I love this. I would have studied it, if I were not afraid of joblesness after study. So, it became political science and environment. No regrets. But I still love this as well.
Thanks! One of the things I hope to do is make some of this fun stuff available for people who didn't have a chance to study it in school, for whatever reason. :)
@@Alliterative Wow! Thanks! I love Languages - studying Chinese now - but, I want to study other languages too! It is just so hard, it is taking a lot longer to finish the Duolingo course! Two years and I have yet to master just half of it! LOL
Well done. I have analyzed the word "jour" differently. In Kurdish both "Day" and Sun" are called "Rozh." Thus, I think Jour and Rozh just the position of the letters has been exchanged.
There're surprisingly many time-related translator's false friends in Slavis languages, probably because some items got another meaning in some languages. In Ukrainian (also Polish and probable some other languages), година (hodyna) is an hour, while in South Slavic languages Godina is a year. In most of Slavic languages Sunday is something like неділя/nedjelja, but in russian неделя means week. Also, russian час (chas) meaning hour is nothing like Ukrainian час meaning the Time itself. And in Ukrainian доба (doba) currently means 24 hours, while in older Slavic language it meant just some time period. Year in Ukrainian is Рік (rik), in other cases it changes to roku/rokom etc., but in Croatian (and probably the neighbouring languages) it's just some period of time, for example, "u roku 2 dana" means that (something needs to be done) during the 2 days
Very cute. If just followed Sanskrit, you will see the roots of most common (samaan) English words. Sanskrit has a root verb directory and with slight variations one can make hundreds of words - like we see in the scattered IE language. So follow the source.
Respectfully, Sanskrit is a cognate of English, not its parent language. I recently released a video discussing some of the evidence for the Indo-European hypothesis: ruclips.net/video/cz7ekNq2Bhk/видео.html I recognise that you probably won't agree with me, but I am convinced by the technical elements and the evidence, and I follow the majority consensus of scientific linguists worldwide.
I would say you're only at risk from a psyop if you believe in it. 😉 On that note, do you have any juicy etymological data connected to words like 'propaganda', 'distraction', 'hoodwink' and so on?
Is this the crowning achievement of philology or just an elementary perusal from a long lost list of etymologies. Furthermore, if there is not attestation for your word you should mention the hypothetical root as being reconstructed.
It's clearly not the crowning achievement of philology, it's a fun video about some etymologies. And I mark the roots that are reconstructed as such, that's what the * signals. PIE roots are all reconstructed, so it would be very repetitive to say that every time. If you don't enjoy this type of material, that's fine, but it's not trying to be anything more than an interesting tidbit.
@@Alliterative I appreciate the feedback. The world has enough repeaters. Why not find your own long lost cognates ? Anyway, I apologize if my remarks were cold. I'm sure some people will find your work interesting, thnxs again for the feedback 🙏
We sow our seeds in due season.
Very nice 😄
Perfect *timing* too. I was in bad mood and an etymological hit was just what I needed to cheer me up!
😄⏲ Glad we could help!
Loving the look
Lovely, fascinating 👏👏👏👏

Good work on the seminars!
And thanks always for the awesome job here on the internet!
Thank you!
Good luck in your conference-going, and thanks for the vid!
Well done.

Man every time I watch your videos I get smarter haha, also wondering, how many languages do you speak?
Ha, thanks! I actually only speak two languages (English and, sort of, French). But I can read Latin, Old English, and (with effort) Old Norse. :)
@@Alliterative Damn, nothing short of impressive! I’m learning Gothic myself and I know how hard these things can be sometimes.
Oh, fun! Good luck with that, Gothic is really interesting.
@@Alliterative Thanks !
Thanks for this excellent video. I hope to use a small piece of this in an upcoming video of my own, and, will credit "the endless knot'.
Good to know! Surprised this isn't on TikTok! 😉
Ha! Good point!
Great!

The word “etymology” derived from “satyam”. If only euro-centrists looked beyond the immediate horizons life would be meaningfully simple

Did you know that Friedrich Nietzsche was a philologist of titanic intellect. Btw it’s called indo aryan
