Gonna share it with my students. I've been an English language and lit tutor for 43 years now, and have never ceased to be amazed when a beginner starts to understand and speak English. I think languages are like a miracle; one of the best examples of human ingenuity. Thank you so much, from Brazil.

[@GoGreen1977]

As an English speaking American who has been studying Spanish for years, I want to know how English escaped having nouns with gender and having to match articles and adjectives to the gender of the nouns. I believe almost all other European languages have gendered nouns, which totally confuses native English speakers when first being introduced to Spanish, French, German, etc. How did English get rid of those gendered nouns?

[@woodsplitter3274]

I think English grammar became simplified over the years and the gendered nouns gradually fell out of use. (I believe OE used them).

[@viddl8267]

[@acustomer7216]

Egads I recall French class. A typewriter has a gender??😳

[@susanlegeza7562]

We do not havegenderednouns in hungarian either!

[@elijahm1636]

English is close to it but not actually a genderless language. We have gendered pronouns and word modifications like actor and actress. While I'm not sure about the latter, the former is a small remnant of the three genders of old English (masculine, feminine and neuter). Nouns in most (if not all) Germanic languages have no system to distinguish gender (like a and o endings in Spanish). With that in mind, all that you need is a shift in the determiners. Old English has three words for the: "se," (masculine) "seo," (feminine) and "that" (neuter). That shifted to be the demonstrative determiner we use today. Se and seo either merged to become the pronouns he and she or the word "the."

40-Simbaña Tasintuña Joel- 1D The history of English is very interesting because to get to the English that we currently have, it went through several processes since at first Old English was nothing like the one we currently have but it evolved because there were many conquests in which they were added words or its pronunciation was changed until it reached a point where everything was fixed in both writing and pronunciation and is now one of the most widely spoken languages ​​in the world. Thanks to this video I was able to understand that behind in English there is a long and interesting story

[@OmegamonUI]

1. interssting point is wherever germans come, they adopted the local languages. germans speak latin and french. goten spanish. Lombard Italian. the only exception is the british isles. the Germans in the form of Saxons, Anglers have kept their language. from which English developed. As a German, I could say that my ancestors brought English along the way. 2. intersssting point is. Julius cäsar take a germanic tribe and then called all with the same culture, language ... are germanics. the most came from the terretory of modern germany. so and englisch spoken people called the land who i live Germany and our language German. and this words came from germanics. but this is not so wrong because cäsar called all tribes east the rhine river Germanics. now in Germany we have many different people like saxons, bavariens, Hessen, thuringiens and so on. and all called germans. this shows how important is german and our history for europe, despite english as world language and the influence of spanish, portugues, italien, french speaking countries.

[@katerinaxatzi8551]

On September 26, 1957 and October 2, 1959 in Washington, as part of the World Bank Annual Meetings, Mr. Xenophon Zolotas, a famous and highly educated Greek, delivered two speeches in English using (exclusively) Greek words. Not ancient ..... but words used by the Greeks from Antiquity until today in their daily lives and not only!!! Mr. Zolotas was a great Economist, who at the age of 24 became a University Professor, for a number of years Governor of the Bank of Greece and Prime Minister. who by many has now been accepted as one of the most important personalities of the last century). The special element was that he used throughout his speech words that were of Greek origin and are used in English. The audience watching the IMF meeting was speechless and Zolotas's speech became historic with him and his wife making headlines in the NYT and "Washington Post". (Somebody must be fluent in English and Greek to be able to write two such speeches. I will quote you the first one.) The speech was: ''Kyrie, I eulogize the archons of the Panethnic Numismatic Thesaurus and the Ecumenical Trapeza for the orthodoxy of their axioms, methods and policies, although there is an episode of cacophony of the Trapeza with Hellas. With enthusiasm we dialogue and synagonize at the synods of our didymous Organizations in which polymorphous economic ideas and dogmas are analyzed and synthesized. Our critical problems such as the numismatic plethora generate some agony and melancholy. This phenomenon is characteristic of our epoch. But, to my thesis, we have the dynamism to program therapeutic practices as a prophylaxis from chaos and catastrophe. In parallel, a panethnic unhypocritical economic synergy and harmonization in a democratic climate is basic. I apologize for my eccentric monologue. I emphasize my eucharistia to you Kyrie, to the eugenic and generous American Ethnos and to the organizers and protagonists of this Amphictyony and the gastronomic symposia. Η δεύτερη ομιλία στις 2 Οκτωβρίου 1959: Kyrie, It is Zeus’ anathema on our epoch for the dynamism of our economies and the heresy of our economic methods and policies that we should agonise between the Scylla of numismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic anaemia. It is not my idiosyncrasy to be ironic or sarcastic but my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptoplethorists. Although they emphatically stigmatize numismatic plethora, energize it through their tactics and practices. Our policies have to be based more on economic and less on political criteria.Our gnomon has to be a metron between political, strategic and philanthropic scopes. Political magic has always been antieconomic. In an epoch characterised by monopolies, oligopolies, menopsonies, monopolistic antagonism and polymorphous inelasticities, our policies have to be more orthological. But this should not be metamorphosed into plethorophobia which is endemic among academic economists. Numismatic symmetry should not antagonize economic acme. A greater harmonization between the practices of the economic and numismatic archons is basic. Parallel to this, we have to synchronize and harmonize more and more our economic and numismatic policies panethnically. These scopes are more practical now, when the prognostics of the political and economic barometer are halcyonic. The history of our didymous organisations in this sphere has been didactic and their gnostic practices will always be a tonic to the polyonymous and idiomorphous ethnical economics. The genesis of the programmed organisations will dynamize these policies. I sympathise, therefore, with the aposties and the hierarchy of our organisations in their zeal to programme orthodox economic and numismatic policies, although I have some logomachy with them. I apologize for having tyrannized you with my hellenic phraseology. In my epilogue, I emphasize my eulogy to the philoxenous autochthons of this cosmopolitan metropolis and my encomium to you, Kyrie, and the stenographers.''

Very informative and enjoyable, well done! Just a pity that you didn't mention the fact that the American branch as a whole of the English language is still somehow based on the English of Shakespeare's times, due to the process of colonization that took place from the 16th century onwards, whereas the development of British English from Shakespearean to present time of course pursued a very different pace.

I really like your explanation!!

[@danidejaneiro8378]

Maybe Shakespeare was the first recorded example of _assassination_ but the word exists in Portuguese as _assassinar_ suggesting it has Latin origins

[@fernandoreynaaguilar1438]

Don't forget the word "Assassin" comes from an ancient iranian sect, which originated the term and word.

[@adventussaxonum448]

I think he's referring to the noun "assassination" rather than the verb assassinar (assassinate) or the original hashashin of Persian Shia origin. They all ultimately derive from the Iranian.

01-Acosta Leslie 1D It is interesting to know that the English language has been developing, first we had the old English, then the medium and the current English that we have been expanding more knowledge, English has been updating through more modern forms, it is like an analogy, when the animals become extinct, languages tend to become extinct in the same way. Some idiamos are somewhat different. As we can know, English is a GERMATIC language, which was used for a group of people, which nowadays no longer exists. The history of the English language was produced by invasions and movements of people. The video caught my attention because I learned more about the evolution of English and how it could progress to the present.
