kylevanderwolf4446 Pretty face helps.
I nearly had a heart attack when Czech Republic was mentioned😂❤
The German weekdays actually come from the planets and gods too, they chose the germanic equivalent gods to the roman ones... so it has nothing to do with "free day" 😅
Sunday / Sonntag - Sun
Monday / Montag - Moon
Tuesday / Dienstag - Tyr (Germanic God)
Wednesday / Mittwoch - Wodan/ Odin, but the Christians changed the German one to "Midweek"
Thursday - Donnerstag - Donar / Thor
Friday / Freitag - Freyja (Goddess)
Saturday / Samstag - Saturn for English, For German, it comes from Sabbat.
The roman roots are still apparent in Spanish/Italian/French for the gods:
Tuesday - Mars
Wednesday- Merkur
Thursday- Jupiter
Freitag - Venus
Samstag - Saturn
(Sonntag - domingo/dimanche/domenica = Day of God)
Monday - Lunes/Lunedí/Lundi = Moon)
Friday is named after Frigg, not Freya.
Same with dutch
The German equivalent to Tyr is Tiu or Ziu.
In Slovak: (and this is almost identical to other Slavic languages)
Pondelok - the day after Sunday
Utorok - the second day (of the week) or literally "the other day"
Streda - the middle day (of the week)
Štvrtok - the fourth day (of the week)
Piatok - the fifth day (of the week)
Sobota - Sabbath
Nedeľa - literally "the day when we don't work"
Du bist ein Schatz! Die Behauptung "Freitag" käme von "frei" hat mich ultra gestört und ich hab nur nach so nem Kommentar gesucht.

If you speak French, you should understand a bit of Spanish and, even more so, Italian. French and Italian actually have a very high lexical overlap.

Thursday: Thor (Jupiter).
Friday: Frigg (Venus).

@@thorbjrndalsgaard5199 Tyr/Mars, Thor/Jupiter and Frigg/Venus are pretty straightforward analogies though. (Well you could argue Jupiter being associated with either Odin or Thor, but that's about it.)

Brawo Ania. Greetings from Poland :) 🤍💗
Fun fact about Polish language and "samochód": when the car was invented in Poland, there was a contest on what to call this invention. Among the pool from which the word was selected, there were suggestions "samochód" - "goes by itself" and "samojedź" - "drives by itself". Although cars drive and don't go, "samochód" won, because it turned out that in the old Polish language there is already a word "samojedź" meaning "cannibal" (from "eat by yourself", in Polish "drive" - "jedź" and "eat" - "jedz" are very similar).
Currently "samojedź" is out of use, "cannibal" is "kanibal" and "Samoyed" resembles a dog.
French/Italian/Spanish/Portuguese is the best foursome
Beautiful languages and once you know one, learning the others becomes very easy
And Romanian, that's also a romance language.
@@SuperLn1991 Spanish is annoying though, they speak way to fucking fast, I remember listening to a lot of Spaniards during Euros 2012 in Poland & they really speak like Kalashnikovs and it was pissing me off quite a bit in public transports
Depends, I wouldn’t put French in there, it has similarities but is different enough to be annoying to learn.
@@mysteriousdoge1298 wait fr? I have the feeling that European Spanish is slower than Latin American Spanish. We (Spaniards) sometimes have a hard time understanding some Latin accents because they speak so fast and skip so many letters. But I'm speaking from the point of view of a native Spanish speaker so it's obvious that your opinion differs.
Romanian also since is a Latin/romance language .

English is aslo Germanic and Freya is a Germanic goddess (the gods we now call the nordic gods)
For the French language, when they were saying car, the subtitles got it wrong. It's not 'Auto', it's 'Voiture'
"Voiture" in French is a cognate of "viatura" in Portuguese but "viatura" in Brazil at least is used only to refer to police cars. More generally, it is a formal/technical word to refer to any vehicle that transports people or goods. The ordinary word for a personal vehicle like an English "car" is "carro" in Portuguese.
Another interesting fact is that, although they say "voiture" in France, the most common word for "car" in Quebec French is actually "char".
Such an amazing bunch of people!
i can understand all of these languages, maybe apart from polish lol? as a language nerd:- nicer variety would be nice. if you wanna keep it european, include more slavic or baltic languages. maybe finnish hungarian or turkish. right now danish german flemish are pretty similar and then spanish italian and french too.. makes it less fun and interesting imo
turkish is NO european language, not even near to that.
@@Eysenbeiss Absolutely correct ! Turkish language belongs to the Turkic branch of the Altaic family of languages.
@@Eysenbeiss it’s been around in Europe for a long time. You might as well discount every other language for being derived from PIE
turkish isn't a european language but a asian language
8:39 The German word for free is "frei" and "Tag" is day so an easy conclusion is that it means free day but that's actually not true because it derived from the old germanic/nordic goddess Freya. (langobardic: Frea; southgerman: Freya / Frija; oldgerman: Frigga; Nordic: Frigg)
In the Romans (Roman Empire) 's seven days week Friday "dies Veneris" is the day of the goddess Venus ( Goddess of Love ), when South Germans adapted the roman seven days week they named the day after their similar goddess of love and marriage Frija/Freya (south german) (Edit: She is called "Frigga" in old german and "Frigg" in nordic languages; langobardic: Frea). As English has it's origins in the old germanic language (anglo-saxons) the Fri( j ) in Friday is of the same origin: the goddess Freya/Frija.
yup, just like other days of the week in german and/or english like Diens/Tues (Tyr's), Wednes (Wotan's), Donners/Thurs (Thor's)
Genau, aber es scheint so als ob das Wort "frei" eventuell mit dem Namen Freya verwandt ist, eine alte ungültige Schreibweise für frei ist "frey" und die Wörter sind sich schon ziemlich ähnlich
@@clintwestwood3046 nein wir sagen heutzutage Mittwoch, nicht Wodenstag/Wodanstag, im Englischen sagt man Wednesday was von Wodan/Wotan kommt, aber nicht immer deutschen (Mittwoch=middle of week)
@@Volzotran Ich weiß man... Deswegen habe ich Mittwoch auch nicht erwähnt
Friday is named after Frigg, not Freya.
TIL Netto is a danish company. A lot of Nettos in Germany, too. And AFAIK there are a few german supermarket companies in the US, because the US was bad at the discounter thing and the german chains found it an easy market, see also Wallmart failing miserably in Germany. Both ALDI chains and Lidl are there, AFAIK.
The day thing indeed comes from nordic gods. Wednesday comes from Wodan, the germanic incarnation of Oden, Thursday was mentioned (and the german Donnerstag is the same, Donner means thunder) as was Friday. I think at least one other day name comes also from the Aesir, but I don't remember.
A girl from Denmark says that some Polish words are similar to Danish words. I think it may be due to the fact that in ancient times Slavic pirates, equivalent to the Vikings, plundered Danish lands and maybe some words have remained in the vocabulary to our times
She didn't say that. She said the other ones were more similar, where polish and Danish were more unique. Danish and Polish are definitely not similar languages.
In spanish we can also say "escualo" to say shark, that is more similar to the italian word. That usually happens with romance languages i think. For example, to say dog, we say "perro", italians say "cane", but we can use other word to say dog that is "can" that is more similar.
Yes, although nowadays in spanish "escualo" and "can" (as dog) it's used more in academic literature. As a curiosity "Canary islands" aren't named after the canary bird but after dogs "canes".
@@gattetta Academic literature? What? I see people using it on the media. That's not very academic xDD. It's more usual to use perro and tiburón, but it's not just a thing of the literature.
@Ryou_ 【999haven】 I'm a spaniard from the south and it's not a rare word, how old are you to say that you have NEVER heard it or say it? I'm 33 and i've heard it so many times...
For example, each time they talk about sharks in the media that word is used, to no repeat tiburón, they change and say escualo.
It's also used in common speak in Mexico, my veterinary's clinic is called "can & cat" in play with the English word for "gato". It may appear cánido and felino as academic to a foreigner studying the language but not for a native speaker, as I said "can" is well understood and there's a brand for cat food called "Félix", a given name and a play on felino. Akula is shark in Russian, probably the same root as escualo.
10:27 - Polish language has own words but also has words borrow from france and german or just words that were created during the long-term trade exchange between our countries. I have some examples : PL: Ziemniaki/Kartofle - GR: Kartoffeln(Potatoes); PL: cegła - GR: Ziegel (Brick) ; PL: Dach - GR: Dach (roof); PL: Blacha - GR: Platte (Plate); PL: Ratusz - GR: Rathaus ( City hall ) ; PL: Fotel - FR: fauteuil (armchair) ; PL: Żaluzja - FR: jalousie/Volets (blinds); PL: Portfel - FR: portefeuille (wallet); PL: Makijaż - FR: le maquillage (make up).
ps. If i made some mistake - sorry :D
4:27 there's a mistake in the subtitles, it's "Blanche-Neige" not "Blanc neige"
In Germany, Aldi is not officially a supermarket. Aldi is one of the dicounters like Netto or Lidl. Supermarkets are Edeka or Rewe, Denn's organic market is also part of it.
Aber an sich werden alle diese doch als Supermarkt betrachtet von den normalen Deutschen.
But in and of itself all these are seen as a supermarket by normal Germans.
Nowadays you get so much there! So it has 'deserved' the super. Only thing is, that you can get only one or two brands of something. Which are of good quality and affordable.
Literally "śnieżka" means snowball, but that's cuz it's a little piece of snow. So it's Princess Little Piece of Snow. Rather poetic imo
You mean snowflake
@@xManglert No, it is snowball. Snowflake is "płatek śniegu".
@@PiotrPilinko or "śnieżynka"
Tutaj akurat nie należy tego tłumaczyć na snowball. Raczej chodzi o śnieg. Trzeba zapoznać się z genezą powstania tytułu
Would be interesting to hear the different (alternative) titles of famous movies.
Honestly would love to join these videos because we gotta have some dutch representatives in these videos
Now I realize Thursday comes from the god Thor and in Germany “Donnerstag” means thunder day 😮😂that fits for Thor too…
Here in Russia we call it Sniežnaja Korolewa which is very similar to Polish version.
The word Friday we call Piatnica, that is also close to the Polish one!
The days of the week in Polish and Russian sound very similar, I think any Pole and any Russian would understand without a problem what day of the week it is about if they heard it in either of the two languages. The exception is Sunday, because it sounds completely different in one language and the other.
@@RobinFan2137 are you from Poland?
Снежная королева это snowy Queen, а snowwhite это белоснежка.
... Aldi is also quite big in italy and just like the danish girl said Netto, which is a very common supermarket in germany as well
We have about 2-4 mega branches of Carrefour in Pakistan too. Some local supermarket chains are better price-wise though. I am currently in Germany, I mostly shop at Aldi and Netto. There are two types of Aldi here, Aldi and Aldi-Süd, America has supermarkets owned by Aldi-Süd I think.
Important question, which Aldi do you like more? :)
It is two corporations owned by two brothers of the Albrecht dynasty ("Albrecht Discount"), they share the world markets among each other instead of being their own rivals.
I always liked Italy and its language, currently studying it. But after this episode I like it even more
That is so cute! As an Italian mother tongue thank you!
Grazie
BRAVO!!
The italian, polish and American - my types 😳
Polish *
they finally have a Belgian for the Dutch!!! love it haha
... nevermind, she's from Ghent and can't pronounce the 'r' properly hahaha
@@irissupercoolsy seems more like Limburg to me
Freitag in German comes from Freya too.
Friday is named after Frigg, not Freya.
"Requin' is more common in French, but we can also say "Squale", like "Squalus" in Latin.
Never heard of that and i'm French lol
Escualo is a posh way to say tiburón is spanish too.
@@charles1413 Same xd
@@SuperLn1991 QI à deux chiffres club lol
@@charles1413 Rho mais sérieusement...
Athalane looks like a goddess.
i felt it when Ania said Snow White instean of Królewna Śnieżka, I also sometimes forget Polish lmao
This is the first time I've ever heard someone say that Danish can be cute lol. Thanks!
Tbh Polish seems super random but we spell letters pretty much how sounds works and we have pretty much have the simpliest way of putting things into Phonetics to the point we don't even learn about the phonetics symbols unless it's for other languages like english
True! Our language is probably the most consistent when it comes to reading&writing words… Even with mistakes it will be understandable because you literally write it exactly as it sounds.
As a child I couldn’t understand the idea of “spelling contest” in English/American movies xD it was just so absurd…
Then I had to learn English and I understood why… Because you are never sure how certain word should be written correctly…
“Island”? Just ignore “s” because why not!
“C”? Sometimes use it as “C” and sometimes as “K”.
“Queue”? Just say “qu” and ignore all the rest!
So annoying - but French is likely even worse.
There was a polyglot conference in Poland. Polyglots are people, who speak many languages and pick up languages more easy then others. Some are fluent in over 20 languages from all over the world! AMAZING.
They mostly agreed upon Polish being the hardest language to learn of them all.
Your comment makes it more doable, I guess.
5:54 the french girl actually says "Voiture", not auto
In Yorkshire (Northern England) you would say "Ey Up" which is of old East Norse origin, Swedish "Sey upp" but it actually means "Look up" in both, but people in Yorkshire think it means "hello"
Loved this video. I studied French in a Swiss boarding school in the 60's ( they imported French teachers, believe it or not)
Please have more of the Scandinavian languages I love them and I am from Denmark so it's both funny and cool hearing people try to pronounce Danish words and also give their opinion
I love you'er videos and would love to see more
Also there was three words that were not written correctly: Fotex =Føtex Sondag = Søndag and Dyt = tut
Har aldrig hørt nogen sige Dyt før😆 Det må være en jysk ting
det er det sikkert
I live in Sweden for more than two years. And i cannot clearly distinct a danish or norwegian speaker from Swedish. Those are not languages, just dialects of the same language.
Poland! 😻
Hi from France! I learned some other european words too haha, tut is cute
Yes, in Danish we do say "bil" in our everyday language when we talk about a car, but it is the lazy version of "automobil" (which nobody calls it) so if the Dane had said that instead, the others calling it "auto" would have most likely understood, and it also very closely resembles the English word of an auto mobile.
True
We have a whole bunch of supermarkets in Germany, which have also expanded into other countries. Aldi and Lidl are both doing well in the US too, but the more popular ones are probably ReWe and Netto discounter (which is also german, bavarian to be more precise but is now owned by Tengelmann, like Edeka too, as a daughter company - it is a different one than the danish Netto, which is also a german chain store owned by a danish big company, there aren't as many as the other Netto here though). We also have Edeka, which is a bit more expensive and a bit more stylish, for those who feel bad to buy the cheapest stuff possible.
We also have Galeria Kaufhof (which now also owns Karstadt after they went bankrupt) that also includes a supermarket somewhere, also a bit more expensive.
Then we also have Real, Tegut, Marktkauf, Penny, Nahkauf, Kaufland. Yeah, that's a lot. They have also different target groups (like 2-4 have the same one). Well, we like to have a choice or the illusion of it, but we also like the security of knowing: Even if 5 or 6 of those would have to close their doors tomorrow forever, there's at least as many left where we can go. And those left would probably by off the ones that have to close anyway.
