Dutch vs. German | How Similar Are Dutch and German Words?

- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2020
- How similar are Dutch and German? Here are forty words, read aloud by a native Dutch speaker and a native German speaker. Dutch vs. German - can you count how many words are spelled exactly the same?
Being European neighbors, Germany and the Netherlands share a lot in common, but their languages are slightly different. It is said that German speakers can often understand Dutch speakers, and vice-versa. What do you think?
This polyglot challenge covers ten food items in Dutch and German, then 10 animals in Dutch and German, and finally our two natives speakers will count to 20 in their native languages.
German and Dutch are considered Germanic Languages - West Germanic Languages to be specific. The West Germanic languages include the three most widely spoken Germanic languages: English with around 360-400 million native speakers; German, with over 100 million native speakers; and Dutch, with 24 million native speakers.

I’m scared because they don’t stop smiling and it feels like they are staring into my soul
That's just the German and Dutch charm 😂
its creepy
😂😂😂
No they smile silently german and dutch people are like cousins.
Joe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the Dutch guy is dressed formally and elegantly, ready for a business meeting while the German one looks like he's about to go to Oktoberfest right after this interview😂
True 🤣
The Dutch generally dress very nicely. They're very well groomed in the Netherlands. I lived there 10 years.
Too bad, no Oktoberfest for you this year!
Im DUTCH
Most of the people do not wear a suit in the netherlands, mostly just wear sportsclothing I live my whole life in the nether
English: “What is that”
German: “Was ist das”
Dutch: “Wat is dat”
I'm German, but because of my dialect, I would rather use the Dutch pronunciation to be honest
i am also german and i also say wat is dat
Im Dutch
Some people in the US would probably say "wat is dat" as well.
Wat is dat is typical northern german😄
Me: That is the worst!!!!
Dutch guy: Yes, that is the sausage.
Lol 😂
Wurst is Standard German! In the german dialects you can hear Worscht, Worschd, Wurscht, Wurschd , Wuurschd etc., so dutch Worst is not strange for a German.
Forgotten: Sausage: In French either saucisses ( Würstchen) or saucisson ,
@jaep struiksma : I belong to the majority of germans, which has no knowledge of dutch, so i was allways surprised, when i between 1990 and 2016 worked for another small company. Sometimes dutch lorry drivers or clients from a dutch company arrived, they could speak german language rather good. I myself was only for a weekend holiday trip, organized by a bus company, in Belgium. One day i wanted to try ,Ardenner Schinken' ( ham from Ardennes), because i often have heard of. I asked a girl, working at a fast food hut in english language. She spoke in flemmish with a coworker, i could understand only one word ,Slagerie', which is surely dutch/ flemmish word for ,Schlachterei' , which is used in nortern Germany ( in my south german homeregion ,Metzgerei' is used).
@jaep struiksma : German words for butcher, used in different parts of german language area: Schlachter, Metzger, Fleischer, Fleischhauer, Fleischhacker. Also other jobs/ professions have different names in different parts of german language area . A wagonmaker can be a Wagner or a Stellmacher, or a barrel ( for fluids) maker can be Küfer, Scheffler, Böttcher, Böttger, Büttner.
This sounds like an Englishman trying to speak German while his German friend is correcting him
Rabbi TransGenderBergRaceMixingStein this is basically the reason we Germans make fun of our lovely neighbors sometimes. I’ve learned the Dutch language a couple of years ago as a German native speaker, and there’s still new words that I learn in Dutch that initially still make me laugh
😅😂😂😂😂😂so accurate
@@Lukas_Kramer same we in the netherlands often refer to german as dutch on steroids.
😆😆
@@p-y8210 hahah I worked in the Netherlands for a year, but I've never heard them refer to me as that, that's hilarious :-D
I feel like Dutch was on the verge of transitioning from German to English, but got stuck midway somewhere.
Dutch is indeed very close to Frisian, a sort of sister language to English, although nowadays English and Frisian have diverged quite a bit
@@pedroalves6560
What language is Frisian ?
Pinaka Linda it’s a Language similar to Dutch spoken in Belgium
@@gudseygood3622 It's a language spoken in the northern most province of the Netherlands. I speak Flemish (variety of Dutch) and when I hear someone speaking Frisian it really sounds like Dutch from the Netherlands except I can't understand anything from it.
@@luffypirateking1068 nope that's Flemish. Frisian is the language spoken in Friesland
Edit: by the way, in Belgium they don't have an own language. Flemish is a dialect of Dutch. French and German are also spoken there.
Frisian is a distinct language though
I lived in Nederland for 4 years as a kid and Deutschland for 3 years. I really struggle to separate my vocabulary between the two.
Where do you live now?
Sweden @@islammaynul9322
Dutch is like German on the way to becoming English.
Im Dutch and im from belgium
As well it might be, given that it's a Low West Germanic language, like English but unlike Hochdeutsch.
Dutch is more similar to english than german is.
@@monteiroeduardo9338 On the whole, I would say that is true. However, German is easier to understand for English speakers because it is usually spoken more slowly and more rhythmically than Dutch.
yea sounds a bit like German words, read by an English person, with no idea about german.
So more or less how it happens every day, when an English native reads German....
Why the German has to be in a folk outfit and the rest dress normal? LOL

"How similar are the words"
"Pompoen"
"kurbis"
I think they're showing that a new word uses different origins. The dutch word comes from pumpkin, and the german from cucurbit
Lol
@@3blindhamsters acrually the English word pumkin comes from the Dutch word pompoen😉
@@pepin8277 Cool! You learn a new thing every day
Dutch to english its closer for pumpkin. However, using names for fruit and vegetables are poor comparisons. Some countries (both speaking completely different languages) used to trade and export fruit from each other, and since their ancestors did not have a name for these in their own language, they called it what the traders called it. İts 'banana' for latin and germanic people, its something like 'muz' for persians or arabs

Start learning Swedish as I did and you will find a lot of words that are similar to English ones.
Frisian is the closest to English, I think
No es bueno estudiar idiomas tan similares
@@osmanthuswinedrinker419 To say Dutch isn't like English, not even in the slightest is kind of far-fetched though. They do have similarities
dutch definitely is similar to english in lots of ways. but our grammar definitely isn’t easy. i am now 14, which means i have been dealing with the dutch language for almost 15 years. in your first 2 years (at the age of 4-5) of school you learn to socialize and build up your language. which means you are able to make senteces, but after these two years from (6-16/17/18 depends on when you finish school) the grammar is being taught every year. from your third year of school, to your last year of high school. i actually have a english teacher who came to the netherlands to teach english. he has been living in the netherlands and learning dutch for over 11 years now and he still makes some grammar mistakes. this of course doesn’t really matter, because besides the fact that he is a dick, he did come to a country completely different than his, to learn and teach. point of all of this, dutch is a hard language but if you really want to, learning can be done. the words are pretty easy to catch on and for fun it’s probably pretty interesting to check out.
Everyone: "dutch is like the child of german and english"

Hello all friends, I am a native german speaker and I like to learn and to speak foreign languages. Living in northern Germany (Lower Saxony) I understand from my parents/grandparents the "Low german language" (flat german / Plattdeutsch), in earlier time spoken in our region. Now I am learning dutch, and this is very similar to Low German and not too difficult to learn, but of course some additional words from french and some expressions which have changed the sense. By the way best greetings to all multi-language speaking folk over there. In school I learned English, French, Latin and Russian, later italian, czech, a bit of spanish and now dutch.
Dutch is basically German‘s and English‘s drunk love child.
Modern english is younger than dutch
@@mademespice4683 True. Many English words evolved from Dutch
@@user-wn3zd4ll1y *and German
@@pokergroupdigital5290 Right. I do not know why people say that Dutch is a hybrid. It is normal that it sounds like both English and German because they evolved from it...
@Teringventje Honestly, I'm from Serbia. In school we learn English and German. Some schools learn French, Spanish, Italian or Russian instead of German. But my German is not that well. Before about six months, I started with learning Dutch. I really like it and it sounds beautiful.

*NOTE: In German, ALL nouns are capitalized, including foods and animals as shown in the video. The English sentence "I like cheese" would translate to "Ich mag Käse." Note the capitalization in "Käse."
German numbers, however, are not always written with capital letters.
When writing in Dutch, most words are not capitalized. The following are cases in which capitalization is necessary:
1. At the beginning of a sentence
2. For proper nouns
Unlike English, Dutch days, months, and seasons are not capitalized.
Thanks,, 🤗
Vielendank
Ich mag Deutsch
Or the word "I" which is always capitalized in English whereas "ik" in Dutch isn't (only when it's the beginning of a sentence).
I'll be careful when ordering a beer in Holland in case the bartender gets the wrong meaning and pulls a Grizzly out from behind the bar.

Afrikaans my native language is a daughter of Dutch and I pretty much understand all the Dutch words and some German. The German for chocolate is how we pronounce in Afrikaans though.
How the dutch guy pronounced chocolate is just 1 way. People also say it how you spell it as well, I guess saying 'chocola' is the modern version but I hear the other version quite often. You wouldn't say 'chocola cake' for example here
What's up. I also speak Afrikaans.
In the Berliner dialect it is pronounced exactly like in Dutch. I reckon it is because Northern German dialects tend to be unaffected by the High German Consonant shift. In some regions of Germany "männig" is used to say "many" which is not used at all in the standard language nowadays. Also, there is the word "mang" in Northern Germany which is a cognate of "among".
I'm learning Dutch so this is helpful and interesting to see the differences lol

The old Low German language (Plattdütsch) is more similar to the Dutch language. Written German (Standard German) is more of an artificial language that has only existed since the 15/16th century. (the letters ö, ü, ä in Low German sounds oe, ue, ae). I learned Low German (Plattdütsch) from my grandparents and parents.

Both languages seem to be very similar. As a Russian native speaker, I'd say it's like Russian and Ukrainian, mutually intelligible. But Dutch seems to have a similarly with English also.

I’m dutch and one of my friends is from Germany and he just talks German and I Dutch and we can understand each other almost perfectly. But when we can’t we just put some English in there and everything’s fine lmao
Linguistic fastinating subject. Aren't German, Dutch, Scandinavian ones like Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, plus English collectively referred to as Germanic languages. Correct me if I am wrong.
@@kmsoh5585 I guess they are. But Dutch and German have many of the same words but a different pronounce. So it’s pretty easy to make one plus one= two

*Goes to Netherlands*
Me: I want beer because it's tasty
Servent: ok
*Gives a bear*
I loved it! I'm currently trying to teach myself some dutch, and this video taught me a lot
Goed bezig!
In the Netherlands, many people pronounce the "r" like this guy, but other people pronounce it like the german guy 🤣
Yeah apparently the French started that and it became at some point "in" to speak that way. Hence nowadays most Germans use that r sound, while people speaking dialects from remoter areas still use the "old" r like the Dutch in the video (e.g. in the city of cologne you have the French r in the dialect, however in the Bergischen, The "mountainous" area right next to it, you still have the old r
The further you go down in the Netherlands, the less of the “rolling R” (the kind of “R”the Dutch guy uses) gets used. I’m from the south, and I pronounce my “R’s” more or less like the German dude lol...
@@boahkeinbockmehr That's interesting! I didn't know that.
Because of the accents you mean south accent vs northern accent i speak northern accent btw
In the east how more the R is spoken like the German.
진짜 두 언어가 비슷하네요.

They both are good at 3:36 "acting" 😂🤣
The german dude looks like he is correction the poor "german" of the dutch lol
😂😂😂😂exactly
I think learning dutch would be easy learning as a native English speaker but I feel learning German would benefit me more.
German is cooler
I actually think german would be easier for english people
@@onebigsnowball really? How is that
Im german and I can say german id easy
I'm from England and I feel like Dutch is an English person trying to speak German haha! I'm still trying to decide which to learn Dutch or German, I love both (:
German is more difficult because of the grammatical cases. E.g. in Dutch 'the apple' translates to 'de appel' no matter the sentence, but in German it can be 'der Apfel', 'des Apfels', 'dem Apfel' or 'den Apfel'. That's also why my German sucks despite being Dutch and thus speaking a similar language.
@@brightblue2415 interesting, two of my favourite countries are the Netherlands and Belgium, love them, so i'd adore to learn Dutch, but I also have German ancestry so not sure! :p
@@KittyNeptune learn dutch first. Then use it as a stepping stone to learn german.
English and dutch share or have similar vocabulary.
Sausage in Dutch sounds EXACTLY like in my language (Estonian) 😊. We just write it with v (vorst).
There are three kinds of German:
1. Oberdeutsch (Upper German)
2. Mitteldeutsch (Middle German)
3. Niederdeutsch (Low German)
Oberdeutsch (Upper German) and Mitteldeutsch (Middle German) are also called Hochdeutsch (High German).
Dutch belongs to Low German and German belongs to High German. In older English literature, Dutch was called Low Dutch and German was called High Dutch. These old terms can be found in Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels".
1:35 “beer” xd *imagine a Dutch asking a beer 🍺 in English”
And pronunciation of "Bier" = beer in German
Mein Sprache ist Spanisch aber ich Weiss Spreche in Deutsch und ein Bisschen Englisch
But suddendly a random bear appears
Well since we're the best non-native English speaking country in the world that won't be a problem I think
Bier is Dutch for 🍻
I don't why I am laughing maybe because I have read some hilarious comments from previous videos and can't unsee it now
Please make more language vs. Language.
In South Africa we have Afrikaans.. Way similar to Dutch
0:54 in het Vlaams spreken we het zelfde uit als het Duitse guy 😂

The last Character in your user name is katakana for tsu, right?
i’m german and i’m currently learning dutch so i hope it won’t be too difficult 🥲
You can do it, neighbour! Succes :)
Why their face is like sweating but trying to smiling at the same time lol
I had no idea how similar Dutch and English are!
Dutch is like English plus German haha
@TheRenaissanceman65 das Wort: dutch ist ein sehr altes englisches Wort. Als es aufkam bezeichnete es alle kontinental-westgermanischen Dialekte. Es gab zu dieser Zeit weder ein Standard-Niederländisch noch ein Standard-Deutsch. Dies Wort führt heute zu Missverständnissen, aber als es aufkam, war es kein Fehler. Übrigens bezeichneten die Niederländer ihre eigene Sprache bis etwa 1850 sehr oft als nederdiuts ! Seit dem 2. Weltkrieg sind viele Niederländer darauf erpicht, die Ähnlichkeit zum Deutschen zu verneinen und zum Englischen zu betonen. Das ist zwar sehr verständlich wegen der historischen Erfahrung, aber auch etwas albern.
No, English is like Dutch
Dutch is similar but grammar is more complicated and some words hard to pronounce
Old English is simliair to old Dutch, old English used a lot of Dutch words. So, therefore a lot of Dutch words in the English language

From the point of view of the modern local dialects, the territory within which German and Dutch are spoken is a single speech area. It is possible to travel from Austria, northern Italy, and much of Switzerland into Germany, eastern France (Alsace and part of Lorraine), Luxembourg, northern Belgium, and the Netherlands without encountering a village where the local speech is suddenly different. The only sharp breaks occur when one enters the French-speaking parts of France and Belgium or the Frisian-speaking parts of the Netherlands and Germany.
The most striking dialect differences within this large area are those that divide Dutch-Low German in the lowlands of the north from High German in the highlands of the south.
that german guy doesnt really speak like you would speak in a real conversation, he is overextending the syllables
Dutch is literally English people trying to speak german
Ok but Dutch sounds way more polite than German. It's way less hard.
@@Duraith dutch always sounds like the people speaking it have something stuck in their throat
@@t4in_ German always sounds like you're about to hit a child for going to bed 2 minutes after bed time
@@Duraith and thats how it should be
@@t4in_ nice
As Dutch person i also speak german and when i started studying german their are a lot of words similar from the Dutch to the German language. There are also a lot of german words in our Dutch language. not only German, there is also French, Turkish and English words in the Dutch. That’s why the Dutch language is probably not a hard language to speak. But the rules to it are fucking annoying.
Lmao Dutch is terribly hard to learn... Vocabulary is one thing, grammar, and verb conjugation in Dutch are super hard for non-native learners. Dutch also uses a lot of sounds not used in many languages which makes it hard to correctly pronounce for non-native speakers...
@@haveaniceday4585 at least there are only 8 tenses...
Turkish words? As a Turkish I’m curious. Can you give some examples?
how the fuck do i use de and het and where the heck do i put niet and geen
@@ilaldkxb hmm, niet would be not. Hij is niet snel. => He is not fast. And geen would be no. Hij heeft geen snelheid. => He has no speed.
Its funny how there are so many similarities but still sooo many words that are complete different or even more related to english
0:55 In the Dutch guy said chocola not chocolade. They can both be used.
