Swedish: Dog "vov" is the classic but "voff" is the more common now. Cat "mjau" Chicken "pip" for the babies, "bop" or "kackel" for the hens and "kuckeliku" for the roosters. Duck "kvack" Frog "kvack" or "kvark" Bird "pip" or "kvitt" Crow "krax" or "kraa" Elephant "trump" or "trööt", might be some other sound also. Donkey "skri" or "gnägg", might be some other sound also. Pig "nöff" or "grymt" Horse "gnägg" but like in german, we don't sound it like that. Bee "bzz" Cow "muu" Sheep "bää Goat "bää" or "bräk"
The only thing those animals “ make” is poop. What sound do they make? Bow-wow is the sound a dog makes! Ruff-ruff, and woof are also acceptable. Frog def says, “ Ribbit!” Donkey says “ Hee-haw.” Bees zoom also, and say, “ Bzzzzz.”
Funny content, Feli 😊 Here’s how we say these in Czech: Dog - HAF Cat - MŇAU Rooster - KIKIRIKI Duck - KVAK Bird - PÍP Elephant - (not sure we have this one haha) Donkey - ÍÍÍHÁÁÁ Horse - (also not sure about this one) Cow - BŮŮŮ Goat - MÉÉÉ Sheep - BÉÉÉ
Thanks to your comment I searched it and yes, it is funny. Never watched it before, so thank you. I would assume that's a movie Feli has to watch right meow.
I recall my daughter watching the German cartoon, Dodo. When it was time to turn it if she always wanted to watch more because, “Daddy, I’m learning German. When she was 4 or 5 we flew Lufthansa and she spoke to the flight attendant in German. My wife and I were shocked. She said “I told you Dodo taught me German.”
My little brother watched english/american childrens TV on early saturday and sunday mornings. Every now and then he came and asked for the meaning of a word. I think, he could understand at least TV shows for preschool
That is so cool! 🤩 My mother tongue is Russian, an I have a couple of differences 😉 (German | English pronunciation unless you would pronounce them the same) A dog says "gaw | gav" or "av | af" A chicken says "kokoko" A baby chick says "piep | peep" A rooster says "kukareku | coo-ca-re-coo" A pig says "khrü-khrü | khrue-khrue" (it's a throat-y kh and we roll the r) While a frog also says "qua", a duck says "krya" 😉 A goose says "gagaga" A mouse says "pie-pie | pee-pee" A sparrow says "tschik-tschirik | cheek-cheereeek" or "tschiw-tschiw | cheev-cheev" A snake says "schhhh | shhhh" An owl says "uuuhuuu | ooohooo" 😁🤣🤣
The rooster sounds in both languages sound the farthest away from the actual sound the animal makes. It's fascinating that the actual sound is different for American vs German roosters. If you imitate a crow's cawing with the same rhythm as cock-a-doodle-doo, it will sound pretty close to a real American rooster.
A lot of animal names share a root in Englush and German, pronunciations in English having changed during the great vowel shift, but we get the word for the meat from French. Sheep from schaf is Germanic mutton from mouton is French. Cow from küh is Germanic beef from bœuf is French. Hound also used to be the standard word for dogs and no one is sure where the word dog comes from
Anglophone horses can also whinny, and donkeys bray, both of which are clearly onomatopoeia, but we don't use them to actually vocalize the animal, as we do with neigh and (to a lesser extent) hee-haw.
I don't know about American English, but in British English bow wow is one of the variants for 'what a dog says', though maybe a bit old-fasioned (English dogs also usually 'woof' those days).
Spanish rooster sound is very similar to German, kikiriki. The English term for an animal sound is an onomatopoeia..edit, as Ben said at 11:46. Singer Todd Rungren also has a song of the same name where he sings about these words, which I heard in the 80s on the Doctor Demento show, which also introduced Weird Al to the world. A donkey's is Hee-Haw and there was a popular country culture US show of the same name. I've had horse in Kazakhstan, chewy and gamey didn't care for it. One of my classmates hated the idea so I picked up a slice and said "hi ho silver, away!"
Dogs in English say “Ruff” and “Bow Wow” as well! Good to know the German, because my dog is a Schnauzer. 🤓 in Italian roosters say Chicchirichì, pronounced like the German.
Horse meat is awesome! I live in Canada and I married a Dutch woman and they eat horse meat there and that's how I was first introduced. If I go to the Dutch store here they sell horse meat. I've only been able to get it as sandwich meat at all the places I've been to. You should try it, it has a unique taste but it's not funky.
I'd guess in Kentucky Ben never heard any frog make a 'ribbit' sound, that's a movie thing, I think it's called the 'south pacific tree frog' or something like that and it's what you find around Hollywood and that's simply what they stock their sound archives with and use for every lake or jungle in the world even though it's completely wrong for most places. Yeah, I'm not sure if the 'töröö' for an elephant existed in German before the emergence of the 'Benjamin Blümchen' children's audio-plays in the 80s, cause I don't remember it at all from my childhood in the 70s. I looked it up, apparently Benjamin Blümchen is around since 1977 (when I was 6 years old) but I'm pretty sure I never heard about it since the mid to late 80s.
13:00 Tim Conway tells a funny story about elephants complete with sounds. he even gives the sound an elephant might make if it had a conjoined twin attached at the trunk. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3qqE_WmagjY.html
Rooster crows differently in different parts of the world. I'm not surprised that an American rooster crows differently than a German roosters. Then there's Asian roosters. Fun facts. the chicken was domesticated from the jungle fowls of Southeast Asia.
Cluck Cluck!! Says the chicken!! While we now add an “S” at the end to make it plural. However originally Old English or Anglo-Saxon, one would add an “EN” like in ox and oxen or child and children. Chicken was originally the plural of chick!
Birds also make tschiep in german, probably from the word tschilpen. If you do a part 2, you could ad the Uhu. Der Uhu macht Huhu 😉 ... And Schlange 🐍 zsssss.
So here I come with Vietnamese :D Dog: gâu gâu Cat: meo meo Pig: ủn à ủn ỉn Horse: the verb for it is "hí" but we don't have a word for the sound either ._. Goat: be (read as "behhhh") Rooster: ò ó o o Hen: cục ta cục tác Chick: chiếp chiếp
Dogs in Spanish = guau guau, in French = waff-waff. Cows in French = meuh. Chickens in Spanish = coc co co, French = Cotcotcodét. I heard someone actually did a study and found that animals in different countries actually do biologically sound different. Also, Ben, dogs also go "Arf Arf" in English. For example Snoopy cartoons have that in the speech bubble when he barks.
About the 'Quak': we also say a mouse and a bird make piep or pip, but that doesn't mean that they make the same sound. I think, that's the same in english. Greetings from Berlin 😎
For a frog, in addition to "ribbit", we would say it croaks (which is actually similar to your German sound), but we wouldn't usually say it says "croak", that's just the verb to describe what it's doing. Similarly, for a horse, we might say the horse whinnies. But again, it doesn't say "whinny", it says "neigh". But neigh can also be used as a verb. Also for a bullfrog, I've heard its sound described this way. Someone else asks: "How deep is the water?" Bullfrog answers (deep and low voice, like a frog sound): "Knee-deep...knee-deep...knee-deep"
I was glad to see an explanation of du and Sie. Especially for when speaking to the police. I have been using Duolingo for a couple languages and I just try to figure out why things the way they are because it’s not really explained. I wondered why they used Sie as I got farther into courses. I think they also called a chicken a hanchen. I have been trying to listen to podcasts and music and such just to try and pick up other ways of speaking German. My Mother was born in Germany after WW2 but since her parents and sibling have passed she has lost most of her German. I’ve been trying to pick her mind just ti get her to engage in it again. She speaks low German also which makes a little difference.
@@roykay4709 Close, it was filmed in 1972 and released in 1973! I asked because "Rockin' Robin" was one of the many classic oldies hits featured in the movie! There's a night scene in the movie where a HOUSE OF FABRICS store is clearly visible... remember when House of Fabrics and their competitor CLOTH WORLD both had stores all over the USA? Both of those chains were merged into the JO-ANN FABRICS & CRAFTS chain during the 90's. Many of the CLOTH WORLD stores were in old "five and dime store" buildings (Grants, Kresge, Woolworth, etc) which were barely changed at all when Cloth World moved into them in the 70's after the dime stores closed! Amazingly there still are many Jo-Ann stores today which are old Cloth World stores, and really haven't changed at all (the buildings have never been remodeled) in the last 50 years!
I’m learning German as someone who only knows Spanish and English. I swear I teared up when I FINALLY got that satisfying R sound😂 People think I’m weird for it, but Deutsch is a comforting language to me.
(Depending on what is being said and by whom and how) same here. I like the 'firm" aspect of the language, it's very steady, I don't know how else to describe it at this moment (I am tired.) I'm Dutch and German just has a very clear and "deutlich" tone, and most Germans I know, are very helpful and friendly. Then again, once the sentence is uttered by a policeman/woman that is telling me _why exactly_ i am not allowed to sit on the backside of a bicycle, the language adds to the rigid and unflexible behaviour of not letting me sit on the back of a bicycle and it's not comforting at all anymore.
Dogs say One in Japanese. Cats say Nya Chickens say Coke-Cocko, Chicks say Pi Pi Sparrow say Chun Chun, Crows say Car Car Elephants say Paoon Donkeys say MeEE Pigs say Boo Boo
In Flemish (Dutch) animals make these sounds: - Dog: waf waf or woef woef - Cat: miauw (same pronunciation as in German) - Rooster: kukeleku - Chicken: tok tok - Duck: kwak kwak - Frog: kwak kwak - Bird: piep piep or tsjilp tsjilp - Olifant: no word, just a sound - Donkey: IA - Pig: knor knor - Bee: zzzzz (zoemen is what the bee does, but the sound is zzzzz) - Horse: hi (pronunciation as 'he', but the 'e' must be long) - Cow: moe moe (same pronunciation as in German) - Sheep: meih meih - Goat: meih meih
This was hilarious! I speak Italian and a lot of our animal sounds sound like the German version actually just spelled differently. Definitely the rooster: chicchirichí
if you want to know more about his time in germany check out "german in venice " video about Elvis. btw. the German version of "wooden heart" is called "muss i denn" ( do i need to)
This was so fun! My first language was Japanese…dogs say Wan wan Roosters say ko keh kokoh Baby chicks (redundant) say Pio-pio (pee-oh pee-oh) Frogs say Gehroh -gehroh (r is like an L sound) In American English, chickens also say cluck-cluck And of course turkeys say gobble gobble Birds tweet-tweet Owls--whoooooo
You two are adorable together! It's great seeing you both--hope it's a good weekend! BTW, it used to be a joke: How do you tell if a dog is a German Shepherd? It barks with an accent. 🙂P.S. I was taught dogs go "bow wow" lol.
'bow-wow, ruff, arf-arf, woof. I've heard it all these ways in English. I think it depends on the size and type of dog. The only one of these that the spell checker marked as incorrect was arf-arf.
Actually, animals have different accents depending on where they are from. Both body and sound. So a German dog meeting an American dog might have some problems understanding each other at first.
Years and years ago, a dog got loose from the airport in my home town and they had a helluva job tracking it because it was from Hungary and they had to a find a native Hungarian dog trainer to call for it. All ended well, as I recall.
This is highly doubtful. I have had several dogs from different countries and they all had no problems with communication among themselves. But what is also simply because dogs communicate with each other with their body language and not with wau wau.
@@vonNachtmahr Yes but dogs understand a limited vocabulary in human language, but on y the one they have been trained in. A Hungarian dog trainer would have been needed to call the Hungarian equivalent of "here, Rover!"
@@peterzavon3012 My nephew (my brother and his wife are childless), an african breed of dog raised in america, was given commands in german. "Sitz!" (instead of sitzen) - sit. "Aus!" - out, or don't do that.
Sometimes in English we describe the sound a horse makes as a whinny (in addition to neigh). The sound a donkey makes is "hee haw" (there was a popular country-western TV show in the '60s and '70s called Hee Haw). Birds tweet (hence the association of that word on Twitter), but it is true that chicks peep, crows caw, and chickens cluck. For whatever reason, sometimes dogs say bow-wow.
Years ago I (a german) was trying to find out what kind of cheese was on offer in a tiny shop on Crete. The shopkeeper spoke only Greek, so we were communicating with sounds and hands... Turns out, a sheep goes "baaaaah" (deep voice), and a goat goes "määäääh" (higher voice). 😂
Horsemeat was poor people's meat in the last century, which over time has turned into a delicacy and low-fat healthy meat. As in the USA, one likes it in Germany only to a limited extent because nobody would eat a horse from the head. Incidentally, there is little horsemeat today because there is not a lot of it like in the last century and the century before.
Ben, you are so cute. Donkey says hee-haw, sheep says baaa, goat says maaaaand yes in some children's books dogs say woof, but also ruff or arf. This was a great video. Thanks Feli and Ben.
@jaytoser5212 OH my gosh, yes, with Roy Clark, who I love and Buck Owns, who I did not, and Minnie Pearl. It was so kitschy. I loved all the great music, but as a child, I thought the jokes were definitely 'dad' jokes. I knew they had to be because of television restrictions back then. Much of it was dumb, kind of dumb fun, though.
This was fun. At least in Cincinnati, donkeys Hee-HAW or they bray . . . and goats neigh or nay in American English. Baby birds peep. Chicks (baby chickens) can peep or cheep. But generally birds tweet. Dogs can woof, but they also can ruff. Elephants don't have a call but they trumpet. Snakes . . . Sssssss or hiss. Cats can also hiss when mad. Roosters can also "Crow" (a sound). Coyotes howl (we do have those in Cincinnati). You should have a 5 year old sing, Old McDonalds farm for you. Owls hoot or who. I'll try to think of some more.
When I was a kid, another common question was „wie macht der Fisch?“ / „What sound does a fish make?“ and I would always just open and close my mouth and do like a bubble sound 😂
The sound of a donkey actually gave an old late 60s/early 70s TV show its name - Hee Haw - Here is the opening for it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KBEreTkQbds.html
In England we speak English (clue in the Name). A kid would call a dog 'a Bow-Wow'. We don't use the word Rooster we say 'cock'. A frog would croak. A bird goes 'tweet'. Not quite an exact description but we would say an elephant would trumpet. And a bee would hum.
The song at 18:20 "Das rote Pferd" that Feli is singing can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EDh-7jtqDXM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JYkgSqpZ640.html It's a party/disco/dance song, which is very well known in Germany among younger people, and which exists in several music versions.
instead of "quak" my mom used to say a duck makes "nak" - there's home videos of her pointing out ducks to me when I was a toddler going like "look, it's a nak-nak!" etc. and apparently that stuck for some people who grew up in east germany (like my mom) because that was the sound that schnatterinchen (a puppet duck from east german children's tv, often seen on sandmännchen for instance) made. :)
in Swedish cow = ko and says mu. sheep = får and says bä. goat = get and says mä. bird = fågel and says pip. elephant = elefant and says tut. crow = kråka and says krax. rooster = tupp and says kuckeliku. dog = hund and says vov/voff. cat = katt and says mjau / mjao. horse = häst and says gnägg. duck = anka and says kvack. frog = groda and says kuack. donkey = åsna and says hihaw. owl = uggla and says hoo hoo.
