Hi. As a person living in Norway I would like to point out that Nordkapp (North cape) is NOT the northernmost point. On the same island is Knivskjellodden that is about 1,5 km. further north. But if You include islands then Rossøya north of Svalbard is the northernmost. On the mainland of Europe Kinnarodden is the northernmost point.

[@aaronocalli096]

How do you even pronounce Knivskjellodden?

[@johnnymartinjohansen]

@@aaronocalli096 The K is not silent, so for Englishspeakers, it would be something like "Kn-eve-shell-odd'n". And it means The Knife Shell Point. Knife shell is a type of clam.

[@christopherx7428]

No, North Cape is not the northernmost point in Europe. At 2:44 you can clearly see that the norther tip of Knivskjellodden is further north. Of course, way further north we have the whole archipelago of Svalbard... As for the one furthest west we have both Iceland and the Azores islands. If the narrator means the points on the mainland, then the North Cape is on an island too. In that case, it would be the Norwegian peninsula of Kinnarodden that is the northernmost point.

A bit naive to think that monaco's life expectency is high because of its geography and diet. It is so obviously the absence of poverty and the migration of wealthy people. This makes for tons of money in the health care system and less systemic health problems - such as a low quality diet (regarding involuntary price-based choices, not choice of cuisine) or harsh working conditions.

Largest castle is in India (either the Mehrangahr fort in Jodhpur or the Amer fort in Jaipur) - however they are named 'forts' due to colonial English terminology: a defensive structure with garrisons of soldiers. However royal families did live there (so are no different from European castles).

[@ARP_1922]

we have forts and castles in Europe too, in wich both royal families lived, so a fort is NOT a castle. Then the Mehrangahr fort is the largest fort in the world, but not the largest castle, simply "cause is not a castle.

"and funny accents" :D I don't have an accent when speaking my native language :P (german)

[@pobelix5803]

@ima sinner.. ive sinned why would that be important?

[@pobelix5803]

​@Miguel Ângelo You mean dialects, not accents ;) And yes, there are many dialects in german language.

[@pobelix5803]

@Miguel Ângelo Other native speakers will hear I'm a native speaker as well and they will recognize that I'm from the north. But that's more a dialect than an accent, even though our dialect is not that strong compared with swabian or bavarian which don't understand very well. Anyway, the german accent is quite strong when speaking other languages. In many cases I can tell a person is from Germany when he/she speaks english. One sentence is enough :P

[@pobelix5803]

@Miguel Ângelo Liguistically spoken: A dialect is a variation of the same language which is usually intelligible to all other variations. So I suppose you understand Brazilian Portuguese as well as Angolan and probably even Portuguese from East-Timor? (Which is quite cool, I'd say) An accent, on the other hand, is (among other things) the influence of pronounciation and stressing the native language has when speaking another language. As I said before, it's easy for me to identify germans when they speak english because of their (our) accent. No matter what dialect they speak in daily language. And of course, the own dialect always is the correct one and the best. ;)

[@pobelix5803]

@Miguel Ângelo So then maybe it's just the german language in which we distinguish between "Akzent" and "Dialekt" as I described earlier. Could be.
