I'm a Frisian who speaks fluently, It is actually very easy to learn if you already speak Dutch and English because It's kind of a mix of both languages, Anyways awesome video.
My first encounter with Frisan was quite funny, because for me it sounds very much like Dutch if it comes to the sound, so I thought they were speaking Dutch but I obviously didn't understand anything. It was interesting for me how two languages can sound so similar but nevertheless you will not understand anything if you just speak Dutch.
I don't speak Frisian at all, and struggle to understand when someone speaks it fast, but I can often translate it by using the languages and dialects I do know.
Not just Dutch and English, but also German and dialects from all over the Netherlands.
I tested this once with a Frisian friend, who in turned tried to understand my dialect (I'm from Brabant, where each region has its own dialect, and the side of the street you live on can already make a difference, so this was my own smalltown dialect, not the most well known dialect of the province)
So we ended up having a conversation where she'd speak Frisian and I'd speak my dialect, and we managed to make it work okay.
The people around us were very confused, though (mostly people from the Randstand, who could understand neither of us)
Not really
it's different between north frisian, west frisian and east frisian
Matahari is from Malay language means Sun.
i am a frisian who was born and raised in germany. i never learned the language but i'm trying to reconnect with my roots. thank you for this video!
how is the progress?
My mom is dutch and my dad frisian, I was born in Canada and I learned English and French growing up. Even though dutch is a difficult language to learn I think that learning French as a child really helped. I started learning dutch using duolingo but I got frustrated with the platform and stopped. Any recommendations for something else that works better?
@@jesseterpstra5472check out learndurchwithkim here on RUclips channel. I am Dutch born but was raised in America and now live in Canada. My Dutch is quite broken, but improving. I enjoy watching Dutch programs with English subtitles and am improving my understanding a lot. Here on RUclips I enjoy easydutch because they show both Dutch and English in subtitles. Plus, sometimes if they are speaking a bit too fast I slow the speed down to .75 so I can follow it easier. God bless you. ❤️🙏
Thank you for the English subtitles. I'm currently leaning Dutch and being able to hear you speak it and having both Dutch and English subtitles really brings it together.
Ik ben Braziliaan. Ik ben getrouwd met een echte friezin, haar naam is Froukje, en ik heb enkele zinnen in het fries geleerd. Ik vind de klank van de friese taal erg aangenaam. En paar jaren geleden heb ik de nederlandse taal geleerd. De geschiedenis van de friese cultuur vond ik ook interessant. Leuke video!!!
Ik heb een Braziliaan als partner ook. Hij vind niks aan de Nederlandse en Friese taal helaas. Wij communiceren dan ook engels met elkaar
Complimenten voor je grammatica! Beter dan veel Nederlanders!
😊 - erg, 😄/ een paar, 🤣
"Mata Hari" (Margaretha Geertruida Zèlle) once lived in The Dutch East Indies, now called Indonesia. She knew Javanese dances a lot. Here, in Jakarta, I told my senior-high students about her during my class at school. Few people in Indonesia know Mata Hari today.
As a Indonesian I just knew her after I got interested in Dutch and Indonesian history, it's quite bizarre that more Americans knew who Mata hari was than an average Indonesian.
@@graysontan507 I knew her for the first time after watching "Quiz Family 100" on RCTI with Cathy Bonn in 1990s.
"Mata Hari" or "Matahari" means "Sun" in Indonesian...
@@arsyapermana1 Yes, Mata Hari = 'the eye of the day'
Mata Hari is geboren in Leeuwarden en pas op latere leeftijd, na haar huwelijk, is zij naar Nederlands Indië gegaan.
I am a Friesian, live in Australia, and still speak Friesian even if not so good, I absolutely understand it. My sister was born here and because mum and dad spoke it in the home, she also speaks it. Came here many years ago
As a native English speaker I got halfway through the video and understood the majority of what was being said then noticed there were English subtitles as well. I didn't need them.
I am in Canada. I grew up with my grandparents and they came from Friesland in the 1950’s. I grew up with Friese and could understand it quite well but could never speak it. I am very proud of my Frisian heritage and have tried to learn as much as I can about the history.
Aren’t Frisians Dutch people?
@@AzureKite191 Yes but the Frysian language is much older dan Dutch, and Frysians have a hystory that goes a long way back
Dankjewel voor deze aflevering! Mooie regio en taal, Friesland!
Translations are on point and probably took forever, great job!
Thank you for the video about the frisian culture! It is suprising that people (especially younger) still speak it, also as a first language. My grandfather is frisian and was brought up in that language, I heard a lot of tales that he was mishandelled because of his language. My father emigrated to hungary, and married my mother, so I was brought up in both languages. With this video I got really interested in the language, and maybe I will try to learn it once I move to the netherlands, it was always really interesting to listen to my grandfather speaking frisian, and learn about my ancestors with him!
No vídeo foi falado holandês e frísio ou só frísio? Sou do Brasil.
A famous model Doutzen Kroes actually has Frisian as her first language, I remember when I met her once and talked with her, her Frisian accent was so thick I actually made a joke about it, didnt know she was a supermodel back then lmao, but yes, people like her helped rehyping the Praat mar Frysk (Just Speak Frisian) thing again, now I would say it is fairly normal for Frisians to speak Frisian - It is spoken everywhere - in schools - colleges (where classes are mostly bilingual - teachers will speak in dutch but converse with frisian students directly in frisian.) and in the office as well - especially handy when people want to have some private conversation amongst people from Holland lol.
One of the closest surviving linguistic relatives of English
Come on guys, I'm struggling enough with Dutch now you make me want to learn Frisian too 🤣 jk het is heel interessant, bedankt 😄
Danke für diese video ! ist wunderbar !
de video vind ik gewoon heel goed in elkaar gezet, gefeliciteerd!
supergoed idee dat er naast de mensen op straat ook een taaldeskundige werd geinterviewd, op deze manier heb je theorie en praktijk naast elkaar
tof gedaan👍
Die 'taaldeskundige' mag wel eens wat duidelijker en gearticuleerder spreken.
Frisian is much older than Dutch, and yes we speak Frisian here.
No,its the same age,old low Franconian (old Dutch) has older texts than old Frisian
Wilt u scoren? DAS geen beste zet - meid.
Frisian and Dutch derive from the same historical language, so neither language can be older than the other 😅
They share the same origin as English, French, Polish, Greek, Hindi, Tocharian etc.
Heel interessant! Dank je wel!
zo als altijd goed gedaan jongen...graag meer ..bedankt.
Uitstekend video en heel interessant! Wat kan ik nog zeggen. Altijd het best!
Ganske hyggeligt. Very cozy. Heel intressant. Tak. Thank you. Hartelijk bedankt. Danke schon. ❤
Goede video! Ik leer nog de basis van het Nederlands, maar Fries heeft ook al heel lang mijn aandacht. Ik hou van Germaanse talen
My father used to tell me that Dutch could be a very sophisticated language, but with my limited vocabulary I could never appreciate it. I enjoyed listening to the Professor's Dutch and reading the translation, as my first intro to a more educated version of the language.
This professor can't even speak good Dutch "Ingekromd" is a word which does not exist in our language. Ingekrompen is a good Dutch word. It comes from the verb 'krimpen', to get smaller.
It's very fun listening along and picking out words I can understand.
Informatief!
Very interesting!! I’ve dabbled in some Frisian in the past and I find it incredibly fascinating. I don’t speak Dutch, but I’m a native English speaker and B1 German speaker so Frisian is very interesting for me
Its like a mix of English, Danish, Dutch and German. As a danish speaker who knows a little German and Dutch I could actually understand around 75% of it lol.
It’s not a mix of anything. Would you say Dutch is a mix of Frisian and German?
There you go... I also pick up about the same ratio. I think the reason we Danes pick up that amount of understanding is due to our language having a lot of plattdeutch/plattysk vocabulary.
its - WRONG< ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I once knew a Danish girl who spent her gap year here in South Africa. She could understand Afrikaans from the get go. By the end of her year she was fluent.
wat een emotie heeft de host
Wat emosie toon die gasheer aan.
I'm Belgian but living in the US since 1995 and hooked on Douwe Egberts coffee that I order from a company here in Ohio who imports it from Holland. I just learned that Douwe Egberts dates back to 1732 and started by Egbert Douwe in Friesland...
Eindelijk kom je al naar Leeuwarden! Groetjes uit the hoofdstad van Friesland
Fantastic video! I enjoyed it so much. I want to do the FutureLearn course in Frisian. I also wanted to hear the native Frisian speaker (young woman) speak some real Frisian. Perhaps she was too shy. Dankjewel voor de groote werk.
Wauw, ik keek de vorige keer een video van Easy Dutch een stuk over een jaar geleden en ik had de ondertitelingen erg nodig, maar nu heb ik alles verstond. Trots op mezelf! Misschien hoef ik nu het Fries te leren...
Very important to preserve it I think because of its link to the very early history of English
Heel interessant!
I find it fascinating, my father speaks a broad Cumbrian English Dialect from the old Farming communities in the north in the UK, old Farmer slang dialect, I understood a lot of the Frisian Sentences completely,.The best places to go to get a sample of this is the Livestock auctions/sheep/cow sales, as these are where old family farming communities come together. People here are fairly isolated for many generations- also much/many remaining Viking place names still exist ( Melmerby), many towns called this, Maybe you could examine this in Frisian farming centres too? - its so close to old English.I would love to travel there and talk to the locals!!
There wasn't one single Frisian speaking! 🤣 Okay, 2 slowly spoken sentences by a professor outside Fryslân. 🤣
With some minor effort English can be made to be like Dutch and still be totally English, just change word frequency and drop some words and you' re almost there, haha. Same principle as described in this video lol.
I've heard farmers(boors) and country folk around Overijssel and Drenthe pronounce the word cow/koe closer to the English word for cow than the Dutch word, also the Scots come to mind who pronounce Cow/Koe almost the same as in Dutch. Also in Overijssel many people pronounce Nu/Now as Now lol and there even more examples.. The more I look into it the more I realise we all speak the same language but just use it different. Some broths are saltier than others I guess :D
Farmer > boor > Boer > NeighBOER, Near boer XD nabijboer > buur vrouw/man > burger > boer.
Thank you for this video. I am a native Frisian living in California. But, I speak fluent Fries to this day and would hate to see the language die out.
I don´t think it will die out. It is just in the city of Leeuwarden there are few people who speak it actively. When you go to wahetever village almost everyone speaks it.
I love the subtitles in both Dutch and English! Thank you so much! This is extremely helpful to learn Dutch! The timing is perfect, you show the sentences a fraction of a second before they are spoken, well done!
Very nice video. Bedankt!
Where İ grew up, Frisian Flag is a well known milk brand. 😊
Heel erg interessant! Ik kon bijna niks verstaan toen hij de zinnetjes in het Fries las. Ik snap dus de vergelijking met het Deens, dat ook onverstaanbaar is.
It's an interesting coincidence that a few weeks ago, I saw the Frisian ruler Radboud discussed/portrayed in the Dutch children's TV program "Welkom in de middeleeuwen". In this video, the professor discusses Radboud.
Mata Hari was portrayed by Greta Garbo in the 1930's movie "Mata Hari".
The bit about Mata Hari was amusing.
Danke für das VIdeo. Meine Vorfahren kommen aus Friesland :)
For all my closest Frisian cousins this is for you in Anglo-Saxon...."Ðæt wæs swiðe god"!!!
Was hael
😂
Finny, im am from Dorset England, grew up with a lot of old farmers who speak with a very deep accent and Frisian actually makes sense to me, not all of it but i can pick up a heck of a lot of the words, i do speak a bit of German too.
@Skreezilla
I believe the sentences used to compare the two languages in this vid would be in broad Dorset dialect (going off what I know from Barnes):
I still get thik question stupidly often, eben though it's bin zix months zunce I left Hexa.
What's the woost thing thou'st ivver a-zeed?
I'm from Sheffield in Yorkshire and these would be:
Aw still get dis question stupidly oftens, eiven dough it's bin six month sin Aw left Hexa
What's t'wurst thing da's ivver seed?
A very enjoyable video -- as always. I was particularly amused by the host's reaction to the mentioning of Mata Hari!
Yes, very stupid he did not know this name. She is so famous.
He is not Dutch or Fries.
He is young and probably hasn't heard of Greta Garbo either.
He didn't do any research prior to the interview else he would have mentioned Grutte Pier.
Btw, calling Peperga, Weststellingwerf Fryslân... marginally.
Trying to learn it currently because of what I call 2am shenanigans :)
The bad thing about this video is that it mainly focusses on Ljouwert, where Frisian is not the main language. You should have gone to other places, where Frisian is the main language, and there are many! I am a native speaker of Frisian and so is my entire family. We only use Dutch as a secondary means when there are people who don’t speak it. Or English, or German….
Next time we will try to go to other places with more Frisian speaking people! ;)
Goeie!¿how can i say i really appreciate it and thanks a lot for everything from all my heart in frisian language....?
It’s sad that most people in this interview are from Leeuwarden, a city where Frisian isn’t really spoken. While in most of the Frisian cities/villages its more common and a native language for many.
Nice video! I love learn about the culture, there are other dialects??
every region village or city has its own dialect here but most do speak standard Dutch
Frisian is not a dialect. It's a language.
I'm German, just starting off eith Dutch and I understand (German) Frisian - so this was a lovely patch work video for me 😊
Frisian is a beautiful language. This language should be protected.
Het is heel aardig om dit te vernemen van een Turk.
@@johanvandermeulen9696omdat turkse taalgroepen ook minderheidstalen kennen die dreigen uit te sterven in oost rusland. Zoals nogai, yakut, chuvash. van de kipchak turkse taalgroep. De oghuz turkse taalgroep overleeft goed in anatolië en azerbaijan
Leeuwarden is denk ik de enige stad waar heel weinig Fries wordt gesproken. Als je naar andere steden en vooral dorpen gaat spreekt bijna iedereen Fries!
Leeuwarden is een beetje een apart geval inderdaad. Er wordt weinig inderdaad weinig Fries gesproken. Maar het is wel de hoofdstad van de Friestalige provincie. Je vindt er de Fryske Akademy, de Afûk, het Fries Museum, Omrop Fryslân, en natuurlijk het provinciehuis waar veel mensen zitten die Fries spreken en hard werken om de Friese taal te bevorderen. Maar van de andere kant is het ook een stad waar de bevolking over het algemeen weinig Fries spreekt. Best wel apart.
Ik denk ook niet dat Leeuwarden de juiste plaats was om deze interviews te doen. Het stadsfries heeft hier natuurlijk de overhand, het Fries zelf wordt veel meer gesproken in de dorpen.
@@Jelisawesome Alle steden in Friesland zijn geen maatstaf. Daar worden bijna altijd stadsdialecten gesproken en dat staat soms heel erg ver van het Fries af.
Ik ben een dochter van emigranten uit Nederland... geboren in California - Mijn heit kwam uit Fryslan en ik kan Fries goed verstaan en ook wel een klein beetje spreken -en vind het mooi dat ik wel weet wie Mata Hari was. Echt een mooie video!
8:07 I think he made a mistake Fries already existed in the year 400 in The Netherlands and a lot migrated to England as traders a lot vikings adopted the Frysian language too in England, this caused Fries to be the first language, technically English originated from Fries.
As a Frisian myself, I would love a video like this but on Limburgish (ISO 639-1 code: li). Love the minor languages.
And Low Saxon, spoken in the eastern Netherlands, northern Germany and Denmark. It's a bit hard because they have been influenced so much by Dutch, German and Danish.

I’ve always loved learning about languages, especially the lesser known languages like Frisian, Chamorro, Ainu, Okinawan, etc.
It’s great to see people embracing their native tongue as part of who they are.
My Dutch teacher was actually originally from Friesland and was a native speaker of Frisian :)
Mijn lerares is ook Fries. Er zijn mensen die zeggen dat je dat nog steeds van mij kan horen.
Very interesting episode and well explained by the professor. Most young people have never heard of Mata Hari, but here in Australia, her name may occasionally be mentioned in Trivia Quizzes 😀. I must confess that I had never heard of Radbout but love the story told about him here. Peter Stuyvesant used to be a brand of cigarettes much advertised in the 1960s and from there learned that he was the last Director-General of New Netherlands, what is now New York and New Jersey. I ❤You Tube, so informative ; thanks again.
Nice. I think Greta Garbo had a lot to do with Mata Hari's "fame".
New Zealand, Arnhem Land, Van Diemensland sound familiar?
Greetings from The Netherlands.
Indeed, familiar names by the Dutch explores, Abel Tasman and Jan Carstenz ; Carstenz ships the Pera and the Arnhem. Van Diemensland is now Tasmania in honour of Tasman, also The Tasman Sea and Tasman National Park in New Zealand. Tasman could have discovered Australia but he chose the prevailing winds that took him to New Zealand instead. Captain Cook changed the name on his maps from Nieuw Zeeland to New Zealand. All the best.
@@Andy-sj2dv
😄 Spot on. I'm impressed.
You've been watching RUclips extensively.
Peter Stuyvesant was born in Fryslân but did he speak Fries in his childhood?
I went to primary (? 6-12 years old) school in Boyl, Friesland but I don't speak Fries. 😁
@@Andy-sj2dv
Btw
About discovering... _Australia_ or _Australis_ ?
There are several animals with *novaehollandiae* in their latin name. 🤔😉
Leuke vid
I really want to learn Frisian. I took German for four years in school and currently am learning Dutch, hoping they can both help down the road but it honestly has lead to me confusing German and Dutch a lot lol
So what's your first or native language?
I'm South African English speaking and. Speak fluent Afrikaans. Even though its a daughter of Dutch it seems to have more in common with middle English (vocabulary, gammar and vocabulary than Dutch but both Languages help a lot with understanding Friesian. I could easily understand it if they would speak slooowwwwly and. separate. the. words. 😄
Me too !
0:26 that crossing is in Groningen, not in Friesland. That pond behind you too btw.
Norway even made a Eurovision song about Mata Hari in 1976. It made last place. But hey! Skål for Friesland! 😊🇳🇴

Leuk dat jullie weer in Friesland waren, en ook weer in Dokkum!
Grappig dat Goffe over het Deens begint. Ik had ook altijd het gevoel dat Deens en Fries best dicht bij elkaar staan, zeker als je het leest.
Er was trouwens vorig jaar op Eurovision een liedje over Mata Hari van Azerbaijan. Ze is wereldwijd bekend.

As a Frisian, Leeuwarden is probably one of the worst places to go if you want to learn more about Frisian, lol
I don't even speak dutch, but those subtitles are super useful.
All Easy Languages channel follow this same concept, if you're interested to or are learning other languages, make sure to check out our other channels like Easy French, Easy German, Easy Greek, Easy Italian and so on! 😊
Maak je ook nog een keer een video over het Nedersaksisch? Aan je accent te horen kom jij ook uit dat gebied :)
It was interesting to hear when the professor said that Frisian was (or had been) similar to Old English, i.e., the original (Germanic) version of English before the enormous influence of French language (as after 1066, the "Norman" - at that time already genuinely French, instead of Viking - conquest)
As a native US English speaker that also speaks fairly good German I'm surprised how little I used the subtitles for this video with Dutch and Frieslandish
Yeah, while Dutch and German are pretty different sometimes, it certainly helps to know the one to learn the other.
There wasn't any Fries spoken. 🤣 Okay, 2 sentences
Ik vind het heel interessant met de verschillene talen. En daar is ja ook nedersaksisch niet ver met twents en gronings. Ik heb geen idee van de verschillen tussen de drie maar het moet mogelijk zijn de anderen talen te begrijpen. Ik kan een klein beetje plattduits en merk dat het nederlandse nedersaksisch heel soortgelijk is en nederlands ook, fries weet ik niet. En plattduits "lütt" is klein en de woord in fries dat de vrouw gebroukt heb, was bijna het zelfde.
Oud Engels lijkt inderdaad op Fries . Zelf versta ik redelijk wat Fries, maar ben een Groninger. Het Nedersaksisch dialect die wij hier spreken heeft natuurlijk ook wat Friese invloeden (wij gebruiken ook 'slim' voor 'erg' om maar een voorbeeld te noemen). Overigens 'Way' en "Wei' is in het Deens 'Vej' (wat klinkt als Vei). Voor noorderlingen (Friezen en Groningers) die naast hun taal/dialect ook nog Engels spreken is denk ik Deens niet de allermoeilijkste taal om te begrijpen (zeker niet als je de tekst kunt horen en lezen).
Waiting for an episode on Papiaments
Interesting that the interviewer had never heard of Mata Hari. I'm English and by the time I was 18, I'd heard of her. Peter Stuyvesant is also well-known internationally, but I'd never heard of the other Frisian he thinks is the most famous.
In Nijmegen there is the Radboud Universaty,but the best known Frysian was "Grôtte Pier",centuries ago,very tall man with a very big sword,fitting for an independent Frysland.
I've also heard before about Mata Hari, but Tim didn't, so maybe Mata Hari is more known in foreign countries than in her own country - not sure about that, but that's what I tend to think. :D

Jammer dat Leeuwarden wordt gekozen in de steden spreekt men amper Fries, mijn moeder komt uit Dokkum en die heeft pas Fries geleerd toen ze met mijn vader trouwde en in Grou gingen wonen, in dorpen wordt meestal Fries gesproken al wordt dat ook minder onder de jeugd, meestal dankzij Friestalige ouders die de kinderen in het Nederlands opvoeden, nergens voor nodig het Nederlands pikken ze wel op zodra ze naar school gaan dat is bij mij ook gebeurd, kleine kinderen leren heel snel een nieuwe taal.
Volgende keer gaan we naar plekken waar Fries écht gesproken wordt! :D We kijken ernaar uit!

Cricky - I speak English and Afrikaans and understand Dutch - but have no idea about Frisian! Lovely to know there is this ancient connection, but I'll stick to learning Dutch! ✌
i understood the video only because I speak afrikaans and english. I watch tv in dutch. I understood over 80 percent of the frisian. Maybe because my english is american?
Leuk.
la bandera y el entrevistador son tan lindos :o
A lot of Frisians speak a dialect only a small part speak "true"Frisian. I come from the south west of Frisia and speak "Gaasterlands" I also speak "Wald Frysk" and "True Frisian" and a city dialect called "Snekers". It's fun to be Frisian 😁
Wat leuk dat u uit Gaasterland komt. Van 1948 tot 1955 logeerde ik elke zomer 14 dagen op de boerderij van mevrouw Yntema in Hemelum. De schone klank van het fries is mij immer bij gebleven.

I'm an American & I understood much more of the Dutch than the Frisian. Of course, I've studied Dutch & German.
Till the subtitle is gone, and they are speaking, to you…
Im currently learnin russian, but every time i watch videos from Easy Dutch makes me wants to learn Dutch🇳🇱
You should!! Why not do both? I am currently studying German, Chinese and Korean in my free time. It's possible. You just have to select two evenings to really sit down and do a serious study session for both. And the other day it's just the ten minutes revision you do during lunch or you coffee break. ;)
@@mrrit thanks for the motivation! I really want to and ill give it a try
@@mrrit your story is very inspiring, now I'm struggling to learn with a mere number of 2 languages french and Dutch. And I will totally try your method
@@graysontan507 I sometimes fail a week too. But the week after I struggle to get back into it. I gave up wanting to catch up on my studyplan, and I allow my self to start slowly. So I just practice (read, listen, write, etc) for ten minutes one of the languages each day. Ten minutes doesn't feel like a big thing, but when I have applied that method I feel like I want to do more after those ten minutes I focus another ten minutes on another topic or language. But it's though, maintaining the study rhitemn is easiest, but know that by just watching these types of videos you are already learning, by actively listening and speaking out loud the words you know. I recently discovered the tool Reverso, it really gives great subtitles on RUclips and by hovering on the subtitle it gives the description of the words and if it's a noun, verb, etc. I wish I'd known it earlier on.
@@jacobs3848 you can do it! Waar een wil is, is een weg (meaning: when you really want something, you'll make it happen. Literally: 'when there is a 'will', there will be a road'. )
I read Dan Brown's "Inferno" in Frisian. "Ynferno". As a Dutch speaker I can vouch for the fact that reading just one novel in Frisian will make you a fluent reader in that language.
would you recommend Ynferno?
i want to see a video of how to get dutch friends
Leuke video. Opvallend was de connectie met het deens waar ze alleen de klinkers uitspreken. Ook het noors, waar nederlanders gewoon de krant kunnen lezen maar niks verstaan
Ik ben een Noord Hollander die een huis heeft gekocht in Friesland. Sinds ik in Friesland woon interesseer ik mij voor de geschiedenis die Friesland heeft. Toen ik als keukenverkoper bij een echt Friese keukenzaak ging werken verkochten collega's de keukens in het Fries in 40% van de gesprekken. Ik spreek geen woord Fries maar geweldig vindt ik het als ik met klanten ga zitten en de klant vraagt of het gesprek in het Fries kan waarop ik moet aangeven dat ik het grotendeels niet versta. De Fries schakelt direct naar Nederlands zonder dat er een spanningsmoment is.
Ben inmiddels een zeer gerespecteerde adviseur en werk met geweldige collega's. Nederlands, Fries , Engels en ik heb zelfs een keuken verkocht aan een Duitse vrouw die een vakantiewoning kocht op één van de eilanden want ik spreek vloeiend Duits. Je komt in Friesland alle talen tegen.
Betalen 😂
Wat knap van u dat u vloeiend duits preekt. Waar heeft u dat geleerd?
Gaan we Fries leren ? Leuk. Ik kijk wel eens naar Friese programma,s maar lastig te volgen..... Maar ik vind het wel een mooie taal !
I remember a TV program here in America several years ago, about the Friesian in Germany and how young Friesian people in Germany didn't want to speak Friesian. I studied a bit of Dutch in Belgium when I went there as a student.
East Frysian and North Frysian are both different dialects that are different from West Frysian which is spoken here in Fryslan/Friesland - together they probably are a collective of old Frisian.
Mooie docu, er had meer Frysk in gemogen haha
matahari means sun in Indonesian :) hello from Indonesia ! :D
Interesting, I could partially understand it, sometimes even I could fully understand it, Frisian. I do not know Dutch, But German... :D Really interesting. 14:05
Als Vlaming kon ik weinig maken van de zin als ze uitgesproken werd, maar de ondertitels in het Fries kon ik wel perfect begrijpen.
I think of the 3 people the professor mentioned I know Radboud the best as well. Although I knew nothing about him, tons of stuff is named after him, like a university and hospital in Nijmegen. I only learned Mata Hari existed about half a year ago when it came up on a knowledge quiz somewhere and I was like wait who? But I'm just a single anecdote, maybe if you actually research it you'd get a different result.
Mata Hari got her name when she was living in Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). she tend to fit in with the locals and came up with the name Mata Hari (literally: Eye Day) but without space the word "Matahari" means "The Sun" in Indonesian.
wat sou die verandering in uitspraak in afrikaans en nederlands veroorsaak het?
Voortreffelijke video, Tim en Mario. 😎
Een perfecte timing ook, want ik ben juist aan het lezen (voor de derde keer) van een Friese vertaling van Poe's _«De zwarte kat»_ !
Ik kan wel verstaan waarom het vele mensen, en zelfs sommige (vele?) Friezen, niet zo veel uitmaakt, dat Fries steeds minder gesproken wordt, ik vind niettemin altijd de dood van een taal erg jammer, om het zacht uit te drukken.
Het was een enorm plezier om naar Professor Jensma te luisteren, het zou prachtig zijn om er een tweede deel te krijgen.
Zeker weten, heb ik mij al in die Friescursus ingeschreven; er is helaas hier in Mexico niet de _geringste_ kans om aan zo een ding deel te nemen, dus het komt juist van pas, hoor. 😉
We zijn echt blij dat je dat leuk vond! :)
2:42 halloo dan
🔴⚪️🔵Just wanted to say 👋🏻Howdy from 🇨🇱Texas, brothers and sisters...Redbad! Good movie--I think thats who the gentleman was talking about--Very neat, wasn’t expecting to hear some Early European history❤️

Bent u een Rus?
@@johanvandermeulen9696 maakt dat dan iets uit
@@lars3321 Nou en of dat iets uitmaakt. Zijn voornaam luidt Wladimir. Zouden zijn ouders hem hebben genoemd naar Wladimir Lenin? O, maar dan komt hij uit een communistisch milieu. Dan is hij gevaarlijk. Gij heet Lars. Hebben jouw ouders scandinavische sympathieën? Ik ben een fan van de deense schrijver-cineast Lars Johansson (geb. 1949). Ik vertaalde van hem twee romans uit het deens in het nederlands. Kon tot heden geen uitgever vinden.
My grandma is frisian and i once heard her speak frisian over the phone with a friend, couldn't understand it at all. (I'm dutch)
