Sorry for the mistake about Poland, the correct translation is Pologne… I guess my brain just got tired after filming so many country names, haven’t been speaking French in a while too, totally my fault 😅
Désolé pour cette erreur, je suppose que j’étais fatigué de filmer autant de traductions différentes, et ca fait pas mal de temps que je ne vis plus en France et que je ne parle français que très rarement. Erreur très stupide de ma part, mes excuses 🙏
I think you had Holland in mind which if translated is «Hollande» or «Pays-Bas».
@@JosephOccenoBFH actually Holland = Hollande and the Netherlands = Pays-Bas
It’s not the same because Holland is only 2 provinces (North Holland and South Holland) in the Netherlands (they are 12 in total). Like England and the UK (sorry I did Dutch Studies and my teachers were like “you have to explain the difference”) 😂

J'ai effectivement un peu tiqué lorsque j'ai entendu ta traduction.
The fact that people often groups Vietnam in a group with other South East Asia countries due to its geographic location. But as a Vietnamese, I believe that you will never see any similar between VN and Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia about language or culture.
If you group Vietnam + China + Korea + Japan in one show, then you will realize there are the similar countries' name pronunciation.
i.e. -England (Vietnamese: Nước Anh/Anh Quốc - Chinese: 英国(Ying Guo) - Korean: 영국(Yeong Kuk) - Japanese: 英国(Ing Koku)). 'Anh' is shorten from 'Anh-Cách-Lan' 英格蘭(Ying Ge Lan) in Chinese;
-America (Vietnamese: Nước Mỹ/Mỹ Quốc - Chinese: 美国(Mei Guo) - Korean: 미국(Mi Kuk) - Japanese: 米国(Bei Koku)). 'Mỹ' is shorten from 'A-Mỹ-Lợi-Gia' 亚美利加(Ya Mei Li Jia) in Chinese;
-South Korea (Vietnamese: Hàn Quốc - Chinese: 韩国(Han Guo) - Korean: 한국(Han Kuk) - Japanese: 韓国(Kan Koku));
-China (Vietnamese: Trung Quốc - Chinese: 中国(Zhong Guo) - Korean: 중국(Jung Kuk) - Japanese: 中国(Chu Koku));
-Japan (Vietnamese: Nhật Bản - Chinese: 日本(Ri Ben) - Korean: 일본(Il Bon) - Japanese: 日本(Ni Hon)); in this case 'Nhật'=Sun, 'Bản'=Origin ('Nhật Bản' = Origin of the Sun);
-North Korea (Vietnamese: Bắc Triều Tiên - Chinese: 北朝鲜(Bei Chao Xian) - Korean: 북조선(Buk Jo Seon) - Japanese: 北朝鮮(Kita Cho Sen));
They are sharing Sinosphere culture, so many words are origin from Chinese. More than 50% of Vietnamese words are lending from Chinese (Sino-Vietnamese words), it's same like Korean or Japanese.
As a Thai, I once took my Vietnamese friends to a restaurant and learnt that our words for squid and ink are pretty much the same.
Thai: หมึก (meug)
Vietnamese: Mực
@@trainity14 It is a good example of many Ethnics living together in a contiguous geographical area. Perhaps there is more or less interference with each other. However, what I want to mention here is not a few isolated examples. Vietnamese has a systematic acquisition of Chinese writing and language for about ~2200 years. Today, about ~50% of the words in Vietnamese are borrowed from Chinese. It's not just a few words alone, it's a whole system of language and culture transferring.
@@giangdoxuanI think it could be more than 50%
Vietnam's way of naming countries in Europe is quite complicated. Due to historical factors.
First we use different phonetic transcriptions for Chinese characters. Like some words in Europe and each country has a slightly different pronunciation. At first we used Chinese documents to know about Western countries, and we ourselves took notes in Chinese characters. Therefore, some country names have been transliterated into Vietnamese after being transliterated into Chinese. For example, France is read by the Chinese as "Fa Ran Xi" and written as 法兰西, but we read the word 法兰西 as Phap Lan Tay and shorten it as "Phap". Similar to England (Ang Land - Eng Country), Germany (Deutschland - Duc Country), Italia ("I Ta Lia" in Chinese and "Y Dai Loi" in Vietnamese) Quoc 国 /Nuoc means country.
Some of us borrowed some French words to say the names of countries, for example Ê Cốt (Ecosse),...
Some are named by us based on our geographical location with our country, for example Nam Dương (South Ocean) means Indonesia because they are located on the south coast of Vietnam. Or the US we call Hoa Kỳ 華旗 (Flowers Flag - Because in Vietnam people look at the stars on the American flag and think they are flowers, because East Asians think that a star is round and not five-pointed like the West).
Thank you for this information.That's interesting nhưng sau viết thêm tiếng việt được không đọc đau mắt quá

Nice explanation!! Even Vietnamese like me couldn't have explained in detail like this!! Props to you
I'm learning Vietnamese, and when I was learning vocabulary for countries, I was very confused by 'nước Ý'. The word 'Ý' also means idea so I thought that Italy was 'the country of ideas' 🤣
as a Vietnamese, i don't even know this and how you can know this. :))

As French. That's correct. It's indeed Pologne 🇨🇵 for Poland 🇬🇧🇺🇸

As a talking tree, I want to say that we do have a lot of ways to name countries
For example, England is just "Anh", but United Kingdom is "Vương quốc Anh" and Great Britain of United Kingdom and Northern Ireland is "Vương quốc Liên hiệp Anh và Bắc Ai-len"
France is just "Pháp" or "Cộng hoà Pháp" (French Republic) but in some old document, France is called "Phú Lang Sa", "Pha Lang Sa", "Phú Lãng Sa", "Pháp Lang Sa" or "Pháp Lan Tây"
Vietnam is "Việt Nam", or the full name is "Cộng hoà Xã hội chủ nghĩa Việt Nam" (Socialist Republic of Vietnam)
Thailand is "Thái Lan", "Vương quốc Thái Lan (Kingdom of Thailand) and the shorter name is just "Thái"
The informal name of the USA is just "Mỹ", but in formal cases, USA is "Hoa Kỳ" or "Hợp chúng quốc Hoa Kỳ"
Japan is "Nhật Bản" or the simpler name is "Nhật"
Italy is "Ý", just a single word from the shorten name "Ý Đại Lợi"
And the last one, Poland is "Ba Lan"
I’m Japanese.
When “Japan”, I think Thai prononciation is sillier to Japanese, “Nippon”.
In Japan, we say “Nihon” or “Nippon”.
I made a strong impression “Y” in Vietnam.
It's like that, but the word "Yipun" we derived from South Chinese dialect "Yit Pun" , Yit means the sun and Pun means もと, floor, origin or somethings
The word "Ý" (Italy) is actually can be converted to Chinese character "意".
The original word for it is "意大利", which means Italy, and is pronounced /yì dà lì/ in Chinese.
Therefore, Ý means Italy in Vietnamese. FYI.
it is just different from English but the fact we translate from they language (the country name)for example: greece in greece language is hellas and in madarin it is 希臘(xila)and in vn same word hy lạp... Egypt in Egypt is aiji(i'm not remember correct) in madarin it will be 埃及(aiji ) in vn will be ai cập... Netherlands in Netherlands is holland and in madarin it is 荷蘭(helan)in vn it is hà lan ... germany is Deutsch and in madarin will be 德國（de guo) and in vn it will be đức ,... So the weird is English because English translation they original name different ... So vn and madarin is respect the original but English language don't...loll😂😂😂
@@ucchau173 whoa there the Netherlands are the Netherlands, Holland is a province of the Netherlands.
In Vietnamese, Full name of UK is “Vương quốc liên hiệp Anh và bắc Ai-len”
For USA, we call it “Mỹ” or “Hoa Kỳ”, its full name is “Hợp chúng quốc Hoa Kì”

10:55 The person who did the subtitles caught the mistake but yeah. In french, "Poland" is "Pologne" [pɔlɔɲ], not "Polande"
His little rule of when a word ends with "land" in english, you add an "e" in french just doesn't work at all. Off the top of my head, there's one name they already covered in this video :
EngLAND --> Angleterre, not Englande
There's also SwitzerLAND --> Suisse, not Switzerlande nor Suisselande
The NetherLANDs --> Pays-Bas, not Netherlandes
EngLand -> AngleTerre :)
That's because land is Germanic while terre is Latinate.
pologne (poland)
Irlande ( Ireland)
Islande ( Iceland)
Nouvelle-Zélande (New Zealand)
@@thevannmann Je peux me tromper mais le mot "land" proviendrait du celte. C'est d'ailleurs, en français, un mot d'origine gauloise (celte), donc. Il est possible que ce mot 'land" provienne d'ailleurs du mot (d'ancien) français. En français moderne, le mot "lande" signifie un terrain en friche, ou n'ayant que peu de végétation. Mais il y a bien une idée de territoire.
Dans le sud-ouest de la France, un département s'appelle "les Landes".
Oui, je sais pas ce qui lui a pris de dire ça. La Pologne c'est quand même connu.
Hello I’m Thai, in my opinion Thai girl in this video misunderstood in some word. Actually Thai language is so difficult, many Thai people themselves also agree at this point. Especially, the advanced and formal Thai words, many people used them wrong. That Thai girl said “united kingdom” in Thai is “อังกฤษ”(Un-grid), it is totally incorrect because “อังกฤษ” means only England or English. But the united kingdom in Thai language, the correct answer is สหราชอาณาจักร (Sa-ha-raj-cha-ar-na-chak).
เห็นด้วยที่ผู้หญิงไทยคนนี้พูดไทยไม่ดีมากนัก เช่นพูดบางคำไม่ชัดและเบาเกินไปไม่เน้นคำไทย แต่คำว่า ประเทศอังกฤษ ผู้หญิงไทยพูดถูก คนไทยส่วนใหญ่เรียกอังกฤษว่าอังกฤษ ยกเว้นแต่จะเป็นชื่อเต็มที่เรียกว่า สหราชอาณาจักร ขนาดเราคุยกันตอนนี้เราก็ยังเรียกว่าอังกฤษเลย
I'm just happy to see people from very different countries just getting along.
As a language from Latin , country names in french are similar to other Latin ones , but some differences in pronunciation , one of the most unique is exactly Royaume-Uni 😅
This is probably because UK is composed from two common nouns, "united" and "kingdom", which get translated to their equivalent in other languages and then recomposed together.
In french, "royaume" directly translates to "kingdom" and "uni" to "united".
@@Cyphall royaume seems like a noun version of royal, that is, something belongs to royal family
All countries named in the video were almost identical between English and French...
You should bring on a Cambodian speaker with Thai and French, because then you'll notice how they're all connected through history and colonialism. For example, in Khmer, we say: Prateis A'merique (America) or Saha Rot A'merique (United States of America), Chakphop Angklais (United Kingdom), Earlong (Ireland), Allemung (Germany) - basically name of countries are borrowed from French, while a lot of other words for kingdoms and states are Pali/Sanskrit words (similar to Thai and Lao).

Hi, so fun to watch it. Especially "ý"😂
In Thailand, the UK is officially called 'Sa ha rad cha a na jak', but it is called 'Pra ted Ang grid' in general because a lot of Thai people considered the UK as England, or the origin of the English language, which we also call 'Pa sa Ang grid'.
FYI... อังกฤษ ' Ang Grid' is English. NO WONDER 😂

Vietnamese and Thai girls so pretty
3:33 Here is a better explanation for including the word "nước" or not:
For countries like England (Anh), France (Pháp), Germany (Đức), Italy (Ý), etc. whose names are short in Vietnamese and, more importantly, are common words in Vietnamese, it can make confusion if the word "nước" is not included (in some cases). For example, "Ý" in Vietnamese means "meaning"/"opinion"/"purpose"/... and also means Italy; "Anh" (often) means "older brother" or male person around the age of older sibling, and also means England. Therefore, if the context is not clear enough, the word "nước" is added; if the context is clear enough, it's completely fine to skip the word "nước", but it's also formal to add the word "nước" (even though it's redundant). In case of "Việt Nam" and "Nhật Bản" (Japan), it's the same idea applied in reverse; when the context is clear enough, those names are shortened to "Việt" and "Nhật". By the way, for the country names mentioned above, in most cases the context is clear enough. For "Úc" (Australia), it's not a common word so in most (if not all) cases, Vietnamese can understand that without the word "nước".
By the way, if you notice how Vietnamese people refer to eachother's name, you may notice people whose names end with "Anh", or people with similar names (in the same group), often get referred with an additional word from their name, to avoid confusion.
For example:
A group of friends consists of 6 people, whose full names are:
Nguyễn Mai Anh,
Trần Thị Liên,
Lê Ngọc Linh,
Phạm Khánh Linh,
Hoàng Thị Mai,
Vũ Thị Mai.
They would call eachother as:
Mai Anh (because "Anh" is a common word),
Liên (only one "Liên" here),
Ngọc Linh or Linh Lê (to distinguish the 2 Linh),
Khánh Linh or Linh Phạm (same reason as above),
Mai Hoàng (to distinguish the 2 Thị Mai),
Mai Vũ (same reason as above).
In general, Vietnamese often use just enough words to distinguish the related names/concepts/... (unless the redundancy is necessary for formality).
thank you so much for the explanation!!
The word anh(英) in anh quốc (English) is han word and different to the word anh( pure vn word) mean brother just similar pronun but different word meaning..we called it" đồng âm khác nghĩa"

FYI, due to the thousand-year rule of China over Vietnam, Chinese culture and language had a profound influence on the Vietnamese language, leading to the adoption of many Chinese words, including country names. Vietnamese names for countries were often based on Chinese translations of those names. Since Vietnam began using Latin characters for writing Vietnamese and gained independence, many foreign names were pronounced directly from English or Latin, to make them more easily understandable and to facilitate their writing. Nevertheless, the traditional Chinese-based names for most countries/cities/places continue to be used because they have been popular for centuries, and they are still widely recognized by Vietnamese people today.
Here are some examples: From Chinese: Anh (England), Ý (Italy) unabbreviated from Ý Đại Lợi (意大利), Nga (Russia) from Nga La Tư (俄羅斯), Tây Ban Nha (Spain 西班牙), Bồ Đào Nha (Portugal 葡萄牙); directly from Latin/English: Braxin (Brazil) used to call Ba Tây from 巴西, Ca-na-đa (Canada), Mê-hi-cô (Mexico), Ác-hen-ti-na (Argentina)...
One example of this name-switching phenomenon can be seen in the Vietnamese names for the country now known as Czech. In the past, Vietnamese used Tiệp Khắc from Chinese 捷克 to refer to Czechoslovakia, and now they use Cộng hòa Séc for the Czech Republic - no longer Cộng hòa Tiệp Khắc.
Also it’s good to know that the Chinese translation was mostly phonetic conversion straight from original language, rather than English that’s why some of them sounds very different than English. I think España > 西班牙 > Tây Ban Nha is quite clever and Spanish "ñ" is similar to Vietnamese "nh" and Spain is located in the West, hence Tây.
@@lifewyred "Spain is located in the West, hence Tây." lol

Lets google translate read this for you. This is actual country name in official Thai language.
UK = สหราชอาณาจักร (สห = united, ราชอาณาจักร = kingdom)
USA = สหรัฐอเมริกา (สห = united, รัฐ = state, อเมริกา = America)
Wild thing about English is the other -land names get their vowels reduced to schwa, but Thailand generally doesn’t.
Swaziland is another that doesn’t.
In Finnish:
- United Kingdom = Yhdistynyt kuningaskunta
- Great Britain = Iso-Britannia (more common I think)
- England = Englanti (also the same as 'english' [language] but without the capital)
- Northern Ireland = Pohjois-Irlanti
- France = Ranska
- Vietnam = Vietnam
- Thailand = Thaimaa
- United States of America = Yhdysvallat (also often just Amerikka or USA but the letter combo is said like a word and not the letters like in English)

There are actually a few ways to say the UK or England in Vietnamese. The full name of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" is either "Vương quốc Liên hiệp Anh và Bắc Ireland" or "Liên hiệp Vương quốc Anh và Bắc Ireland". It can also just be called "Anh Quốc", "Vương quốc Anh" or simply "Anh". The US can also be called "Hoa Kỳ" which was an old term meaning the Star-spangled banner but evolved to mean the country. An alternate reading of Japan is "Nhật Bổn". Most of these names came from Sino-Vietnamese readings.
Also add that the full name of the US in Vietnamese is " Hợp Chủng Quốc Hoa Kỳ" or Hoa kỳ for short, it the more formal way to call the US, Mỹ just mean America.

@@chithiennguyen1371 was*. No one wants to use an outdated Viet-Sino reading anymore because it’s lengthy and way too different than original sounds. Original > Chinese > Vietnamese, thành tam sao thất bản.
@@spookyengie735 *Hợp Chúng quốc Hoa Kỳ mới chính xác, dịch ra có nghĩa là liên bang Hoa Kỳ, dùng từ hợp chủng là sai mà sai cứ dùng đi dùng lại rồi chẳng ai biết đâu là đúng là sai nữa!
it is just different from English but the fact we translate from they language (the country name)for example: greece in greece language is hellas and in madarin it is 希臘(xila)and in vn same word hy lạp... Egypt in Egypt is aiji(i'm not remember correct) in madarin it will be 埃及(aiji ) in vn will be ai cập... Netherlands in Netherlands is holland and in madarin it is 荷蘭(helan)in vn it is hà lan ... germany is Deutsch and in madarin will be 德國（de guo) and in vn it will be đức ,... So the weird is English because English translation they original name different ... So vn and madarin is respect the original but English language don't...loll😂😂😂
There is a state which it identical to Poland with the letter r next to the o and l together
6:10 "America" (อเมริกา) is just medium form, the normal one.
The Long One We say "Sa-Ha-Rath America" (สหรัฐอเมริกา).
The Shortest Form we can just say "Me-ca" (เมกา).
8:26 You say '(la) Pologne' in French and not "Polande"
If he is French, isn't he supposed to know that? I mean it's basic. I wonder why he said Polande.
@@JuanCarlos49086 Because he applied that rule, and overestimated its power. Also because they used to be on opposite sides of the iron curtain.
@@JuanCarlos49086 He just maybe didn’t know his geography right. As a French compatriot it’s weird that he doesn’t know basic European geography but that’s that
@@JuanCarlos49086 When you speak multiple langages, your brain might mix things up a bit. I know I did that mistake before with english where I took the english word and add my mother tongue prononciation/ending to it and think it's a real word
@@JuanCarlos49086 Because he was probably seeing "Poland" written in front of him, and he got disrupted by that..
The frenchman made a big mistake
The real name is "Pologne" for Poland
"Polande" does not exist, nobody will understand in France if you say that
J’ai l’air vraiment bête du coup pour “Polande”… désolé pour ça, on a fait beaucoup de différents pays et la Pologne était vers la fin du tournage… je sais pas ce qui m’est passé par la tête, la fatigue sûrement et le fait de ne pas avoir parlé français depuis longtemps 🙏
Sorry for the mistake, I guess my brain just got tired after filming so many country names, haven’t been speaking French in a while too, totally my fault 😅
Good
Fun fact on the Viet section:
. we call England as Nước Anh (country of England) and Great Britain as Vương Quốc Anh (Kingdom of England)
. For USA Mỹ is the most popular name. Originates from the chinese name for USA, meaning beautiful, as in USA is like land of the beautiful. Another name is Hoa Kỳ, meaning Flag of flowers, sinces theres so many stars on it.
. For Japan, the "pan" is mostly kept intact. The Nhật part means Sun in chinese, cause Japan is land of the rising sun, also the old japan flag was a rising sun sooo
. In general, when the modern Vietnamese language was first drafted, the country names already in used popularly was adapted, which was either taken from Chinese pronunciations or sometimes latin. If they asked the Viet lady for Russia, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, boy theyll have a laugh
Don't blame the french guy for the Polande mistake, things like this can happen, especially when you live in a foreign country sometimes you mix things up
Thanks for understanding, it was my mistake, I guess I was tired after filming all the different countries and haven’t been speaking French in a while ❤
Lisa and Buakaw from Thailand.
Enjoyed this a lot. I would enjoy more country names compared. Tackle the African or South American countries!
*5:57** We also say "USA" but with a French accent...*
In polish🇵🇱 we say:
United Kingdom/Great Britain - Zjednoczone Królestwo Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii Północnej/Wielka Brytania
England - Anglia
Northern Ireland - Północna Irlandia
France - Francja
Vietnam = Wietnam
Thailand = Tajlandia
United States of America = Stany Zjednoczone Ameryki or USA
Japan = Japonia
Italy - Włochy
Poland - Polska
In Vietnamese. The names go this way:
1. United Kingdom = Anh
2. French = Pháp
3. Vietnam = Việt Nam
4. Thailand = Thái Lan = Thái
5. United States of America = Mỹ = Hoa Kỳ
6. Japan = Nhật Bản
There are some words in Vietnamese that you can put before the name, and the meaning is almost the same (just more informations, and more formal).
Those are: Đất nước (earth and water - country), nước (water - country), vương quốc (kingdom).
So there may go: Vương quốc Anh (UK), Nước Pháp (French), Đất nước Thái Lan (Thailand),...
Fun fact. Why the US come so much shorter in Vietnamese? Because we Vietnamese people first heard about the US from Chinese people. They call the US: mei gua (beautiful country). In vietnamese mei = Mỹ = Đẹp (beautiful). Another name of the US is Hoa Kỳ - this mean the flag of flowers (We people see the US flag and think that the stars on it are flowers).
USA full name should be Hợp Chủng quốc Hoa Kỳ.
The United Kingdom = Vương quốc Anh, England mới dịch là Anh thôi. The United States of America = Hợp chúng quốc Hoa Kỳ, có America dịch là Mỹ thôi
Im vietnamese but i learn English a bit so ivjust know English and Vietnamese
Quelle surprise d’entendre la vietnamienne et thaïlandaise parler coréen plutôt qu'en anglais !?
In fact Uk in vietnamese is Vương Quốc Anh , the Nước Anh just mean England
Actually for thai we call UK as "สหราชอนาจักร" (Sa-ha-rach-a-na-jak in case anyone wondering how to say that) which is basically United Kingdom in Thai, is this video they simply use the thai version of English, so not accurate.
Warüigo: yükeira [United Kingdom], frongsra [France], wiîtnamra [Vietnam], syamra [Thailand], yüeseira [United States], nihonra [Japan], italyara [Italy], polskara [Poland]
Actuall , In Thai language we have a formally way to call a country with 'United , State and Kingdom'.
United = สห- (SaHa)
Kingdom = ราชอาณาจักร (Raja Anajak)
State = รัฐ (Rut)
For example
- UK = สหราชอาณาจักร (SaHa Raja Anajak) (Formal)
- England = อังกฤษ (Ang krit) (Speaking)
- USA = สหรัฐอเมริกา (SaHa Rut America) (Formal)
- Kingdom of Thailand = ราชอาณาจักรไทย (Raja Anajak Thai) (Formal)
The Thai for Japan sounds like a well known Japanese company
THIS IS SO GOOD!
UK=Poland
FR=Pologne
VN=Ba Lan
TH=Polænd̒ โปแลนด์
Vietnamese seems to share vocabulary with chinese like my=mei(guo) and pha=fa(guo)
Well the Chinese did rule over Vietnam for like 1,000 years. There are a lot of borrowed words from Cantonese and there a lot of Vietnamese people who speak Cantonese as well.
it is just different from English but the fact we translate from they language (the country name)for example: greece in greece language is hellas and in madarin it is 希臘(xila)and in vn same word hy lạp...

So the weird is English because English translation they original name different ... So vn and madarin is respect the original but English language don't...loll😂😂😂
@@CrimsonStigmata these countries are western countries so these words are more modern time so i don't think vietnam borrow these words from chinese but i think it the other way around, the chinese borrow words from vietnamese since chinese pinyin also copy vietnamese latin script
In Thai
Japan = yee poon
France = fa rang set
England = ang grid
Korea = kao lee
China = jeen
Portugal = pro tu get
In vietnamese, USA is also called "hoa kỳ"
Vietnamese for USA:
- Hợp chủng quốc Hoa Kỳ / Hoa Kỳ (USA)
- (Nước) Mỹ (America)
"In vietnamese we just say "y" 😂😂
Sie kommen aus den Vereinigten Koenigsreich.
Ich komme aus den Vereinigten Statten von Amerika.
Here's to hoping I didn't conjugate the verbs wrong. I trust Germans to correct me if I messed up, I'm looking for excuses to practice.
Edit: I looked. Apparently, "Sie kommt aus dem Verinigten Koenigsreich". Oops, we haven't gotten that far yet. Also, the Germans have a lot of words for the word "the".
The Vietnamese girl seems not to have proper knowledge of the language. In the past, we all use Sinicized version of country names
England: Anh Cát Lợi, Anh Quốc, or nước Anh in common speech
France: Phú Lang Sa (similar to Pharang), Pháp Quốc, and then nước Pháp
USA: we never call it US or USA, the correct term is Hoa Kỳ, hợp chủng quốc Hoa Kỳ, Huê Kỳ (old name), Mỹ Quốc, nước Mỹ… The word “Mỹ” is actually Chinese like Mei Guo in Mandarin or Mee Kwok in Cantonese
Japan: Nhật Bản (in modern Vietnamese), or Nhựt Bổn (old name) came from the term “Yaht Bun” in Cantonese or Nit Pon in some Chinese dialects
I can give some more examples
China: Trung Quốc or Trung Hoa (Zhong Guo or Zhong Hua), the Central Kingdom
S.Korea: Hàn Quốc, Đại Hàn, Đại Hàn Dân Quốc (from DaeHan MinGuk)
N.Korea: Triều Tiên (from the term Joseon)
Cambodia: Campuchia (from Kampuchea)
Malaysia: Mã Lai or just simply Malaysia
Philippines: Phi Luật Tân (old name) or just Philippines these days
Canada: Gia Nã Đại or simply Canada
Australia: Úc Đại Lợi or just “nước Úc”
Italy: Ý Đại Lợi, nước Ý (casual context) , and Italia (formal context), etc.
Ahh ty. I was wondering why she wasn’t explaining the names as much as the others were
@@averyglendemming141 Because she doesn't have the knowledge of it.
Don't forget America full name in Vietnamese is "Á Mỹ Lợi Gia"
North and South Vietnamese are different, though. It's possible that she was saying the names as they are where she's from. Anyway, some of yours match what she said.
@@chithiennguyen1371 That's a bit rude. You shouldn't make assumptions about others. As I said to the OP, it's possible that this is all how it's said in the part of Vietnam where she's from.
FYI: Formal name of the USA in Vietnamese is Hợp chủng quốc Hoa Kỳ or Hoa Kỳ for short.

还有比如奥斯曼土耳其就和英语读音不同，中文译名更接近土耳其本国读音。
Exactly we call
England: Sa-Ha-Rat-Cha-Ar-Na-Chak
Thailand: Rat-Cha-Ar-Na-Chak-Thay
I thought Poland = Pologne in French. It's Po-logne (As in Cologne) in Lao too.
I had fun watching this video. Thanks guys❤
I have a question, though! Why other countries don't use the same name that a nation has given to their own land?
Because languages are different lol.
Because in the past they know that country from the other country (the merchants) For Example Thai girl call England as "Anggrid" which came from French "Anglais" or Call France "Farangsaid" may be from Français or França (Portuguese) or Persian "Faranggi" Even The Natherlands we used to call them Holanda / Vilanda from Portuguese.
Every countries have they own way to call the others 😅
In Lebanese Arabic, here it is:
Britanya 🇬🇧 or Mamlaka El moutahida (United Kingdon literally)
And for the different kingdoms forming it:
Skotlanda 🏴
Wales 🏴
Inglitera 🏴
Irlanda el Shamaliya (Northern Ireland)
Fransa 🇫🇷
Vyetnam 🇻🇳
Tailand 🇹🇭
Wilayat El Moutahida 🇺🇸
Yaban 🇯🇵
Italya 🇮🇹
Polonya 🇵🇱
Ala, parecido al español:
Inglitera = Inglaterra
Irlanda = Irlanda
Vyetnam = Vietnam
Italya = Italia
Polonya = Polonia
Fransa = Francia
Tailand = Tailandia
พี่สาวลอเรนสู้ชีวิตมาก555555
Thai called England follow Frence as Anglais and called japan follow chinese.
can't keep my eyes off that french guy
8:28 it's wrong. Poland in french, we say "Pologne".
England = ประเทศอังกฤษ
United Kingdom = สหราชอาณาจักร
US / USA = สหรัฐอเมริกา (เรียกอเมริกาเฉยๆถ้าคุยกับต่างชาติเค้าอาจจะสับสนเป็นทวีป)
UK not "Nước Anh (England) "
It is "Vương quốc Liên hiệp Anh"
the thailand girl is look like moon ga young
