1:02 Drew: *is confused why Germans say "Train Station" without knowing it's actual translation* Germans: "Bahnhof!" Oversimplification: The Train with the needed information of what the conversation had didn't arrive on time. It's simply a inside joke.
Thank you for the info, I was trying to wrap my head around the train station thing. I thought it was in reference to how complicated Underground/Subway/Metro (whatever word you use) maps are lol
No, its kind of unclear where the sayong comes from, but the most popular theories state that it either comes from German soldiers at the end of WW1, who simply wanted to go home and therefore „only understood trainstation“ as in they only thought of getting onto a train back home. The other theory states that the saying comes generally from excited travellers who only think of their upcoming journey and nothing else and therefore also „only understand train station“
1:03 "Ich versteh nur Bahnhof" (I only understand train station) This sentence is from the first world war and is the refence to soldiers wanting to go home to their wifes. Since the train is the only vehicle, which brings them home, they said "Ich versteh nur Bahnhof" (I only understand train station), when given a order. Over the years it got more into society and is now used everywhere
Liechtenstein really could've used an army though. I mean they border one of the most aggressive countries on earth, you know the one I'm speaking of, right? Exactly, Switzerland.
The "Spanish" version is used in Germany as well. It's supposed to have it's roots from when newly appointed emperor Karl V (of the spanish Habsburg branch) introduced spanish court ceremony in the HRE, which was very different to previous customs.
as far as i know we say "Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof", "I only understand trainstation" because tired german soldiers in WW1 wanted nothing more than to get home. And getting home in WW1 required a trainstation. I hope you guys reading this maybe learned something new and that we are not the soulless bad guys as we are often portraied. Sorry for spelling mistakes or anything.
They welcomed uh no they didnt the Icelandic people were mad at the fact there neutrality had been disrespected and also the fact a foreign power was taking them over again I'm sorry but saying they welcomed the Brits is one of the most untrue statements ever
12:19 Yeah that's not really what you should take away from that Drew. The red are the known dopers. The blue after the WW2 are just the dopers that weren't caught. When Lance Armstrong got caught, they tested a lot of the guys he was competing against and 61 of his 70 closest competitors were also using dope. And keep in mind, that doesn't mean the remaining 9 weren't doping, it just means they weren't caught. If you don't use any dope for a few weeks before a test, you'll be cleared even if you've been on steroids for the past decade before that. So yeah, IMO, anyone who's close to Lance Armstrong level is 100% using dope.
Concerning the first one, calling something Spanish is also a thing in Germany, though apparently it has connotations more along the lines of something being suspicious. There's also a thing about Bohemian villages (this one being used when you didn't understand any of it) but I feel like that's slightly archaic.
In germany we say "Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof" which is a new Generation humor meaning "I only understand Trains". It's basically a joke considering a Train is loud.
First its not "I only understand Trains", because Trains are "Züge". (Correct would probably be station, or train station) And second I'm pretty sure its because Station announcements are difficult to understand, because of the bad quality.
Im really suprised that you've heard of "spanish village". Its a phrase in croatian which translates to "Špansko selo" which actually has nothing to do with Spain, in fact "Špansko" is a part of Zagreb, capital of Croatia (my part of the town), and honestly I have no idea why is that a phrase

To correct you, the roaring 20s definitely happened in some parts of Europe and is definitely used as a phrase to describe that period over here cause in Germany at least you had the Golden age between the end of WW1 at the depression that hit their country in 1929 with hyperinflation. Also the first feature length science fiction movie, Metropolis is to have said to have been from this period in Germany.
01:03 Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof. = I just understand train Station. Rough translation though We use it all the time, and just now I've come to the conclusion of: *why?*
The most popular story is that soldiers in WW1 associated train stations with holidays back home, so with increasing time on the battlefield, all they wanted to hear is train station.

1:05, if you skipped Danish because you don’t know wtf “Volapük” is, its basically just “gibberish” i think, because we say “det lyder som noget volapyk” or something similar
“Map of Europe if their size represents their GDP “ “Russia” i thought russia was in Asia
Russia is huge, some of it is considered to be in Europe, and after the Ural Mountains, rest of it (including Siberia) is in Asia.
@@ranacker yeah its huge but technically its still in Asia
@@ISpacer it's both
The fruit one is in Kilograms, in weight, per person... Turkey eats 128KG, or about 282LBS of fruit, per person, per year...
USA after figuring out that all the countries with no military have oil: I N V A D E
Erm, id respectfully like to inform you that tor most of those countries, the US in their primary defence guarantor,
Heck 5 of them on that list are in what is called a "free association" with the US.
Anyone who touches say Iceland or Micronesia or god forbid Panama is going to have a really bad day.
That's why they don't have armies, they have a superpower guarantor.

I would make a nono cuddle joke here but I wont because why not
I have literally never heard anyone say it's all Hebrew to me in my life and saying it's all Hebrew to me sounds like Hebrew to me

Day 64 of telling drew his daily uploads are appreciated
Fun fact the Netherlands has 90%-95% of the country speaking English and 95%-100% speaking Dutch
Swiss having the alps as their military
I never get why does the swiss even have an army? to make chocolate and watches?
@@morisco56 because theyre incredibly neutral. When your neutral you have no friends and must be prepared. It makes a lotta sense
@@poke-champ4256 well that made sense in the ww2 and cold war era but now with the european unity no one will attack them, it is just a waste of money(eventho they're rich af)

The guy who makes the full hat lamps are criminals.
Fun History Fact Panama can't be invaded from the Carribean! Due to the mangroves on that side, the city near the Canal can't be approached by boats without running aground. Only Captain Morgan was able to do that, it's insane.
Captain Morgan didn't sack Panama from the carribean. This crazy SOB knew it was impossible, and went from the PACIFIC side through the jungles like a madman.
edit: i got details wrong, invasion from carriabian is basically a death march. and pacific side is impossible/difficult.
(1:00) The German one is false. That one is reverse. Instead of them saying "I don't understand your train station speech" it's actually "I only speak train station so I don't understand you". It shouldn't be included.
In Switzerland we say:
Ich verstah nur Bahnhof!
Or in German:
Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof!

Its true, as an albanian i can confrim that we eat a lot of fruit.
mainly bananas and apples
also children eat 70% of all the 171 fruit per capita
adults dont eat much but its still a bit 30%
171 kg of fruit. That's half a kilogramme per day. Kinda insane to think about
About the microstates in Europe with no armies, its usually their larger neighbour that takes care for their defense. For Example: France for Monaco, Italy for San Marino etc...
2:10: Spanish, French, Dutch and English settlers, are we a joke to you?
2:49 This map is actually wrong in Poland you say rere rere kum kum not rechu rechu kum kum , we even have a whole song about it
