Julia forgot to mention that "pasta" also means "toothpaste"
Mas no caso seria “creme dental” e não “pasta de dente”
@@acciomess depende da região, aq no RN ninguém diz creme dental
@@Marina-pb1oq pra mim pasta vai sempre ser macarrão kkkk. A mãe de uma amiga me zoava porque pra ela “creme” é para cabelo e não para dente
But only if its followed by "de dente". Pasta by itself means "folder" but it can also mean "paste" if you're talking about food, like the mixture of dry ingredients with water or some other sort of liquid.
@@acciomessacho que absolutamente ninguém fala "creme dental", talvez só os dentistas
Omg, That’s good, I'm going to have lunch while watching Julia with her joy
Hahaha, man, I thought i was the only one who was watching world friends while eating 🤠
Julia always making me happy
Whoever had the idea for this video deserves a raise.
They already did this kind of video i think but with different countries
I see Julia.
I click.
I happy.
Jula : Many people call me high tension.
Yeah we can see why
Wow, the American girl is so beautiful. She must be a model.
siiiimp
@@rubenel7993 It's normal to find women pretty as a man. Dissing human normality is dissing yourself.
What's her insta 👀
Agreed, she's very naturally pretty. I'm thinking she has a lot of German ancestry, but I might be biased.
@@SyiepherzeEmmalittlebit
Brazil has so many words like that...
Shopping, Pendrive, Notebook, Print/Print Screen, Home Office, Show, Brother, Drop/Dropar, Tank/Tankar, Flash, Look, Slide, Datashow...
And recently the expression "Job/Do job" has becoming more and more commom.
The difference is that some of these are the correct words.
The video is about the odd ones that make no sense in english, like calling a laptop computer a notebook, a shopping mall just shopping or shopping center, calling a screenshot a "print" because of the key we use to take a screenshot was once used to send the terminal buffer on old computers to the printer. All others you mentioned are being used correctly.
@@rogercruz1547 We call laptops notebooks in the US as well. It's not super common though, it's a bit of a dated term. I think it was much more common in the 80s and 90s.
We Malaysian also called pendrive because our local brand
@@boboboy8189 You're telling me americans don't call a pendrive "pendrive"? Are we still talking about removable usb solid state storage memory chip devices?
Thumb sticks, flash drives, etc...
'Smoking' probably derives from the item of clothing known as a 'smoking jacket' which was in fashion in the late 19th and early 20th century.
'Bunk' or 'bunk off' is used in the U.K in a similar manner.
'Passing out' being used in India to signify a person graduating from school or college is probably linked to the British military carrying out a 'passing out parade' to mark the graduation of a soldier or military officer from their training.
'Pasta' Being used to describe a 'folder' or 'clipboard' could be because they are made of dense cardboard which in the past could be described as 'paste board'.
I think in many other languages a tuxedo is called smoking because it was a type of tuxedo or an actual word for smoking or a suit meant for smoking. In German tuxedo is also Smoking.
Yeah, she keeps spreading misinformation on this channel, it's insane. The whole reason why Brazil uses this word is because it's been a word all over Europe for a century before it even reached Brazil.
Yeah, in Spanish it's called esmoquin and it comes from smoking jacket
In Dutch we also use smoking for tuxedo
Same in French
Same in Russian
Julia como sempre a melhor. Melhor representante do Brasil nesse canal de todos os tempos
A Ana também é muito legal só que de uma forma completamente diferente, as duas seriam complementares.
All the words that Julia mentioned are used in the same context in Portugal, with exactly the same meaning. As a Portuguese it was very interesting to learn about those similarities between Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.
In french we also say smoking to refer to suit sometimes
In the US we have an article of clothing called a "smoking jacket"--something you would wear while hanging out and smoking. I wonder if the Brazilian and French slang came from that.
@@AlbertHardyJr It's not slang at all. It is educated speech. It's used by higher social classes.
Supposedly, a Japanese restaurant owner visited Sweden and loved the smörgåsbords there, so he opened a buffet back home and called it "Viking."
Yes, I’m an English teacher in Brazil 🇧🇷 and the students always get chocked and confused with some words like:
Mall (Shopping in Brazil)
Laptop (Notebook in Brazil)
Concert (Show in Brazil)
What kind of certification is needed to become an English teacher in Brazil? I have no experience but want to get TEFL. Do you think that would help?
@@semprefidelis76 There are websites where you can do the TEFL online for quite reasonable prices. Having a TEFL will make you a certified English teacher everywhere, not just in Brazil.
Now im first, hi dear julia.
Julia always makes me happy ❤❤❤❤
She is a cool girl
Julia❤❤
In Spanish, we say smoking for tuxedos, too. It was so confusing to find "no smoking" signs in some places. I didn't understand why you wouldn't be allowed to wear a tuxedo there 🤣
ah, in german we also say "smoking" to the tuxedo.
2:10 "high tension person" i think in Brazil would mean "ligado no 220". (plugged on 220 V).
Good to see julia and the new crew
English in each country is already so resignified in phrases and details that native and non-native Anglophones no longer understand each other in the world, English has become the language of insanity and cultural confusion that is truly and without cure.
I loved the cute and cute video with these charming models.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
The Indian girl is pretty charismatic. I liked her.
In spanish (at least in Mexico) we use the word "bracket" for this things dentist use to fix teeth that I recently discovered are called "braces" in english, and apparently "bracket" means a completely different thing.
That's really interesting! In Portugal many dentists use "bracket" for "braces". I love finding out similarities between languages!
In Brazil we also call them brackets
The brazilian girl is pretty
Indian lady is so pretty 😗
You can also say I “ditched” class. And penguin suit is also a slang for tuxedo!
If Julia has it, I need to watch it
We say "bunk" in the UK too when you skip school.
Most of the people click this video only for "Julia"❤
Well, I guess we use show as concert too, and I always find it difficult to remember the concert word when im speaking to my friends because in Portuguese we have a similar word that means fix (Concert = Concerto, Fix = Conserto)
just a note: english uses "fix" for:
1 putting something back together in a way that it works
2 attaching something to another more stable thing
3 compromise competitive integrity
while in portuguese those would be:
1 consertar
2 fixar
3 pre-combinar / trapacear
julia vc é incrivel 😊💛💚💙
9:24 we use smoking for a tuxedo in Dutch too. Granted, there is a pure Dutch word too (maatpak), but no one I know would ever use that word
Parinka is beeaauuutiifull 🥰🫨🫶🏽
Korean Girl,stolen my heart
The Tuxedo was a suit worn by American men who attended the Tuxedo Club in Tuxedo Park, New York.
It was the dress rule for men. It became synonymous with ‘black-tie’ events as the top choice for male formal attire.
Other languages described it as a ‘Smoking Jacket’. And eventually just shortened it to Smoking.
Julia, you're amazing!
Some Brazilian pseudoEnglish terms are used in Spain with the same meaning ("fashion" as stylish, "smoking" as tuxedo).
"Pasta" (Italian, not English by the way) apart from food and paste, is used as a colloquial term for money.
We have our "own pseudoEnglish":
· míster (from "mister") meaning "coach/trainer" instead of "gentleman/sir"
· braslip (from "bra slip") meaning "briefs"
· friki (from "freaky") meaning "nerd/geek" instead of actually "freak"
· flipar (from "to flip") meaning "to get amazed" instead of "to turn over"
· mítin (from "meeting") meaning "political speech/assembly" instead of actually "any gathering"
· footing meaning "jogging/running" instead of "foundation"
· office meaning "picking/washing up glasses in a bar as a job"
There must be a lot more...
In Serbia we also say smoking
Almost all European countries do. This Brazilian girl needs a reality check.
@@andyx6827 chill out dude. one mistake (of not knowing how other countries speaks) doesn't mean she needs a "reality check".
@@andyx6827 When she says that ONLY BRAZILIANS call smoking?
@@gffg387 Lol. She is doing stuff like this all the time in all videos. She is spreading misinformation like no other on this channel. All that while being ultra confident. She does need a reality check, sorry not sorry.
@@danielmarques70966 When did I say that she said that? 🙄 Bruh. The point is that she goes "We called it like that because we thought blabla". No. You called it like that because you copied it from Germany & France and literally all other European languages. Simple as that. She is completely unaware of where her country got its words from.
"I'm going to the hearse" 😂😂 7:16
I can't believe they didn't talk about "notebook". It means "laptop" in Brazil.
I'm not from Brazil but I do remember specific laptops being called notebooks in English (at least where I'm from?), though the last time I heard it being used in this way was maybe 15 ish years ago
@@Syiepherze Maybe it can be why it started! But in our case all laptops are called notebooks, even in the stores and everything. It's not even a slang, it's official 😅
Nótibúqui ou lépitópi 😂😂
In Malaysia, we called it both. If someone go to computer shop and said notebook, shop will understand it
We use laptop instead of notebook in daily conversation.
This is a very interesting theory I have for the word 'Viking' in Japanese. 😂🙈They use it to refer to the buffet maybe because when you eat at a buffet, you are basically raiding all the food stations, something that the Vikings did, raiding people for their money and place. LOL
in Ukraine we are using "Smoking" for tuxedo as well I suppose it's British origin smoking suit, jacket, whatever but to be sure we need real Brit for that :)
Yup, British men had 'smoking jackets' that they would wear outside. They later made 'dinner jackets' for inside. Germany & France then started to call them "Smoking", which is why all of non-English Europe is now calling them "Smoking".
In French, "smoking" is also used to mean "tuxedo".
Julia vc é a melhor ❤❤❤❤❤
Julia is as high tension as they come no matter what meaning the different countries give it.
In the lumber industry, "punk" can sometimes be used to describe wood that has rotted naturally, the "punky" part of the tree.
I also was struck, dare I say it, "shocked" by how Emma and Ciara look like they could be cousins. Emma is very northern European looking. All the ladies are lovely, per usual.
In Texas where I live, punk can also mean a stick with something flammable on the end, used to light fuses, especially for fireworks.
To me, Emma is more Eastern European looking. Such as Polish for example. And Ciara does look Northern European. I can see that they look similar, but they have characteristics that resemble different parts in Europe.
It is called "Outdoor Billboard" so I guess it just got abbreviated differently in Brazil
Pass out and bunk have the same alternate meaning in British English. I don’t know why the English girl didn’t recognise them, maybe they are antiquated terms
I thought that the Brazilian girl was Yunjin
in Brasil,we used to say"Deletar"to erase files on computers,this came from english word - delete.
Interesting I thought it was "apagar" as well. As a Spanish speaker sometimes Portuguese causes me short circuit 😅
@@CrisOnTheInternet You can also use “apagar” in Portuguese (at least in Brazil), both are correct.
@@CrisOnTheInternet we can use"excluir"on our Operationak Systems
@@CrisOnTheInternet "Apagar" is way more common, but we use "deletar" too. In real conversations, you'll almost never hear "deletar" because that kinda sounds too technical or formal, but that's not a rule. There's also the verb "excluir" which is very common too.
@@fabricio4794 I see, obrigada pelas explicações.
Thanks for your answer. I dont read nor speak korean so i used a translator.
I think she should speak Japanese as she represents japan.
😂👏🙌🙌BRBR😎!!!
And also, in Brazil, the word "notebook" means laptop. And the USB/flash drive we call it "Pen drive"
In SEA we say pen drive too, it might be a common word for it
@Syiepherze pendrive come from a brand. Maybe first brand that produced thumb drive. My mom got her first pendrive branded name in 2005 long before people start to use it in 2007 - 2010.
smoking (tuxedo) is a shortening of 'smoking jacket'
I remember seeing that Japanese girl somewhere in Korean movie, is she really a Korean actress? ... Anyway she looks like a Korean actress...
Julia eu pensei e voce hoje e voce vice versa...eu sei..
The American girl reminds me Bridget Fonda.
Terno and smoking aren't the same thing. One is a business suit, while the other is a tuxedo.
Julia is my Crush 😊❤
First Brazilian word I learned: lereka perereka 😃
To go in viking, was to travel far from home, chasing for richness.
Finally, Julia agree to marry me🥺
So how do they call pasta (the wheat food) in Brasil?
Macarrão
In some places we use Massa (fot all types) or the specific name of the type of pasta, like spagetti, fettuccine, linguine. But Massa is use by the most places
Okay your videos are amazing but i wanna see jashuaaaaaa😂😂
9:06 smoking is the same in Hungarian
Punk and Punky seems to be the same pronunciation in Brazil… how do they differentiate
Julia is mine forever
🌙🌹
No Brasil pasta 📂 também corresponde a todas massas e tipos de macarrão
The "American" girl has a foreign accent. Wonder where she's from.
Maybe she's actually American but adapted her accent while living in Korea? Idk
I thought English speaking people talk about hunting when they shoot wild (forrest) animals for food. Correct me if I am wrong.
beruntung mereka gak bertemu anak Jaksel. banyak banget kata bahasa inggris yang anak Jaksel jadiin istilah yang menjauh dari arti umumnya.
한국어 자막좀...ㅜㅜ
Why does the Japanese lady speak Korean?
Why is the Japanese one speaking in Korean? 😅
Cos she lives in Korea dumbexploded head 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Just as that!✊✊✊✊👊👊👊👊😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Japanese girl sounds Korean, I don't get it
She live there
Understood but if she doesn't speak Japanese it does not make sense
I'm France born Japanese so my mother tongue is french and I live in Japan so I speak Japanese so I can represent France or Japan if you want;)
@@miyoshichiba1267 저기 일본 여성 마리코씨는 일본 군마에서 태어나고 자랐기 때문에 모국어 일본어를 제일 잘하고,한국에서 개인 유투브를 하기때문에 한국말도 잘 합니다,저기서 영어를 쓰지않는건 아마 일본분들 영어 발음이 좀 좋지않아서 한국말을 쓰는것 같습니다,영어를 이해는 잘 하는것 같습니다
Title should be American and English/British were shocked. Not just American
"Defenestration" is the best word in the English language. Try using the word "defenestration" in the same sentence as "Convicted Felon Don the Con Trump".
I wonder why we lost fenster (Proto High German)/fenestram (Latin) though. In Portuguese it's janela and in English it's window (obviously). But I understand that it's still pretty common in Europe.
@@DrVictorVasconcelosdoesn't "fresta", meaning a gap, come from that?
it's pity, that the japanese girl isn't speaking in japanese.
Dude, all of them live in Korea lol. If her English is not up to scratch, at least she can communicate in Korean.
バカなことを言うな。
That was weird. The British girl said very little…..it’s her language! All the others - including the American - are not native English speakers.
I don't know about that American girl specifically but an American that learns English as their first language is a native English speaker.
Americans are native English speakers....
@@--julian_ no,sorry,I’ve had this “discussion “ before,American is a dialect,a pidgin language,the only English that counts is from England.
@@ogulcanavsar5665 nope. English is the baseline. You have a dictionary which alters English making it a sub language or at best a dialect.Webster tried to appropriate a whole language
