In german the word we use to describe a horse's sound is "Wiehern" For example "Das Pferd wiehert" means "the horse is neighing".

[@mcrowmoor8936]

In finnish a horse says "i-ha-haa". There's many words similar to japanese ones with completely different meanings tho. Like "henna" is a common name for girls. "Kana" means chicken. And also the honorary title "kakka"actually means poop in finnish 😂

[@CElsharif]

Hot spring culture in Germany is very regional. Most places don't have them. But for places that have hot springs, they are a big deal, especially for "Kuren". There is no literal translation for "Kur", but "health retreat" comes closest. If you have chronic condition, be it physical or mental, a doctor might prescribe a Kur. Depending on what you need, you'll usually go to stay somewhere at the sea or a quiet spa town for a couple of weeks. Kuren were especially popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, but they're still very common. You can recognise many Kur towns by the word "Bad", meaning "bath", in their name, like Bad Harzburg and Bad Kreuznach. My home town Wiesbaden is famous for its mineral hot springs, going as far back as the time of ancient Rome. Legend has it that a giant once lived there. When he slipped and caught his fall with one of his hands, it left an imprint in the ground that formed the valley Wiesbaden is in. After getting up he stabbed the ground with his spear seven times in anger. Water burst threw the holes in the ground , turning them into Wiesbaden's famous seven hot springs. I loved this story as a kid.

[@TheArtosLP]

what he said

[@ThreadBomb]

Kur = "cure" in English, as in "Going to the town of Bath to take the cure". (Bath is famous for its hot springs and mineral water.)

[@stevensiegert]

Many of the Kurstädte have the title "Bad". Examples would be places like Bad Bertrich or Bad Breisig.

[@taiwanisacountry]

In Danish it would be Kurbad. "Kur" "Bath"

Yep.

Bag is Beg. Tea is Teh. Pencil is Pensel. Orange is Oren. Cabinet is Kabinet. Malay did get a lot of “unexpected visitors” from western that the British, European which Spain and Portuguese and even fellow Asian like Japanese back then so yeah their “visit” certainly left quite an impact. Biggest influence would definitely be the British.

There is one false friend that all Germans learning English fall for, which is "become". The word "bekommen" means to receive or to get something and in restaurants Germans often say "ich bekomme ein Schnitzel" (I get a Schnitzel) to order a Schnitzel.

First of all, you're all doing an amazing job with your channel! Languages can be so interesting...

On another note, I am good with a lot of western languages but I'm having quite a hard time learning japanese and would love to get some help from someone like you. If anyone wants to help me with learning japanese, let me know. I will also be happy to help anyone with english, german, spanish, etc. if you want.

[@liezl713]

One of the tricks with learning Japanese is that you need to learn it as a 'Japanese person' and not as an English person. Forget everything you think you know about language in general and go to it as a blank page. The language itself isn't that hard, the pronunciations are very simple and with practice they are easy. Hiragana and Katakana is very easy to learn. The hard part is the Kanji. So speaking and understanding Japanese is pretty straightforward. Reading it is hard, writing it....now that for me is nearly impossible. But the most valuable tip that a friend gave me when I started learning other languages was that 1. you need to have someone to speak to 2. repetition repetition repetition I saw on another channel that it helps to buy a book (children's book to start with) in that language and also buy its audiobook counterpart, then listen to it while you read the text. Then reading the book out loud and then writing what you hear.

Other false friends in german that I can think of: Lokal (written the same, pronounced different) means Pub Gym/Gymnasium means highschool Fabrik (sounds similar to the English word) means factory See (similar to sea) means lake spenden (sounds similar to "to spent something") means to donate bekommen (sounds like become) means to get Brand (written the same, sounds different) means fire (in a sense of big, uncontrolled fire) Feier (sounds like fire) means celebration Mist (sounds the same) means dirt/something you don't need Note(n) (written the same) means grade/music notes billion - for whatever reason the counting system above million is different in german and English. Billion is your trillion. The English billion is called "Milliarden" (Million = Millionen) Art (sounds the same) means the kind/type/sort of something dezent (sounds like decent) means modest

[@YouInTheJungleBaby]

in australia the slang for pub is sometimes "the local" (this might be a u.k thing too), it's probably a coincidence but it's an interesting similarity

[@Aghul]

'Mist' meaning 'dirt' is actually just slang. Actually 'Mist' is dung, usually referring to the droppings of cows on a farm.

[@Daniel-tg8cf]

@@Aghul Not in Bavaria/Austria...

[@BuzzinsPetRock78]

The whole "Million -> Billion" vs "Miljoen -> Miljard -> Biljoen" thing happen in more languages I think. But I can't honestly say for sure. Also....WHY did the Germans decide that a see is a meer and a meer is a zee? Confuses the heck out of the Dutch ;) Lokaal could mean a pub here, but mostly it's a classroom (no, not combined)

[@Daniel-tg8cf]

@@BuzzinsPetRock78 Well in old german you would usually say "die see" for the sea. Nowadays it's normal to say das Meer (=the sea) and der See (the lake)... Don't ask me why that changed though :D

"Alright who of you is the frog and who the duck?" - "Quak!" - "Stop talking over each other!"

[@Zanji1234]

:) as a child you do the QUAK for a duck quite high pitched and quick whereas the Quak for a frog is a deep voice and a long a like QUAAAAAAAAAAAAAK

[@topa1798]

alex made me subsribe!!! i love the animal sound part,seems like animal have different language following their country origin,animal from malaysia speaks bahasa and animal from japan speaks japanese. God created us different so we can meet up and learn each other and keep our world peace.thank you for this lovely and funny video

[@madhurpandey2080]

Really cool !! Girls !! Please do food. Might be a lot surprise similarities

[@blarfroer8066]

The correct German word for hot spring is "Therme" or "Thermalbad". It also uses natural ground water, but it only has to have at least 20C. And they are somewhat common, actually. As for the animal sounds: a duck says quack and a frog says quaaaaaaak.

[@GO01]

Right, all the towns called 'Bad'.

[@mertkoc8024]

Not really. The correct word is "heiße quelle" as mentioned in the video. It could also be translated into " Thermalquelle". But the meaning of "Therme" has nothing to do with the hot water scource.

[@blarfroer8066]

@@mertkoc8024 yes it does, look it up 😉

[@renmorpheus]

@@mertkoc8024 What? Of course it does! Hot springs is "Thermalquelle" and it's called thermal since it's about water from a spring that is warm. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therme

[@Aghul]

Yes and no. Both is perfectly correct but refer to different things. A natural hot spring in the wild would be a "Heiße Quelle", while a hot spring that's been transformed/turned into a bath for humans to visit (the way you go to an onsen in Japan) would be considered a "Therme" or "Thermalbad" as you said. Often times "Thermen" aren't even the actual hot springs but are just manually constructed baths that have water from a nearby hot spring pumped into them.

[@DevilSeiji]

Germans at a lake. A quak from the bushes "Is that a duck or a frog?" xD

[@maxsiehier]

The only difference between a duck and a frog is quack and quak. But I think you pronounce them quite differently. I think the difference is "kwak" and "kwek". But I'm Dutch so I'm not completely sure.

[@sherlocked3884]

@@maxsiehier the difference ist that the frog sound "quack" is shorter. In Dutch it would be like kwak. And the duck sound is a little more stretched (quak), which sounds in Dutch more like kwaak. But tbh, depending on the frog, we also pronounce the frog sound longer, so now I'm confused 😂 Looking closer at it, I think the difference might also be, where the sound takes place. Like the frog sound is more in the front of the mouth, while the duck sound is a bit more nasally...

[@BuzzinsPetRock78]

@@sherlocked3884 Well, the verb for both ducks and frogs is "kwaken" .... so it seems the linguists didn't want to think about it ;)

[@HarlekinEO]

@@BuzzinsPetRock78 nope Ducks "schnattern" they dont "quaken". quak is just the sound and singular. Its just the noise for little kids, who learn about different animals. I also remember, that I said "nag, nag, nag" for the duck sound.

[@sherlocked3884]

@@HarlekinEO Maybe there's regional differences as well! I just remembered, that I also say "Naat Naat Naat" sometimes 😂

[@003Astrid]

False friends are the bilingual hell. There's so many times where it can enter inappropriate territory. Like the Danish word for chef is kok. And I've heard many horror stories of people travelling and saying "compliments to the kok" 😂

[@blarfroer8066]

It gets even worse when you know more than two languages. A trainer in German is a coach in English, but a coach can also be a bus and in France, they call it a car.

[@reinanaggi]

Ooooh little interesting fact, in Indonesia chef is "koki" (maybe the same with Bahasa Melayu) But "kok" is the badminton shuttlecock😂 And we also use "kok" in informal/daily questions lol

[@Jrock-Rue]

Kok is also chef in Swedish, but we spell it like "kock" & in the sentence you mentioned we change the word to "kocken".

[@ReiyukaE]

Ooh, interesting! Kok has the same meaning in Dutch too.

[@neyrae2244]

@@reinanaggi in Bahasa Melayu Malaysia chef is tukang masak/chef.
