      @@Touchedbynature304 Have they said those words? I mean, mahala is kinda used, but rarely (and it means in Romanian a very poor neighborhood in a city, so not related to anything village like), and I have never heard the other 2 words. Is katuni the same as "catun" in Romanian (small village)? And guster, I have no ideea :)

Katuni is an old type of village(shepherd 's live thee in the mountains )and is vlach.Guster is slavic word. We have 26 minorities in Serbia so many words are used from them .Also in we use some Latin and old Greek.It's a mess😃Did you know what 2 Serbian words the whole world uses - vampir and paprika😅

    That toilet is a garden toilet. We say " WC in fundul curții" that mean the toilet from the back of the garden. We do have leasers there little and green brown usually. You also can find some in the caves that usually are not pigmented because of the dark.

    It could be seen as a tranquil rural existence, filled with a sense of calm and space, for someone living in the city. However, it actually involves constant, repetitive, and demanding labor, as well as a lot of physical effort.

    • @Touchedbynature304
      @Touchedbynature304 Před 3 měsíci

      Physical effort is sometimes better than mental exhaustion people suffer from in the city. Especially when you realize that you are the boss, the satisfaction of seeing what you can do with your own two hands and watching your children grow in a healthy environment 😊

      Country life for an old person is kinda hard. When you are a child, or youngster, it's ok, you have the energy and power, but old people hardly have enough strength to do the work. At least not when they spent their entire life in the city.

    .Good evening Mr. Giant, the town of Ghimeș is located on the border between Transylvania and Moldova, the majority of the population is Hungarian, but there are also Romanians and Ciangai (Hungarian-speaking Roma). In this area during the first world war there were several battles between the Romanian army and the Austro-Hungarian armies, and in the second world war in September 1944 between the Romanian-Soviet armies and the German-Hungarian troops, the result of those battles are the crosses that appear in the video at 18.00

    @RaduRadonys Před 3 měsíci +1

    Some answers to your questions:
    -yes, all carriages must be registered (mostly because many times they drive on public asphalt roads beside cars, so in case of accidents, etc, the owner can be identified)
    -we didn't hang out clothes for drying on the fences, I've never seen that, we used wires between two posts, as you said
    -the outside toilet has many names in the Romanian language, but the general translation would be outhouse/latrine/private
    -yes, we have lizards in Romania, in the countryside, and as far as I remember they are green and small
    -yes, in most villages there's rather a collectivist life and not an individualistic one, like in the cities.. maybe not so much nowadays, but it's still there, while mostly lost in cities
    One thing, I really didn't like how they put the horses to work, I understand they need them but it looks like animal abuse... Even 30 years ago, in my family horses were never used, we had tractors with trailers. This animal working is the ugly part of the countryside, in my opinion.

    • @Touchedbynature304
      @Touchedbynature304 Před 3 měsíci

      When I was a girl , there were many horse carriages on the streets of my little town. Very few cars. People used bikes mostly, so Pirot was called " little China". I used to walk barefoot, hike for miles..Us, kids loved to play with marbles, lastic, mud, ball. Girls were making mud cakes and flower juices😊We still use wires to dry clothes and there are still some outdoor toilets here in town and in all the villages around. And most of our women still bake bread from time to time( my husband does it better then me 😅). I wrote an essay 😂

    Hello Mr. Giant, the audio is kinda bad in this video, a lot of echoes. In your last video was much better, maybe you can revert to that :) The video is nice, it's filmed in the Hungarian part of Transylvania (which is the poorest part of Transylvania, not sure if there's a connection there but it might be :) )
