7:00 In Polish there are 3 types of 'pluralized' country names: 1) same as in English: The United States (Stany Zjednoczone), The Netherlands (Niderlandy), The Phillipines (Filipiny); 2) two most populated countries that in Polish their originally feminine sounding names like in English were decided to be pluralized (Indie and Chiny instead of India and China) 3) countries in Europe that preserved their names in forms of supposed tribes' people names (as Poles hundreds of years ago perceived it, often not very correct) living in certain areas: Germany-Niemcy ('mute people'), Hungary-Węgry ('people of the Hun'), Italy-Włochy (Vlachs, living rather in today Romania than Italy), Czech Republic-Czechy (self explanatory, we weren't wrong here).
9:37 the reason Minnesota’s state motto is in French is because there where French explorers here(in Minnesota) specifically the western part which is where I live in a county called Lac qui parle which is also French for lake that speaks
lol, I commented about that too. I also mentioned the french voyagers who traveled the great lakes by canoe, and whom "voyager national park" is named after.
Fun fact! The dollar is etymologically related to a type of Dutch coin from the time of the gulden. A Bohemian town known as something-thale had a mine which made a lot of coins. Those coins would be called thalers, eventually turning into daler, and daalder the Dutch coins. According to Wikipedia a regular daalder was worth 1,50 gulden and a rijksdaalder was worth 2,50 gulden. Meanwhile the name further evolved in English to the word "Dollar", which is a story I assume you know the rest of. Also gulden means something like gilded, and comes from a bastardization of gouden florijn. That literally means golden florint, the currency of Florence, which was used a lot in the HRE back in the day (~the 15th century). The more you know.
The tourism in Prague is absolutely crazy, I recently visited Prague and heard no Czech, everybody spoke English, it didn't feel like Czech Republic xdd
There are a ton of Lebanese people in Liberia. I know it goes back to the Lebanese civil war of the '80s. A guy who worked in corner store near me was Druze from Lebanon. As a Druze, his family was easily able to get refugee status in Israel. They decided to move to Liberia rather than staying there. This guy was fluent in more languages than anyone I know. Spoke both Arabic and Hebrew as a child. Learned English and French in Liberia, and picked up Spanish here in the US.
9:14 Historical fact: The Virginia State Motto, "Sic semper tyrannis", is what John Wilkes Booth is said to have cried out immediately after he shot President Lincoln.
@12:30 The Belgians, Luxembourgers and Francs had their own Francs, but the Swiss now the only ones who still use their own Francs, but they share the Swiss Franc with Liechenstein. Ireland had its own pound but they called it the punt, which is just a Gaelic version of pound or pfund. Cyprus has the pound too, but since it was partitioned Greeks would call it a livra, while North Cyprus used the Turkish lira ... and a lira/livra/livre is basically decendents of the Roman Unit the "libra pondo" to which we also get pounds.
Minnesota chose a french motto likely due to the french voyagers who transported goods by canoe through the great lakes to Duluth. There is even a national park there called voyager national park. Since that is way up north, that is likely the reason it translates to "the star of the north."
If you sent SMS (and phone calls on that note) to other countries you need to pay additional charge for that hence if you want to communicate with people from other European countries and not pay fortune you will use online messenger apps for that
5:50 Germany had more tourist arrivals in that year than a couple of the countries that (/the capitals of which) showed up in this ranking. It's just that not everyone visiting Germany goes to Berlin. Germany's spread out population centers mean that there are things to see in many places. Meanwhile if you go to France, you're probably going to Paris.
5:09 Each and every one of these cities saw more visitors in 2023 than the city's population, Amsterdam got 27 times as many tourists as it has residents. In fact, Amsterdam, Vienna, Prague, Budapest and Athens got more tourists than the population of the whole country they're in, which is ridiculous.
3:48 speaks about number of people to enter the consumer class in 2024 but refuses to elaborate what the consumer class actually is. The consumer class is defined as the people who spend at least $12 per day. *Flies away
2:42 its pretty crazy to know that the port of Ningbo-Zhoushan is right next to the port of Shanghai (and the port of Hangzhou but i havent seen it mentioned) and the 3 ports of Shenzhen, Guangzhou & Hong Kong are right next to each others China needs a bunch of ports just for trade
5:08 Based on the information from this image Seattle gets more tourists annually than London. 33.8 million compared to 27 million. I was confused about it at first, but then started thinking about international vs domestic tourists. When you factor that in London becomes by far the more popular city with 27 million tourists compared to Seattle's 2.9 million and it all starts to make sense again.
8:19 I feel like the trick with these is to try to apply for citizenship of another country that doesn't allow you to have multiple nationalities, then tell the country that you're applying to that you can't renounce normally, and make that country pressure the country you're from
6:50 kinda we have a lot of germans here in like XIII century and we called them Niemcy (literaly people who can't speak cause we didn't understand them) also a lot of italians when queen Bona was a wife of polish king and czechs and hungarians cause of our reliationship with this countries. i think it's happend because there where so many of them
If you are going to visit Vienna I recommend the towns garbage disposal building. It was designed by a very famous arcitect and looks amazing. Vienna has lots of amazing buildings, but this one is surprising because it is used to turn garbage into energy and looks very cool.
We actually have native texting apps on Android (depending on the manufacturer) the problem, at least for us Brazilians, is that this method requires you to have an active phone line and every message you send is charged. These native apps didn't use to support file sending too, only text. So when WhatsApp came, it was an immediate success here, not only because it allows you to share any media you want with ease, but mainly because, as long as you have any connection to the internet, it's absolutely free!
6:23 I would Argue The United States is a pluralised name. I'm learning French and its much easier to know. If its pluralised you put > then the name of the country if the country is not pluralised you put >, > or
I don't think Laos or Belarus are countries with plural names. Ending in an "S" doesn't necessarily make a word plural. I did know that California's motto is "Eureka" (granted, I'm a former Californian)
11:07 In the Netherlands at least it's that sms messaging in the past, and still now but to a much lesser degree, had a limit and if you wanted to go over that you had to pay. WhatsApp is just free as long as you have internet so it's the easier choice.
For the currency one, Irelands 'Pounds' were often called 'Púnt' pronounced exactly like 'punt'; I still hear some in western Ireland say Pounds and or Púnts instead of Euro some times. My family still have some Púnts laying about
(8:40) What makes it worse is how Texas can be so hateful to people not fitting their "rules"; wrong skin, ethnicity, sexuality or such, and they're not your friend but enemy. But they can be friendly to people fitting their "rules".
Drew dunking on Texas 😂 But for real, "Tejas" literally means "friendship" in Caddo, a regional Native American language.... And knowing that somehow made the dunking even funnier 😂
For the banana one it might be due to the fact, at least for Italy and Germany, they were made of many different countries in the past. Especially Germany lol.
I'm not surprised at all that Barcelona was the second most visited city in Europe in 2023. The tourism issue is so out of control lately. Going to the city center of Barcelona lately is unbearable. Even in February, it's full of tourists. T-T
I do actually know people who have done Singapore-Manchester, it was worth it being Singapore Airlines, but now they generally change over in Abu Dhabi (my SIL is Singaporean).
I'm Polish. 'Te' in polish means 'these'. Par exemple: Te Włochy, Te Węgry, Te Czechy, Te Niemcy, Te Niderlandy (even though most people still say Ta Holandia(This Holland(feminin))).
One of the reasons New Mexico is so low on that list is that we don't actually have an NFL team, or any professional sports teams for that matter. We're too poor, and the Broncos and Cowboys are both right there.
When talking about Tourism in Europe, there is a reason, why Germany is not on that list. Its simply that due to our history of having been almost 2.000 independend states at one point, the regions have developed very independend and only were centralized in 1871, in the midst of the industrial revolution, meaning several big places like Ruhrgebiet, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin or Baden have already existed. Then you have two world wars and 40 years of partition, meaning Germany has just so many very distinct and different places to go to, that neither one claims almost all of them. As you see, most of europe has only their capital drawing people, and even beyond that, most countries have only one or two important places for turism. Examples being London and the Manchester/Liverpool Area in the UK, Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, Paris and maybe Lyon or Marseille in France, Malmö and Stockholm in Sweden, or Vienna and Salzburg/Insbruck in Austria. Only Italy has more (for mostly the same reason as Germany, as it was only recently united), with Milan, Rome, Turin, Venecia, Florence, Napoli, Palermo etc. And Germany has Berlin (13.9 million pre Covid), Hamburg (7.6 million), Munich (8.7 million), Frankfurt (6.3 million), Cologne (3.8 million), not to mention general areas like the Alps, Harz, North Sea, Baltic Sea, Rhineland etc. When it comes to absolute Tourism-Numbers, Germany ranks on 8th worldwide in number of visitors (2018), in Europe only beaten by France (1.), Spain (2.), Italy (5.) and Turkey (6.) which are all countries that have Mediterranean access, so duh.
