Comparison of European Languages: VEHICLES 

In Polish submarine is łódź podwodna. Word "podwodny" itself means underwater We have a lot of words for van, but bus and dostawczak are most commonly used

a few "mistakes" about words used in portugal: not "trem" but "comboio", not "ônibus" but "Autocarro", not "balsa" (never heard that word before) but "ferry" and not "van" but "carrinha". Probably words from Brasil. Nice video

Iceland and Greenland use the most complicated word for train, meanwhile having no trains at all.

in Bulgarian we don't use velosiped as the primary word for bike. We mostly call it " kolelo " which in literal translation means "Wheel". If we're being more official in our speech, then yes, we'd probably use "velosiped" instead, but in casual conversations most people would call it " kolelo ". Also nobody ever calls a helicopter as "vertolet" anymore. You'd sometimes hear elderly people call it that, but nobody under the age of 50 would call it that. We call it "helikopter" instead, the same way it would be in English.

In Hungarian, we can use kocsi for car. Interestingly, this is the source of English coach and similar European words. Vonat, while unrelated to Zug and train, this meaning is a calque of them because it comes from the same idea, namely to pull (or "von"). Also, we do have bicikli. Slang terms include: bringa, bicaj, bicó, canga etc. Busz is short for autóbusz, so is repülő for repülőgép. Csónak is a Slavic borrowing, and we do say kamion more often than teherautó. Interestingly, villamos comes from "villany" (electricity). A more formal (and longer) way to say ferry or komp is átkelőhajó (transfer ship). Van is "furgon" in Hungarian since no one says kisteherautó. Finally, motor is used instead of motorkerékpár (it means car engine as well).

In Czech, we say plane as "letadlo", and not "letoun". Letoun is more like a fighter plane, fighter jet. And boat is "loď" in Czech, similarly to Polish/Russian. "Člun" is just a specific word for a small boat for like 4 people maybe, with paddles.

Thank you! A few comments: The Swedish, Danish, Faroese, Icelandic and Greenlandic words for "tram" (spårvagn, sporvogn, sporvognur) does not share etymology with German "Straßenbahn" and should therefore have another colour. "Spårvagn"/"sporvogn" consists of "spår"/"spor" (track) and "vagn"/"vogn" (wagon, carriage), while the German word consists of "Straße(n)" (street(s)) and "Bahn" (route, trail). So, "track wagon" vs "street trail". Since the French word for "bike" is "vélo" I think France should not have the same colour as the "bicicleta" countries, as it does now, but as the "velociped" countries. The Norwegian word for "train" given here (jernbanetog) means "railway train". I think they usually say only "tog". At least "tog" is the "heaviest" part of the word ("Jernbane-" just specifies what kind of "tog" it is, since the word can have a few other meanings as well), and because of that I think that Norway should have the same colour as Sweden, Germany etc. And last, we usually don't say "undervattensbåt" but only "ubåt" (shortened form) in Sweden. Even in like TV news they would talk about it as "ubåt".

In Estonian: * "jalgratas" and "mootorratas" are both typically shortened to just ratas. There's also "motikas" for motorcycle and "velo" for bicycle - "ratsu" and "jalku"/"pedla" respectively and much more rarely. * "Veoauto" isn't technically wrong, but everybody use "veok" instead - as for trucks (roadtrain), those are "rekka" * helicopter is typically shortened to "kopter" * "Parvlaev" tends to go more into cruise ship 🚢 category (flat bottomed); those which just carry cars over rivers or between isles are "praam"; entirely flat, or what kids may build from logs and/or barrels onto a pond, is "parv". * "kaubik" specifically refer to cargo-van (derived from "kaup", meaning cargo; goods) Trivia * vehicle is "sõiduk" - it's often used synonymously for "auto". Cars are informally often referred to as "käru"(cart) * Train engine is "vedur" - it's also used for tractors and tow trucks/ships. * Old term for "takso"/"delivery-service" is "voor", thus nowadays "takso" refers to engine powered vehicles, while "voor" to animal-driven...

Finnish "auto" and Swedish "bil" come from the same word "automobile", but in Finnish it's the start of the word "automobiili" whereas in Swedish it's the end of the word "automobil". 😊

Nice video😊

I always look forward to these videos. The Sicilian translations are optimal! I would just add, you can also say cammiu and camiuni for truck. Some other words can be written more precisely considering the use of Sicilian prefixes and suffixes: autubussu or autubussi; trammi; vurguni; tratturi; and suttamarinu.

In Italy they usually say Macchina not Auto

For Bosnian, it's čamac for boat. You can also say biciklo and motor for bicycle and motorcycle.

In Turkish, We call Van as Minibüs or Minivan, not as Furgon. Furgon is false, Minibüs or Minivan is correct.

In Romanian we also use ”furgoneta”, ”van”... ”Camioneta” we use when it does not have the back like a hermetically closed box with tin, but possibly with a tarp.

I'd say "ship" in Belarusian is "карабель" (karabiel'), and "судна" is a swimming vessel. We also use "човен" (choven) for a small boat, but mostly for a dugout canoe. As for the bicycle it really depends on a region. In my region we use "веламашына" (velamashyna) and I've heard about "лісапета" (lisapeta). For a van we would use "бусік" (busik) - literally a small bus :)

Why is spanish "coche" made in the same color as "auto"?

In Ukraine,the word for Helicopter, is Helikopter, its very commonly used

The van is not Furgon in turkish but minibüs is appropriate

The word for "Bus" in european portuguese is "Autocarro", the word "onibus" is super archaic in europe (it was also used in Spanish) and nowadays I believe it's pretty much only used by Brazilians.

In italiano d'abitudine si dice Macchina e non auto. Esiste anche il termine Vettura ma è più generico.

In french auto and automobile are used often

In German, there's also Wagen.

For van in dutch, you can also say "Busje"

The Danish word for taxi is actually taxa. Interesting that Iceland has imported the word "bil". They are very reluctant to import words. They have not imported "bus", which was formed in he same way. From "automobil" and "omnibus" respectively.

We use usually "Araba" not "Otomobil" or "Oto". Yeah we also have those words for car but most of time you'll hear araba in Türkiye. For bicycle, some Turkish people say "Velespit" similar to Russian "Velosiped", it's south and southeastern accent. We never use "Furgon" (I never heard it) we use "Kamyonet" like French "Camionette" for van.

I never knew barca meant boat in several Romance languages like Catalan, Spanish, Italian and Romanian

In italiano abbiamo sempre detto Pullman e lo usiamo ancora, e non autobus. Con la globalizzazione è entrata a far parte la parola Autobus

6:58 its trekker in dutch. But a lot of dutch people say Tractor

In dutch you've two words for ferry "Veerboot" and "Veerpont" or just "pont"

In Catalan , we don't say helicóptero , we say helicòpter .

In italiano usiamo anche il termine Battello (boat).

As a Polish from south part of State for vehicle we mostly using word auto not "samochod" auto is far more accurate word than "samochod" for vehicle which is more popular in central or east Poland

In italiano Furgone si dice anche Camionetta

In Ukrainian train isn't poyizd it is potyag'

Again in dutch two words for submarine "Onderzeeboot" and "Onderzeëer".

Leoforeio seems more portuguese than greek

why romanian has "masina" but russian "avtomobil'"? :)

00:20 Greek *αυτοκίνητο* /aftocí.nito/ (n.) should have the same colour with (most of) the Germanic, Romance and Slavic words for it, as it's a calque for the French *automobile* 03:20 Greek *λέμβος* /lém.vos/ (f.) is _dinghy_ the word for _boat_ is *βάρκα* a 6th c. loanword from Late Latin *barca* in Byzantine Greek as *βάρκα* /βár.ka/ (f.).
