Cilantro is the Spanish word for the leaves but in the US they also use it for the stalks while they call the seeds Coriander. In the rest of the world they say Coriander for the whole thing because the plant is called Coriandrum sativum.

The word “cilantro” is the Spanish name for coriander leaves. Meanwhile, the dried seeds of the plant are called coriander.

One of the weird things about the Australian school system is that the terms can vary, depending on which region you're in. For example, the first year of primary school is known as 'prep' in Victoria, Queensland, and Tasmania, 'kindergarten/kindy' in New South Wales, 'pre-primary' in Western Australia, 'reception' in South Australia, and 'transition' in the Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory.

[@u2danny81]

Boston American here. Preschool Kindergarten Elementary school. You're usually 6-7 in 1st grade Middle school High school We say taxi and cab. Cilantro is green. Corriander are the seeds

[@smorrow]

Notes from a Northern Irish: - I could have sworn 'cab' (and 'cabby') was American as hell. It only exists here in fixed phrases like 'Fonacab', kind of like the 'kid' in 'kids menu' - 'Store' in and of itself sounds American. Though, I'd refer to B&Q and the like as a hardware store because what else would you call it - I would *never* say 'loo' - Would an American never say prawn cocktail? What else would you _possibly_ call it? (If they were saying 'shrimp cocktail' I think I would have heard it by now)

[@onnanob]

Comments from a Pennsylvanian American: I've heard of prawns, but I think it's from British programming. We would definitely call it shrimp cocktail.

The US folks never seem to mentioned our crude slang for bathroom or toilets. We say bathroom, restroom, powder room, wash room, ladies room, men's room, Some of us call it a John or "the head" but that's crude, there are so many terms. Cilantro & Corriander are both used in the US but I agree when I was younger I didn't know they were the same. I've heard it's diff parts of the plant tho. On the west coast we say pharmacy way more than drugstore. We would also say Walgreens or CVS if that's where we were doing lol

Great to see Christina and Mia again and welcome Ryan! From previous videos, I knew the vocabulary differences between these 3 countries. I’ve never heard of junior school in Australia. As a Victorian, government schools when I attended is Primary School (prep, grades 1-6) and Secondary School (year 7-12). Still it was a fun video, these 3 gel well!

[@thevannmann]

It depends on the state. In WA we have primary school, high school (also known as secondary school) and even colleges (which can be high school only or primary & high school). The year before year 1 is called "Pre-primary". Then there's university (uni) and TAFE (which for non-Australians is like a separate technical and further education school). Back in the 2000s when I went to high school it started at year 8 but then they changed it to be year 7. The latter two both fall under "tertiary school".

[@imarandomperson]

The reason for the numerical discrepancy in American grades and British years is that America also has kindergarten, which corresponds to British Year 1. Also, "put another shrimp on the barbie" is from a Tourism Australia commercial that was designed specifically for America.

[@thevannmann]

Shrimp is used in Australia but only to refer to the actual shrimp products mostly from Asia like shrimp paste and dried shrimp that's packaged.

[@yudasgoat2000]

WRT the shrimp vs prawn thing: Here in New Zealand shrimps are the smallest size class of saltwater crustacean sold for human consumption, the next size up is just "prawn", then we add descriptors like "banana", "tiger", "vannamei", etc., until you get to the one that Brits call langoustine-we call that "scampi". We use lobster interchangeably with crayfish, and call the freshwater ones "koura".

Yep, we say taxi or cab in Australia; they're interchangeable. I never use the term junior school, only primary school. Education systems differ between states and between the public & private sectors, so that may account for the different terminologies. We also use post as a verb, e.g. "I need to post this birthday card." We don't use mail as a verb like Americans do.

3:10 cilantro comes from Spanish and coriander comes from French. Coriandre! In America and Canada coriander refers to the roots I believe that can be grounded up and made into a spice. In Canada, the English side says cilantro, but the French side says coriandre although some French speakers in Canada, who get to chummy with the English they might add it to their vocabulary, but to my knowledge that is not the case in Europe. In French we say Coriandre

[@johnalden5821]

Yes, in the U.S. coriander refers to a spice, which usually is a ground powder. The actual fresh plant, used as an herb, is known as cilantro. So we use both, meaning two different products of the same plant.

[@gregmuon]

@@johnalden5821 People used to refer to cilantro as coriander in the US as well, a long time ago. Look at old cookbooks. The thing is, it isn't really used in traditional American cooking, so it wasn't commonly known. Sometimes it will be called "Chinese parsley" in old recipes.... In the southwest, where there is obviously a Spanish and Mexican influence, and cilantro/coriander is widely used - I think that it's always been called cilantro.

[@fordhouse8b]

@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 No, it isn’t known exactly where it originated, but most likely somewhere in southern Europe, western Asia, or possibly northern Africa. Since it began to be cultivated it spread all over the mediterranean. It was simply referred to as Chinese parsley because it was familiar to some from Chinese cuisine. From google translate, at least in some dialects of Chinese the words for parsley and cilantro is the same in Chinese.

I think that until a few decades ago (roughly 5?), cilantro was known as fresh coriander in the US, but it was rarely used and not widely available. To buy it, one would usually go to either a store that specialized in Chinese or hispanic cuisine, and in those stores it would usually be called either Chinese parsley or cilantro. With its rising popularity, i think cilantro won out, both because it really isn’t parsley at all, Latino, especially Mexican cuisine has become widely available as the latino population has greatly expanded, and because not calling it coriander makes for a very clear distinction from coriander seeds (which are a delicious spice in their own right).

Basically the difference is that the kindergarten in the US is already the Year 1 of school in England. So, you are in Year 1 iin England when you are 5/6 and then it goes all the way up to Year 13, when you are 17/18. In the US, 1st Grade would be ages 6/7 (as in Year 2 in England) and then you leave school at 12th Grade, which corresponds to ages 17/18 (as in Year 13 in England).

[@brandondouglas2436]

In Canadian English: 1) both "taxi" and "cab" are used interchangeably, though each word's popularity varies with region 2) "bathroom" specifically refers to a private room in a person's home or private office, whereas "washroom" refers to both a private room in a person's home/office or a public space (e.g. airport, mall, store, park, office building, school, etc.); toilet is considered crude because it refers to the object like dunny does 3) "cilantro" is used when referring to the fresh or dried herb and "coriander" is used when referring to its seed 4) "mail" is used, as well as "mailbox," "post office," "mailman/postman/mail carrier" (depending on region), "Canada Post" (this runs the post office, similar to the Royal Mail) 5) a "pharmacy" refers to the place where you get medicine and prescriptions filled; a "drug store" is a type of convenience store that combines a grocery store and a pharmacy, with additional departments like cosmetics (makeup) and books; it is more common in Canada to refer to the name of the business, though (e.g. Shopper's, Werezak's, etc.); a "chemist" is a type of scientist in the field of chemistry 6) "underwear" is used as a general term, but the specific type that is shown in the picture is called "boxer briefs"; "undies" is considered childish 7) "elementary school" typically begins at age 5 with Kindergarten, followed by grade 1/first grade through to grade 6 or 8 (depending on region); if elementary school ends before grade 8, then "middle school" follows until grade 9 or 10 (depending on region); finally, "high school" concludes the mandatory formal education system at grade 12 (ages 17-18); "secondary" is used sometimes in official settings, such as high school names, government, etc. 8) "prawns"; "shrimp" is used for a smaller crustacean that looks similar to prawns

Australia uses the word "letterbox" for the receptacle the postman (postie) delivers your item into. We also don't really say bathroom when referring to a toilet...it's just toilet, dunny or even loo...yes we do use some UK terms too. Also it is normal to have the toilet in a separate room from the bathroom in Australia. Mens underwear is jocks, briefs, boxers, undies or underwear...womens is undies, knickers and panties. Many times when an Australian has the same word as America in these videos (not always) it's because they watch too much US tv and have differing vocab than the general population. In Australia chemist and pharmacy is interchangeable but drugstore is absolutely never used...in fact the word drug is seen more as a taboo word because drugs to Australians are narcotics....we buy or with a prescription pick up our medicine from a chemist or pharmacy

Cab is actually VERY common in the USA. I say cab more than taxi if I’m in the USA and taxi more when abroad. We say “call a cab, take a cab, hail a cab, cab driver”.

I never see signs in my country that say toilet. I usually see restrooms or ladies’ room, men’s school in public spaces. Toilet would be seen by most Americans as crude to put on a sign. We call the leaves cilantro and call the seeds as coriander. Like if you buy seeds or ground seeds in the spice aisle the label in the USA says coriander. I refer to the people who deliver the mail as mailman or mail carrier but I call the people who work at the post office as postal workers. That’s me. Not sure about what other people do.

Then Kindergarten is 5-6. Both TK and kindergarten are optional. Children are only required to attend school in California once they turn 6. 1st-5th grade is Elementary school, and 6th, 7th, 8th is Jr High. And High School is 9th-12th.

I'm from California. for Me it's Pre-school, and lately I've been hearing Pre-K being used more. Elementary is from 1st to 6th grade, Middle school (I almost never hear Junior High run my area), is 7th and 8th, but 6th grade is an option too. Then High School from 9th to 12th, most commonly Freshman (9th), Sophomore (10th), Junior (11th), and Senior (12th).

[@anndeecosita3586]

It depends. My elementary school in California was K-6. I think sixth grade is still technically elementary school although sometimes I see school districts that group it with 7th and 8th and call it middle school. My old elementary school has now expanded into K-8. I have also seen schools that are 7th, 8th, and 9th. Then they call their 10,11 and 12 as high school.

[@johnalden5821]

When I was growing up, you could start kindergarten at the age of 4 (mostly because pre-K was not a thing then), as long as you turned 5 before the end of the calendar year. So the standard age you were expected to be was five for kindergarten, 6 for first grade, etc. For the past couple of decades, the schools have required kids to be 5 prior to starting kindergarten in the fall, so you will have some kids that are 5 in September but turn 6 maybe in October. So the kids have gotten older in each grade. This makes some sense with kindergarten, because it has become more academic and more demanding over the years. Kids are, on average, older when they graduate than they used to be. For example, I was 17 when I started my freshman year in college.

Also FYI we don’t refer to all cattle as beef once it’s cooked. I don’t call bison or buffalo as beef ,and they are cattle. I call them bison and buffalo. I know that for the kinds of cattle that the meat is considered beef the word veal is used if they are young. I do say deer for animals and venison for the meat.

@@andyx6827 I think a better analogy would be meat or milk. From the same animal, but different products. One need not cook a cow before it becomes beef, once it is slaughtered it is beef, whether a whole side of beef hanging in a chilled slaughterhouse, or a T-bone all wrapped up in the meat case at the supermarket.

My son will be going into 1st grade next year and will go from being 6 to 7 and he is about 6 months older than a lot of his classmates. So I would say first grade is 6 years old and kindergarten is 5 years old, generally. Although by the end of the year many in kindergarten turn 6. So 5-6 for K and 6-7 for first grade. Sounds like their year 1 is our kindergarten.

[@BucyKalman]

Yes, kindergarten in the US is already the Year 1 of school in England. So, you are in Year 1 in England when you are 5/6 and then it goes all the way up to Year 13, when you are 17/18 (like in the 12th Grade in the US, I think). Ages 6/7 would be Year 2 in England. Note: I wrote "England" specifically, as opposed to the UK, because Scotland has its own separate school system and I don't actually know how they number their school years.

This was fun and interesting as always! I'm American, and I've always used the words elementary and shrimp instead of primary and prawn. I first heard "Shrimp on the barbie" from watching Dumb and Dumber, which was originally quoted by Aussie actor Paul Hogan promoting Australian tourism for Americans in TV commercials. This was a little before he did Crocodile Dundee, which was hilarious!

[@Kevbot6000]

3:40 the reason why is because the herb is called “cilantro” in Spanish which is likely how America adopted it, where it’s “coriandre” in French which is where the UK gets a lots of its words for vegetables and herbs. Same reason it’s zucchini (Italian, US) vs courgette (French, UK)

[@word42069]

Interestingly though, in the US when talking about the powdered spice or seeds we refer to it as coriander, cilantro only refers to the fresh leaves. If growing it as a plant we may refer to it as coriander or cilantro equally. 😂

Can somebody tell Christina we say "cab" here in America, too. Has been that way for......I don't know how long.

[@fordhouse8b]

I assume you meant cab, not can? I think it may in part be a generational or regional thing. Maybe even a matter of if you live in a large city or not? I feel like where I live, in a pretty small place, people call a taxi, but in larger cities they hail a cab. Or at least people used to call a taxi here, now we just get an Uber or maybe a Lyft. I have the sense that though biotin a re used somewhat interchangeably in the US, cab is a bit more old-fashioned, but has remained in more common use in areas where people use cabs/taxis more often. That is, in areas were they are so abundant that the normal way of getting one is to simply wave one down as it passes you on he street. But that is just a suspicion on my part.

[@kikibigbangfan3540]

@@fordhouse8b it's literally called a taxi cab, and yes "cab"!

[@fordhouse8b]

@@kikibigbangfan3540 Yes, of course either one is short for taxi cab (which I believe was actually itself short for taximeter cab, with a taximeter simply being a device to calculate the fare, usually based on distance. Kind of like soda and pop both being short for soda pop! Cab was a shortening of cabriolet, which was borrowed into English as the term for a type of covered horse drawn passenger carriage. Later the word’s meaning extended to other kinds of carriages, and in the case of taxi cabs, to carriages for hire. The word cabriolet itself came from a french word (ultimately from Italian and Latin) meaning jump or leap, and before that a wild goat (which is very good at jumping). The reason it came to be used for a carriage was because the type carriage it originally referred to was known for its springy suspension. Language is funny that way.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

I'm familiar with "taxi", "cab", "taxi cab", "taxi driver", "cab driver", and "cabbie" because of Hollywood. I think the only places I've visited that have them, are Chicago and Toronto, and I didn't _notice_ any taxi cabs in either of those cities. I did notice the "el" tracks, and busses. We have both cilantro and coriander in America, and they are NOT THE SAME THING. They don't look the same, don't taste the same, and are not used in the same kinds of culinary contexts. (Maybe they come from the same plant? I don't know. I do know nutmeg and mace are from the same plant. Mace the spice that is, not pepper spray.) "Primary" in America refers to specifically the first three grades of elementary school. Historically primary was grades 1-3, and then "Junior" was grades 4-6, and "junior high" was 7-9. These days, primary is usually K-2, "intermediate" is 3-5, "middle school" is 6-8, and high school has been four years starting with grade 9 for at least half a century, if not longer. "Secondary" includes both junior high / middle school and senior high / high school; but you mostly encounter references to it in the form "post-secondary", which means whatever school-like thing you do after high school. ("Post-secondary" is markedly more inclusive than "college", and the term is frequently used in reference to things like vocational training centers, or sometimes even on-the-job training programs if they have a fixed duration and result in certification.) A "prawn" is an individual organism, which can be shrimp but also several similar kinds of shellfish, e.g., krill. The term "shrimp" refers to a specific type of shellfish, and is collective (so e.g. if you have twenty of the individual prawns on your plate, you still say that you have "shrimp").

[@kyler.windhorst]

Generally speaking, in America, we have 12 “grades” that range from age 5-6 for 1st Grade and 17-18 for 12th grade. Our elementary schools go up to grade 5 (with some places going to 6th), Middle school or Junior High from 6-8, and High School from 9-12. Also, high school grades typically go by different names: 9th is Freshman, 10th is Sophomore, 11th is junior, and 12th is senior.

Okay, never heard of "dunny" although I spent my childhood and teenage life in Australia. At school or public toilets, we would usually go to the toilet, not any "bathroom, or restroom". Why do English/American people need to use all kinds of euphimisms to name normal, human necessities? I remember an English child , a family friend in Australia, asking it's parents if it can go spend a penny. I wil never understand why that kid just wasn't able to say it needs to go to the toilet instead. And it was always primary school from grade one to grade 7 in Perth, WA in the 60ies. Not only at state schools, also at catholic schools.Noone said "year" or used the american "1st, second, etc. grade way. It was always grade 1, grade 2, etc. After grade 7 I went to highschool, John Forrest HIgh School in Perth, WA, to be exact. I left after form 2 = second year of high school, because my family moved back to Germany. I actually loved my schooldays in Australia, social studies and getting to know of all these explorers and discoverers of Australia. But other than than "British Glory" Australian schools had no more to offer in thiose days.

[@thevannmann]

Dunny is one of those archaic terms that we recognise to be Australian and used in the past but never actually broadly used in the cities where most people actually live. In Perth, prep is always "pre-primary" and it used to be that primary school ran from 1 to 7 but it was changed to 1 to 6 in the last decade. It's been much more common to say "year 1, year 2 etc." for at least the last 30 years IIRC. "Grade 1, grade 2" is seen as an Americanism these days. Oh and there are certain terms we only use in Perth or shared mostly with Adelaide such as: meat box, home open, deli etc. I live in Morley so I often travel past John Forrest Secondary College. :D

Fun linguistic fact: It's Cilantro in the US because that's the word in Spanish, so in the US, our southern neighbor being Mexico, we adopted their term for it, since it was predominantly used in hispanic dishes. In the UK, Coriander is adopted from France, their southern neighbor. Both were from the latin Coriandrum, which was from the greek koríandron, or κορίανδρον.

Interesting! A couple of comments from a Swede though: 1. "Coriander" is what I believe most people in Europe would use. In Sweden, it is KORIANDER, in Italian CORIANDOLO. 2. Some years ago we visited Fortnum and Mason in London, and each of us needed to visit what in Swedish obviously would be "TOALETT". For my part, it was easy. Plenty of signs directed me to the MEN'S TOILET. For my spouse it was worse. It was labelled LADIES' POWDER ROOM. But the were literally no signs at all directing her to it! It was located at a hidden place in the ladies' clothes department, and she actually had to ask one of the clerks there about it. But we would NEVER EVER use the stupid term "rest room"!

[@fordhouse8b]

Judging by the large amount of time people get a good rest on the toilet, with a good book, or nowadays more like on the internet with their phones, rest room is fairly apt, certainly more so than powder room. My unscientific guess is that most ladies spend more time perusing their phones while talking a shit then they do powdering their noses. Where I work I am on my feet all day, usually including when I eat, and most days the only time I sit down while clocked in is when I go to the bathroom, so rest room works for me. Except I always use the term bathroom, even thought there is obviously no bathtubs in the ones at my job. All languages have silly euphemism, including Swedish. For example using behag to refer to women’s breasts is a bit silly. Also probably very old-fashioned. I actually kind of wonder if most young people in Sweden are familiar with that expression? Any thoughts?

[@johanmolin3213]

@@fordhouse8b The American term "rest room" is NOT created in order to explain that people have a rest there. It is an eufemism, something of which that country is masters. I have lived in the US, and I have never experienced so many taboo words as there. There was an old Swedish sort of "stand-up" solo scetch where it was said that "Americans have not developed a sound morale. There the husband sleeps at the right, the wife at the left, and mother-in-law in the middle". And yes, we are familiar with the term "behag" which actually is an old expression, used in novels and the like 100 - 150 years ago. If ANYONE uses it today it is as a kind of half-joking expression.
