[@lorrainemoynehan6791]

can we please also note that these people are answering in a 2nd language

[@leohickey4953]

Yes, sometimes third or fourth. Congratulations to all those giving right answers.

[@Dqtube]

This is why I always fail these quizzes on ‘THE’ questions, because I still didn't take the time to look up the official English names of each country.

[@janolaful]

Connor please your reacting to the the video there not asking you 😮

[@arcanevi4477]

How do u know its second? Maybe it's the third or fourth

[@lorrainemoynehan6791]

@@arcanevi4477 I have no idea, neither do you, but the point `I was making was that they are not answering it their native tongue

[@AncientBriton1948]

Are you sure you're an American? You'd wipe the floor with most answering questions on the Internet. Well done 🇬🇧

[@zasou571]

Wow - never seen an american with such a huge geographical knowledge! Very well done ^^ 👍

[@olgarullegardin7242]

Think............. He has no idea, it´s acting. Look at his body language, his face his eues. Totally ridiculous.

[@zasou571]

​@@olgarullegardin7242do you think, he really saw this Video before, searched for the right answers, wrote them up and THAN faked the reaction? Phew, that would be wild! Must take a second view...

[@a_aq163]

I guess he watched the video first and then acted like he knew the answers🤣

[@xenotypos]

@@a_aq163 Why would he act like that ? It's not like he's especially good, he's just decent overall. I had more than him and I'm not the craziest geography nerd far from it. So I think if he wanted to fake it at least he'd try to look amazing. He seemed genuine to me.

[@declanrussell2232]

I think you did better than me so fair play. Most Americans wouldn’t have your geographical knowledge 👍🏼

[@module79l28]

Title of the original video: "Can Europeans Answer..." Me: "Ah yes Ghana, Europe Ah yes Brazil, Europe Ah yes Colombia, Europe Ah yes Canada, Europe Ah yes Argentina, Europe Ah yes Morocco, Europe Ah yes Ivory Coast, Europe Ah yes Lebanon, Europe"

[@kingcountrykiwi7429]

Lol, “Ghana” 🤔

[@tbirdparis]

You should watch some videos on Cyprus and learn about it some more, it's a rabbit hole I bet you'll really enjoy. Ancient and recent history, border disputes and a weird frozen war basically till this day. There's some quality content out there you'd like.

[@paulharvey9149]

You're good at this, Connor!

[@camoTiaras]

Hey, well done Connor, you are very good, maybe you should apply for some UK game shows, you would do USA proud.

[@gremezahk1]

Actually Luxembourg is not a microstate. It can fit all microstates combined.

[@JourneyTowardsReality.]

That was a puzzle rather than geography.

[@ThirstyTunaTaco]

Lol McJibbin was probably a nerdy kid in school who was daydreaming over his worldmap when he was like 8 years old and knew more capitals than his teacher.. Don't worry.. I was like you also and i still am a geo and history freak. I hated math and physics though.. Oh well.. At least i have visited 94 countries and never worked in an office or lab. 😀

[@paulpuckerinGM]

Congrats 👏 👏 👏 impressive knowledge. Well done. 😊

[@magnolia7277]

Well done!

[@hansson2257]

Nice a mcjibbin upload

[@fiorefan]

In the question about official languages of Spain, the quizmaster almost certainly meant Galician instead of Gaelic. I don't know where he is from but at least in English I can see how one could confuse the two. Also, it's nice to see someone from the US doing well in a geograpgy quiz.

[@smtuscany]

That guy is Austrian-Bulgarian if I remember correctly.

[@michaelcaffery5038]

The name Galician comes from a Celtic language spoken in Iberia but now is a romance language. Some believe the people have a Gaelic connection but this is disputed. There may be a distant connection between the similar names.

[@Frahamen]

Both Galician and Portuguese get there names from celtic Porto Galla: the Gaulish port. But are still not celtic languages ​@@michaelcaffery5038

[@janicejohnson6372]

Well done

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

The Mozambique one took me ten straight minutes of questioning my own sanity, incompetence, and entire life's worth of choices. I never thought I would find such relief in seeing the image of an AK-47 in my mind.

[@module79l28]

The problem with that question is that it's done in English because in Portuguese there are more one-word countries that have all the vowels in their name.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

@@module79l28 Had a similar problem. Never heard of a country with all the vowels in it before because no such country exists in Danish: These are our vowels A E I O U Y Æ Ø Å, and most words will have E in all the syllables except the stressed one.

[@module79l28]

@@rasmusn.e.m1064 - But Moçambique, the official name, is also Mozambique in Danish, isn't it? So at least it has the standard five.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

@@module79l28 That is true, but that is only because it's a very recent loanword. And here's the problem: We were never taught the "standard five" in Danish class. Yeah, I was taught them later in English class because we had to learn how English speakers refuse to classify Y as a vowel even though very often is one, which seems extra grotesque to us because it represents the same sound as French U or German Ü in Danish except in loanwords like Yoga or Yoghurt and is thus completely different from either I or U. I also think one reason we might have been taught differently than, I assume you must be Portuguese or Brazilian, you is that Æ, Ø, and Å are not thought of as modifications of a single vowel but more like perfect compromises between two vowels: Æ between our standard A and E-sounds, Ø between our O and E-sounds and Å between our A and O sounds. They are also not that rare. Add to that that most people's third language isn't a Romance language but German, and suddenly English just seems like the odd one out; It's the only one out of the three that only has "five" vowels. Anyway, the point is: There was never any reason to suspect that a country might be spelled with our standard vowels, so we didn't learn to think about countries in that way.

[@noonesbother3759]

Nice to see how you pronounced Latvian capital Rīga so profoundly - well done as it did sound like native.👍

[@skylargreen7156]

Well done ! I feel a little ashamed not to have found the capital of Fiji even though my island is not very far from Fiji 😅. Great time watching your video 😊

[@MantisEnergy]

I expected you go for Djibouti for a j country 🤓 Wouldn't have surprised me one bit

17:02 The Soviets tried to claim Moldovan as separate language but really It's just a dialect of Romanian. They even changed it in Moldovan constitution recently from "moldovan" to "romanian"

Hi, I recommended the video under a different name, congratulations, it was really difficult! 👍

[@Waterford1992]

The national language of Belize is English not Spanish as it was a British colony until 1984

[@victoria_marleo]

Eso es verdad, pero primero fue colonia española, concretamente perteneció a la corona de Castilla desde 1519. Luego pasó a ser británica e impuso su lengua y ahora el inglés es oficial. Aun así la gente en Belice habla el español más que el propio inglés y su cultura es puramente española.Hay que decirlo todo amigo

[@kingcountrykiwi7429]

Hey, I watch that hosts KZbin channel. He’s a Polish singer. Cyprus is part of the commonwealth. I thought English would be a official language.

[@Robert89349]

Galician is a language of Spain not Gaelic. Gaelic is part of the Celtic languages, Galician is a Romance language.

[@chrissmith8773]

Where is “Edinburrow"?

About official languages in Spain: its Galician, not gaelic

[@derpeek]

Which miles. Land or sea miles?

[@ChocolateMilk..]

He actually said "Bloemfonstein". He was wrong.

I'm watching video and I ' m basically giving your answer..😂😂😂

[@allenwilliams1306]

Five furlongs is very close to one kilometre. Eight furlongs to the mile, so one mile is one and three-fifths (1·6) km.

[@allenwilliams1306]

There are two British sovereign bases on Cyprus where the official language is, obviously, English.

[@johnwilliams575]

Good game, enjoyed that one. You did well - Go USA!!

[@publicminx]

but then it also has to be an international and higher educated environment like in such European Parliament 'Student' like stuff (which might even be ppl for a special topic which fits to those geographic questions) ...

Can Africans name three capital cities in Europe? Yes, easily, they are all living there

[@DisconnectedRoamer]

90 seconds into the video and they've already asked an African and an Asian.

[@Halli50]

The capitol of XYZ? That is not a geography question, it's a political question! What absolute nonsense! You should have cut it off right there - now you have to live with this nonsense for eternity!

[@estranhokonsta]

Nah. Capital name is as much geography as the name of the country. I don't know where you got that. Following your reasoning countries would be invalid since they are political entities.
