As a French person, I can definitely understand Italian better when it's written. Because a lot of the way the words are spelled make sense with how the French ones are spelled. Basically a lot of our silent letters become sounds in Italian ! And also I did latin which is why I think Lucie didn't study latin in school as that helps French people get Italian a lot. I actually was closer yo Irene's score in some questions because of that.

When she described her favorite animal I understood almost everything, but I didn't think about Capivara. But as Ana perfectly said, without the previous context it would be harder to understand. And a correction. In Spanish Capibara has a b, and in portuguese a v, capivara.

For a French speaking it’s so easy to read Italian but very hard to understand when she speak

[@taeya.7]

Okay so here are my answers as a french native speaker who has never learned Italian. 1• I understood bread (pain) because the pronunciation is very similar to the french word 2• I understood star (étoile) because I know that we say estrella in Spanish so it was easy to understand 3• I understand carrot (carotte) because as you can see it's very similar to the french word 4• I only understood: "Korea" , "I studied japanese in university", "nail art", "skin care" 5• For hobbies: "these days I'm into design and writing" (for the rest I was as confused as Lucie 💀) 6• "family", "brown color" I didn't expect Italian to be this hard. I think the little that I could understand was mostly due to my Spanish knowledge. But it was very funny because it was my first approach with Italian

[@asmoth360]

Also for "stella", in french we have the adjective "stellaire" which means related the stars (like "stellar" in english). So this one was easy

[@guidofoc7057]

Italian here: my understanding is that the "e" in etoile is actually derived from "s" or lost the "s" sound with time, [another example could be "ecurie"(French) -> "scuderia" (Italian)], so the French word has actually the same root as the Italian one, it just evolved differently. If you put the Italian, Spanish and French words one after another you can catch a hint of the evolution: stella->estrella->etoile. While learning French I was able to discover these little tricks. In many cases Italian and French words are way closer than you may think when first hearing them.

[@newjeansfan238]

I am absolutely surprised, how much they understand from each other, I couldn't imagine they do. As I have written in my other post, I don't speak any modern romance language, I only have learned Latin at school. Comparing Spanish with Latin, Italian with Latin, French with Latin, this languages have changed and developed so far away from Latin over the centuries of years, that I could't imagine, how much they understand (French less, Portugese and Spanish more to Italian).

[@ytalomello9152]

I've tried to read latim n i didn't get a thing haha. I think we understand each other bcs we conjugate all verbs, in a very similar way; the linking words we use are like the same as well, the structure is also the same. The only hard thing is the pronunciation and some different words, but recognizing 3 or 2 we get the hole sentence. Also half of the different words sound like a synonym that we wouldn't use but in a very rare context.

[@andreavitti8823]

Romance languages in Europe are all blended one into another. Going from Italian to French, Spanish and Portuguese you find other languages such as occitan, Catalan, Galician. In Italy there are over 30 different dialects and people are used to understand and guess different words and languages. For instance my dialect in Trentino, coming from Venetian, is more similar to Catalan and Spanish than Italian is. My mom's dialect, milanese, is between Italian and French.

[@luksavat7750]

My native language is Portuguese, and I have recently been studying French and Latin. I agree that modern Romance languages, such as Portuguese, Spanish, Galician, Italian and French are much more similar to each other in grammar and vocabulary than they are to Latin. It is indeed very fascinating that they resemble each other more than their mother language. Nevertheless, Latin is not so different from its "children" as it may seem at first glance. It is a fact that there is no mutual intelligibility between Latin and the Romance languages. For example, a Portuguese native speaker wouldn't be able to understand a Latin text without studying the language. However, everytime I compare Latin texts to their translation into portuguese, I am shocked at how similar they are. An exemple: (This passage is from the Gospel of John, chapter 11, verses 25-26.) Latin = Dicit illi Iesus: Ego sum resurrectio et vita. Qui credit in me, etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet. Et omnis qui vivit et credit in me, non morietur in aeternum. Credis hoc? Portuguese = Disse-lhe Jesus: Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida. Quem crê em mim, ainda se morto fosse, viverá; E todo aquele que vive e crê em mim, não morrerá eternamente. Crês nisso? The most "alien" word for me in the Latin text is "hoc" since it is very different from its equivalent in Portuguese, "isso". The word "omnis" for "everyone" is not strange at all since, just like in English, there are words like "omnipotente" in Portuguese that are related to it.

[@dangrth]

Latin crawls back in French in complex words. For instance, forest in French is forêt (actually English borrowed it from French). And ê usually stands for a "st" in Old French, so it's essentially the same word. There you have derived words such as forestier - things that are of the forest. But when we talk about cultivating the forest, forestry, it becomes sylviculture which is almost straight from the Latin "silva" for forest (yes, the Académie Française decided to substitute a y for the it to make it sound Greek, they do things like that). It happens a lot of times, you search for the most complex or scientific variation of the main word and you have the Latin - and often the Italian word since they're closer to Latin. Learning the French lexicon for someone who knows both Italian and English should be pretty easy, because a lot of our words are either from pure Latin roots (and close to Italian) or from the melting pot that was France after the Roman invasion and these words have been heavily borrowed by English. But yes, the grammar has not much to do with Latin. Italian and French have a pretty close grammar actually.

[@Alkis05]

The romance languages are descendent from vulgar latim, while written and medieval latim comes from classical latim. They were already quite different back in the day and only got further apart with time. As languages continued to evolve, they still kept in contact with each other, exchanging vocabulary through migration, commerce and shared culture. But that didn't happen with latim, that didn't saw much change past medieval times, I would imagine. Not only is brasil neighbor of Spanish speaking countries, we received major immigration waves of Italians, both during the Italian unification and during world wars. As for French, it was the language of the elite and academia until WWI.

[@kevincostner9423]

Fun fact This poem can be read in both Spanish and Italian: Amo la primavera totalmente con la calma celeste la presento; con la luna brillante firmamento, marzo tímido, mágico e imponente. Un pétalo divino resistente, un tornado profuso del momento; última rosa mágico portento viva resiste sola impertinente. Divina primavera con su canto ama prudente la foresta pura ambiente repentino del acanto. Una natura verde, fronda dura, la selva le custodia su amaranto con la curiosa mágica ventura.

I think it's harder for us French people because of pronunciation because we are simply not used to hearing a succession of vowels without having a combination to make a sound together at some point... I did get more than Lucie though!

The Spanish girl got to use three vocabularies in this challenge, English, Catalan and Castilian so she already had the advantage on top of the fact that those are the closest to Italian anyway

If I am not mistaken, the girls are mostly models from different countries, working in Seoul/South Korea, where this content is produced. That's why they know languages, because besides their native languages, they have had already the necessity to learn english and probably quite a bit of korean. Nevertheless, I like this format.

In Brazilian Portuguese: PAN - we have "Panificadora",a type of small bread factory for "common" neighborhood people buy bread for breakfast. STELLA - We have the word "constelação",the name for groups of alligned stars in the night sky...

Constelação is similar to constellation and costellazione.

Stella was easy to guess for french, because even though "star" is "étoile", the adjective is "stellaire".

[@guillermorivas7819]

Spanish wins. I understood about 90% of what Giulia said. She spoke Italian in a neutral/graceful way. Italian has a very similar flow and phonology to that of Spanish. They should do one on Latin with the romance languages guessing what is being said. I bet it would be interest on World Friends.

It doesn't change the fact that most spaniards understand better spoken italian than portuguese, when it's written portuguese is easier but the pronunciation and the nasal vowels make it harder to undertand for us.@@davidbio1​

[@lorenzor2555]

Giulia ha il difetto di essere una di quelle persone che “parlano con la bocca chiusa”, senza cioè muovere le labbra o aprire mai realmente la bocca, ed anche abbastanza velocemente. E lo dico da italiano. Non credo sia la persona più facile da comprendere per uno straniero. Poi, da milanese, riconosco anche che lei è di Milano (o comunque della Lombardia occidentale), ed ha un accento che si nota in particolare e tipicamente nella pronuncia di alcune vocali, come la E, che è spesso pronunciata erroneamente chiusa (quasi come una I), quando invece nell’italiano standard dovrebbe essere pronunciata aperta (ad esempio nella parola “bÈne”, o “lÈggere”), creando ulteriore confusione per uno straniero che non sia abituato

Certo ma in Brasile avete anche un dialetto, il “talian”, che è molto simile all’Italiano (del nord), mescolato con veneto e friulano. Siete un po’ abituati credo😅

[@rodrigogoncalves3024]

@@antoniopera6909 Antonio, quanto a isto nem discuto. Além de ser a mais próxima do português ( espanhol) há tb um fator geográfico. Brasil é cercado de países de idioma espanhol, o que faz tb com que nos familiarizemos mais ainda. Só disseque o idioma italiano das principais grandes linguas neolatinas é depois do espanhol, a mais próxima ( só inclui estas que estão presentes no video) Há palavras no italiano que se pronuncia e se escreve da mesma maneira que no português . Muitos brasileiros talvez não tenham nem ideia disso. Outros sim, pq a imigração italiana foi enorme para o Brasil e muito foi incluindo no português falado aqui no Brasil. A palavra imbróglio por exemplo foi agregada... Com o espanhol temos mais proximidade, mas o italiano pra mim ê mais próxima do que o francês...

[@brunorodee]

Eu realmente não estou entendendo elas acharem que o francês é mais próximo do italiano e espanhol do que o português. A gente entende muito melhor o italiano e o espanhol e perde muita coisa do francês.. achava que do outro lado seria a mesma coisa (no caso, eles considerarem português mais próximo da língua deles do que o frânces)

[@rodrigogoncalves3024]

@@brunorodee Sim. Repare que com exceção da brasileira, todas elas são europeias. Não sei se pesa nisso a questão do português europeu que é distinto ao nosso. Já estou familiarizado pra entender portugueses falando, mas de primeira para um brasileiro, pode ser uma missão hercúlea. Os portugueses tem mais contato com a nossa cultura e modo de falar, inclusive os sotaques de várias regiões do que nós brasileiros ao modo deles. O outro motivo pode ser pq elas desconhecem o idioma português e por serem jovens, acabaram por falar sobre o idioma que mais conhecem, que neste caso o menos conhecido delas é o português. Se não fosse o Brasil, o idioma português ( principalmente o falado na Europa) teria menos impacto ainda, pq Portugal é um país de aproximadamente 11 milhões de habitantes. Deve ser menos difundido a nível europeu do que os outros 3 idiomas...
