Wow, while i was watching the video, i was thinking "man, what was the pig noise in Turkish, why i can't remember" and it drove me crazy. Then this video said "there is no pig sound in Turkish", and i realize and said "really, that's right. Why i wouldn't noticed is before" Thank you for that beautiful informations and make me aware.
I actually wondered about this way back when I started learning chinese and the word for cat sounds like a cat sound and I wondered how different languages expressed animal sounds, so thanks for the video!
I would love it if you could do one on "Why people's names are different" in different countries. It drives me nuts having to explain that to monolingual Americans a lot. It's very similar to this episode and the "Why there are different names for Germany". It also comes into what sounds your language permits you to have, and as they were translating the Bible and spreading Christian names throughout Europe, they tended to evolve a local flare easy to pronounce in local languages. But people STILL don't seem to get it and can't understand that Thomas - Tomasz, Tamas, Tomáš, etc. or John, Jan, Ivan, Johann, Janusz are all equivalents of the same name. Basically most uneducated, isolated villagers who never traveled more than 30km from their birthplace couldn't speak Greek/Hebrew during the Dark Ages lol
In danish we do not have a word for the sound "neigh". Vrinsk is the action. We do however have a word for the sound of their heavy outburst of air: "Pru" or "Pruh". But here we do not have a word for the action. And for dogs we mainly say that dogs say "Vov". But to get closer to denoting the pitch we sometimes use: "Vov" (Low pitch) , Vuf (Medium pitch) and "Vif" (High pitch). and mostly we do spell the cats sound "Miav"
interestingly seemingly all european languages converged on some form of Kikeriki for a rooster, and then there is english.. cock a doodel doo doesnt even sound close lol
Danish has the best rooster I've heard so far. Not all our animal sounds are good, but we _nailed_ the rooster. The danish "y" is perfect for it. It's similar in sound to ü.
In kurdish in addition to the sound's name; there is a verb for every pet's sound. for example: in english dog barks and in kurdish dog "aware". some of this verbs are: for horse ahilne cow aqorne sheep aqarne goat aqalne cat amiawne dog aware chicken ajroukne rooster aqouqne snake akifne,afishne man aqerne woman aqizhne child azerne donkey asarne boar ashakhne even lion anarne and etc
Most of the animal sounds have verbs in Swedish as well. Horse: Gnägga Sheep/Goats: Bräka Cow: Råma Dog: Skälla Cat: Jama Rooster: Gala Snake: Väsa Donkey: Skria Boar: Grymta Lion: Ryta
Makes sense as pigs are not going to be farm animals in a Muslim country. They might have wild boar but I don't think there are sounds associated with them.
But what sounds do ferrets make in different languages? I only know "dook" in English and "mok" in Dutch. And what sounds do otters make in different languages?
In spanish : Cat: ¡ miau! Dog : ¡ guau! Duck : ¡ cua , cua ! Hen : ¡ co, co , co ! Rooster : ¡ kikirikiiii! Cow : ¡muuuuuu! Chicken : ¡ pío, pío ! Pig : usually use the english ¡ oink ¡ when it is writen . Horse : ¡ Hiiiiiii!
Italian Cat: Miao Dog: Bau, Wof, Grrr Duck: Quack, Quack Hen: coccodè, coco co co coco Cow: Muuu Little chicken: pio pio Rooster: Chicchirichì Pig: Oink Horse: hihihihi Snake: Sssssss Mouse: Squit, squit So pretty similar
But, in American English, many animals make a variety of sounds. For example, the dog might say, “Bark! Bark!” or “Woof! Woof!” or “Ruff! Ruff!” or “Yap! Yap!” for a small happy dog, or “Grrrr! Grrr!” or “Howl”, etc. Is this true in other languages?
I belived that my cat understood spanish and english and I do notice back in Colombia that they do make diferents sounds .Sad to thing that some people think that animals are nothing, they are very smart and deserved love just liked us humans.
The first time I heard someone who speaks other languag using a word "imitating" an animal sounds I just got so confuse 'cause I didn't understand why it's different 'cause animals make the same sounds everywhere, and actually i just realized I've had never see or hear the sounds of the animals even in English, only in spanish 'cause it's my native language
Russians don't say "kyaf kyaf" when they imitate a small dog's bark. They do seldom say "tyaf tyaf" - but I would say that is relatively uncommon and "gav gav" is used a lot more often. Also the "nyam nyam" that Italians say for good food is applicable to Russians as well. P.S. I'm not Russian, but Russian is my native tongue as I was born in a post-Soviet country and my family speaks Russian. And no, we don't speak a local dialect of Russian (like German Swiss etc.), it's the same exact Russian that Russians speak
3:00 XD, kikiriki means peanuts in my language, Serbo-Croatian. And when the rooster said "chicchirichi" it sounded very different to a sound an animal should have made.
i live in croatia and on croatian cat goes mijau dog goes vau vau or vof vof pig goes oink oink cow goes muuu duck goes kvak kvak and rooster goes kukuriku
in arabic there are names and verbs for all animal sounds like the english *barking, to bark* instead of *wuf wuf* but for all animals even some insects
I don't understand how these foreign languages come up with such strange names for the sounds animals make... they don't sound like that, it sure would be cool if they did but they don't, it's very odd, language is weird
In Iceland the animals sound not so very difrent Like a meow from a cat:mjá You sey it like in english all the other animals some dont sound difrent Woof:voof Il be going goodbye or bless like we sey it
So cats are the only universally understood animal.
No
Fun fact! In Chinese a cat it a /mau/, and a meow is a /mjau/. This might be the closest you'll get to having a pokemon.
Wow, while i was watching the video, i was thinking "man, what was the pig noise in Turkish, why i can't remember" and it drove me crazy. Then this video said "there is no pig sound in Turkish", and i realize and said "really, that's right. Why i wouldn't noticed is before"
Thank you for that beautiful informations and make me aware.
Apparently there are no sufficiently recognisable landmarks in Denmark lol
Love how Italian "sounds" are just spelled different, or miss one letter fewer than in german.
But what does the fox say?
The fox is the god

lmao at the Russian rooster.
The accent should fall on the last syllable, so it's kukareKU, not kukaREku :)
Edgar Sandoval in my language rooster is a little bit diffrent in my language it goes kukuriku xD

It's not a jumbled mess of reasons.
It makes perfect sense.
HAHAHA!

nobody wore those red hats for almost 100 years in turkey
"Rap rap" and "Groin groin" are my favourite.
Didn't know the Italian roosters speak German ;-)
What could be more fun than animal sounds? Great distinction between imitating sounds and naming them!
Danish has the best rooster I've heard so far. Not all our animal sounds are good, but we _nailed_ the rooster. The danish "y" is perfect for it. It's similar in sound to ü.
In kurdish in addition to the sound's name; there is a verb for every pet's sound.
for example: in english dog barks and in kurdish dog "aware". some of this verbs are:
for horse ahilne
cow aqorne
sheep aqarne
goat aqalne
cat amiawne
dog aware
chicken ajroukne
rooster aqouqne
snake akifne,afishne
man aqerne
woman aqizhne
child azerne
donkey asarne
boar ashakhne
even lion anarne
and etc
Most of the animal sounds have verbs in Swedish as well.
Horse: Gnägga
Sheep/Goats: Bräka
Cow: Råma
Dog: Skälla
Cat: Jama
Rooster: Gala
Snake: Väsa
Donkey: Skria
Boar: Grymta
Lion: Ryta
My cat: Meow
French cat: ✨✨🌼Miaou🌼✨✨
I Like the serious way to treat this, very nice video
pig doesn't make any sound in Turkish one, he hehehe good catch :)
Makes sense as pigs are not going to be farm animals in a Muslim country. They might have wild boar but I don't think there are sounds associated with them.
But what sounds do ferrets make in different languages? I only know "dook" in English and "mok" in Dutch. And what sounds do otters make in different languages?
I love your videos. Amazing drawings aswell!
In spanish :
Cat: ¡ miau!
Dog : ¡ guau!
Duck : ¡ cua , cua !
Hen : ¡ co, co , co !
Rooster : ¡ kikirikiiii!
Cow : ¡muuuuuu!
Chicken : ¡ pío, pío !
Pig : usually use the english ¡ oink ¡ when it is writen .
Horse : ¡ Hiiiiiii!
You mean "quiquiriquí" for the rooster ;)
Italian
Cat: Miao
Dog: Bau, Wof, Grrr
Duck: Quack, Quack
Hen: coccodè, coco co co coco
Cow: Muuu
Little chicken: pio pio
Rooster: Chicchirichì
Pig: Oink
Horse: hihihihi
Snake: Sssssss
Mouse: Squit, squit
So pretty similar
Coccodè is when the hen poops put an egg, co coco co co, is just the hen normally
I am glad the horse finally made it in. That and the rooster would be two challenging sounds.
But, in American English, many animals make a variety of sounds. For example, the dog might say, “Bark! Bark!” or “Woof! Woof!” or “Ruff! Ruff!” or “Yap! Yap!” for a small happy dog, or “Grrrr! Grrr!” or “Howl”, etc. Is this true in other languages?
Yes, in Italian "Bau" is generally applied to all dogs, but many use it for small dogs, wof, grrr and similar sounds can be used aswell
@@lucabralia5125 Good to know. Thanks!
I belived that my cat understood spanish and english and I do notice back in Colombia that they do make diferents sounds .Sad to thing that some people think that animals are nothing, they are very smart and deserved love just liked us humans.
just noticed oink is groin in french Lol
"groin" also means an animal's snout in French. We don't pronounce it like in English though, sorry!
Where's the spanish!!!... cries In spanish... :'(
ai!
Yes, Spanish!!!
Jajaja
The first time I heard someone who speaks other languag using a word "imitating" an animal sounds I just got so confuse 'cause I didn't understand why it's different 'cause animals make the same sounds everywhere, and actually i just realized I've had never see or hear the sounds of the animals even in English, only in spanish 'cause it's my native language
2:15 - I'm pretty sure Ylvis summed up pretty well what the fox says. ruclips.net/video/jofNR_WkoCE/видео.html
Word for a sound Rooster makes in Polish is kukuryku
In Indonesian :
Cat : meong
Dog : guk-guk
Pig : grong-grong
Cow : muuu
Duck : kwek-kwek
Goat : Mbbee
Frog : kwebek-kwebek
Rooster : Kukuruyu
Hen : Kotek-kotek
Hehehe, your frog sounds like it's saying Quebec Quebec with a bad English accent!
Good video! But in french, the dog noise is "ouaf ouaf" and not "ouah ouah"! :)
I remember a joke where a French cow says le Moo.
Some of them in Hindi:
म्याऊं-म्याऊं /mjɑːũː mjɑːũː/ cat
भौं-भौं /bʱɔ̃ː bʱɔ̃ː/ dog
में-में /mẽː mẽː/ goat
कुकड़ू कूँ /kʊk.ɽuː ͜ kũː/ rooster
Interesting. Italian was very similar to german.
It's funny that Italians call Germans Tedesca which is closer to Deutsch than their Latin cousins who say Allemande.
Quiet Corner tedeschi, not tedesca, tedesca is the female noun
Russians don't say "kyaf kyaf" when they imitate a small dog's bark. They do seldom say "tyaf tyaf" - but I would say that is relatively uncommon and "gav gav" is used a lot more often. Also the "nyam nyam" that Italians say for good food is applicable to Russians as well.
P.S. I'm not Russian, but Russian is my native tongue as I was born in a post-Soviet country and my family speaks Russian. And no, we don't speak a local dialect of Russian (like German Swiss etc.), it's the same exact Russian that Russians speak
В видео все верно. Когда имитируют звонкий лай щенков или маленьких собак, то говорят обычно тяф-тяф. От этого даже слово произошло - тявкать
3:00 XD, kikiriki means peanuts in my language, Serbo-Croatian. And when the rooster said "chicchirichi" it sounded very different to a sound an animal should have made.
Hmmm, to me, an Italian it sounds exactly like what a rooster would say, I guess our languages just make us think differently
Do Spanish or Italian cats roll their Rs when they purr?
Nicolas Cacace yes they do in Spanish , it is a continuous trilled rrrrrrrr sound . Pur in spanish is " ronroneo " ( noun ) ronronear ( verb)
Yes, although I have a language defect so I can't roll, my R
As you can imagine, in Italy, where almost every R is rolled, I sound a bit strange lol
When my daughters were toddlers, they said vau vau for a dog or in German spelled wau wau. This is not an animal but water was blop blop.
few Russian sounds were closest to Indian :)
like Kukareku, myau, mu..
Yeah, except that Russian Kukareku has its stress placed on the last syllable actually.
In Swedish:
Rooster: Kuckeliku!
Duck: Kvack!
Cow: Mu!
Pig: Nöff!
Dog: Voff!
Cat: Mjau!
I remember loosing my shit when I found out that Spaniards say dogs go "guo guo"
This reminds me of the song in the movie Road Trip that Barry sings 😂
Ooooh!! They became Shriners at 2:10 ! Hide the liquor!
i live in croatia and on croatian cat goes mijau dog goes vau vau or vof vof pig goes oink oink cow goes muuu duck goes kvak kvak and rooster goes kukuriku
Pigs say groin in french
Who else still blasting this in March 2017?? like if you agree
Sha-zooooooo!
Hatschi!
(German) pronounced: huh-tshee
Sha-zoo is german I think
in arabic there are names and verbs for all animal sounds like the english *barking, to bark* instead of *wuf wuf* but for all animals even some insects
Similar for Italian.
Cat: Miao (Miagolare)
Dog: Bau (Abbaiare)
I don't understand how these foreign languages come up with such strange names for the sounds animals make... they don't sound like that, it sure would be cool if they did but they don't, it's very odd, language is weird
Well, as an Italian the english sounds are weird to me, languages do be really odd
Vas a querer o se los aviento a los inu?
In Korean, a dog says Mong Mong!
In Korean, a dog says “Please don’t eat me!”
Polish is how how...for the dog
In Iceland the animals sound not so very difrent
Like a meow from a cat:mjá
You sey it like in english all the other animals some dont sound difrent
Woof:voof
Il be going goodbye or bless like we sey it
And the Spanish does not matter?
As if Spanish was the only language in the world that was left out of this video.
Ya, but spoken by a few million, in the world. Review your geography....
KUKKOKIEKUU!

The Spanish J makes an "H" sound.
+Bhupinder Saini for spanish, hahahaha is the same as they say: a a a a a a because they don't pronounce the h
Ohh...or, maybe rather, O
