Hi friends, I’m China. I apologize if any of my comments or behaviour in this video made you feel uncomfortable. I would appreciate it if you understand that I was super nervous about shooting and sometimes not making sense/said things in weird way. Thank you:)
The two of you did really well. Finland was tough, Slavic languages are difficult to differentiate for me too.
Wir mag dich.
You are gorgeous
it's fine, i wasnt uncomfortable at all 😊
@@EddieReischl Finns are not a Slavic, we are a Finno-Ugric. 😅
@@Mr-Cane The language is more similar to Hungarian, isn't it? Sorry. That's how hard it is for me to tell Eastern European languages apart.
8:05 The Italian girl said that her favourite dish is "pollo arrosto" (roast chicken), not "pollo rosso" (red chicken) that you see written (nor the plate of spaghetti you see in the picture!). At 8:15 explains that "pollo è un tipo di carne" (Chicken is a type of meat)
im italian and i was like what the hell is that dish on the screen?!
In northern Russia there is very much Finnic Genetics. "Finnish DNA". Finnic tribes are natives in there, long before Slavic (Russians). So some Russians looks like Finns but Finns Looks Finns - NOT Russians.
Maybe it is different for Asians, but most people in Europe can recognize the most widely spoken languages in Western Europe like French, German, Italian, or Spanish, and obviously English. For me personally, recognizing other Germanic languages like Dutch, Swedish, Danish or Norwegian is also relatively easy. When it comes to Slavic languages though, unless you are from Eastern Europe and actually speak one of them, it becomes a bit of a blur and it is difficult to differentiate them . But that is just out of ignorance because we don't hear those languages very often and not because they do not sound intrinsically dissimilar from each other. I'm pretty sure a Polish person can easily recognize for example Czech, Serbian, Ukranian and obviously Russian . .
In the case of Finnish, I suppose many people guess it based simply on the fact thay, being from a different language family, it sounds completely different from other European languages, except Estonian.
I believe Hungarian also belongs to that language family (Ugric if I recall correctly)
@@hmvollbanane1259 Yes, Hungarian belongs to the same family, but, at least to me, as a lay person, it doesn't look or sound similar to Finnish at all, whereas Finnish and Estonian are pretty close.
EDIT: Finnish itself is not part of the Ugric group, but both Finnish and Hungarian are in the Finno-Ugric family. That family classification by the way is disputed by some linguists.
Obviously Asians would generally be better at differentiating Asian languages compared to Europeans...
Concerning the Slavic languages, you do not need to speak them to be able to distinguish them. It is enough it you were enough exposed to them. For example where I live there was quite some immigration from former Yugoslavia. Due to this I heard enough Serbo-Croatian that I can easily distinguish it from other Slavic languages, because I know how it sounds.
@@patrickm3981 I think Finnish and Hungarian often share the same rhytm and cadence, even though the vocabularies are highly different.
The lady from Finland is just beautiful and funny , she made the asian girls look like dwarfs 😂 , she is really tall
I mean the Asian girls do look quite short but they're so pretty and nice!
I think she is taller than average here in Finland. I just googled it and the average Finnish woman is about 163 cm 🙂
she's also named after a russian car which is kinda funny
@@555nolife666 I think she said in some other video that her father is half Russian. Actually Lada is way older slavic female name than the car. In the slavic mythology Lada is the goddess of beauty, love and marriage.
Especially since she walked so much closer to them than the other Europeans.
One of my favorite videos from here. China speaks practically perfect American English, but occasionally there's a word that comes out weird. It's cute.
Xen has a beautiful British RP accent.
Cool to find out that Jessica is from Stuttgart, her German is a bit more familiar to me, my family came to the US from Neureichenau. I think the closest bigger city would maybe be Passau, with München being a bit further away.
Gorgeous Italian from Grazia. They definitely got more difficult to guess, too. The clues were hinting that Lou-Anne might be from Switzerland. China asked good questions to narrow it down to France.
She said she went to school in Canada, didn't she? That is probably why she speaks English with a North American accent.
What a lovely comment. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you~
@@Xensapp Thanks to you and the rest of the participants for putting yourselves out there.
Yes Xen! With the bangers and mash! Brilliant 😂
5:42 that could have been the most french "r" possible and then "okay she's not french" killed me 😂
all french speaking countries use the "normal" R, so, yeah, she was definitely right about investigating!! lol
I don't know what is meant by vibes lol. More like how someone perceives a country ..
The first girl, if it wasn't about European countries, I would guess she was from a country from the Persian gulf area or southwest Asia which her ancestry is probably!
And their interaction with the Finnish girl was so funny lol as I always thought Finnish sounds like Japanese in a way
There is a vowel harmony in Finnish, which softens the language I think compared to other languages.
Finn, hi. We have small differences in our looks between west, north, east and south finns. These areas used to have different finnic tribes, traditions and accents. While whole finland has blended it's genepool, accents are still used today. She give's me this Karelian finnish vibe.
Finns are the blondiest ppl in the world.
C'mon, Joensuu representative! WOHOO!
The german girl were dying inside hearing about russia lmao 😂
I think the Finnish girl was more upset hearing them both guess Russia, given Finnish history.
@@Onnarashi she is half russian so I doubt it. lots of russians with finnic roots too so it's not the end of the world.
It was weird that they associated blue eyes with Russia. It would normally be Germany and the Scandanavian countries.
A lot of my coworkers are originally from Russia but studied in Germany and live here in Germany now. They are very nice people and a lot more critical about the current Russian government than some Russian people you meet on vacation around the world that to this day after everything that has happened don't want to acknowledge that their nation's sovereignty was robbed by a group of oligarchs after the collapse of the Soviet Union and they put all the blame on western countries they still like to visit on holidays. So I met very nice Russians and some I just don't understand. Therefore it would never be an insult for me to be mistaken for a Russian.
Idk why but for me it was just funny cause everyone I met so far in Korea always assumes I am from Russia first and hearing her say it as well was kinda like me questioning if I really have Russian features haha
The one who doesn't speak english is kind of impressive. She made better guesses despite having less information.
It's like she constantly tries looking at the staff for help. I guess it's edited. Funnily enough, she has apparently studied both English, German and Italian, but she's barely even reached a level where she's able to identify them.
Wow, China is a really bubbly ball of fire! And really good English!
China's English is really nice, and her vibes seem to fit this channel.
She lived and studied in Canada for some time so she picked up on the North American accent although some mispronunciations of some words here and there. She would mispronounce the word "European" and a few other words.
Japanese‘s *
One of the Japanese sounds more north American than even north Americans 😂 She definitely lived abroad for long as she later said and had more exposure to westerners so easier for her to guess purely from accents
The italian girl is soooo pretty 😍💖
The French girl made a mistake regarding her favorite national dish, Fondue does not originate from France but from the French part of Switzerland, but I honestly think that this mistake may have happened due to the fact that she may have grown up in eastern France in a city located right near the border with the Swiss city Geneva, perhaps in regions such as Bourgogne or Auvergne.
Skiing being a sport in her region makes me think she is from an area bordering CH.
The UK has the largest Japanese population in Europe with 65,000 in total (most living in the Ealing district, borough of west central London).
The UK is also the most Europe's most culturally flirted with country with at least 40 animes including at least the odd scene being a real UK location.
Both also have plenty of common such as a royal family (hence Japan's imperial family also counting as royal) as well as both countries having their own type of tea.
Both also have a solid friendship and good ties with both for instance forming a past alliance such as the UK and Japan Would War 2 alliance and to an extent both countries also do trade with each other.
In my city Leeds (which gets a few hundred Japanese international uni students per year) there is also 1 Japanese school set up by former Japanese students that teaches at least 50 Japanese students who come from all over my region Yorkshire.
The Japanese also love visiting a countryside tourist location called the Cotswolds which has also been sert in 2 different Japanese animes (kiniro Mosaic and The Ancient Magus Bride).
The daughter of the emperor even attended a UK uni (my local Leeds met one) as well.
So yeah, the UK is most likely the european country that has the closest tie to Japan (with in Europe).
Cool vid. The Japanese girls are cute. Damn, that Finnish chick is tall. I hope the channel does an African and Caribbean guess people's nationality vid.
Reading these comments as a 175cm tall girl who's 14 years old: the amount of comments that talking about the height difference. 😂 I'm dying 😂😂❤
"What do you think about French people or France in general?"
*not even a breath later*
"Baguette" 🥖
I'm telling you girls are the main theme of this channel, this channel should be called world girl power ❤
I'm surprised she hadn't heard the most stereotypical English accent. Or that German didn't jump right in their faces. Like Europeans have been pretty much everywhere in good and bad. The most shocking thing was the Finnish person walking to the closest while Finland in general is probably the country that has the biggest personal space need. The momin are an interesting thing, a Finnish Swede wrote it (in Swedish, in Finland) and the Japanese made an animation about them that everyone in Finland (and probably elsewhere) knows better than the original works. But Lada was quite a prank name, a Russian car. Funnily enough they thought she was from Russia because of the looks.
Considering Finnish are considered the most introverted people in Europe, that close approach feels a bit uncharacteristic.
Welcome, Arata and China to World Friends! 😃
nice video
The lady from England gave me Turkish vibes, not gonna lie.
Yeah, me too. She felt South-Eastern.
9:55 wow that outfit was so perfectly white it was like they were talking to a head haha
The tricky part is that Europe is multicultural. That first woman, I'd assume North-African or maybe Turkish. It would be impossible to find she is English just looking for superficial stereotypes.
Lady, if you want beer, don't skip Belgium.
These girls are so cute 🥰
The first woman looks more middle eastern
She's of Indian descent. As you know people from the Indian subcontinent and former commonwealth colonies have taken over England. Even their prime minister is an Indian and the mayor of London is Pakistani. The national dish of England is now Chicken Tikka Masala which was Fish and Chips previously. England has lost its Englishness.
that lady with the black top is so fun to be with! 😁
13:14 Mita kuuluu? Did I hear right? Ragazzi sto male😂
Mitä kuuluu
I love the last girl 🥰😍
That China girl got me choked - saying"I have a lot of Russian friends and I hear the language a lot" to the German girl..... lmao
If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
so what? she was talking about her friends only whats bothering u that much?
There's a big difference between a girl who evidently grew up in Japan and her friend who seems to grew up abroad lol.
Either all the european ladies are really tall next to them or the two asian ladies are short 😂
tall
The asian ladies are short, especially the girl with the skirt can't be taller than 155 cm but she looks even shorter than that.
They're both really cute tho and they seem like nice people.
Both
2:43 Oh you mean Londonistan?! well.. not anymore!
you can't call a city Londonistan, it is not a country, you could call it Londonabad 😂, a country would be Englanistan though. You can't expect any other outcome after you invaded almost every place on the planet, Indian subcontinent in particular.
12:43 The blonde girl wins!
I like when the german girl says " ich liebe dich " me too ich liebe dich ! lol
I was suprised when they couldn't find the german girl''s nationality. Especially when she say "ich bin" cause it's common usage. Hi from Turkey
A lot of women change their natural color of skin, hair, etc. So it's not really fair to try and guess based on appearance only. Even then, Europe has mixed with each other for 2000 years, so it is not like it used to be, where the north of Europe would be much lighter, while south was darker in color.
You can tell an Italian from a German quite easily
@@wussrestbrook1200 There are suprisingly tan germans you'd be shocked. But on average you are right.
@@wussrestbrook1200 from the vibes haha
@@shrektheswampless6102 no italians have eyes that look they never sleep while Germans have a erling haaland look to them
@@wussrestbrook1200 czcams.com/video/tUXT2GjvHb4/video.html
Roberta Salice is Italian. There are many Italians that overlap with Germans. Italy borders two German speaking countries, and Italy has a German speaking province. Plus Italy is only 47 kilometers away from Germany.
[introducing herself] sub title people completely stopped working did they? This channel would literally double in quality if you would just go ahead and fire the sub title people. Inaccuracy of translation is one thing, but mispelling things so consistently in almost every video and now completely DROPPING the entire translation like french is some ancient language no modern technology would be able to decipher... bruh
The Italian girl looks really Italian. And she speaks with her hands. You can guess from 100km
I was on an Italian film lecture once. Never give an Italian speaker a hand microphone!
They are all look alike 😅
How do dogs bark in your language? 😅
Rolfy rolfy!
It's a really good question
Hau hau! In finland 😂😊
Bau bau in Italian
Guau guau in Spain
10:15 me too I love Japanese Korea Chinese… ❤❤❤❤❤❤
正直言ってヨーロッパ人を見た目だけで見分けるのはかなり難しい。子供のころは白人はみんなアメリカ人だと思ってた。
as a german when the german girl came in i was like "oh jaeh shes german for SUUUURE" dont know, i cant see the germans out of every group xD its something familiar
Her English is pretty good too
I'm from Europe but Finland confused me. Only in the end I guessed that.
I'm German and only know two words in Finnish - Moi and kiitos - so I knew already from the greeting.
Finland is still an unknown country.
@@diamondsarenotforever8542 I'm Swedish, so I found it quite easy. I think the slow, staccato rhytm and the vowel harmony would be pretty particular once you listen to it for a while.
Technically Finland has 3 languages: finnish, swedish and sami
And to be more precise, there are 3 different Sami languages in Finland. Finnish and Swedish are the two official languages.
And to be more precise, there is also the language my friend and i came up with in middle school.
Well actually 2 Sami languages and some Karelian too. But Finnish and Swedish are the only ones that are considered national official languages, while the others are local
@@pyrylehtonen-caponigro3198 Finland has 3 Sami languages: Northern Sami (the main one), Inari Sami and Skolt Sami.
@@mikrokupu oh, I only knew about Inari and Northern Sami
The italian girl is the most cute 🥺
In France they speak Flemish, Basque, German, Breton, Arab, and French, not just French...
China is sooo pretty wtf
China is so funny
The first one i would have said is India. As England used to be an anglo country. She doesn't represent European. Smh.
Finnish girl gets asked "What is the popular thing to do in your country?" and she answers "Karelian pie" 💀
Stage 1: no european ethnicity. So impossible to guess by his face.
Yeah, afghani-pakistan is the new english! salam alecum mate!
Ohh.. Called the English French.
Also called the Finnish girl Russian. Ouch.
That first girl might be from England but her ethnicity is not English she looks like Greek to me.
Ich liebe dich... yeah... sounds so Russian 😄
She sped it up on purpose, since it could be a major hint.
Isn't this kinda killing the guessing game having them speak in their native language? It's pretty simple to narrow it down after that.
meh. I'm european. even I can't tell where all languages are from. can you differenciate between all the slavic languages?
@@folk. well the Germany, france and England language killed the fun of guessing. It should have mainly been based off of appearance which is what the video title hinted at
@@folk. Me being from the Romance branch heir of Ancient Latin, am completely *unable* to differenciate any slavic language at all
Meh, it's simple to narrow down if the languages spoken are big languages like russian, french, german etc. Infact as you see they weren't able to guess finland from the language, italian Is also a language that usually nobody recognize
I bet the Finnish girl is not even above 180 cm, it's the others that are short.
She's 175 cm
@@elisakhud.9679 okay, that's not even tall.
@@SkepticalCavemanOK godzilla.
@@rwind4186 175 cm is a normal height for a woman from a Nordic country.
Well she’s still 7 cm taller than average women in the Nordics
It's so weird to see asians next to scandinavians. That finnish girl is like 25cm taller, but the asians and her butts are at the same height.
Finns aren't Scandinavian. They're Nordic, however.
@@Onnarashi Yeah in the Nordic group of DEN FIN ICE NOR SWE, the 3 monarchies DEN NOR SWE are called Scandinavia. But it's common the terms get mixed.
@@OnnarashiPartly Finland is located on the Scandinavian peninsula. No difference.
@@diamondsarenotforever8542 Finland is Nordic.
@@Onnarashi partly Finland is located on the Scandinavian peninsula. If you like it or not.
Damn the last one is hot
Exactly bro, I'm só glad that I can understand some finnish words, it's a beautiful language to hear 😊
15:10
@@Nistel32 I wonder if hungarians are able to recognize more Finnish words, since they are also not Indoeuropean
@@BlackHoleSpain i Wonder, but they are really different, there are many languages that I want to know, by now I'll keep with english and start study finnish, I'm really interested.
@@BlackHoleSpain A native Finnish speaker here, I can't recognize any Hungarian words. The only similarity I know of is that both languages have gender neutral grammar, one personal pronoun for all people.
What's with Russia. The initial guess seems to be mostly russia 😂 the small one speaking english is trying so hard to relate everything for each european 😂
Russia has had a lot of publicity recently. And a lot of Russians have fled the country also.
Lots of Russian/Eastern European models go to East Asia to work (mainly in Japan, Korea and China) and so when the locals see any tall and blonde person they immediately assume theyre Russian.
The short one isn't Japanese. She's probably American.
She has lived abroas.
I couldn’t guess the nationality of these two japanese girls. They are too Koreanized😅
5:46 When she said that german speaking girl might be from Russia I bursted out in laughter.
Hiii
Upeat munkit suomineidolla
They're introduced as Japanese but one speaks English and the other speaks Korean.
Yeah but for this channel, Korean is the second main language.
All this is filmed in Korea as far as I am aware.
They actually spoke Japanese to each other multiple times. However, on this channel, it's mostly done in Korean or English.
@@manoloantonio5206 The girl who couldn't speak English only spoke in Japanese, as far as I can tell from my limited JP knowledge.
I am Indian and I am watching the video exiting ly...
Good Me
Its sad that They only know Russia. First off all Russian girls are not tall than western Europeans, secondly in Russian common hair is not blonde, it's light brown (русый) blonde hair is common in Scandinavian countries Germanic countries or Baltic countries. By the way I'm from Ukraine. And these girls should relearn Europe.
Europeans would kinda do the same in a reverse style guessing game.
Most guesses would be japan,korea and china.
Unless you are really far north, light blonde hair is also very uncommon in Germany. Obviously you will find more blond people in Germany than most other places of the world but the alpine phenotype (very dark blond to brunette) is the majority here. In the south you also find a lot of people that you could mistake for your average South European.
But obviously there are different definitions of blond. For some Asians or Middle Africans lighter brunettes are probably considered blonde. In my experience people who are very light blond in Germany are very often of slavic ethnicity.
The Finnish girl here told in the other video her mother is Russian. I'm a Finnish person, I don't hear a Russian accent in her speech, so I assume she was born in Finland. Still, I would like to ask her personal opinion on the Russian invasion of Ukraine...
I heard that in South Korea, they have a strange obsession with Russian women. Maybe these Japanese girls were influenced by that. It's a bit unfortunate these days. I've seen Asians guess various European nationalities as Russian. Same for Americans. The worst case was when (after 24th of February, 2022) an American girl guessed a Ukrainian girl as Russian. I could sense her pain through the screen.
@KiryubelleKazuma Germanic people are blonde than Slavic. The most blondest Slavic country is Czech with 56% blonde people meanwhile the most blondest Germanic country is Sweden with 78% blonde people. And Czech is close to Germany
The Finnish girl name looks like she is from Russia
In a previous video, she said her father's from there, so I assume that's the reason why. As a Finnish speaking Finn, her name doesn't sound particularly Finnish or Swedish to me. 🙃
Sweetheart you dint speak English, you speak Aussie. My lord that aussie accent is stong .lol
Anyone who thinks England is a beautiful country has obviously never been there.
England's coast and countryside are actually quite beautiful and there are many nice small (or smaller) towns. I would agree, however, that the bigger cities in England are not so nice by European standards, although I personally like London for example.
Everything close to London is a dump. Never in my life I've seen this much rubbish on the train tracks and more chewing gum on the platforms than in Euston railway station. The Tube is also quite disgusting, despite being spectacularly efficient.
You couldn’t be more wrong. England has thousands of beautiful locations (gorgeous old villages, hamlets, market towns and small historic cities), and thousands of beautiful landmarks (medieval cathedrals, churches, castles, stately homes, Manor House’s, palaces, ancient sights, gardens etc). I am a foreigner, living in the gorgeous English countryside, and have seen so much of this for myself (as I am very interested in historic architecture). I would strongly advize you to discover these places for yourself, because England has so much beauty. If you would like any help on places in your region, I would gladly give you some recommendations. Also, Japanese citizens love the English countryside, and if you’ve ever been to a famous English region called the Cotswolds, you will see them there in their thousands exploring the villages.
@@darek4488 Do you mean Greater London, because I really love many of the counties close to London such as Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Kent, Sussex etc - I’ve seen so many beautiful villages and market towns within these regions on my travels, and the countryside is very picturesque. I will say, that with the county of Essex I notice this pattern. The southern part of Essex, which borders London, is totally different to the beautiful Northern half of Essex (the Northern half is filled with beautiful and traditional settlements; with lots of thatched roofs and brightly colored half timbered buildings).
I have many times and it is beautiful.
7:40 It's pollo arrosto, not pollo rosso
I could never guessed arata was japanese if i seen her in korea.
