What a great video!! I love how it subtly introduced ways for me to use it correctly. "Abject flattery gets you nowhere..." Funny & dimensionally-intelligent video!!!!

"Foyer" is a French word, so the french pronunciation is accurate. I googled the pronunciation and it is "foi-yai" (my spelling).

Isn't 'never' a contraction of 'not ever' and similarly 'neither' a contraction of 'not either'?

How did some words from Greek get into English? Greece is a small and very distant country.
@priyamastibhati4 күн бұрын
Sanskrit. India is BIG and language creeped into near East to Greece via ancient premodern bilateral trade contacts. The diffusion to Greece and Roman lands created the push into the modern Europe that was just waking up to civilization. The rest is history.

Sorry to mention that I can't buy the word WAR came from any language other than language Tamil. It is just straight forward.
@ROOTSTHALAI-tf5hrАй бұрын
Tamil is one of the oldest language which has contributed its words to other languages and sure to the language English as well. Matrimonial,War,Word,Ginger,Rice,plant,victory, and etc, are a few words that I can list out.
@LangwigcfijulКүн бұрын
Those words you listed do not come from Tamil apart from one which definitely does have Dravidian roots and one that's debated. Ginger does ultimately come from Dravidian and rice may also come from Dravidian. Matrimonial, Plant, and Victory are ultimately from Latin. War is ultimately of Germanic origin but borrowed into English from French. Word is a native English word inherited through its Germanic roots. I don't know if you meant ETC is also from Tamil, but if you did, it's not. It's from the Latin: Et Cētera.

Lol “war” does not come from Old French. It’s a native Germanic word. In fact, French borrowed its “guerre” from Frankish “gwer”

Mother of all languages is Proto Serbian and I can prove it. Do you know that wild Greeks came to Pelasgian land and found culture and proto Serbian language and they just mixed with Pelasgian people and learned everything there? Here are just some examples. You can see first word is Serbian, second word is Greek and third word is German (Serbian, Greek and German) (ili-Alla-aber) (utočište- eutoichiste- Zuflucht) (blizu-pljsion-nahe) (breme- brjme- Gewicht) (koliba- kalyba- Hütte) (hod- hod-Gang) (Tece voda protiv vode-Teke wudas proti wudei-Es fliest Wasser gegen Wasser) (činim- xinjm- ich thue) (daleko- tale ko- entfernt) (dar-dar- Geschenk) (danak- danj- Abgabe) (delim- dieljm- ich teile) (Dever- dawer- Schwager) (trljam- tribo- ich reibe) (dom- dom- zu hause) (drzim- drassjm- ich halte) (duplo- diploo- verdoppele) (dva- dwo-zwei) (idu- ithuo- ich gehe) (jedan- jadon- eine) (grebu- grabo- kratzen) (kakim- kakam- ich scheiße) (klizam- kluzam- ich gleite) (glina- gli- klei) (kljuc- kljs- Schlüssel) (komora- kamara- kammer) (kanim- koinam- ich thue) (Koliko- kelikos-wieviel) (Kos- kossyf- Amsel) (klisura- klision- Schlucht) (kobila- kaballes-Stutte) (kokot- kokkos-Hahn) (leto- leto-jahr) (levo- laevos-linke) (mak- mak-Mohn) (manje- mjon-weniger) (mama-mamma- Mutter) (muva- muia- Fliege) (meljem- mullem- ich mahle) (merim- meirjm- ich messe) (mesec- meis- Mond) (magla-omichla- Nebel) (nosim-nisso-ich trage) (oko- oko- Auge) (orem- arom-ich ackere) (palica-pelekys-Keule) (put-pat-Weg) (pecem-peso-ich brate) (pero-ptero-Feder) (pijem- pjm-ich trinke) (pivo- pino- Bier) Sanskrit is made-up from Proto Serbian and are the same languages. Here some samples Sanskrit-Serbian-English: (bele-belo-white) (ghughu-gugutka-turtle dove) (dub-dubok-deep) (kaši-kašalj-cough) (kaste-kosa-sickle) (Mata-Mati-Mother) (madhu-med-honey) (majh-medja-boundary) (meša-mešati-to mix) (thunko-tanko-thin) (mara-umreti-to die) (baba-babo-father) (balak-balavac-immature person) (beg-beg-flight) (bedana-beda-grif) (bhrata-brat-brother) (churi-cura-girl) (Gra-Grad-Town) (Lod-Lud-Crazy) (Ljubhva-Ljubav-Love) (Deti-Dete-Child) (Smajase-Smeje se-Lahghing) (Sladu-Slatki-Sweet) (Kadajati-Kidati-Tear) (Suri-Svetli-Bright) (Mač-Mač-Sword) (Bhaga-Bog-God) (Nava-Novi-New) (Moru-Mora-Nightmare) (Čamarika-Čemerika-Hellebore) (Sobha-Soba-Room) (Krsti-Krst-Cross) (Tama-Tama-Dark) (Zvana-Zvono-Bell) (Dina-Dan-Day) (Apat-Patnja-Suffering) (Itvara-Utvara-Spook) (Inoti-Inatiti-Spite) (Učjati-Uciti-Learn) (Uda-Voda-Water) (Košah-Koža-Skin) (Kapalam-Kapa-Cap) (Kabila-Kobila-Mare) Please note additional reference Book from Alokananda Mitter Calcuta India, Similarities between Bengali and Sanskrit and Serbian.
