bruh I'm Lithuanian and you're leaps n bounds better at this than me that said you do get brown signs in all the Baltics, they point to tourist destinations, national parks and the like and aye, we have storks for days all around. luv 'em.
Yea we latvieši absolutely do have the "v" markers for our letters as you can see by even our own name. The engliš šould also adopt š ž and č, muč neeter and way less ambiguous than sh zh and ch.
Baltics + Finland can be hard with or without signs. Even more confusing when around the Finnish only area in Finland, cause the signs can seem exactly the same as in Estonia (western Finland has a lot of Swedish signage)
This was a sweet vid, informational as heck and then the 34 streak to top it off! Will definitely be giving the baltic roulette a try to apply my newfound knowledge
Two i:s for no reason? Come on! There are plenty of reason for that. It makes the vowel sound longer. There is always a reason behind words and spelling. It is like living archeology that we use everyday. Yes, I am a language nerd but still. Loved the video anyways :)
One easy tip i saw you miss in an earlier video with Sweden vs Finland. Sweden usually has like dotted lines at the sides of roads whereas finland has solid lines
True:Estonia language is very different from latvia and lithuania,i think estonia language is not same as finnish language,im estonian i dont understand finnish at all
Great vid! Immediately started playing the baltic roulette map and had so much fun. :) Btw, the "v" above some letters is called a caron. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caron
@@Tankwiper There are 26 place names in Estonia that contain the letter š, for example there's a street called Šampinjoni in Narva. There are 38 place names in Estonia that contain the letter ž, for example there's a street called Passaaž in Tallinn. I would link the official Estonian database of place names, but I don't think links are allowed here. However, if you want to look them up yourself, search for "maaamet X-GIS knr".
Yes they are. The very name of our nation is latviešu tauta. Labi uzrakstīsim kaut ko ar pēc iespējas mazāk svešvārdiem lati tu varētu redzēt cik bieži mūsu valodā parādās šņāceņi š, ž un č. Č gan nav šņācenis, patiesību sakot es nezinu kas tas ir ja man to būtu jāapraksta kā valodniekam.
Hello from The Baltics :) The bird is called "Stork" and for some reason they like to build nests on those poles.
The exact species is white stork en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_stork
For some reason? Its because old natural forrests are rare and thus broken branches of great treas even rarer.
Very simple, actually.
Lithuania: has ė and ū and ąųęį
Latvia: has ī
Estonia: has ä, often a double one, like Häärjumää
bruh I'm Lithuanian
and you're leaps n bounds better at this than me
that said you do get brown signs in all the Baltics, they point to tourist destinations, national parks and the like
and aye, we have storks for days all around. luv 'em.
Brown signs in the US also do the same thing. That is definitely helpful
Lithuania has brown signs aswell. They are used for things like national parks
Awesome video. I like the focus on telling apart similar countries. Now you can do the intersection area of peru/bolivia/chile/argentina! :)
Yea we latvieši absolutely do have the "v" markers for our letters as you can see by even our own name. The engliš šould also adopt š ž and č, muč neeter and way less ambiguous than sh zh and ch.
Agreed!
Baltics + Finland can be hard with or without signs. Even more confusing when around the Finnish only area in Finland, cause the signs can seem exactly the same as in Estonia (western Finland has a lot of Swedish signage)
Two I’s for no reason lmao. It would sound and in many cases mean completely different things if words that have duplicate letters didnt have them 😂
As an English speaker he should be aware of it. Cool, fool, pool etc not col, fol, pol.
7:41 stork
You do get “v’s” on Z S C in Latvia, too. They mean Zh, Sh, Ch. But Lithuania uses them more often
also the horizontal lines on top of letters like ē
@@ken3243 Those are called long lines and they are used in lingua latīna aswell - impērija, gladiātor, amīcus, Rōma, ...
There is a reason why when I go to Estonia or Lietuva I dont consider it as going abroad. Language is the only thing which seperates us.
omg literally last night I was trying to study the baltics! Thanks for the tips!
I gochu
Awesome vid man. Helped me a lot. A series on these would be greatly appreciated!
This was a sweet vid, informational as heck and then the 34 streak to top it off! Will definitely be giving the baltic roulette a try to apply my newfound knowledge
There are Ž, Č, Š in latvian language too
easy difference is that Lithuania is the only one with ąęųį letters
Two i:s for no reason? Come on! There are plenty of reason for that. It makes the vowel sound longer. There is always a reason behind words and spelling. It is like living archeology that we use everyday. Yes, I am a language nerd but still. Loved the video anyways :)
Storks are beautiful, clever an family-minded birds... and in Poland they bring babies, as in that's where babies come from 😊
7:45 That's a stork :)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stork

One easy tip i saw you miss in an earlier video with Sweden vs Finland. Sweden usually has like dotted lines at the sides of roads whereas finland has solid lines
I think this is the baltics
Sir, this is a Wendy`s!
20:50 “Lepatriinu”… so we have two ‘i’-s next to each other with no reason. Lol 😅
He as an English speaker doesnt know that Estonian is spoken exactly as it's written

Estonian also has Š and Ž, but no Č. They aren't used very often though.
Not in place names though. And no Č.
