Though, I'm actually of the opinion that heavy declension makes a language easier, because for me the hardest thing about learning a new language has always been the vocabulary (I usually take to the grammatical rules very quickly), and a heavily declined language has less need for prepositions (especially when you've got a case like instrumental, which can completely replace multiple prepositions), which then slightly eases the vocabulary burden.

1:20 As a French young, I must disagree. We would never put our life at risk to go to school. However it looks like some parents would risk their child’s life.
As a non native German speaker the reason why they have so many “the” s is that they have masculine feminine & neuter genders and they also have different prepositions like nomitive dative genitive & Infinitive, I may have misspelt something in there but eh
If you look closely you can see there are actually only 6 forms of the. Only der, die, das, den, dem, des. And you probably mean different cases not prepositions. The cases are nominative, accusative, dative and genetive. English has them too except accusative and dative are one.

The number of forms of "the" depends on the number of different and distinct Genera (grammatical genders) in Singular+Plural multiplied with the amount of grammatical cases a language has. For German, that's (3+1)*4=16, thought the actual words frequently overlap. For Dutch, it's (2+0)*1 I guess. For Slavic languages it's (3+x)*7 if I'm not mistaken, not sure how they handle plural.
@@Alias_Anybody Gender and case in slavic language isn't really that different than in other european languages. We(most slavic languages) don't have articles, but other words like pronouns and adjectives stil inflect by case and gender. For instance in Polish "my small dog" would be "mój mały pies", meanwhile "my small parrot" would be "moja mała papuga", because the word "pies" is masculine and "papuga" feminine. Same with cases the acussitive case of the phrase "my small dog" would be "mojego małego psa" and for the parrot phrase it'd be "moją małą papugę".
7:40 There's actually a 4th one, l', which is used instead of le or la and is added to the word if the word starts with a vowel or an h (with some exceptions like hockey, which is le hockey. The h is still silent)

The Europlug is by far the best ungrounded plug and almost universal outside the US with its total crap plugs and a few others, but when they made grounding a requirement above a certain wattage, the designs splintered all over the globe. Some are better, some are worser. The modern German plugs and sockets are IMNSHO the best because they're symmetric on both axes, so you don't have to pay much attention to how you're putting plugs into sockets, but others are fine, too, and I just wish we got back on track toward one standard. I don't know what's more annoying, that you can't make sockets that fit all the descendants of the Europlug, or that you totally could make ones that fit several of those, yet nobody does, not even in Europe - grids united in voltage, divided by plugs.
Ahemm "... descendants of the Europlug ... " - you are implying that the UK (and Ireland) have plugs descended from "the Europlug" - not true although we do have the same voltage and frequency as the rest of the European continent. As for "...most widely used ... " again not really true - certainly they are widely used in Europe but not "most widely used" in the world ! PRC uses mostly the same plug as Australia and British BS1363 plugs are used by many countries (total population around 600m although not all have electricity) such as Malaysia, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, many African, Arabian and other countries (e.g. Ireland, Malta, Cyprus etc). US plugs are used in Canada, Japan, Taiwan and many other countries in the Americas. If you want to be really pedantic then the type "D" plugs used in India and South Africa are based on BS 546 however they also used the two pin Euro C plug a bit and the BS546 standard doesn't have insulation on the pins so I will keep quiet about that one ! My point is that the world is a big place with many standards so let the market decide - the European continent is a small but important part of that. 😃

7:52 in sweden we dont even have a word for "The". We usually just put "en" after the word (and to everyone google transelating "the" from english to swedish to se iff im right. "De" is NOT a word in swedish).
Meanwhile Latin didn't use any articles, which is probably for the better because it had like upwards of 60 cases.
6:51 The AI may have not noticed the l in one of the times you said flag
2:01 Denmark the happiest nation?
7:53 Only sixteen? They're like 50 in the greek language
I mean Carnival is still a thing, Halloween is just spookier I guess 🤔
There are some spooky traditions as well tough, like Krampus and Perchten(lauf) and other I do not know off because I never really researched that deep.
Ngl, Great Finland seems like an awesome idea!
before the curve you have Finland, with as their "the"
7:47 fun fact in austrian we have like 1-3 not 20
1:07 yes we do like to
In Dutch you have: de, het, een
That's 3 options, not 2
The french has a fourth word for “the” and it only happens if the next word starts with a vowel and it looks like “l’”
4:47 as a brazilian i wouldnt say that...
(edit): ohhhh i know why they said they despize us, its because we were thinking that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but at that moment they forgor that they hate argentina more than us vecause they dont ecen think abkut them.
2:32 as a dane tbh i don't see the fun in halloween denmark and other Northern Europe countrys all ready have something similar called "Fastelavn" i danish and in the olden days you would even go trick or treting and you dress up BUT its not scary and doesnt give me childhood trauma
Love Halloween
Last to like Drew Durnil with a buzz cut is a rotten egg😄
