Marcus Antonius to Mark Anthony, Aristoteles to Aristotle, Iosef Jugashvili to Joseph Stalin, we still do it today

습근평인데...

Chinese foreign exchange students in Korea sometimes use their names transliterated in Korean, but other times they use the Korean pronunciation of the Hanja for their names.

I love this stuff. Thanks for the video!

很高兴能学习到这些有趣的知识。从没想过peter pedro pierre会是同源的名字

6:22, "ジェイン" is not "Jiein" in Romaji, it's "Jein". "Jiein" would be "ジエイン". Notice the difference between ェ and エ.

Americans call me Vincent, my grandfather on the 50s had his name translated from Italian to Spanish when he migrated to Venezuela.

If you consider every letter in an alphabet as a 'character', the same can be said for every language. An English person's pronunciation of pedro is still different than a Mexican's pronunciation, even if they're still using the letters p, e, d, r, o, because those letters make different sounds in English, the same way 平 sounds different in different languages. It's just that the changes occur on the letter scale, not a syllable scale.

In ancient china time there is no such thing as standard tongue (mandarin) today, in order to keep a vast empire running, HanZi (writing Chinese characters) was the key binding ever since the first emperor standardized it. HanZi bind the whole country together, even bind China with other countries like Japan, Korea and Vietnam who shared historical and cultural origins or connections. The first emperor of Qin dynasty unified China and the writing system more than 2000 years ago. But only about a century ago China government selected northern dialects mandarin as standard tongue and popularized it through education system.

I am absolutely deranged then, I do translate names into whatever language I'm using, even my own 😂

The idea at the start that the anglophone world gives any shits about pronunciation is utter nonsense!

So literally 3 characters?

중공의 충견 웬쟈이인 ㅋㅋㅋ

In Korea, when someone pronounces Japanese or Chinese names according to the Korean system, they do sound like a boomer. They never say “Toyotomi Hideoyoshi”, instead, they say “Pung-Shin-Soo-Gil”. They never regard modern gana, and just go straight for the Kanji.

I am wondering how these languages have been influenced by their Turkic language speaking neighbors.

nice video

Chinese characters are like the JVM byte code. Everyone else use Java.

I’m in a Japanese high school with a lot of Chinese exchange students, and it’s interesting to talk about how our names would sound in each others countries

I see you chose your words to describe Chinese carefully... saying "essentially exclusively." Did you say that to account for things such as CD or 卡拉OK?

Cantonese would have probably been better than mandarin for comparison. Also if the PRC used the RoC phonetic system it would've better. More difficult but it would still use Chinese concepts over latin system. All explained poorly by me but I'll let you readers do the research.

Two of these 3 PMs have passed away, what a risky job. 3:20

All these problems are gone away if everyone had an abugida script.

It's not complicated just ask someone "hey how is your name pronounced" and then pronounce it like that... without any of this funny business. Totally unnecessary.

Great video!

5:53 you've got Si Jinping written in Hangeul (시진핑) but you write Si Chinping in English (시친핑) 5:57 you have Yoshihide written perfectly in Hangeul (요시히데) with a "de" (데) but you write "dae" (댸) in English. 에 and 애 sound mostly the same phonetically but still isn't correct.

In the old days, when they met, they would just use brush talk, as in they will write what they want to say down, and everyone could understand

I've lives in East Asia (Korea) for almost a decade and didn't know that.

"The Japanese write the names in kana" *it literally cuts to a screen where it says 文在寅大統領 for "President Moon Jae-in"* Come on man! It's more complicated than that as your own example shows. They often write the names in kanji while giving them Korean readings.

That opening footage of Oxford Street in London is DEPRESSING

6:15 ムンジェイン should be transliterated as Mun Jein (or perhaps Mun Je'in, since ei is the transliteration of えい／エー used in quite a few romanization systems and so may be misinterpreted)

1:05 It's comforting to know that language buffs still mispronounce words in (what I assume is) their native language

in spanish petros doesnt become "pethrio", pedro is pronounced literally like PEDRO

썸네일.. 참을 수 없었다

시진핑은 예전엔 습근평이라고 부르기도 했지

Korean: Kim Jong-un Chinese: Jīn Zhèng'ēn Japanese: Kin Shōon English: Rocket Man

3 way handshake crazy

But in this days, korean and japanese read foreigner 's name in their language, while chineses still reads in chinese.

시진핑 is pronounced as siZhinping, not siChinping. If it were, it should have been 시'친'핑.

The Koreans they got the Chinese characters on the fuckin ID card!

Back in China I used to learn Japanese history pretty well, since all the names are ~4 characters long and are thus fairly easy to remember. Now that I'm in America, Japanese history turns frustrating because all the names become strings of 10-20 english letters (Tokugawa Ieyasu is written as 德川家康 in Chinese and Japanese Kanji, pronounced as DeChuan JiaKang in Chinese) arranged in a peculiar order since it's pronounced differently. Japanese and Korean students should have less trouble since these names are pronounced the same way in English and Japanese/Korean. It was only until I learnt a small amount of Japanese did I start remembering the names.

Is this a rumor not to mention he is there generation

3:18 Looking back from 2024, 2 out of these political figures in this clip are now dead of unnatural causes.

Thoughtful video on the role of visual spectacle in shaping public discourse! However, I actually think the Boar's Head and Lunchly situations are quite different. In case of Boar's Head, creating an image is both more difficult-requiring access to either the factories or the unfortunate victims-and less novel, so there's no financial incentive to do it. Lunchly is one of the first food brands launched by a modern kind of star, and available at any grocery store. Unlike Boar's Head, there's a famous face to use as a punching bag, outrage to be monetized. The food safety aspect gives it a universally-understood shock factor, but Rosanna didn't create that image out of concern for food safety.
