      Гэта было як музыка ў маіх вушах.
      Это было как музыка для моих ушей.
      Це було як музика у моїх вухах.
      Pro mé uši to bylo jako hudba.
      Pre moje uši to bolo ako hudba.
      To było jak muzyka dla moich uszu.
      對於我的耳朵來說,(不同語言的聲音)就像音樂。
      Het klonk als muziek in mijn oren.
      Dit was soos musiek in my ore.
      Ήταν σαν μουσική στα αυτιά μου.
      यह मेरे कानों को संगीत की तरह था।
      यो मेरो कानमा संगीत जस्तै थियो।
      มันเหมือนกับเสียงเพลงที่อยู่ในหูของผม
      ມັນຄ້າຍຄືເພງໃນຫູຂອງຂ້ອຍ.
      Nó giống như âm nhạc với tai tôi vậy.
      Kwakungathi umculo ezindlebeni zami.
      كان مثل الموسيقى لأذني

  • @yorgunsamuray
    @yorgunsamuray 3 года назад +1

    Absolutely genius idea for making the switches in the one similar word. One nitpicking of a Turkish native speaker here on the captions of the video, if you don't mind...."internette" is "on the internet" in Turkish, -te (along with -ta, -da and -de according to the vowel harmony) being the locative case suffix. The nominative form is "İnternet" (with dotted capital i). Except for a little bit of an accent, the Turkish is flawless. Yet again the accent is not too big of a deal if it's understandable, unless you are a secret agent of course.

    This is inbelievable. It sounds like a poem, switching so smoothly from one language into another. I wonder whether it was suitable to start off my comment with English. You realize that any other language would have suited the same way. And these weren't just empty catch phrases. The whole poem was so wonderfully filled up with human wisdom and profound knowledge.

    Ricard Simcott has a beautiful mind. His Russian is quite understandable. He even prounounces sound Ы (yery) correctly, but there is a little accent and word order in sentences as it was translated from an analytic language.

  • @eosprodromos3803
    @eosprodromos3803 3 года назад

    In croatian "razumjeti tuđu kulturu" and not "razumeti drugu kulturu"
    It sounds a bit off, closer to saying understanding second/other culture than understanding foreign culture
    I don't mind the ekavica since many dialects use it(razumeti, razumjeti), but you said ludi and not ljudi and you can't exclude the j from everything. L and j produce their own sound similar to ñ
    The ch in moguće is pronounced hard, as in every other word with ć. Nobody says soft ch(not even anchors speaking as standardly as possible). Croatian is similar to norwegian in that way. Standard Croatian should be written but def not spoken. A foreigner would get a pass, but a native speaker would be thought of as artificial and pompous
    Apologies for correcting you, I feel extremely happy I got to hear my
    mother tongue. I'm assuming you are near native at it already

      In your sentence you can use "pensando que estoy loco" or "pensando que soy un loco", but "ser loco" sounds weird. It's one of the rare instances where "ser " does not really work.

    • @johnguzmandiaz
      @johnguzmandiaz 3 года назад +4

      I think that the subtitles are wrong. He said: "Soy loco con todos mis idiomas", with which he meant "I'm crazy about all my languages" instead of "... With all my languages". As a matter of fact, there's a song by Shakira (Loca) which uses this "Soy local con" and it makes perfect sense to me, as a Dominican Spanish speaker.
