    Hi I'm trying to give you some hints regarding the Yemen episode. If you search for the Geez script origin, you will be surprised to know that it was derived form the Ancient South Arabian script that was commonly used in modern day Yemen, but at one point the people in Yemen quit using it and adopted the Arabic language that can be referred to as North Arabian script that was developed from semi-nomadic Nabataean tribes modern day Jordan.

    Hi Barbs, I’ve been watching Geography now since 2015. I remember watching the Botswana episode aged 18 and being fascinated by the Okavango delta. I would rewatch the episode multiple times a year, (as well as all the new eps). In October 2023, aged 26, I finally went to the Okavango delta. Wild camping surrounded by elephants and giraffes. As well as flying over it in a plane.
    thank you for making me aware of the Delta all those years ago. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

    18:45 actually that 'i' ending is a nominative case thing.
    There are 7 cases in Georgian language and all the nouns that end with consonants have that 'i' added to them in nominative case.
    So for example, it goes like "Londoni", "Washingtoni", "Los Angelesi", etc. when using those words in nominative case.

    • @dannyboy-vtc5741
      @dannyboy-vtc5741 Před 4 měsíci +2

      Interesting, in croatian nominative case has no gramatical suffixes, nominative case is as is, the basic one, other cases have them, well it depends, have them if they need them, because there are gender, tenses and other suffixes so they can cancel each other or not be needed in the first place, when almost every word in the sentence is gramatically conditioned you tend to simplify it where you can, but gives you a huge freedom considering the word order in the sentence..

    Hi Barbs, If you are doing a filler episode on Malaysia, here’s my explanation on the 13 states of Malaysia:
    1.) Perlis: The Northernmost and the smallest state in Malaysia and is most famous for its caves the famous one being Gua Kelam and is famous for its seafoods as the main activities there is mostly fishing, also lots of paddy fields and is also famous for Wang Kelian Border Market which is located in Padang Besar bordering Thailand. The Capital of Perlis is Kangar.

They even have their own Kedah Paddy Museum, Kedah is also known for places like Bujang Valley, Alor Setar Tower, Kedah State Art Gallery and don’t forget Kedah’s most famous tourist destination and its none other than Langkawi Island, which is very famous for its beaches, Due to its breathtaking natural scenery and landscapes. Langkawi is also one of Malaysia’s duty free zones and this also means that things like alcohol are openly sold there sometimes at a cheaper price without being subjected to tax regulations. The Capitol of Kedah is Alor Setar.
    3.) Penang: Consists of Penang Island and the one on the mainland known as Seberang Perai. And this also gave Penang the nickname “Pearl Of The Orient”. It was also part of the three entities of the Strait Settlements It is very famous for its rich cultures, history and UNESCO heritage sites with its colonial style buildings, temples, arts, and not to mention for its Peranakan Baba Nyonya culture which are people descended from Chinese traders whom have intermarried with local people and have created a fusion of Chinese and Malay culture and traditions, Penang is also known for being a food haven and its most famous dish being the Penang Char Kway Teow.

Perak: Perak was famous for its history as a tin mining region and its history goes way back when the story starts with Long Jaafar, a Malay chief of Larut whom discovered tin deposits while he was bathing in a river and Since then, Perak have prospered for its tin ore mining productions and this also led to the migration of Chinese working as tin miners in Perak. These various Chinese clans began to rival one another and started vying for control over the tin industry and this led to the Larut war and Ngah Ibrahim, whom is the chief of Larut, and the son of Long Jaafar, began asking for help from a British superintendent from the British Strait Settlements named Captain Speedy to solve the dispute. Nowadays, Perak is most famous for places like Kellie’s Castle, Ipoh Railway Station, Gua Tempurong, Leaning Tower Of Teluk Intan and many more. The capital of Perak is Ipoh.

    9.) Pahang: The third largest state in Malaysia and the largest state in Peninsular Malaysia.

    10.)

It is the only state in Malaysia to have a Christian majority population and have no official religion and this also explains why Sarawak recently also has a lot of separatist movements. Sarawak is famous for the Gawai festival and also famous for its lush rainforests, flora and fauna including the famous rafflesia flower and the Rhinoceros hornbills which gave Sarawak the nickname “Land Of The Hornbills”. Places of interest includes Damai Beach, Sarawak Cultural Village, Niah Cave, Semenggoh Wildlife Reerve, Mulu National Park, Niah Cave and more. The capital of Sarawak is Kuching.

    4:54 funfact, these enclaves were known as "Chhitmahal" in the local language(Bengali), in both Indian side of west bengal and Bangladesh. The funfact here is, the word "Chhit" literally means "Inkdrops" and "Mahal" means palace(or place in this case). So, my suspicion is, these were literally inkdrops that the British guy dopped on the map, while drawing the border. I live very close to these places(Siliguri), although never been to one.

  • @Erik_Emer
    @Erik_Emer Před 4 měsíci +9

    I think I can actually explain why a lot of Georgian words end in -i.
    So, Georgian noun declension in its grammar is based off of what letter a word ends in. One group's -a and -e, one group's -i, -o, -u, and the final being any consonant. When a noun ends in a consonant, a final -i is added, usually in its dictionary form (which, yeah, seems to cause some confusion to learners like me whether a word is consonant final or -i, -o, -u final). Chakhapuri is an example of a consonant final word, actually. it's technically just "chakhapur-," but it usually can't be without an ending in dictionary form. Although, I've seen names in Georgian ending in a consonant without -i.
    Again, I'm just a learner, so anything could be wrong.

    I love this filler video. Wonderful job I am a devoted follower of your channel. I have traveled the world, but certainly probably not the extent to what you have. in any case, as I was watching this video, I thought to myself what about doing a video of each state of the United States, similar to the way that you conduct a video for each individual country. I know you did something similar to that with each state but a little bit more in-depth in regards to all areas of geography, culture, demographics, and such. Just a suggestion. Since there are a finite amount of countries in the world, what will happen to your channel when you have finished covering each country? What then?

    12:00 Costa Rica removed the 50 000 colones banknote (i.e., the purple one) from public circulation in 2020. It was rare, anyway. I never got to see one in real life, only in pictures.
    The remaining models were slightly redesigned some years ago, retaining most of the original features like the color.

  • @BMtodaP
    @BMtodaP Před 3 měsíci

    There's a reason why so many Georgian nouns and adjectives end in -i. -i is actually the nominative case ending, so when you use a noun/adjective as the subject of the sentence or without any special context, that's the form you use. If it's the direct object, it changes to -s. For example, "the man sees the woman" would be "k'atsi khedavs kals", but "the woman sees the man" would be "kali khedavs k'atss".
