In Germany they call a certain type of cookie with half white and half black frosting an "American". My German friends told me once they were eating Americans and I said I'll show you! I'm going to go eat a Hamburger and a Frankfurter!
Just popping by the most recent of the vids to see if anyone knows why this channel died? It was my favorite for a number of years. Sad to see no new posts for almost a year and a half.
It seems that if their channels don't get popular enough to justify all the hard work that goes into them, RUclipsrs get disillusioned and move on with the rest of their lives.
Here in Spain, we also use _ensalada americana_ and _puños americanos_ for cole slaw and brass knuckles, respectively. PS: A blazer is literally called _Americana,_ meaning american.
In German film studies (not sure about other languages) a certain type of camera angle that shows a person from head to waist is called "American shot", reason being old western films often used it so the revolver and face could be seen at the same time.
Hi Arika Could you please make a video about the different ways of pronouncing the phoneme "ch" ? Why is it pronounced as /k/ in chemistry , /sh/ in machine and /tsh/ in children? Thank you
@@thomasmann9216 No,. he's right. There isn't such a phoneme as ch, ch is just a combination of 2 orthographic symbols which just so happen to represent lots of different sounds. The ch chemistry is pronounced /k/, in machine it's /ʃ/ and in children it's /tʃ/. Listen closely, they are all pronounced differently. I'm not (yet) qualified to propose theories or give reasons as to why that's the case, but I can tell you, linguistics is a very complex subject & it takes an insane amount of research to answer a question like this.
@@flowerdolphin5648 In my language all those words with 'ch' are pronunced with [x] sound (like ch in scottish loch) and it's simple. Chemistry is /xemja/, machine is /maxina/, more or less.
In Spanish and Portuguese speaking contexts especially, “americana” won’t mean “related to the United States” but actually the whole of the American landmass, so illustrating with Uncle Sam is a bit off
What is more , for the most of us ,in central and southamerica we call America for the whole continent , you know Canada, Argentina, Ecuador , México, etc.,by the way I like your channel, I really like it, thanks for...
Also in the Netherlands, you can get 'filet americain' [American filet], which is a raw beef spread. - I've never yet tried it, but do intend to...some day.
In German a Amerikaner (American) is kinda like a black and white cookie you find in New York. Here they're typical during the carnival time in February/March.
although Japanese is generally comprised of consontant+vowel combinations, there is one lone consonant, the N! So rather than "amerikanu doggu", "amerikan doggu" would be how to say American dog. I love teaching Japanese people that "American dog" is actually "corn dog" in English. They are always so surprised. :)
So in Turkish, there's American Salad, consisting of mayonnaise, green peas and diced potatoes+havoc. Surprisingly it's also known as Russian Salad. Guess why :) Hint: Communism...
K, don't know if you're serious, but if you are... Coleslaw dressing has a mix of mayo, vinegar, salt, celery seed and sometimes sugar. It's like a creamy salad dressing if you consider that mayo is basically just emulsified egg and oil.
Excellent videos! One comment about Dutch (my language): we don’t say “Amerikaanse fuif”; we could say “potluck”, which, according to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potluck) has an etymology going back to indigenous North America. So, native American in a roundabout way.
This channel is still criminally underrated on RUclips.
Charges are pending. Hold fast.

i wonder whar happened!

Please come back! We miss you!
You forgot the most obvious one: "American Football" to distinguish it from regular football (soccer).
Or to distinguish it from Australian football if you live in Australia.
Or gaa
It's so sad this channel is dead :/ I studied Lingistics and I always loved Akira's content.
You missed that a bland tasteless watery coffee is an Americano in Italian.
O ye
Hahahahahha... Don’t worry, I’m American so I’m allowed to laugh at it.
In a lot of countries, cool ranch flavored doritos are named cool american
That is so strange about roller coasters. I always thaught they were Russian. Because in Spanish we call them montañas rusas.
Same in French
The concept of a roller coaster was originally a Russian idea. The roller coaster we know today was first built in France.
Also in Turkish : Amerikan Salatasi (American salad) : mayo with cooked carrots and peas.
Why aren't you uploading any vids?
I just discovered this channel and I love it! I want to subscribe, but the most recent video is more than 2 years old... : (
In Brazil we call place mat sets "jogo americano", literally "American set". Very similar to Italian.
In hebrew, soft-serve ice cream is called גלידה אמריקאית, glida amerika'it or American ice cream
Also, a multiple choice question is an American question
In Portuguese we call the "American fist" an "English fist"

It's known as this in English and Spanish, too, so I'd assume it's that way in other languages.
Same in Turkish, "Amerikan plan" for that angle.
Such a great channel
Miss this channel :(
In France, at least with drinks, anything large is called "American".
The quintessential RUclips story, so much hard work on production and content but no reward so they eventually gave up.
If this is the story, that's really sad :( Please come back!
Hi Arika
Could you please make a video about the different ways of pronouncing the phoneme "ch" ?

"tsh" in children? Where are you from? It's ch in children.

@@kacperwoch4368 yeah, but that's your language & the original comment was talking about the English language 😉

If it's American, we illustrate it with Uncle Sam, that's how America works
In the Netherlands they call ridiculous politics American affairs (Amerikaanse toestanden). It is not just since Trump, the expression is much older.

In Brazil we also call an American party one where you bing your own dish.

Idea for next video: What causes a lisp?

In Hebrew, an American test is a multiple-choice test. And American ice cream is soft-serve ice cream.
Hilarious 😂

I seem to remember that Cool Ranch Doritos were called something like American Doritos. As Ranch flavoring is an unique word for food.
I’ve heard of American Parties where you wear Yankees hats and drink from the infamous red solo cups
Also I’ve never been the first comment before. I’d like to thank the academy, my parents, this channel, and all my fans. ♥️
Lol 😂
I’m American and this is kinda true, but other baseball teams exist other than the Yankees 😂😂
Replace the yankee hat with whatever your local team is, and you’ve got it
In the Philippines, the suit or coat is called Amercana.
In Russia we also have a pipe connector that is called Americanca. :)

In some countries in Europe I've been to they have "American" coffee. As I'm neither European or American, this always confuses me.
In Hebrew a multiple choice question is an American question
help me understand u.s.a education system plz
It bothers me that the USA is called America, because America is all of North and South America... it's all America... but i do understand why it is.

0:54 lemme guess: mayo is american salad sauce? (sounds a lil gross tbh, just plain mayo)
