The thing why Flemish (Belgian Dutch) is so similar to German is because they are basically the same language both belonging to the west Germanic language continuum (basically the dialect changes every village a bit from the north of Italy in Tirol to the North Sea in the Netherlands, so while our standardized languages might differ quite a bit people living close to the border can understand eachother perfectly fine in their dialects (e.g. I can have a conversation with a Dutch person in my German dialect while I couldn't with a Bavarian or Austrian). Polish on the other hand is a Slavic language and hence not related to German which is why, except some loanwords, they are not intelligible for eachother at all. Basically English (though kinda the black sheep of the family due to a lot of French influence for historical reasons), Dutch, Flamish, Luxembourgish, Liechtensteinish (?) German, Swiss German, Austrian German, Tirolian German, High German, Low German, Afrikaans, Yiddish, Frisian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese are all one language family of the Germanic languages, everything west and south of this block (plus romania) Romanic languages, everything east Slavic languages (with the exception of Hungarian and Finnish which are Ugric (asiatic steppe nomadic) languages, the Baltics which have their own Baltic language family and Greek which is its own thing (basically all their relatives were conquered and assimilated by Slavs and Turks)

The reason why the word for “math(s)” is so different in Dutch is because Simon Stevin, a mathematician from Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) preferred using Dutch terms for scientific concepts instead of terms that were derived from Latin or Greek. That’s why he invented several new Dutch words, one of which is “wiskunde” for mathematics.

[@lies1]

Furthermore, “wis” is not the same as “wijs” (wise) like they were suggesting in the video. “Kunde” indeed means something like “knowledge” or “science”, but “wis” actually means “certain”. The word “wis” is not used anymore except for in certain expressions: “een wisse dood” (a certain death). So wiskunde can be translated as “the knowledge of that which is certain”. Meaning knowledge you can prove by calculations.

[@williamwilting]

Well, I don't really know if the English-ish word has ever been used in Dutch, but if I had to guess I think it was, because the word 'mathematisch', which means 'mathematically', is actually still used. I think it's an older kind of Dutch where a word like 'mathemtiek' or 'mathematica' might come from (if it was, I still don't know which of the two, but both are assumable with mathematiek coming from Germanic (which is more related to German) or mathematica (which is more related to the Latin origin). The american woman might be more surprised about the Dutch words, because a large number of Dutch people use the same words, but with pronunziations that are different from Flemish people in the northern part of Belgium. Sometimes there are even different words too.

[@hungariangiraffe6361]

@@martinmalenak366 you are not completely wrong. Hungarian is a Finno-Ugric language, and we are related to the Finnish and Estonian. The first known territories of the 7 Hungarian tribes (Nyék, Megyer, Kürtgyarmat, Tarján, Jenő, Kér, Keszi) are somewhere at the Ural Mountains, the border of Asia and Europe. However, scientists say that we are related to the Turks. So our language is Finno-Ugric, but we are descended from the Turks. Legends say that the Huns were our "brothers", but they went to Europe earlier. And about the name Orszagh, I think you wanted to write Országh, but I understand that you might don't have these weird letters as á, é, ö, ű. It's actually not that common, but sometimes you can hear it as a family name (not last name, because we write the name of our family for first, and our surname as second, like Országh Anna, and not Anna Országh). By the way, ország (without the h, Hungarian is a phonetic language, there are no silent letters except some old family names as this) means that country, like we call our homeland Magyarország (magyar=Hungarian), and lots of other countries are named with this logic, as Olaszország="Italiancountry", Franciaország="Frenchcountry", etc.

[@MaraMara89]

it would be the same with polish, we have word nauka which literally means science, but in broad term - not a name of school subject. As Hania said we have przyroda (nature) in elementary school and it is divided into same subject you named. When I was in elementary school in classes 1-3 it was named środowisko (environment), then 4-6 przyroda (nature) and then we had middle school with biology, chemistry etc XD

The name of the Hungarian trash can is K.U.K.A. comes from the reading of letters together. The acronym stood for Keller und Knappich Augsburg GMBH. This company produced a car in 1927 that chopped up garbage and took it away. Another patent thecompany is the transportation of garbage in containers of uniform size. On the car side, the K.U.K.A. there was an inscription.

There actually are a lot of words in polish that are similar to german. "Kartofel" would be a good example, because most popular equivalent for "potato" is "ziemniak" but some people, especially in western regions will call it "kartofel" which comes from german "Kartoffel"

The upper silesian dialect is very similar to German, we even use 'Ja to say Yes. '

[@MrSatelit28]

The languages are so live and ever evolving. For example, the word sugar in the standard Croatian language is "Šećer" (it sounds something like shecher) and comes from the Turkish word - Şeker. The northern part of Croatia often use the word "Cuker" which is loaned from German - Zucker. Southern part of Croatia (Dalmatia) use "Cukar" derived from Italian - Zucchero. But when you see all these words, they have the same origin, that is, they came trough medieval Latin from the Arabic word "Sukkar". 😁

It's not entirely true that German and Polish don't have any differences.

"Fucha" as "job" comes to mind, for example.

The videos where German and the other languages have nothing in common are actually forced by selection, because in those videos there are only Latin languages compared to German which is a Germanic language so of course all others are similar except German. Do that with all Germanic languages and it will be actually English that is the most different and German is super similar to most others. Of course East of Germany the Slavic language family starts which is the third big language family in Europe: Germanic, Latin, Slavic.

[@PiotrPilinko]

Except Korean and Hungarian all of these languages have a common, Proto-Indo-European, root. And a lot of different words have more in common than it looks at the first sight. Like English "queen" (wife of king / female ruler) and Polish "żona" (wife) came from the same PIE word *gwen - woman.

For science in Germany we say 'Wissenschaft' as for the research fields (like, microbiology is a science, astrophysics is a science, etc), but we don't have it as a school subject.

You can get a "kwitek" when you buy a "szlafrok" :) German has much fewer words of Polish origin, like "grenze" from "granica", "gurke" from "ogórek", "zeisig" from "czyżyk" or "stieglitz" from "szczygieł".

For the Belgian woman's question, rugby and American Football are two different sports. Not the same at all. American football was developed in North America (the Canadians play it, too, with slightly different rules). Rugby began in the UK. American football did evolve from rugby, but that was something like 150 years ago. Today they are not interchangeable.

Dude, As many of the European languages are Germanic, even the "French culture" is from Frankish.

Effeectively, all of our cultures are a mishmash of 7 or 8 Germanic tribes, wondering all over Europe, since centuries before Rome

The issue with "football" in the US is that we have (gridiron) football, (association) football = "soccer", and (rugby) football = "rugby". They're all different sports descended from the same basic sport. Had you had a Canadian or Australian, they'd also use soccer and rugby as they both have sports called football: Canadian football is similar to American gridiron football, and Australian (Rules) football is closer to rugby but a separate sport.

[@nightspicer]

also they have their own football in Ireland

[@MagsonDare]

I've always heard that the Brits had Association Football and Rugby Football and the nicknames of "soccers and ruggers" were a thing for a bit, but then rugby just started being called rugby without the football term being attached to it anymore, and so they then stopped using the soccer term in the 1970's or somesuch. Meanwhile across the pond in the US, the term "football" was now strongly associated to our own evolution of rugby (aka "American Football") and so we just never stopped using the soccer term that the Brits had gifted us back in the day ;-)

[@thevannmann]

In the states of NSW and QLD in Australia, the term "footy" (or football) more commonly refers to Rugby league football whilst the other states and territories use "footy" for Australian rules football. Then, if you're a diehard soccer fan, you'll call that sport "football".

In British English we say “lift” for “elevator”. I was surprised to hear that other Europeans say “lift” as well. There must be a common root.

[@PiotrPilinko]

Etymology is proto-germanic and related to "air" (German "Luft", original Old Norse "Lypta" - "to rise in the air").

[@ktipuss]

Other Europeans simply following British English usage. In Ukrainian it's "ліфт", and in Russian "лифт". No need to guess how those Cyrillic words are pronounced. And - wait for it! - good old Google translate describes "lift" (when used as a noun) as meaning in English: "a device incorporating a moving cable for carrying people, typically skiers, up or down a mountain". Obviously "Google Translate" ignoring the common description of a lift in other versions of English as "a platform or compartment housed in a shaft for raising and lowering people or things to different floors or levels", which Google translate ascribes to "elevator". So if English is not your first language, remember "Google Translate" might well be giving you just the American versions of English words.

the Hungarian word is complicated. if we modify the word or the sentence even a little, it will have a different meaning. like the gyakorlás - practice gyakorolni - exercise and there are times when the same word has different meanings. vár - castle vár(ni) - wait someone Hungarians are not tolerate seeing the same word in the same sentence. like a vár előtt várok - im waiting in front of castle (-ok is first-person singular) thats why they use a synonym. a kastély előtt várok - im waiting in front of castle (pronunciation of ly is j)
