    There are many similarities between Spanish and Romanian, which are both Romance languages. Romanian is spoken primarily in Romania and Moldova and is one of the official languages of the European Union. The Spanish language, also referred to as the Castilian language, originated in the Castile region of Spain and is now the second-most spoken native language in the world. In this video we compare some of the similarities between the two languages.

    I'm from Costa Rica, native Spanish speaker here, I've been learning Romanian for a while now and I must say that even though many basic words are extremely similar, on the whole the two languages are not mutually intelligible. Romanian uses thousands of words from Turkish, Greek and Slavic languages that have no cognates in ours. On top of that, even many Romanian Latin based words are totally different (e.g. Silla/scăun, iglesia/biserică... No way we could understand them without previous training. In spite of this, it's a fascinating language and culture I've been in love with since my mid teens. Keep it up!

    • @cspresimir
      @cspresimir 6 лет назад +36

      You have your "scaun" too, it's "escanho." A slightly different meaning, indeed.
      The same goes for "biserică" => "basílica".

    • @warnerbf
      @warnerbf 6 лет назад +11

      cspresimir "escanho" does not exist in Spanish. It's "escaño" and it has a very different meaning, limited mostly to political seats in a national assembly. Unless you have studied linguistics, there is no way you can guess both words are related. Same goes for "biserică". No untrained Spanish speaker would notice the relation between both words unless they've been trained in comparative linguistics.

    • @cspresimir
      @cspresimir 6 лет назад +12

      1. Of course escanho doesn't exist per se, but iI am struggling with my own Rojmanian special characters - no way in hell I'll do it also for Spanish (or any other language, of course), unless I can copy/paste from somewhere else. But you understood it, right? :)
      2. "escaño"' refers also to "Banco con respaldo en el que pueden sentarse tres o más personas." (much like the rows of seats found in a church), or so The Royal Spanish Academy says. It's definitely something you can sit on.
      3. Yes, I can tell you from my direct experience that a regular hispanohablante has trouble to found the common denominator, even for much simpler words like the days of the week, some common food (leche/lapte, pan/pîine,azucar/zahăr, huevo/ou, arroz/orez). However, this doesn't make said words - along with escaño and basilica - less related.

    • @warnerbf
      @warnerbf 6 лет назад +4

      cspresimir I sure did. No hard feelings. I just believe a great deal of similarities between both languages only become apparent once you have studied Romanian etymology more in depth... Of course they are relatively close to each other but not so much to make them as mutually intelligible as say, Spanish and Portuguese or even Italian. I myself still struggle with Romanian even though I have studied it for a while. In spite of this I find Romanian fascinating. Greetings!

      we were talking genetics not language. There are many studies that prove we have mostly south slavic blood in our DNA. Of course it depends on the part of romania as we have a really mixed country, but generally speaking, we are anything but latins. Germans, Slavs, Magyars, Turks and even Gypsy. But not latin. At all. Even if you ignore all the studies on the matter, you need only open your eyes and look at general features of the people. We are much more alike in features with bulgarians than with spaniards, italians frenchies or germans. Especially germans, and spaniards, who stand out completely and have a very specific look, that's NOTHING like romanians.

      There are a lot of similarities in the basic Latin vocabulary but this video was meant to show case them. Overall, the more you learn, the more you'll see different and divergent influences as well, and they aren't truly mutually intelligible. That said, I have both Romanian and Italian background and have known several Romance languages from youth, so can appreciate the extent of similarities. Romanians are somehow more likely to understand western Romance languages than vice versa. It's a strange phenomenon.

  • @xolang
    @xolang 4 года назад +38

    the (in modern spanish unpronounced) H in "hacer" and "hambre" actually have the same roots as Romanian "face" and "foame".
    it's just that initial F- in Latin became H- in Old Spanish and eventually it ceased to be pronounced altogether, even though the letter H- is retained in the orthography.
    Interestingly some Romanian dialects had a similar development: the word for "son" in Standard Romanian is FIU, in Istroromanian it's FILLU, in Aromanian HILL, and in Meglenoromanian ILLU.
    Notice how the F- becomes H- in Aromanian and disappears altogether in Meglenoromanian.

      This happens in (Daco-)Romanian proper. In Eastern and Northeastern Romanian dialects (Moldova and Maramures) it was documented in Middles Ages or even until recently in the 19th century: fiu>hiu, fire>hire. Nowadays it's pronounced in thick Moldovan accent as shiu, shire, shir.

    In terms of the verb "to do", Spanish and Romanian actually do use the same word, it's just hard to tell. Spanish "hacer", romanian "face", Italian "fare", French, "fair", etc. all come from latin "facere" (pronounced "fakere"). In Spanish the initial "f" was lost, but it's still the same root word.

      That is incorrect. In classical Latin the letter "c" was always pronounced with a hard /k/ sound. This pronunciation is actually retained in one modern romance language (Sardinian). The reason why the sound changed in all of the other romance languages is due to a common phonological process known as palatalization, whereby in front of the vowels i and e, /k/ turned into /kʲ/ and then from there turned into the fricative and affricate sounds used by most modern romance languages. You can actually see this in process happening right now in Modern Greek - on the mainland, /k/ has turned into palatal /kʲ/ before /i/ and /e/, while in Cyprus it has evolved even further into an affricate. This has also happened in Icelandic, and it happened to English over a thousand years ago (compare Icelandic "kirkja" with two palatal /kʲ/s to English "church" with two affricates. As for how we know this, aside from the fact that the modern romance pronunciations have to derive from /k/ in order to make any sense, there's also a ton of historical evidence to support the linguistic evidence. Here's a nice summary of it: goo.gl/S4Tbka
      Cicero was pronounced /kikero/, "vincere" was pronounced /winkere/, etc.

      OH WOOOW. Time travel is now possible? And you _heard_ them pronounce it like that, right?
      Bullshit. This is the perfect example how desperate germanophon countries are, trying to keep up their self-constructed indo - _GERMANISCH_ fairy tale alive. Nazi "science".
      The entire world calls it *INDO-EUROPEAN* and germanic itself *is just ONE subgroup of many, many others!*
      Selfcentred much?
      Srsly, y'all need to give up the "hard K" lie. As if ONE single letter would "prove" something.
      Now tell me *HOW* was the *[C]* in *[C]ELTAE* ("Celts") *pronounced?* And more important... what does it actually *mean?*
      Latin was and still is a *high-elite - language* (>>> Vatikan).
      *Latin borrowed from HELLENIC, SEMITIC, ETRUSCAN AND S-E-V-E-R-A-L UNKNOWN LANGUAGES.* Full of loanwords, foreign words. Like all languages. No language is "pure". So stop acting as if _"pure latin"_ is or _ever was_ a real thing. The *base* was *OLD* latin. Latin is just full of loanwords from ancient hellenic.
      I mean... what was the base of the latin alphabet? Yea, you know it.
      However, someone saw
      _C-A-E-S-A-R..._
      ... later you found _"Kaiser"_ ("Emperor") in the german vocabulary.
      Which is - of course - *not* a german word, but a *germanized* (or bastardised) *form of the name "Caesar"* and today it has *the meaning "Emperor"* in *german.*
      I guess the [C] in "[C]aesar" was also "originally" pronounced as a "hard K"... 🤔😒 smh
      Nevermind.
      Sardinian is kinda "alien" to other italian dialects, bc it was the first to split from the _italic-romance branch._ After that followed romanian. Meaning: Sardinian > the oldest "italian", basically.
      Sardinian has also quite a "few" cognates to albanian. And some linguists disagree with adding romanian into the same group with italian, french & co. But somehow nonsense and impossible, since they're lexically very close related.
      But Romanian is also the only language in the italic-romance family that does not have the article in the front of the noun _(note the hybrid name btw, italic+romance)._ The article in romanian is found at the end of the noun, as a suffix. Same case with albanian.
      Also scandinavian languages (such as icelandic, swedish, danish, norwegian, etc.), 2 south slavic _(only in bulgarian and modern macedonian, all other slavic languages don't even have articles),_ and basque.
      If you'll find a word ending with an [-a] in romanian in (the definite form); know that it's feminie.
      Add the article [a] in the front ... = it's like f.e. portuguese.
      ▪ an example:
      *"POARTĂ"* ("gate") - romanian
      An romanian [ă] is pronounced like an albanian [ë]. Also called "Schwa", in IPA an [ə]. Different letters, but the *same* pronounciatian, *same* tone.
      If words (nouns) end with an [-ë] in albanian, they are 99.99 % Feminine in their definite form and ending with an [-A]. That's not just "coincidence".
      ▪ derË- der[A] - _f._
      _door - [the] door_
      ▪ verË - ver[A] - _f._
      _summer - [the] summer_
      But back to *"poartă"* ... the definite form is *POART[A]* ("the gate"). It's _feminie._
      It looks and sounds very similiar to *italian PORT[A]* ("door") and *spanish PUERT[A]* ("door"). Because *IT IS* literally the *SAME.*
      POART[Ă] (rom., "gate")
      POART[A] (rom., "the gate")
      |
      [A] PORT[A] (portuguese /
      | | galician / corsican)
      | |
      L[A] PORT[E] (french)
      | |
      L[A] PORT[A] (italian, catalan)
      | |
      L[A] PUERT[A] (spanish)
      _pOrte, pOArtĂ, pOArtA or pUErtA..._ it doens't matter.
      Bc vowel shifts ain't _THAT_ serious.
      [P]oa[RT]ă (rom, indefinite)
      [P]oa[RT]a (rom., definite)
      [P]o [RT]a (port, gal, cors, ital, catl)
      [P]o [RT]e (french)
      [P]ue[RT]a (spanish)
      | |
      *[P] [RT]*
      ▪ However, *Latin "PORTA"* had the *meaning "door" and "gate".*
      ▪ The etymolgy:
      》 from Proto-Indo-European root **per-* _("to pass through")._ Confer with *portus,* Ancient Hellenic *πόρος | póros* _"means of passage")_ 《
      As you can see *constructed* IEP - roots are need for the etymolgy. Still doesn't change the fact that the root *PER* is found everywhere and in *all* INDO-EUROPEAN languages. It's just the *meaning* that changes or _changed._
      I am sick and tired of ppl that think "latin" is "old". So? So are _Greek, Albanian, Armenian._ They predate Latin and not whitout a reason called "languages of antiquity" by *linguists.* They have their reasons why they gave them own, separate branches.
      Latin is *inside* the indo-european group.
      A lot has changed since #Hettite has been deciphred and #Tocharian discovered. It's about time for an update and about time for chauvinists to stop messing around with languages and claming "roots" as "theirs" for political reasons.

      Paul Naughton actually, in latin you have "facere" (to do) and depending on the dialect and the period that "c" can be like the spanish "ch" or a "k" sound. So romanian it's closer to latin in that word. Many spanish words still have the latin root, like in "satisfacer" that is conjugated just like "hacer". I hope this is somewhat usefull.

These are not facts. This is a stupid theory invented in the communist era, to brainwash Romanians to no longer believe in God and to praise and believe in Zalmoxis (Dacian people's God).

    3:21 no! lots of words from latin had a F at begining and lost it in spanish, they became H, hacer was Facer from facere (latin) and the romamian verb for to do comes too from that word! (hablar comes from Fablar, in french "une fable" is a story and I guess to speak is Fablar in portuguese, hiero comes from Fiero (or something like that) and corresponds to "fer" in french which comes from latin. Hijo in spanish (son) comes from filius (latin) and corresponds to fils in french)
    yes many words in spanish come from arabic, and loys of them begin with H or AL but Hacer definitly comes from latin and has the same root as the romanian word

    French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian...all similar. Know one, it ought to be no problem learning another.

    Румынский - это так же, как испанский, португальский, французский и итальянский, романская группа языков. Поэтому лексика почти идентичная. Зная латынь, освоить любой из романских языков очень просто.

    There are many similar words between spanish and romanian, also spanish and portuguese, romanian and italian. Since, all of them are latin languages there is not so hard for someone to learn the one of these languages. I'm romanian and I learned spanish from TV, also I can understand italian and portuguese. The only difference which I can't understand is why french is considerate as latin language.... I studied for 5 years but I could not see so much similarities between other latin languages. Just saying ....

    These 3 should teach 2 LANGUAGES AT THE SAME TIME. That would be great. They are very inoffensive yet interesting, so they would be good to appeal to everyone.
