I'm always amazed at the fact that most languages don't have a "J" used much, if at all, and then there's French. English has a decent amount of "J," but French just has so far blown out of the water with the frequency of its use.
German has a J, but it's completely redundant.
If it is followed by a consonant, we use the I.
If it is followed by a vowel, we use the J. (Unless it's at the end of a syllable.)
I think all Germanic languages do. Except English, which got it from French, and whatever the Dutch are doing. ;)
In spanish it's usually for arabic loan words
Russian has one too and it used very frequently, especially as word postfix. Actually, you can hear it in every adjective over there.

["beautiful" by genders]

Fun fact: *Portugal is older then Spain, but Spanish is older then portuguese*
Fun fact, Galician and Portuguese were the same language
Now that's call a fun fact
Spanish isn't older than Portuguese. the Portuguese language was called Portuguese before Castilian was called Spanish. Spain was and still is a multi lingual country.
Chinese is older than Japanese but Japan is older than china
Hindi is older than Urdu but pakistan is a day older than India
Spanish is not even an actual language. The proper name for it is Castilian it is just the language that was standardized in the country to attempt centralisation

The letter you thought would be a "B" is actually an "ß" a "sharp s or sz" - it only exists in the german language for example in "Fuß - foot"; "Straße - street" - the vowel in front of the "ß" is spoken longer, which creates the sound of a sharp s or sz ... :) - Love your videos - Greetings from Germany :D
Yo how do you even pronounce that letter
@@waluigiinsmashbros How do I even explain this to an English speaker. ẞ mainly changes the vowel lengths of the word.
Strasse -> strong s, short a
Strase -> weak s, short a
Straße -> strong s, long a
So it doesn't have a definitive pronunciation. Like everything in the German language, it's context dependent
@@waluigiinsmashbros simply put, it's pronounced like ss.
@@danielwoods3896 not that; it's a double s
@@xilefinatorv.5599 you can write ß as ss
The part of Brazil that you pointed is what it's called the flatlands of south America that at least Argentina Brazil and Uruguay share, it's the perfect place to build cities, have a huge amount of agriculture and basically be able to accept people from all over the world.

Brazil isn't just the coast and the amazon dude, Brazil is huge and very diversified, you pointed at the Cerrado, Brazil's Savannah, pretty much where the capital is, the Amazon in its glory are at the north region of Brazil, while the fluvial water and rain benefits the other biomes of Brazil.

"Hävittäjä" Means destroyer but it can technically mean "loser" as in someone who loses stuff, but If i say "hävittäjä" another finn think of a fighter plane.
I would say that ”wiper-out” or ”annihilator” are the best direct translations of ”destroyer” in this context
In Estonian it is called ‘hävitaja’ which pretty much can only mean destroyer (as the plane and as someone who destroys)

very interesting
11:16 Umlauts, Drew. The two little dots over certain vowels in those languages are called umlauts’(pronounced oom-lots).
Ə
as a german, "umlauts" just hurts
Ç
Ö Ü and Ä are Umlaute(singular Umlaut) and nor Umlauts. I hate Denglish!
in portuguese we have "á, â, ã, à, é, ê, í, ô, ó, õ, ú, ç" , we had an "ü", but now we don't have the umlaut anymore,.
Sometimes we use "Ñ" to shorten the word "Não", which means no, but only on the internet (for some reason)
5:10 Oh. Chile is that long because it's a place that originally made more sense to colonize from sea.
They also have the Andes near the cost. And it's close to Anctartica, so the southern tips are uninhabited.
Bear in mind is a country founded recently by Royal decree. Rather than an "organic" millenial domestic development. So a single authority controls a lot.
I'm Chilean, and let me tell you that Chile was way shorter when it was a spanish colony. Chile gained most of it's northern territory in the "war of the pacific" against peru and bolivia, when Chile annexed the bolivian coast and two peruvian provinces, and most of it's souther territory when the chilean government sent european inmigrants (mainly germans) to colonize that almost uninhabited area in the name of the Republic of Chile. And i don't know what you mean when you say Chile was created by royal decree, Chile gained it's independence in a war against spain.
@@onejuan3340 Chile es larguísima incluso si contamos con el territorio que ganó en la Guerra del Salitre.
La mitad está deshabitada. Y fue formada por la colonización de europeos en la época moderna.
Es natural que sea un país tan largo. No son decenas de tribus por un territorio.
@@Miki-fl9ez Chile no seria tan largo como es ahora si no hubiera ganado esos territorios en la guerra del pacifico y si no hubiera colonizado el sur. Recuerda que Chile era un tercio de lo que es ahora en territorio cuando se fundó. Lo de que gran parte de Chile esta deshabitado es cierto, principalmente debido a que, primero, Chile tiene una población pequeña en comparación con su territorio y, segundo, hay lugares de chile que son poco "amigables" para vivir, como el desierto de atacama por ej. En cuanto a lo de la colonizacion europea, es cierto si hablamos del sur de Chile, el cual tiene una gran influencia europea, principalmente alemana, pero es falso si hablamos del norte de Chile.

Isn’t Manaus in the Amazon Rainforest?
@@TsarRaTheV Yes. 1000 miles away from the point he was looking at.
4:35. Drew, Amazon is located in the northern part of Brazil, the place you were refering to is known as the southeastern "hinterland" and is filled by "Cerrado" and the Atlantic Forest.
Russia declared Andorra as one of the "unfriendly" countries too. Andorra, where french and spanish ppl go to buy cheap tobacco. Andorra, which has no military. Had no airport either till earlier this year.
4:35 that ain't the Amazon, Drew. No jungles on those densely populated places, either, they're mostly in what we call Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, and Caatinga in the Northeast
As a chilean, I didn't expect my country to be mentioned as much. Muy sorprendido!
It would be nice to see you listening and reacting to different languages.
The ß is not a B, but a sharp S. It represents double ss at the end of words in German. English used to have a weird f like symbol for a similar sound.

Remington has to be the most american name going, I'm literally going to name my child after a shotgun

You know that shotgun was named after a person right?
"They also go pretty deep into the Amazon" proceeds pointing at a place that is literally more than 1000 km away from the Amazon
3:30 The fighter plane in Bulgaria is called "изтребител" which means "exterminator" and the ship is called "разрушител" which is "destroyer" or "миноносец" which is also translated as "destroyer" but it literally means "mine carrier"
Exterminator sounds badass
4:30 sorry to tell you Drew, but Amazon is north from there. That region is (or was) Mata Atlântica, it suffered massive deforestation and today there's about 12% of it left.
For the Warren Buffett pie chart, I assume that cash just meant that's how much of his wealth wasn't invested in stocks. Maybe he could have also kept some in various foreign currencies, but it's unlikely.
Bank accounts would've count as cash. You can leave some money in there and accure interest when stocks are considered risky.
Chile has two massive ice fields preventing the country from building roads in that area. The climate is also quite hostile to life in general and geography is rugged, like what you'd see in the northernmost parts of Norway and Sweden. That's why google maps suggested you used Argentinian roads.
4:36 He's joking, right? Lmao
I passed the "Ever Given" a day after she got unstuck from the canal during my deployment last year, it took us 12 hours to pass the line of ships waiting to go through!
10:45: these aren't dialects, dagestan is full of ethnicites and cultures. Around 40, i believe. Russia did not want to make an own republic for every single ethnicity, so the United all the Cultures to form dagestan. In the caucasus, we have a meme about how dagestan is the biggest disaster ever created by human hands, and how it would instantly collapse right after independence, because of the many ethnicities
I'm honestly surprised that all the people of the caucuses minus the Georgians and Azerbaijan and Chechen chose to stay with Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union or even during the Russian Civil War
@@thelazyone1881 this has reasons. Also, most people's of the caucasus broke away as the mountain republic of the northern caucasus. And after the collapse of the Soviet Union, really only the chechens and the ingush could logically break away. Carachai-circassia, kabardino-Balkaria and adygea are mostly made up by Russians. And dagestan like said is a mess. Ingushetia stayed in Russia because it had historic land claims in ossetia
In Iraq we love sunflower seeds. We usually call it “Hab al-Thewal”. It’s name translates to idiot seed. It is called this way as once you start eating it and cracking it, you cannot stop and you get carried away.
Hab al-Thewal looks like a name of one person haha.
'Was Germany and France in WW2 using Hunter aircraft confusing?"
No Drew they speak different languages.
2:58 Slovak and Czech term is more like "chaser" -> someone who chases than hunter -> someone who tracks. Stíhačka the term for fighter can be translated word for word line something/someone who catching up. Catch up the bus would be said "stihnúť autobus" in Slovak that the word we use. Probably because our fighters are used for intercepting rather that fighting. And to intercept a plane you need to catch up :D
the danish is also a kind of “chaser”
In Polish it's "myśliwiec". It derives from "myśliwy" which means "huntsman".
0:05 we (the Netherlands) are not a small country in agriculture, we have 4 times bigger yields on tomatoes making us second after only china, we are the nr 1 producer of cucumbers, the nr 2 (after the USA) of grain (re)exporter, we have the biggest wholesale food corporations and the trade with ukraine and poland in grain is more then a 1000 years old, so much so that in poland there was/is a dutch neighbourhood fully focussed on grain exports and on the whole we are the 13th (aprox) economy of the world
So that's why the cucumbers in winter are always from Netherlands! Thank you for tasty cucumbers.
The Netherlands is the 18th largest economy, no the 13th.
The guy points to Southern Brazil and says "Amazon jungle". Yes, he definetly is good at looking maps...
3:30 Destroyer (ship) in russian is эсминец (esminetz) and destroyer (plane) is истребитель (istrebitel) so there is no confusion.
Literally it means something like escadron's mine carrier
7:30 I would love to see a map with what percentage of the top owns an equal amount of wealth to the rest of the population. Would be an interesting way to show the data imo.
also: the "ß" (11:08) is actually a sharp "s" ^^
Turkey is not on the list since they have not joined western sanctions against Russia but have instead adopted a neutral stance. And Turkey has been buying Russian missile-systems for a lot of money for a long time, and is strategically placed to block the Russian Black Sea Fleets Mediterranean access should they choose to do so. Turkeys neutrality is so respected by both sides they have been hosting some of the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
when drew pointed his mouse to my state and said that it was the amazon i lost it laughing KKKKKKKKKKKKKK
In german, we call it either "Kampfflugzeug", which means "fighter plane", but that would probably also include bombers, or “Jäger“ or “Jagdflugzeug“ which means "hunter" or "hunting plane"
In Denmark it's "Jet-jager" which translates to "Jet hunter" ^^
The Jager in Jet-jager pronoucned simmilar to your german Jäger.
I would like to know german, I'm a brazilian, I like Germany :)
@@GuilhermeMichel I am sorry, but I can't give you advise where to start, since it is my native language, but if u have any questions in your journey, feel free to ask me, and be warned, even in Germany we have a saying "Deutsche Sprache schwere Sprache" which means "german language, hard language. But if you want to learn german anyways, here's a tip: all of these long german words, like "Kampgflugzeug" are like the english "fighter plane", but we forgot the spaces, and since they count as one word, it is easy to make up a new word and everybody stoll knows what you mean. Good luck learning german!
@@schanulsiboi0837 Thank you! I will try haha.
@@GuilhermeMichel
I would recommend you start with simple things.
When I learn a language I start with some common phrases to get used to the language, then I do the alphabet, then numbers (both ordinal and cardinal), then common animals, colours, days of the week/months, kinship terms, etc.
Eventually moving to basic grammatical features like pronouns (in various cases) then modal verbs (like “to can,” or “to want”), then common verbs ( like “to eat,” “to sleep,” “to read,” “to talk,” or “to drink”) then to other verbs and nouns as you need them.
I find that learning like this helps a lot because once you start learning things like pronouns and verbs, you already have a large wordbank of nouns to use in constructing sentences.
3:30 in russia it calls "istrebitel'", i'd better translate it as "eleminator", and destroyer is "esminets", ships are messed to english - battleship = linkor (line ship) and etc
3:10 why yes it was confusing. In fact the US named their fighters P (P-51 etc) for Pursuit. A mistranslation of the German "Hunter"
Well, it's not really wrong.
Btw just if you wanna know In Dutch it is also a fighter plane. Although if you really want you can say hunter plane. But it's really weird and almost no one says that.
In spain sunflower seeds or pipas are a popular snack just like doritos and stuff like that, also a "traditional" one, try "pipas tijuana" from the brand grefusa or just the salt flavoured ones, we also use olive oil in cans and "cheap /trash food"
3:01 no, in Slovakia we commonly call every fighter aircraft as "stíhačka" which means interceptor. Same in Czech rep. they call it interceptor or interceptor aircraft in czech "stíhací letoun". btw destroyer class ship we call "ladoborec" which directly translated means ice breaker.
Congrats on one milli
9:15
Evidence of Drew is an American
In Spain we love sunflower seeds because they are a great (and healthy) snack! Kinda like almonds or other nuts. (Also they make good-ish oil, but our olive oil is better)
Tip from my dentist, use your molars to crack the shell of the seeds, or you might end up wearing out your frontal teeth.
3:30, in Estonia we call destroyers "war ships" 10/10 originality
In Dutch and Frisian it's a "straaljager" what literally translated is "jethunter" . And I love that name.
9:39
A bit sad that Asturian wasn't considered for this, but it seems it works well with Spanish, Galician and Basque (and I guess probably also Catalan/Valencian).
hey I love ur vids I've learnt a lot
I always play this game myself when I see or hear a language.
Yeah, the absolutely foolproof way to identify Icelandic from Faroese is by the ø or þ letter. Faroese has ø and not þ and vice versa. And to differentiate them from the other Scandinavian languages you look if they have ð too.
The letters with two dots over the top are called umlauts in german and the ß is called a Eszett, it’s pronounced with a double s sound
0:20 in Spain sunflower seeds are a really popular... snack? We call them pipas and there are many flavors lol
If u go to any public park in Spain you'll likely see many shells in the floor because someone has been eating pipas there

More like it protects argentina from the earthquakes and tsuamis that happens in chile.
4:35 actually that's nowhere near the Amazon, the Amazon is much more to the north. What you're pointing is to the south and southeast. But yes, there are around 18 million people living in the north and some big cities like Manaus and Belém, but it's still the place with the least demographic density, around 5 compared to the 87 inhabitants per square kilometer in the southeast.
But to be fair, there is forest near that region of the country, just not the Amazon, it's the Atlantic Forest, also a tropical forest but overall a pretty different biome.

The language grouped together with Greek is Tsakonian, the only descendant of Doric Greek, the language the ancient Spartans spoke. Modern Greek descends from Koine Greek which is a creolization of the all the ancient Greek dialects. The consonant cluster presented is τσχ /t͡sx/ which doesn't exist in the standard language
1:53 the reason Bosnia isn't on the list is because of the three political party's that rotate their leadership (Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian party) and the fact that the Serbian's party leader is a supporter of Putin, but the other two leaders are on Ukraine's side so its just a matter of time until Bosnia becomes an "unfriendly" country to Russia.

The "ß" is an "SZ". A relatively sharp "s" like a hissing sound.

Isn't it exactly the double "s" sound? Like "ss"?
@@_Lumiere_ not exactly. For example: the vowel before the ß is long while the vowel before the ss is short.

I am pretty sure Chile actually supports the U.K., at least during the conflict they were the only SA nation to not support Argentina
Southern Chile is not connected to the northern half by roads due to the difficult geography of the area. That's why you are forced to go through Argentina if you want to reach the country's southern tip.
