Guys there’s a fake account using the GN logo and name in the comments trolling everyone with a link, DO NOT CLICK ON IT AND REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY. I’ve already blocked them but they might come back so please be vigilant.
I fell for it and got a virus. Thankfully Avast did its job and I reported it AFAP.
It's like a trend nowadays. I see spam channels like that on multiple channels I'm subscribed to. Always report when I see them. Anyways, can't wait for the next episode. Cheers ;)
Okay
It's a pretty big issue on RUclips right now.
Sweet. Now you're officially famous. Congrats.
Im surprised he didn’t mention Kirimati’s “cities,” four of which are called Poland, Paris, London, and Banana.
ah yes the BANANA
Poles be like "Hmm I really need to get away, to some tropical island city... how about... Poland!"
@@theodenmannix4362 Lol, I guess that by that logic bananas must like to vacation there too!
If Kiribati is pronounced "Kiribas", then I would assume Kiritimati must be pronounced "kirismas", which is much closer to Christmas.
It is!
@@MikeV8652 It certainly is. What I would like to know is why whatever missionary it was that created the written Kiribati language chose to represent the sound "s" with the letters "ti".
@@erikwahlstrom976 the story goes like this: the man who translated the bible had a broken 's' key on his typewriter. So because depending on dialect 'tu' can sometimes be said as 'su', he decided that 'ti' could be 'si'. Later, after he received a new typewriter, he changed all word in the bible referring to jesus with a 'ti' ( or tu which can make an s sound too) to be spelled with an 's'. That's why its iesu ( jesus) and not ietu.
I hope that made sense! TL;DR a broken s key on a typewriter is responsible.
Yeah and thst's why in english it is Christmas Island
And Betio is pronounced Besio. The place with all the WWII junked tanks.
25% of comment section: talking about Kiribati
75% of comment section: NORTH KOREA IS NEXT
And 1% (Me) Talking about the hidden hashtag in the episode. I know it totals to 101% but deal with it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
5% of comments: Next is Kuwait (Debate ensues with angry South Koreans talking about getting grouped with North Korea)
Yeah . Ken wanted to have more screen time so I was like "Ehhh Okay... you've earned it" Check out our 3RD Country in OCEANIA! Seriously I had so much fun researching this one. You'll love it.
Geography Now hi barby
hello
Geography Now what will be next week
Geography Now Hi
What's wrong with your mic?
Zimbabwe episode is taking so much, that is changing president
Shame , this guy only had 1 month until his 30 years in office.
janitoalevic LOL love your icon
Zimbabwe is a case of "decades when nothing happens vs days when decades happen"
Last time I was this early, Mugabe was president.
Lol my homeboy Kenneth Kaunda talked him down from it. Kenneth Kaunda was the first president of my favorite country, Zambia. Looks like old leaders are great friends.
Reasons I watched this episode
1- I like Geography Now
2- I like island states
3- Kirabati flag is AWESOME!! 🇰🇮🇰🇮🇰🇮
@Johan Jeivick Domrique tbh north Korean flag is better than Indonesian flag
Island Nations are #1
Exactly

Honestly, Marshall Islands flag is better than Kiribati's.
We wish you a Merry Kiritimati

Ake tarawakatoa Thanks! You're right. It's my mistake there. Now I've corrected it. I'm just surprised that this old comment has got some attention. :)
Thanks, For the reply
It's pronounced Kirismas, just like Kiribati is Kiribas. :)
Sunspot Mill Happy new zeland
north korea is gonna be a good one
yeay :D
The country with the best freedom of speech
North Korea is Best Korea.
grabs the popcorn
TBH, North Korea is better than South Korea.
Can't wait for next video on True Korea
Aaayyy
😂😂😂😂
North Korea, Is best Korea
South Korea best Korea!
Also you have RUclips?
Agreed. I mean its been voted best Korea by North Korea for 50 years running.
On island Kiritimati there are places called London, Paris, Poland and Banana xD
I clicked the video just to see those 4 places
KIRIBATI
XDDDDD
There's a place in Kenya called Banana too!
In Poland we also have Paris, epic

Technically the UK does too - Great Britain straddles the meridian (by definition it passes through Greewich) putting it in both Western and Eastern hemispheres, GB is in the Northern hemisphere and places like the Falklands and St Helena are in the Southern Hemisphere
I went to a highschool which had a "sister school" in Kiribati, every year either a group of our students would go up there for a few weeks or a group of theirs would come to ours. It was awesome.
Rainman Slim that sounds cool
Chevalier High School?
I'm from Kiribati thank you
bigbro Bang That's cool
Thanks ;)
Wow, you responded fast.
Nice
bigbro Bang holy! Tell everyone that we do actually know you guys exist xD cool country.
I’m from a small island just outside of Chuuk lagoon. In my culture, we have a lot of different ainang (clans/family/origins). The name of my ainang is Sopunipi in case anyone wanted to know lol. Anyways, there is an ainang called Tarawa and it comes from Tarawa, Kiribati. I know one of my uncle’s family has its origins in Kiribati. On my island, we have a fish that you catch from the deep parts of the ocean. It’s a very oily fish that will make you poop orange oil if you eat too much lol. Well people from Kiribati (I was told they were exiles) came and taught my people how to catch it. They called it _te ika ni beka_ (the fish of poop) Which is why the name of it in my language is _teikanepek_ .
McDonalds Islands, Starbuck Island... Do you see a pattern?
LOL I see it now there just needs to be the island Taunui-chick-file.
Is the dock on it called the "Float-Thru" then ?
Geography now! class that i never miss :P
If makes an sound then shouldn't Kiritimati be like _'Kirismas'_ ?
Geography Now
Please don't imitate others.....
Well it's spelled "Kiribati" so it's pronounced kiribas
I guess so..
My thoughts exactly. Especially that it seems to be the closest approximation of the word Christmas in the local phonology.
K.I. Wong no it shouldn't.. It's when they need an 's' they use 'ti' but then when they don't then they don't...
Been to Kiribati (Tarawa Atoll) in June 2017!! It was wonderful :-)
Lucky you!
veramente? come è stato? quanto ti è costato il viaggio?
Kiribati is so awesome! Just imagine how uniquely cool and weird would it be to actually live there. I think you chose the absolute perfect final words of conclusion.
Love to all nations worldwide currently from my room in Latvia.
Ikr
Go to a river & learn how to tread water real well.
I’ve been to Latvia, LOVED IT!!! I’ve also been to Kiribati for 3 weeks doing volunteer dentistry. It was quite miserable. What the pictures don’t show is the HEAT. Life on the equator is hard.
BRO IM FROM LATVIA TOO AND I LOVE KIRIBATI, FELLS JUST AS NEIGHBOROUS AS LITHUANIA LOL

KIRIBAHS??? my life is a lie.....
Nabiel Wardhana Same. 😭
Nabiel Wardhana ..mine's too.
Yeah, ever since I found out it existed (about a year ago) I called it KIR-BA-TY
We have I-Kiribati people in the Solomon Islands. They emigrated to the Solomons in the early 1950's due to population pressure and increasing climate change. Their numbers constitute 2% of the country's total population.
Oh really? That's so interesting. I'm which part of the Solomon islands emigrated to?
I love how every other instance of a '-ti' ending he pronounced like 'tee.'
I’ve been pronouncing it wrong my entire life 😮🤦♂️😂
Wanda Mendes lol yea, but sometimes its pronounced "Kiri-basi
Same!
Daniel well my friend and I like to do country quiz so I sometimes say kiribati
i pronounced it as kiri-baai before 😅😅😅😅
Easily the best channel on RUclips.
Rodney Green wrong
@@mindme7628 That's a opinion
@@lastnamewhat20 and a wrong opinion
@@mindme7628 A opinion can't be wrong or right

ill be honest here, i didnt understand that timezone stuff lmao
I don't think anyone did
I was zoning in & out
Same
The prime meridian divides the earth into west and east hemisphere, so any country it passes through will have a portion in each hemisphere, for example England. The equator divides the world into north and south hemisphere, so any country through which the equator passes would have a portion in each hemisphere, for example brazil.
This country Kiribati is perhaps the only country on earth through which both the prime meridian and the equator pass through, hence it lies in the north and south hemisphere due to the equator and east and west hemisphere due to the prime meridian. Hence, it lies in all 4 hemispheres.
When im visting my auntie there i got the sonic spider man and ben ten watches timed for different areas
Kiribati finally ... been waiting long -- thanks Barb
4:08 wait, STARBUCK island?
Drakan R iip
Lmao I didn't even notice that
Drakan R no, idiot
SEVERE NON-GEOGRAPHY-NERD ALERT!
They have London, Paris and Banana towns too😕
Barb who are the famous people from Kiribati? :D
Dont have any rhey dont exist
Basically their whole national football team is "famous", according to google.
I've never heard of this country let alone someone from it
Moana and Lilo!
look up their olympic's flag bearer
Found this thanks to the Kiribati government Twitter account ratioing someone
You guys are becoming one of my fav channel that I watch daily now! Kudos to the team you did such a good job!!!!
For those who are interested in Gilbertese (Kiribati/taetae ni Kiribati):
/t/ is lenited and assibilated before /i/. So /ti/ is pronounced as [si]. As Barby already said, the name Kiribati comes from Gilberts and since the language lacks a lot of English consonants, they had to substitute some parts to make the name fit the phonological and phonotactical constraints. /g/ > /k/, /ɪ/ > /i/, /l/ > /ɾ/, /b/ > /p/, /ɚ/ > /a/, /ts/ > /s/ and /ɾ/ isn't allowed at the end of a syllable so an /i/ is added (while the /i/ at the end isn't actually pronounced): [gɪlbɚts] becomes [kiɾipas]
So is the largest atoll pronounced Kiris Mas?
@@lbs7774 yes
So why is the B in Kiribati still pronounced as B and not P?
Can’t wait for North Korea
Marianna Kryet same.
Geography Now Guys, I tested this out & it actually works!
True Korea you mean
Best Korea
How’s that episode gonna work.
I am from Kiribati. Well I live in New Zealand born and raised here but I identify myself as Ikiribati! Such an awesome thing to see my country and my people being put into a video!

Omg this is the first video I was watching from you guys and I love it! I never had much knowledge about topography and stuff like that but you manage to put so much information in that video in an entertaining way, so it is just fun to learn more.
Thanks :D
Been looking forward to this one for a while.
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Good to see the guys behind the scenes getting involved as well. Awesome energy, LOVE your passion!
When the Google assistant thinks you said "cannabis"...
2:21, France : « Okay, okay… calm down, it’s okay, fine. 🙄 It’s not my fault if… if I’m right again… »
Kudos to the person who made the English subtitles!!! Whoever you are, your humour is awesome!
Kiribati stronk!
Yeah!! I've been looking forward to watching this and I enjoyed it a lot!!! Thank you so much that I learned more than we've taught in Taiwan. It's really important for me to learn our friends more!!
7:33 For anyone wondering, that’s actually the intro for fan / flag Friday
Who would have thought geography would be so exciting?! Thank you for sparking into flame a new desire to learn more about the islands around me 🇵🇼 🤗🥰⭐

i was wondering when this was coming out i mean really ever sence you started the first i am really happy when i watch these you are in my opion the best person for someone to teach Geography and i have learned so much thank you for being amazing so i want to say i love all your videos thank you barby i cant wait to see your next video
Fascinating!! I always love learning about my distant cousins of the east. Much love from Palau!
Anglophone being weirded out by orthography. That's funny.
I love Kiribati since I found out that my birthday is on their independence day. I felt important for once.
I really love your videos. And sense of humor. Well done Barbs.
Watching these videos makes my day. :) I love learning with you guys!
Very old comment
Kiribati has possibly the coolest flag in the world. I did a presentation in year 8 SOSE when we investigated the Pacific Islands, and it was amazing the fact that, despite them using the AUD, and us giving them lots of aid, I had never heard of Kiribati. I made sure I learned about it, because it is such a cool country to learn about.
I remember a few years ago,i was watching comoros episode and i said: i can't wait for kiribati episode...and here we are today!
Love how im from there and I didn't believe there would actually be a video on iy
I really enjoy your videos as always. But this one was veeeeery interesting. I learn something new every time.
Nearly died when he said panda anus 😂😂
I loved Kiribati when I was a child just because I thought their flag was so cool :v
and everyone around me was like "whats up with that flag you're drawing? wat? Kiribati? wtf is a 'Kiribati'? u crazy? lulz" :v
Kalz Carvalho omg, me too!!
yay, I'm not alone :v
Same with me, I love drawing a lot of flags even hisoric like USSR and every friend ask me wat is that?I say the country flag and he responds I am crazy!I feel you why don't they just mind their own business!Btw I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina!Change our flag it is boring!I drew it myself and it looks pretty cool,it looks like this:diagonal colors of green,white and blue and emblem in the middle(golden lily,with crown on top and feathers sorounding it).
Same here
For our (Kiribati flag) it has a meaning. The frigate bird indicates that we are voyagers/travellers and that we are an independent nation. The sun waves/flames are 33 in number ( showing the Number of atolls in Kiribati) and the 3 blue/white waves indicate the 3 main island chains explained in the video. What the color indicates is unknown to me, but some say they used the red blue and white to show respect to Great Britain, and the yellow is just a Kiribati addition.
0:20 Australia put Fiji down
I learned Bubuti in Saipan. When someone says "Can I Borrow this??" It means "Can I HAVE THIS???" LOL
This scenario with Kiribati's name reminds me of "ghoti".
I wonder if having a bot comment will boost mine any higher...
Come to think of it, why is the "BIG SURPRISE ||\|>" style of bot spam so popular?
While English orthography is archaic and often just stupidly illogical Gilbertese orthography is straightforward and everything (except for /t/ before /i/) is pronounced as it is written.
Yas,!! I was thinking about my linguistics class all.the.time. Thank you for pointing it out! You clever ghoti! ;D
Oh boy it's rocket man's country.
Bing bing bong
Bruh You commented 2 minutes before me.
Andrew Turkington you mean best Korea right?
David W. Sure *snicker*
When I first read your comment, I thought "wtf, Elton John isn't from Kiribati" then I realised my mistake.
I love all your videos and this one really caught my interest. I appreciate all the time you and your team put in to doing your research. I was also fascinated with the fact that 9% of the Kilibris population is Mormon. I watched this video twice to make sure I heard correctly. I love the fact that you respect not only other cultures, but religions as well. It’s impressive and I have a new respect for all the countries you have covered so far. Keep up the great work!
Kiritimati is pronounced kirismas, making it sound like christmas, which is why its sometimes called christmas island
Was looking for this comment
I feel sad for all the low lying countries, including kiribati 😢
Does the Netherlands count?
Niels den Besten probably same with Denmark
Same :(...
Ok I live in Germany near the border to the Netherlands so if they should sink I would have the shore next to my door, hm actually... no no I love the Dutch people to much to want this to happen :D
i read about the Netherlands having those huge barriers at the deltas that prevent flooding. is it still prone to flooding though? (never went there) *edit : barriers
Especially Maldives (lowest lying country on Earth) 😢
I was just browsing around on Google Earth and saw the little chain of islands and so I Googled them, then I came to RUclips and found this. Very interesting. I think it would be fascinating to visit sometime but I doubt if I ever get there.
literally what i was doing just now!
I'm learning the world flags atm and one way to remember things well is to give it meaning. Really enjoyed this video.
Interesting Video as always Paul!
If Kiribati becomes uninhabited then can we move the international date line back?
No let’s leave it. As a remembrance.
Venky Wank - How did that happen? He didn't explain that in the video.
Global warm????
Maybe build artificial islands just like Dubai did, of course others rich countries need to help. or floating villages, thats an avant-garde idea www.charles-simonds.com/floatingcities.html

i never realized how great the subtitles were on this channel, it's great
3:59 I thought you mispronounced Kiribati as Kirby for a second, then I realized that you said curvy lol
@Geography Now, Thank you! This the most info about Kiribati I've heard in 5 years, after learning of its existence. That is not too America-centric. You get my 10th like ever, & after about 2 years (I think), a new subscriber. Can't wait for Pitcairn, Niue , & Tuvalu. ;-)
I actually remembered visiting one of it's islands that new year transitioning from 1999 to 2000.
So excited for the comments below the NK video. You should probably close the section on that one.
Tuvalu was kind of tsundere with Kiribati
4:18: My maternal surname. That's really cool.
Wow i loved your video, it is so fun to watch
You, at the thumbnail is soo cuttee Barbs! Never expect you rock the smile!
I swear to god, there better be a Starbucks on Starbuck Island. Idc if nobody lives there, it just needs to happen.
You pay with starfish & sand dollars (bucks)
00:00 You pronounced Kiribati correctly! I'm so happy! =D
That Japanese spaceport was supposed to be the landing site of their now-cancelled version of the Space Shuttle (HOPE or H-II Orbiting Plane)
Omg the other day you were on 5K ❤️😭 I'm so proud of youuuu
It's now outdated since Kiribati cut ties with Taiwan
Pretty sure Kiribati could use some help from the Netherlands in both of their fights against the sea.
