For German X-Ray: I have never heard anybody saying X-Ray. Everybody calls it Röntgen just like in Finish because Röntgen was the last name of the guy who discovered it and he was German.
Same in Hungarian.
I also was confused by that. In Austria we call it "Röntgen" as well. Nobody ever says "X-Ray" unless he is a foreigner.
I guess she forgot the German word 'Röntgen' cause she didn't understand the Japanese word. X-Ray is known here but almost no one use it except in some Science Fiction/Superhero movies or something.
Seems like she is not living in Germany for years to be honest... Part-Time job was also wrong, she just said "Arbeit", but it had to be "Teilzeitarbeit"!
I wonder why Germans nowadays always trying to use English words when they have perfect alternatives to use words that are actually German.
3:37 In Italy we do not say 'camera': the english word "camera" derives from the Latin 'camera obscura' (dark room), but in Italian 'camera' already meant room, , so we usually use "macchina fotografica" or "fotocamera".
yesss and also albergo aswell as hotel
@@imyour_angxl In Spanish, there are a *LOT* of synonyms. Hotel comes obviously from French, but from XV-XVII centuries we also had "albergue", "posada", "fonda", "venta" (that was used in Don Quixote), "mesón" (also French), "hospedería". Some might be Italian loans, very common in the Enlightment at "Quattrocento", don't know exactly which.
In French, camera is for make a movie.. For a photo we will say ''appareil photo'', or if you want to talk specific, you can say ''Compact, Bridge or Reflex. Reflex are the camera use by pro where we can change the lens.
Machine photographique ? Lmao 😂
@@hugokana6425'"Apparell photo'" can also be said in Italian as '"Apparecchio fotografico" in addition to 'macchina fotografica' or 'fotocamera'.
5:22 the subtitle is wrong! She says ”kalja”. Karjala is a place, and also a beer brand, named after said place! ”Kalja” is a casual way of saying beer, and ”olut” is like the offical word.
interesting, kalja is "suds" in english, Schaum in German. makes sense in a way. Olut sounds like it may be borrowed from Swedish or Norwegian øl
would love to see china more on this channel she’s really lively lol 😂
China looks very cute though.
Hi! I’m China from this video! Thank you so much for your nice comment✨Made me really happy! I hope you enjoyed the video:)
@@Chinasday no problem at all hope to see you more!
@@ChinasdayKon'nichiwa (こんにちは) China-san its cool that you and Ara get to appear in videos like this and becoming a new guest on the channel and hope we get to see you in future videos.
@@22martinez1 こんにちは！Thank you for your kind words✨
Camera is not an English word. It is a Latin word that was originally borrowed into Latin from Greek, I think, There is no reason why an Italian for example should pronounce "camera" as iin English.
German: we don't call part-time jobs mini-jobs. mini-jobs are a very particular kind of job in our job-market. it is called Teilzeit-Arbeit. Was very confused when the german girl said the japanese word for Teilzeitarbeit was Arbeit in German. Very strange.Same with X-Ray like others mentioned already. No one, really no one would say they got an X-Ray. We call it Röntgen. We even use it as a verb.
Sure there is a difference between Minijob and Teilzeitarbeit in law. But really no one says 'Teilzeitarbeit'. Most people say 'Teilzeit' or '(Mini-) Job'.
You are right that most people would say Teilzeit-Job instead of Teilzeit-Arbeit. But nobody would call a "normal" part-time job Minijob. This word is really only used for the extremely low working hours and income part-time jobs. Also her translation as just "Arbeit" is totally wrong.
X-ray in German is Röntgen (which again is a German loanword in Japanese. When the shogunate ended and Japan decided to modernize they took Germany as the example to copy, hence many modern but pre globalization words in Japanese have German roots and especially medical terminology is highly influenced by German (if I am not mistaken German was actually even used as the language of medicine for quite a while in Japan)
I heard it was Dutch, not German, because the Japanese only allowed the Dutch to trade with them for a couple of centuries. Modern medicine was even called "Dutch medicine" in Japanese and modern science was known as "Dutch science". Perhaps after the 1850's when Japan started opening up, they got more influenced by Germany. I know the Japanese found a love for beer, and I'm sure a lot of that comes from German beer brewing.
Did you ever hear of Rangaku?
Guys Konrad Röngten, was the German scienist who disovered the x-rays which were named after him in German. So Röngten is a family name!
@@Onnarashi Some German sounding words came to Japan with the Dutch traders, indeed. But later, when Japan opened up to the world, many words also came directly from Germany, since many German lecturers were helping with its modernization. The term "Röntgen" is actually the name of the German scientist who invented x-rays, and contrary to what was said in the video, no one in Germany uses the term x-ray.
And Finland has worked with Germany a lot, they for ex helped in the civil war against reds. The relationship has been quite tight over the centuries, so a lot of German influences from trade.
There is a difference between those two finnish words for beer. Back in the day ''kalja'' used to be very mildly alcoholic beer and olut is the actual term for beer. But nowadays kalja is just more used in spoken language and olut is more formal.
I feel kalja is cheeper, kinda normal beers, and olut refers to the better, a bit more fancier types like IPAs and such. Brewery marketing.
Olut sounds similar to the other nordic languages. 🇧🇻🇩🇰🇸🇪: Øl/öl.
@@valnadis8577 yes. Seems to be a loan word.
There's also two verbs for drinking beer: "juoda olutta" (to drink beer) or "kaljoitella" (if someone drinks constanly lots of beer).
@@SK-nw4ig yeah, i'd say so too!
i want more china in the next video :)
Hi! I’m China from this video! Thank you so much for your nice comment✨ Made me so happy!
@@Chinasday why is your name China when it pronounces Cheena? You have a special feeling to the county China or something
@@MIT612 Because my parents named me China! This is my original and only name I have, and it has nothing to do with country China! lol All of my family including me were born and raised in Japan! In fact, a lot of girls name ends by the sound “na” in Japan, and my parents somehow thought “china” would be unique and cute name hahaha I really hope you liked the video✨
@@Chinasday I like this series and the way you explain your country. Hope you won't get this wrong, but your original name is in Japanese not in English since Latin alphabet is not allowed to use for a baby name in Japan right? You converted it to English and spelled it "China" instead of "Cheena" or whatever pronounces your name, which is what I'm curious about
Wasn't German the officual language of Medicine in Japan for a long time? That's why Allergie is borrowed. And things like "Karte" for the patient file. Because Prussia / Germany were kind of the European partner that Japan used to Westernize and industrialize. Like the small 1-2 person police stations at many street corners (from Prussia), Western Medicine and the Civil Code. The German BGB was legal Basis / template for the civil codes in both Japan and South Korea, but also Greece and some other countries.
WTF
Albergo can mean hotel too. The video uses more Anglicized words, especially noticing the person representing Italy, since the original words are not being mentioned.
not a single german person says x-ray lol it’s always röntgen
Especially as it was an actual person and he was German, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.
Should be Herr Dr Hbf Prof. Titles are mandatory.
In Hungarian we also say Röntgen
I mean I am german and I already got some Röntgen in Germany as well and for me people used both Röntgen or Xray maybe it depends on region
In Russian we also say Rentgen) I think it's a borrowing from German.
n. 2 In Italy we don't say camera, we say macchina fotografica or fotocamera.
n. 12 we don't say raggi X, we say radiografia. Raggi X is what a form of radiant energy is called. X-rays are used to take radiografia.
In Italy we say "fare i raggi" as an alternative to the radiografia.
Camera means room normally, one of the ways to say it.
I do not think it is similar, you merely cherrypicked common things, latin words, germanic worss and brand names, which are all similar in different languages.
Largely words that were originally very technical from a latin origin base for the word that had to be used wherever it went cause it's impossible the local languages had a word for it beforehand.
@@AltrantisI get it, but the title is pretty misleading. It is not similar in terms of language family. Just technical academic nouns. I really do not like they compare the words in different languages without explaining their own origin. You can just easily google translate those words into words in different languages.
And they didn’t even select the word “champoo”. ;-)
I love that unique breathy "h" sound in Finnish.
Fun Fact :
The word "management" originates from the Old French "mesnagement," derived from the verb "mesnager," meaning to care for or administer, often related to managing a house or estate. This term crossed the English Channel to be adopted into English as "manage," evolving to encompass broader supervision and direction, especially in business. Centuries later, the English word "management" made its way back to French in its English form but with an expanded meaning related to business and organizational management. This linguistic journey illustrates how words travel and evolve between languages and cultures, enriching their meanings over time.
The majority of the words that foreigners have borrowed from English are actually of French origin. It's the strength of English through the United States and their soft power. But originally, all these words are French, and even before that, Latin, because French is a Latin language.
- Market / Marketing
- Manager
- Design
- TV (Television)
- Taxi
- Hotel / Hostel
- Restaurant
Etc..
They have older roots. Taxi comes from German, and before that from Greek. And before greek was the PIE "tag" which means "convenable"
So...
Convenable (PIE) -> ordered(Greek) -> measured(19th century scientific "Greek") -> taxi (German).
3:28 Nop!!! In french "caméra" is a video camera. For what the picture shows we say "appareil photo".
10:57 Nobody says "x-ray" or "rayon X". That's "radiographie" or just "radio"
On dit "Rayon X" aussi en français, mais dans un autre contexte.
Si, des rayons X on le dit...
@@Thunderworks Nan, tu ne dis pas je vais me faire rayonXifier, tu dis je vais me faire faire une radio.
@@CT-7567R3X je te jure ! enfin un peu de bon sens merci
I'm not French but I think that "radiographie" is radiography not x-ray. The difference between radiography and x-ray is the same difference there is between photography and light. X-Ray/X-Radiation/Rotgen radiation is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum (at higher frequency than UV, over 30PHz).
6:31 Finnish and Japanese are both agglutinating languages. It avoids consonant congestion.
Interesting
I think as english is the franca language nowadays is pretty common see words of all these countries similar , even though some aren't not even similar to each other , Taxi is basically the same in each language
I was just thinking that you have 5 beautiful women from countries that were part of the Axis: Japan, Germany, Finland and Italy. Then there's the two beautiful ladies from the Allies UK and France all together in one room learning about each other. These countries learned from their mistakes and built their countries up to become the wealthiest in the world. Great video.
it helps to be several generations removed from the trouble. people born in 1945 are going to be 80 next year. for these girls that means the war generation is like 4 generations older.
Maku-Iku. Kawaii😂. Ms. China gives me good energy!
In German it's not X-ray. We don't use that at all. I think she was confused. It's Röntgen, called after the inventor Mr Röntgen.
Herr Röntgen :)
10:54 That's wrong. In German it is called “Röntgen” and the radiation is called “Röntgenstrahl”.
I've never heard of "X-Ray" in German! And “we call it too” is wrong. We only call it only “Röntgen”.
11:26 I'm sorry but I have to say it like it is: Unfortunately wrong again. (I don't know if it's because of the age difference or because of the region I live in (Northern Germany)).
Only "Nudeln" is correct. “Pasta” is not a German word! Otherwise you say the type of "Nudeln": "Spaghetti" or "Spirelli" (Fusilli) etc.
I'm not german, but I think Nudeln is only the long shape pasta like spaghetti, tagliatelle and so on.
There is even the short shape pasta like maccherni, penne, etc. that cannot be called nudeln.
I think german to call both short and long pasta use the word pasta (it isn't a german word but a loanword from italian). This is the translation given by google. Is'it incorrect?
@@malaroboNudeln is used for every type of noodles. It doesn't matter if they are long or short, Italian style, German style or Asian style. Pasta could be used to specifically refer to Italian style noodles, but usually we would just call them Nudeln as well.
Also "Arbeit" for part-time job is flat out wrong. Arbeit just means work or job. Actually people will most likely think you are referring to a normal full-time job. Part-time job would be Teilzeit-Arbeit or Teilzeit-Stelle. Also Minijob is not quite accurate as this is a very specific type of part-time job where you can not make more than 538 EUR per month but you have to pay almost no income tax.
10:16 This is so wrong. In German "arbeit" means "work" but for "part-time job" the correct translation is "Teilzeitbeschäftigung".
The pronounciation similarities between Finnish, Japanese and Italian has made it easier for me to learn Italian since I started two months ago. The fact that it's also a relatively easy language to learn also helps. The grammar is very different between the languages though.
La pronuncia dell italiano credo sia molto facile da imparare, ma la grammatica é davvero ampia e sofisticata rispetto ad altre lingue.
would be interesting to compare japanese and spanish since most syllables sound very similar
Thank you World friends for another excellent video , I only speak English so it is very interesting to hear the other languages , all the ladies in the video are so sweet and happy and seem to get along together so well .
I've been researching the relationship between Japanese, Ainu and Indo-European languages at an amateur level, and there are some basic words that are similar, such as goose (ganso in Portuguese) being the word "gan" in Japanese. In addition, in grammar, the past tense of Japanese verbs often ends in -ta, and in Indo-European languages it is common for past participles to end in t or d. Also, infinitives often end in -ru, a feature found in Italic languages. Considering these points, it is likely that there is a relationship between ancient Chinese, which is thought to have grammatical similarities with Japanese, Ainu, and Indo-European languages, mainly in the conjugation of verbs. think. In Germanic languages. There is the word "high", which may have the same origin as the Chinese word "高".
At present, I believe that Tocharian B and Ainu are the most similar in terms of vocabulary, and then there is contact between Altaic languages and Indo-European languages through Tocharian, and mainly Indo-European languages have a strong influence on Altaic languages. I think it may have been.
Yes but "gan" "ganso" could have been Portuguese influence in spreading their language around during their Asian explorations in the 15th-17th centuries.
@@am74343 Do you have any sources about that? As far as I know, goose was pronounced ngan in ancient Chinese. Also, this bird seems to have been called kari in old Japanese. It is unknown how it was called in Tocharian A and B. Also, ganso itself was borrowed from Germanic, and goose in Latin was probably anser. It is unknown how goose is called in Lusitanian or Celtiberian.
I love the way how Finnish is really similar to my language, Hungarian. This is understandable tho, because Hungarian is made of mostly Finno-ugric languages, but I had no idea it was THIS similar!!
I was shocked when Finnish said "Röntgen".
In Hungary, this is the same, and this is how we write it down, but we sometimes or mostly say it without the "T"
It's "rönngen"
In French we don't say camera, we say appareil photo.... Louaaaannne !!!!
I've been studying Japanese for a while now and I'll still get confused sometimes trying to understand a Japanese person say an English word with the Japanese pronunciation. Some are these weird abbreviations of words like テレビ for television or レジ for cash register. Some are a complete mystery like コンセント for power outlet. Not sure where that comes from, maybe Dutch or Portuguese?
手前の日本の人がずっと韓国語喋ってるからか分かんないけど、ビールとかの発音がめちゃくちゃ韓国語っぽく聞こえるw
While studying Spanish at the uni, a friend of mine showed me some misheard Japanese songs with the presumed lyrics subtitled in Finnish, because the sounds are somewhat similar in both languages. I no longer remember the titles of those quite fun YT videos though (probably performed by Kei?). 😂
Oh my! We do the same with Korean K-Pop because some words sound to our hears very Italian. There are lots of videos on YT: search K-Pop italianizzato. Very funny (for us).
The British one DOES NOT want to be there 🙂

I said before, Finnish & Japanese language are a little similar though they're very far from each other!! They do add extra letters in the end of some words. This is so interesting to hear two of them in one video.
No suprise both cultures and Langs and nation are Asians forever. And have mutual love and admiration inter them, the connection Japan and Finland it's concrete and visible.🥂✌️🥂
💙🇫🇮🤍🇯🇵❤️
As a french, my ears are hurt just by hearing “qwacksant” and no “croissant” you have to pronounce the R strongly !
you should visit some southern areas of germany and eat a Krossoo
The way the Finnish lady pronounces some of the words… it sounds a lot like my mother tongue, Hungarian.
Well they are both uralic so thats why 😊
Finns, hungarians, Estonians karelians all are Asians and have powerfull afinities with japaneses.
It's really very very normal.
So are they dating now or what?
china is so charming and adorable!
Fact she is❤
Hi! I’m China from this video! Thank you so much for your nice comment! You are so sweet💖

Camera in Italian is Room, so no, we don't say camera, we say fotocamera or macchina fotografica or macchina da presa or cinepresa.
We drop the "e" in "camera" in my part of the US too, like Xen.
We also spell "beer" like Xen but say it like Jessica. I would only use "beer" to order a lager, bock or pilsner (all are lagers). If I was ordering an ale, stout, or porter, I would call it those names, even though all 3 of those are ales, and essentially beers as well. They are all so different in taste I can't think of them as the same thing.
It made me wonder where the Spanish word "cerveza" comes from. I thought the Italian word might be similar to that.
I almost didn't notice when Jessica said "pasta oder nudeln". It has to be difficult to be flipping back and forth between two languages and trying to say "or" in front of a German word, and besides, we hear it as "or" anyway. That word must have started out as some form of "other" in Olde English, and then got the shortened version of "or" as another word, to make it easier to say/sound smoother.
"Beer" is a germanic word. Spanish "cerveza" derives from latin "cervisia" by gallic origin. In Italian we use usually "birra", but there is the ancient word "cervogia" used only in literature in some contexts.
Kalja is table beer and olut is beer.
Karjala is Karelia, but also a beer brand.
Olut looks as it comes from Swedish Öl (like ale in English).
China’s vibes just hit right! Would love to see her in more videos
Camera in Italian, is usually a room. Videocamera, the Italian word, translates to a video recorder/ camcorder.
Would be nice to have a Hungarian and a Finnish in 1 video…maybe a Hungarian and a Turkish with grammatical similarities and vocabulary? :)
I like Finnish jokes about Japan language. Why did a Japanese person go outside in the snow with his mouth open, because the weather forecast said the snowfall is heavy (Finnish use sake(a) replace heavy).
Hungarian (Not in this Group) and Finnish are Uralic languages, while the other European languages in this group are Indo-European languages.
Olut in Finnish comes from Scandinavian/Germanic/English "ale".
I didn’t find it in the comments but I’m kinda confused: The girl to the very left is introduced as Japanese but the whole time she’s speaking Korean…!? Also at least some of the words are pronounced by her as you would in Korea rather than Japan. 0:30
A Portuguese and Dutch person would be interesting in this video. Japanese has a fair amount of words borrowed from Portuguese and Dutch since the Portuguese were the first Europeans and westerners to arrive in Japan in the 16th century, and later the Dutch.
do you have an example of Portuguese words in japanese?
@@Felipekimst pan is the biggest one that comes to mind

For TH in french the H is silent, like my name is Thibault, you pronounce tibo and btw the real meaning is "The bold" you have to merge the different spelling for that name, thibault / thibaud, actually all the English letters are silent. The same is not true for the name Thibald (the bald) the H is silent but not the ld.
The young Lady from Germany unfortunately doesn´t know very much about the German language and history - or this old German guy doesn´t know much about how the German language is used among young people today. Hmmm, maybe the letter is more likely.
Du hast recht, denn sie wusste nicht mal, dass man Röntgen(bild) sagt anstatt „X-Ray“ 😂
this is how we learn about the german the young germans speak. I have accepted that this is the case. no judgement. I can definitely tell that young germans speak much better german than what was typical for my generation. I have been in the US for some 30 years now, and my german is definitely frozen in time. Works okay with old people, but people entering university now do not speak like me
But even young Germans don't use X-Ray at all. Even medical professionals would call it Röntgen. I think she didn't realize that the english word x-ray means what we would call Röntgen. So she just said how Germans would pronounce the english word x-ray. Later she realized her mistake and probably wanted to downplay it by saying you could say both.
Did someone recognize the background song which starts at 0:20 (till 2:18)?
Ok brand names and newer inventions are not similarities. They are proper nouns, so they should sound close to the original language of the brand...
all languages created by us it's quite funny n cutest ❤❤😊😊
part time job is "teilzeitarbeit" in german
The subtitles are wrong we dont say beer as "karjala" we say it as "kalja". Also Finnish and Japanese have so many similar words outside of this video its kind of crazy!
I'm pretty sure these are deliberate mistakes at this point to get more comments.
Not at all crazy! Finnish (Suomi) originates from central Asia and is part of the widespread Uralic/Altaic language family, which is gramatically not related to Indo-european languages.
If I remember it right, also Japanese (Ryūkyū) and even Korean are considered Altaic languages.
So Finnish is actually closer related to Japanese than to the Germanic and Slavic languages of it's neighboring countries.
@@jattikuukunen Ive seen a couple of their videos and they always manage to write the Finnish things wrong!
China（チナ） ILoveYou❤️❤️❤️
Finnish words can actually end in a consonant, and they often do - at least in t, r, s, n, l
I swear Finnish is to charm people!
There’s no way the girl on the left (the 2nd „Japanese“ girl wearing the blue shirt) speaks Japanese. I am not sure but sounds like Korean. You should correct the information.
She’s japanese but she speaks korean too, producer is korean
Part time job is not arbeit in german, it would be teilzeitstelle or teilzeitarbeit. And x ray is röntgen
イタリアのねぇちゃんすこ
Finnish isn't a indo-european language, so many words are totally different from the other in this video. Japanese isn't neither but we word chosen here are mainly loan words from English
in UK we say 🐻
I love you in Finnish: minä rakastan sinua
for example Allergie is a germanism in japanese アレルギー how other medical words
Edit: it comes later in the video and arbeit too
アルバイト
😅
now do Asia and Africa similarities
マクドって関西弁やんW
Keep in mind that there was a time when Germany and Japan were not so distant from each other, if you know what I mean. Just saying.

Video: Japanese girls talk to a Finnish girl. Other girls are also there.
aint the girl on the left, wearing blue, korean and speaking korean ?
She’s japanese but she studied korean! Producer is korean, that’s why she speaks it
Finnish often sounds like Hungarian. They come from the same language family.
Taxi is pronounced the same in both languages

Why are we SIMILAR?
Borrowed words, that’s why.
Also do Japanese and Turkish. That's also crazy!
ARBEIT comes from RABOTA
that is not really the case, both come from a common proto slavic word orbot. definitely cognates, though.
Imposibru...
the english girl had nothing else to add? she seemed so unimpressed lol
Hh I was listening but also please remember these video are all edited.😅
teilzeitjob
No spanish, smh
One can also say "Hörnchen" for "Croissant" in German.
