I needed a break after speedrunning Hungarian and Klingon, and Esperanto was exactly what I needed. It's a very easy language, created artificially to be easily learned by a vast group of speakers of other languages, especially in Europe. Duolingo let us get quite far ahead in very little time, this time, but it always comes up with little surprises. Learning languages is indeed a time-consuming time, but not as much when you are SPEEDRUNNING, and when you're doing it in ESPERANTO!

90% of learning esperanto is just roots, the other 10 is suffixes.
Fun fact: Learning Esperanto was banned in Nazi Germany, but the guards didn't notice it because they thought they were speaking Italian.
I can believe that 😂
@@jccbm which part?
@@kaijoswilman That they thought they were speaking Italian
@@jccbm "The teaching of Esperanto was not allowed in German prisoner-of-war camps during World War II. Esperantists sometimes were able to get around the ban by convincing guards that they were teaching Italian, the language of Germany's closest ally."
OH and we can't forget how badly Stalin cracked down on it. Oh that was not a fun time.
If you log in as if you speak Spanish, you will have the Catalan language available.
And Guarani too :)
Don't worry, I know 👀
If you are in for a life of pain try to learn the 3 languages that are only origin languages (aka done the opposite way). Try learning thai, bengali, or tagalog using the thai, bengali, or tagalog to english courses 🤣
@@glhf5441 That's actually a good Idea Lol
@@LordVeloce7not anymore it disaperd
I love this language, been learning it for almost a year on Duolingo (but most of the time it was only 15 minutes a day), including some breaks. Esperanto (to me at least) is some kind of a gateway to all major European languages and it certainly is helping me now with my progress in French.
Yes , I speak a little bit of French and there’s so many similar words
EXACTLY! Mi ankau lernas esperanto sur duolingo. 6 months so far!
@@prashasti598
Mi havas korekto por vi: "per Duolingo" ne "sur Duolingo"
"Sur" havas sencon en tiu frazo laŭ parolantoj de l' anglo, sed por kelkaj parolantoj de aliaj lingvoj ĝi eble ne havas tiel. Por internacia kompreneblo, mi rekomendas ke uzas "Sur" kiel la signifo de esti sur io fizike kaj ne figure aŭ kiam implicante uzado de io. Mi amas helpi lernantojn de Esperanto do mi esperas ke tiu vin helpis.
Fun fact: _Esperanto_ means _the hopeful one_ in Esperanto.
esperi = to hope
The -ant suffix makes it a person (lerni = to learn, lernanto = pupil)
and the -o suffix makes it a noun.
Not exactly. -ul makes a person or English "one" of something. -ant is a present active participate.
@@SKrandy You're right. Back then I wasn't that far into the Duolingo course yet.
@@SKrandy True, but -anto in particular is almost always a person doing an action and hence applied to a verb, while -ul is applied to an adjective and denotes a person with a certain characteristic, e.g. bel-ul-in-o = pretty woman (bela = pretty, beautiful; -in = woman).
@@SKrandyso it's like "the hoping one" or smth like that?
@@bitmelody2616 Yes. (In present tense; past tense would be esper-int-o [one who hoped], future tense esper-ont-o [one who will hope])
this channel is unbelievably underrated
Esperanto is an amazing and useful language and I recommend everyone to learn it! I've spoken to people from Africa Europe and Asia who I would've never met without Esperanto! Besides international benefits it will also teach you how languages (mostly just European languages) work and will make learning other languages easier. Mi amas❤ Esperanton!!!
Useful? Like seriously? No one speaks this language.
@@stephen3143141 Not as useful as English or Spanish but it definitely has speakers!
@@stephen3143141Actually a lot of people do. More than I reaized
@@stephen3143141 2 million people more than learning 0 new languages, also the stepping stool for learning other romance languages is immense
@@stephen3143141 Obviously dude, this person is simply saying that learning this language makes it easier to learn a lot of other languages..
It's quite useful if you are truly interested in what you're studying, I highly recommend it.
Adiaŭ ❤
Was really looking forward to this! Ŝajnas, ke vi amuziĝis pere de nia stranga lingvo :)
Also, a lot of research has been done regarding Esperanto's "propaedeutic" effect-that is, how learning Esperanto as your first foreign language will make it easier to learn other languages, and not just Esperanto's source languages (French, Italian, Latin, English, German, Polish etc). Due to how regular/fixed Esperanto's grammar is, learning grammar patterns in natural languages becomes a lot less intimidating for new learners. It won't help with things like grammatical gender, of course, but it's fascinating to look into.
I highly suggest checking out Tim Morley's TED talk, "Learn Esperanto First", which covers this more!
I'll give it a look! Thanks
Knaboj sounds for me as a German speaker pretty similar to "Knabe" which is an old word for boy
That's exactly where it comes from! It's also related to an archaic word in English, "knave", which Shakespeare used quite a bit in Othello.
10:23 And you can shorten it to just l', for example de la -> de 'l. Especially in poetry and songs.
18:39 Potato in Esperanto is terpomo, litteraly earth apple.
Nice! Thanks for the info
*La and the ending -O of words can ONLY be shortened in poetry and songwriting. It's not allowed outside of that context. And the noun ending CANNOT be shortened if it's conjugated with -n and/or -j, as it's necessary for word building in that situation.
@@Kalmaro4152 Ul’, kio? What are you talking about? It surely is not so common in everyday speech but it does happen. You're the first person to tell me that I can't do so and I'm not gonna listen to you lol
And who was talking about replacing -n and -j??
Amo esto, creo que descargaré duolingo y veré si me puedo saltar el primer capítulo gracias a ti, he aprendido bastante. Gracias ❤
18:06 Since you mentioned that "schätzen" means "to appriciate" in German, here's a fun fact: "ŝatas" actually used to mean "appriciate" too! In the 60s or 70s, it started to change to "like", probably becuase of the lack of a distinction between "like" and "love". (They were both "amas") It fascinates me how even a constructed language, though much more slowly, can change!
Interesting! I've noticed how because of English the Spanish word "canal" and Esperanto "kanalo" changed from a channel for water to a RUclips channel
@@carsonpiano1true! Not to mention many words that develop due to the influence of the Internet culture. Memeo, animeo, mangao etc. And of course "ri" (non-binary pronoun) and other strange things that many people are actually using in their daily esperanto life
Esperanto is supposed to be a universal auxilery language. The dude who made it did it because he wanted to unite the world. It was made to be super easy to learn compared to other languages. It had 16 rules and was made to have no exceptions. Its mostly roots with preffixes suffixes and modifiers to make new words. I saw something were if you know 1600 root words its equivalent to 20k english words. Its history is very interesting if you look into it.
And yet it fails in its goals entirely. The only natural language with a compatible phonetic inventory is Polish. Guess where the creator of Esperanto is from. Guess. Its orthography is objectively terrible, and it preserves the cultural hegemony build into the most widely spoken natural languages. It's nowhere near easy to learn and is less effective at communicating than any natural language.
I know people are entitled to their opinions, but the Esperanto detractor here is wrong in everything he wrote. Hard to even know where to begin.
@@SnoFitzroy Lmao
You clearly have no idea what you're talking abour...
Well Esperanto was doing well in the beginning of 20th century. If not for Stalin, Hitler and the Second WW in general, we might be living in a world close to what dr. Zamenhof imagined. At least the Esperanto community survived what was happening and kept the language alive to our days
@@SnoFitzroy >nowhere near easy to learn
Maybe stop suffering from a linguistic skill issue, stulto

Hey bro nice video, I speak Esperanto and I laughed a lot,
And I have a cuestion for you, where are you from ?
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I'm from Venezuela
La pli mi lernas esperanton, la pli mi povas paroli la lingvon. Mi vere ŝatas Esperanton!
Mi ekas malfeliĉigi vin iomete, sed "la pli" oni konsideras malĝustan Esperanton. Kio anstataŭe estas ĝusta estas diri "ju pli, des pli", sed mi konsentus, ke diri dufoje "la pli" estus tre pli simple.

Incredible! As i natively speak German, learned English, French, Latin and Greek in school, i basically understand 95% straight away ;). Guess I'm gonna look into this a bit more in the future :)

Man ive been waiting for this one.
Glad to hear that! Hope it delivered 🤣
too
This is the most elegant form of art I’ve ever seen.
Great video, I like that you are not as judgemental of it as people often are, since you can appreciate how nice it is to have everything so regular :)
Also, the editing is fire, the memes make it fun to watch
By the way, you are correct about the lexicon, it is mostly taken from romance languages (because Latin and then French were the international languages at the time when Esperanto was created, and because many languages had words from Latin and French)
Claude Pirion has a great write up about the language that is summed up as "It acts like Chinese, but using European words"
Tre bona video! :)
Well yeah cheese lover 🧀, in next season you will fight with ZULU language in duolingo, i know that THE LION KING movie in ZULU language was so famous it's crazy
I like that I kinda practiced the language while watching a guy speedrunning what took me around 3 months..
im only partway in but esperanto does have accusative cases cant wait to see when he figures this out >:3
What made you want to learn Esperanto?
@@a1t3rn4t3 I wanted to learn an obscure language. Why? Adhd. It’s been 15 months tho so I’m pretty proficient in it I’d say
👀
@@5thkiechannel oh okay!
@@5thkiechannel As an Esperantist of four years and someone with severe ADHD, Esperanto is indeed very ADHD-friendly!

14:08 I suppose it might be since las- was already taken ( _lasi_ = to leave (smth somewhere), like the French _lasser_ )
Love this language!
I'm fluent in esperanto, so when you get one wrong I scream
Ĉiuj estis komencanto, ĉu ne? (Mi ne estas flua en la lingvo, sed mi opinias, ke mi estas bona.)

Yo new video!
Oh tomate es pomodoro porque cuando llegaron en 1400 y algo a Italia llegaron amarillos/dorados (inmaduros) y como parecía una manzana le llamaron pome o pomme di oro y fue evolucionando hasta quedar como pomodoro. Sé que manzana es mela pero eso decía en el curso de italiano al menos.
I find Esperanto quite a useful language:)
It kinda reminds me of a romance "interlingua" I heard on RUclips. But not strictly romance hehehe
Not just useful but among the easiest to speak it. I will give you one example.
Ĉu vi povas paroli esperanton? ĉar mi povas paroli kaj skribi ĝin. Vi povas fari ĝin ankoraû. (Can you speak Esperanto? Because I can speak and write it. You can do it too.)
Dankon!
19:09 fun fact: in Ukraine, there is a popular e-bank called Monobank. And thanks to this video, I finally know where the name comes from
Yay, new "jek-buum" video!
Hehehe
You have very nice pronunciation (vi elparolas esperanton tre bele)
@4:15 NOT THE VALORANT ACE hahahahah
Granda - big
Malgranda - small
Grandeco - size
There’s more with the grand root for words like “grow”
I'm an Esperanto speaker, and you make this language seem as easy to learn as the propaganda claim it is 😂
😂 I think it's a perfect example of how relatively easy/dificult a language can get based on your first language or knowledge of other related languages. The romance and latin influence is waaay too heavy.
@@jccbm Esperanto is pretty easy to learn, but some claim you can learn it in hours. With you, it really does look like you learned it in hours 🙂
@@johano-go Hahahah, next episode we will see exactly how long it took!
@@jccbm Please do! I would really like to know how fast one can actually learn it. I know a guy who mastered it after 6 weeks.

It's Duolingo around a year ago 🤣

How are you on old duolingo?
This was done live in 2022 😅
What language level can I speak after completing the Esperanto course on Duolingo?
I'd say B1 or B2
14:25
Bro
It just combine latin languages:
,,Ni" comes from ,,Noi", which means ,,we" in romanian
,,Iras" is the person I future form of the french verb ,,aller" which means ,,(to) go"
,,Al la" comes from ,,à la" which means ,,to the" in french.
(And parko comes from lithuanian)
Yeah that's exactly what it does. Germanic and latin languages just put together
"Welcome to Blendtec's "WILL IT BLEND?""!
Most of Esperanto's root words comes from Romance and Germanic words, but the grammar is more a mix of Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan and Semitic grammar
Also Esperanto takes only 250 to 400 hours to learn. It's almost an average language but way easier and more regular than basically every natural language
Formatge is cheese in Catalan
i started this series so excited for the hebrew one, and of course it's the last one you film 😂
🤣🤣🤣 sorry, it was the wheel's fate
So bela means beautiful and malbela means ugly (cause "mal" makes it the opposite) in that case malmalbela also means beautiful? 🤔
I guess so, but it's like saying "I have - (-2) eyes". Just makes no sense 🤣
Yes!
fromago is cheese in Esperanto
fromaĝo - mind the "hat", there are many similar words in Esperanto, which only differ in one letter or even supersign: pizo piso piĉo pico paco peco etc., or kaĉo kaco kaĝo kaso kazo - some words are indecent, if you mix them...
Unfortunately, this mass [or mess] of different s-sounds makes the language too difficult for some, while for others this creates additional joy. Clear and precise pronunciation is important.
3:30 Like the Polish 'c' because the inventor Zamenhof was Polish.
Mi multe ĝuis vian filmeton.

What is the easiest one?
Probably Toki Pona
@@jccbm Certainly not. Because of the limited vocabulary of 120 basic words, every further one has to be a combination of them. That means, the difficulty just changes into another level or area than conjugation/declension/pronunciation, and the result no more resembles known languages. Therefore, you could also learn Volapük, Klingon or Sindarin...
@@brilanto I've done Klingon. It certainly was... a language.
I’d like this language a lot more if it incorporated more Slavic and Germanic, and had less syllables
Eu também, para aprender inglês seria melhor, para quem fala línguas românticas!
😢
i can't wait to see him struggle to pronounce the Zulu words😼 its gonna be so much fun for me
I appreciate the simplicity of Esperanto, but for some reason it doesn't appeal to me. I think it's the "la [adj]-a [noun]-o" that sounds weird and counter-intuitive to me. And having all the nouns end in -o gets a bit repetitive and boring... Also, saying "malgranda" and "malvarma" for small and cold respectively is a good idea in theory but I find that confusing in practice.
What's the first easiest language in the world? I thought Esperanto was the first.
Probably toki pona
@@kasu8360 a. 🤔 Mi sona.
@@kasu8360 I mean, I could also argue that Toki Pona is harder because of how few words it has. It's very difficult to understand what people are saying, it's very difficult to translate things.
@@CalebHussey that's true, it's easy to learn but insanely hard to use practically, I remember that toki pona allows for the creation of words, but I dunno if that is done a lot, I'm still pretty new to conlanging so yeah lol, I dunno a whole lot in general-

There is an easier language. It is named Toki Pona.
Toki Pona is barely a language. More so an artistic project
@@kiwenmanisuno Barely a language?? What makes Esperanto a "language" that leaves Toki Pona as "barely one"?
@@BeardedMan8319 it was like 3 AM when i wrote that i regret it. sorry
@@BeardedMan8319 It is barely a language because it has too few roots (words with fixed meaning), and all the rest of the meanings should be constantly conveyed using metaphors for what you are trying to say. For example, there is no root word for "coffee", so you should invent a description like "black energizing liquid" or something like that, which could also mean Coke and other kinds of drinks. I don't like Toki Pona for that reason; it is mentally demanding to constantly invent metaphors for even simple meanings, and it is also mentally demanding to constantly try to correctly infer a specific meaning just from context and not from roots. For a language that is supposedly designed to relax the minds of its speakers, it really feels like constantly inventing and solving puzzles for any conversation that involves concepts that are just a bit complex.
@badespersnto Other than kijetesantakalu, the words in Toki Pona are very small.
Uhh in what way is Esperanto "easy"??? Let alone the "second easiest in the world"??? Its grammar and phonotactics are far more complicated than English, and the ONLY natural language with a compatible phonetic inventory is Polish.
Like unless you're trying to say that English and Toki Pona are tied, Esperanto is WELL BELOW second place.
One of these days Esperantists will have their self-importance corrected. Looks like it's not today tho.
I fail to see how Esperanto grammar is harder. It's incredibly consistent and structured with minimal basic changes and very simple rules. English is plagued with irregularities especially in past tense/participle conjugations and plural formation. Other than the application of the accusative case (in a very simple manner), Esperanto checks every single box in simplicity.
Phonetically, English is probably one of the messiest languages out there, it's a well known fact and a meme at this point. That said, I would never consider English a very difficult language when compared to most others, but Esperanto beats it in basically every single rubric. It's literally handmade to be simple, structured, logical and heavily supported in well known vocabulary from other common languages.
"It's grammar and phonotactics are way more complicted than English." English has over 10 tenses. Esperanto has 3. And every sentence in Esperanto is based on strict rules. Do you have an idea how many irregular words are in English?
And you think phonotactics of English are easy? It isn't compatible with almost any other language too. There is a reason why every country has a distinct English accent, which is not the case with Esperanto.
And don't even get me started on the spelling inconsistencies. Pronunciation is so inconsistent that you can't determine if a given word is spelled as it's pronounced or not. Additionally, when a new word is crafted in the English language, even native speakers can't agree on their pronunciations. GIF is a good example, along with names made up for game characters.

Gosh, it's better to learn Latin then Esperanto.
The Latin course on Duolingo is so limited tho.
Why? Esperanto is spoken by more people and easier. Maybe if you're catholic
Latin is only somewhat useful if you're a scientist or a doctor. Esperanto is very easy but has the same benefits as learning difficult languages
Basically it's like how you learned a recorder to later learn the flute. Esperanto is the recorder
