      I was getting my nails done by a Vietnamese woman once, and the word “hazard” came on TV. She went and grabbed a calendar and pointed to the word “Kwanza” and asked what it was! I’m assuming the ‘Z’ is what correlated the two since we hardly use that letter

    • @harsimaja9517
      @harsimaja9517 4 года назад +464

      The second one has more consistent rules and it comes from Greek, so the French have a cognate word almost exactly like it just pronounced with different (but both-ways consistent) rules.
      Thorough is a Germanic word, not closely related to anything in French, and since the loss of an actual gh sound spelt with the well known cursed ‘ough’, which is very irregular in English.

The word "travelling" as been dumbed down for the same reason. (Originally, double the final consonant and add "ing" because you keep the vowel neutral instead of bright.)

      I feel like there was a clever English teacher in his past who gave them a mnemonic device for remembering how to remembering how to approximate squirrel in the first year of his studies - “the squirrel is your square friend!” but then the wrong thing stuck. Because there is always that one kid in the class...

    I had a cousin who bought a car after graduating from college. This was in 1991. She described it as a Cavalier Chevrolet 1991 wit hair conditioner. At the time, I was still in university and had a 1982 Cavalier and was in awe of modern technology. Mine had a block eater though.

    • @boptillyouflop
      @boptillyouflop 22 дня назад

      English makes long words difficult somehow... The Latin and Greek words end up with stress in weird places, and the long series of syllables are contrary to the syncopated rhythm of the language. French handles long words quite differently, which is why they struggle.
