@@eilisoneil7217 I'm Estonian, but well, a half of modern Estonian lands were (forcefully) ruled over by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, so I'd say that I'm qualified to talk about the topic. No, Livonian definitely wasn't the main language back then. From what I have read, the elite consisted of Baltic Germans who owned the land and rented it out to the peasants (on extremely unfair conditions) and Polish (and seldom Lithuanian) people who may have been the rulers, but had no regional power. The people under the commonwealth spoke whatever language was their mother tongue (Lithuanian, Estonian, Livonian, Polish etc), however, Livonian was not a language with that many speakers even back then. Unfortunately, the beautiful language has become extinct nowadays.

[@lukiux1000]

Technically it was Lithuanian-Poland Commonwealth, but actually it was Latvian because of stated reasons above. As Lithuanian I can say that we do not consider this reagion to have something in common with Lithuania besides the fact that it was incorporated during Commonwealth times. (And most of Lithuanian people does not even know this fact since it was not teached in school or just breathly mentioned).

Im Puertorican and I still havent been to the beach this year. Its actually funny how a lot of people dont go to the beach in winter cause its "too cold" and instead go to the mountains for the whole "winter experience", though its really like 70 to 60 degrees there.

[@AB-sm1qf]

It happened and failed. Didn’t have the entire Caribbean collective, it lacked the Latin Nations. I’d say it’s tough to do one without the Latin Caribbean taking part and one big problem is that those nations tend to have identity crisis or vehemently fight them (DR and PR especially. Cuba is a hot mess. Haiti is complicated and mostly seems nullified into no action). Without these it genuinely makes no sense.

@@thejompi I think he just tries to make that comparison more relatable and understandable for especially western audiences. He probably didn't mean any real offense there. lol. Also, being an American, Hawaii would probably be the first thing to come to mind for him when describing a scenario with overseas island territories that are considered tropical/recreational spots by the larger sovereign nations. To put things into better perspective, if he were a Chilean youtuber from Chile that covers geography topics instead, he'd probably find himself drawing comparisons of all the oversea islands with Eastern Island/Rapa Nui.

About 15 or 20 years ago my dad went to Aruba with his friend George from work and afterward said he wanted to live there and didnt want to go back home. He did say the plane landing was scary yet fun. When they were both snorkeling in waist deep water my dad was looking at the sea floor and saw yellow and black swim quickly past his goggles, as he looked around for his friend to tell him what he saw, George was already back on the beach yelling "Snake in the water!"
