The thing why Flemish (Belgian Dutch) is so similar to German is because they are basically the same language both belonging to the west Germanic language continuum (basically the dialect changes every village a bit from the north of Italy in Tirol to the North Sea in the Netherlands, so while our standardized languages might differ quite a bit people living close to the border can understand eachother perfectly fine in their dialects (e.g. I can have a conversation with a Dutch person in my German dialect while I couldn't with a Bavarian or Austrian). Polish on the other hand is a Slavic language and hence not related to German which is why, except some loanwords, they are not intelligible for eachother at all. Basically English (though kinda the black sheep of the family due to a lot of French influence for historical reasons), Dutch, Flamish, Luxembourgish, Liechtensteinish (?) German, Swiss German, Austrian German, Tirolian German, High German, Low German, Afrikaans, Yiddish, Frisian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese are all one language family of the Germanic languages, everything west and south of this block (plus romania) Romanic languages, everything east Slavic languages (with the exception of Hungarian and Finnish which are Ugric (asiatic steppe nomadic) languages, the Baltics which have their own Baltic language family and Greek which is its own thing (basically all their relatives were conquered and assimilated by Slavs and Turks)

Unless for international words - i.e. which came in both languages from the same source - there would not be many similarities. Polish is a Slavic language, whereas Hungarian is not even Indo-European. But Hungarian has many Slavic loanwords though generally from our neighbours (Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, Slovakian or Czech), often linguists cannot decide from which Slavic language a word entered into Hungarian.

[@lies1]

The reason why the word for “math(s)” is so different in Dutch is because Simon Stevin, a mathematician from Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) preferred using Dutch terms for scientific concepts instead of terms that were derived from Latin or Greek. That’s why he invented several new Dutch words, one of which is “wiskunde” for mathematics.

[@lies1]

Furthermore, “wis” is not the same as “wijs” (wise) like they were suggesting in the video. “Kunde” indeed means something like “knowledge” or “science”, but “wis” actually means “certain”. The word “wis” is not used anymore except for in certain expressions: “een wisse dood” (a certain death). So wiskunde can be translated as “the knowledge of that which is certain”. Meaning knowledge you can prove by calculations.

[@williamwilting]

Well, I don't really know if the English-ish word has ever been used in Dutch, but if I had to guess I think it was, because the word 'mathematisch', which means 'mathematically', is actually still used. I think it's an older kind of Dutch where a word like 'mathemtiek' or 'mathematica' might come from (if it was, I still don't know which of the two, but both are assumable with mathematiek coming from Germanic (which is more related to German) or mathematica (which is more related to the Latin origin). The american woman might be more surprised about the Dutch words, because a large number of Dutch people use the same words, but with pronunziations that are different from Flemish people in the northern part of Belgium. Sometimes there are even different words too.

@@hungariangiraffe6361 The only language that i've heard that is close to hungarian is finish. I'm not sure if Hungary and Finland had some history together, but they do sound similar. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the little I know about Hungary is, that their ancestors came from east Asia, like Turkey, Iran, and I've just read now that also settlers from Siberia (Orsegs). That's maybe why Orszagh is a popular name in Hungary. So Hungarian is more similar to east Asia languages.

[@hungariangiraffe6361]

@@martinmalenak366 you are not completely wrong. Hungarian is a Finno-Ugric language, and we are related to the Finnish and Estonian. The first known territories of the 7 Hungarian tribes (Nyék, Megyer, Kürtgyarmat, Tarján, Jenő, Kér, Keszi) are somewhere at the Ural Mountains, the border of Asia and Europe. However, scientists say that we are related to the Turks. So our language is Finno-Ugric, but we are descended from the Turks. Legends say that the Huns were our "brothers", but they went to Europe earlier. And about the name Orszagh, I think you wanted to write Országh, but I understand that you might don't have these weird letters as á, é, ö, ű. It's actually not that common, but sometimes you can hear it as a family name (not last name, because we write the name of our family for first, and our surname as second, like Országh Anna, and not Anna Országh). By the way, ország (without the h, Hungarian is a phonetic language, there are no silent letters except some old family names as this) means that country, like we call our homeland Magyarország (magyar=Hungarian), and lots of other countries are named with this logic, as Olaszország="Italiancountry", Franciaország="Frenchcountry", etc.

It's not entirely true that German and Polish don't have any differences.

The languages are so live and ever evolving. For example, the word sugar in the standard Croatian language is "Šećer" (it sounds something like shecher) and comes from the Turkish word - Şeker. The northern part of Croatia often use the word "Cuker" which is loaned from German - Zucker. Southern part of Croatia (Dalmatia) use "Cukar" derived from Italian - Zucchero. But when you see all these words, they have the same origin, that is, they came trough medieval Latin from the Arabic word "Sukkar". 😁

Yes and the other germanic languages are also pretty close. Most of the time when people make comparison memes, they tend to compare German with romance languages, which are somewhat different.

The videos where German and the other languages have nothing in common are actually forced by selection, because in those videos there are only Latin languages compared to German which is a Germanic language so of course all others are similar except German.

Of course East of Germany the Slavic language family starts which is the third big language family in Europe: Germanic, Latin, Slavic.

I can hear the similarities between most of the Korean words and Chinese. I'm accustomed to hearing different variants of Chinese on TV, and it wouldn't surprise me if you told me these words came from yet another regional Chinese language. It's within the range of variation already present in Chinese languages. Korean grammar is very different from Chinese grammar, so if you were to use complete sentences it would be quite obvious, but a lot of their nouns are related to Chinese. It's a similar situation with Japanese, where Japanese took a lot of older words from Chinese and Chinese took a lot of newer words from Japanese.

In British English we say “lift” for “elevator”. I was surprised to hear that other Europeans say “lift” as well. There must be a common root.

Etymology is proto-germanic and related to "air" (German "Luft", original Old Norse "Lypta" - "to rise in the air").

[@ktipuss]

Other Europeans simply following British English usage. In Ukrainian it's "ліфт", and in Russian "лифт". No need to guess how those Cyrillic words are pronounced. And - wait for it! - good old Google translate describes "lift" (when used as a noun) as meaning in English: "a device incorporating a moving cable for carrying people, typically skiers, up or down a mountain". Obviously "Google Translate" ignoring the common description of a lift in other versions of English as "a platform or compartment housed in a shaft for raising and lowering people or things to different floors or levels", which Google translate ascribes to "elevator". So if English is not your first language, remember "Google Translate" might well be giving you just the American versions of English words.
