Forgive me for my ignorance, I don’t mean to be rude but I genuinely don’t know this. Can you access RUclips from inside Russia? Is this available for everyone or do you have like a side way of getting to it? Cheers from Sydney:)
7:19 That girl said: "Hei. Jeg heter Mari. Kommer fra Bergen i... Oslo er hovedstaden i Norge. Så det... Ja." which means: "Hi. My name is Mari. I come from Bergen in... Oslo is the capital of Norway. So it's... Yeah." She spoke the typical Bergen dialect of Norwegian :D
This dude is basically a real-life Professor Talkalottaworda. Unlike Wouter, Professor Talkalottaworda is Italian. He speaks fluent worldwide languages. Professor always used to have fluent conversations in Thai with Grandma when she was still alive.
Wouter clearly was born with a n advantage being born to a Moroccan parent, in Netherlands while english is the base language of everyone 😂 Moroccon gives you: French Arabic (Spanish) Netherlands: Dutch English
He didnt get Albanian as it was a pretty strong Gheg dialect from Kosovo. It is not so soft and lyrical sounding as Albanian from Tirana and further south.
In my opinion we cant say that we speak a language if we make a mistake in each phrase … your Portuguese looks more Spanish ! And your Spanish you mix with Italian ! And your French man… you really need to study the basics … you have a very good vocabulary in Latin languages but your grammar and conjugations doesn’t make sense
@element5817 Yup. There's the occasional lexical difference, but on the whole you'll find bigger differences between, say, British English and American English.
Irish translation for anyone wanting a more acurate one: Do you speak irish? I speak irish also. And i live in ireland. I go to the shop every day and buy bread and butter for my breakfast And.. my school starts... my school starts at 9 o Clock and ends at 4. And i study all the time on the weekdays (this is said weirdly so thats my interpretation) And i love to study!
As a German native who is also about a native level in English I understand almost all of Dutch/Danish/Swedish/Norwegian when it's written, but not spoken, stupid or smart? 😂
Note that the the Norwegian girl spoke the dialect from Bergen (same as myself), and she said she was from Bergen, but this was left out of the subtitles. Just mentioning this here, since the subtitles left the impression that she said she was from Oslo. She did mention Oslo as well, but probably just intended to say that she lives there -- it was a bit unclear.
Couldn't imagine you getting much profit from a video in Australia. Polynesians, aborigines and new guineans; its a whole other world of languages over this side of the world, especially aborigines. No language group is similar to it in any way, issolated as it has sbeen for tens of thousands of years
Bro if you speak hindi then you can speak urdu, american english and England english is the same. Same as hindi and urdu lol. I feel like you got scammed there.
Wouter’s hindi seems very formal, in the style of an old fashioned letter, because he uses the formal “parantu” instead of the shortened, conversational “par” whenever he wants to say “but”
Although Hindi and Urdu share many similarities in their roots, the original form of Hindi, Shuddh Hindi, which is not really generally spoken, is quite different from Urdu and can be considered a different language. The reason people perceive them to be practically the same/very similar is not as much because of the similarities in the roots, but rather, due to the fact that the modern standard Hindi generally spoken today actually uses a lot of Urdu (and of course English) words, making the two much more mutually intelligible.
Actually, the opposite has happened. Shudd Hindi, the "purified" form of Hindi, is the result of a deliberate practice to remove Arabic, Turkish, and Persian words from Hindi. The Indian Constitution recommends that Hindi resort to Sanskrit for new terms. For its part, formal Urdu also uses more Persian words than its colloquial variants.
@@amonamantangorri1 Not exactly correct. Hindi evolved from Hindustani which ultimately evolved from Old Hindi. So if you talk about Shuddh (pure) hindi as Today's hindi minus the loan words from Persian, arabic etc., what you get is similar to Old hindi.
@@Pain53924 The Hindi-Urdu vernacular variants are more similar and understandable to each other than their respective standards. This is the consequence of, you know, a complicated history, and due to a deliberate purpose of some national elites. It is as if the Spanish authorities wanted to eliminate all words of Arabic origin from their language (which are many, the result of 700 years of Muslim rule), to recover a "pure romance". Or as if the English were trying to erase from their language all traces of French-speaking Norman domination. I have read to you yourself that the Hindi spoken by many people "has Urdu words". Well, you may think that they are "Urdu words", although some may think that they are also words of the common Hindi-Urdu or Hindustani language, which may be of Sanskrit root or of other origins.
I hope no one will furiously start writing "Slava Ukraini" in the comments, just because they mistaked a Slovenian flag from a thumbnail with a Russian flag. They can be stupid enough for that, it happened to me as well.
ich find den Typen leider nicht ganz so medial geeignet. Kürzere Cuts mit dem kurzen Sprachaustausch wären vorteilhafter für ihn. Ich habe allerdings den größten Respekt. Ich spreche nur 4 Sprachen und ich bewundere ihn das er das so gut auseinander halten kann, ich rutsche immer durch einander ;)
"Hindi y Urdu tienen en común el 90%, pero son idiomas DIFERENTES", dice el punyabí. En realidad, eso está más relacionado con la religión o con la mala relación existente entre dos estados. Lo mismo puede decirse por los bosnios: El mismo chico sea ha sorprendido cuando le has dado los 20€. Le has podido contestar en su mismo idioma, llámese serbio, croata, bosnio, serbocroata o como lo quieran llamar en su aldea.
Hey Wouter 👋. It's Hannah again. Do you speak Swahili? My uncle Reuben is from Kenya. He speaks English, Swahili, and Arabic. He's not my biological uncle, though. He's just my honorary uncle.
It seems that wouter always loses money when he meet balkan people, so knowing Asian languages doesn't help from losing money in meeting tourists in Europe

Wouter looks like that lonely, shy and weird kid who decided to learn languages in order to find new relationships and get over social akwardness. Result: some basic phrases to strangers, no real bonds and dude looks shabbier and weirder than ever before. I feel sry for the guy 😢
Bro people only say things like what you have said because something subconsciouss in your ego feels very insecure and feels like it needs dish out insults to keep itself feeling justified. This is not about blame or making you feel shit but rather to make you aware of this. If you are not aware of these kind of things you can never become a wholer person and instead remain in your own fear and emotional responses. That is not living my friend. I shall help you to clear this evil and you will feel this help initially in a proportion similarly to how strongly you react when reading this comment. Stay true to the opportunity you see at humility. Cheers
I find it very interesting that when listening to European French, I understand far more than I do at home (Canada, Quebec French is a little more difficult but I get the gist of it, but the local French in Northern Ontario, I can barely catch a word). My youngest daughter leaves for Germany tomorrow morning, I'll be sure to mention your tip about traveling by train!
one of my most embarassing moments was when I brought my girlfriend at the time to Montreal and told her I could speak French, which I did! But I did not speak Quebecois French. First restaurant we went to I launched into my Parisian French.... oof... had to switch back to English immediately! It makes a ton of sense given how many many years Quebec has been isolated from France, but my god I was fucking confused.
It'll happen one day! He was pretty close to the Linguistics building of the Uni of Amsterdam and they have Esperanto classes there and a professor of Esperanto.
