Me: Googles “is Wales its own country?”
Google: Well, yes but actually no
Wales is its own Nation
@@liamski629 geographically
@@amediocrecatholic7398 Its one of the nations that make UK like Rep of Ireland one of the Nations that makes the EU
@@jameshazelwood9433 Yes, but the meaning of the term 'nation' is _twofold: _*_geographical/cultural_*_ and_ *political*. The former refers to a collection of people of common attributes (e.g., shared culture, descent, history, language, geography, beliefs, etc.), so technically it is synonymous with 'ethnicity'. For example, 'the Roman Catholic nation'. Whereas, the latter refers to your political _nationality_ -- of what countr(y/ies) you have legal citizenship of. This is listed in your birth certificate and passport. For example, 'British', 'U.S.A.', and 'Canadian'.
Definitely, the geogaphical/cultural nationality of Wales is 'Welsh', but its political/legal nationality is 'British'.
@@amediocrecatholic7398 Wales does have a government that has substantial powers as seen in the lock down periods but you are correct to say we are part of the Union that also has substantial powers I do not think that is enough to say we are not a nation though as culturally I would say we are certainly the strongest of the Celtic nations. Being British is geographical and means you are from the Island of Britain it is not national like being European is not national although if you are from an EU member state then obviously you live politically under that Union like the Welsh live under the UK Union
the American education system has failed me, this is very helpful!

I'll have to watch this a few more times before understanding this. I never knew the British Empire was so vast.
EpicElle7 It was the biggest empire in history, what do you expect?
@@YangSing1 don't flatter yourself
@@dimieneyitemi1721 Lmao
You are talking about British then I should say British people are only those people who are from England
@@arghaghosh945 british people are those from England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland so basically the UK
Finally someone has talked about it....
Ikr
He seems to have something against Canada with respect to the commonwealth and Commonwealth realms,never mentions it and it's the biggest C. realm.
As an Asian,I never knew about this I thought UK and Britain are the same.England is in UK
@@jarrygarry5316 please see my comment and educate yourself. I love to learn of different countries and traditions. Love how you life to learn.
From the burgh of edin.
You take a buncha selfies don't you..?
I’ve lived in UK all my life and never had it explained so clearly. Any chance you’ll be producing a t-shirt with the slang terms?
I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
Investing in stocks is a good idea, a good trading system would put you through many days of success.
All you need as a beginner to make good profit from crypto currency is a professional trader who will trade on your behalf else may make losses
It is possible to produce superior performance provided you do something different from the majority. However most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
@@christianmark3244 You are right but the market is profitable if you are using a really good broker or account manager to help out with trades or provide signals
Exactly, the trick is to diversify your investment, don't panic when everyone else is and invest consistently.
Thank you informative .
We need information about British titles: Mr,Sir,Lord,Lady,.....
It is confusing.
See: Mister, Miss and Misses (Madam/Ma'am and Sir too) are normal forms of address for commoners, My Lord, My Lady (his/her Grace and other of this kind) are forms of address for the nobility - to be correct the peerage.
If you are interested in form of address of the nobility feel free to use that link:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forms_of_address_in_the_United_Kingdom
I hope I could help you because I didn't found a video of Tom, explaining this.
@@ninjakeks9326 I read somewhere that Britons generally use 'Madam' and 'Sir' chiefly for non-nobility professionals (e.g., school-teachers, doctors) and 'Mister' and 'Miss' chiefly for complete strangers (in an informal/unprofessional context). Is this true?
Am I the only one here who feel the host looks like Daniel Radcliffe?
James Zhang he does!
No I thought I was the only one at first ahah
Same
He does look like Potter. around the eyes. Or maybe because I’m an American
Yea , a cross between Daniel Radcliffe and Abe Lincoln!
Thank you so much
Very educational
Waving from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
You are very welcome Cresente : ) waving back from London
Great content as always Teacher Tom! This answered a multitude of questions which I never thought of asking. Quite fascinating!
My questions got answered. thanks
I’ve tried to explain this to all my friends and they still don’t understand, thank you for making this one Tom!
Great news! Well now you can save yourself the trouble and just show them this lols!
What is not understandable. You've really stupid friends. I wouldn't wonder if they're Americans.
@@lindenbeck Hey, now. Only about half of us are stupid.
@@lindenbeck mister/ma'am, if you are from the UK and/or know this system pretty well, please do explain why Tom calls England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland "countries". If they really are countries, what is "the UK" then? Why are they not called "regions" or "states" like in the USA which would make more sense to me.
I'm from Russia which is the name of the country. All of its constituent entities, depending on different factors, belong to a certain type (oblast', krai, republic, etc). Primorsky krai, the Republic of Mordovia, Tyva Republic, Moscow oblast', etc. - are simply different parts of the country named Russia (=the Russian Federation), each with their local laws (that still obey the laws of Russia).
Suicide Yeah you answered your question yourself.
the Uk means the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norrthern Ireland.
Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales
This is fabulous information, Tom! I have always tried to explain the U.K. without knowing *_half_* of this! Just brilliant and thank you from the heart. 👍🌹
Perfectly and clearly explained. Thank you!
Finally I understood the difference. Thank you so much. Very useful video.
I didn't think I would be clear but you clarified it man,
Great video with lot of valuable informations! Watching this videos we learn not only English language but alsoabout History, Geography and the Politics. Thank you so much!
I think that your explanation is very good for foreigners to understand about the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland geographically and politically.
Hi Tom!
May be you will be more feedbacking man: there is one very interesting and big theme - it's about "Home Counties" in Britain. See, please: would you mind telling us how to pronounce for example:
1. Surrey (I always call it "Suh- rrr- ay", but not "Sah- rih"). And Surrey consists of:
- Addlestone
- Runnymede
- Spelthorne
- Waverley
- Woking
2. Leicestershire:
- Melton
- Oadby and Wigston
- Harborough
- ...etc.
It would be very helpful - how to say all of Britain places :) And not only RP English! How it sounds in other dialect too.
Hey Wasil, send me a message on Instagram and I'll try and pronounce them for you.
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish Thanx, Tom! But I thought it would be a very interesting theme for lesson not only for me... for a lot of people! :)
Awesome video !
i came here because my teacher gave me this video to watch and it´s really cool !
It's nice to learn all about UK. You explained it well. Thanks!
Northern Ireland doesn't have a flag nor an anthem.
Colouring it orange on your map is also very contentious.
@@BJWC I didn't express myself fully.
Unlike Scotland and Wales it doesn't have its own separate anthem nor flag.
@@BJWC Yes but Flower of Scotland is used as its anthem and the St. Andrews Cross is its flag.
The Welsh officially have Land of My Fathers and the Welsh Dragon.
N.I. has neither.
@@gastrickbunsen1957 Scotland and Wales may use songs as anthems, but they are not official. The Scottish and Welsh flags are national flags for those countries/regions of the UK, but the only official flag for the UK as a sovereign state would be the Union Jack
As Ben said, the only official national anthem within the UK is GSTQ. And by default the flag for Northern ireland is the Union Jack.
@@rusticpartyeditz You're missing my point.
*Scotland and Wales have agreed upon national anthems and flags, Northern Ireland have neither a flag nor an anthem the whole populace have embraced.
*Okay they have two contenders but "Flower of Scotland", is the front runner.
@@BJWC England, Ireland and Scotland were separate countries, which is why the Union Jack is made up of the three national flags from each nation.
Wales on the other hand was (and still is many ways), a principality of England.
Yet, the Welsh feel unified enough to recognise an individual anthem and flag.
Northern Ireland has neither of these things because no attempts of unification had been employed by Stormont prior to the GFA.
Thanks for the detailed explanation finally I understood the difference.
Thanks.
Now, it's clear to me.
Very nice and informative video! I used to get the UK, Britain and England confused a lot too when I was younger but I've come to tell the difference now that I'm older and why these different names are used. Btw, doesn't also Canada have the queen as head of state?
Didrick Namtvedt Indeed
@Harun Mohamed she is the monarch of 16 independant countries in 15 of them she is represented by a governor general. Calling her the Queen of England is wrong.
3:26 is the "Cliff Notes" version of this great video. But I recommend you watch it all.
This was very helpful.
Why am I watching this, I’m from England and know this stuff, lol
(But I can see how useful it could be if u didn’t know)
Would it be wrong to say that Britain is a country? if it's not a country then what should I call it?
That's why it's there .
From the U.S. found this very educational
Nice lesson teacher Tom! Love from India
My pleasure Ayona : ) Hi from London
Same it was very very helpful and I am from India too
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish London is just a city thats all it is 😂
Exactly the answers i was looking for. Great video.
This is very well explained. Thanks from Kenya!!!
Now i get the meaning of U.K
It's not only England but there are 3 countries too✔️
*Countries
@@VictorVonDoom. 3 countries?
Not really is just uk just like USA
wales is a principality not a country has been attached to us since the 13th century I mean England.
Good sharing. It gets easy to understand although the author is saying it's complicated! Truly appreciated!
I hope my work mates will understand now 😂😂tried to explain before but none of them really understood me.Thank you
Not all commonwealth nations have the British Monarch as head of state.
This is called the "British Isles"; Ireland, "we disagree with that terminology."
Thanks a lot. This really cleared my doubts. Keep up your awesome work!!
You sent me back to my elementary school days with this video! :-)
Excellent explanation!!
Glad you enjoyed it Sylvia : )
Thank you! That helped.
U made it clear to my understanding all one country.
A really needed video
Great! So pleased to hear you found it useful : )
Yayyyyyy!! Love this Video ❤️
Thanks so much for the Information 😊 But it's a bit confusing 😅
🤣🤣
i’m australian i just never knew what the difference between britain and england was
i learnt more than i expected
Excellent. You hit it right on the head. This info is what I sought and I landed on your video. That was quite an education. Bravo.
Shared this with my class. Great Video!
Great explanation. Finally understand that I understand nothing actually.
very nicely explained thanku so much i understood it the first time i watched it ......
The best presentation with anthems also❤Thank you!
Thank you so much Tom, now it’s very clear to me the difference of Uk and Gb
Thanks for the clarification
Mate I am in Greece now but, I studied in the England, I lived in England for two years but I never really got to learn the differences. Thanks for that even though it is an old video.
Thank you for making this video. This has always been a confusing subject for someone who prides themselves on geography. I think may need to review this just to get it straight. I had always wondered why I saw that white flag with the red cross across it at some Chess tournaments representing England, and then the common UK 🇬🇧 flag. Ugggg
People may now be wondering Why they ever asked. 🇬🇧🤣 I'm British, Catholic, Glaswegian,Celtic fan unionist.🇬🇧
thank you very much that was supper helpful
This is an important lesson. I know many people who get confused. For instance, when I say I live in Ireland they say I earn my salary in Pounds not Euro... Things like that.
I would like to thank our fellow sovereigns from across the pond the UK for such that acronymous name as BREXIT. It's because of BREXIT we now have BLEXIT LEXIT JEXODUS and the new AEXIT ... Very simple and to the point! LEXIT is some times referred to as LAXIT, and Both are refered to but not directly related to the Walk Away Campaign, as well JEXODUS and AEXIT.
Thanks for the knowledge, Tom.
I must appreciate your efforts. It was really great and the only request from me is to be a little bit slow while explaining. Thanks
With such a complicated UK, no wonder people can't /could not believe in EU!!!
Great video, which is clear and disperses all misunderstandings. Around me nobody agrees on crown dependencies and British overseas territories!!
sir this is very informative.thank you so much.....i was very confused between these,,,now doubts cleared,thanks again and lots of love from india
Very simple and informative thanks Boy
Just a few pointers.... there is no English parliament. There is no official flag for Northern Ireland and Flower of Scotland is not the official anthem it just a song adopted by various sports bodies and has become an unofficial anthem as Jerusalem is used as an anthem for England.
Thanks, clearly explaneid. ✅
Thank you very much. I learned a lot. It enlightened my confuse mind.
-England and Britain is in UK
-Britain consists of England, Wales and Scotland
-UK is consisted of Britain and Northern Ireland
The Brits truly know how to rock N roll !!! (David Bowie - Rolling Stones - Led Zeppelin - The Beatles - Eric Clapton - Sex Pistols)
I'm so proud that my country (Malaysia) is one of the members of Commonwealth!
Stefan Tan 👍 lots of people are proud to be a part of the Commonwealth (Learn English football vocabulary on my channel... if you like football!)
@@LeMerch, Malaysia was part of the British Empire from 1867. Majority of the former British colonies are now part of the Commonwealth of Nations.
We're happy to have our Malaysian friends in the club .Marvellous people . Take care ,Stefan .
Most people I know from the UK refer to themselves as British. I've always thought that Britain and UK were interchangeable. Thanks for the info.
I am British but I am also Northern Irish I am both Just like a texan is a Texan and an american
@@PS-ru2ov You aren’t British as the guy literally said in the video that Britain only refers to England, Scotland and Wales. A Scottish person is Scottish and British, a Welsh person is Welsh and British, but if you are from Northern Ireland than you are only northern irish.
I saw once, around 13 years ago, Malaysian troops were working to guard the Queen's/the Royal Palace. What was that, Malaysian troops guard the Royal Palace?
Nice vid. Couple of comments if I may as a native Brit: contrary to your comment, England does NOT have its own government, while the other three countries do (Westminster is the UK government not English government). Also, we've always traditionally said "British Isles" , but now it's more accepted to say "British & Irish Isles". Not criticisms though, it's a great vid
I've never seen ,"British and Irish Isles" either in print , or otherwise .
@@normanpearson8753 You will going forward Norman, and in Ireland it's "Irish & British Isles". The collective touring rugby team for decades was the British Lions, but in this century it's British & Irish Lions. It's a recognition that historically the Brits tended to forget about Ireland...
Now tell me which part plays cricket and which part plays football? I'm a huge fan of both Harry kane as well as Joe root
I'm looking forward to getting your book
Cheers Javi, it's about 3 weeks away : )
Tom! One more question: do you know how to play the bag- (horn-)pipe? Can you play it?
This is a remarkable lesson wow.....now i understand
Why are there English, welsh and scotish football teams? And at the Olympics they play together????
janeth villacorta This happened in the past when it was an amateur competition and in the London Olympic Games to promote the matches, but that’s it. I teach and help football fans with English football vocabulary on my channel if you like football!
The individual countries of the UK have their own respective football associations so therefore they have separate national teams. The Olympics is different as those countries do not have their own Olympic committees, instead there is a British Olympic Committee, as they usually represent sovereign states
The FA was founded in 1863, the Scottish FA was founded next, then the FAW ( Wales) in 1872. The first three football associations.
This is a lesson of a definitely higher educational level, thank you very much Tom 👍 I'm happy to have found out your channel about two years ago (.......I don't remember how 🤔): it's not just learning English 🙂
As for the subject of the video, it seems to me to understand that UK is a sort of "reduced-scale" EU....... more or less.......
Alice Rossi Not really since the EU is not a country
@@YangSing1 I agree, that's the reason for my "more or less" 🙂
I have a question:
When talking about nationalities,
Who should I call Btitish and who should I call English?
🙁😯🤕🤔
Thanks for explanation. Things became a little clearer now. 🎩🇬🇧👍
Very well explained! Cheers!
Great explanation! Thanks!!
Thanks
Thanks for your information mate🤗🤗
Thank you very much,teacher Tom😉
My pleasure Vasya : )
Great lesson Tom. I'm from Argentina and as you may know we have a controversial relationship about sovereignty of Islas Malvinas (Falklands Islands). Nevertheless, I really appreciate the lesson, very useful. 👍
Pablo Federico Fidel Améndola Argentina 🇦🇷👍✌️ If you like football, I teach English football vocabulary on my channel.
that they are British because the people of the falklands want to be British
Donbass region are Russian speaking they want to belong Russia, but your bastardo boris says no....and Europe! You are hypocrite....
What about these flags 🇬🇧(uk) and 🏴(Eng) ... somebody plz explain me ?
The flags of Scotland🏴 England and Ireland are placed on top of each other and you end up with this combination 🇬🇧
Wow really complicated Tom. Thanks for the lesson
Hah! 17 years old and still didn’t know
Not many people realise that people from the Crown Dependencies cannot vote in the general Election - but they DO vote in their own parliaments.
Nice one Top! Keep on keeping on!
Thanks for the explanation... helps a lot
Useful Video...
Thank you.
Interesting. As an American I never realized that the other countries had patron Saint holidays. Makes sense given there's more people of Irish descent in the US than English.
Thank you so much for this information.. Keep going man.. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for explaining this to me
Finally... My question for all this time answered.. thank you 🤣
didn't you learn this stuff in the middle school?
I haven't actually.. my geography class do not dive deep into this kind of topic.. so just know only these are England,Scotland and Ireland, it's part of UK.. btw my middle school is around 2009-2012.. is a long time ago hahah...
@@raviasmara it's not even geography stuff, it should be covered during the English lesson, I mean, that's what you do when you study any language, your mother tongue or foreign language, you discuss geography within the framework of the language studies, not geography
Ari Goldman holy shit you are so smart want a trophy
We were never taught this
Thanks for the lesson
