Entymology of Deutsch and Deutschland is pretty well explained in the Wikipedia article Theodiscus. In short it derived from the west germanic theudisk, wich means of the people or of the natives/inhabitants. From there it formed over the time and development of the german language over diutisk to duits to deutsch. Thus development can be seen in the danish and norwgian word tysk for Deutsch and in Dutch it would be Duits. The French Allemagne comes from the german tribe Allemannen with who they had first contact. PS: the Pennsylvania Dutch came from the south german area of Rhienland-Palatinate, Baden, Württemberg and Switzerland.
@@AP-RSI Stereotypes aren't facts. Just three examples: - David Hasselhoff had one big hit in 1989 here - that is now 35 years ago and a whole new generation grew up never having heard of him. There might still be fans of him in the older generation, but saying he is still popular here, is downright wrong. - The German state is called "Lower Saxony", not not "West Saxony". -John F. Kennedy's quote from his Berlin visit was put into a wrong context by the New York Times, and it's been passed on ever since - the jam-filled doughnut many Germans call a "Berliner", is in fact called a "Pfannkuchen" in Berlin. So no, the audience wasn't laughing about him, it was applauding him and cheering. There are more things in that video that are probably secondhand knowledge or hearsay. So no, you didn't have to live in Germany to get your facts right, but you definitely wouldn't get them right if you had.
10:25 "North America is just 2 countries". Okay, ngl... I was ready to laugh until I googled it. The US actually defines North America only as Canada and USA. So it's no wonder they thought it's two. It's just the definiton they were taught in school. The UN however counts any country as North American that is on the North American tectonic plate like Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica etc... and I guess most nations define it like that as well.
Technically, university is not completely free in Germany. There is no tuition but there are still some fees to pay, e.g. administrative fees and the membership fee for the non-profit organization for student affairs (Studierendenwerk) and often the fees also include a part for public transportation.
I think Spencer is not considered a last name in the first place in Germany, so that would be fine. You couldn’t have an obvious German last name like Müller, Meier, Schmidt or Schröder as a first name.
Fun fact: I sat and walked over multiple WW2 bombs. As probably have other German viewers here. A friend of mine lived in building where they found bombs after tearing it down to build new stuff. To find them during construction is quite typical. But sometimes they also have some nice findings. Archaeological findings from the bronze age happen every now and then. A couple years ago they found a burial ground during renovations for a parking lot of the local police department.
47:52 „get the father dues into the wilderness and get drunk“ … that’s plan A. But as you might know, German LAW allows EVERYONE to drink in public… you may get some looks, but hey.. that’s normal in Germany, even if you behave.
As a German the way you tell the time in the UK is confusing to me as well because it doesn't make any sense. it is half three because the hour to three is just half done. The hand of the clock did half the way to the full hour. full 3 = 3 and half 3 is ofc 2:30 That's the logic behind the way we do it.
deutschland comes from the word teutsch. thats the language. germany comes from latin germania. ger is the old germanic for spear. so the romans called them the spearpeople.

When your driver's license is suspended you don't have to get a new license. The police will just withhold your license for the suspension time and then you'll get it back. Of course there are fines for the offense, but in comparison to other European countries to fines for traffic violations are low. Usually you even can decide when the suspension starts, to certain degree, to manage things, e.g. when you need the license for work or for commuting. But if you are a complete lunatic on the road, your driver's license will be taken away from you on the spot. And your license won't get suspended for running out of gas on the Autobahn. The fine is just 70 € and one point in the traffic violation register. Actually it is just 35 € (and no point in the register), but if you stand longer than 3 minutes on the Autobahn it is considered parking and that is 70 €. It's safe to assume you'll be standing for more than 3 minutes when you run out of gas. If this causes an accident the fine will be 105 €. The reason why running out of gas is not an emergency is because it is easily avoidable.
Come on guys, the US is also called something different everywhere, just like EVERY country: états-unis d'amérique, estados unidos de américa, Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, Ameerika Ühendriigid, stany zjednoczone ameryki, Förenta staterna, to name just a few!!!
29:20 I am pretty sure it would be okay because it it also a well knowned front name in my opinion. The surname thing means more the German surnames like Müller for example I think. 47:18 YES pls react to "Diner for one"
The Federal Statistical Office (destatis) has determined that Germany will have around 82.6 million inhabitants in 2070, almost the same as today (end of 2023: 84.67 million inhabitants - including around 1.1 million Ukrainian refugees and 700,000 Syrian refugees).
31:00 Well University/ College may be "free" here (there are still some low administration fees ~300€ you gotta pay per semester) but what the Video doesn't tell you is that many courses have a numerous clausus. Which means you have to prove a certain level of academic excellence to be accepted in the first place into the course. So you could say we don't directly discriminate through money, we discriminate by academic performance. Which is more indirectly tied to money because rich kids have a lot of times better academic performance because of family tradition and less worries in their school life.
That's the stupidest sh't I've ever heard. Discrimination by academic perfomance 😂 Yes your workplace also discriminates against lazy and low performance workers by paying them less. That's exactly the opposite of dicrimination. It doesn't matter if your from a rich family if you can't perform in school. Also who do you want your doctors to be? The best i assume. The vast majority of courses doesn't even have a NC. But fact is that there isn't infinite capacity and this is the most efficient filtering. Not only that but have you ever heard of Harvard? Try getting into those types of colleges with just money. It's not a foreign concept anywhere in the world.
Why did Great Britain call Deutschland Germany ? Why do Germany call them ‚Grossbritannien‘ ? and the USA =‚die Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika‘ ? Because some words exist translated in other languages. Great=gross , Staate=Staat, united=vereinigt, if two Germans talk in German about e.g. USA, why would they use English words, when they have German words?
9:23 „only the British says CORRECTLY Germany“ LOL, „correctly“ … and the USA … 😂😂😂 that’s a shock, as they both speak English with different accents… Same shock, that Italy says Germania, like their ancestors, the Roman, did - wow 😉
Hänsel and Gretel leave the trail of breadcrumbs behind themselves, but the crumbs are all eaten so they get lost in the woods. They then find the house of the witch, which is made of Gingerbread. When it comes apperant that the old lady is out to get them, they burn her in her stove.
OK folks, as serious Germany culture seekers, you urgently need to do a Fanta comparison test. This means you have to get German or at least European Fanta and compare it with the US Fanta using a taste test. Otherwise I unfortunately can't take you seriously. The advanced course is then with German beer without using a bottle opener and all of this live in your next videos! enjoy! 😁
The Berlin Zoological Garden is not even the largest zoo in Berlin when you talk about area. But at one time it was the largest zoo regarding amount of species or animals. But this changes every now and then, since there quite a few zoos around the world with collections that big.
The longest word in German being "Donaudampfschifffahrts..." is a joke, btw. It's some meta humour where germans make fun of their own language, which is otherwise quite tame in comparison. Well, at least when it comes to annoying grammar and spelling. Our compound words are often even shorter than the english translations: e.g. a tooth brush becomes Zahnbürste. Instead of having two words for that one thing we use only one word for the exact same thing; and it has the same amount of letters.
When it comes to names. What he says is just partly correct. When it comes to name-giving in Germany the following rules must be followed: 1. the name must be recognized as a first name 2. the first name must be recognized as male or female (lets see how long we keep this one) // you can use a gender neutral first name but in that case you need a second name that clearly states the gender. 3. no fantasy names ergo no words you come up yourself (seen Elon) 4. no names a child would be ridiculed for 5. no religious names like Judas, Satan, Gott etc. 6. no clear last names can be changed to first names // there are many last names that are the same as many first names so you can have 2 first names which you see many times (e.g. Karl Friedrich) 7. you can have up to 5 first names. 8. in the end you give it a try. If your civil registry office accepts the name you're fine. Some of these will probably change over the years.
I'd say the Germans who don't know the Hoff are from the younger side. Maybe there are also differences between East and West Germany. When I grew up everyone knew David Hasselhoff and not only from the music but also from TV with Knight Rider and Baywatch.
even if the germans would use the "Germany" stem for their country, they would call it "Germanien", which in fact was sometimes used in older publications. (Even though its not correct, because Germanien was the area of todays germany, but included a much larger piece of europe at the time of the romans)
the bride kidnap is a tradition - bride get's kidnapped into a bar and when the groom "findes" her he has to pay the bill - but at 46 and never married i don't know how common this is in todays weddingplans
When it comes to germany being called differently in so many languages Well unlike the USA let's say, some countries were named before we communicated with each other so different groups called different people differently until they could ask how they call themselves but too late to rename and the old name stuck, not that hard to grasp I think
The word "Germany" was the given Name from the Romans who invaded Germany 2000 years ago. But the people allready living here had different names but shurely not the one from the invader. The word "Deutsch" (and of ourse the word "Dutch" too) is much older an means "The People" or "The Public". So Deutschland means the land of us people I guess.
Hasselhoff was very well known in the 90s and I guess pretty popular as an actor. His music was liked by this who are into radio pop music. So not by everyone. A lot of people were into other genres. I'm the early 2000 a lot of people still knew Hasselhoff. But if you go into the big brother house as a celebrity it means you are a very low tier celebrity. I don't think that much people under 25 even heard of Hasselhoff.
It is a fact, that declining birth rates occur in countries where women are educated and smart, and do not feel oppressed. Not because they want to necessarily focus on career and have no time, but because they want to have a life.
North America as a continent is 23 countries + several territories belonging to the UK, Denmark, France, the Netherlands and USA. The contient of North America goes down to Panama and the Carribean is included as well. North(ern) America as a region is usually 3 countries. Don't forget about Mexico. Mexico is nowadays mostly not considered to be in Central America anymore.
Btw: There are some countries who call themselves differently than what they are called in other countries, e.g. Greece = Hellas, Japan = Nippon, Finland = Suomi etc. And the Germans did not call themselves "Deutschland" to be different. What a silly notion!
Why would everybody in the world call it Germany? It's called different in almost every country. BTW... A German cartographer gave Amerika (America) its name. ;) America is also a twin continent, that's why it's called North and South America.
Of course you can be named Spencer. It's a common last name but als a common first name. This is about last names that are usually only used as last names.
There is a good safety net in germany and it´s unique in the world, but it comes with consequences. 14 to 42 percent of your wage (depends of your income) goes straight into father state pocket. So if you think deeply about there´s nothing for free. Nothing is free, not even death. But this must be paradise for Americans who will charged for every doctors visit or they get a huge bill from the hospital after a accident and if an ambulance ends up on the bill you're in debt for the rest of your life.
i think the hoff was well known as actor (knight rider) and singer in the 80s and 90s - now he is more like a living meme but not with a real fanbase anymore
Keep in mind-not even a year prior,butter costed around 1 mark.perhaps a little more ,but not that much.from one to a trillion in a year-scary ,to say the least.

It's not "the rest of the world" who calls us "Germany" -- it's just the English speaking countries. France = Allemange, Spain = Alemania, Poland = Niemcy, Netherlands= Duitsland, Sweden/Norway/Denmark = Tyskland, Japan = Doitsu
The OG German Fanta was very different from the modern Fanta. The base for the modern Fanta was created by Fanta Italy in the 50s or 60s. It surely has changed since then as well and it is different in different countries anyway, probably also different in different EU countries.
I just can't wrap my head around, when i see US citizens come over here, to see some real culture, and when the visit one of our 25000 castles? The first thing, they can think of is : They inspired even Disney, what in our understanding is the most uncultural thing, we can think of. Also: for us just unthinkable, that you have "restaurants", where beer is forbidden??? What?????

Spencer as a common american Name would be fine. But the video makes the mistake to assume some specific rules for names, it is rather a case by case decision. These decisions must all follow the principle of: "Could the kid be embarrassed by the name in the future or discriminated against in the future". Which highly depends on the Zeitgeist, culture of the family and the arguments the parents can make. So naming a German kid Müller Meyer wouldn't fly. Calling an kid with American Parents Spencer? Probably no problem. Calling your Kid Daenerys or Khallissy because right now Game of Thrones is the Hype? Highly depend on the person at the buero making the decision. Also Daenerys could be an exotic sounding name. Khalissy would be rather not because it isn't even a Name, it is a title. Calling Your name AEX1242? Clear no, poor kid.
dudes. the population in germany is shrinking cause the working class cant afford kids anymore. average kids per family in the last 30 years got down from about 1.8 to 1.4/1.3. salary stagnant. living costs exploding.
Germania = Latin. Why should we use a Latin name when we have one that tells you which LANGUAGE we speak ?? And since Americans had difficulties pronouncing the word "Deutsch" they changed it to the easier " Dutch " for the American " Germans ". And those different names for Germany come from the Germanic TRIBAL names those European countries came in contact with = Alemannen = Alemania (dropped an "n") or Alemagne . Alemannen lived in the South East hence the Spanish and French name and Sachsen or Saxons lived in the North East hence the Finnish Saksa. And you, dear Americans, speak a Germanic language originating from Lower Saxony and parts of the Netherlands = Anglo-Saxon aka ENGLISH !!! And don't let me get started on the fact that the Romans/Italians came in contact with a tribe called Tedesci !! And every Slavic language has a form of NEMEC = Deutsch in their own Slavic language.
Naturism/FFK is not quite an east thing, as the first "FFK-Verien" was founded in the early 1920s on Sylt. By the 1930 dozens of naturist-clubs existed all over Germany. The difference between East and West German Naturism of today may come form the way ppl viewed nudity as howl, also from how the way the relationship between nudity and sexuality was perceived differently in the two Germanys. Since it's quite hard to show ones "wealth/class and define oneself on that" in the nude, the west "my car, my house, my yard"-style of thinking was on oods with it; whilst in the east it was a away to "strip off" the system. ^^ Naturists can be found in the middle of the English Garden in Munich since the 1970s. ^^

2. the first name must be recognized as male or female (lets see how long we keep this one) // you can use a gender neutral first name but in that case you need a second name that clearly states the gender.
3. no fantasy names ergo no words you come up yourself (seen Elon)
4. no names a child would be ridiculed for
5. no religious names like Judas, Satan, Gott etc.
6. no clear last names can be changed to first names // there are many last names that are the same as many first names so you can have 2 first names which you see many times (e.g. Karl Friedrich)
7. you can have up to 5 first names.
8. in the end you give it a try. If your civil registry office accepts the name you're fine. Some of these will probably change over the years.
Yes, Berlin has lots of bridges... However, Hamburg still has more bridges, most in the world- more than Amsterdam and Venice together. ;)
I'd say the Germans who don't know the Hoff are from the younger side. Maybe there are also differences between East and West Germany.
When I grew up everyone knew David Hasselhoff and not only from the music but also from TV with Knight Rider and Baywatch.
even if the germans would use the "Germany" stem for their country, they would call it "Germanien", which in fact was sometimes used in older publications. (Even though its not correct, because Germanien was the area of todays germany, but included a much larger piece of europe at the time of the romans)
the bride kidnap is a tradition - bride get's kidnapped into a bar and when the groom "findes" her he has to pay the bill - but at 46 and never married i don't know how common this is in todays weddingplans
When it comes to germany being called differently in so many languages
Well unlike the USA let's say, some countries were named before we communicated with each other
so different groups called different people differently until they could ask how they call themselves
but too late to rename and the old name stuck, not that hard to grasp I think
57:00 We just describe everything in one word😎🇩🇪
The word "Germany" was the given Name from the Romans who invaded Germany 2000 years ago. But the people allready living here had different names but shurely not the one from the invader. The word "Deutsch" (and of ourse the word "Dutch" too) is much older an means "The People" or "The Public". So Deutschland means the land of us people I guess.
Hasselhoff was very well known in the 90s and I guess pretty popular as an actor. His music was liked by this who are into radio pop music. So not by everyone. A lot of people were into other genres. I'm the early 2000 a lot of people still knew Hasselhoff. But if you go into the big brother house as a celebrity it means you are a very low tier celebrity. I don't think that much people under 25 even heard of Hasselhoff.
Most of the information is very inaccurate or even a lot wrong. If you are interested, it is better to read the facts yourself.
It is a fact, that declining birth rates occur in countries where women are educated and smart, and do not feel oppressed.
Not because they want to necessarily focus on career and have no time, but because they want to have a life.

Depends on the amount of beer.
North America as a continent is 23 countries + several territories belonging to the UK, Denmark, France, the Netherlands and USA. The contient of North America goes down to Panama and the Carribean is included as well. North(ern) America as a region is usually 3 countries. Don't forget about Mexico. Mexico is nowadays mostly not considered to be in Central America anymore.
Regarding long words: the longest english word has 189819 letters.
Sooooo.........
Btw: There are some countries who call themselves differently than what they are called in other countries, e.g. Greece = Hellas, Japan = Nippon, Finland = Suomi etc.
And the Germans did not call themselves "Deutschland" to be different. What a silly notion!
Why would everybody in the world call it Germany?
It's called different in almost every country.
BTW... A German cartographer gave Amerika (America) its name. ;)
America is also a twin continent, that's why it's called North and South America.
we give a sheit about hasselhof
who?
Of course you can be named Spencer. It's a common last name but als a common first name. This is about last names that are usually only used as last names.
There is a good safety net in germany and it´s unique in the world, but it comes with consequences. 14 to 42 percent of your wage (depends of your income) goes straight into father state pocket. So if you think deeply about there´s nothing for free. Nothing is free, not even death. But this must be paradise for Americans who will charged for every doctors visit or they get a huge bill from the hospital after a accident and if an ambulance ends up on the bill you're in debt for the rest of your life.
i think the hoff was well known as actor (knight rider) and singer in the 80s and 90s - now he is more like a living meme but not with a real fanbase anymore
There IS a real big fanbase. Believe me.
Keep in mind-not even a year prior,butter costed around 1 mark.perhaps a little more ,but not that much.from one to a trillion in a year-scary ,to say the least.
50:09 Team Sitzpinkler or I had to clean the toilet myself getting chewed out by my mother. The only time I keep standing is in outside of my own home when there is an actual Pissoir or I've got an emergency piss against a tree in nature.
It's not "the rest of the world" who calls us "Germany" -- it's just the English speaking countries. France = Allemange, Spain = Alemania, Poland = Niemcy, Netherlands= Duitsland, Sweden/Norway/Denmark = Tyskland, Japan = Doitsu
The OG German Fanta was very different from the modern Fanta. The base for the modern Fanta was created by Fanta Italy in the 50s or 60s. It surely has changed since then as well and it is different in different countries anyway, probably also different in different EU countries.
Hänsel und Gretel had breadcrumps to find their way back home but those got eaten by animals so they lost their way home

There is actually a town in Germany with the name Dinklage.

Hallo,
I'm from Germany and i can see this!
Currywurst is awesome. If you're ever in Berlin, you absolutely have to try it. Also the "Döner" kebab ;)
I just can't wrap my head around, when i see US citizens come over here, to see some real culture, and when the visit one of our 25000 castles? The first thing, they can think of is : They inspired even Disney, what in our understanding is the most uncultural thing, we can think of.
Also: for us just unthinkable, that you have "restaurants", where beer is forbidden??? What?????
Neuschwanstein is related to Schwanensee? Someone explain.
i think Spencer would be okay as a first name
Hallo!
Spencer!
and btw - watching from germany without vpn or anything
30 payed workdays for holiday - per law! - off as an employeE ) sick days are no holidays, so extra by doctor of your trust! That is freedom ! alle visits to doctors and specialists ... and extreme in cancer cases all included and no costs for the patient) ...
the radio active wild boars arent much of a deal. they are around 2 meters shoulder height and have some additional horns on their back. there are sadly no photos because of the radiation all foto-films are just white and smartphones dont work in their present but you can google pictures of the warboar from world of warcraft, they come really close.
just joking 🤣
Believe me ,they already know the names of Germany!!!😂they were joking,for sure.
on which continent is mexico ?
They do not care about Mexico.
Spencer as a common american Name would be fine.
But the video makes the mistake to assume some specific rules for names, it is rather a case by case decision.
These decisions must all follow the principle of: "Could the kid be embarrassed by the name in the future or discriminated against in the future".
Which highly depends on the Zeitgeist, culture of the family and the arguments the parents can make.
So naming a German kid Müller Meyer wouldn't fly. Calling an kid with American Parents Spencer? Probably no problem.
Calling your Kid Daenerys or Khallissy because right now Game of Thrones is the Hype? Highly depend on the person at the buero making the decision. Also Daenerys could be an exotic sounding name. Khalissy would be rather not because it isn't even a Name, it is a title.
Calling Your name AEX1242? Clear no, poor kid.
dudes. the population in germany is shrinking cause the working class cant afford kids anymore. average kids per family in the last 30 years got down from about 1.8 to 1.4/1.3. salary stagnant. living costs exploding.
Birth rate also falling in the USA
Germania = Latin. Why should we use a Latin name when we have one that tells you which LANGUAGE we speak ?? And since Americans had difficulties pronouncing the word
"Deutsch" they changed it to the easier " Dutch " for the American " Germans ".
And those different names for Germany come from the Germanic TRIBAL names those European countries came in contact with = Alemannen = Alemania (dropped an "n") or Alemagne . Alemannen lived in the South East hence the Spanish and French name and Sachsen or Saxons lived in the North East hence the Finnish Saksa.
And you, dear Americans, speak a Germanic language originating from Lower Saxony and parts of the Netherlands = Anglo-Saxon aka ENGLISH !!!
And don't let me get started on the fact that the Romans/Italians came in contact with a tribe called Tedesci !! And every Slavic language has a form of NEMEC = Deutsch in their own Slavic language.
currywurst not in macces. but very common fast food
in my young wild years .. 2 women and i or i and two women ... and as a husbund sitzpinkler ja, but normal ) most americans cannot understand )
deutschland: land der deutschen -
land of the germans
Please reacted to Dinner for One. It´s very funny.
the nude thing is in east germany. in the gdr you not aloud to leave the country so they give the people areas to go naked :))
Naturism/FFK is not quite an east thing, as the first "FFK-Verien" was founded in the early 1920s on Sylt. By the 1930 dozens of naturist-clubs existed all over Germany.
The difference between East and West German Naturism of today may come form the way ppl viewed nudity as howl, also from how the way the relationship between nudity and sexuality was perceived differently in the two Germanys. Since it's quite hard to show ones "wealth/class and define oneself on that" in the nude, the west "my car, my house, my yard"-style of thinking was on oods with it; whilst in the east it was a away to "strip off" the system. ^^
Naturists can be found in the middle of the English Garden in Munich since the 1970s. ^^
