Dont worry, Uyen:) Im a 40 years old german girl who never heard of Krampus as well😂I thought maybe its "Knecht Ruprecht" but Im not sure. Who is Knecht Ruprecht again? Nice Weekend to everyone🎉🎉
Uyen, I really must give you extra creditpoints for your great suggestion "Neukölln 11". 🤣 Ideed there exists an old crime series by the name of "Polizeiruf 110". Thanks for another great content you and your fiancé "German Boyfriend" filmed together. It's always very nice, funny and with plenty to learn when you create content together, I like it as much as when you are filming your funny stories. And I am very proud of you, what you both have learned about each others countries. This kind respect for each others culture, but also simply for each other is not a standard given thing at all! Stay safe and best wishes from Köln 🤟🏽😀
This was absolutely delightful, and I got several right due to a combination of having a German grandfather and remembering details from Uyen's videos about Vietnam! Such feel good vibes! 😊
The language is barely relevant. I’m aware of an orphanage of Huế, with many French patrons where French is still taught and there’s a French community based in Thảo Điền who maintain some shops and schools where French is used (but English and probably Korean and Japanese are spoken just as much in that ward). A random Vietnamese person is much, much more likely to speak English than French. Almost none of the people who had to learn French under colonial rule are still with us. There is a more prominent cultural influence in food although it’s quite subtle. Banh Mi uses a baton shaped bread which is obviously an inheritance of the baguette (although it’s better than baguette as it’s lighter and less chewy). There’s a very tangential link between Pho and Feu du Boeuf. Coffee was introduced by the French but is itself hardly French. Some French era buildings survive in central Hà Nội and Sai Gôn (especially the upper portions of Dong Khoi, erstwhile Rue Catinat); and perhaps most notably Da Lat. You probably didn’t want the response in the form of a comment or delivered by an Englishman, but the pervading French influence within Vietnam is so meagre that it’s hardly worth extending to the length of a video.
@@charlieread2097 Vietnamese here. I want to add some info about the language part. It is actually relevant, so relevant that we are not even aware of it. French loanwords in Vietnamese are just less than Chinese loanwords (2nd most loanwords). Chinese loanwords have this cool effect of making a word more polite and meaningful while French loanwords are just barely alike in pronunication, not that memorable. So gradually we just use the French loanwords as "pure Vietnamese words" as 1 we don't share the same close cultural scene anymore and 2 we simply forget lol.
There are some loan words, sure (xà phòng - savon and cà phê come to mind). However, I get the impression OP meant the language as a whole was relevant. Việt Năm is sometimes claimed as part of the ‘Francophonie’ community of French speaking countries which simply isn’t accurate.
You two wonderful ppl are just so wholesome and intelligent and whitty and funny. PLEASE MAKE THESE VIDEOS FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. I am a 65 yr old lady from Canada and am loving your stuff. In the course of my life I have had a German m-i-l who was a post war immigrant from Kaiserslautern, my daughter grew up with a best friend whose parents were immigrants from Vietnam...interestingly, the last name was Le, but middle names of kids was Nguyen. Anyway, keep up the great and entertaining videos.
This was one of my favorite episodes! It really showed your interaction and teasing and support too! Yes, German fairytales are really scary but not as creepy as the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen! His are the scariest!
The 2 most interesting facts for me from this: Czech has Vietnamese as official language; Vietnam has excellent coffee (so I already looked it up online, where to find Vietnamese shop in my hometown, Budapest -- hopefully they have Vietnamese coffee). Thanks for the fun, yet, wholesome quiz. 😊
The minster of Ulm will probably soon be overtaken by the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. While it has been the largest church building in the world since its completion in 1890 (it was started in 1377!) with 161,53 meters, the largest tower of the Sagrada Familia is supposed to be finished in 2026 and reach a height of 172,5 meters.
I adore these two the interest and respect uyen shows learning about Germany rivals how proud she is to teach about her Vietnam 😻 funny cute so interesting ❤
I'm American and we know about Krampus 😂 Also we have the exact same most common last names as Germany! Except ofcourse English versions of it. Smith- Schmidt and Miller- Müller
As a kid my mom would read all the German stories she read as a kid to me. I wish I could speak and understand German, my oma just passed away and I wish I learned German from her before she passed away.
I am watching this in the UK on Friday. Tonight on TV there is a programme called "The Cleaner" about a crime scene cleaner. I guess we copied it from the Germans. Also, the surnames were interesting. Basically, a list of footballers who have beaten the English sunce 1966.
I'm Korean, and I find Vietnam's chopstick culture very interesting! Because Korea has the same culture, and I always got scolded for sticking chopsticks in my rice. (Because it will be food for the dead and will give me bad luck) I have Japanese and Chinese friends, and they all told me that they have the same culture in their countries. Maybe it's a common Asian thing??🤔I wonder where it comes from LOL Love from Korea🇰🇷🇻🇳🇩🇪
I'm Dutch and knew about Krampus because of the game Don't Starve (I think) maybe I've heard it before. It's something that games sometimes use as like a villain associated with christmas/winter.
@@Mysticalzelda I play the 2 Player mode "dont starve together " with my boyfriend, it's really fun building bases and searching for resources together 😄
P.S. If you both visit the UK again, drop by Winchester. It's an ancient city that stayed small, has more food options than you would expect, and the cathedral offers a tower tour where you get to stand on the roof and take in the view. One of you will have an easier time on the stairs than the other . . . >.>
I'm Czech and only official language is Czech. Vietnemese is officially recognized as minority language. Which mean it can you can use it to communicate with state (with a recognized translator) but everthing else from state will be in Czech
If you had asked me to say anything about Vietnam, I would've just said the country had a war with the US, most people's surename is Nyuen becaause of a former king who wanted people to be called after him, there are 2 cities I know the names of which are Hanoi and Ho-Chi-Minh city, I know 1 singer from that country (Son Tung M-TP) and Pho is the most known dish outside the country 😅thats how far it gets for me, a German, who never had been to Vietnam
Krampus ist ein Süddeutscher/Ösi/Tiroler Charakter ... und ja, Knecht Ruprecht ist eine Äquivalent das wohl auch mehr Verbreitung fand da Krampus wegen der Teufelsdarstellung von der Kirche verboten wurde in vielen Gebieten.
Öhm, ich denke Knecht Ruprecht und Krampus sind verschiedene Sachen. Krampus ist normal in Tirol und wahrscheinlich Bayern etc.- die Leute verkleiden sich als Krampus, quasi eine Art Monster, und bei Umzügen schlagen diese (spielerisch) die Zuschauer oder schmieren sie mit Farbe/Kohle voll
I was born in weisbaden and have lived in the US most my life now. It's so nice getting reexcited about y'all's cultures in a way that helps me get excited about my own! I keep sharing y'all's videos with my mom ( she lived there 11 years) and we plan to go back over next year 😊
We call it black forest, because that's what the romans called it, when it was still a wild forest. The black forest today doesn't resemble its wild state anymore at all. In the 17th and 18th century, the forest was cut down ad the wood exported to the Netherlands for making ships, in the 19th century, the forest was cut down for making charcoal to power steam engines and locomotives, before it got replaced, so by the late 19th century, the forest didn't exist anymore at all and had to be replaced from scratch. The trees, that were used for this were not the many tree species, that are native to the region, but primarily the north american douglas fir, because that was the tree, that promised the most money per per area in wood sales. Originally, the black forest was far less homogeneous in terms of prevalent tree species, than it is today.
Dear Uyen! You made me so curious of your country. I absorb everything you tell about Vietnam. So my husband and I decided to travel there in January. But we still don't know exactly where to in Vietnam. Perhaps Phu Quoc? The beaches there are beautiful. But I don't want to stay only in a tourist region. I'd like to experience normal life as well and a bigger city and original food. Has somebody already been to Vietnam and would like to give me tips? Thank you! Best wishes from the Ruhrgebiet!!!
You can fly to Saigon to experience the hustle bustle and all colors of a big city in Vietnam and from there fly to Phu Quoc. If you want a place that has all in one: city life ( more peaceful than Saigon and Hanoi), sea, mountain, come to Danang and don't forget to spend some time in Hoian nearby.
I stupidly was watching this whilst eating dinner….i almost choked…several times! Lol I lived in Germany between 1998 and 2001 and knew almost all of the German questions. Didn’t know about the creepy Christmas dude though 👺
did he say the last name Meyer/Meier came from the word Mayor? Because I'm pretty sure it comes from the job of processing milk. Today there are still "Meierei" where they make milk powder and cream and stuff
I knew about Schwarzwald from the famous cake name, about Krampus from watching "Grimm" series, about Ulm from postcrossing card telling the legend about Ulm's sparrow, also different versions of "hello" thanks to postcrossing, guessed the most popular last names by translating the most popular names from my area... Just Currywurst was learned at my German lessons :) And all my correct answers about Vietnam come from Uyen's videos 🤣
This was fun. I knew Krampus before GB finished the question. I worked with someone who “tortured” his grandkids with threats of him coming with his bundle of sticks and sending notes from Krampus.
@@stephanthomas4410 No, the job where I knew him was his post-retirement job. He was a career military man and was stationed for a while in Germany. I went to grad school with a trio of German students. GB fondly reminds me of them.
@@lauren9667 That was more of a joking question ;) Nevertheless, thanks for the clarification. I'm just surprised that many Germans who write here don't seem to know the name Krampus. Greetings
I love your interaction in this video and how Uyen bargains for points xD But your keyboard was missing the ü I guess xD in the Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz they were missing
the technical tern for compositing nouns is compounding! also I'm never able to memorize that very long law name but I do know that at 22:57 the ü in the über bit is missing on screen! Finally: I can't get over the fact that sports are mandatory in Vietnamese universities and you can actually fail on them... This means I probably would have needed to apply for a dispensation because my motor skills are so poor (and I went on for a PhD in the Netherlands, no problem!)
This is what happens when you challenge a nerd (affectionate) to a trivia contest, lol. It's always a challenge when going up against someone who loves learning stuff ... should make this like an annual thing to see how much you've both learned over time
I learned about krampus only as an adult via movies. I grew up with baby jesus bringing presents on christmas eve and st. nicholas/knecht ruprecht judging naughty children on st.nicholas' day as a festive tag team. German christmas lore is very diverse and depends on the region and denomination.
I'm actually surprised how similar Vietnamese culture on the food eating (E.g no chopsticks on top of the rice) part, with Singapore and China. And yes, we can't eat until the rice is serve AND our elderly parents, relatives and in laws eats first
Ulm Minster was the tallest building in the world for a while too. The first city I visited in Germany (bar an overnight in Aachen on the way) but I've never been back. Maybe I should.
I think "Grüßgott" is also common in Bavaria. At least it used to be. But I also use "Na du?" (I think it could be translated to "Soooo...?" meaning 'what is going on for you rn?')
Southern germany (franconia / north bavarian) and we have Nikolaus and his helper knecht Ruprecht. You get treats from saint Nikolaus (6th december) but if you were nauty you get coal (or get punished). On the 24th december the Christkind (lit. Christ child) comes and brings presents
Am I the only one who finds Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz ridiculously hard? Would have demanded new question as well! Apart from that - great video it made me smile a lot!
I learned how to say Guten Tag when I was in high school. I know what Danka means to. I got some of the German right. But this is very hard, I've never been to Germany or Vietnam. But I want to go!
"Krampus" is very difficult! At the part of Germany I'm living their are Saint Nikolaus and "Knecht Ruprecht" Knecht Ruprecht has the "black book" and a birch. And all unkind things a child was doing during one year is written down in this book. He reads it out loud infront of the whole family (and mayby he plays/acts like hitting the child with a birch).
From Hungary this was interesting. We have Krampus but for us they (this is a type of creature as the elfs)is work with the Santa Claus and I didn't know the Czech Republic minority thing
Dont worry, Uyen:) Im a 40 years old german girl who never heard of Krampus as well😂I thought maybe its "Knecht Ruprecht" but Im not sure. Who is Knecht Ruprecht again? Nice Weekend to everyone🎉🎉
I think its more of a austrian thing so that may be why

I lived in Germany between 1998 and 2001 and knew almost all of the German questions. Didn’t know about the creepy Christmas dude though 👺
The most famous creepy christmas dude here in germany is called "Knecht Ruprecht", while "Krampus" is only known in the south of germany (bavaria).
I was distracted by how shiny your hair looks the entire video 😅😂💖
did he say the last name Meyer/Meier came from the word Mayor? Because I'm pretty sure it comes from the job of processing milk. Today there are still "Meierei" where they make milk powder and cream and stuff

Ah yeee, I said Krampus right away 🫶 I love the movie & have the book too.
I'm actually surprised how similar Vietnamese culture on the food eating (E.g no chopsticks on top of the rice) part, with Singapore and China.
And yes, we can't eat until the rice is serve AND our elderly parents, relatives and in laws eats first
I'm discovering that Vietnam has a lot in common with Brazil, my country... 😍😍😍
Schwarzwälderkirschtorte is second best to the Donauwelle!
They turned Krampus into a horror movie in America so I knew that one
Ulm Minster was the tallest building in the world for a while too. The first city I visited in Germany (bar an overnight in Aachen on the way) but I've never been back. Maybe I should.
I think "Grüßgott" is also common in Bavaria. At least it used to be. But I also use "Na du?" (I think it could be translated to "Soooo...?" meaning 'what is going on for you rn?')
GB questions were much harder than Uyen's questions. I hope you learned from this little challenge. You have to be tough! This was really funny!
You can wrap things in rice like stuffing olives... potentially :P
Southern germany (franconia / north bavarian) and we have Nikolaus and his helper knecht Ruprecht. You get treats from saint Nikolaus (6th december) but if you were nauty you get coal (or get punished). On the 24th december the Christkind (lit. Christ child) comes and brings presents
A half eaten lasagna? Finally a Price worth winning 😃
Am I the only one who finds Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz ridiculously hard?
Would have demanded new question as well!
Apart from that - great video it made me smile a lot!
I learned how to say Guten Tag when I was in high school. I know what Danka means to. I got some of the German right. But this is very hard, I've never been to Germany or Vietnam. But I want to go!
That contest was hilarious.
Rematch pleaseee!
"Krampus" is very difficult!
At the part of Germany I'm living their are Saint Nikolaus and "Knecht Ruprecht"
Knecht Ruprecht has the "black book" and a birch. And all unkind things a child was doing during one year is written down in this book.
He reads it out loud infront of the whole family (and mayby he plays/acts like hitting the child with a birch).
I used to work with chocolate and my favourite cacao beans are Vietnamese

I actually got a couple of those right. I'm old, and in Canada and use Facebook. 😉
Don't even get me started on the Netherlands and Belgium with our Sinterklaas and zwarte Piet christmas tradition 😅
What is it?
The funniest thing is that the super long German word is misspelled. 😂
The Krampusnacht Ball here is the best part of Christmas.
From Hungary this was interesting. We have Krampus but for us they (this is a type of creature as the elfs)is work with the Santa Claus and I didn't know the Czech Republic minority thing
