I will start! Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos - Spanish - Write this phrase in your language!! :D

[@riversnake6548]

My languages are Spanish and English lol.

[@veronikasimova327]

Co je důležité, je očím neviditelné. Czech! :)

[@a.g.styles3500]

L' essenziale è invisibile agli occhi.

[@bogdanyaremkiv4634]

Найважливіше є невидимим для очей. Ucraniano:)

[@hoangkimviet8545]

"Điều quan trọng không thể thấy được" - Vietnamese.

What I love about these comparisons, is that language has the beauty of saying things in concept, while the interpretation can be free. It's not wrong to do so, as long as the message is clear. It's like the same flower blossoming differently everywhere. Just lovely.

2:00 it's interesting to me how in italian use ricord or record but english uses remember. Looking at the etymology, remember comes from re- memor, meaning something like mindful. Very interesting.

[@miriamiraci6167]

Literally, "Bring back to memory", while ricordare is from re- cuerda, "Bring back to the heart", because Latins thought the mind was in the heart

[@-cirad-]

That’s really interesting, entertaining and well presented. I hope you will do some more comparisons.

[@eeeee323]

Yes!!!! Very well presented! This might have taken him a lot of time 💜

[@julbombning4204]

I love your channel 心! I’m learning Spanish right now and I have come to love linguistics as a consequence of it!

[@pablobordon4121]

The spanish. (Other way to say the same). 1. (Todos) Los mayores primero fueron niños, (pero) pocos lo recuerdan. 2. Lo que embellece al desierto, es que dondequiera esconde un pozo. 3. Debo soportar dos o tres orugas, si deseo conocer (a) las mariposas. 4. Cuando el misterio es (muy/demasiado) abrumador, uno no osa desobedecer. 5. Si logras juzgarte bien, (a ti mismo) entonces efectivamente eres (un hombre) sabio. 6. Caminando recto, nadie puede ir muy lejos. *You dont need use the words into the ()*

That's just amazing , little tips : think about readability when choosing backgrounds especially with texts , sometimes it was hard to read. Thanks again ❤️

[@tanpopo03]

This was so interesting! Thanks for putting in so much effort! If I can make a suggestion though: Always include the original sentence on screen when comparing the translations, even if you can't say much about it/read it out loud. To viewers who understand (some) French the comparison would have been even more interesting this way. But I still enjoyed this a lot!

[@nicolasm9391]

Great video man, really nice content

[@TheLanguageWolf]

Thank you :D

[@braulioplaza6243]

This is really interesting! You should make more videos like this.

[@sophiesharbour]

German "Erwachsenen" is the same as in English. It contains wachsen=to grow, erwachsen=grown up to final/adult size. "Erwachsenen" is the Substantive Plural.

[@MrBegliocchi]

8:05 In qualche parte does not literally mean in any place in italian. It means in some place or somewhere. Qualsiasi means any.

[@sandrotche7]

gracias por ele video! estoy aprendiendo alemán y estas comparaciones me ayudaram a aprender palabras nuevas. Obrigado!

[@blancasorianoalonso5723]

Quite interesting!

[@cosettapessa6417]

Il Principino would be the diminutive in italian

[@mihanich]

German also failed to update it's orthography to correspond it's phonology. A common sound in German, "š" is written with three letters "sch", while another common sound, "x", is written with two letters "ch". It also loves double consonants for some reason: "kann", "Mann", "Schmetterling" etc

[@oneirophobia321]

The double consonants signal that the vouwel in front of them is pronounced shorter.

[@zary_zare]

es ist eine andere Sprache. Das "x" hat glaub ich eine andere Aussprache als bei euch

[@Warriorcats64]

Try this again with something Slavic at some point.

[@brittakriep2938]

English man, can be in german Mann or Mensch ( human).

[@miguelm2055]

Nö. Mensch is human... So, male and female. Man is male.

[@brittakriep2938]

@@miguelm2055 : If you say: The first man on moon was an US citizen. This sentence can be translated in german either: Der erste Mensch auf dem Mond war ein US Bürger. Or: Der erste Mann auf dem Mond war ein US Bürger. So it depends on context, when you mean human- Mensch/ mankind- Menschheit/ male human- Mann. Usually it is in german language , der Mensch'. But rather old people sometimes say , das Mensch' , when they mean a not so honourable young woman. By changing der /die/das some german words mean something completly different , for example der See/ the lake ,but die See/ the sea or der Schild/ the shield , but das Schild / the sign. A sidenote: A cognate to lake is german Lache, which is another word for Pfütze/ puddle.
