I am from India and I visited Budapest, Hungary last year with my wife and I loved each and every second that I spent there, the people, the food, the atmosphere, the culture is absolutely incredible and heartwarming. Trust me when I say this, the kind of hospitality and warmth that I felt when I interacted with the people there is something that left me feeling mesmerised. Sending my Hungarian brothers and sisters loads of love from India 🇮🇳❤️🇭🇺
Really? I was two times in Hungary and it was both times an absolute nightmare. First time was with our school class, second time was a family vacation. I don't know if Hungarians have a general problem with Germans, but as soon as people heard our language they became extremely unfriendly. Even waiters and hotel employees. In front of the hotel an old alcoholic gipsy offered us his two daughters. We were 15-16 at that time and his daughters were around 45 and had both seen better days! When he was completely drunk, we could see from the hotel window how his two daughters beat him up and kicked him. It was hillarious and sad at the same time. On the last day of the class trip we had a fight with half the class against the hotel employees because a waiter kicked our female teacher in the stomach. But the police blamed us and we had to pay a fee in order to get our stuff back. And on the family vacation, pickpockets stole my mother's wallet, in Budapest I got a food poisoning in a restaurant and had the worst cramps of my life, there were scammers everywhere and a waitress spilled a drink on me. After that, that was it for me with Hungary. I would rather do a backflip into an active volcano than set foot in this country again. WORST COUNTRY EVER! Half the population are criminals, the other half are fascists.
As a fellow hungarian i got so happy when she said madártej, it's one of my favorite foods too also thank you for including our country in the video! 💙

Well it's because in hungarian there are a lot of words from other languages mixed into the base language. You can find words originated from slavic countries, Germany, French, Turkey etc. So it makes a uniqe and confusing language, which sounds alien and familiar at the same time. :D
That's just because Koreans and Asians in general are very small. European body height is above that in average. I came to know someone who's originally from Asia and now lives in Germany, she had to look in the children's area when buying clothes because adult clothes here would have been too big for her.
Finally a Hungarian. Wow ! I think it's amazing the way the staff of World Friends try to find a lot of foreigners in South Korea.

Tongue twister? She said the numbers from 1-10 and the family members: father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt and cousins. No tongue twisters. Or did you think the family members were a tongue twister? Most of them had the vowel "a": apa, anya, nagypapa, nagymama.

I think that Hungarian is so enigmatic though, it's like alien language for me (in a good way)
Your thought process is actually very accurate! When you hear a language where you can't decide whether it's eastern European or Scandinavian it's definitely Finnish! And Hungarian and Finnish are so similar, people are indeed led to believe they have the same origins!
I'm Finnish and love the way that Hungarian sounds. It's a beautiful country to visit too. Estonian is the closest language to Finnish if you don't count the lesser Finnish dialects as languages.
As a Hungarian I'm soooo happy that you guys included Hungary! I don't often see people who include the Hungarian language in these types of videos so I'm happy that you guys did!
Because ppl are afraid of your unique language 😂 I lived in Hungary for a year and I only reached a2 lvl, it was so hard and annoying I remember I almost cried while having a lesson lol, your grammar is insanely hard.
Belgium 🇧🇪 was the hardest for me , 'cause it's spoken French , but also Dutch, like the Netherlands , and sometimes sounds German , and Seong-ji was right about how it sounds like a mix of French and German
Hi! Im from Belgium and I agree. In school we need to learn french, dutch and english. We are basicly speaking the same in the Netherlands but have our own accents.
Not spoken, but written it is recognizable because it is so unique. When she spoke I had no idea, but when Madartej appeared I would have guessed Hungarian. I would ask her to say the country name in her language. Then when I hear Magyar..., I got it 🙂
That was rather easy. The first word already said it all and the counting is also very distinct. In case of Polish it was immediately clear that it is Slavic and during counting there was the very specific nasal sound which no other Slavic language has. When she started to speed up it became also rather distinct, so she tried her best to help, but Polish is due to its complexity not so often learned and therefore not well known. But as a Korean the guessing lady did extremely well. Even to claim Dutch to be close to German and French is not that wrong.
@@Argentvs Actually these are European languagues originating from Ural. They are distinct, but as European as they could be. Hungarian also took up some vocabulary from the neighbours and vice versa: Czech ulice, Hungarian utca for example. All these languages are very beautiful in a specific way.
@@florianmeier3186 Uralic is not Indo-European. Both are unrelated families of language that have no connection at all. Indoeuropean is a family of languages that diverged in different stages from proto Indo European, a language spoken around the tribes that inhabited the east coast of the Black sea and Iran, first to domesticate the horse and moved in waves west replacing the natives of Europe.
Yeah right, send in the Hungarian for ultimate confusion, haha! Nobody can ever guess that language from hearing it. No wonder it´s called the Alien wtf language. As a hungarian people always tried to find out what language I was speaking upon hearing it. These were their guesses throughout the years: Norwegian, Irish, Icelandic, Turkish, Iranian, Russian, Swedish, Finnish, Albanian, Greek, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Slovakian, Checz, Portugese, Polish, Latvian, Romanian, Georgian, Lithuanian, Danish, Slovenian, Croatian, Estonian, Armenian, Flemish, some kind of German dialect, etc. But most of the time people think I´m from the Netherlands. I don´t know why. These are the ones I can remember ;)
I'm from Sweden so I knew that it wasn't a Germanic or Romance language. It didn't sound Slavic so Eastern Europe, somewhere in the middle (not Greek or former Yugoslavia).
I would think the name would be most common for an American or Canadian since it’s the name of a US state on the northern border. However, I did a search for famous people named Montana and there were some Brits and Australians. Montana is actually from the Spanish word montaña but English doesn’t have the ñ. Montana Cox is an Australian model, best known for being the winner of cycle 7 of Australia's Next Top Model.
@@emotionalIntelligence2078 Georgia? Georgia isn’t that common in the USA. Virginia is obviously the most common given name that is also the name of a state. I know more Dakotas that Georgias. 😂

I'm from Hungary too, so I'm really happy and grateful that they included my country, too. I mean, 95% of these kind of videos from other channels, we're almost always left out for some reason. So, thanks again! 😊🇭🇺💕
It was really clever by Hanna at the part where she had to sing the anthem she on purpose didnt include part when there is word "Polska" (Poland) included to not give hints!
Watching this movies im impressed how little people (especially european) know about slavic countries. Poland+Ukraine+Czech+Slovakia = about 100 mln native slavic speakers, and thats only 4 countries! And you have them much more. It would be great if you include more of them in videos.
Slavic countries are: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Northern Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and several smaller ones. So there are quite a few
The polish sounded Russian so much to me. Only certain words and the fact her numbers were not raz dwa that made me go for Polish. When spoken fast to outsiders most slavics sounds Russian. Only clear words that are distinctive flags it is not, specially some letter sounds like Cz.
@@gosiasz3964 of course. Is like me saying Portuguese doesn't sounds like Spanish. Because we both speak the lenguaje. But the farther the harder it gets. Italian, Spanish, Portuguese sounds the same if you don't have exposure. Same dutch,Czech, German, Danish. Or Malaysian, Indonesian, Cambodian. Same happens with slavics, the way you pronounce long words full of consonants with very small detail but clearly differentiating them is common. Put Russian and Polish talk fast and sounds the same, worse with Belarusian and Ukrainian, they outright are Russian dialects, not much different than Iberian Spanish from Argentine or Colombian Spanish.
I surprisingly got polish from the first sentences she pronounced. I don't know if it's the contact with polish language I got from my youth (lots of polish people in my tiny french village). I could eventually recognise russian polish and Slovakian. I would struggle more to differentiate Croatian and Slovenian. For me the Latin language speaker it's not problem differentiating french Spanish catalan Italian Romanian Portuguese galician.... Same for Dutch/German/Luxembourgish/... But I have to admit that Nordic and Slavic languages would make the game more tricky for me and I would really appreciate the idea of the fully Slavic video
I know that two languages have nothing in common, but Hungarian and Portuguese are really similar to me - I always have problems with guessing which one someone is talking, unless there is a lot of spanish-sounding words in the mix XD
A have literally never heard a Korean person speaking English so perfectly, it is unbelievable, like a native speaker of (American) English. Fantastic and congratulations 🙂
she's probably been living in america for many years and probably has family there too, you don't get that accent for nothing. maybe she's even half american or something like that
I like that how many hungarians (so am I) and non-hungarians speak about how hard the korean girl was fighting with hungarian language! I also think that it was cool!
that polish girl is so tall and also so nice... it's so uncommon to see tall women in general (I am Brazilian), and when I see one that acts like someone I would like to be friends with it feels like a nice surprise ^^
As an Italian, I guessed she would say that the Italian girl is from Spain because in this type of videos many foreigners generally guess Spanish instead of Italian and I was right 😅 I guessed all the nationalities expect the American girl (I guessed Ireland) and the girl from Belgium (I guessed the Netherlands)
The Hungarian language (my mother tongue) is always chosen in such selections, because we are the largest exotic language that is close to the West. (Thank you very much for the honorary title, we are really exotic and difficult.) But! There are even more exotic languages in Europe that are insanely difficult to identify even for a European. (All of these is official least one european country.) Let's see: - Lithuanian (3 million speakers) and Latvian (1.7 million speakers). These languages are only very distantly related to Indo-European, and have a special sounds. - Maltese (0.5 million speakers) a language of Arabic/Berber origin, strongly influenced by Italian. Those who haven't heard it yet don't know where to put it. - Albanian (13 million speakers) is an unrelated language, which will be the common national language of Switzerland. At first glance is like a Hungarian text spoken backwards. - Welsh (0.6 million) He has a British passport, but you don't understand what he's talking about? Now that's it! - Gagauz (0,2 million) Christian turks living in Moldavia. Exotic? Not so much as their language. (And yes, thely have an own country!) - Basque (0.7 million native speakers) - an unrelated language, its grammar and words are truly exotic. (Probably they are the lost survivors of Atlantis.)
Scottish, Irish (northern), Manx and Cornish speakers also have British passports. So do a lot of the immigrants in London who speak Pakistani, Indian and African languages but are legally British citizens
Lithuanian and Latvian are of course Indo-European languages, but they have their own grouping, believed to be rather closely related to the Slavic. (Although it's possible it's mostly due to cultural interaction between two Indo-European language groups...)
@@hakanstorsater5090 "believed to be rather closely related to the Slavic" Actually,slavic is just a branch of Balto-slavic like as the baltic (latvian and lithuanian) also a branch of that.
To be honest, after watching a few of your other video's with guessing Asian countries, I'd be quite happy with myself to pick out two out of six random Asian countries :s So well done! I'd struggle with picking out Hungary as well, by the way.
As an American whos half Hungarian (Father was from Hungary) I enjoyed this alot. I don't know much of anything of Hungary but everything I learn I love.
French is so easily recognizable. Not only because it is a very famous language worldwide, but it is very very unique. You immediately know in 2 seconds.
Im happy I got Poland right! Theres so many slavic languages, to me its very hard to tell apart. Tbh for the hungarian girl I thought she was speaking in hebrew lol, even though Ive been to hungary before. And for belgium I thought sweden aaah. Italy was obvious but the american tricked me.
Swede here. Most people of recent African heritage in Sweden are from Somalia, or more rarely, other countries in the horn of africa. Either way, they look decidedly NOT like the Flemish-speaking woman.
@@wiktorwantola3551 Might be so for those who speak a Slavic language natively, but not for me, and I guess that goes for lots of people whose native language is Germanic.
@@petergustafsson1670but you can at least distinguish polish language from russian or ukrainian by writing, because we use latin alphabet and they are using "cyrylica". :)
@@NightCloudI Well, that does not help me much when I hear people speaking. And yes, I have no problem distinguishing between Latin, Cyrillic, and several other scripts.
@@lukespooky Aside from some stray words Her intonation and pronunciation is as American as it gets. it's like 90%+ pure American accent, and I say this as an American who grew up there.
🤣🤣🤣 German is my mothertounge and when she started speaking, I thought "omg, don't tell her so much right away!!" And then i realized that she cannot understand it haha. Sry I got a fever atm. Thanks for the video!
from a hungarian who speaks english it was very interesting for me to hear 2 people speak different languages at the same time it confused my brain. Great video!
The lady doing the guessing got hardly any right but it did not matter a bit because she did it in such a sweet ,beautiful , charming way, I loved every second of it . I am English but I did not get the American one , that was a trick in my opinion.
Very interesting how she picked up the German and French elements of Flemish! I mean, Flemish is basically Dutch (the bastard son of German) with some French influence - mainly in the enunciation - because Belgium is bilingual (Flemish and French).
Becous she bearly speaks flemish she speaks standard dutch just with a antwerp acent real flemish defnly not most flemish ppl speak tussentaal inbetween language if it was actual antwerps or any other flemish dialect no one would understand
It was soooo funny to hear Hungarian. My brain got totally confused when i heard it. It was just weird but i really like it. (My native language is Hungarian.)
Actually, as a Hungarian it's so interesting to me that she thought the Hungarian girl was either from Denmark or Argentina, knowing that Korean and Hungarian language may be distantly related, coming from the same root at one point. I know of the theory that says Korean has no linguistic-relation to any other language but if it does, Hungarian is certainly one of the relatives. The similarity between "apa" and "아빠" could be only coincidence, being aware of how certain words in the world are similar in sounding-as well as in meaning-thanks to their easy pronunciation for toddlers. However, it's fun to play with the thought of being related. Maybe not genetically, not anymore; but linguistically and culturally there's a great chance.
Hungarian belongs to the Finno-Ugric language family, assigned to the Ugric branch along with the Mansi and Khanty languages of western Siberia. I am not sure about the Korean language though!
@@boglarkabalazs7129 Yes, I know. Uralic is believed to be a subdivision of Altaic languages. Finno-Ugric is a branch of Uralic languages. Out of the 3 theories regarding the origins of the Korean language 2 assumes some kind of relation to the Altaic languages. At least that's what I've been told. This leads to the conclusion that (even if it's basically insignificant) Korean and Hungarian may or may not have some kind of distant relation.
@@starmy.h.87 wow, that's mindblowing! There is a theory that there was a universal language at the dawn of humanity, but then it developed into different branches. So, who knows?
Maybe because I'm native to Europe and European culture I feel like even with little I can guess them. It was so easy. Especially growing up with Eurovision 😂 I can sing in 10+ European languages.
Ofc it's all about exposure. Roman, Germanic and Slavic languages are easily recognisable for Europeans cause we grow up with it and we have a lot of cross country movement inside the EU.
Hungarian words in the Asia video? Can you tell me which one was that video? But i guess those "hungarian words" was actually turkish loan words even in those languages too.
The tricky part on the last one is that somebody from Belgium could speak one of three languages, potentially. It would be like trying to guess somebody from Switzerland based on the language they spoke. In this case, the woman is speaking Flemish, which is essentially Dutch. But if she had been from Wallonia, it would have been French.
@@GloRia-yp2tj They also speak different. I was once mixed up with someone from Belgium, because I did a mistake with French numbers which would be probably correct if you are speaking French in Belgium which was not my intension.
@@florianmeier3186 We do speak differently but that’s vocabulary but not necessarily accent. People wouldn’t be able to tell us apart until we somehow have to say 70 or 90.
@@GloRia-yp2tj Yes, it was 70 in my case ;). The Belge solution seems to be more logical for a German who does not remember the French numbers correctly and starts guessing... The arabic trader trying to sell me something got completely confused and I learned something new as well...
I don't know why but as a german i understood a few parts of the belgium. especially the first sentences sounded a bit more like german so i thought she was from switzerland at first. I also immediately recognized french and polish.
5:23 - if I can add something, "pierogies" form has no sense to me (it is like double plural (?) form in here, which is strange) :D I mean, people probably add "es" at the end of the word because they want to make a plural form of it. BUT. It already was in plural form - "pierogi". If we wanna say that we have just one, then we will say "pieróg". I hope it makes sense. Love the video, it was fun 😗

But as a Korean the guessing lady did extremely well. Even to claim Dutch to be close to German and French is not that wrong.
@@Argentvs Actually these are European languagues originating from Ural. They are distinct, but as European as they could be. Hungarian also took up some vocabulary from the neighbours and vice versa: Czech ulice, Hungarian utca for example. All these languages are very beautiful in a specific way.
@@florianmeier3186 Uralic is not Indo-European. Both are unrelated families of language that have no connection at all. Indoeuropean is a family of languages that diverged in different stages from proto Indo European, a language spoken around the tribes that inhabited the east coast of the Black sea and Iran, first to domesticate the horse and moved in waves west replacing the natives of Europe.
Omg thank you for including Poland. I love the girl reaction when she found out about Hanna’s nationality :)
"She sounds German... she sounds French now" is the best description of Dutch I've ever heard
ikrrrrrrrrrrr
@ChudDin88 I have no clue what your talking about
YES FLEMISH 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪 OUR LANGUAGE IS UNIQUE
As a German I thought she sounds German. Some parts sound like lower German some parts sound like standard German, some parts sound like swiss German.
I could actually understand what she says as a German from Bavaria. 😅 It sounds more like German than Dutch does which is really interesting.
Great video guys. Seong-Ji is so cute and beautiful! 😍 I like her humor.
It's a pleasure to see Seong-Ji on this channel again 😍
Yeah right, send in the Hungarian for ultimate confusion, haha! Nobody can ever guess that language from hearing it. No wonder it´s called the Alien wtf language.
As a hungarian people always tried to find out what language I was speaking upon hearing it. These were their guesses throughout the years: Norwegian, Irish, Icelandic, Turkish, Iranian, Russian, Swedish, Finnish, Albanian, Greek, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Slovakian, Checz, Portugese, Polish, Latvian, Romanian, Georgian, Lithuanian, Danish, Slovenian, Croatian, Estonian, Armenian, Flemish, some kind of German dialect, etc. But most of the time people think I´m from the Netherlands. I don´t know why. These are the ones I can remember ;)
I'm from Sweden so I knew that it wasn't a Germanic or Romance language. It didn't sound Slavic so Eastern Europe, somewhere in the middle (not Greek or former Yugoslavia).
I am Polish, I can recognise language of my brothers
I guessed hebrew lmao
Most people have just never heard it spoken, but when you have it's very distinct and hard to confuse with other European languages.
haha I guessed it but only by her name, Sabia was just so hungarian :)
Im Hungarian. And when she said madártej i just died of laughing. Thank u very much for this
This was so fun!! I loved the reactions and all the friendliness here. Just wonderful!!
OMG yesss thanks so much for including Hungary!!🙏🏼💜🇭🇺
I lost it when the US-American came on and said her name is Montana :D Like, who else would call their kids Montana 😂
Same 😂 but mostly only Americans would know 😝
I would think the name would be most common for an American or Canadian since it’s the name of a US state on the northern border. However, I did a search for famous people named Montana and there were some Brits and Australians. Montana is actually from the Spanish word montaña but English doesn’t have the ñ.
Montana Cox is an Australian model, best known for being the winner of cycle 7 of Australia's Next Top Model.
Hannah Montaaana!!!!
Georgia is also quite common. 😂
@@emotionalIntelligence2078 Georgia? Georgia isn’t that common in the USA. Virginia is obviously the most common given name that is also the name of a state. I know more Dakotas that Georgias. 😂
Nagyon örülök, hogy magyar nyelvű rész is volt a videóban :)
I love the way she was kind and joyful about girl from Poland 🥰 Like twin-like countries from different mothers (continents)
She looks like a Russian girl I knew.
Örülök hogy bekerült a magyar nyelv is.Annak is hogy a csaj nagyon meglepődött.Izolált nyelvünk van,csak mi értjük.Remélem ez így is fog maradni örökké.Mások számára legyen ez egy feltörhetetlen kód.Hadd izzadjanak vele.
It was so fun seeing someone speak Hungarian haha
As a Thuringian German, the answer „Thüringer Klöße“ from the German girl is definitely a big w, such an underrated dish from Germany
Die mag ich sehr
Bei uns in Brandenburg/Berlin heißen die Thüringer Klopse
In Österreich nennen wir das Knödel. Definitiv ein W.
yummy
@@PPfilmemacher Bei uns heißen die Klöße. Klopse kenn ich nur aus Fleisch (Königsberger Klopse)
I loved her energy when she found out where the Polish girl was from😅
It’s very funny. I’m from Hungary. I never thought I sound like someone from Argentina.😅
Well she also said Denmark, english and korean... :D
I don't think she knows argentinians speak spanish
no worries you absolutely dont sound like youre from argentina
@@criff85 I’m not the girl in the video. I just wrote it as I am hungarian.
@@hajnamcgrath8056 haha I know. I meant it in a general way.
I'm from Hungary too, so I'm really happy and grateful that they included my country, too. I mean, 95% of these kind of videos from other channels, we're almost always left out for some reason.
So, thanks again! 😊🇭🇺💕
Hungary was the only language I couldn't guess (well I thought the Polish might have been Russian too)
The girl from Hungary is so prettyy !
It was really clever by Hanna at the part where she had to sing the anthem she on purpose didnt include part when there is word "Polska" (Poland) included to not give hints!
I tak źle zaśpiewała hymn więc trochę wstyd
@@LenroczekxdPrawda, wstyd. Kobieta wygląda na 20 lat i hymnu nie umie.
Watching this movies im impressed how little people (especially european) know about slavic countries. Poland+Ukraine+Czech+Slovakia = about 100 mln native slavic speakers, and thats only 4 countries! And you have them much more. It would be great if you include more of them in videos.
Slavic countries are:
Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Northern Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and several smaller ones.
So there are quite a few
The polish sounded Russian so much to me. Only certain words and the fact her numbers were not raz dwa that made me go for Polish. When spoken fast to outsiders most slavics sounds Russian. Only clear words that are distinctive flags it is not, specially some letter sounds like Cz.
@@Argentvs Im sure its sounds familiar, but im polish and i dont understand russian :)
@@gosiasz3964 of course. Is like me saying Portuguese doesn't sounds like Spanish. Because we both speak the lenguaje. But the farther the harder it gets. Italian, Spanish, Portuguese sounds the same if you don't have exposure. Same dutch,Czech, German, Danish. Or Malaysian, Indonesian, Cambodian. Same happens with slavics, the way you pronounce long words full of consonants with very small detail but clearly differentiating them is common. Put Russian and Polish talk fast and sounds the same, worse with Belarusian and Ukrainian, they outright are Russian dialects, not much different than Iberian Spanish from Argentine or Colombian Spanish.
I surprisingly got polish from the first sentences she pronounced. I don't know if it's the contact with polish language I got from my youth (lots of polish people in my tiny french village). I could eventually recognise russian polish and Slovakian. I would struggle more to differentiate Croatian and Slovenian. For me the Latin language speaker it's not problem differentiating french Spanish catalan Italian Romanian Portuguese galician.... Same for Dutch/German/Luxembourgish/... But I have to admit that Nordic and Slavic languages would make the game more tricky for me and I would really appreciate the idea of the fully Slavic video
people being surprised with hungarian is soooo funny AHAHAHAHA thank you for bringing in Hungary too! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I am Dutch 🇳🇱 and it was nice to hear my language spoken by a Flemish Girl.
I know that two languages have nothing in common, but Hungarian and Portuguese are really similar to me - I always have problems with guessing which one someone is talking, unless there is a lot of spanish-sounding words in the mix XD
I love pierogi… and Seungji is adorable.
A have literally never heard a Korean person speaking English so perfectly, it is unbelievable, like a native speaker of (American) English. Fantastic and congratulations 🙂
she's probably been living in america for many years and probably has family there too, you don't get that accent for nothing. maybe she's even half american or something like that
I'm pretty sure she grew up in both Canada and Korea. I think she mentioned that in another video
You must not get out much, plenty Koreans speak perfect English.
@@samiyahparen8407true especially in big cities like sydney LA London there are tons
I love how perfect Polish accent Seung Ji said "pierogi", really! Sounds like a Polish woman, Love it❤
I like that how many hungarians (so am I) and non-hungarians speak about how hard the korean girl was fighting with hungarian language! I also think that it was cool!
that polish girl is so tall and also so nice... it's so uncommon to see tall women in general (I am Brazilian), and when I see one that acts like someone I would like to be friends with it feels like a nice surprise ^^
As an Italian, I guessed she would say that the Italian girl is from Spain because in this type of videos many foreigners generally guess Spanish instead of Italian and I was right 😅 I guessed all the nationalities expect the American girl (I guessed Ireland) and the girl from Belgium (I guessed the Netherlands)
When you live in Paris...some people greet you by saying "Hola" with a smile, and you even feel bad and wonder whether to tell them or not😂
@@xuanve8639 😅😅😅
@@hlgi9948 Thank you ❤
Spanish and Italian are similar if you never heard them. I had spanish in school so the italian was easy
😅😅😅
9:52 “Where did you find these people!?”😂😂😂
The Hungary and Belgium ones are so hard I had no idea. I got the Italian, Poland, Germany right. The US one threw me off
Of course they had to put an african girl for belgium. For those who dont know, this is NOT how a belgian person looks like!
@gerrylanter8109 You will never be white.
I love Seong-Ji so much! She is so sweet and funny! I laugh so much when I watch her in these videos.
The Hungarian language (my mother tongue) is always chosen in such selections, because we are the largest exotic language that is close to the West. (Thank you very much for the honorary title, we are really exotic and difficult.)
But! There are even more exotic languages in Europe that are insanely difficult to identify even for a European. (All of these is official least one european country.) Let's see:
- Lithuanian (3 million speakers) and Latvian (1.7 million speakers). These languages are only very distantly related to Indo-European, and have a special sounds.
- Maltese (0.5 million speakers) a language of Arabic/Berber origin, strongly influenced by Italian. Those who haven't heard it yet don't know where to put it.
- Albanian (13 million speakers) is an unrelated language, which will be the common national language of Switzerland. At first glance is like a Hungarian text spoken backwards.
- Welsh (0.6 million) He has a British passport, but you don't understand what he's talking about? Now that's it!
- Gagauz (0,2 million) Christian turks living in Moldavia. Exotic? Not so much as their language. (And yes, thely have an own country!)
- Basque (0.7 million native speakers) - an unrelated language, its grammar and words are truly exotic. (Probably they are the lost survivors of Atlantis.)
Scottish, Irish (northern), Manx and Cornish speakers also have British passports. So do a lot of the immigrants in London who speak Pakistani, Indian and African languages but are legally British citizens
Lithuanian and Latvian are of course Indo-European languages, but they have their own grouping, believed to be rather closely related to the Slavic. (Although it's possible it's mostly due to cultural interaction between two Indo-European language groups...)
@@hakanstorsater5090 "believed to be rather closely related to the Slavic" Actually,slavic is just a branch of Balto-slavic like as the baltic (latvian and lithuanian) also a branch of that.
She had great reactions and seems to a have a very good personality for on camera.
YESSSS, madártej is soo delicius!!!😁😋😋🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
wow! never had someone include hungary in these types of vieos!! im really happy.
To be honest, after watching a few of your other video's with guessing Asian countries, I'd be quite happy with myself to pick out two out of six random Asian countries :s
So well done! I'd struggle with picking out Hungary as well, by the way.
As an American whos half Hungarian (Father was from Hungary) I enjoyed this alot. I don't know much of anything of Hungary but everything I learn I love.
finally Hungarian is included too, I'm soo happy
finally TvT
I love her dramatic falls 😆😂
YE,in my opinion she should play in new "Willow".She will be better actress for sure xD
Meravigliosa 😆
Yes ,she ended on the floor a few times, she was so disappointed with her answers.
French is so easily recognizable. Not only because it is a very famous language worldwide, but it is very very unique. You immediately know in 2 seconds.
Lucie is very talented in singing the French anthem 🇫🇷! Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦
😘
Im happy I got Poland right! Theres so many slavic languages, to me its very hard to tell apart. Tbh for the hungarian girl I thought she was speaking in hebrew lol, even though Ive been to hungary before. And for belgium I thought sweden aaah. Italy was obvious but the american tricked me.
Swede here. Most people of recent African heritage in Sweden are from Somalia, or more rarely, other countries in the horn of africa. Either way, they look decidedly NOT like the Flemish-speaking woman.
Polish is a very specific Slavic language.
@@wiktorwantola3551 Might be so for those who speak a Slavic language natively, but not for me, and I guess that goes for lots of people whose native language is Germanic.
@@petergustafsson1670but you can at least distinguish polish language from russian or ukrainian by writing, because we use latin alphabet and they are using "cyrylica". :)
@@NightCloudI Well, that does not help me much when I hear people speaking. And yes, I have no problem distinguishing between Latin, Cyrillic, and several other scripts.
You did great: I'm european, and I wouldn't be able to distinguish many asian languages
If I really tried i could maybe guess Japanese, Chinese and Korean and Arabic probably, but others? No chance tbh.
Seong-Ji is so sweet! A perfect representation for South Korea 🇰🇷 with perfect English!
not really perfect
@@lukespooky why
She is realy cute.
Come to korea then take her to your country
@@lukespooky Aside from some stray words Her intonation and pronunciation is as American as it gets. it's like 90%+ pure American accent, and I say this as an American who grew up there.
I love Seaung-Ji's outfit and her manners 💕
🤣🤣🤣 German is my mothertounge and when she started speaking, I thought "omg, don't tell her so much right away!!" And then i realized that she cannot understand it haha. Sry I got a fever atm. Thanks for the video!
I'm from Poland too and anyone know us, so it's really nice to see some video with Poland!!! ☺️
Seong-ji's English is so good and her accent is so typically American she could 100% pass as being American herself.
+ the blissfulness of thinking Argentinian speak Argentinian. Yup.
@@lalainaramarivelo she didn't even know they speak spanish in argentina 😂
I always thought the same thing, too. If I didn't know she was from South Korea, I'd 100% believe she was American.
Imádom hogy mennyire sokrétű nyelvek vannak a világban, de nincs mit tenni, mi magyarok mindenhol ott vagyunk ♥
from a hungarian who speaks english it was very interesting for me to hear 2 people speak different languages at the same time it confused my brain. Great video!
She even laughs in Hungarian!!!😂❤️
Again to me Italy was so obvious, but it seems like it's not for others. However, I had problems with the last few, too.
The lady doing the guessing got hardly any right but it did not matter a bit because she did it in such a sweet ,beautiful , charming way, I loved every second of it . I am English but I did not get the American one , that was a trick in my opinion.
Very interesting how she picked up the German and French elements of Flemish! I mean, Flemish is basically Dutch (the bastard son of German) with some French influence - mainly in the enunciation - because Belgium is bilingual (Flemish and French).
Wow as a dutch learner i never thought flemish was that close, i understood 90% of what Naya said
As a german I also understood 90%
Becous she bearly speaks flemish she speaks standard dutch just with a antwerp acent real flemish defnly not most flemish ppl speak tussentaal inbetween language if it was actual antwerps or any other flemish dialect no one would understand
Argentina was the most random guess ever! Hungarian language doesn't sound like Spanish at all.
Seong Ji is so funny and nice. Definitely one of my favs here. She so smart and cute too.
hahhhaha that's funny. most of her answers are wrong
Definitely not so smart. She speaks like a typical simple-minded American girl even though she is Korean.
@@Mustanaamio7 oh boy, so much trash talk behind a PC.
Poland and hungary! beautiful languages.
It was soooo funny to hear Hungarian. My brain got totally confused when i heard it. It was just weird but i really like it.
(My native language is Hungarian.)
Yes!
The Polish translator was awesome 😂😂 fantastic interactions
Actually, as a Hungarian it's so interesting to me that she thought the Hungarian girl was either from Denmark or Argentina, knowing that Korean and Hungarian language may be distantly related, coming from the same root at one point. I know of the theory that says Korean has no linguistic-relation to any other language but if it does, Hungarian is certainly one of the relatives. The similarity between "apa" and "아빠" could be only coincidence, being aware of how certain words in the world are similar in sounding-as well as in meaning-thanks to their easy pronunciation for toddlers. However, it's fun to play with the thought of being related. Maybe not genetically, not anymore; but linguistically and culturally there's a great chance.
Turania no le dicen a esa cultura?
Hungarian belongs to the Finno-Ugric language family, assigned to the Ugric branch along with the Mansi and Khanty languages of western Siberia. I am not sure about the Korean language though!
@@boglarkabalazs7129 Yes, I know. Uralic is believed to be a subdivision of Altaic languages. Finno-Ugric is a branch of Uralic languages. Out of the 3 theories regarding the origins of the Korean language 2 assumes some kind of relation to the Altaic languages. At least that's what I've been told. This leads to the conclusion that (even if it's basically insignificant) Korean and Hungarian may or may not have some kind of distant relation.
@@starmy.h.87 wow, that's mindblowing! There is a theory that there was a universal language at the dawn of humanity, but then it developed into different branches. So, who knows?
@@boglarkabalazs7129 Yes, it's crazy😃
omg hearing hungarian in a video like this is soo strange but I like it
I got hungarian right just because I know "Szia" but I can see how hard it would be If I actually didnt knew that word
Which is funny because it's just 'see ya' written phonetically.
UNE AUTRE PERSONNE AIME LE FOOT !!!! Je t’adore 😻😻😻
I'm from Hungary too so I'm so happy because finally there is someone whom know that there is HUNGARY. So thank you for inviting a Hungarian people
Maybe because I'm native to Europe and European culture I feel like even with little I can guess them. It was so easy. Especially growing up with Eurovision 😂 I can sing in 10+ European languages.
Are you Bulgarian? Russian? Montenegrin? Serbian?
@@twentyzeroone2764 And also Russia is a part of Europe, that's the problem with *transcontinental* countries.
@@BlackHoleSpain We could call Europe+Asis+Africa one continent too, while Indonesia, Philippines, etc. should be part of the Oceanic continent.
@@twentyzeroone2764 No. Study your geography. It has an Asian part, AND a European part. And the major cities are in the European part.
Ofc it's all about exposure. Roman, Germanic and Slavic languages are easily recognisable for Europeans cause we grow up with it and we have a lot of cross country movement inside the EU.
Finally seeing Hungarians in videos like this... it was strange for me to hear Hungarian words on the Asia video... but I'm Hungarian
Hungarian words in the Asia video? Can you tell me which one was that video? But i guess those "hungarian words" was actually turkish loan words even in those languages too.
The tricky part on the last one is that somebody from Belgium could speak one of three languages, potentially. It would be like trying to guess somebody from Switzerland based on the language they spoke. In this case, the woman is speaking Flemish, which is essentially Dutch. But if she had been from Wallonia, it would have been French.
And then we have that very small German speaking part. Purely to keep people on their toes 😅🤣
The Belgians that speak Dutch (Flemish) do sound different from the Netherlands' Dutch so it's not that tricky. The real problem comes with French...
@@GloRia-yp2tj They also speak different. I was once mixed up with someone from Belgium, because I did a mistake with French numbers which would be probably correct if you are speaking French in Belgium which was not my intension.
@@florianmeier3186 We do speak differently but that’s vocabulary but not necessarily accent. People wouldn’t be able to tell us apart until we somehow have to say 70 or 90.
@@GloRia-yp2tj Yes, it was 70 in my case ;). The Belge solution seems to be more logical for a German who does not remember the French numbers correctly and starts guessing... The arabic trader trying to sell me something got completely confused and I learned something new as well...
I don't know why but as a german i understood a few parts of the belgium. especially the first sentences sounded a bit more like german so i thought she was from switzerland at first. I also immediately recognized french and polish.
I love Seong- Ji. She is sooo beautiful 😍
French is one of easy lounge to recognise and special if someone sing the French anthem.
5:23 - if I can add something, "pierogies" form has no sense to me (it is like double plural (?) form in here, which is strange) :D
I mean, people probably add "es" at the end of the word because they want to make a plural form of it. BUT. It already was in plural form - "pierogi". If we wanna say that we have just one, then we will say "pieróg". I hope it makes sense.
Love the video, it was fun 😗
The same way we say "chipsy" in Polish, which also in theory makes it double plural.
I just love how Hungarians are always in the comments when someone even just mentions Hungary or speaks Hungarian xd
