    For future reference, Tonga is too tropical to look like that, that is just a Western suburb. And NZ has a sizable Tongan population with over 82,000. Plus your chances of actually seeing Tonga in one of these rounds is pretty slim (as in never, they don’t have official street view) when compared to NZ.

    Jack, some suggestions for Italy:
    -95% of italian words end with vowels, differently from other romance languages
    -The double blue license plates are italian (but they can also be French)
    -If you see a lot of Fiat Panda (like you did on 17:19 ) it's certainly Italy (most common car)
    -A lot of people also usually forget Italy isn't just sun and sea, there are a lot of mountains, so if you see an alpine looking place don't exclude Italy right away

    • @mxrt0
      @mxrt0 2 года назад +9

      First of all the trick for telling apart Italy from others is not the double blue REAR plates - France also has those. The thing that separates Italy from France is that the front plates, which also have a double blue, appear to be short in Italy as opposed to normal/long in France. Good to know because your statement isn't entirely correct.

    Hello! Serb here! Here are some tips for geogessr to know if you are in Serbia:
    1. In Serbia, there are signs that have Cyrillic and latin together, for example: Нови Сад - Novi Sad
    2. If you are in a city in Serbia, for example Zemun (Земун), you will definitely see some Orthodox churches.
    3. In the capital, Belgrade (Београд), You will see some Serbian embassy's or those buildings
    4. Serbia for short is RS as in Republic of Serbia

    You did not have many tips about the middle east/north africa so here are some of mine!
    There are only 3 countries that speak Arabic that will appear on Geoguessr frequently - Jordan, UAE, and Tunisia. Israel is also in the middle east, but they speak in Hebrew.
    If you are in the UAE, it will frequently be near Dubai, so lots of modern things, etc. You will also usually find more English here.
    If you are in Tunisia, it will typically seem quite deserty. Also all phone numbers in Tunisia will have only a 2 digit area code. Also a car that follows the google one.
    If you are in Jordan, you might also find some English. Look for the yellow/green cars, they are really common there.
    Hope this helps!

    Norway uses an EU-ish Licence plate, but with the norwegian flag instead of the EU one.

    Tips for Europe
    -Italy has blue strips on both sides of license plates, and the front plate is way shorter than the back plate.
    -Those electricity poles with many holes in them, are mostly found in Hungary, Romania and Poland. Romania usually has the bottom of their poles painted in white, while Hungary’s poles are usually thicker than the ones in Poland or Romania.
    -If you have a giant rift or a hole in the middle of the sky, you should be in either Montenegro or Albania. Albania uses a mixture of double blue strips (like the one in Italy) and one red strip on their license plates.
    -Portugal has a yellow strip on the right side of their listened plates, and the eu blue strip on the left.
    -The electricity poles that are shaped like the letter ‘A’ are mostly found in the Baltic countries
    -Serbia and North Macedonia usually don’t have an antenna on the back of their car.

    as an Italian I can give you some advices
    1) most of the words ends with a vowel
    2) don't exclude Italy when you see mountains because in the north there are the alps
    3) the REAR plates have the 2 blue things on both sides, but only the rear one
    4) pay attention to words like 'via ' (example : via Annia)
    5) 'San' it is used to indicate a church or some religious place, so if you see something like (example) 'basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano) it's Italy
    (btw all the examples I made I got them from Google maps so it's possible that you can easily find them on the map💀)

    One simple trick to recognizing Hungarian: It's the only language that uses the letter ő - that is an o with two accents (not to be confused with ö, an o with umlaut). It's a very common letter in Hungarian as well, so it's a rule that has a lot of use!
    I use a bunch of little tricks to distinguish between similar languages, but at the level of "this one has long words" I don't think they'd be very helpful lol. But maybe one you might find useful is that Finnish and Estonian use a lot of double vowels - if you see a long word with "uu" and "ii" in it, you're probably in one of those two.

    Whenever it is cloudy:
    ‘Are we in Sweden/Finland/Norway/Denmark?’
    No, Jack! You don’t know what Nordic countries look like at all! Please have a look at what Nordic houses and terrain looks like, because it is very distinctive, and easy to notice.
    That Italian round was particularly bad, because you didn’t realise that it was winter at all. There [are] trees with no leaves on them! Believe it or not, Italy gets cold in the winter! The -io and -o suffixes are also very Italian. The à/á is very common in places like Hungary, I think.
    ‘los’, ‘de la’ is always Spanish, ‘das’/‘da’ is Portuguese.
    Also, Romanian is a Romance language, and is similar to Italian, so don’t let yourself be caught out by that. The EU number plates help to distinguish between countries like Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia, from countries like Russia and Ukraine. Quite often, when there are no signs, the landscape is the most important thing to pay attention to. I can generally distinguish between Nordic, Western European, Mediterranean, Eastern Ukrainian/Western Russian, North American, South American, MENA, and African terrain, which helps a lot.
    It’s a good idea for you to familiarise yourself with these different climates, and also to recognise that the weather is not so important. Just because the area is cloudy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is somewhere away from the poles. I often see countries like Kenya being cloudy/rainy (the name of the country will often be on churches, too, for Kenya), for example.

    Tips for hungary!
    Since you missed the "ice cream shop" that is actually a cigarette boutiqe, every single one has the hungarian flag on its logo below the 18.
    Very weird looking latin *wovels* with dots and lines above it are usually hungarian but if theyre *syllables* theyre most definietly are polish or other slavic languages.
    When in the rural area, a lot of houses can be pretty nice eith a cute garden and fence around it, but also the diversity shows collapsed buildings sometimes.
    When in a more populated area, try to look for as many flags as you can, you will definietly find a hungarian one in a few minutes because we jjst love our flag.

    8:39 As a Swiss I knew pretty quickly that this could be my Home country, but the yellow signs at 9:00 really gave it away. They show hiking paths and I don’t think I’ve seen signs in this style in other countries. So if you see such signs, it’s probably Switzerland (or Liechtenstein, but that’s even less likely than Switzerland).
    Other hints for Switzerland (that weren’t in this video):
    If you find signs with more than one language (German, French, Italian and/or Romansh) it is a good hint that it could be Switzerland (that doesn’t work the other way around, most signs will just have one language on them, so don’t exclude Switzerland cause it only has one language on a sign)
    If you are in the German part you’ll probably see a lot of ä, ö and ü, but if you see a ß it’s a good sign, that you are NOT in Switzerland (ß is only used in Germany and Austria, but not in Switzerland or Liechtenstein).
    If you see words with the ending -li it’s a good sign that you are in the Germanspeaking part of Switzerland.
    If you are on a highway, the signs in Switzerland are green, while they are blue in Germany, Austria and France. But careful: If you are not on a Highway, you can find blue signs in Switzerland.
    Cause we’re not in the EU, we don’t have the blue thing on our license plates.
    Not as helpful, but sometimes it can help: Backplates of cars have two coat of arms. On the left it’s the one of Switzerland, on the right it’s the one of the canton (cantons are like states of Switzerland) the car comes from (sometimes you can see them as two spots of colors on the backplate).
    And if you see square flags that’s also a good indicator for Switzerland. Obviously the Swiss flag is square, but also the flags of cantons or municipalities (so flags you probably won’t recognize) are pretty much always squares.

    Here’s my two cents, coming from an Italian:
    - French has a lot of accents, mostly è or é or ç in THE MIDDLE of words (if you find è as a single word it’s Italian, unless there’s another language I’m not aware of that uses that as a single word. It’s a third person singular verb btw, it means is).
    - for Spanish and Italian you can tell the difference by the articles, if it’s los or las it’s Spanish, if it’s il or la or le it’s Italian.
    - Italy has lots of road signs for restaurants (they are basically the same as those that say the name of streets or towns, but they are either white or brown and have like a little fork and knife symbol in front), they usually say agriturismo or trattoria.
    - for Portuguese I’m not sure but I always felt like in Portuguese words tend to end in -ao a lot more than in other Romance languages, but be careful because Italian also has many words that end like that(feel free to add/correct me if you know more).
    - I feel like you shouldn’t count on stop signs to figure out the language that’s used in a country, in Italy for example we also use stop in normal conversation (not in the same way you do in English though and very rarely but still)😅.
    - Another thing, if a word has lots of accents that are like š or ś or ž or ź or č or ć anything similar in consonants (ê and î for example are also used in French) it’s a Slavic language usually.
    Hope this helps and great video 😊🥰.
