Thank you so much for doing this. I found it fascinating.

You made a small mistake in Eastern Slavic languages about word goat. You placed masculine version козёл (koziol or kozel), but feminine коза (koza) as a Ukrainian and Belarusian one. In fact, all our languages have the same masculine-feminine pair. Russian: козёл - коза (koziol - koza), Belarusian: казёл - каза (kazioł - kaza, pronounced just as in Russian), Ukrainian: козел - коза (kozel - koza), and Ukrainian (especially Western versions) also has especially masculine version цап (tsap) - a loanword from Romania Same mistake you've made about South Slavic languages as the maculine form "jarac" and feminine "koza" are the same among the whole Serbo-Croatian language territory. Samely, word "medved/medvjed" is universal for all Serbo-Croatian, and "snositi is something like the verb "to bring" or "to bear", it may be a translators bug

[@genala792]

I would also add that in this video both Ukrainian words for "dog" and "cat" are for male animals - кiт (kit) and пес (pes). However, female names and general names of these animals are different: кішка (kishka) - cat. Also собака (sobaka) - dog.

[@frankgrey6797]

I would also add here, that the cow is common for germanic and slavic languages: kuh, caw and korova is the same Indo-European word.

[@Filip_Rovenski]

@@frankgrey6797 It might be, but I really doubt this one. Slavic korova/krova/krava date back to Proto-Balto-Slavic *korva. Many modern linguists connect it to Proto-Celtic *karvos (deer) and this way the closest word in Germanic languages for it is "Horn" which goes from the same Indo-European root. On opposite, Germanic "Cow" and its relatives are supposed to have originated from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws. However it has some descendants in Slavic languages too: it is related to Russian говядина (goviadina - beef, originates from archaic goviada - a cattle raised specifically for meat) and Serbo-Croatian govedo (cattle of unspecified sex).

Interesting idea but there's important element of gender (or synonyms) missing here as metioned by previous commentators. For some languages you give a male variant for others - female which make it sound like those languages use different words when in fact they use the same e.g kot (male cat) and koshka(female cat): kozel (male goat) and koza (female goat)

[@niki6969.]

"akula" is a borrowing from Scandinavian. therefore, it was also worth marking green. kot and koshka it's the same word that is spelled differently for different genders. A koska is a female cat. Kot - male. therefore, Russian, Czech, Belarusian and Bulgarian should be marked in blue. the dog also. a sobaka is a female dog. the pios is male.

Nice, but here are some mistakes for Croatian: - Goat is koza like in other balkan languages, jarac means a male goat but we usually say koza when refering to the species. - Bear is medvjed. Snositi is a werb, and it means to bear something, like bearing a grudge, so you probably got the werb instead of the noun when you translated it. - A rabbit is kunić, while the term zec refers to a wild hare

Slovak word for cat is "mačka". Or eventually "kocúr" ("kocour" in Czech) if you want to specify male cat. The word "kat" exists in Slovak too, but with a slightly different meaning -> executioner (or hangman). And small diacritic correction for the word bear - it is medveď, not medved.

[@larsw8776]

The usual Spanish word for dog is "perro", in Catalan it is "gos". The German word "Geiß" is more of a term for a female, more or less goat-like animal. The normal word is "Ziege", which I believe could be related to Spanish "cabra", French "chèvre" etc. The German word for "rabbit" is "Kaninchen". German "Hase" means "hare". Another French word for "hare" is "lièvre", which I assume could be related to Romanian "iepure". Russian "kotka" is the same etymon as other slavic instances of "kot" and therefore does not warrant a different color. Spanisch "pájaro" and Romanian "pasare" are surely related, going back to Latin "passer".

[@juliap.5375]

Kot in Russian is "male cat". Koshka - "female cat". Also exist variations, e.g. kissa like in Finnish (undefined cat, word mainly used only by kids). Same with goat, kozel in Russian is male goat, Koza - female goat. Dog (sobaka and pes)- have equal usage, lyagushka and zhaba also have same equal usage, but actually lyagushka is frog, while zhaba is toad (in a lot languages there are no own description for frogs, they all call that animals as toads). I bet in video a lot of such mistakes :/

[@brittakriep2938]

The word Geiß is used by speakers of the , Upper German dialect group ' , Bavarian/Austrian and Swabian/Allemannic as description of the annimal type, If a male annimal is realy meant , then correctly Gaisbock , or only Bock is used. But to describe : I have seen a Herde ( horde?) of goats , we dialect speakers say, that we have seen Geißen.

Turtle : Kaplumbağa - Tosbağa , Mouse : Fare - Sıçan , Deer : Geyik - Karaca - meral /maral (female deer in Mongolian but a Turkish girl name now) , Cow : İnek - Sığır , Dog : Köpek - İt ... first names are İstanbul / official Turkish . Second names are Anatolian Turkish /informal/ Turkic and so similiar to all Turkic languages.

[@foivosarvanitis776]

@@dimash6696 the animals you mentioned in Greek are called: Turtle=Helóna, Mouse=Pondíki or Aruréos, Deer=Eláfi or Zarkádhi Cow=Ağeláda Dog=Skýlos Greek is pretty much the same all around Greece, so it's uncommon for people to call them something else, except maybe for people who live in the far away villages

[@dimash6696]

@@foivosarvanitis776 There are some differences between two names. I just learned they have differences. 😅 Turtle: According to a Turk's answer, tosbağa has a bigger shell; kaplumbağa has a flatter shell. tosbağa is compound word, Тасбақа - Tasbaqa) Cow : Sığır (male - female cow) - İnek (female cow, old Turkic and similar to Mongolian ünigen but there is no this word in Kazakh. Only Сиыр - Siır like Sığır) Mouse : Sıçan (Turkic, Тышқан - Tışgan) is so much bigger than a Fare (Arabic). Dog : Köpek - İt (both are Turkic but İt is rude word and insult in two languages, too. We prefer Köpek) Istanbul Turkish was chosen as the modern common Turkish by Turkish language society. We speak this Turkish but elders, Yoruks and villagers use old words. We still have many popular Arabic Persian words but i love Turkic words. My family Ankaralian, my grandmother used to say pişkir (Persian) for towel we use havlu (Turkish). My father prefer tosbağa to kaplumbağa. Potatoes is patates in Turkish, kompül in my village. etc.. Sometimes when i visit my village, i use those native or Turkic words.. Turkish people living Turkey have own words with Standart Turkish.

that kopek and kopek baligi is like in slavic languages pes and morski pes

[@graywhite1529]

In relation to slavic languages the comparison in many cases is incorrect as the vid uses the name of the animals in different languages in different genders, hence the names differ

In Lusatian (Slavic language in eastern Germany), I strongly doubt that "kočka" is a shark and "žaba" is a goat. I believe, that "kočka" is a cat and "žaba" is a frog, just like in other related Slavic languages. The mistakes in Slovakian and Croatian were already mentioned.

[@wckvn]

You guys blindly translated a bunch of stuff without realizing that Slavic languages have two versions of some animals... feminine and masculine... Like in Russian, Koshka is a female cate... just like in Polish, Kotka... but a male cate is still KOT. Same with the goat... you used a female version for all Slavic countries, like KOZA... but Kozel for Russian... it is Koza as a female goat for all Slavic countries, and KOZEL (or KOZJOL) for a male goat. By the way, Slavik Akula came from old Scandinavic Harkal... like in the Icelandic language... they are 100% related. Current Germanic Hai is also related to Harkal. The bear in Croatian is "medvjed" as in pretty much the rest of the Slavic countries. That means "knows about honey"... what you used is the actual verb "to bear" or "to carry." The word dog... yeah... in Russian and Bulgarian, "Sobaka" is a word that came from proto Turk language and usually is referred to a female dog... but both languages still have the words "pes" or "pios" (or older psina) that is referred to a male dog, which is 100% slavic. Zhaba in Russian means the toad, which is a big frog... I won't bother with the rabbit... because in all Slavic languages, there is a mix-up between the rabbit and hare... But Zajac exists in pretty much all Slavic languages and usually means hare or wild rabbit... meanwhile, a domesticated rabbit can be called krolik or trus or whatever.

In ROMANIA for the EAGLE you should use ACVILA !

[@gheorghitaalsunculitei9146]

Let's be fair,who uses this term. Go on the street with a eagle picture and ask people what animal is it, they will all say vultur. Acvilă is just a fancy way to say it.

In romanian "iepure" means "hare" not "rabbit". there was no word for "rabbit" because historically there weren't rabbbits around :)

[@brittakriep2938]

Also many germans confuse Hase / Hare with Kaninchen/ rabbit. Either because wild rabbits don' t exist in all german regions, or because the Kanninchen is sometimes also called , Stallhase ' ( stable hare). But a ,Dachhase' ( roof hare) is a cat. In poor times many people ate cats, and claimed, they have eaten a rabbit or hare.

According to statistics, no one speaks the Gagauz language anymore. All Gagauzians were Russified during the Soviet period. Gagauz is a dead language and I don't see why it was necessary to be present here, given that many other minority languages, but still spoken, are missing.

Okay, that wrong at least for Russian. At first most animal on Russian have different names drpends if it's male or female. Same for Belarusian and Ukrainian. For example goat Kozel is a male goat Koza is a female goat Cat: Koshka is a female Cat Kot is a male Cat Dog: It can be Sobaka it can be Pes depends on a sentence, it synonimus. Frog: It can be lyagushka it can be zhaba. Depends on the type of frog. That's only the those that I remembered. I mean if it wrong almost in 80% of cases in one language I know well, it ptobably as accurate for the other languages as well.

there is a mistake about the rabbit. kanin in scandinavia. you had hase in germany that is not correct. hase is another animal that looks similar but has longer ears and legs. germans say kaninchen to the animal that is depicted.

Some people in Germany say , Stallhase '/ stable hare to Kanninchen/ rabbit, perhaps this causes the mistake.
