    200 yrs ago it was kameelpaard in Dutch. Later on adopted the word Giraffe but Afrikaans kept it that way.
    Also in Dutch tractor and trekker are both used same as ziekenhuis and hospitaal, although hospitaal sounds archaic. Funnily enough an army field hospital is still called “een veldhospitaal” in Dutch.
    Almost everything Afrikaans is connected to Dutch apart from maybe some odd words here and there from Portuguese, Malay or Bantu. Sometimes videos such as these try to make it seem like there is more of a difference when there’s not.

      Traktor and Trecker are synonymes in German too. But Traktor sounds more professional whilst Trecker is a word children would commonly use or when adults use it, it is more of a derogative term.

      Low Saxon or Low German in English, and Plattdüütsk, Nederdüütsk or Nedersassisk in East Frisian Low Saxon. Low Saxon is very similar to Dutch indeed. Most speakers have a strong German accent nowadays, unfortunately, but there are many old recordings of proper Low Saxon. It sounds way more like Dutch than German. I have a Low Saxon playlist that has some proper Low Saxon. The Schnaps im Wasserkessel videos and the Talk op Platt uut Eckernföör video are some of the best. The man who starts speaking at 1:08:33 of the Eckenföör Platt doesn't sound German at all to me. By the way, the northeastern parts of the Netherlands, like Groningen, speak Low Saxon as well.

During the VOC times, many of them tried their luck in the oversea territories. Even the Walloon population settled in Nieuw Amsterdam (New York), South Africa, and other areas. As someone from North Brabant, a lot of words from Afrikaans sound very local in my ears.

    I was able to pick up most words that are used in English. Many of the standout words in English come from other languages. For example, in Dutch, I knew without the English translation, "ziekenhuis" means hospital. First off, "hospital" has Latin roots; if we remove it, we would be saying "sick house." If I'm correct (though I could be wrong), "ziek" translates to sick, and "huis" is house. That's how I was able to pick that out, along with other words.

      in german, we also have the word "siech" which means that someone is severely/helplessly/deadly ill and lost all his power.
      thus we have the same word ziek/siech with a slightly different and more special meaning.
      "normal" sickness is "Krankheit" and being sick is "krank sein"

  • @Naanhanyrazzu
    @Naanhanyrazzu Год назад +5

    All 4 languages are incredibly close to each other.
    Often they even use the same phrase, just with their own words. Krankenhaus means (krank) sick + (Haus) house, so the same as in Dutch, where sick means zieke and house means huis.
    And since you asked: a Fahrrad consists of driving and wheel. So a wheel to drive (or riding).
    Some German dialects would be understood even in South Africa as they use similar words like Perd, appel/apple and Trekker.
    Would probably be received like a bad Germikaans.

    The kameelperd can be litterally translated to kameelpaard (also camelhorse) in dutch so I think the Dutch colonists saw a giraffe for the first time in Afrika and thought "well, it looks like a horse with a long neck so we'll call it camelhorse" and then came back with the stories about these animals and we as dutchies thought "well the English called it a giraffe and that sounds better so lets stick with that". Meanwhile in Afrika they didn't know about the change and kept calling it camelhorse.

      in german a shark is a "Hai" too, which is the base for a joke:
      [translated to english] two fish meet in the ocean. says one to the other "Hi!". says the other in a terrified way "where?"
      other words are similar and quite different at the same time, eg "Loftschepp" would easily be recognized by a german as "Luftschiff" (air ship), but with the different meaning of not being an airplane, but a Zeppelin or Blimp.
      And for some words, there are regional differences, or a difference between "good Language" and "everyday language".
      we use two words synonymously "Traktor" and "Trecker" (in the video "tractor" for english and durch, "trekker" for afrikaans)
      Kaffee is the beverage, and the french version Cafe is the location/shop where you sit down to drink Kaffee
      english has its own version of "Hund/hond" besides dog : hound
      tier is a completely different thing (false friend): in german "Tier" means "animal" in general and not a "Tiger". and i have heard (not sure about the details) that the old version of that word with the general meaning also was used in english before turning it into "deer" to name only a specific animal.

I'm not sure if Afrikaans is officially counted in this group but it ought to fue to what I heard here.
    Ananas in Scandinavian languages.
    When giraffes were first introduced to Swedish scientists in the 1700hundreds its was called kameleopard in their writings. Thought to be a mixtaposition between camels and spotted leopards. Your kamelopard with the horse/pard bit make more sense and must have been misunderstood by those early Swedish naturalists. Carl von Linné studied in Leyden, so Dutch must have influenced him.

    Whether you believe me or not, Fahrrad fahren in Germany is much more fun than staying in Krankenhaus. Hospital is used in many languages, but in the Netherlands it is called ziekenhuis and in Germany Krankenhaus which in both languages mean house for sick people. Praat a language is in Dutch as usual as spreek a language, it depends on the place you are in the Netherlands. If you compare breakfast, lunch and dinner you will find that English and Dutch are similar and German and Afrikaans. Afrikaans often sounds strange to me because it is written like Dutch, but it sounds very different. Because Africans speak slower than Dutch, Afrikaans is difficult to understand, but for me it is understandable - most of the time. I think the conjugation of "to be" in Afrikaans strange, it is similar in the other 3 languages but different in Afrikaans.

      The long A in Old English became a long O in Modern English, so ham becomes home and an becomes one. The pronunciation of one comes from the West Midland dialect where Modern English is a weird mixture of various dialects due to industrialization and people from many parts of the country moving to major cities and contributing to the local language, with London being the city with the greatest pull from across the country. The word lunch for instance is from Yorkshire with dinner being the original word in the Southeast of England. Now when you say dinner most people think of the evening meal rather than the midday one.

You can sometimes really see it, like with the ending of higher numbers: -zehn/ -tien/ - teen. With german you have to remember, that we have soo many dialects and so it would work much better in some cases if you compair it with low german instaed of high german.
    And sometimes there are just some different words we use for the same things, like Trekker and Traktor or pink and rosa 😉

    since Pynapple is spelled with a Y does that mean that changing it to Pijnapple mean it a apple that hurts rather than a apple that looks like a pine kernal? xD

      A fruit that looks like a pine cone. In Dutch: pijnappel. (Also used as a very decorative ornament in architecture.) Ananas is the name from its origin.

    8:21 again old dutch what is still mostly spoken in many dialects. Koe = Singular. Koeien = Is plural, Koeie = slang. Die koeie dar ver in der weide.

    Fascinating that airplane is same with Dutch and Afrikaans (vliegtuig), while it's a modern word and in the time of English colonization. Why is that?

    • @Delzaan
      @Delzaan 11 месяцев назад +2

      Because Afrikaans looks to Dutch for Dutch words, seeing Afrikaans is practically Dutch... And not just basically, it is Dutch words

    Very interesting video and reaction. Glad my curiosity made me watch it!
    The German sechs was very weirdly pronounced though. The ch in sechs should sound more like a g than the normal ch.

      going only by the sound in germany : sechs = sex :-)
      try telling someone in german that you got six videos, without having to explain it :-)
      first i got five videos, and then another one :-)

    Strange! we also say trekker here and not a tractor, and there are more words like that. I think that the Boers did not speak Dutch as civilized as in the video.😂

    interesting. I'm even afraid to imagine how terrible my pronunciation is. I more or less understand English, but speak... maybe it seems that way to me, but the African language is more complicated.

    Low German is the base language for all of these languages. So why should there be big differences?

    As you do music reactions, maybe you wanna do react to some german music.
    Here are some links with german music for you to try. Some in english, most in german, some with subs. Different genres, some older ones some newer. Enjoy 🥰

    Praten is minder formeel dan spreken, en vaak ook intiemer; babbelen is wel een synoniem van praten maar niet van spreken. Bij spreken ligt meer dan bij praten het accent op de inhoud. Vergelijk Ik zal eens met hem praten en Ik zal eens met hem spreken.
    translation:
    Praten is less formal than spreken, and often more intimate; babbelen(Chatting )is a synonym of praten, but not of spreken When spreken the emphasis is more on the content than with praten Compare I will praten to him and I will spreken to him.

      in german "to speak" is "sprechen", and some dialcts say "babbeln" which is more like "chattering"

    You’ll notice that English is often the outlier among the languages, that’s because although it has a Germanic origin, it’s been heavily influenced by Romance languages like Latin and French.
