How Good Are Bulgarians At Geography?

I went to Sofia, Bulgaria to quiz people between 14 and 25 on geography. If they answered correctly, they got 5 euros/10 leva. Here's what happened.

Well to be honest, to answer some of those questions you need to know how the countries' names are spelled in English. This is not geography... This is language knowledge.

[@module79l28]

Exactly! Not knowing the answers in English doesn't make people ignorant.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

For those don't know, the one-word country that has all five vowels in its name is Mozambique! The Portuguese named it Moçambique after the island of Mozambique off the country's northern coast, which in turn was after an Arab trader and chief named Mussa Bin Bique. This island became the region's Portuguese colonial capital in the 16th century and remained the capital until 1898 when it was moved to Maputo, though back then it had the name Lourenço Marques and wasn't renamed to Maputo until the country got its independence in 1975. Also, while Cyrillic is widespread in Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan stopped using Cyrillic exclusively in 1992 and re-introduced Latin as the official alphabet, so she's correct. And I love how the flag guy knew the Guamanian flag of all flags! The Guam flag is interesting. The red border represents the blood spilled in World War II and the Spanish colonial era. The seal in the middle is in the shape of a Chamorro sling stone used as a weapon for warfare and hunting. The coconut tree, growing in infertile sand, symbolizes self-sustenance and determination to grow and survive under any circumstance. The seal also includes a flying Proa, a seagoing craft built by the Chamorro people, which was fast and agile in the water requiring great skill to build and sail. The Hagåtña River channel, where fresh water rushes out to interact with the ocean, symbolizes a willingness to share the resources of the land with others.

[@claudiuspseudonymus1369]

FYI Guam is NOT an independent country but just another AMERICAN overseas territory.. a leftover relic from WW2 which the Yankee military use as a stopover to Asia...and its economy is dependant on the US MILITARY ...! PATHETIC..!!

[@talhasial5502]

All hail Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un

[@Deadlious]

Great, but not in Bulgarian... In Bulgarian it is Мозамбик, and there are only 3 vowels... So, considering that most people had to answer in English and still got the correct answers is even more impressive.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Here's the story behind the Indonesia and Monaco flags: Monaco's flag was adopted in April 1881. Chosen by Prince Charles III in 1881, the national banner recalls the colors of the Grimaldi coat of arms, which themselves recall the red and white colors of the heraldry of the Genoese Republic, the cradle of the Prince's Family. The House of Grimaldi was founded in 1160 by Grimaldo Canella in Genoa and became the ruling house of Monaco when Francesco Grimaldi captured Monaco in 1297. Besides the ratio, there is a slight color difference between the two as the shade of red is darker on the Monaco flag. The Indonesian flag's colors are derived from the banner of the Majapahit Empire. The red and white symbolism can also be traced to the older common Austronesian mythology of the duality of Mother Earth (red) and Father Sky (white). This is why these colors appear in so many flags throughout Austronesia, from Tahiti to Madagascar. In the early 20th century these colors were revived as an expression of nationalism against the Dutch. The modern flag was first flown in Java in 1928. After Indonesia's independence was declared and a war with the Dutch ensued, Indonesian youths removed a colonial Dutch flag flying over Surabaya's Yamato Hotel (now Hotel Majapahit), tore off the blue strip and re-hoisted it as an Indonesian flag. So symbolically, it can be interpreted as the Dutch flag without the blue, signifying the divorce.

- The Y question felt like a major trick question, but then I realized I wasn't thinking of the obvious ones like Germany and Italy. The order they came up after I paused to think was naturally the same two as she answered, then Norway, and finally Italy. BUT TECHNICALLY that's actually FALSE - For Germany and Italy at least, as those are the common ENGLISH spelling and enunciation of their names, and NOT the actual names, as Germany it natively ends in a D, and Italy ends in a A. - Took me a solid 3 1/2 minutes to come up with Dominican Republic for the vowels question. But I forgot it had to be one word, then I quickly realized its Mozambique! - For the next question, I took a long time to figure it out, with my brain bouncing back to Central Asia many times in the process, but never quite looking far enough south to find it (and I also vaguely recalled watching another video from you recently where you posed this question and it was answered, but it only frustrated me more haha.) Its Afghanistan. - For the next question, in the order I came up with them: Lima, Bern (though technically there has never been any true/official capital of Schweiz), Oslo and Baku! My god, I went through the ENTIRE WORLD, all 190+ nations just to realize about halfway through I said Belgium in its native tongue and so failed to see how that made my pass over it as a name without a m lol. My bad. Also, I didn't think of the UK because I NEVER think of it as that name because I am strongly bias against such a concept (I only think of the actual nations within the "union", and otherwise will refer to the whole as "Britain" or "England", with the last one because it blatantly has always been and will always be the "senior partner" of it and the controlling nation over the others within it. - First I thought of ending in t is Bharat (India), which technically would be correct to say, given that they're actively petitioning the UN to officially change their name both legally and globally (so maps too) to Bharat, because of the strong Hindu Nationalism movements/sentiments fed by Modi himself and the BJP. I also hate the fact my brain always forces a hard reset every single time the question changes, so I have to spend the time going through the entire world all over again with each question if I do not automatically/quickly know the answer, as is the case here. I now realize I subconsciously was trying to avoid thinking anymore haha. Yeah, if that hadn't been the case, Egypt would have came quickly, but I was very resistant to thinking much. - Thank god this one wasn't "Name four nations in the Antilles" because I would have just had to throw out all the names I know of in the arc/Caribbean without regard for if they were truly sovereign or not. Easy to answer without having to think at all: Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Haiti, Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Kitts & Nevis, Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda, Trinidad and Tobago, Curacao and Aruba. Those are the ones I do know as a whole region that are sovereign. - Mexico City, Kuwait City, Panama City also Luxembourg City - Portugal, Nepal & Brasil. (I realized in looking through the world map in my head on this question, that I also managed to dismiss Vietnam as a nation that ends in M for that prior question, for the same reasons, as I find myself most often using the old name of Die Viet.) - Hanoi, Tokyo, Seoul, Pyongyang, Bangkok, Tehran, Manila, Baghdad, Kuwait City, Jerusalem (probably shouldn't be though), Aleppo, Ankara, Baku, Tbilisi, Yerevan, Bishkek, Riyadh, shall I go on? lol. All these came to me immediately without thought somehow. - Israel, Philippines, Armenia, and technically I refuse to consider Turkey European, and only consider it Asian, so Turkey as well. I _THINK_ Georgia also uses the Latin alphabet, but there's a part of my visual memory that shows something similar to Polish. I said this because is it still the Latin Alphabet if most letters are heavily altered with heavy accent markings? I feel like no, but I guess if Vietnamese is considered a correct answer, then it officially would be a yes despite my personal feelings. - London, Edinburgh, and Derry (yep, I refuse to acknowledge any legitimacy to the UK's claims to Northern Ireland), though if I recall correctly, its sort of ambiguous now between it and Belfast. (Or perhaps my dyslexia is flipping the two around, as it often does this when guessing nations on maps and such). With Wales, I was never sure which of the three main big cities in the south was their capital. Cardiff, Swansea or the one I am failing to recall the name of right now (Bristol is the city in England across from Cardiff, right?) - What exactly does "Double Landlocked" mean? That the nation is landlocked inside of a nation, which itself is landlocked inside of another? Or does this have to do with how many borders you have to cross before reaching a waterbody that can lead to the Ocean? I don't understand the question because of this. - Africa. - I think that is Guatemala, right? That's the guess I came up with immediately, and I'm sticking with it with fair confidence. Second guess would be Colombia. - Abuja (it has been constantly screaming at me in my head since I started watching this video for some unknown reason haha), Accra, Niamey, Bloemfontein (this question could have three of the four named just with South Africa alone), Cairo, Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers, Freetown, etc. - 20. - Mexico. - Oh come on now! That's hilarious. Russian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz. Well, there you go! That's me follow along for the video! If you ever find yourself coming to the Portland area of Oregon, I would ADORE a opportunity to be one of the people you ask these kinds of questions to! I've been dreaming of the day someone randomly asks me/quizzes me on geography publicly.

[@ivanpetrov5185]

When it comes to the first question it's actually far harder for Bulgarians to answer these questions, because: A) English is not our native language B) We don't even use the Latin alphabet. So when you ask about country ending with Y any answering Bulgarian should immediately switch to English and start thinking. All of the countries mentioned above end with Я in our language: Germany - Германия Italy - Италия Norway - Норвегия So, it's a very hard question to switch and give a proper response within 30 seconds.

[@TheCriminalViolin]

@@ivanpetrov5185 Makes perfect sense, and would be about what I'd expect. Swapping from Cyrillic to Latin can't be easy, and probably far harder for most English speakers to pull off (we don't seem to have the brains built for other languages, especially with different alphabets and structures)

[@NoCo933]

Knowing the letters in different country names doesn't mean you're good at geography. More questions about actual geographical locations and features (rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, borders, etc.) would be really interesting.

[@lingualizer]

I kind of agree that not every question shows the geography knowledge of the interviewee, however, I find these types of questions very entertaining, because it's stuff you likely don't think about and therefore fits for me into the category of trivia.

You speak the Bulgarian language very good but the only thing is that you have to get rid of the so called (by Bulgarians) french "r"

[@George.Pandeliev]

Why would he have to get rid of it? Many Bulgarians have "that" R for various reasons

[@HeroManNick132]

Това не е френско Р, а немско Р. Той е роден в Австрия и е израснал с немски и български, защото родителите му са българи, макар че той самият е отрасъл в Австрия. Затова акцентът му е такъв, така че кое не ти е ясно? И нашето Р е все едно като испанското, така че не е напълно оригинално, както ти смяташ, че е.

[@user-ql4bx1sd2o]

Kyrgyzstan will continue to use Cyrillic, Kazakhstan will change it due to the wish of their ex-president. As English is a language of international communication and business he decided to change it

In Bulgarian the country is also called Brasilia (Бразилия) , just like the capital.Same in russian and many other languages

​@@babatigosho6214in Russian and Ukrainian the difference is in the last letter. E.g. in Ukrainian it is Бразилія for the country vs Бразиліа for the city.

[@HeroManNick132]

@@BohdanMelnychuk Ukrainian uses И as Ы like how Russian uses it if it is next to Ж, Ш, Ц. For example ''Франция'' in Russian is pronounced actually ''Францыя'' despite they write it the same as Bulgarian. And like Belarusian, Belarusian doesn't even have И or Щ and it uses I like Ukrainian and Шт/Шч as the languages from Ex-Yugoslavia.

[@BohdanMelnychuk]

@@HeroManNick132 Ukrainian does not use ы, it uses і/и, Ukrainian і corresponds to Russian и, Ukrainian и is close to Russian ы, but is actually a different sound, the same as i in the English word bit.

[@HeroManNick132]

@@BohdanMelnychuk Polish Y is also different from the Russian/Belarusian Ы but it's close. Rusyn for some reason uses И, I and Ы which Ukrainian does not. Czech and Slovak have the diagraph of Ы but the sound is lost, like how Polish have CH/H but they are the same. While South Slavic languages lack of both frickative H (Г) sound with hard Y sound like Ы. You have to keep in mind, that in Russian И is pronounced else where like I, while if it is followed by Ж, Ш, Ц like ''жизни, широко, Франция'' - ''и'' is pronounced like the Ukrainian ''и.''

is double landlocked, so must border all landlocked countries and be landlocked itself

[@JustforFun132a.k.aNickjackHero]

@@matiasdiaz8913 No, it's not double landlocked. Double landlocked means to be surrounded by landlocked countries and only 2 countries in the world are double landlocked - Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan.
