Don't worry, his pronunciation of Rio de Janeiro is completaly wrong
😂😂🤣
depends on the accent
@@megaboy767 not really though, I don't think there is an accent in Brazil that would pronounce Rio De Janeiro as Rio Je Janeiro lol
@@arthries come on they dont have our "De" sound it was close enough 🤣
I think he was triyng to go for a "di" sound, like we do in São Paulo but missed the mark a bit
Explaining some points in the video:
1) The Germans started arriving in Brazil in 1824, mainly because the Austrian born Empress of Brazil, Leopoldina Hapsburg who started sponsoring immigration from german speaking areas of Europe to Brazil.
BTW and that is about a hundred and twenty years before any nazis had fled to South America.
2) The Japanese started arriving in Brazil in the late 19th century, mainly to replace slaves on coffee plantations and at one point the Japanese immigration to Brazil was so big, that they enacted laws to restrict the immigration.
3) Brazil has also the largest population of Lebanese outside Lebanon.
4) Another curious information about immigration to Brazil, is that the country has a state, Paraná, in which there's a very large population of Ukrainians, Poles and Russians.
5) Italians are the largest immigrant group in the country, with nearly 30 million people. And the people from São Paulo state speak with an Italian accent.
Lençóis Maranhenses are not a desert. You are correct in that.
It's the largest concentration of sand dune in a non desert environment in the world, however
Tectonic plates were only discovered in the 60s
Also, if you go by tectonic plates, Japan and Eastern Russia are part of North America, Europe and Asia are a single continent and Arábia and India are NOT part of Asia.
Continents are historical and political definitions (as I said continental plates were discovered in the 60s) and all romance countries, including in Europe, have a 5 continents model where America is a single continent divided into 2 or 3 sub continents.
That's why the Olympic logo has 5 rings for each inhabited continent, a single ring for America
Even before the war Brazil had friendship with Japan, during our imperial times, we made treaties with them. I remember when i was in schhool (in the 90's) we were comemorating 100 years friendship with Japan.
5:21 - The worst part of saying like a American is not the D (It is palatized in Brazilian Portuguese em in the end of a word), in some regional variants or in European Portuguese could even be the correct pronunciation but the R in Rio is allways mispronounced, R in Portuguese has the sound of H in English (in this case It actually can have up to 6 sounds), and J has the sound of J in French (nothing like Spanish)
10:11 - Simple, it's not a desert, it's just white sand dunes (mostly quartz) on top of rocks layer, during the rainy season the rock layer under the sand does not allow water to penetrate deeper into the soil and water accumulates between the dunes.
And also in Portuguese "nh" has the same sound as "gn" in Italian.
The german immigration towards Brazil was way bigger than toward Argentina (and in general started way earlier than 1939).
Yeah. Most of my family came to Brazil in the 19th century.
WW 2
Brought Germans,polish, and some Italian immigrants to Brazil, they had to escape from their homeland due to war.
@@ordemeprogresso727 I know, but most of them came before ww2. Especially the Italians and Germans.
That's why most part of Argentina is racist, now that makes sense
@@ordemeprogresso727 Wrong, you dont know basic history.
90% of them came between 1850- 1880.
“HEE-u jee zhuh-NEY-ru” is the most accurate pronunciation for Río de Janeiro.
Paul has described Portuguese as “Spanish being spoken by drunk Russians”
It is HEE-u jee ja-NEY-ru
And "Rio" doesn't have a "`" on the i
@@alt1f4 Good call on the orthography.
That said, for the phonology, The first syllable of Janeiro in standard Brazilian Portuguese is [ʒɐ] in the International Phonetic Alphabet. When trying to somehow convey those sounds to a non-linguist English speaker, “zh” is better to distinguish it from “j ([dʒ])”which is the sound in the BR Portuguese “de” but finding a way to represent lax neutral vowels like /ɐ/ is notoriously difficult. In English “uh” can be pronounced /ʌ/, which is the closest we have to /ɐ/.
@@alt1f4 Não tem o í porque o (`) é o acento da crase, é o acento grave! À casa. Não é igual a:E aí,é feliz.
What the guy say about the deforestation in Amazonia is completely wrong. The destruction of the forest is not about our consumption (we don't even use that much wood in our daily life or houses), it has to do with wood exportation. Illegal, mainly. And part of it for cattle raising.
Exactly, and there's no effective farming in the Amazon reagiion for two reasons: 1- it's illegal; 2- the soil turns to sand after you take the trees away, so no effective at all to farming. It's way more proffitable keeping the amazon forest whole and having the seasonal rain that it provides for the cerrado region, where most of the farming takes place
O brasileiro de apartamento que acha que somente pasto que se faz carne bovina, meu amigo ja ouvi falar de confinamento além disso a produção de carne demanda cada vez menos de espaço.
@@paulolopes4602 cara, nos comentários deles está claro que eles entendem que o que tem gerado o desmatamento é a exportação ilegal dessas madeiras. No comentário do 'Ayon' fica claro que ele entende que para os pecuaristas não é interessante que a Amazônia seja desmatada, pois dela surgem as chuvas que trazem vida aos pastos nos cerrados. Assim como entende que para a agricultura também não é interessante, já que após o desmatamento o solo se torna arenoso, deixando de ser altamente produtivo.
@@Thaynedebortolli peço desculpa se ficou entendido que eu estava debatendo com o cara acima Mas não é isso, eu deixei esse comentário em português para os brasileiros que vierem aqui e falarem contra agricultura e a produtividade e a potência alimentícia que o Brasil é entendeu o que não é o seu caso e nem a outro pessoa em questão, falo isso para que os brasileiros assim como você entendam cada vez mais sobre aquilo que sabemos fazer de melhor que é produzir alimento e parabéns pelo conhecimento é exatamente isso que eu penso.
@@paulolopes4602 ah, a minha interpretação que foi errônea então, perdão!
É bom mesmo que isso fique de aviso, tem muita gente que demoniza a pecuária e a agricultura como os grandes vilões. Aqui no Mato Grosso com a implantação de várias tecnologias nas áreas de plantio é possível produzir várias vezes mais sem precisar desmatar mais nada. Claro que ainda acontecem algumas derrubadas, mas isso já é outro papo. Seria ótimo que todos pudessem conhecer essas realidades, né?
12:15 this video is a few years old, Brazil now has 214 million.
The primary reason Brasil has such a high Japanese population, if I remember correctly, is that Brasil had a massive economic boom post ww2, especially in logging, and thousands of Japanese people left Japan to seek jobs in other nations after the devastation of WW2.
It’s just random that they went to Brazil… Like why?
I know a number of them went to Peru as well which makes more sense to me since it’s on the West Coast of South America (Peru even had a former president who was the son of Japanese immigrants)
@@coyotelong4349 Não é aleatório. O governo brasileiro fez propagandas no próprio Japão incentivando a imigração.
@@coyotelong4349 We have contact with Japan since the great navigations through Portugal, the first Japanese dictionary was, Japanese to Portuguese, many Japanese words derive from Portuguese, for example "Arigato" = thank you = "Obrigado", "Igirisu" = English = "Inglês", "ombu" = shoulder = "ombro", "oranda" = Netherland = "Holanda", "shabon" = soap = "sabão", "pan" = bread = "pão" another thousand words have speech the same or similar because of contact with Portuguese.The Brazilian government made propaganda in Japan to bring in more labor, when slavery was abolished.
It was actually before the WWII
Yes and no. We already had second generation japanese immigrants by the time ww2 started. Brazil had huge masses of immigrants in the start of the 20th century, mainly due to a "whitening" policy that incentivated migration, which attracted Italian, Dutch, German, Polish, Russians and more. After this first wave, there were a second one that included tons of japanese people, besides the ones cited above. And then, more japanese people came after ww2
German imigration to Brazil started in 1824, and was stimulated by emperor Don Pedro II in the end of the XIX century. It is not a Second World War consequence. Also, japanese came to Brazil, as italians, to replace slave labor during the 1890s-1920s.
so many famous Brazilian soccer players and he picked one who is portuguese lol
Nice video bro,greeatings from Brodowski/São Paulo-Brazil
NO ONE IS CUTTING TREES IN THE AMAZON TO USE THE SOIL FOR AGRICULTURE!!!!!!!!!!
We use other parts of the country for that, so we don't need to cut any trees...
anyone who says otherwise is lying to you
No one? Really?? "Deixar passar a boiada"? Have you ever heard of 'grilagem de terra'? I'd say people are tearing down the rain forest not ONLY for agriculture, but also for pecuary, gold mining and other predatory practices. Plus, agriculture (and such) in Brazil don't distroy ONLY the rain forest, but also other biomes, like CERRADO and MATA ATLÂNTICA.
Nice reaction! Geography Now has another video with the states of Brazil, you should check it out.
The S of BRICS stands for South Africa.
The massive immigration of Japanese, Germans and Italians started after the slavery was abolished in 1888 being part of a plan to bring more work force and also to whiten the population, so mixed race marriages were promoted by the goverment. And yes, after the fall of the Nazi regime there were a couple of Nazi who flew from Germany to Argentina and South Brazil.
About the pronounciation of Rio de Janeiro, actually both ways are right, it depends on the accent of Brazilian Portuguese, most accents will pronouce as Rio "jee" Janeiro, but some (mine included) pronounce as Rio "de" Janeiro. But the catch is that "Rio" is pronouced different, instead of a strong R, it's pronounced as a H "Hio" de Janeiro, I believe there's only one exception, and it's the accent on the borders of Spanish speaking countries, they will use the spanish R to pronounce it.
Essa teoria de enbranquecer é a maior babaquice já inventada, a Europa e a Ásia especificamente o Japão não eram esses paraísos de hoje , o Brasil sempre foi a terra das oportunidades abraçou os imigrantes e mais do que isto ao contrario dos norte Americanos nós coabitamos misturamos nossas raças pois é cultural de nós, tanto é que não havia uma lei após a escravidão que proibia brancos e negros e indígenas de se casarem. Já os EUA tinha leis como essas até 1970. nós não somos vira-latas aprendam a se impor como brasileiros.
🇧🇷➡Y love Brazilian America.
Germans and italians came to Brazil way before WW2 ends, like almost a century before.
The videos get longer later on once he has more people in his crew with their own segments.
13:00 well, in summary, in the past Brazil had little labor and Japan had a very large population, so Japan sent thousands of Japanese to Brazil.
Happy New Year fam
Hey nice reaction 👏👏 good job I really enjoyed it! And he was also saying "Rio de Janeiro" wrong so don't worry 😂 The japanese immigration happened mainly because Brasil need workers and Japan needed to ease social tension in they country, actually it is really interesting all this history yesterday in my neighborhood was happening a German+ Japanese festival named "Coloniafest"
One fun fact about the stars in the brazilian flag. Now that you know that each star represents one state, notice that there's only one star above the banner, that star represents the state of Roraima, the only brazilian state that is above the equator
8:38 that was a wrong point since the start of this discussion. brazil is huge, we have enough resources for ourselves, we are fucking up the amazon to get shit to billionaires export.
I don't know where Barby got the information that we deal with the Americas as one continent. We do call it the Americas (plural) just to simplify it, but at least in Brazil we consider them as 3 distinct continents: North, Central and South America
mas é considerado um único continente mesmo com três regiões divididas de acordo com o criterio geopolitico
Wrong! Here, America is in fact one entire continent with 3 subdivisions (South, Central and North), the same way other continents have subdivisions like South East Asia, North Africa or Eastern Europe.
His take on the deforastation is mostly wrong. It steems from the fact that Brazil insists on beeing a third world comodity exporter even though it has the potential to diversify its econommy. It has little to do with population growth and more to do with the need for more land to export stuff overseas, especially meat and soy to China but not only that. That has very little return to the population in general other than balancing the country's economy a little since we don't develop our industrial sector and import everything remotely sofisticated. There is also the problem that the most powerfull political figures in Brazil since forever have been land owners and the agro lobby and they do everything they can to curse this country to the dark ages forever.
The reason for the short vídeo is that his original idea was making 8 minute videos about every country, but he gave up on it later. Brazil is letter B so it was still on those times
I think most Brazilians like myself would get much angrier if you pronounce "Rio de Haneiro" than how you say the de, as even in Brazil that changes according to regional accents. J having the english H sound is only for Spanish. In Portuguese the J sound is much more similar to English.
Don't worry, he pronounciated the islands and rio de janeiro completely wrong.
And also, the "bolacha" isn't spelled bolatcha, it's more like "xa".
The pronounciation of "Rio de Janeiro" as you say is not wrong. It's just a matter of accent. The majority of accents in Brazil say Rio "Jee" Janeiro (only when the letter "E" sounds like "ee" in english), but some accents say the letter "D" as you say. It's not wrong, it's just how most of the people say the word in Brazil. Plus, we are more exposed to English and Spanish languages, so when we hear different pronounciations of the words, it doesn't sound wrong, we get it as a different accent. Like when he says "bolacha", he pronounces the "ch" with a spanish accent (like in the Spanish word "muchacho"), but we say this word like the "sh" in English "shark". But he says "bolatcha" and I know what he is saying, so it's not a problem. Even more because people from other countries are not exposed to Portuguese language, or how it sounds. In such a way, some people who speak Spanish, they understand some portuguese when they read, but they think it's not that easy when they listen to it, because the sounds are different.
The correct Rio de Janeiro prononciation is like: Hiu jee Janeyro (J doesn't have a way to pronounce in english, and the R sound like the spanish one)
BRICS - you forgot South Africa
16:34 im from minas gerais, we normaly say bolacha but i Biscoito ta na embalagem escrito Biscoito
Damn Ryan that is actually ign0rant and hurtful.
About 600 THOUSAND Germans went down here decades prior to the FIRST world war.
Unbelievable...🙄
The pronunciation of Rio de Janeiro is actually hue jee jhaneyroo
The pronouncing of the DE in Rio de Janeiro is up to regional accents.
There are places that pronounce the DE like you did.
And most interesting is the fact that unlike English, Portuguese has a pronunciation that is considered correct even if there are variations in colloquial speech.
Ask a Brazilian to speak a sentence SLOWLY and most likely he will pronounce several syllables differently than he would do while speaking normally.
In colloquial speech he will pronounce "de" as dji but ask him to say the name of the letter D, which is written "de" (same as "de" in a sentence which means of) and he will pronounce it as "de" not dji
Nice analysis. It is important to point , however, that the Amazon is not being defforested because the country is developing nor because it is feading the planet. In reality, 1% of Brazillians owns 90% of the land area, being the most concentrated ownership on the planet... and most of the Amazon farms are used for future land value. First they defforest for a low cost, then the "clean" land will have a value increase of over 400% in a few years, making the one of the fastest growing valuation there is. Regarding the crops, the soy production is wasted since over 60% is used to be burnt on biofules, that on reality are not that clean since they alter less than 5% the fossil fuel composition... its another money making scheme. What is left is either used for feeding the cattle (that is the main reason for defforestation).... and the lesser part is exported to China. Reggarding the cattle itself, most of the lands they fill with cows so they proove to the local government that the land is being used, orelse they could confiscate it for being imporoductive. And cattle as an asset is also a very fast-growing investmet... A good part of the Brazillian population is not consuming meat because of its exportation price. These are just some of the reasons that the forrest is is not really being diminushed to develop the country nor the world. The country (and the world) could gain much more with sustainable developlments and scientific research.
The close you can get is: He-yo D Djahnero... He got that pronunciation wrong too! lol dont worry, portuguese is a nasal language, take years to non native speakers learn how to buy PÃO DE QUEIJO HAHAHA
Howdy I'm Brazilian from Ceará.
I believe he went too fast on a lot of parts, particularly on the northeast region. He didn't even mention the caatinga biome that is 100% Brazilian (I recommend you take a look at the northeast, it has got a lot of cool history. Luiz Gonzaga, the cangaço and the Dutch invasion might be good starting points)
Also, in the beginning of Brazilian industrialization, the government encouraged immigration from countries like Germany, Italy, Japan... That explains why there is so many Japanese around here, mostly in the southern region (that's an oversimplification of course, but it's this is one of the most influential factors)
it's "de" janeiro, not jay
i have no idea why he came to that conclusion lol
I think he should redo some of the first countries he made. Like for exapmple Brazil ... Let's see :)
who cares about tectonic plates? as you said it yourself, if that was taken as a condition for a continent, europe wouldn't exist as a separate one
Most of Brazil population lived in an expecific part of the country, but the three Southern states were lacking population comparing to the other regions. After the end of the enslaved people's trade in the late 1800's, the country needed cheap working hand, thus foreigners were encouraged to move to Brazil by the government to supply working force and to whitening the country.
A lot of Germans, Italians and even Portuguese people moved to Brazil at the time and went to live in the Southern states, where they were given land to work and populate the area.
At the time, Brazil's government had a trade deal with Japan, who as facing a demographic problem, so a lot of Japanese people moved to Brazil in the early 1900's to try to live a better life here. Most of them stayed in area of the State of São Paulo, were they worked in the farms and coffee plantations.
The Italians, Germans, Japanese and their descendants that have had been living here for decades suffered oppression during WW2, since Brazil was on the Allied side.
14:13 900 thousand people, about 0,5% of the population of the country (or a medium size city), own, by law, 13% of the country, or roughly 330 thousand square feet, which is almost the size of the country of Venezuela... just for a little short of 900.00 tribespeople.... so, if anyone dare to say that the natives in Brazil are out of land, they are lying to you
Rio de Janeiro, depends on the accent.
I don't agree completely about "inventing Pardo", because I believe there is something similar in South Africa with the "Coloured" people. Just finished Trevor Noah's book, and I think his situation is very similar to pardo people in Brasil, not black nor white (although in the census pardo is a subgenre of black now).
And Japonese immigration is just any other immigration. Just like the Chinese in US there was a lot of opportunity to work, and buy lands at the country (somethings not even buy, there were a lot of land that was given because nobody - Brazilians - wanted to go deep on the country).
That's the second video I see some Historian or geographer reacts to this and say same thing about a lot of Germans in south of Brasil (close to Argentina) hahahahah
that's not a fair point. There's absolutely no necessity of further deforestation for the increase of production. This video is very very very poor.
He got two regions wrong. Its South, South East, North, North East and Central West....
It's easy to say "Rio de Janeiro", just say the first half of "dick" so "Rio di Janeiro" 😀👌🏻
I also recommend watching the reports of Hans Staden, a German captured by cannibals in Brazil by voice of the past channel.
Ou falar simplesmente the.
It's okay to say 'de' the way he said too, it's the way some Brazilians say it anyway. Brazil is huge and have lots of differents accents
❤️🇧🇷
5:08 That's not even the correct pronunciation. The only thing he changed was the way of saying "de", which wasn't even right. The Spanish pronunciation was way closer to the Brazilian one than his one.
I just wanna say it is bolacha, bolacha is the name to the industrial ones and biscoito is the name to the made home cookies if you don't agree you wrong let's fight 😌 😂😂
Rio "Djay" janeiro? ROTFL
It's more like "Djee" or "Dee" than "djay", depending on the region you're from.
People from portugal tend to pronounce it as "Rio D'Janeiro"
Why are you so awesome?
It was just 1 continent, but after US conected the 2 oceans, in Panama, it became 2.
No, it's not because of that. The UK is still Europe despite being an island. 😉 Continent is an abstract concept.
Biscoito Country
That video has a LOT of mistakes... Just one: Rio de Janeiro is spelled " Hio de Janeiro" not "je janeiro" and R in portuguese is pronounced like english "H".
It's like Hio g janeiro
meu deus eu estou horrorizada com o carinha de verde ele falando do povo do "north" como "we are so black" e eu sem entender que ele tava falando do nordeste!!!!
Y'all know Cristiano Ronaldo is Portuguese right?
just 2 words... really?? you can´t do it ?? my gosh
Só o Ronaldo que mostra aí no vídeo, é de Portugal, não é Brasileiro.
nossa, mas esse cara falou muita merda. Q pena
