    3:35 Fun fact: the first kanji of 伊太利 is 伊. If you look carefully, on the left side there is the katakana イ (i), the first letter of "Italia"; on the right side there is this thing 尹, that clearly represents fork and spaghetti.

    For Greece, the characters 希臘 likely come from the Chinese translation of the name as it is Romanized as "xila" making it close to the original Greek name of Hellas.

    The name of America is actually very similar in Chinese. I guess you already know it's written the same in Kanji and Chinese, but in standard Pinyin it's "mei guo", which... Yeah 'Merica.
    Funnily enough it also translates to "Beautiful country" which is nice.
    With the UK it's "ying guo" (England), but translates to "brave country" or similar.
    Edit: when you mentioned the japanese pronunciation of Germany you should know that Germany is "Deutschland", the transliteration would be "doitsu"

      @andrii7873 Před 4 měsíci

      i don't remember who said it but some youtuber said to never think of japanese conjugations as such but as a connection of two different verbs or something like that with corresponding last hana shifts, is that true

    • @dacueba-games
      @dacueba-games Před 4 měsíci +1

      ​@@andrii7873 yes. but also no. at the end of the day, this is a game of semantics.
      what matters is, each verb form (potential, passive etc) has repeating patterns, and you gotta learn them and how they attach to verbs. doesn't matter what you call them.

    • @cottbdbdbbd
      @cottbdbdbbd Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@andrii7873 personally I think of conjugation and particles as connecting to the main words, because it makes the grammar clearer
      Wanna go see a movie?
      映画を見に行きませんか?
      eiga wo mi ni iki masen ka?
      eigawo mini ikimasen ka?
      In the first version there are 7 'words', in the second there are 4 and the "wo" is connected to the "eiga" to show it's the object. It's kind of hard to grasp the grammar as an English speaker, but when you treat the を like a suffix, it makes it clearer to me. Same thing with the "-masen" and "ni", even they're technically separate words, I think it's more useful to think of it as a suffix. And in conversation they'll sound very connected
      That's just the way I use when I study but there's nothing wrong with separating them either.
      Just wanted to give my 2 cents lol

    Kinda funny that 米国 got imported to China and now it's the slang term for the US (read as mǐgúo) even though they already have their official equivalent 美国 (měigúo) 'pretty country'. Japan needs to come full circle and adopt 美国 as a slang term!
