German and Dutch belong to the West Germanic language family, a family that also includes English, Afrikaans, Yiddish, Frisian amongst others.
German is an official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.
Dutch is an official language in the Netherlands, Belgium, Suriname, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten.
While German and Dutch are quite similar in terms of vocabulary, they do differ significantly grammatically. German has 4 cases while Dutch has none.
Dutch has only two genders- common and neuter. Common stands for both the feminine and masculine, while neuter stands for most objects without gender. However, German language has masculine, feminine, and neuter.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Dutch is incredibly unique in its phonology, yet it’s also quite familiar to an English speaker
I'm german and I love the dutch and their language ♡
I am dutch and i love german and their language 🤍
I love that both you (as Germans in general) and the Dutch are super direct (the Dutch even more so, somehow). I became such, due to you all.
A comparison of Dutch and Afrikaans would be awesome, as well
Low German/Low Saxon/Platt is a language that is both in Northern Germany and in Northern Netherlands, has a lot of dialects but is mutually intelligible across the border! I am from Groningen and if i speak Gronings (Dutch Low Saxon dialect) people from western Netherlands cannot understand this but people from East Frisia can.
Even though Deutsch (German) and Dutch are closely related belonging to West Germanic group, they’re not mutually intelligible as some people thought. I recall a funny short story by Johann Peter Hebel when I learned German. A German man traveled to Amsterdam and asked people about the owners of the houses and many things there using German language. The locals always answered “Kannitverstan” so he was amazed that “Mr. Kannitverstan” was very rich there. Actually the Dutch people said “Kan niet verstaan” (German: Kann nicht verstehen = I can’t understand you). 😂
I have to remember that story 😄
Also, i am german.
My whole family is.
But the city my dad lived in had its own dialect, which i couldnt understand at all (bits at most).
It was very far removed from high german.
Once when we were on holiday together, there was a dutch hotel worker there.
As an experiment i asked my dad and her to talk to each other in their native tounge.
And voila!
They understood each other perfectly.
My dad's city was about 150km from the dutch border btw 😅
I am still sad my dad didnt teach me his dialect, as it is dying out, and there is not even a book to learn from.
Only thing i can say is [phonetically] "chiv mey n water" 😂
Low German is very close to Dutch. "I can't understand" is "ik kann nich verstahn" in Low German.
@@timomatic6226 Diin Fader sprekkt Nederdüütsk? Cool
@@timomatic6226 huh, that is really odd. It does really sound like what it would be in Dutch. "Geef mij 'n water" is bassicly pronounced the same. Any idea which place this was?
i like dutch but i work with germans so i mix words, same when speaking english use german words.
But my german lvl is high than dutch.
In Dutch we actually do have three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter (or indeterminate as we call it)), however the differences between the masculine and feminine have been desolving over the years. Because of this they are at current virtually indistinguishable, yet they remain seperate in an official capacity.
It is also worth noting that just like in German gender distinctions only exist in the singular and disappear in the plural.
Exactly. Masculine and feminine just use the same article, "de". Modern English has traces of genders too. E.g. the ship and her crew.
I’ve been struggling to learn German for years. I started Norwegian and I’m blowing through it. Highly recommend to anyone in similar situation.
The problem with Norwegian is that there's no official spoken language. Norwegian dialects are numerous and very different from each other (some aren't even mutually intelligible)
I really love German and its pronunciation, it’s so cool! 👌🏼 I’m learning that language and I hope to read German literature soon ❤️
I have one remark, the neck/der Nacken/de hals. De hals is the word for neck, but we also have ‘de nek’. De hals is used for the front side and de nek is used for the back side of the neck/der Nacken. So we have two different words for one anatomic part of the body. Just like English has chest and back for torso. It is strange that English hasn’t got two different words for the front and the back of the neck. To my knowledge German has, der Hals und der Nacken, just like Dutch. So English is the odd one out here, not Dutch.
Dutch is my favourite, I love dutch language so much, beautiful 💙
the neck is divided in german in the Front part (der Hals) and the back of the neck (der Nacken). So you could make similarities more visible. We can also say "Danke sehr" instead of "Vielen Dank" to "thank you very much". Idk just to point out the similarities more. :)
The same in Dutch. Hals is the front of the neck, nek is the back.
Hello Andy! I really enjoy languages, since learning Russian at 16, and teaching myself English since I was 15.
Seeing this language family introduction at the beginning, I'd like to know if you could and would do a video about language families sometime in the (near) future(?).
Thanks (Danke)! (I'm from Germany, Berlin)
Very useful vid. I wanna learn Dutch now. Thanks a lot :)
EN 🇬🇧: German/Germany, Dutch/Netherlands
DE 🇩🇪: Deutsch/Deutschland, Niederländisch/Niederlande
NE 🇳🇱: Duits/Duitsland, Nederlands/Nederland
The Germans feel like they make more sense be called "Dutch" and the demonym of the Netherlands should probably be Netherlandic or Nederlandish?
Dutch was once used by English speakers to refer to all West Germanic speakers on the continent. High Dutch was German (Hochdeutsch) and Low/Nether-Dutch was the language of the Netherlands. But when Germany unified as a country, instead of going with Dutchland they called it Germany, after the Latin name for region, Germania, to show of they're very well read lmao. After that, Dutch stuck only with people from the Netherlands
Quite funny that English uses Dutch instead of netherlander which is a more preferable term imo. Deutsch probably comes from the king of the German people who was Frankish.
@@wtz_under Netherlander sounds strange in English though
Also the Dutch are Frankish
Also, drop the plural for Netherland / Niederland. Only historically it was correct when it covered modern day Belgium (and more) as well.
@@wtz_under Deutsch comes from Proto-Germanic ethnonym *þiudiskaz "popular", not from a king.
Would be lovely to see German, Dutch and Plattdüütsch together :)
Dutch sounds like a mix of english german and french
I like the german language 🇵🇹👍🏻🇩🇪
I love both of the languages 🇩🇪🇳🇱
Dutch sounds amazing ❤
I love it! Good video.
People should also keep in mind, that standard Dutch and standard German are basically regionally localized standard varieties. They both traditionally shade into each other via a huge common dialect continuum: „Continental West Germanic“.
That continuum is basically gone though
i would love a video on Germanic languages that are like in-between German and Dutch, coz there's many regional languages between the 2 countries that they're considered linguistically in-between the 2 languages as well and k think they're so interesting
Low German is what's inbetween Dutch and German.
There are some other videos on this channel that have some of those regional languages in them. Mainly Limburgish and form of low German
Beautiful languages german and dutch.....
I see how German & Dutch is so intelligable to eachother only German has a stronger acsent then Dutch
Tanrı dünyayı o kadar çok sevdi ki, biricik Oğlunu verdi. Öyle ki ona iman edenlerin hiçbiri mahvolmasın, hepsi sonsuz yaşama kavuşsun.
Amin :) Danke
As a Bulgarian living in Germany, I can understand both languages very well
Ik hou van duits - Ich mag Niederländisch
Please, the sound of “Spanish Spanish” (Spanish of Spain), “Imperial Spanish” and “Ecclesial Latin”
Ein mix aus deutsch und englisch
very cool.
Can you do the video "The Sound of the Proto-Kartvelian language"?
standard dutch has a rolled r, but because of speech impediments the german sounding r is slowly gaining traction especially in the upper class. hope we don't end up like the french.
In the Ambonese language "Danke/Dangke" is "Thank You"
I giggled a bit at “vielen dank”
Why?
@@محمدالرويحي-ر2م because most of Muslims living in German and Dutch speaking countries mispronounces it
Very good video. However, as a native Dutch-speaker I don't agree with your statement about Dutch having only two genders. Dutch has three genders: male, female and neutral. Yes, the male and female nouns share the same article ("de"). However, it is important for anyone who wants to speak correct Dutch to remember the noun's gender. Why? Because you need to know the gender when you're referring to the noun. For example, "de stoel" (the chair) is male. If someone asks you "waar is de stoel?" ("where is the chair?"), the grammatically correct answer is "ik weet niet waar hij is" (literally "I don't know where he is"). On the other hand, "de tafel" (the table) is female, so with table you have to say "Ik weet niet waar zij is" ("I don't know where she is"). Using "hij" (he) or "hem" (him) when referring to a table is incorrect Dutch.
Dutch has no cases? Whatever happend to de vader des vaderlands, de koningin der Nederlanden en de heer des huizes?
Man this reminds me of German history and holy roman empire for some reason
They don't sound the same
The fact that in dutch there's no hard g sound drives me mad tbh
How they pronounce "Godzilla"
We can still pronounce the hard G though. So most people will pronounce Gozilla like it's pronounced in English.
Dutch is a similar language to German. But I speak german a lot
It is strange as a Native English speaker, I somewhat understood Dutch a bit, especially the last bible verse.
God bless you Andy. God loves you. Yahweh is our service, (Diyos ang aming sandigan)
het spijt me = it spite me
lol
Low German is more similar to english than standard?
Azerbaijani, Turkish and Gagauzian please
Also in German violet is "die Veilchen"
“Lila” is how I heard purple called in German
If you mean the flower, yes
If you mean the color, no
Wow
I love Cambodia language
omg my 2 native languages
English neck should be Hals/hals in G/D.
Dutch DE DE DE DE DE
Deutsch DER DIE DAS ! Welcome 😂
De and het (as well) in Dutch.
Dutch sounds like a drunk english guy trying to speak German
proto british
British is not a language, it's called English.
@@___E British/Brythonic/Brittonic is a Celtic group of languages. Breton is a British language.
Multii
Honestly dutch sounds like Germans trying to make a british impression no offence
Man this reminds me of German history and holy roman empire for some reason
