      Thanks for having a sense of humor about this. I do not speak German and I know that it's not how German's speak, but I understand it's a parody based on how non-German's hear it. I am Puerto Rican, and I once saw a spoof of a Spanish telenovela (soap opera). It was just hysterical how they went over the top with the emoting and facial expressions.

    I just realized
    The German word for hippopotamus is translated as "the horse of Nile" (Nilpferd). In Greek, the word hippo means "horse" and the word potamus means "river". So it's basically "the horse of the river (Nile)" both in English and in German, and I think that's very cool

  • @jigokutensei71
    @jigokutensei71 Před rokem +29

    The reason why English can relate at some extent to the Latin counterparts like French, Italian or even Spanish, is because of the Norman conquest of Britain in the 11th century. Old Gallo-Romance dialects and words were exported from France to England, thus, old French had influence in the development of Middle English. If the Norman conquest would never happened, English would sound pretty much like German, Dutch or Danish since the Anglo-Saxons and other Germanic tribes of Britain originally came from those lands.

      it's also the reason why English spelling is so inconsistent, because it takes words from other languages with different spelling and writing rules.

    • @OatmealGrillBlazer
      @OatmealGrillBlazer Před 9 měsíci +3

      there's also a movement of English speakers trying to get rid of the French influences in the English language, and making it a 100% purely Germanic language, by bringing back Old English words that were replaced by French words, using and combining already existing English words, or taking inspirations from other Germanic languages, like German, Dutch, Frisian, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.

      @@horanghaebtches6751 Naw, it does. Well, not exactly like that but take it from a German - our language is all hard angles and way too many syllables. In fact there are an awful lot of day-to-day words in our language that are so long we ourselves use acronyms instead. A personal car is called a "Personenkraftfahrzeug" - PKW or more commonly just "Auto". We don't have a short version of brassiere, so we use the awkward acronym of "BH" for the rather prudish and inelegant word of "Büstenhalter".
      Other words are so atrociously unwieldy we employ anglicized and inaccurate descriptives instead. A mobile phone or just mobile is officially called "Mobiltelefon" but we colloquially use "Handy", which butchers not just one language but two! There are more than a dozen different words for "burger" in German, probably in an attempt to differentiate from the German word for citizen, which is "Bürger". A "Hamburger" is not only a burger but also a person native to the city of Hamburg but still "burger" is so much more convenient that none of the many local German translations for it could compete on a national level.
      I could list many, many more such examples just off the top of my head but I think you get the idea.
      There is a reason why English is considered the world- and world trade language. The British Empire deliberately reformed the English language for that very purpose over the course of its existence. It is simple yet elegant in its simplicity and very easy to learn in both writing and spoken language. In a global comparison it has very few eccentricities and while not as complex and descriptive as other languages its modular structure makes it by far the most efficient at communicating ones thoughts. As someone who easily gets his tongue in a twist i must say I am immensely grateful to the British for their contribution to mankind's linguistic culture. ^^

      Mavors44 I don't know about the italian guy, but the french girl and the spanish guy were ok, sure, they are not native speakers but they have a good pronunciation

      Mavors44 yes, maybe, but that doesn't mean he did a bad job, he has a good pronunciation, the accent is only natural
