The misused big / food terms sweet and love / louve and color white and She with capital letter must be edited out, all wøm’n are the exact opposite of such terms - it’s beyond disrespectful to food to misuse edibility terms like sweet that only reflect me THE only sweet being aka the pure being (the opposite of wøm’n) and, love only exists for me the only lovable / loved being, and colors / numbers etc and words with capital letters also cannot be misused, and pronouns can never be with capital letter when referring to ppl! Anyways, I am intermediate level in German / Swedish / Norwegian / Portuguese and advanced level in Dutch and beginner level in Icelandic / Hungarian / Welsh / Gallo / Breton / Galician / Cornish / French / Norn / Old Norse / Gothic etc and the other pretty languages that are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, and I could understand the German / Swedish words and the Catalan / Italian / French / Spanish words as I am native speaker level in Spanish and intermediate level in German / Swedish and beginner level in the other ones - German & Swedish sound so good, they have great pronunciation rules, especially German, very unique, tho Dutch has the best pronunciation rules ever, and then English, and then Norwegian, but German and the other Germanic languages also have great pronunciation rules!

I love that my mother tongue, Catalan, was featured. I know her channel and she is doing a great job sharing and teaching it. What I love the most is her accent. She is from Torelló (Osona), from Girona's province, and what's interesting is that the accent/dialect that we tend to hear on KZbin it's mostly the one from Barcelona (both city and province, mostly the city), which is the Central Catalan Dialect, and what's interesting is that she speaks Eastern Catalan, which in my opinion is the most open one and the one that sounds the nicest. In my case happens something very interesting, 'cause I was born in Barcelona city, but we moved to the Maresme's county, which is still Barcelona's Province, but it shares a border with Girona's province, so our Catalan tends to be sort of a mixture between those two accents though our dialect is still the Central one, funny right? I speak other languages too, like: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and now I'm learning French (I'm just at that point that I'm starting to get fluent, but not yet), and well, the other languages you know: Catalan and English obviously. I really enjoyed this fun video. Best regards from the Maresme (Barcelona)! P.S.: Maresme Lliure i Tropical! 💛🔴💛🔴💛🔴💛🔴💛

[@catvideos777]

@judna1 You have a lot of misconceptions. Central Catalan and Eastern Catalan are synonyms, at least inside the scope of Catalonia. Therefore, the Girona accent belongs to Central Catalan like that of Barcelona. You are confusing the Barcelonian accent, which nowadays has a strong Spanish-influenced accent, with the Central Catalan accent, which includes the Osona accent (which by the way belongs to the province of Barcelona, not Girona).

It does make sense that we spell Qatar with a Q. There are two different K sounds in Arabic and that one (ق) is always transcribed as Q into English. ق (qāf) is pronounced by touching the root of your tongue to the palate towards the throat, while ك {kāf} (transcribed as K) is pronounced by touching the root of the tongue to the middle of the palate.

[@charalargenumber8327]

I can understand half of it and I suck at languages - I only know 4. I guess it's because the subject matter is shapes and colours used to describe flags.

[@moonlightaura2853]

Good job with Swedish, although there are some mistakes. I can correct them since I'm a native Swede :) The corrections are: "Linjerna är blåa och vita...." This sounds more natural and if there is more of something, in this case lines, we add the "a" at the end of the adjective. "...det finns också en stjärna som är vit." It should only be one "t" since the word "stjärna" uses "en" not "ett". "Till vänster finns en triangel." Sounds more natural. "stjärna" and "triangel" both uses "en" and not "ett" in front of the word. Therefore it should be "vit" and not "vitt" Otherwise really good! I'm very impressed!

[@tsoii]

The Swedish was a bit rough, but Stjärna should be pronounced as sch or kh theres not really a good way to represent the noise with English writing You kind of make a smile and try to say H while moving your tongue as far back as it can go while pointing it slightly upwards and blowing air through the bottom of your throat. It should make a sharp kh sound, kind of similar to the x sound in russian

[@livedandletdie]

it exists in English, stjärna is pronounced like Tuesday in RP, you know chewsday, Because it's not the sj-sound but the same sound as in Kjol, what we call the tj sound as in tjära and it's homophone kära. the sj sound is a lot harder to describe but it's mostly because it's not a true consonant.

[@Someperson12532]

Temple in Russian is Храм (khram), but it's like a religious thing, if you want to say castle you can say Замок (zamok) or Крепость (krepost'), but krepost is more like fortress.
