she says 'hundert' without the one- and most of us, aren't used to beauty surgeries :) age with pride :)
its the same in english.
hundred or onehundred
@@mats7492 its not the same...

how is it not? i just prooved it is..@@Gotenks-e1l
Why did they stop at hundred? I can offer my grandma for the 106
She said hundert :-)
When it comes to the number 100, Germans like to leave out the word ein, for convenience, and just say hundert instead.
98:
English: Ninety-eight
German: Eight and ninety
French: Four-twenty-ten-eight 😀
And you call German numbers weird???
Danish: Eight and half-less-than-five-twenties (where half-less-than-five-twenties is what is meant but only half-fives is said or written)
Nothing bets Danes when it comes to weird counting, they add the odditis from both German and French.
But it is only French in France, Canadian French has its own word for Ninety.
haha french nubers are crazy xD
Quatre-vingt-dix-huit
420
In German we say either "Einhundert" or just one "Hundert".
same in english
Same in Norwegian.
"Ett hundre" or "Hundre".
PS! All Americans...; Remember to always pronounce the "e" in the end.
I've heard his brother say "stör" about our Prime Minister "Störe".
@@TTDahl Same in German 😭 It's a Porsche not a "Porsch". It's Deutsche Bank not "Deutsch Bank" I don't know where they get this from. Maybe from French in which many letters are silent?
Yes, she said "Hundert" instead "Einhundert". In English is same as "Hundred" and "One Hundred"😊
We do the same in danish!👍🇩🇰
What I find interesting is that at 13-19 in English the back number is said first and that changes from 20 onwards. While in German the last number is always mentioned for 2 digit numbers.
I learned from a video (that I guess it was from @robwords) that the English language at times of Shakespeare some hundred years ago counted three and twenty, four and twenty, and so on, too, like in German or Dutch.
The English way of counting later changed, but kept the old word structure for 13 to 19. Unlike in French, for example, where nineteen is dix neuf.

@@OpaSpielt
In French is counting a lot more difficult. There the twenty or fourty seem to be the basis for some numbers.
@@HalfEye79frensh starts getting funny from 80 to 99.
fourtwenty = 80
Fourtwentyfiveten= 95
@@HalfEye79French numbers were my class' favourite "meme" back in eigth grade, we'd walk around saying "quatrevingtdixneuf" on and on 😂
@@camiro66 English has a similar thing, though rarely used, English has threescore and fourscore, which mean respectively three twenty and four twenty. The King James Bible for example reads "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six" (rev 13:18)
At my sister's eldery home was a Lady making it up to over 112.
she made it through 2 world wars, 1 concentration camp, the bombing of her shelter (church), was one of the first test subjects for anti biotica 'cause Syphilis deemed her to die anyway if the medic would not work, and so much more unbelievable shit...
in the end she was still quite clear in her head. Sometimes maybe forgot her own name, but sadly never her number and happily never ever the old songs (from the first note to the last word of the refrain)
There's actually quite a few amazing old people there if one takes the time to listen🤔
When I was young 50 years ago, elder people and especially wise people got a lot of respect.
I always wanted to be like that.
Now I am old and wise ( studied, reading a lot, reflecting a lot, loving philosophy) and no one has respect. It is all about being young and beautiful and rich.
And when I speak a whole sentence without mistakes or use a foreign word their will be a dumb person calling me arrogant.
You see on TV shoes most time the silly dumb persons are called cute and win the contests because of pre assumptions like
- people with little brain have a big heart.
- people who cannot speak their own mother tongue correctly, like a little child, are innocent.
Which is crap.
I met rich people and poor people, wise peolpe and stupid ones.
And most times it was the opposite that tv show lover think:
the more rich and the more educated and the more intelligent were the better, nicer, more empathic people.
There is a big difference between real truth and "media truth".

I think his ears are broken.
She said "hundert". Short for "einhundert" which is correct, too
Germans like to shorten things, I guess 😀
"Hundert" - "hundred"
"einhundert" - "one hundred"
the thing about 'not saying happy birthday in advance' is, that we usually say _"herzlichen glückwunsch zum geburtstag",_ which technically is more like _"congratulation to you birthday"_ - not really _"happy birthday"._ and 'actual congratulations' in advance would be weird.
also it brings bad luck to wish good luck in advance.

Hundert IS basically the same Word as hundred, we say einhundert or we shorten it to Hundert.
@@J.U... Certainly, and for once the scientists came up with a term we can all understand: the principle of least effort.
In german when you say 100 you can ignore to say ,,ein,, before and just say hundert
Thank you for the great videos. The US reactors made me realize how wonderful my country, Germany, really is. We Germans often criticize Germany so much because we are always striving for improvement and have no intention of duping other countries. We look after ourselves very much and deserve to be proud of it again. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to do that Because we have an evil history that we are all ashamed of. I hope at some point we can be as proud of our country as you are.
I never get it what it is to be proud of a country. I‘m proud of some German culture bits, I’m proud of some political achievements, either local or federal and I‘m proud of me and some friends for creating an organization / business that values some traits of my specific region. But I can’t feel pride to just a country itself. It‘s the same like I can‘t feel ashamed of a country itself.
Although I am kind of proud of investing time and thoughts in the core features of the EU. So it looks like I am only proud of things I was involved in. Maybe I‘m just not the norm.
In my opinion/bubble it changed a little bit.
There has been the soccer WM, years ago. Since this you can see some flags and national colours at sport-events and sometimes on october the 3rd (Happy Einheit 😉).
Hiking geht's more common at the younger people and cycling by e-bike at the older (as well as the younger). So they see (and like) the different landscapes in Germany.
While Corona 2020-22 the people discovered the nature around the cities. Some bought a caravan or a dog.
For familys there are some nice cheap possibilities to go in Holidays in Germany (by car it is often cheaper and easyer then by airplane).
Angela Merkel has been very popular.
There are some successful Bands they sing in German.
The climate-change makes summers more hot and less cold/rainy (in general).
So there are some things germans like their country more, then in the past. Maybe they never get as proud as the US, but ok with its nation.
@@MrHerrSfeel you
I‘m proud that Germany doesn’t try to bury its unpleasant past, but is constantly striving to reconcile it and do better. I worry when people push to not do the hard work of acknowledging the past.
Well, it sounds like English because English is an indo-germanic language.
I think - I thought: you even still write the "ch" as "gh": Ich denke - ich dachte.
It is called "historical orthography".
I noticed that colours of people differ in different countries. In Belgium the dresses and skin colours of people get beige when they age. Here in Portugal they get more and more black. In the US they often get grotesquely colourfull😊
Each year in early summer you can tell when it gets over 20 degrees because all the old people get out their white trousers.
@@jgr_lilli_ in which country?
Do many of your old people wear black because they are widowed? In Germany it used to be like that in the past (today they're also turning beige 😂).
@@themonstergummitier1844 Probably they turn black because of that tradition. But are Germans really getting beige? Last time I was there, older people were rather colourful.
@@themonstergummitier1844 no they dont turn black. young people wear more black than old people.
7:10 she said "Hundert" a shorten form of "Einhundert"
5:53 you're right. The 97 is unbelievable 😄👍🏻
It’s really hard to tell the age by the look. I‘m 38 now and it still happens that the cashier wants to see my ID if I want to buy wine (in Germany you’re allowed to buy wine with the age of 16 legally). Of course it’s a blessing to look so much younger, but for me it’s really annoying and embarrassing!
or you just look like a criminal and they want to check your name and address just in case. 🤣
@@Techmagus76 Nope! It’s definitely the „look younger“ aspect. And my address isn’t anywhere to find inside my passport (it’s the only ID I can provide).
i am 28 and sometimes people still think i underage xD
Ryan finds out that words sound different when spoken fast or slow. 😂
We often leave out the one before 100 because everyone in Germany knows that hundert means einhundert
@@Auvas_Damask It's not only, because everyone knows, I'm pretty sure both are correct. It's not slang. You'd typically say 'einhundert' if you wanted to emphasize the number and 'hundert' is generally more casual, although in most cases they can be used interchangeably. 'Einhundert' has no plural, but 'hundert' has (hunderte).
In english you have 'one hundred' and 'a hundred' which are used in a similar manner. One generally has more emphasis, the other is more casual. Plural is 'hundreds'. Quite a lot of similarities actually.
Funny, seeing "Sarazar" down there in the comments.
He was a kind of famous German RUclipsr some years back :D
In Germany you don't have to be 21 to go into a bar. You can buy beer and other similar low alcoholic beverages at 16 and all the other stuff at 18!!!
not going to school you on the 'Hundert' because other commenters already took care of that ;)
but as for where do they find so many old people. there's nothing easier in germany. we are a severely aging nation. as of 2022, 22.2% of the population is between 60 and 80, 7.2% are between 80 and 100.
29.4 % of the German population are 60+, so literally more than 1 out of 4 people you meet is bound to be over 60 years old.
You just have to go to a retirement home.
@@HalfEye79 you don’t even have to do that. You just address random old people on the street. They’re literally everywhere. No need to go to a specific location.
your chance to find people below 20 is slimmer. they make up only 18.8% of the population. So not even quite 1 in 5 people you meet.
btw even very old people are easy to be found still living independently on their own. my mom is turning 80 next year, still out and about walking her 15k steps every day. And just the other day I had coffee and cake with my old playschool aunty who is now 92 and also still living independently at home.
@@1983simi
Sure, but that would ensure it. Especially with higher ages (90+).
In Germany they will accept your ID at the bar if you turn 21 next month, legal drinking age is 18 for most alcoholic drinks, 16 even, for some specific beverages ;)
Beer, wine and sparkling wine (Sekt)
@@J.U... In all of them.
If you look younger, you need ID everywhere, even to buy a lottery ticket. I was 44 and had a mask on (due to the pandemic) and a baseball cap. I had no ID and wasn't allowed to play the lottery because of it.😅
Germans are a practical people. So when counting stuff that will never reach 200 we just cut off the "ein" of "einhundert". After all in this particular context it's entirely redundant. Same when you're grocery shopping, eg. the cashier might say "hundertzwanzig" (120) instead of "einhundertzwanzig" Only when you cross into the twohundreds they'll say "zweihundertzwanzig" (220)
Laber net
that's the same in english tho, I mean Ryan easily could have guessed that because one hundred and einhundert are very similar words, so you could guess she just said hundert like many english speakers also just say a hundred
how many times I've heard rappers say they're counting these hunnids (hundreds)
not "one hundreds"
or they got a "magazin with a hundred rounds"
not "one houndred rounds"
or they "spend a hundred bands"
you see where this is going
@@prodbysen
I think, that isn't the same, if somebody says "a hundred" ore "onehundred".
The examples, except the first, would be the same, if they said "magazin with hundred rounds" or "spend hundred bands".
@@HalfEye79 okay we could change the sentence to passive to make it work without "a" "hundred bands spent on a new watch" and "hundred rounds shot at the shooting range"
2:03
My man. trust me, you are not menially prepared how many accents and dialects of German exists in Germany.
hi we say einhundert for correct german and hundert is a type of slang a short form of (ein hundert) and the old lady only says HUNDERT
for phone numbers most of us count singel digits so its not confusing if someone noting the numbers but more often the last digit is just the more importent i guess ...
english used the same way it was "four and twenty" in english as well but a few hundret years ago you guys changed it
so we all counted for this for thousends of years fine xD
Totally off topic: Sarazar commented the video, haven't seen that guy in years!
He's making travelling videos now -- even for tv.
Did you realize, you count in english as germans do. Say the following numbers: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
Afterwards, you change. 21, 22, ... 😉
Outside of the USA kids don't get braces or their wisdom teeth taken out unless it's medically necessary.
WTF.... At least in finland we get....
@@rockrane1That's weird
Of course we had allmost free municipal dentist health care. Around 50e In year. No matter how much u got problems with teeth.
Sounds like b*llshit to me, at least as an Austrian I can tell you that I had correction on my teeth purely for aesthetic reasons and as my Dad is a dentist I know that's pretty common. My wisdom teeth stayed in until they became an issue, that's true.
Under 18 years everythin is free.often the Kids just dont wanna have braces on teenage. But what do i know.... Im only born and living in finland 51 year.
Einhundert is the longversion of hundert(100).
the woman at the end doesnt say "einhundert (onehundred)", she shortened it to "hundert (hundred)". AND YES, i had the same reaction about the 97 y/o when i first saw the video, he looks so young.
The only thing giving it away were his huge ears and nose.
'Hundert' is the short version of 'Einhundert' (one hundred), we mostly don't speak the 'one'
You remind me so much of my hostdad, when I was an Au-pair in Chicago for a year! he had so much fun getting to know the German culture through me living with them! Makes me want to invite you to Germany to show you around 😁 Love watching your videos! Greetings from Flensburg !
the dude thats 97 really looks 17 years younger no joke
Always with the braces.... I love myself a crooked smile. Looks more genuine to me and adds character ❤
What a waste of a perfect opportunity to learn to count from 1 to 100 in German. At the very least he could have learned and remembered 1-10 by the end of this but that clearly didn't happen. Too easily distracted by faces, braces, teeth, hair, etc. 🙄
Seh said just hundert = hundred not einhundert = onehundred
no
Now I`m sad... life is so short. 😪
My Great-grandma in germany is 96.
In english you count from 13- 19 the exact same way as in german.
So why is nearly every english speaking guy surprised about our counting 😉
I have been living in Germany since 2006 and I am always shocked when I see German women I met 10 years ago when they were 29 and I see them at 39 and they have lots of wrinkles. The German kids are so cute but by 40 most have lost that cuteness and German men look so old so young...Granted I am a person of color so everyone knows we age slower...BUt sometimes I compare other white Americans with Germans of the same age and they still look older...I can only think it is because of their really pale skin
I share your opinion. Up untill I was 35 I had to show my ID as I was often considered much younger as my actual age . I am flattered but with that at the time it was annoying because in the village where I lived people were gossiping and saying if my parents knew I haved such an older man and I am together with him because I wanted a green- card. My husband doesn't look old by no means but because he is tall and I'm much shorter and slim and yes I knew I looked like a 16 year old because of my rounded face. Now I'm in my fifties and when I am out with my sons people think I'm their girlfriend. When I'm about with my father some think I'm with an older boyfriend. My father has no grey hairs and is 87 , well ' black don't crack and some Asian don't rasin '.
If einhundert other peeps answered a question, does it makes sense that i answer it too? Pls. dont answer me on that. :)
My father became 104 years old. He needn´t glasses, pills or hearing aid. A life full of work. But he never looked like this.
beautiful video she just say hundred without a d, just "hunred" but in she said it in German (instead of hundert just hun[d]ert)
what we germans picked up from america is to find shortcuts in speech.
so the last person was saying "Hundert" insteaed of "Einhundert" because it is shorter
so they leave the first (Ein-) out to shorten the word and only add it back with the next one to differetiate for instance 200 (zweihundert)
169= hundertneunundsechzig (for comparison)
We didn't picked it up. It's Umgangssprache
i find it unbelievable how you are so focused uninterested Germans.
We are proud individuals and avoid surgery as long as everything functions 😉 most of us would act only when eyelids hang over the eyes or we look angry when we aren't. And we don't like plastic "boat" lips, better hell red lipstick. Eye wrinkles are sympathic 😁
she said hundert instead of einhundert the way you can say hundred instead of one hundred
She only sais hundred Not onehundret
we say often "hundert" instant of "einhundert" so "hundred" instant of "one hundred"
she said hundert that's the same like einhundert. similar to hundred or one hundred
holy crap i guessed 63 aswell and then u said it (at 97)
She says HUNDERT (HUNDRED without the ONE in One-hundred). Thats the short version to say it.
Hundert and einhundert is the same
The interesting question...how old is Ryan?
About 5😂
(one)hundret = (ein)hundert
I actually don't know how old I am ... ^^+gg I stopped counting at the age of 40 (Vierzig) ... XD
I am twnty years old. With many years of experience.
is this channel is just focusing on germany
This was filmed in Berlin? Never. Berlin has so much Turkish, Indian, Arabic and black people. Lack of diversity.
We say "hundert" instead of "einhundert". That's common. Einhundert is more for people working with money, I think.
Hey. React to the Audi RS6 200mph crash, because you once said, that you’d feel safe with a German in a car…
She didn'T say ONEhundret. she just said hundret. That's why it was that short. We usually don't say "one"hundret or "one" million. We specify if it is any other amount of millions other than one.
Kind of like you say 'a' million views instead of one million views.
In a newspaper i have seen a
VERY OLD LADY
She flies in a Zeppelin
She is 108..
I have to read her age three times.. i saw her on the picture anf fought in thinking:
THAT Lady is never ever over 83..
She looks so happy in the picture.
If i look at my fahter,who is 91,you can see he is old but not really HOW old.
She simple says "hundert" which is shorter for "ein-hundert" "one-hundred" i guess 1x something isnt necessary to mention.
She kinda said just hundred instead of ONEhundred
you can see how similar german to enlish is with 2 unique words that are only spelled once: eleven and twelve, in german: elf und zwölf.
Short words designed for these 2 number combinations only altough thirteen may be considered also in the list but only for english which i find fascinating and i wonder why it is the way it is.
please look nicht nachmachen best german thing ever.
i randomly got this channel recommended with the german satire show about ISIS.
Why are you interested in german stuff? As a german it is cool to know that some people are interested in our country , but its also weird tbh :D
71? Pretty hot for a 71 year young. I mentioned that for a friend 😂 You should have told the translator hundred not onehundred.
She hasn't got that much time to call it einhundert. 'cause it isnt necessary. So a short Hundert is fine
It's saying onehundred (einhundert) versus (a) hundred (hundert). If any qualifiers are missing that it's 200 or higher, hundert will do
Please watch: " This is Germany!"- a stunning areal view !!
Say "100" in english without the "one" what do you get? ... Common sense must be optional in the US.
Hello ,ryan..I never know, if you Read my comment. but 100 -einhundert is High-German, but the german folk-speak say only hundert, without ein...;) simular in english you dont say onehundred, but only hundred!!;)...and pronounce it like -hundat...;)
don't worry, somewhat like a 100 people already answered the 100 question prior to you
you can say "onehundred" or just "hundred"
She said "Hundert" instead of "Einhundert" - 100, you can shorten it
well my parents being in their late 50's look more like most people in their 70's 😂
It wasn't always like that the second number was said first. Some sicks changed it.
You can say "Einhundert, or Hundert" it's all right ;-)
For 100 You can say einhundert or hundert in the germab language. AG
Hundert is short for Einhundert. "Ein" short vor "Eins"(One) so you count einhundert, Zweihundert(200) Dreihundert(300) but with "Einhundert" we just say Hundert
Hundert is not a short form but in fact the official therm .
Same in English: hundred, two hundred, three hundred....
One hundred is used e.g. in aviation to avoid missinterpretations.
Since the age of 200 is very unlikely, the saying of "hundert" is enough.
You can say hundert or einhundert, both are equally valid. The ein just meins one.
7:18 Ryan, bewildered: "That was fun..." 🤣🤣
I wish they had shown people over 100. But I think all these people live in Berlin?
you don't have to say Einhundert, you can also say Hundert to hundred
I find it fascinating how many reflected on "hundert".
I like this video. How old are you? I am almost 38.
The guy who is 24 looks like 30 or older. Im a german
We live so long and so helthy bcs our helthcare.....
i went here for reaction Videos, followed for the blue eyes 👀
100 like hundred for hundred (in ahort in German)
it is simelar to english onehudret just say hundret
the older people are all in a retirement home
Hundert means Einhundert.
yes "hundert" is abbreviated for "einhundert" it's like saying "hundred" instead of "one hundred"
In deutschland sagen wir nicht einhundert...wir kürzen es ab und sagen nur hundert ..😊
