Finno-Ugric languages comparison (basic words)

In this video you will see a comparison of all Finno-Ugric languages - Saami, Finnish, Estonian, Karelian, Livonian, Hungarian, Komi, Udmurt and others. They are presented in comparison with the their older word ancestors for understanding the roots of words.
If you'll write in the comments I will make a continuation with other topics for you.
Enjoy!

Az emlő szó innen ered ha jól tudom

[@kevinszabo6936]

@@radir1657 Az emlő a ma már csak nyelvjárásokban elő forduló emik (tejet szop) igéből származik. Ebből jön a csecsemő szó is (csecs+emő). Ez egy ősnyelvi szó finnül imee-szop, imeä-szopni, az ősnyelvre visszakövetkeztet alak jime vagy jeme. Az ősnyelvi 'emä' szó származékai a magyarban az Emese név és az emse (anya disznó). A szó finn megfelelői az emä és az emo a mai nyelvben borjas állatot jelent, de a költői nyelvben megmaradt az eredeti jelentése. Az anya szintén protouráli, vele azonos származású az anyós és az ángy (sógornő, nyelvjárásokban). Az ősnyelvben an'a (nem tudok lágyítójeles n-t írni), a finnben nem maradt megfelelője más rokon nyelvekben megfelelői jelenthetnek anyát, nagynénit, sógornőt, női örököst, nem lehet tudni mi volt az eredeti jelentés. És a vepsze területen megjelenő anya szó szinte biztos, hogy hiba.

That is the cruel reality of time. Looking at the map, it is quite clear that peoples related to ours inhabited practically all of western Russia once upon a time. Now only islands remain. Many groups of people related to us probably already disappeared long ago.

Hungarian has changed a lot in the last few centuries. There was a monk in the 13th century called Julianus barát, who set out to the East to look for the ancient Hungarian motherland. At his destination, thousands of kilometers from Hungary, he found people whom he could still communicate with in his language, even though Hungarians settled in the Carpathian basin more than 350 years before that. After that the Hungarian language was neglected and in the 18th-19th century they "had to" reconstruct it a little because it was considered somehow "outdated and simple". This reconstruction was the "language renewal" that created the Hungarian language that exists today

It changed soooo much that we can still rather well understand text written in Hungarian in the XIII century. Whereas a modern English speaker has great difficulty to understand original Shakespeare text from the XVII. century. So, no Hungarian changed very little, it is one of the most conservative languages that maintain its ancient connections. Despite all the theories Hungarian might be the missing/lost link between several agglutinative languages (as it is obviously very distant from Finnic langauges). Fun fact: father in both Korean and Hungarian is apa.

The story of Hungarians is such an odd one. Our closest relatives linguistically are those farthest geographically. There's a nascent theory among linguists that a Finnic / Ugro-Samoyedic division could be more accurate than the previously thought Samoyedic / Finno-Ugric division which I believe to be true and this video seems to support it.

Karelian/Finnish here. I was born in North Karelia in Finland where basically everyone spoke finnish but most of the people living here have an Karelian accent, where we replace words like "minä" with "mie" (Like it's in the video) and "ihminen" is "ihmine" for me. The only words I wasn't aware of in the Karelian language were "Mečča" and "Kizata" (Kizata sounds like Kisata in finnish which means compete). So basically I would say that I have a medium Karelian accent where I mostly say "Mie" and "Hyö" instead of the Finnish words. But some people in my family that have always lived in the Karelian speaking regions have really thick karelian accent, and sometimes they could be mistaken to actual Karelians. But yeah personally I can understand Karelian farelly well thanks to the accent, but I could not speak fluent Karelian if i tried to.

Because the Hungarian natural homeland is Greater Hungary even if practically nobody but crazy nationalists even dream about such ever existing.

Regarding Sami, a large part of the language is of unknown origin, somewhere between a third and a half. Linguists believe that these are remnants of languages ​​that were spoken in Europe before the Indo-European languages ​​took over. Remains of this/these languages ​​are also found in Norwegian. I would be very surprised if such remnants are not also found in Finnish.

Many finnish words can´t be traced back to known languages, Sami happened to be here before finns and took most of those substrate words and sometimes loaned them into finnish language.

as a Sámi speaker, the words he chose for sámi caught me a bit off gaurd because i assumed he ment play as in children playing, but instead he used the words "Duhkkoraddat" and "čuojahit". "Duhkkoraddat" means to play with toys, this word is an extension for the word for toy "Duhkoraš", the word i usually use when refering to play is "stoahkat" which i feel would fit better. The second word "čuojahit" means to play an instrument or music. im not entirerly sure what kind of play they were refering to though.

You feel isolated as a Hungarian and it is really very sad but nothing to do about it. It is your ancestor´s fault. Nowadays Hungary, Finland and Estland as known were people of the same tribe with the same language for ca 1000 years ago. But they decided to emigrate from their motherland. One group of them settled in the Central Europe (Hungary) and one group of them in the North of Europe (Finland and Estland). Unfortunately during the last 1000 years up today the language changed so much that Hungarians and Finns cannot communicate at all.

I speak finnish with an Oulu dialect augmented by some Pori dialect now. I can give some insight by telling that we can make our lives easier for ourselves, but sometimes we don't. For example when we're talking about being inside a house, the word with the preposition is "talossa" (inside a house = sisällä talossa). In Oulu we like to remove double consonants at times so that talking would be easier which results in it becoming: "talosa". Okay that's logical. But then we can make our conversations harder (but much more amusing) by adding vocals! For example the word "kolme" (three) in the video. In Oulu we say: "kolome". Or the words "nälkä" (hunger) or "helvetti" (hell), we make 'em go "näläkä" and "helevetti" 😂 Oh and i didn't mention Pori dialect yet! Here we have stuff like removing letters from the ends of words or replacing vocals with other vocals! Here's a common phrase in Pori: "Tul tän näi ny siält!" (Come over here from there now!). Okay here's how it goes in normal finnish: "Tule tänne näin nyt sieltä." Still got a long way to learn "porinese" (😂), the people in here constantly tell me: "Don't learn this garbage!" 🤣 But hey!

I am convinced that some of those words don't refer to the same referent in the various languages. I think (I know) that in different languages the mental and visual representation of what a word stands for in one language is not the same as what it is in a foreign language translation and what it means to speakers of that other language. In other words, as spoken language developed in each tribe, the things they assigned words to are in many cases not physically or even conceptually the things what it meant in the first language. In other words, the translation of the word "head" might refer to forehead in the other language.

It is therefore wrong to call the Sami Siberian. The Sami have more than 90% common genetic material with Norwegians. This is according to historian and gene researcher Sturla Ellingvåg, who has the channel Viking Stories. The Sami are genetic Europeans, and Sami religion has great similarities with the old Norse religion. Among the Vikings there were also natural healers, and there still are today among Norwegians.

Third - as a Hungarian it hurts a little bit, that the territority of the language remains between the borders of Hungary - which isn't true in the reality. We can see the simplification is not the cause by Finland, and the lot of minority in Russia. You cared about them, but not the hungarian minorities in the Carpathian Basin. I don't want to be polithical, reversionist etc about it, it's not my intention, but i saw on every other "languistic maps" around the internet - they did mark atleast Szekler's land (Székely-föld, Erdély) which is in Transylvania - but there are people, who speaks hungarian and are hungarian around the borders in Serbia, Ukraine, Slovakia etc. Expecially by examining languages, these minorities are very important - because they use different words in comparison to the motherland, and stand for a variety within the hungarian language. What was the cause? I did not understand. Fourth - It made me a little bit sad, how different our language is within her family. So lonely.... Fifth - For me, it wasn't clear, when did you use more word for one language. By "they" you wrote for the finnish "he,ne" but not "ő, ők" for hungarian. Did you mean only the plural form? Because for singular third (S/3) in nominativ we use "ő", but in plural (T/3) in nominativ we use "ők". Same by nouns, for example "dog" we have two different word "kutya" and "eb". We use "kutya" almost every time, and nobody use "eb" in speaking, but the law and formal papers use this term - so it is in use too.

[@saarinen_east5618]

Oh wow, you take everything too personally... Let me start by saying that English is not my native language either, so it's okay! I did not have a goal to mark ALL national minorities on the map (with the same success it was possible to repaint part of Hungary a different color, because Germans might live there). Finns also came to these comments and cursed that I singled out part of GREAT FINLAND as Karelian. Complete nonsense. I do not want to disparage the Hungarians of the Carpathian Mountains and other places where they live, but this is not a political map, but a linguistic one and was created only out of the interest of determining how much the Finno-Ugric languages can differ. And of course, every language has synonyms, and sometimes TOO MUCH of them. Then I had to write 4 different words for "dog" in Karelian. But the problem turns out to be that I DO NOT KNOW all of them and not all of them are in popular dictionaries. Now you wrote to me about this word and I’m glad, now I know that in the Hungarian language there is also an unofficial name for a dog! Thank you very much! Yes, I am a linguist, but the Finno-Ugric language is not my specialty, I only studied the Karelian language from the entire spectrum of these languages. However, this does not diminish my interest in these languages. Including Hungarian! P.S. In the end, just imagine what the Ukrainians would say if I painted part of Ukraine in Hungarian color :) Don’t be upset, but it just so happens in history that the Hungarians have their own state, but the Mansi do not, so I had to mark them out to write their word.

@@saarinen_east5618 thank you for the answer! I really aprecciate it. "It isn't a political map, it's a linguistic map." Which is my point too. Political map shows us borders, which are determined by wars and contacts, but linguistic maps (have to) show(s) us where the people, who speak the exact language live. Yes, within Hungary lives lot of minorities, like hungarian germans - in hungarian "sváb, svábok", or "tót, tótok" who are speaking a variety of slavic languages (i'm not sure, but maybe slovakian) in the middle of the country. I hear them every day on the bus, they're speaking it fluently, but if there's a word, they don't know at the moment, they put the hungarian word in the middle of the sentence - sometimes it messes up my mind listening to them unwillingly :D So, I'm not "mad" or upset about not showing every minority in every country which official language belong to the ural/finno-ugric family. My point is, showing every population on the map, who speaks the marked language. I would be the last person, who's getting upset about marking "germans" (german speaking people) in Hungary on a map, which illustrate the german-language family. Because i respect these people to, my family has members of them. I don't know anything about the tension between Karelians (i hope i write it well, sorry if not!!) and the Finnish (Great-Finnland), but i think you have to determine these places, because it's not about borders, but languages. I don't understand, what you meant by the Ukrainians. Why would it be offensive marking the hungarian speaking minorities in the country? It doesn't mean automaticly that Hungary want to take these places from the Ukraine.

Meanwhile, according to the established norm, the Karelian language is declared as a language and exists even in Finland itself. As for the Ukrainians, it is not customary among Ukrainians to talk about national minorities; during the war, they would like to have a single country without divisions into nationalities. The other day, one of the ministers said that there are no Russians in Ukraine and therefore they legally do not have any rights :'D Well, in the end, I have experience communicating with Ukrainians on the Internet, they would definitely be unhappy. However, that is not why I did not indicate Hungarians there but simply because I indicated the Hungarian language within the borders of Hungary. If I make another map I will do it as you said with a minority in Slovakia and Ukraine, no doubt about it! Thank you too for your comments btw!

As Middle-Finland Finnish I sometimes use "toi" to mention someone somewhere. Usually "sä" is the way of you. Mettä is my way to say the forest but some mehtä -h -letter there can be hear. The word ihminen, human, I can hear some "-e" - letter on my spoken way almost like ihmeine. Ihmeinen would be translated as something full of miracles.

[@boomerix]

In Hungarian only very primitive words, as in from hunter gatherer times have Uralic roots. Things that are body parts, nature, family etc. The somewhat more advanced words for tools, farming, animal husbandry etc. is from the nomadic stage and are mostly of old Turkic and Iranian origin, since those were the nomad groups the Hungarians were most in contact with during that time. More modern words which came into the language the last 1000 years are of Latin, Slavic, German and modern Turkish origin. You can see this development even now as the most modern 21st century words entering the Hungarian vocabulary are of English origin. Sometimes for one English word there are up to 7 Hungarian words meaning the same thing, but each having it's origin from another language group that influenced Hungarian. This makes Hungarian vocabulary not only considerably larger compared to many Indo-European languages, but also makes Hungarian poetry quite unique and hard to explain. While all the words mean the same they slightly "feel" different. Meaning you can more precisely describe feelings in text which is impossible to translate, since even if you try to explain it, it's just not the same as instantly understanding that this word for red is normal and the other word also meaning red is intense.

It’s difficult with lumping Sámi pronunciation into even two since there are so many different types & a lot of them are close to indecipherable from one another (especially on paper, but also in person). For example, Inari is quite different from the more far reaching Northern Sámi. If I went to Kautokeino in Norway & spoke Inari to people, no one would have any idea what I was saying.

[@jozsefvadon3086]

The common origin of Hungarian and the other Finno-Ugric languages is very old, dating back to the Mesolithic. 12,000 years ago, with the end of the ice ages, the ice boundary stretched further north and east. Some of the Central European hunting tribes remained in place (ancestors of the Hungarians), while others followed the migration of prey animals and moved with them to the north and northeast and populated those areas. Due to the common origin of the language, there are similarities in the basic words, but at the same time, due to the separation that took place 10,000 years ago, there are so few word similarities. Note, which also belongs here: not the IX. "occupiers" arriving in the 19th century brought the language to the Carpathian basin. They were a small, Turkish-speaking, warrior ruling class. They reorganized the territory of the Avar empire. They founded a kingdom. The official language became Latin.

[@Aloisio799]

Why talk nonsense. The Hungarians came to their place already in historical times, there is a lot of evidence. Those tribes that lived in Europe during the Ice Age have practically nothing in common with the current European population. Very small contribution, most of all in Western Europe. The Finno-Ugric languages once formed (a very long time ago) the same community as the Turkic and Mongolian languages. After the separation, everyone went their own way. And when moving to the West, the Finns mixed with the europeoid population, so the Hungarians are now all Europeoids, and the rest of the Finno-Ugric peoples have Mongoloid features.

[@jozsefvadon3086]

@@Aloisio799 Dear unbeliever. Consider the following scientifically based findings. 1./ The Iron Age population of Europe consists of three genetic components: western hunter-gatherer (35% in Estonia), neolithic farmer (90% in Sardinia) and bronze age yamnaya (55% in Norway). In Europe, the hunting ancestors approx. 15-20% on average. This is a significant proportion. 2./ The genome of the occupying "Hungarians" is most closely related to the Bashkirs living today. The Bashkirs live exactly where the conquering "Hungarians" came from. 3./ The genetics of the occupying "Hungarians" came from 3 peoples: Finno-Ugric-speaking 40%, Iranian-speaking Sarmatians 40%, Turkish-speaking Huns 20%. 4./ The 1-1.5 million people living in the Carpathian Basin are 99% genetically European. At that time, the occupying "Hungarians" arrived, numbering 50-100 thousand people. The arrivals are made up of tribes of different ethnicities and speaking different languages. Their military power was great, but they were a mixed company and they were a significant minority in the Carpathian Basin. They also carried 90% European genes, only the Huns partially had Asian genes. So think carefully about who are the ancestors of the Hungarians and who originally spoke the Hungarian language in the Carpathian Basin. ​

[@Aloisio799]

@@jozsefvadon3086 bro, why are you listing these haplogroups to me? I know this topic, there is too much to write here. I wrote to you that the arrival of the Hungarians in the 10th century is historically documented. The Hungarians came from where their relatives now remain. The family is called the Ural family, do you understand why it is called that?

[@Aloisio799]

@@jozsefvadon3086 Also, when some people come somewhere and the language is replaced with little contribution to the local population from the newcomers, this is called the replacement of elites. Some of this can be traced back to William the Conqueror in English. English has adopted many French words into its vocabulary. The Turkic-speaking peoples of Europe are now the local population who have adopted the language of the aliens. The Volga Bulgars gave their name to the local Slavic population. Same with the Hungarians. A small group of Ugric herders disappeared into the local population, but gave their name and language.

[@jozsefvadon3086]

@@Aloisio799 I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that in the 10th century a relatively small military force came to the Carpathian basin called "Hungarian tribes". The Scythians, Celts, Romans, Sarmatians, Huns, Longobards, Gepids, Bulgarians and Avars also came to the Carpathian basin earlier. Their arrival is also well documented. So Árpád's "Hungarian" tribes are just as related to the Hungarians living today as all the other peoples. Árpád's tribes came from the Eastern European steppe, not the Hungarian people. Hungarians are not genetically related to the peoples living next to the Urals. And the Uralic linguistic kinship is much more distant than the distance between the Norwegian and Bengali languages. All this sheds more light on the facts than the statement that the Hungarians came from the Urals in the 10th century.
