How the times of day, days of the week and months of the year got their names
Pokemon Gym leader names or Papa in other languages
The rarámuri of Chihuahua have a very vibrant and lively language still alive that’s hardly touched on by linguists. Would love to see more on them
Medical instruments

Find someone who looks at you the way Tolkien looks at trees 🙏
5:27 Unfortunately this scene isn't in any of the films. The reason Sam plants the seed galadriel gave him is to replace the party tree, which Saruman had cut down after he invaded the shire. The invasion of the Shire plotline is cut from the films apart from a brief glimpse of it as a possible future in Galadriel's magic mirror.
They should a make a movie about the invasion of the shire
@@o_s-24 Probably not enough material that non-LOTR lore lovers would watch sadly.
@@Idk-ys7rtif Amazon can make a whole series based on 3 pages of the appendix, I think there’s enough material to turn the scouring of the shire into a short movie
The Huorns have a couple of short scenes in the Extended Edition. When Treebeard decides to attack Isengard with the Ents, in the distance you can see some Huorns move in another direction and Treebeard mentions they're headed for Helms Deep. After the battle of Helms deep they have another short scene where they destroy the Urukhai army that flee into their forest. If I remember correctly in the books all they do is remove the dead Uruks bodies the night after the battle.
I’ve always wondered why the various body types of cars (saloon, estate, cabriolet, etc.) got their names
In English (British English) or American (American English)?
@@vincent412l7 well both
Estate was the name given to the wagon that was used to go hunting on an actual estate (large wealthy farmhouse). Saloon comes from the Old West, a saloon is a type of bar. No idea how that got applied to a car. Cabriolet is a French word derived from "cabriole" (caper), which describes the vehicle's lightweight speed. Used to refer to a small hooded doorless single horse carraige, which eventually morphed into a roofless horseless carraige. Hatchback gets it's name from the rear door "a hatch". This inturn gets it's name from the pattern used to illustrate a section of an object that has been cut (hatching). Since a hatchback looks like a sedan with the boot sawed off. Coupé is a French term derived from the word "Couper" (to cut), it got applied to two seater carraiges cuz they are shorter than full-sized ones, eventually it morphed into a two-door car with a sloping fixed-roof. Sedan was a type of chair that was carried by two porters via two poles, the 3-box silhouette of the early car echoed the look of a sedan chair being carried. Eventually it was applied to 4 door cars with a boot as the car industry exploded in popularity. Spider/spyder are used by the Italians and Germans to refer to a small lightweight roadster, as lightweight as well - a spider.
2:17 Close, Valinor is actually the specific area. The whole continent is called Aman, And Valinor is a realm in the middle of it.
Also, Not all the elves came from there, Or technically none of them did, Some went there and then came back. If memory serves they originated in the far east of Middle Earth, Then travelled westwards, With many reaching Valinor, however some also stayed behind, Becoming known as the Sindar and Avari, And then afterwards some of the Noldor (One of the groups who did make it to Valinor) returned to Middle Earth. Among the Noldor was Galadriel, and among the Sindar was Legolas, Among many others, Although these are probably the most famous of each group.
(Elrond was actually descended prominently from both the Noldor and Sindar, As well as from a number of Men, and one of his ancestors was even a Maia, Which are I suppose best described as like angels? Gandalf and the other wizards were Maiar, and Sauron was originally one as well.)
as a rabid Tolkien geek I really enjoyed this one, please do more!. I find the Two Trees of Valinor to be the most interesting as their light was holy and it physically changed the elves expose to it into the Eldar
The last light of the Two Trees of Valinor was incorporated in Earendil's Star, which was the light of the last Silmaril. That light was in the Phial of Galadriel she gave to Sam Gamgee in Lothlorien before The Fellowship of The Ring set forth from there.
i love that ents tree sheperds were made because of a marital disagreement aule made the dwarves and gave them a love of building and axes, his wife yavanna wept, because her trees would die enmasse due to them. so illuvitar granted the shepperds. remember at that time even the elves had not awakened let alone the trees, which never came till after the sun
TOPIC IDEA, the origin on why blackmetal type logos,names are so hard to read. You know what im talking about
Since books are being mentioned, maybe a video on the latin origins of the harry potter spells. I dont know jack about HP and dont really care for it(and dont get me started on the voldemort of an author) but the latin usage behind it always fascinated me. I took a latin class in high school and learned about the surprisingly heavy latin usage used in the franchise.
If Tolkien lived today, he could be an environmentalist.
He was an environmentalists during his own life. He had some serious beef with internal combustion engines.
i think he would have hated modern times so much. that is why he wrote about medieval like worlds.
username... checks out?
I always wondered how the places on the Monopoly board got their names.
Look up a map of London, you'll find all the names
Atlantic City New Jersey, I believe.
Depends on what kind of monopoly you play but they’re usually named after real places
@@pupdawn Is there a LotR monopoly ?
Loved this as much as the big T loved leaves
This made me wonder how many languages were created for books, movies, TV shows, that people actually (try) to use. Klingon comes to mind. The Belter language in The Expanse books and TV series is another. Are there more? Are they all sci-fi/fantasy?
Lewis Caroll played fast and loose with English in Grammar/Meaning and New/Gibberish Words. Shakespeare coined either new words or new idioms/phrases. Daniel Defoe might have mentioned a few words and Jonathon Swift in the Lands Guillver went to but they were not full blown languages.
I see that tolkien has no issue with putting accent marks where they don't belong😂
Great video :)
I don't know if you have examined fictional languages, but I'm sure lots of people (not myself) would be interested in Klingon.
Like Tolkien, I to love trees.
Trees are nice!
😮

Well actually...
just go read a book"..... but Patrick what are books made of....? .😩😩
where did the word GOD came from plz tell
From wikipedia:
The Proto-Germanic meaning of *gudą and its etymology is uncertain. It is generally agreed that it derives from a Proto-Indo-European neuter passive perfect participle *ǵʰu-tó-m.[1]: 193-194 This form within (late) Proto-Indo-European itself was possibly ambiguous, and thought to derive from a root *ǵʰew- "to pour, libate" (the idea survives in the Dutch word giet, meaning "pour") (Sanskrit huta, see hotṛ), or from a root *ǵʰaw- (*ǵʰewh2-) "to call, to invoke" (Sanskrit hūta). Sanskrit hutá = "having been sacrificed", from the verb root hu = "sacrifice", but a slight shift in translation gives the meaning "one to whom sacrifices are made." Thus it can be related to the ancient Indian name Gautam and its Sanskrit roots.
@@Paolur Would one to whom sacrifices be made be of this world ( a man claiming a status of tribute , often by war conquering) , or not of this world, "to pour" is somewhat of a root of some creation myths/stories/accounts.

second!
I love your channel dearly, but if you are going to cover Tolkien's linguistical creations please learn how to say the words correctly so we can respect his profession and labors behind it and appreciate it as it was meant to be.
If only he left a thesaurus/dictionary for us plebs who can't just write to him.
@@xyreniaofcthrayn1195 there are communities and resources to help, it takes only a couple minutes to use the internet of all things to figure it out. This video was not put together well at all, and should be much better for somebody who explains the origins of words and has LOTRs build sets in the background. This video was probably made for the views though.
Maybe we shouldn't gaitkeep. Not everyone has an expansive knowledge of middle earth. The books are for everyone to read and saying that the video is bad just because of some pronunciation mistakes and mistakes in the law. I mean have you seen any of his other videos, he is always pronouncing non English words wrong.
@@SamBeck6090 I'm not gatekeeping anything. Language channels on CZcams are more successful if people can understand them. It's a fictional language, so if anybody is curious about how the words really sound, they have a right to look that up on CZcams also. "Gatekeeping" , people should probably learn when it's necessary to use that word too, I think you meant "quit being an asshole" just say it lol
He says “fink” instead of “think” it’s his beautiful accent❤
Ahhh, Tree's.
