Actually the reason why the country is typically referred to as Holland is not because of that's where all the tourists go. The real reason is that centuries ago Holland was the most wealthy and important province, and all rich people lived there. So when these people started to travel the world on their boats, all of them they would say 'I'm from Holland', so the country became known as Holland.
Such an underrated comment this is. If only more people would read it, because it is more accurate than the video itself.
KesselProductions, ur talking about the golden century for the Netherlands.
@@NoNameX_X0 For Holland and Zeeland and Friesland mainly... 🤣
We just call ourselves and our language 'Nederlands', so it's really just the English that made everything so confusing.
I kinda wish we were taught how to say what the country itself calls itself instead of the anglized version of it.
A few I thankfully know nowadays.
Suomi = Finland/Finnish
Deutschland/Deutsche = Germany/German
Nihon/Nihongo/Nihonjin = Japan/Japanese(lang)/Nihonjin(Japanese people)
I see, thanks for that
Don't you also call the people Nederlanders as well?
Justin Williams
yup "Ik ben Nederlands/I am Nederlands"; "Ik ben een Nederlander/I am a Nederlander."
Well here is a few others:
Norge(Noreg)/Norsk = Norway/Norwegian (The "Noreg" is the verision of the name used in Ny-Norsk(New-Norwegian))
Sverige / Svenska = Sweden/Swedish
Danmark / Dansk = Denmark / Danish
I am Dutch, but we didn't gave ourselves that name. In The Netherlands (called Nederland from a Dutch perspective), we call ourself 'Nederlanders', so in English we already call ourself Netherish. So why won't you? :)
@Jonah Mansel but the cheese tast good 😏
Jonah Mansel rude :(
Jonah Mansel your mom too
In the USA, a "Cheese Head" is a person from the state of Wisconsin (the dairy state) or, more specifically, a fan of the American football team Green Bay Packers.
Jonah Mansel All english food is tasteless.
In Portuguese, everyone calls it Holland, but the official name is “Países Baixos” which means “Lower Countries”
Like any normal language except English
Lena V. Hang on! In English, saying “Low Countries” refers to Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
@Paul Calixte That explains so much!
Like 7 years ago I met a Spanish woman in germany and we were speaking English to eachother. I said multiple times that I was from the Netherlands and she had no idea. When I finally said that I am from Holland she instantly knew it...
Though to be fair, that could ahve happened just as easily to an American :P
Why would they be lower countries if they’re all higher in latitude?
Because the altitude of the Netherlands is quite low
0:46 That's west, my dude.
Sven Servette yeah I pointed out that too
Shit.
In Dutch I use the mnemonic "Nooit Op Zondag Werken", but in English "Never Work On Sunday" would have put us in the South 😂
I say "never eat shredded wheat", shredded wheat being a shitty breakfast cereal old people eat. You need like 50 kilograms of sugar to make them bearable.
What are you talking about, you two?
In the netherlands we call ourselves “nederlanders”
{Dark Angel} 😂😂
Ja da kloptttt😏
In belguim we call you kees
Dont care
😂😂😂😂😂hahahaha zo grappig die engelse gasten in over nederland
3:02 It's "SAKSA" and it stems from the region called "Sachsen" in Germany.
Kind of like Holland->The Netherlands
In the dutch provence of twente. Some dialect speaking people call germany pruissen also have heard the name poepeland. From the german word for doll puppe witch spuunds like poepe in our coutry but means shit. So poepeland sounds lik shitcountry

This guy knows more about the country I live in then I do myself.
That is sad...
This is very common.
somehow you said hout pretty accuratly
Dutch is like the one language I’m not completely terrible with.
Indeed, it was pretty good
well there are a few words that could be hard to pronounce, i'm dutch and i struggle with it
do sweden. judging by "tyskland" you will pronounce words great ;D
That's how literally everyone would pronounce it
in het nederlands heten wij gewoon nederlanders
De enige die dit kunnen lezen zijn Nederlands sprekende mensen en ik denk niet dat je dat hun nog moet uitleggen...
Ja inderdaad lol 😂
Wij zijn gewoon belgen
Bueno, yo lo entiendo y vivo en españa
Dat is waar lol
3:02 The finnish name of Germany is ”Saksa”, not ”Saska”.
makes sense
Just call them "Saxons" !
HI
THAT makes a lot more sense, seeing they were the original Saxons[ Sachsen is still a province in Germany ] Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
He also horribly misspronounced "Allemagne".
lololol, Dutch people are 'Nederlanders' in the Netherlands. English people f*cked it up
fun fact about holt -> hout.
In Dutch we dropped the in olt or old we lost the l and often turned the o into an ou in general. You can still see this in English because the change happened after Anglofrisian and Dutch split.
Old -> Oud
Holt -> Hout
Hold -> Houd
Bolt -> Bout
Gold -> Goud
Cold -> Koud
These words all mean the same, maybe with some nuance differences, or some extended meanings (bout can also mean 'leg', while bolt can be used in lightning bolt).
Oh cool, wist ik helemaal niet :) Also, the Dutch 'ou' is pronounced like 'ou' in 'mouse', not like in 'you'.
Deldarel
Many Brits pronounce "ol" as "ou", as in Old→Oud
Bout can also mean fart
"Even lekker bouten" meens: Taking a nice shit
Brad Smith 'Bout' in Dutch doesn't mean a human leg, more a leg of a chicken you are eating. As in 'Kippenbout'.
I'm Netherish! Who else? 😂 NL SQUADDD

Flooding isnt actually a real problem at all, due to all the amazing waterworks we invented. One of our provinces was entirely claimed from the sea in fact. We are the masters of the sea, in fact so much so that dutch civil engineering companies are hired across the globe to solve flooding issues, like Jakarta and Venice to name a few
luuk341 and this are exactly the reasons why i’m proud to be dutch person ( not native tho i’m black)

The fact that the name is 'Holland' is still used as the name of the entire country of the Netherlands, has to do with the Dutch golden age of the 17th century.
The Republic of the Seven United Provinces of The Netherlands, also known as The Dutch Republic, was loosely collection of 7 provinces. Including Duchy of Guelders (Gelderland), County of Zeeland, Lordship of Utrecht, Lordship of Overijssel, Lordship of Frisia (Friesland), Lordship of Groningen and ... County of HOLLAND (roughly the provinces of North- and South-Holland nowadays combined)
The people in those days were more attached to their province than to the Republic.
The most powerful province was, of course, Holland, because of it's large merchant fleet. When those ships went abroad and people asked: "Where you from?" Their response will likely be "I am from Holland."
So that name stuck in a lot of languages around the world, and nowadays often mean the entire country of The Netherlands.
Bytheway: Lot of Dutch people now, will still refer to our neighbor in the west, across the North Sea, as 'England', but actually meaning 'Great Britain' or the 'United Kingdom'.
England was, of course, our biggest economic rival in the 17th century and Great Britain, nor the UK didn't exist yet in those days.
Bonus: Why do Dutch people yell at sporting events "Hup Holland hup!" (meaning: "Go Holland Go!")? Well, even in Dutch 'Nederland' is a difficult word to say fast or to singalong in a song. Also, a difficult word to rhyme and to make a compelling song about. 'Holland' on the other hand rolls off the tongue and so easier to put into a song. :D
'Where are you from?'
-'The Netherlands'
'Where is that?'
-'From Holland! -_-'
'Ooooowww....'
i am from the Netherlands and i didn't even know this, thanks a lot!
I’ve always wondered this and could never get a good answer by the Dutch and German people I met on my European travels. Thanks!
High Dutch are just Dutch people on weed
-some Dutch guy
I was going to mention that, too. How tables have turned and the Low Dutch are now the High Dutch
they got on their level
Eh ja, da's waar

Very informative, even for me as a Hollander myself ;-) Thank you!
Why not netherlanders
Het YoloPortaal idk in the netherlands it is Nederlanders

Hey everyone! If you didn't see at the end of the video, or don't follow me on Twitter (which you should @NameExplainYT) or are a Patreon. Then I'll let you all know that I am going away for a couple weeks to Japan! I am beyond excited! But that means there won't be a video for a couple weeks. I'll be back with a new video on Tuesday the 5th of June.
This will be my first break from RUclips since Christmas and since going full time with this crazy dream. Thank you so much for all the support, if that's just by watching and subscribing or from supporting me on Patreon. I still can't quite believe that I get to live my dream career as a RUclipsr.
I'll be back soon enough but for now, sayonara!

Btw it's Saksa and not saska :)
Name Explain just an interesting thing to mention is that the Dutch didn’t make it easy for England because the Dutch name for an old Dutch language is Diets. Also Duits was used to describe people in the area of Netherlands and Germany a long time ago and is still in the national anthem. And that is very similar to Dutch and Deutsch.
hey you got a mistake at 1:56, Nederlands means Dutch, Nederland is the translation for the Netherlands (or low land).
-Don't upload a video showing a dead body,- have a fun trip :D
"...the English simply referred to all speakers of Germanic languages as Dutch."
Themselves excluded, of course.
Timothy McLean yeah, their language has a lot more Romance influence though
I do find that funny, but sadly, we were mostly all pricks back then and now their lack of linguists to tell them they were speaking a germanic language makes us look like assholes
But I heard somewhere that their translation for the word "Deutsch" was actually "Teuton"
+Timothy McLean I thought EXACTLY the same thing.
+Sir Jaojao Yes, in terms of vocabulary, but language classification is also based on grammar and phonetics. And in both those areas, English is much more Germanic than Romance.
I'm finding that Teuton was actually either a very early usage to reference the Teutonic knights, or as to bring back the Teutonic knights as a derogatory term.
Hi, I'm a Dutchman here to add to the confusion. Accross various times and languages the Netherlands have among others been called: The Lands Over Here, The Lands Over There, Holland, The Low Countries, Flanders, Belgica, Brabant, The Burgundian Netherlands, The Habsburg Netherlands, The Seventeen Provinces, United Provinces, and Frisia. Sometimes several of them at the same time.
There is another part you left out-Frisia. I believe Frisia is older than the rest of the country and extended over the northern part of The Netherlands and Germany. Now it is the province of Friesland (west) and in Germany East Frisia. It has its own language-Frisian. Frisian is the closest to Old English. So I guess Old English was also a Germanic language.
My maternal grandparents and paternal grandfather immigrated from Friesland, Netherlands to Friesland, Wisconsin. They were Fris/Frysk? but Mom would also say Dutch or Hollanders. They would speak Frisian, English, or mixed.
Wasn't it also called Batavia at one point in the early 1800s?
@@laynestaley4957 Not Frisia.
Could you Explain titles like Duke, King, Emperor, count etc
Sir Jaojao and tzar and Sultan
Messenger Mint yes those too, for some reason those two don't get translated into english while most foreign titles are. Kind of like Kaiser
Sir Jaojao i don’t know about sultan, but tsar and kaiser are just the russian and german words for emperor
Lex dekker yeah that's true but I mean the japanese emperor isn't called tenno in english, most such titles aren't translated
Sir Jaojao
Good one!
Duke, Count, Baron, Lord...etc..
The dutch word for "dutch/deutch" dietsch is sometimes still used for a "Greater Netherlands" (Dietschland) (aka, Netherlands, Flanders and a teeny-tiny part of france. It's quite outdated now though.
Also, another form/ archaïc form of "dutch" (Duytsch) was used to describe the dutch people around the 16th century, ending up in the national anthem ("ben ick van Duytschen bloedt") (am I of dutch blood). Only through language evolution it is now pronounced as "duitsen bloed" meaning german blood.
Guys it's really easy to visit all you need is to make a portal using 10 obsidian and light it with a flint and steel
Finally someone who explained it! Since I'm " Netherish" everyone was asking me ab what you're talking ab, so imma prob send them this video.
Ehm, I, as a Dutchman, have always learned ‘Dutch’ comes from ‘Diets’, an early name for the Dutch language. Could still be wrong, but that's what schools are teaching us.
How did the Dietsche name the house of the Teutonic Order in Mechelen? Dietsche Huus!
Christian Takkebos Yes, I think that's right. But even 'Diets' looks very related to 'deutsch' and 'þiudisc'.
In both German and Dutch the 'þ' or 'th' sound became a 'd' sound and 'sc/sk' bacame 'sch' (in Dutch it was further reduced to an 's' sound at the end of words). At least to my knowledge.
Diets(ch) komt vh middelnederlandse Diet wat volk moet betekenen.
bv de naam 'Diederik' (Dirk) : rijk aan volk
ook : (iemand) iets 'diets' maken = iets verduidelijken of iets zo uitleggen dat ook het volk (diet) het begrijpt.
Diets comes from 'Diet' = medieval for 'volk' (people) so house (hus) of the people or 'volkshuis' in Dutch
Walter Ross Mechelen!! Limburg voor de win !!
HAHAHAHA THE WAY HE PRONOUNCED HOUT I CAN'T
chill out ikr
He pronounced it pretty well
I'm Dutch and he said it pretty accurately
Michel M. Prins ik ook, ik vond het gewoon grappig

Amazing food. A picture of a stroopwafel. It really is amazing😂
Goed uitgelegd😏😁
im sorry but 3:02 SAKSA NOT SASKA
probably 75% that watched this video is dutch
MEER VERTALEN
Not to be THAT person, but.. it's "Saksa" in Finnish, not "Saska". Great video though! :)
he also managed to write Allemagne correctly in french and went on to butcher it calling it Allemange
Congratulations, you are now THAT person.
Surprisingly I got an answer for all my questions even though I tought none of them makes any sense
3:01 Saksa*
Saksatchewan doesn't sound as fun
Ahmes Syahda I know this is (probably) a joke, but I was saying that Germany in Finnish is Saksa, not Saska
Why not Sasha lol
because the germans who we met up there came from Saxony and not Sashony :D
The Finnish word for Germany is not Saska, it's Saksa, coming from the German Bundesland Sachsen.
no the Bundesland stole that name it does not belong to it, the saxons were a germanic tribe living where today the "bundesländer" lower saxony, parts of saxony-anhalt and westphalia are, the bundesland "Sachsen" got the name because the duke of the saxons (Henry the lion) was cast down by the emperor and his family (the house of welf) lost the title to the count of anhalt, with whom it got to nowadays saxony where no saxon people lived at all. the finnish and estonian people use that name because of the saxon traders of the hanse who were the first germans they met
Saks comes from the germnic tribe Sachsen (or Saxon in english). That tribe also were the reason for naming the german Bundesländer Sachsen,Sachsen-Anhalt and Niedersachsen (lower saxony) and btw also Anglosaxon (which was an amagation of norther germany tribes from nowadays Netherlands,northern germany& denmark)
I swear a ton of us went wild in elementary school when we found out there was a country named after the Minecraft nether
Thanks for explaining the meaning of my own country where i live. Is did not know this AT ALL. In dutch: hartelijk dank: which means " thank you very much.
Love your videos, they are so interesting!
To make it simple...
Country: the Netherlands
Language: Netherlandic
People: Netherlanders
Ph Ru | The Language is Dutch! I’M DUTCH AND I KNOW WHAT IT IS!
In dutch it's actually this simple,
Country: Nederland
Language: Nederlands
People: Nederlanders
its the foreigners who made it difficult.
Jannoe | No it isn’t! Our country is Netherlands! Our language is Dutch! And the people are Nederlands! Get that right,
@Powernarth Read my reaction again, I simply stated our dutch translations arent as difficult. Of spreek jij Diets en geen Nederlands?
Jannoe | ruclips.net/video/edHOmA2LBAk/видео.html
Amazing food: "Picture of stroopwafels" -When you know somebody did their homework on the Netherlands :P Those things are amazing ^_^
Being a Dutchman for 25 years straight now I must say though, I never really knew why everyone called us Dutch, but I do know we still get confused with the German so this makes alot of sense :P
I live in the netherlands and i live right beside keukenhof(where all the flowers are)
Yeah there are no flowers anywhere else in The Netherlands ?

Also Duits was used to describe people in the area of Netherlands and Germany a long time ago and is still in the national anthem. And that is very similar to Dutch and Deutsch.
And having "ben ik van Duitsen bloed" in the second line of our national anthem also doesn't help...
3:01 It's actually Saksa, not Saska. The name comes from the Saxons, hence ks, not sk.
That moment when your country is called after a thing in minecraft 👏🏻👌🏻
holt land was a teacher from me for french :D
As one Patrick said (and this one apparently) I thought it said weast.
Weast? What kind of compass are you reading lad?
Dermpel a compas better than anyone could imagene
We call ourselves Nederlanders.
Name Explain You could've also mentioned that the iberians for a long time referred to the dutch as "batavians" besides also "hollanders"
Fake news people don't believe this lie.
As a official Zeeuw I protest ...
Even if I would not call myself that I would be known as a Geus.
If it had been up to the weak 'Nederlanders' they'd all be speaking Spanish still.
Even though the official name of our country is Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden (The Kingdom of the Netherlands), we call it 'Nederland' (singular) instead of 'Nederlanden' (plural). This is because 'Nederlanden' used to refer to the Dutch confederation of provinces in the olden days (The provinces were several lowlands.. Nederlanden!). But now that our country is a unitary state, we call it Nederland.
ZIJN WE NIET EEN PIJN?

I wonder is the name 'Dutch' related to the title 'duchess'? I know the spelling is different, but they sound the same
Bit late reply, but no. Duchess, Duke and Duchy come from the Latin word Dux (= leader/general). Dutch comes form the ancient german word þiudiskaz (= the people).
Never any relation to Duchy. However, Luxemburg 🇱🇺 is a Grand-Duchy and was part of The Netherlands 🇳🇱 till 1890.... But duchy has got nothing to do with Dutch. The British named the people from Holland / Netherlands wrongly Dutch....
@@maartenj.vermeulen900 Not really since back then we also called ourselves "Dutch".
In this video he makes it seems like only the germans used the word "Deutsch" and the Brittish simply made the mistake to also use that for us. However, that was the old German word for "Folk" and in old Dutch we also used such a word. "Diets" (or "Duutsch" as was also used depending on where you were) is the old Dutch version of "Deutsch" that the Germans had.
This is oversimplified but in the end the Brittish didn't name us wrongly Dutch.
Australia was briefly known as “New Holland”, which make’s sense since it was the Dutch who discovered it, and it’s also where “New Zealand” comes from, as Holland and Zeeland are Dutch provinces
Suggestion: Where did religions get their names?
UK Ball good idea
The Romanian Atheist
"Islam" is just Arabic for Submission (extended meaning: Submission to Allah)
"Hinduism" comes from the Indus river.
The Romanian Atheist I think you could go in to more detail then that
Buddhism - Buddha Which means the enlightened one
Christianity - Christ which is the greek word for messiah
Judaism- named after the people called "the Jews" which was named after the Kingdom of Judea around 800 BC that was named after the tribe of Judah, that was named after Judah. Judah was the founder of the tribe of Judah in the bible and his name comes from Hebrew meaning "praise (God)"
Then there is the Holy books
Buddhism's holy book "Poly Canon" - means "words of Buddha"
Christianity's Holy book "Holy Bible" - comes from the Latin word for library
Judaism's holy book "TaNaK" - Is an acronym of Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim meaning the law, the prophets, and the writings respectively
Brian Diehl No Bible comes the Hebrew word for book
You forgot to include the southernmost part of Zeeland in the southwest in your first map. Which happens all the time :(

The Netherlands in Dutch is Nederland, not Nederlands. You pronounced hout very well though
Hank or De Nederlanden/ De Lage Landen
Rick van der Sterren Yes, but definitely not "Nederlands"
maar je spreekt toch nederlands? en je bent ook nederlands
lordkyoko 1:49
heb nog nooit iemand de nederlanden horen zeggen, met uitzondering misschien van hoogbejaarden/bea
To make it more confusing, ask someone living in the province of Friesland what he calls his or her nationality
'Diets' means 'of the people'. Its an Dutch word no longer used, but I think the word Dutch may descend from that. We only use the word 'Holland' in songs (it often sounds better) or to describe where we live to foreigners ('You know, Amsterdam.' is used frequently as well).
Like als je Nederlands bent😂😂

I'm a Dutchman from the Southern province North-Brabant (new video idea?) and thus definitely not from the Holland region. I'm happy you made this video explaining that most Dutch people, all folks in those 10 other provinces are not Hollanders. :)
Leviwosc true. Because we don't like the people above the rivers. And by that we mean: Hollanders!
Exactly, I think almost nobody outside of Holland is very pleased with it being marketed as Holland all the time :/
And yeah i love explaining that North-Brabant is along thesouthern border of the country haha. And that Flemish Brabant isn't called south-Brabant :P
Wacht jullie zien jezelf niet als Hollanders? Ik woon in zuid-Holland ik dacht altijd dat heel Nederland zichzelf Hollander noemt
Brabanders horen bij het bourgondische zuiden. Hollanders zijn gewoon stijve calvinistische noorderlingen.
Kan mij dat verrotte joh. Kan niemand iets schele. Kneus
i like how he excluded texel when circling holland
I’m from the Netherlands and that cookies you show in the video are definitely my favorite! They called stroopwafels that means syrup waffle!
Nice video, but I'm gonna have to point out that it's not just the UK that referred to "all the Germanic people across the North sea" (Germans and Dutch) as "Dutch". In Dutch, we also used to have the word "Dietsch" with "Nederdietsch" (Low Dutch) referring to Dutch. Later this gradually changed into "Duyts" and eventually "Duits", which is how we currently refer to Germans. And actually, up until the 18th century, we referred to our own language as "Nederduyts" or "Nederduits" on some occasions!
Well, the Netherlands hasn't been around as an independent state for that long, but the Low West Germanic cultural area of "de Nederlanden" has been a "thing" since the middle ages. Flanders and Brabant and later also Holland (Dutch/Flemish culture dominated region) were very historically important regions of Europe long before het plakkaat van Verlatinghe was signed in 1581.
Yep. It's weird though. Apparently Dutch is *extremely* hard to learn for Foreigners but... Deutsch was hard for me to learn despite being Dutch, since Dutch basically ditched the Deutch (try saying that 10x in a row quickly) grammatical rules that were 'not necessary' and went from there. We have some strange remnants left, though.
Ghipoli True, in fact "Diets" was used to refer to the area where the Middelnederlands/Middle Dutch language, the direct precursor of the modern Dutch was spoken. Thats rougly the Netherlands, Belgium and a part of Germany. Diets translates in to Dutch in English and Deutsch in German and point out to the same area. Therefore, Deutschland and Deutschers, as they call their country and themselves, are actually calling it Dietsland/Dietsers and in fact falsely claiming they are dutch. Which they are not, the are Germans (Germanen, in Dutch) living in Germany or Germanie, as among others the english and the french seem to understand 🙃
"Hout" (wood) exists in English too as "Holt". An example is "Northolt" (Middlesex), which means "Northwood". There's also Holtby, near York.
a lot of words with origin ending in "olt" or "old" eventually changed to "out" in the Duthc language, ex. gold, bolt, hold turning into goud, bout, houd.
I'm actually a bit confussed by the 'holt' explanation...
I just always simple saw it as Hol = hollow, hollow land, cause that part contains a lot of regained land from the see/rivers , so hollow ..
+romanvampire - don't be confused, look your cognate dictionaries up - you'll see that *holt* has its root in the Indogermanic *kel_- (endvowel missing), which means "hack (down)", "break (off)", bringing in the emblements of a plantation. Also, learn English.
"Holz" in German
Marcomanseckisax that's because English is a Germanic language.
Name explained also makes a video about the things I think about like they are reading my mind
Hablo español y no me quedó muy clara la razon de por qué se les dice dutch a los holandeses (neerlandeses) si se supone que los alemanes (deutchland) son los que tienen ese nombre. Si alguien entiende por favor me explica.
Actually another explenation where 'dutch' (which also refers to the language) is beacause in middledutch their language was called 'Diets' which ment 'for the people' (so instead of Latin for the upper class, Diets and eventually Nederdiets was a language for the people) this term Nederdiets went 2 ways: first Nederlands (Netherlands / Lower lands) and secondly to Nederdiets (Lower Dutch) the complete explenation is to complicate for a RUclips comment 😜 (sorry if there are any mistakes in my English, I'm a Dutch speaking Belgian 😁)

This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix my self a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce my self. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she has a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it, I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already when I first saw her. Besides, I am quiet happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wants to live some other life without me in it, so I said, okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness. My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get my self a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video. She said, you know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer. So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.

Are you familiar with the term "Pennsylvania Dutch"? That refers to German people living in and around Pennsylvania (some of whom, like the Amish, still speak "Dutch", i.e. German.)
Steve Lovelace to add to the confusion, Mennonites speak Plautsdeitch, an old German dialect
Plattdeutsch is one variant of the Niederdeutsch (lower german) group of dialects of german., dutch(=the language of netherlands) being also part of this group( but dutch being not just a dialect but a proper standard language)
I thought it was a mix of german and dutch.
They're called Dutch because people didn't know Deutsch was different from Dutch when they arrived.
Actually ... most people still don't know the difference.
Anyone who speaks Deutsch and Dutch knows there is a world of difference.
Lmao i was just watching your other videos

About the term Holland : "Hol" means "hollow" in dutch, which seams logical : it's below sea level.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Otherwise, it would have been "Houtland", and it's not like there's really an abundance of trees, is there?
We love ur names 😜
Im from the Netherlands
And not proud of it.
Oke boeit

My teacher tried to explain why the Dutch are called Dutch... so she studied at the university of Leiden and she heard a story about Flammish people that moved to Harlem during the Industrial Revolution and they had an accent which was adapted to the language of the ''Dutch'' (people that already lived in the city of Harlem) and they called it Diets (which yes, some people could know from history classes as it was a language during the Middle Ages spoken by the ''normal'' people (also known as the not-so-rich-and-aristocratic-people). This Diets was overheard by the English workers working there too which simply called it Dutch so word spread that the Dutch are speaking Dutch. Now that I watched this video, I can confirm that my teacher is indeed as crazy as my fellow students think she is. Thanks Name Explain ;)
The Italian word for German “Tedesco” makes so much more sense now after hearing Thiudisc.
In Germany we call it 'Niederlande' which means 'lower lands' like it does in dutch. And sometimes we call it Holland too.
Clash Cookie wow i dint nos that im from the netherlands
i've always liked how the english call everything completely different than the rest of europe does, we call germany(deutschland) duitsland which is the same thing, but english people gotta change it up i guess.
yes, dutch people used to use alot of sch back in the day, now we don't
this is why i like germans, i mean, Das ist warum ich liebe den Deutschers!
Clash Cookie finally a not like if you agree
Some inaccuracies in this video.
For example: North and South Holland used to be one province, simply called Holland. During this time, the Netherlands had its naval empire, and because of the dominance of this one big province, people around the world generally dealt with Holland. The name stuck, perhaps because it is so much simpler than 'The Netherlands', 'Pays Bas', Paises Bajos', etc.
Because of the massive power imbalance between Holland and the other provinces, the province was split up into two provinces.
I come from the Netherlands, but am Limburgish! :P Great video and explanation. Most of tourists only come for what is in the west of the country (HOLLAND) not what's in the other provinces.
