American was Shocked by Dutch Word Differences!! (Netherlands, Germany, Belgium) 

It's an american what do you expect LMAO

It’s a American There brain is stupid they can’t even name anything outside of us

I do think as a dutch person, the pronounciation between basic Netherlands dutch and Belgium dutch is way different. And the dutch girl in this video doesn’t speak dutch with a really dutch accent. She is very softspoken and doesn’t pronounce words like most of the Netherlands in my opinion. If you go to other areas in the Netherlands the sounds will be way more hard and more german sounding. Beligum and for us the border areas will souns much softer and with less of a GGgg sound. So for me it would sound more like English then Netherlands Dutch would.

@@Patricia_H the belgian girl was speaking flemish

​@@flopjul3022 Flemish is Dutch

Wow, there. You've already went *way* too far and beyond, for these girls. The American girl could not even guess ZiekenHaus was Sick house ! 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ (probably not guessing either that hospital is from French/Latin, but anyways..)

​@@goofygrandlouis6296 wait, didn't she guess it?

@@DiegoGonzalez-xl9us .. sort of. After 10 minutes. 😅

​@@goofygrandlouis6296 even in the opening sequence the girl says "I don't know where AMERICANS got cow from" as if English was created in the United States

@@goofygrandlouis6296 She said it sounds like Sick house what do you mean?? At this point you are reaching, trying to hate on them for no reason

💀 DAM

Mens precies hetzelfde bij mij!

Same😂

Ik ook en op zich is dat best logisch, aangezien in het Nederlands woorden als 'krankzinnig' / 'krankjorum' bestaan.

Ik ook! Zo klonk het precies😂😭

In America everything between 2 and 5 year old is a toddler, we have "peuter" = 2-3 year old and kleuter 4-5 year old, baby =0-1 year old. So we have "peuterspeelzaal" and "kleutergroep" which is all preschool in America. And above all that kleuterschool doesn't exist anymore, 4 year olds go to grade 1 which is the first grade of primary in The Netherlands. Kinderopvang (daycare) is for 0-4 year olds who's parents need babysitters because they need to go to work.

Nop. In the Netherlands we stopped calling it kleuterschool since 1985. We've got peuterspeelzaal for children from age 1 till 3 or 4. After peuterspeelzaal they go to group 1 of de basisschool when the are around the age of 4.

Kinderopvang is literally Kinderauffang, we only use that actually for orphans, and animals that need care to survive.

@@SchmulKrieger I think "kinderdagverblijf" is getting more popular in Dutch tbh, "Kindertagesaufenthalt" in German. Both are great words for a game of Hangman.

@@jeannettespaan162 right but grade 1 en 2 are still referred to as kleuterGROEP

yes flamish is just dutch with french influences. it sounds very similar to the limburg dialect in the netherlands

@@theflyingdutchguy9870 Flemish does have French influences, especially in local dialects (like saying "tot sebiet", which means "tot straks", or "sacoche" for "handbag"), but "neutral Flemish" (for lack of better word) just has a lot of unique words, like "goesting" (zin/trek), "verschieten" (schrikken),... and has more leftovers from archaic Dutch, like how "gij" instead of "jij" is being used. And then there's of course the classic differences which can cause massive misunderstandings, like "poepen", which means "having sex" in Flemish, and "taking a poop" in Dutch, it's pretty essential to know the difference or you might get in trouble ;) To make it even more complicated, just "poep" means "butt" in Flemish, and "poo" in Dutch.

Ze moesten iemand hebben die afrikaans sprak

@@HaanBerry ja precies.

@@Ceruleannn it is true but it is still the same language with a different dialect. I have more trouble understanding ppl from Limburg than ppl from Vlaanderen. yes with those words you can get a lot of misunderstandings. but the same goes for other Dutch dialects.

It was once Affel in Alemannic.

@@erwin.blonk.22 or in the case of German, it's literally a bunch of High German dialects, and some minor influence of the Low German, like ”doof“ used for dumb is actually low German for High German taub, and English deaf. Or Hafer instead of Haber.

@@erwin.blonk.22 so true. I'm living in the north east of the Netherlands and speak a dialect (Gronings) which is understable for people in Emsland for example (and the other way around). I'm pretty sure that people from Amsterdam or Munich would having a hard time to understand us :) But there are quit a few words that the use what sounds more like Dutch than German (so they can understand quite some Dutch).

@superaids453 wollte gerade sagen hört sich nach Fränkisch an. Meine Mutter aus dem Spessart spricht ähnlich.

She's probably unaware.

Klopt, maar wij hebben geen kleuterscholen meer 😅

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

yes, they only know the letter H and some vowels. ;)

Haha! Nu je het zegt….😂

@@Iffojesty ey das nie ware

hehe k zien west-vloaming en kkan da bevestign

Vlaanderen wat zit je nu weer uit te spoken...

Elder people and some Bavarians also use a Abbreviation of hospital And say „Spital“

as a flemish person I have never heard someone say hospitaal or gasthuis

It's the same in The Netherlands. We use 'ziekenhuis' nowadays but it used to be 'hospitaal' or 'gasthuis' in the 'old' days ;-). We even use the letter 'H' on street signs so when going to a hospital you follow the signs which say 'H' on it :-) ;-)

@@kiekendiefje yes and some people also use the word "kliniek" when talking about the hospital. it varies from region to region LOL people use the word they probably grew up with but it all means the same thing

@@bandeano3870 A 'hospitaal'or 'gasthuis', like a 'ziekenhuis', was/is for every specialty. A 'kliniek' is mostly just one specialty ;-)

Dutch and German can litterally make combo words out of almost anything we want. If I wanted to say janitor of the sofa warehouse in Dutch I can just go “zetelwarenhuisconciërge” and that would be a correct Dutch word even though I invented it on the spot.

Krank is a word aswell ;)

@@robindemeyer8960 That makes sense. It will be interesting to see how much Dutch I can understand if I manage to get fluent in German. Even just with English, I can kind of follow along with some interviews that the Van Halen brothers did on Dutch television, pick a few words out, and understand the context of the interview.

A house for cranky people and a wagon for cranky people. I think cranky originally meant sick or ill.

@@Gadavillers-Panoir you are correct. The term used for this is etymology (helpful if you wanna google the origin of words) "late 18th century (in the sense ‘sickly, in poor health’): perhaps from obsolete (counterfeit) crank ‘a rogue feigning sickness’, from Dutch or German krank ‘sick’."

Leuk idee maar die talen lijken echt niet op elkaar, je zou wel kunnen kijken welke woorden op elkaar lijken.

Afrikaans from South Africa and Dutch would be a better comparisons

@@rafe3028 That's true

We say "die kuh macht muh" (the cow makes/says mooh")

@@hans471 n Dutch we say “de koe zegt moe”

❤😊❤😊

...des koeien loeien... 😂 Dutch is so perfect - I’m advanced level (over 8.000 base words) after only learning it for 3 or 4 months!

..de koe loeit...

I‘ve been there and it‘s not much different from hochdeutsch, if anything the different regions inside germany have more of an accent

I feel like Flemish has a lot of French influence to it. Just my personal observation.

@@alistairt7544 It does, especially in the reagons near the frensh and Walloon border

​@Alistair T no she's just bad speaker we don't talk her

well, that type of german should be very much the same as the one from the border region to belgium, so Aachen or something. it is probably hard to get a bunch of german dialect speakers from different corners of the language area in korea, especially if they have to be have decent looking girls. I guess the swiss/austria/germany one is not good enough xD Note: the pressure to speak standard is kind of high so many young people can't really do it anymore as much.

theres no way she actually thinks Americans invented English

@@MustyHam She doesn't, she probably just said that because she's representing America and we say cow. She said English is from Europe 🤦

@@bluerefr I live in the US and after enough time there and enough of those viral videos of Americans saying stupid shit I came to the conclusion that 95% of Americans are really just that stupid. tuff world out there ☠️

@@MustyHam She probably does.

@@MustyHam omg people need to calm down. she's sayin she doesn't know why Americans pronounce cow the way we do. she doesn't know where it came from or why. not that we invented English. sit down and relax and stop hating

I think it's a translation error. German in German is Deutch, which sounds similar to "Dutch" to a non-European language speaking person

​@@bluerefr It's "Deutsch", not "Deutch".

Flemish isn’t exactly Dutch either.

@@bluerefr I am an European language speaker, but they are still similar.

​@@Vanpachi Dutch and Flemish is still very different from German. Spanish and Italian are also very different

Swedish is a north germanic language that's why. But now it's different

The Swedish word might very well be a loan-translation or calque from German, that used to be a very prestigeous language back in the 19th century when the train was invented (i.e. since Zug in German meant procession/march/movement of people or vehicles in a column, and the Germans extended this meaning to denote trains, the Swedish might have done the same thing with their already existing and etymolocally cognate word tåg).

Interesting. Our word would be Hospice for end-of-life care.

Western Germanic would would better I think since "Germanic" also includes Scandinavian languages

GEKOLONISEERD.

Yeah that's correct

in Indonesia we also call it motor

or 'opstaan' en 'je recht zetten', 'vast en zeker' en 'zeker en vast' or words like 'tram' and 'flat' that eventough is written the same the Dutch pronounce it like in the english language but the flemish part in Belgium don't.

The English hospitality is recieving guests in Dutch. Guesthouse, which is hospitaal in Belgium. I think it was used in Holland aswell. It sounds more like a professional would use it.

Baumschule and Kindergarten.

Yeah, like for the thing that powers the car under the hood we use "Motor," for a motorcycle we use multiple thing; you could use "brommer or bromfiets" or as specified a "moto" wich is short for motorfiets.

​@@nielsleenknegt5839 'Moto' is French. 'Motor' is short for 'motorfiets', but both are never used in Flanders for the vehicle.

Do you always put the neuter -t on original forms of the words?

As someone from Limburg i felt that the Flemish pronunciation of words like Beer (Bear) or Moter (Motor) were more familiar to me. We have a softer G sound and roll R's a bit more. Not as soft as the Flemish G sound but pretty close.

It's not too weird to have subtitles either, I've seen subtitles for Flemish programs on Flemish tv even when it's not obviously needed because of dialect or otherwise difficult to understand. But yes, it's officially the same language and most Flemish will understand about everything a Dutch person will say. In old days the lack of Flemish channels meant we also watched the Dutch channels a lot. The inverse is a bit more difficult, especially when French(-origin) words are used in Flanders. We can still tell someone is Dutch after hearing only 3 syllables 😛

Dutch in English once only meant the continental west Germanic countries' language. That's why you say Pennsylvania Dutch even when their dialect is mostly Upper German. So it's in fact correct.

I mean, they were probably just talking about Dutch, not German. However, in German, German is Deutsch. And in Dutch, German is Duits. And Duits also used to be used to refer to... Dutch by Dutch people. Or 'Nederduits', meaning 'Nederlands', Dutch. You see where I'm going with this. Pretty much as Krieger said. Pennsylvania Dutch e.g. refers to Deitsch, which people would categorize as Low German. But then again... Dutch is also technically Low German. What I'm trying to say is, the distinction is in fact arbitrary. Dutch, Deutsch, Diets, Deitsch, it's the same language branch. Dutch really is used to refer to Netherlandish generally speaking, or Netherdutch (from Nederduits, Nederlands). But then again, Netherdutch just means Low German, and that exists in Germany too... I could go on and on, but, the point is, the borders of the Netherlands are fairly arbitrary. And don't draw a hard line between one language or another. Although it has somewhat become like that due to schools forcing standardization on both sides of the border, pretty sad, because it kills local unique languages AND the bond we share with our neighbours.

Agree!

Yeah, Low German is more closely related to English (or at least Old English), so it lacks a lot of the consonant changes that affected High German, like p > pf.

That is not true.

@@ManuelRuiz-xi7bt Then you haven't seen the video!! So, wrong answer from you, ManuelRuiz

Nobody in the video said that the word for 'motorcycle' in Dutch also means 'car'. 'Motorbike' in the Netherlands is 'motor' (abbreviation of 'motorfiets'), in Flanders it is 'moto' in practice - the French word. Naya wasn't paying attention and seemed to have forgotten that they were actually talking about motorbikes, and just said the word for 'engine', which is 'motor' in both Flemish and Dutch.These videos are full of inaccuracies. They are mostly just guessing everything.

@@ManuelRuiz-xi7bt No you are wrong! I am Dutch myself so i know MUCH more then you do! So please shut up and leave this channel!!!

I don't think that's a high German consonant shift. After all, also English has the g sound

Yeah motor is the engine of the car lol.

wakker de Patat/friet oorlog niet op aub

But like they said in the video, the zachte G also gets used in the southern provinces of the Netherlands, particularly Noord Brabant and Limburg

not anymore used to be. Old Frisan and Old English have a lot of similarities.

I love her now ❤

Yes
