I’ve been listening to so much Romanian music recently and I thought it couldn’t possibly be just because of his accent lol I really need to just learn Romanian
yeah honestly as someone who only speaks english and listens to music in several other languages i mistake a lot of foreign songs for being in a different language because of the style of the song
I think the music background helps him understand and hear the cadence, tone, and rhythm of languages, and he also knows basic phrases from it. Polyglots are often region-specialized, and if they’re not, they’re more focused on vocabulary and trying to understand the person and figure out how to communicate with them. They’re generally good at hearing different language families and conversing with new languages, but the specific guesses aren’t as strong because that’s not how their brains are wired
The power of immersion :) And I get it. Granted my immersion exposure is not as wide as his, I experience the same kind of “I know what that sounds like” between my exposures to Japanese, Korean, some standard Chinese and a little of Thai.
the guy who spoke Romanian has definitely learnt it as a second language. he probably left Romania as a small kid, or his family had moved before he was born even. He doesn't sound like a native speaker , so it seems like an unfair task for Matthew
If there would have been a price it would be unfair. But in this setup i feel it‘s refreshing for the content. Especially for their algorythm as everybody is talking about it in the comments😁
It was slightly annoying, I'm Romanian and the first two sentences i couldn't tell he was Romanian, i realized it when the subtitles said something about onion (ceapa matii :D) You can understand what he is saying once you know what language he's speaking, but he's mispronouncing vowels so bad, it doesn't sound like Romanian.

Not only a good guesser makes me feel better about humanity that someone cares enough to invest so much time in cultures and languages as a study and educational passion.
I'm dyslexic but I try my best to learn every language I interact with.

I totally get why he didnt understand romanian, cause he has a different accent. even i who was born and raised in Romania couldnt understand him at first.

The fact that he’s wearing T-shirt with Georgian alphabet on it and there’s no Georgian participant …😅 thank you for bringing that little bit of my country with you 🥹🇬🇪
So it is Georgian! I have some Georgian friends, and I thought that his shirt had the Georgian alphabet, but I wasn’t sure, thank you for clearing that up!
When I was deployed in Afghanistan I worked with Georgians. Some of the coolest people with such a beautiful language! Their handwriting was amazing. I hope that next time your country is featured. 🌸
I spent some months in Georgia as a teenager. One of the most beautiful languages and cultures I’ve ever experienced. It’s been nearly 20 years and I still dream of Adjarian khachapuri!
13:55 well actually he guessed it right because Dari is not a distinct language but just a dialect of Farsi(Persian),smililar to Tajiki,another persian dialect which is widely spoken in Tajikistan.
Yeah and I couldn't understand fully her, so I think she's Pashtun, that's why she doesn't know because all Tajikis, Nuristanis, Hazaras and Balochis know that Dari = Farsi-ye Dari. They also know about the Greater Iran, the historical region.
@@Oli-lk1gpShe is herati they have a different accent I also couldn’t fully understand her because of some words. Their accent sounds a bit more Persian than the common accent
@@XsarahX1 but most Herati, Tajikis, Nuristanis and Hazaras do know about Dari being Farsi no ? Maybe it's just the people I talk to. But I was under the impression that most did know.
@@Oli-lk1gp Ok and? I’m pretty sure she knows, she probably just wanted him to guess it exactly as Dari. And even if she didn’t know it’s not really a big deal plus she said she didn’t grow up in Afghanistan she’s American so..
The Romanian speaker they brought in had such a thick American accent, it's unsurprising Matthew couldn't guess it, so I wish he wasn't that hard on himself for it. I don't think anyone who grows up speaking Romanian from an early age, even if outside of Romania, has that kind of accent. P.S.: fun fact, the "numa numa" song is in Romanian, but the guys who sing it are from the Republic of Moldova. It's our neighboring country in the east and we share the same language.
i really liked the guy speaking burmese (sorry if i spelled it wrong) he seemed so sweet and i love how he was telling matthew all of these little snippets about his life !!
Matthew seems like such a smart and clever person, so cool to see him guess. Whenever I watch a video like this I see that there is some good and kindness left in the world. Keep it going Cut!
Matthew makes me feel proud to be neurodivergent. It is so entertaining and insightful to listen to him explain the connections he is making in his mind. Such fun and wholesome videos to watch!
MORE MATTHEW PLEASE! Super interesting because he's a music nerd first.... I'd love to hear him listen to bands that have an ethnic style also and guess folks off that.
i like when he determine indonesian and Malaysian bahasa using 8, as a person who born and raised in indo but studied 4 years in malay, i never thought about that lmao
I would loooove to see a Belarusian speaker in the lineup series! Our language is endangered and not many Belarusians speak it well unfortunately which is the fault of oppression and dictatorship. I hope one day my beautiful Belarus will be free ❤ Жыве Беларусь!
I'm surprised you know of us! But few of us speak a Sámi language fluently, some of them are gone now. There are 15-20 Ume Sámi speakers left (us), about the same for Pite Sámi, Ter Sámi has lost all its speakers I believe. There were 2 but I think they recently died. Most Sámi languages have a couple hundred remaining speakers, and only two Sámi languages have over 1,000 speakers remaining. There are some people trying to restore the languages but smaller Uralic languages have poor documentation so learning on your own from limited resources is very difficult. There is also the pressure of forsvenskning (forcibly making everything more "Swedish") and whatever it is called outside Sweden that has unfortunately very successfully eliminated a lot of access between Sámi and their original culture/language/land. I would also love to see a Sámi language featured here! I would not be shocked if it didn't happen though.
You really should do more of these and bring Matthew back for all of them. Like do them regularly. Like once a month at least. Lol. Also, Romanian dude was hot af. But not sure how Matthew didn't think about that one. I know the accent was botched but it's one of the few languages in the world influenced by Latin but also maintained it's own spin to it.
I was very proud of myself for recognizing a few of these My boy from back in the day spoke Romanian with a thick American accent, so I actually recognized that one pretty quickly
"You did your homework"
"Well I GAVE the homework"
The hardest fucking line ever spoken
it really was
I love that this guy guesses languages so well that when he gets one wrong, it's actually the language speakers fault.
Yeah sorry what the fuck was that Romanian? Dude cleanly used Google translate in his way to the shoot imo
I don't blame Matthew for not guessing romanian. As a native speaker, he had such a thick english accent that I couldn't even recognize it at first
He said it himself, his accent is americanized

Funny. I’m portuguese and I instantly thought it was romanian.

I’ve been listening to so much Romanian music recently and I thought it couldn’t possibly be just because of his accent lol
I really need to just learn Romanian
The fact that he's doing this based off music and that he's not a linguist, doesn't actually speak the language, is the craziest part for me.
yeah honestly as someone who only speaks english and listens to music in several other languages i mistake a lot of foreign songs for being in a different language because of the style of the song
That's why the American guy speaking Romanian threw him off. His accent was so strongly American you could hear it! That, and his flow was choppy.
Its almost like using maths and calculations instead of lingual aspect to pin point a location.
Has an 'ear' for it.
Art truly shows others not native to the tongue, the culture of one’s language
“well I gave the homework” atee
Right.. I was like he ate that so bad
The fact that he’s not a polyglot makes this even more impressive…
I think the music background helps him understand and hear the cadence, tone, and rhythm of languages, and he also knows basic phrases from it.

3:07 not matthew just understanding that he asked him why lmfao
I’ve never heard Romanian spoken but even I was picking up on his thick accent.
It sounded like a made up langauge, I was so confused when I heard it.
I’m glad we got to see the whole of Matthew’s attempts at guessing. Like the woman in the skirt said, it’s amazing to see the way his brain works!
Go Matthew! Truly a joy to watch. I love his openness and love of language. Can’t wait to see more of him!

I love that he technically got everyone right and was only wrong for very understandable reasons (like slang and non-native accents)...

...dude this is still insanely impressive
i love the questions he asks to get people speaking in the language! its so cute
Matthew is the reason I watch Cut. I enjoy lots of the videos, but if Matthew is in them, they win by a landslide.
Love Matthew he need to be a regular for this series
❤
This guy had proved he is good at guessing. Let’s see how he does this time.
Watching him guess is so wholesome and i love it! Bring him back PLEASE!!!
I love every video with Matthew in it. Languages are so fascinating to me and he's just the coolest person I've ever seen.
There's something so beautiful and wholesome about this video
gosh, I love it, bring him back more for the languages guessing
Dang it, I was hoping this was a new vid 😭 love watching Matthew analyze the languages and reacting like 😱😂
This needs to be an entire series you make.
This is so wholesome. i love seeing people get so excited when he narrows it down.
This guy is chillest most down to earth guy ever. What a great guy!

I just love that his love of music has given him so much knowledge of languages. These are so amazingly interesting!
I want to see Matt's do this again so badly. I really want someone who speaks Welsh on here for him to try and guess.

He's dancing with the singing of the woman from Lao. 😭
Daamn thme moment i saw Georgian language on his shirt i was like hes good at this😂😂
Justice for Matthew’s mom’s onion
Clutched my pearls when he said that 😂

the romanian guy does not sound like a romanian at all. As a romanian i didn't understand much, the CC helped lmao

Always love seeing Matthew in Cut's videos 😃 please invite him more often
Bring Matthew back for more of these episodes! He’s a legend!
I don’t know if you know who this is, but Matt’s facial structure and voice makes him literally a white fractal161.
When he said Wenzhounese, lost my mind that anyone who isn’t Wenzhou knows about it.
I NEED to see Matthews Spotify wrapped
Matthew, you’re amazing. I still want to meet you for a favourite beverage, noisecancelling headphones and talk about languages all night.
The bunny song was so sweet!
Matthew is adorable
Dari / Parsi / Tajiki are all Persian. So either way he got it right with her.
This guy is extremely impressive
Re-uploaded?
Full video vs compilation of different guessers.
the smiles of getting recognition are best
The Romanian is the most Americanized language I've ever heard lmao
God i'd love to be like him. Learning language and different culture just makes me nervous cause im so easily embarrassed and socially anxious.
I love watching him, he’s so fascinating!!!
I was so excited when the Lao lady came on!! I was thinking how cool it’s be if there were someone from Laos
11:21 I feel like that song unlocked memories 😂
I love the fact that he's wearing a shirt with my mother language.
This guy and geo guesser guy can probably make a super team to locate anyone via map or hearing a conversation lol.
I mean... I can see why he was an international music teacher. Brooo I want to know more of what he studies and teaches 😅
15:01 the way they look at the camera 😭
I need more Matthew! And I want languages from the philippines :>
We love Matthew!❤
I am so old. How does he not know the numa numa song?!?!? Kids these days need to learn the classic viral videos
I love that I'm on may way to be like him. Language is so cool and so fun when you can see the connections between different languages
Best example of what happens when you listen, read and comunicate. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
