You can create new words in Sanskrit by merging 2 or more words, process is called Sandhi, also currently it has over 102.7 billion words.
You can literally do the same in German that´s why the long words are a meme. You just but a bunch of words together and get a new one. But for everyday use it´s usually not important.
@@steirerbua5322 it's important in our life because those words make huge sense. The word daan means charity nd veer means great thus a danveer means a great philanthropist
It's important in every language but if it makes you feel important, I'll give it to you. Go get some self confidence somewhere.
Oh wow
I speak Kurdish and we also have the same thing
Drew perfectly, representing the US in 1:10 by not knowing how currencies work.
Edit: I checked, and he cut out the scene, didn't know that was possible until now.
P.S. I'm a bit sad he cut out the scene.🥲
Honestly. I'm european it confuses me too sometimes; figuring out if it's less or more.
The dollar is pretty much the metric system but for currency.
Well those who aren't familiar with economics/geopolitics aren't going to know much about it.
@@amieamie6268 Yes, I have to be honest there too, I also get sometimes confused with this. But it was just too perfect with the US ball not understanding how currencies work.
Yeah right.
No exaggeration, but you could literally merge letters to any word to create new meanings in Sanskrit, then merge the newly formed words with pre-existing or each other and the process continues, theoretically there's no end. Ancient Sanskrit scriptures and even modern-day writings can and have already had sentences that are one-word long and there's no end. This language is so versatile that it's among the two candidates for the human and machine-mutual coding system being developed
German works in the exact same way
given that machine code is just a chain of 1s and 0s, I find that hard to believe. Versatility is not a characteristic of machine code. you have to be precise and deterministic.
@@sam_vos Sanskrit is a distant ancestor so not surprising.
A whole new word can be made by using "Dhaatu"
@@sam_vos No it doesn't you troglodyte. Sankrit doesn't have words for any objects, instead words are formed based on the characteristics of an object. But German just uses a lot of compund words, if that "wOrKs iN tHe eXaCt sAmE wAy", then a ton of languages would be just like Sanskrit.

The reason why Sanskrit has so many words is because there are 10 verb tenses for each verb plus a religious tense that is not used in normal speech or text. Each tense has 9 conjugations so each verb has 90 forms. Furthermore, there is a concept known as Samasam (not samosa) that joins multiple related words like subjects and adjectives. This makes it possible to create an infinite amount of words as combined words are treated as new full words.
You have to respect
• vibhakti
• vachan
• purush
• lakar
Plus it also have so many prayavachi(similar meaning words)
Not samosa 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@arvinddixit5004 yeah

6:30 USA has actually made it to 3rd place in the first ever world cup
i think the thing with Arabic is that they mark so much stuff in their Words with The Vowels for all kinds of Mood/Tens/etc that that number is SUPER high when you include all posible combos. but words alone, as in the Constonantal Roots they use, then the number is about average again.
(Talking about Moastly Verbs)
I think the reason why languages can have a lot of words, but be fairly easy to learn is because they use smallere words and put them together in differemt ways to make more words. Where as language like Hungarian or Danish are hard to learn, not because there is a lot of words, but because there is a lack of grammatic rules and because more words mean different things depending on context.
100% correct. I mean we all do it with English but most "English words" are slang and aren't considered words by dictionary definition.
And in English we can call a girl cold and it means hot, or I haven't seen you in a minute but it means a while. For example, this is all misleading because there's an infinite number of things to say pretty much in any language and the native speakers only understand lol
They have grammatical rules, they're just more complex.
And there're also grammatical rules governing how the words change its meaning when they're in certain contexts too.
danish... lack of grammar? ohhh you don't know how wrong you are. We litteraly have to take a 3 month mandatory grammar course and exam when we start in 11th grade (when everyone is usually 16 or 17 years old) just to make sure we aren't complete idiots. There is so much stupidly complicated grammar that setting a comma in danish can sometimes be more difficult than learning to kick yourself in the back of the head.
@@sheepketchup9059 Yeah, I don't mean that they don't have rules at all, I just mean that there's a lot of exceptions and no pattern or explanation for those exceptions. At least in Danish (my native language), I'm not certain on Hungarian gramatics. Also Danish has two different 'genders' for nouns, but there's no rules or pattern for what is what. You just gotta learn what things are, one at a time.
technically german has infinite words too since you can combine basically everything.
that's how the Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz came to be.
Not really the german language is too predictable still. Having done language studies, Sanskrit has many rules for using "conjoint verbs" and "veda scripts". Cool language, I highly recommend you learn the various scripts, it's very intriguing.
If I am right, Umlaut in German is like Sandhi in Sanskrit. While Umlaut is only for German vowels, but there are Sandhi rules for all of the Sanskrit alphabets.
Eg) 1) tathā + uktaṃ= tathoktaṃ (tathā= as per, uktaṃ= having told/ being told. Tathoktaṃ= as being told)
2)yad + śaktiḥ= yacchaktiḥ (yad= whose, śaktiḥ= energy. yacchaktiḥ= He, whose energy)
---------------------------------------------------------------
And komposita in German is somewhat similar to samās of Sanskrit, except that in samās, there are specific rules and categories. But, Samās is more than just putting one word after another.
Eg)1) kṛṣṇārjunau= Kṛṣṇaḥ ca Arjunaḥ ca
(Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna)
2) Pitāmbaraḥ= Pitām baram yasya saḥ
(one who has worn yellow clothes)
2) Saptadinaṃ= Saptanāṃ dinān samāhār iti
(group of seven days)
3) Sītāpatiḥ= Sītāyāḥ patiḥ
(husband of mother Sitā)
4) Haribhaktaḥ= harau bhaktaḥ
(devotee of Lord Hari)
5) Pankajaḥ= Panke jāyate iti
(Lotus- the one who is born from mud)
6)Khagaḥ= khe gacchati iti
(bird- one who goes through the sky)

What I said about German might be wrong, maybe you can correct me if it is wrong.
16:32 As an English person, I went to Scotland recently and the house prices were very cheap compared with England.

As a Britannian I can confirm that we are living in bankruptcy

The cocaine coke mix up is a real thing. I asked for coke with my breakfast in czech land and the guy showed me a shop opposite where I could get some cocaine.
Cezch your coke
The coca-cola lake is really dark because of the huge concentration of iron and iodine that reacts with the nearby root’s pigments (it is surrounded by the atlantic forest). I think New Zealand has one of those too, but the reason is different
Did he just said that the bread costs "point, uh. $1 and 23€"? 1:25
Lmao
4:38 Not! The Araraquara lagoon in Brasil is clean, the dark color is due to the high concentration of iodine, iron, coal and reeds.
Argentina now has 3 world cups, congrats to Messi 🎉🇦🇷
corn bread probably real cheap. Americans love corn especially Nebraska
Despite this man doing videos about basically every country in the world, he still can’t tell the difference between Indonesia/Monaco 🇮🇩 and Poland 🇵🇱. 12:18
Well in German, it is theoretically possible to create more or less infinite words, due to the fact that you can put like every combination of Words with little modifications to the words, but most of them dont make that much sense. If you ever played minecraft in german you'll notice that almost no items do have a space in the name...
Compound words are used by a lot of languages! They're really useful for native speakers because they're so fast and unambiguous (or exact), but people trying to learn the language will have a lot of trouble and need to read or hear them slowly at first.
Sorry for the paragraph and unnecessary explanation, I just think languages are really neat and thought maybe someone reading the comment could learn something or begin a discussion
@@SuLokify Admittedly, German is easier to some because of it. In western slavic languages, we usually have the exact same compounds being used in direct translation. But ultimately, compounding is in every language. The thing about Indian is probably that someone just decided to keep on adding new words into dictionary, bcs rules allow it -- whereas other languages made non-flexible standards trying to prevent further derail of dialects from each other. Mind you, Austrian and German are barely even inteligible, but they decided on single language standard to teach in school, but that also means, that for people outside Vienna(which likely already has a majority speaking german by now), they only learn in what is basically a foreign language. -- at the end that does not make those Sanskrit words actually used by real people though. In Real world, everyone there is probably speaking in some dialect and dont utter a single word present in that dictionary outside of public offices anyway - just like we have it in Europe.
@@SuLokify In theory you could just learn the core words meanings but then semantic shift(change in the meaning of the word) enters the chat
If I am right, Umlaut in German is like Sandhi in Sanskrit. While Umlaut is only for German vowels, but there are Sandhi rules for all of the Sanskrit alphabets.

"Coke from Mexico is 100x better"

2:23 Pakistan: Look At our rupee
9:20 of course most languages have huge amount of loan words, for example about 30% of words in English came from French ;p Words like allowance, heritage, identity, illusion, facade, irony, energy, city (pretty much all words where 'c' is pronounce as 's' not 'k' came from French) and many many other words that most English speaker consider English are French loan words. And thats only French, other languages also influenced English to a high degree ;p
In English 30% words are from French, another 30% from Latin and about 4% from German
Counting words in a language is weird. For example, in the SAOB Swedish Dictionary, it has 500 000 words, but I'm not sure how they count, because compounds are grouped with the word they're a compound of. Like "fotboll" (foot-ball) has its own entry, but "skolår" (school-year) does not, and appears as a compound for "skola" (school) despite the previous also being a compound of "fot" (foot).
I'm commenting right now because of how much of an amazing person you are, you've inspired me to become a mapper and entertained me for years... No words can express my gratitude for you, Drew. You're truly a wonderful human
Bot comment Lmao
@@wasserFREH yeah
@@wasserFREH no he said drew
Hungarian technically doesn't have an upper word limit either thanks to the many ways to conjugate words, so it can be said that it also has infinite words in it
Exactly, as reference it says on google that Hungarian has 100.000 words in a BASIC dictionary.
Hungarian is same as European languages, nothing special about Hungarian
@@kk7420 definitely nothing going on in Ohio
yes you are right. As Turkish has same ability too.
That's just misleading, there's a finite ways to conjugate and decline, therefore, not infinite.
Unless Hungarian allows for infinite compounding.
Drews Video for Dinner always makes my Day Complete
Same here!!!
7:50 Brazil would never call South America a continent, for us it's a subcontinent
I was just about to comment this exact thing
11:12 Sanskrit is mostly used for religious scriptures and prayers. Also Sanskrit is the base language for a majority of Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati etc. so that kinda explains why it has so many words
As an indian i can guarantee sometimes i run out words in english while i have the same thing in my language in my head, but most of the youtube comment section doesnt know my language
What sort of Indian?
That happens when you don't know a language well. English, like most languages, aren't restricted in how you can express yourself. You just express yourself differently. Don't be silly.
the question of how many words has a language is actually quite interesting all all languages that allow compound words will have more than the dictionary states. in german you can just slap words together and will get a new word and with kanji you can create new meaning by merging the right radicals and then also put the kanji next to another
Yeah, I mean for example while the English dictionary only has around 500,000 words, the number of English words is estimated to be over One Million, not to mention English is also pretty flexible so creating new words is kinda' easy.
I love it when Drew calls the Pound Sterling symbol an euro.
Then again, their symbols are very similar.
He also called yuan a dollar
5:05 I didn't know it was standard to use corn syrup. So I made a quick search. Couldn't tell much, there aren't many useful resources. But it's likely coke in Western Europe contains sugar too. Corn syrup isn't in the ingredient list, and I found old forum posts mentioning isoglucose (another name for corn syrup) being present in Eastern European coke, with the distinction being made from west EU coke, it's likely for it to be the case. Explains why I like it so much.
Welp m proud to say that I know how to converse in Sanskrit 🍍✌️

Fun fact: Sanskrit was the first ever language in written form. The world's first Book 'Rigveda' was written in Sanskrit as well.
It's a beautiful language ♥
It was? Wasn't the epic of Gilgamesh written earlier? And I thought both Sumerian Cuneiform and Egyptian Hieroglyphs predated Sanskrit by quite a bit.

I am Indian myself so I know the language. It’s kind of hilarious to see Drew not knowing yet 🤣
Given that you know that language, may i ask, how to understand "infinte words"? Is it just combining two words to get a new one, like we do in german or is there a deeper system behind it?

@@p3chv0gel22 yeah thats the system

Tbh sanskrit has infinite words fr
How?
@@Velu0 sanskrit is an ancient language thus people just added words for every possible situation or describe a single thing with multiple loosely arranged definition words. Thus sanskrit is termed as language of Gods.
@@Velu0 You can understand with this example-
1) If I want to say, "He, who has worn yellow garments", I can say in a full sentence as "pītaṃ aṃbaraṃ yasya saḥ".
If I want to say it in one word, I would say "pītāmbaraḥ" ✅
and not "PītaṃAṃbaraṃYasyaSaḥ" ❎. This is called samās. In this example, the type of samās used is bahuvṛīhi samās.
2) And then there is sandhi, which is somewhat similar to merging, but not exactly merging :
tathā + uktaṃ ≠ tathāuktaṃ ❎
tathā + uktaṃ= tathoktaṃ ✅
(Tathā= as per, uktaṃ= having said/ being said. Tathoktaṃ= as being said)
This is done to make pronounciation easier. The "ā" at the end of "tathā" is kaṇthya (meaning it is pronounce by blocking the air from your throat by pointing the tongue towards the vellum) and the "u" in the beginning of "uktaṃ" is oṣthya (meaning you pronounce it by passing the air from your throat directly through your lips).
To transition, from kaṇthya to oṣthya, you need to pause. So to make pronounciation smoother, you combine the vowels a (ā= a + a) and u to form the compound vowel o.

Well, someone is getting upgraded to 3 wins after this final on Sunday.
9:16 Drew, the average language is a lot of loan words + a bunch it isn‘t known where they come from loan words + some we have forgotten that they are loan words loan words + some proper words probably building on foreign language words + a handful proper proper words. One should also note that OG loan words have at least traversed so many languages that it is hard to know who produced it the first time or if they have been produced multiple times or who loaned from whom. Not to forget the ‚intra-language loaning‘ between ‚dialects‘ and the constant subtle changes of words and their meanings and the double-loaning and and and.
One could say it is a big LOAN-party.
Drew is OP
4:37 That great
The number of words, it depends how exactly those words are counted up...
Trouble with counting up unique words is that it may leave out a lot from one language while count in a lot by the same principles. Eg agglutination (eg: boatswain), clitics, cases, grammatical genders, declarations, etc...
For my own language, this alone (still excluding agglutination for example) gives over 150 possible intuitive derivative words per each unique root word (mother → mother+ly)... Throw in words that are derived from agglutination, and potential for dictionary size explodes near infinite.
It also matters if two words with similar appearance and sound are counted as same word with different (and even conflicting) definitions that have independent etymologies. A reason why such comparison can only be done properly be counting up those words by definitions (and one definition still can have multiple, even tens, matching words). On top of that, phonetics should supercede visual apparence - how it is pronounced has higher importance than how it happens to appear in writing... And then there is etymology, etc, ...
8:23 That is true, but I’m pretty sure Germany would have also qualified for every World Cup if it wasn’t for you-know-who.
