Tango, Chivito, and when in doubt, just say "whatever, we hosted won the first world cup" to win any argument. Enjoy this episode! WHY? BECAUSE #URUGUAY!!
36 seconds ago??
Use the World Cup as an argument whenever.
Yeah uruguay!
The Uruguay Hymn is made by an Hungarian emigrant, who became part of the country. Debaly Ferenc Ferdinand.
Is Uruguay pronounced "oo-roo-gwhy" or "yoo-roo-gwey"?
As a Canadian my favourite thing about Uruguay is how the main aspect of their identity is not being Argentinean just like how Canadians mainly identify themselves as not being American.
Indeed. 🇺🇾 being 🇺🇾
Take off, you hoser! jk
Hi, I'm Dutch, not German
As another Canadian, completely agree.
@@guenthersteiner9252
Dutch not Deutsch? XD
It feels weird seeing this serie is coming to an end
yeah
They should remake their first videos.
No one know what I said this reply
They’ll probably remake their older vids
Zimbabwe will be the last prply in 2024
As a uruguayan I really liked this video, nice job!! Though I have to remark a mistake, we are not known as "porteños" those are argentinians from Buenos Aires.
I was going to make the exact same comment! Video approved by Uruguayans
Thank you loco! I was about to make the same correction lol If there's something we don't want to be known for, is by Porteños 😂
YES, was going to say that mistake and 87 more mistakes on the video... okey, not 87, but way many of them... im a Tour Guide and Historian.-

Beautiful country, amazing people, gorgeous flag! Love from Greece!!! 🇬🇷💙🇺🇾
the same I can tell from your country, I visited it 2 months ago and I got surprised about the beauty of all the places I could visit.
I hope I can return some day.
Greetings
Hey, we have a nice greek community in Uruguay as well! Great people❤
❤❤❤All my loving for Greece! Hey! And our flags look so similar.... 🫂🫶
In addition to the flag being very similar, Uruguay and Greece share the same "slogan": Freedom or Death. And the Greek flag, like the Uruguayan, does not have a defined shade of blue. So the color has varied over time, being a lighter or darker blue, often depending on the political side. In addition, the Uruguayan sun is very similar to some representations of the sun, in Greek culture, and other flags and symbols in the culture of the countries of the Mediterranean region. They are very interesting coincidences. The Greek flag always caught our attention as Uruguayans at school, because the question always arises as to which country has that similar flag.

Noah portraying Uruguay boasting about winning the World Cup in every argument is incredibly accurate
Uruguay: "Technically we won the world cup 4 times"
Germany: HA!
It's like Brazil, but in our case we say "we won 5 world cups, what about you?"
@@jeffafa3096Italy as well (not to mention Brazil, but that probably won’t matter since Uruguay beat them once)
One thing not explained in the episode is the amount of futbol that is actually played by Uruguayans on a regular basis. A complete order of magnitude compared to anywhere else.
Can´t believe they include that in the episode, quite funny
Uruguay getting one of the longest videos is great barbs. They deserve it.
I mean to be fair it's pretty much in line with what they've done for the past year and a half or so.
Geography inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
@@namantherockstar you won't get there with begging, do it by getting better.. prove yourself that you deserve those followers. In the end you will feel a lot better because you did it with your videos, not because of begging
they deserve this because guess what they have four World Cup wins.

As a Bosnian I gotta admit I knew almost nothing about Uruguay before watching this video apart from football/soccer, Luis Suarez (who can ever forget about him lol) Diego Forlan among all the other legends but now I know so much more about it. It’s kinda sad though how in the grand scheme of things when it comes to everything Latin or South American Uruguay is often pushed to the sidelines and ignored entirely or often just called mini Argentina which is really a shame since Uruguay is a really unique and interesting country on its own despite being really small overall and the most underrated Latin American country in my opinion and I really hope to visit it at some point in my life hopefully.

I am Argentinian and I liked how much respect you showed by not mixing our cultures. They have a different culture and there is no Argentinian person who at some point has not wanted to be Uruguayan, not only because of the quality of the people but also because of the beaches. Our brothers have a gorgeous country 🎉🎉
Como uruguayo, desde niño disfruto mucho de Argentina también, siempre por el camino de la buena relación entre gentes hermanas! Un abrazo
As a brazilian, i can confidently say that Uruguay is the BEST country in the world
as Paraguayan, i want to reassure the planet that what happened in the past is fully repaired thanks to the economical help and the great midfielders and coaches sent from our brother nation. grande Uruguay

Thank you very much....! You have an amazing country and what can I said about your ancient culture....! You are welcome....!
Work for Tata Consultancy and you might just end up here lol
I actually have family in Uruguay. When my Great Grandfather came to the US from Russia in 1900's there was a quota so only he and his sister could come here. His youngest brother ended up going to Uruguay and that branch of my family is still there. I have never met any of them though. One day I hope to go
There is a small town founded by Russian immigrants called San Javier. There isn't really much to see but they've got this large Matryoshka dolls sculpture on a park and they have a Russian food festival every now and then.
I think it was founded by Old Believers or some other persecuted religious minority. If that matches your great grandfather's history, then chances are that his brother came to that town although the rest of the family might have moved elsewhere later on. Otherwise, it's more likely that they came to Montevideo or the nearby towns in Canelones.
You should definetely come! I am from Uruguay but my grandparents are German and Polish!
Always at your service, Barbs!
It is always an honor to share my country's wildest side with the world, specially since thats one of the most underrated sides of Uruguay!

Paraguayan here, love the episode!
Despite the fact that we don't share a land border, we paraguayans feel very conected to our uruguayan brothers starting from the very name that comes from guarani lenguage, even though the largest indigenous group that inhabited Uruguay where actally the charruas.
I find a lot of uruguayan culture very similar to ours, we love yerba mate and asado, we both had to deal with our argentine an Brazil neighbours in the past and fun fact: the paraguayan war started when Paraguay decided to support one of the political parties in Uruguay but the other party that eventually gain power was supported by the other two countries in the conflict lol
But regardless of any conflict or misunderstanding, we will always admire Uruguay, they're such an oustanding country, a great example in our region and we paraguayans aim to persue all the good things that Uruguay has achieve in the last years.
Uruguay nomaaa!

In Romania, when we try to say that we understand what you're telling, we say "aaah, da" and also to "stop bothering me" or "yeah, like what you say" we say "da da da da da da", which is pretty close to "ta". In Romanian "da" means "yes".
"Ta" can also mean "ok" by itself, so it's pretty common to hear someone answer with a simple "Ta".
Also bo reminds me of bă in romanian haha
In Chilean Spanish, we sometimes say "Ya. Está" to mean something like "Ok, it's a done deal", "Ok, so be it", "Ok, I get it," and/or "Alright, alright - Settle down". Maybe the Uruguayan Ta has the same 'está' origin? 🤔🤔
I visited Uruguay earlier this year and loved it! The 'vibe' there is so relaxed; I have never been anywhere as relaxed as Uruguay. Very lovely country with lovely people!
I have been to Uruguay many times, since I live in the south of Brazil. It is a lovely and beautiful country and uruguaians are very kind people. 🇧🇷❤🇺🇾

Uruguayan here, great video! One tiny correction, though: "Lago Mirim" is actually not a lake, but a lagoon, so it should be referred as "laguna" in spanish and as "lagoa" in portuguese. Also, "Mirim" is the portuguese name, whereas "Merín" is the spanish one. In short, us Uruguayans call it "Laguna Merín" and Brazil calls it "Lagoa Mirim".
The terminal M in Portuguese is usually pronounced like "ng" in English, right? So don't Brazilians pronounce it like "mee-REENG"?
And it was originally all Brazilian but Brazil gifted half of it to Uruguay in 1909
@@andyjay729hello, words that finish in "m" we say them with "m", mirim we say mirim. I don't think that are any words in Portuguese finishing with "ng"

Fun Fact: Uruguay is so small in land size that is actually bigger than Bangladesh, Greece, Bulgaria, Iceland, South Korea, Hungary, Portugal, Serbia, Austria, Czech Republic, Ireland, Sri Lanka, Croatia, Denmark (Mainland), the Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, Belgium and Israel.
Uruguay is probably one of the least talked about countries in the world, which is a shame because it has so much going for it! The country's geography is beautiful and it's people are wonderful! Plus, I love Uruguayan history, I've studied a lot of it back in 2018. Uruguay also has one of the best national flags in the world!
Maybe i'm ignorant, but is the geography really that beautiful? It's all or mostly flat
@@idk-ye7ur As an Uruguaian (and apologizing for my english) most of the country is hills and pasture land, filled with rivers and creeks mosly, but there are some really beautyfull places here and there. it isn´t as stunning as Argentina perhaps (they have a lot of variety and is really striking in places as cordoba or near the Andes) but it is beautyfull indeed. places like Piriapolis, Las sierras de Minas, etc. really pretty places . another cool thing is that mostly everything is whitin driving distance so is pretty easy to get a bus or drive in the spur of the moment.
of course im a local and by no means imparcial, have a nice day!!
@@idk-ye7ur Uruguay it's the top 1 beach destination for argentinians since their coast is really different, uruguayan beaches are like the south of Brazil. On the other hand, all argentinian millionaires are having their summer houses in Uruguay, mostly in Punta de Este city (it has been referred to as "the Monaco of the South", "The Pearl of the Atlantic", "the Hamptons of South America","the Miami Beach of South America", or "the St. Tropez of South America")
We also have a kick-ass national anthem. We hear it and are ready to start kicking ass and talking names 😜 Some even argue that's the reason we're so competitive.
The key is that most of the country is pristine. It's also their signature marketing campaign for tourism, Uruguay Natural.@@idk-ye7ur

Hugs to all Uruguayans from Costa Rica. Two of the most stable democracies in the region, which invested highly on a welfare state and strong institutions, championing many human rights and with a clean energy network. When Uruguay was in the times of the right wing dictatorships, a lot of Uruguayan scenic artists and other intellectuals managed to escape the repression and they established themselves here, further enriching our cultural scene in the 70s and 80s (together with others from Argentina, Chile, etc., plus Costa Rican artists and intellectuals).
Costa Rica is currently suffering the strong consequences of decades with an increase of inequality (with an explosion of criminality), unresolved urban and especially rural poverty and the effects of the pandemic on our economy and educational system, but let's be hopeful that things get back to a more peaceful state.
We in Costa Rica never forget that is was Julio María Sanguinetti, the first Uruguayan president after the right wing dictatorship and a great statesman by himself, who said "Wherever there is a Costa Rican, there is freedom". So, hope the best to our brothers and sisters from the Southern Cone.
Regarding the video, it is awesome. I just missed the mention and the writers Juan Carlos Onetti and Mario Benedetti (an amazing poet), any of which could have gotten the Literature Nobel Prize, as well as the excelent poet Juana de Ibarbourou.

If latin american countries are like brothers, Argentina and Uruguay are identical twins. But argentina was born 5 minutes earlier so it pretends to be the big brother. A lot of people compare the Canada-USA or the Austria-Germany relationship to Argentina and Uruguay, but I think even that falls short. Being from Buenos Aires (province, not city) I feel more at home in Montevideo than I feel in the northern parts of Argentina, or even in parts of my own province. It is truly amazing to have such a similar country there, always supporting each other, even if we sometimes bicker like brothers do.
Stop comparing us Americans to the poorhouses of Canada, Argentina, and Uruguay. America is a flourishing democracy. Argentina, Canada, and Uruguay are failed state dictatorships.
I find your point quite accurate, I've heard that type of refference in my life while living here in Montevideo from nationals and tourists or neighrbour countries, it is so deep the historical ties between the two nations that some of us need a very trained ear to note the difference haha! anyways Saludos! and I agree with your posture.
lo mismo nos pasa a los Colombianos con los Venezolanos y Ecuatorianos, se sienten iguales
@@piedrablanca1942 todos ustedes tiene hermanos cercanos, argentina y uruguay, bolivia, y peru, avenezuela, colmbia y ecuador, guatemala, honduras, el salvador y nicaragua, costarica y panama cuba y republica dominicana, y los que no tiene hermanos tan cercanos son paraguay, chile, y mexico
technically speaking, Buenos Aires constructed the port of Montevideo before it became even a city... Uruguay was a disputed land for quite a while, and they had political power in the region before it became a buffer state, so in some way, more than a big brother, they are more akin to a father
As a football fan, I always loved Uruguay for no valid reason at all, only thanks to how they play football. Glad to see my unfounded feelings be substantiated massively. Really hope I get to visit one day
You are always welcome here un Uruguay! Where are you from?
It is incredible, but yes, to any country that I visited around the world I found a lot of people who loved Uruguayan futbol and they know Uruguay only for the futbol too, lol.

I've been told that the main difference between Argentina and Uruguay is that Uruguay's economy doesn't repeatedly implode due to idiotic policies.
pretty much, but having that time bomb next to us has its economic consequences. the best thing that could happen to us is the "normalization" of argentina.
You are right, Uruguay is a European country trapped in Latin America.
My grandmother got to teach over in Uruguay when I was little. So Uruguay has a special place in my heart.
One of my favourite countries, dunno why 🇺🇾
Come visit 🇺🇾💙
Fun fact: Argentina and Uruguay's only land border is on two islands that fused together in the 80s! Arg's Martin García island and Uy's Timoteo Domínguez island.
Another fun fact: I love chivitos, but my favourite variation of it, the chivito canadiense, has a very misleading name as it's neither goat (chivo/chivito) nor Canadian.
Also, a correction: Isla de Lobos doesn't translate to "Wolves Island" but "Fur Seal/Sea Lion Island", as these animals are called Lobos Marinos ("Sea Wolves") in Spanish!
And, for the music segment, it lacked famous musicians such as Ruben Rada, El Cuarteto de Nos, No Te Va Gustar, and many more!

It's true Uruguay is not often talked about, but at least in the rest of South America, when we talk about her it's to say how proud we are of all Uruguayans have achieved (in sports, literature, architecture, democracy, economic stability...) and how much we other South-Americans (openly or secretly) envy them.

Uruguay is one of the most secular countries, while Brazil is one of the most religious. As a Brazilian, I wish I was born in Uruguay lol
Good video. As an Uruguayan, I am going to clarify a few things:
- The majority indigenous people were the Guarani, there is a myth regarding the Charrúas, which is highly politicized, so I am not going to go into details. Guarani was spoken until the late sxx or early sxx, in the north of the country.
- There have been bigger conflicts with Argentina besides this one mentioned. In the middle of the last century, there was a boundary conflict between President Batlle Berres and Argentine President Perón. And in the 19th century, a conflict with Juan Manuel de Rosas, in which Uruguay was divided into two governments and capitals, between the white and red factions.
- Uruguay did not give residence to the Nazis. Those who arrived in Uruguay, like Merkele, were not yet known or wanted. They escaped from Uruguay when they began to be wanted, because in Uruguay they were not going to have government support. Thus, many escaped to Brazil and Argentina.
- The Batlle Berres government was contrary and spoke badly of the Perón government, which did give asylum to former Nazi combatants. For this reason and others, Batlle Berres himself considered that the movement known as "Peronism" was synonymous with "fascism."
-Uruguay has one of the oldest political party systems in the world, since the Blanco and Colorado parties date from 1836. Even older than the American bipartidism. The Frente Amplio, a "new" party, is more than 50 years old. Uruguayan culture is bipartisan.
- Beyond the War with Paraguay, which Uruguayans usually consider a black part of history, there were never bad relations with Paraguay.
I’m kicking myself because I didn’t wait to teach Uruguay and did it Friday with an old slideshow. I am infinitely grateful for these videos, for the research and visuals that I could never accomplish. Through the videos, I’m able to show underserved students that these places are real and beautiful and they learn about the far reaches of the world.
🇺🇾🇬🇷 In addition to the flag being very similar, I learnt that Uruguay and Greece share the same "slogan": Freedom or Death. And the Greek flag, like the Uruguayan, does not have a defined shade of blue. So the color has varied over time, being a lighter or darker blue, often depending on the political side. In addition, the Uruguayan sun is very similar to some representations of the sun, in Greek culture, and other flags and symbols in the culture of the countries of the Mediterranean region. They are very interesting coincidences. The Greek flag always caught our attention as Uruguayans at school, because the question always arises as to which country has that similar flag.
As an argentinian i would say that uruguay is all the good things that Argentina is without a lot of the bad things that argentina has. I love uruguay, i´ve been there 4 different times, it just feels like being in my country but with more educated people and better economy hahaha
Did the economy really went that low? Still probably better than here in Slovenia where our idiots will destroy our small beautiful land
Also, more educated? LOL
@@rozfly1109does slovenia have 120% annual inflation and 50% of the population under the line of poverty?
@@LogicReel I doubt Argentina have 50%. But yes, Slovenia is slowly becoming like Venezuela...
@@LogicReel Argentina isn't poor man. Just checked. You know witch countries are poor? Central American and African.
Also here in central Europe people don't know hoe they will buy something to eat... Slovenia is becoming poor...
As an Argentine from Tucumán, I would say that mainly the Entre Rios and Buenos Aires provinces are just the same people as the Uruguayans. People from Entre Rios hold their hot water "termos" on the street when they drink the mate, just like in Uruguay
In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, we do that to. We drink mate in the classroom, in the parks, everywhere...
Entre rios also shares a closer accent than BsAs with the Uruguay outside Montevideo with words loke Gurí or goyete.
@@Guarlaon I've been to Rio Grande do Sul plenty of times, I assure you we are really close (as an uruguayan)
...sounds a lot like the borders got drawn a little too far south in the North and little too far north in the South of Uruguay.
At least, as far as Mate-consuming habits go.
it´s very interesting how in Argentina there are provinces who share a lot of culture with their neighbours, Buenos Aires and Entre Rios with Uruguay, Mendoza and the Patagonia with Chile, Salta and Jujuy with Bolivia, Formosa and Corrientes with Paraguay, Misiones with Brazil and Paraguay as well, it´s crazy
Watching GN and seeing how entertaining and well made the episodes are, I can't help but feel sad that there are only a handful of countries left 💔. I hope GN will still be this enjoyable and educational even when they finish making episodes for all the countries. Maybe we'll see remakes of old episodes?
I agree completely! The early episodes are far shorter than the later ones, and the format has developed a lot since the beginning, so remaking them would pad them out and complete the information about each country.
Yeah I think we’ll definitely be seeing remakes soon but I think not until Barby is done with the unrecognized countries first, because from what I remember that’s what he’s gonna do once he done’s with all the UN countries, it’s crazy though how we’re so close to the end now indeed.
@@damirimamagic5064 I grew up in the country now known as Zimbabwe. I wonder if I will get to see the Zim episode before the cancer takes me.
@@CaptainQuark9 Damn bro I’m really sorry to hear that. Hopefully you get to see your country’s episode by then.
While I hope he does. I’m just respecting he’s gotten this far
Uruguay una gran nación, un verdadero ejemplo de como debe ser un país! ♥️🇺🇾
provincia rebelde de Argentina, saludos desde Colombia
Mmmm hace unos años nadie conocia de su existencia y su gente se iba a otros paises a estudiar 😂
@@ultraarg6615 Error. Estudiaban aca y se iban a trabajar a otros lados. De hecho sigue pasando. A Uruguay vinen muchos extranjeros a estudiar, la mayoria Brasileros y Argentinos, pero me ha tocado ver Chilenos, Colombianos, Venezolanos, Peruanos y hasta una Canadiense.

I got introduced to this series two years ago when I was in sixth grade during my Spanish Class. Around that time, Switzerland had just dropped, and it’s crazy to think that I’m only two years, you’ve shaped my personality so much, and now this series is coming to an end. I’m not an OG, but still insane seeing us reach closer to Zimbabwe. Congrats! And thanks, from all of us.
Recently been watching some episodes from years ago and it's amazing to still see all the familiar faces and also the insane increase of quality compared to the very first episodes.
I would really wish to see some remake/revisits of those older episodes as they're not comparable to the newer ones.
He mentioned A-E will be remade
@@TrickiVicBB71 F for F countries lmao
I’ve been to Uruguay once, it was a very short stay but I will never forget Chivito, what an amazing meal.
Uruguay was always that Latin American country I knew about the existence of but didn't really research that much. Great video as always.
Lovely to see a GN video come out just 8 minutes ago, especially one on such an obscure country and kinda out of nowhere
Love to Uruguay and all Uruguayans from Australia!
I never realised how much Uruguay and Australia have in common
Who can ever forget the World Cup play-off between the two countries in 2005 lmao. 😂😂😂
Love to both from the USA 🇺🇸❤️ 🇦🇺🇺🇾
Anglo/English family 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!
Much love to Australia from Uruguay! 🇺🇾 ❤ 🇦🇺
Man, I’ve been waiting for this video for 4 years and you call us porteños. You killing me
I know it hurts lad but don't worry, unlike Porteños we hosted and won the first world cup.
Bueno ta! Estamos pegados...no da para calentarse
I’ve been there a couple of times over the last two years and can confidently say that I never had a cut of meet as good as the Veal asado that I tried over there. Bonus tip: Pair it with a glass of fine Tannat and you will have one of the best dinners you ever had
I waited SO MANY YEARS and finally have the Geography Now video with my beautiful country! 🇺🇾 ❤️
thank you so much!
And at precisely 11 minutes and 22 seconds in, I started to consider relocating to Uruguay
And 11 minutes and 50 seconds in, as a very fair, northern European, I decided it's a definite no
@@garethmaccoll4374summer is hellish but we still got 4 seasons with a decent winter (no snow though).
@@LogicReel if your summer's hellish I'd probably die then since I'm seriously struggling with the summer here in Scotland 😂
@@garethmaccoll4374 tbf we got plenty ac inside, outside is still no man's land tho xd. I think one problem you guys have in the UK is that you got houses built for winter which results in them turning into ovens when the heat goes up, that's why you might suffer it more with less temp.
@@garethmaccoll4374 Here in the coast of Uruguay we get a range from 0 C to 36 C, not cold enough for snow and not hot enough to melt the AC.
i've lived here in uruguay for the past 10 years but im venezuelan and this is the BEST COUNTRY, i LOVE living here! EXCELLENT VIDEO
¡Gracias por hablar de nuestro Paisito! Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾😁
Naah no te puedo creer otro Uruguayo fan de Off
Yo se que lo decimos con aprecio....pero dejemos de decir paisito.....
@gonzalofernandez6038 Bo, no me copies el nombre y el apellido jsjsj
"Paisito" que en superficie es mas grande que la mitad del mundo (nos vemos "chicos" en Sudamerica) corten con esa pavada de "paisito" enserio...
Bro es hora de que ya digamos PAÍS y con mayúsculas.
Actually we are not used to find houses/building/etc by property name. It is by street name / street number / bis (is a special term that some addresses have because street number was repeated) / apartment number
In some tiny towns (called generically BALNEARIO) they use sometimes property name because there is no street number. So people from that place use street name and the 2 intersection street along property name
Great episode, Uzbekistan is finally coming up next, I’m so excited for it!!! 🤗
Are you from Uzbekistan?
I believe that Uzbekistan is the last former Soviet country
One of only two double landlocked countries in the world.
Uruguayan here, thanks for the episode man
Wow... I think I want to go to Uruguay for just the food, looks amazing 🤩
OMG!! The torta Pascualina it's also a tipical dish here in my city Genoa in Italy!! It's so incredibile how the world It's so small!!
many uruguayans have Italian ancestry, around 30% of the population. there is quite a big italian influence in our cuisine.
I know, but it's incredible. The Pascualina (Torta Pasqualina in italian). it's very important dish during the holy week. Even the Farinata it's a tipical here. One day i hope to enjoing the uruguayan's meal.
@@joaquinpampliega5722 Wow, Ravioli and Gnocchi, i love it!! The Milanesa i think it's a variation of veal alla Milanese. Of course, it's from Milan 😃.
So many thinks Share by both country. I love it.
I'm hoping to visit Uruguay within the next couple of years. It looks like a beautiful country with a lot see and I can't wait to visit one day.
I love our uruguayans neighbours. There is a pop rock band called El Cuarteto de Nos from Motivideo, they are so awesome! It is a must listen band from los charruas. Saludos desde Brasil.
Let’s all agree that Uruguay is essentially the Belgium of South America
For many years Uruguay was known as the Switzerland of South America.
@@ronnopotter just like the song "We Are Not Latins" by The Nos Quartet
I visited Uruguay (Colonia & Montevideo) when I went to Buenos Aires. Missed Rio de la Plata, but I'm very glad I went there.
If you were at Colonia, Montevideo, and Buenos Aires, the you saw the Rio de la Plata from both sides :D
Greetings to Uruguay from Taiwan!
As a Taiwanese, I have to commit that we don't know much about Uruguay. However, in Taiwan , there is a famous copypasta says that:『In Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.』(This joke seems to originated from UK). Interestingly, people kind of know Uruguay through this way, or otherwise they know Uruguay because of soccer.
---
When it comes to the political part, I found that some people kind of nervous about the close relationship between Uruguay and China, which may influence the alliance between Paraguay and Taiwan. Just some crazy political stuff. However, Taiwaneses are always thankful to some lawmakers from Uruguay that supported Taiwan to Join WHO during the COVID time.
---
From the Video, I learned more about this amazing country. The margay cat, ring tail Coati and nutria are so cute. The church of Atlantida looks so beautiful. One of the most interested part to me is the maté tea. People in Taiwan always so obsessed with our own caffeine beverage: hand shake tea. I know that the maté tea comes from a different plant from Asia tea. I hope I can visit Uruguay and try the maté tea and Asado someday.
I have a summer House in Atlántida lol
Since Uruguay is a small country (especially when compared to its neighbors), Uruguayans tend to support the smaller 'weaker' side on international disputes so most Uruguayans will support Taiwan in disputes PRC. We've also push for democracy and human rights (especially after having had some serious trouble with that in the 1970s), which makes us even more sympathetic to the Taiwanese cause. Unfortunately, having diplomatic and commercials ties with the PRC is vital for Uruguayan economy so we won't be establishing formal diplomatic relationships anytime soon.
Also, coatis are even cuter in person! Taking a trip to the Pan de Azúcar or Talice nature preserves and getting to see them might be worth it!
Xiexie 👍
Taiwan for me = Tzuyu (my little syster love this kpop girl idol from taiwan)
@@taimunozhan cualquier pavada decís. Uruguay no pincha ni corta a nivel internacional y va a apoyar al que le convenga sin importar si es grande o chico siempre y cuando mantenga esa falsa corrección política y todo el bolso de los recursos humanos
Feel free to visit Uruguay anytime!
Love Taiwán 🇹🇼 from Uruguay 🇺🇾!
uruguay seems like a beatiful country, id love to visit one day.
saludos de uruguay

Fua que ganas de ir a Uruguay la puta madre, saludos desde Uruguay

I learned more about Uruguay in just a few minutes with this awesome Geography Now video than i learned in all my school years in Brazil.
Thank you G.N. for making geography so enchanting and comprehensible.
Cuarteto de Nos is the most amazing Spanish speaking rock band and are from Uruguay.
I tend to forget that Argentina and Uruguay pronounces their double L’s as a “sh” instead of a “ya” sound.
Yes! As in : "lluvia" = "SHuvia" not "iuvia" for example / or "playa" = "plaSHa" not "plaia"... 😂
👋🇺🇾🫶
fun fact: the team jersey the food guy was wearing was from the club of pinarol which is one of the top flight clubs in uruguay right now and is currently 4th in the uruguayan primera division.
Yeah. The biggest and most popular club on the entire country. Closely followed by their bitter rivals Nacional. And when I say close I mean you couldn't slip a needle in between the space that separate them. Its scary how close they are.
Brazilian here! I was recently in Uruguay and the country is exactly that. I showered praise on all the Uruguayans I met. Everything works well in the country, it doesn't even feel like you're in Latin America. However, the cost of living is very high, I spent a lot of money while I was there. I intend to return soon!
Lots of love to you and Brazil, María! ❤ You'll be welcome back...🫶
Yes! Uruguay is very expensive..
👋🧉
As a Brazilian, the "ta" expression surprised me because it's basically the same in Portuguese, it is used in the same context and with the same meaning. I think the "sh" sound probably comes from portuguese too, as some words in Spanish with "ll" are written with this sound in Portuguese (llamar/ chamar).
The SH may come from Portuguese/Galician, since many came to both Argentina and Uruguay.
Let us remember that the Portuguese and the Galicians have almost the same language, although there is no defined origin if I am not mistaken.
Just as a Uruguayan, I noticed that we get some things from Portuguese or Brazil, for example...what we call Gramajo in Brazil and Uruguay, in Argentina is known as "revuelto".
It's funny because in Uruguay the Iberian culture (Spanish and Portuguese) converges a lot with the Italian, the French, the Afro and even though there are no natives we have traditions inherited from them such as mate.
The word “ta” is used exactly like we use in Brazil. It’s short for “está bem” witch means “that’s ok” and we use to say that we understood something 😊
Yeah it's common in almost every part of argentina too. I don't know why they claim it's unique to them
@@akai4942 literally everyone says "ta" is an Uruguayan thing (yes, even argentinians) wtf are you talking about, and ta is used as a phrase connection, not only as "that's ok", that's one of the least common ways of using it
Pero taaaa, es que taaaa,y taaaa, etc
Also as "ta!" (Stop it!)
And many many different examples
I never heard an Argentinan use ta as uruguayans do and the majority will agree with me
@@AlenBearwell we use it here in brazil. Even if just in Rio Grande do Sul we are 11 million. Uruguay isnt even a real country just a buffer state that has created nothing
@@AlenBeareso creo que se analizó en otro lado. Nuestra lengua tiende a omitir la sílaba “es” en muchas palabras. Por eso en ambas riberas decimos “Tamos?”, para “Estamos de acuerdo?”, o “Perá!” para decir “esperà!”. Nuestro idioma tiene a aspirar las eses antes de las consonantes. Mohka por mosca -fíjate cómo pronuncian los españoles las eses-. Y esa aspiración llevaba al extremo nos mueve a dejar de pronunciar no sólo las eses, sino las letras e antes de ellas. Por eso en ambos lados decimos: ta, tamos, perá, stá, toy. Respecto al “ta, ta” al que te referís significa “Está bien, ya está” y una es elisión de sílaba y de palabras, como el caso que mencioné antes, preguntamos “tamos?”, queriendo decir, “estamos de acuerdo”?, entonces omitimos una sílaba es y dos palabras. Pasa en otros idiomas también. Saludos.
Really want to go to Uruguay some day
