4:25 ah, you actually did good research in to our dutch traditions👍 but you dont pronounce it as sintaclass or whatever you are saying but I can let that slide😁
Beau Bezemer sinterklaas wordt gevierd op 6 december in vlaanderen en in nederland, kerstmis wordt gevierd op 25 december met de kerstman. Translate for english
Heyy Grian, I was just rewatching old video's and wanted to give a quick explanation of Christmas and the other holiday in The Netherlands. So on the 5th of December we celebrate 'Sinterklaas.' We give each other presents and stuff. But that is mostly for kids around the age 3 - 11. And then we have 'Kerstmis' what is the same as 'Christmas.' We call Santa Claus: 'De Kerstman' translated as 'The Christmas Man.' It's weird I know, lol. In general 'Dutch' is a weird and hard to learn language. That was my "quick" explanation. And great video. Byee x
@@PieDente yess! but some people in the netherlands are making arguments about saying 'zwarte piet' what translates as 'black piet' because they think it's racist.. so now we have all coloured pieten haha
xRoosjeTijger oh my dutch friend, I live a few meters away your border. The language isnt that hard! Maybe i just think that because our dialect almost sounds like Dutch xD. And I hate it when English people cant pronounce words normally... BRATWURST
Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan...and in finland its like its own word joulu pukki its comes from some tradition that involves goat so its like Christmas goat but no so much like Christmas goat
In the Netherlands we indeed have Sinterklaas, but it’s basically an extra holiday because we also celebrate Christmas. We call him ‘de kerstman’ wich translates to Christmasman
Playlist Person Have you ever heard of Australia? We have stinking hot Summers! Yours aren’t even that bad! We don’t get snow, but we do get scorching hot Summers!
5:15 Its B Rolling R (like, Its-a-me, Mario) A (like in father, not like in fall, male or man) T W U (like fool, not full, but short) Rolling R again S T = Bratwurst Type it into Google Translate and let it pronounce it. :D
it pronounces it as Its B Rolling R (like, Its-a-me, Mario) A (like in father, not like in fall, male or man) T W U (like fool, not full, but short) Rolling R again S T = Bratwurst Type t into Google Translate and let it pronounce it. :D
DONT YOU DARE SAY WE HAVE CHRISTMAS EARLY, WE ALSO HAVE CHRISTMAS YOU KNOW. The whole story is that the european brought sinterklaas to america (with the slavery and business and all) and then they changed it to santa claus, and then they brought santa claus back to europe. Oh btw, i'm from the netherlands if you hadn't noticed
I'm in U.S. We call him Santa Clause and we do the Elf on the Shelf tradition. Basically it's a stuff animal elf and each night you hide him and when the kids get up they will see him in the morning in a different spot. You tell them that he is Santa's helper and he's watching behavior and every night he goes to the North Pole and tells Santa how each kid was and he comes back in a different place in the morning. Hope that makes sense.
Lmao, when Grian tried to pronounce "Sinterklaas" i was littary laughing out loud. My mom asked me why. Told her a youtuber said Sinterklaas. She thinks im crazy.
@@migats2160 santaclaus is based on sinterklaas, when dutch people immigrated to America their children missed sinterklaas. So they decided to make someone similar. And the dude with red and white clothing, and a beard is kinda made by Coca-Cola. Same colours as the logo.
@@annasanders8690 ook gewoon Grian vind ons raar aangezien hij denkt we kerst vroeg vieren Onder tussen Nederlanders: ja we zijn raar maar om een andere reden wij hebben namelijk zowel Sinterklaas en Kerst
Here we have Saint Nicholas as a separate Saints day. Saints day? That is a tradition here. Every house has it's protector among the saints in our culture. Christmas is on 7th and 8th of *January* and on the evening 6th of January we have... a special meal... (basically Thanksgiving meal).
here in the netherlands we have sinterklaas on december 5th. but its not the same as christmas. sinterklaas is basically the dutch version of santa. we call santa "kerstman", because "kerst" means christmas. oh and christmas lasts 2 day's here! :)
‘Sinterklaas’ is not exactly the same as ‘Santa/Father Christmas’, some of us in Belgium and in the Netherlands have ‘Sinterklaas’ and ‘Santa/Father Christmas’ although we say ‘Kerstman’ :) Also when we have the party thing from ‘Sinterklaas’ we also get oranges lol
Yeah sinterklaas is on 6/5 december for me in Belgium it's 6 december and i love it bc i get free mandarijnen(sorry i dont know what it is in english) and i get free presents
Hi Grian! In Finland we have joulupukki witch strantlates to christmas buck xD. The traslation doesn't realy make sense but the finnish word means santaclaus/fatherchristmas. And here it is said that santa lives in Korvatunturi in Lapland, not in the northpole! :D
You really should bring your old type of content back between hermitcraft - like drawing badly, transforming structures (man those were cool and you’ve definitely improved on your building you should do it again), build time lapses, BUILD SWAP… Its really cool
Isn't it funny that he done homer alone and I'm watching the simpsons and the episode is Homer being alone..? No okay. Edit: Yus, 18 likes I'd the most I got....ya I'm bad at commenting.
Ok ok ok, when Martyn yelled "oH mY gOsH, wHaT's ThIs?! *i LoVe It!!!* " I laughed, SO hard because he sounded exactly like Mort from The Penguins of Madagascar🤣🤣🤣
OMG GRIAN TALKED ABOUT THE NETHERLANDSSS!!! I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW HE EVEN TALKED ABOUT OUR SINTERKLAAS AND IT WAS SO FUN HEARING HIM TRYING TO PRONOUNCE IT XD ! I LOVE IT
That "Sinterklaas" is from Belgium and the Netherlands. He gives presents to all kids on the 6th of December. Legend says he is originally from turky, in Europe. He saved black kids from slavery, and in return, they help him. We also have Christmas, and that person is called "de Kerstman", which mean "the Christmas Man". The helpers of Sinterklaas would throw candy, chocolate and oranges. I'm from Belgium and I know what I'm talking about.
trollopim yeah, he lives in Spain, but originally he's from Turky. And in Belgium, he comes around during the night of 5 and 6 December. I'm sorry for not mentioning that
I'm English too! :3 I don't know about you, Grian, but I'm in the south-eastern-ish area, in a town called •••••••••••• (For privacy reasons I won't give exact! :3) which is slightly east of London. I call Father Christmas "Santa" because I grew up knowing him as that. When I was really young I called him "Father Christmas". My stocking is normally got chocolate coins (My Dad pretends my cats wrap them because it's hard to get wrapping paper around those bags! xD), a box of chocolate, a tube of candy like Fruit Pastilles (Please don't question why I call it the American way "candy" not the Englih way "sweets"! :/ I just think "candy" makes more sense as some candy can be bitter or sour!). As well as small presents like pens or a notebook! (I like drawing a lot so I need a LOT of notebooks!) xD Anyway, that's all I really have to say on traditions at my home! :3 Except that my family only has a cheap, pop up, pre-decorated tree! We used to have a real one but my Mum got rid of it because she's a grinch. :| Bye! ^-^
In the Netherlands and Belgium At Sinterklaas their comes someone named Sinterklaas in the night and gives a lot of pressents. At Christmas we put pressents under the three for sertent people and open the pressents that we got on Christmas eve.
It's "Weihnachtsmann" for Santa and "Weihnachten" for Christmas, which we celebrate on the evening of the 24th of December. In Germany we also celebrate "Nikolaus" at the 6th of December. "Weihwasser" is the German name for holy water. Please use a translator, if you don't know the right word in another language.
I don't wanna be one of those "who's watching in 2019? People but i hope someone sees this. I know it's probably already thought of but I just thought of it now: elf but you take away a letter so it's el and it's a drawing of will Ferrell in a sombrero.
Sinterklaas is on the fifth or the sixt of december and most of the time we celebrate both Christmas as sinterklaas but we don't believe in Santa we just buy presents for each other hahah... Greetings from belgium!
When the netherlands owned New York (then called New Amsterdam) we brought the holliday of Sinterklaas to America. As the journey took several days it was celebrated later in the year and was called Santa Claus. When amercanisation started Sant Claus was brought to the Netherlands. We dutch people basiccaly celebrate the same holliday twice
THANK YOU!!!!! DIE HARD IS NOT A CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!!! My dad basically starts Christmas when Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi tower. It’s so annoying. Just because it’s set at Christmas doesn’t make it a Christmas movie just like how being set in 1942 doesn’t make Captain America a WWII movie
Grian, we have sinterklaas and christmas in the netherlands, sinterklaas is an old guy coming to the netherlands with a steamboat and he gives really small presents untill the big presents come, the evening is called pakjesavond, and christmas is just christmas
Christmas Goat... Okay, so it's just like Father Christmas the translation is the one that makes it sound little dumb because in Finnish it's called Joulupukki, joulu meaning Christmas and pukki meaning a goat. And Christmas gnomes are just like elves, but usually portrayed as children and really rarely as adults. And in Finland Joulupukki doesn't come through fireplace to deliver the presents, Joulupukki visits homes to deliver them on 24th of December. On a side note: People actually do work as Joulupukki. They are given the presents they need to give to the children by parents and during the evening they will come and visit and deliver the presents. This is one of the best parts of Christmas and I remember all the memories of Santa visiting and how I actually thought he was the real deal. And also, there is this place called Joulupukin pajakylä = Santa Claus Village in Lapland Finland. You can meet Santa and such in there. In Finland, it's also kinda insulting to say that Joulupukki/Father Christmas lives in the North Pole because here it's said that he lives in Finland.
Lapland is nowhere close to the north pole. Lapland is northern parts of both Sweden and Finland. Most northern part of Finland is at least 3000 to 4000 kilometers away from Northpole. So yeah, they aren't even close.
the tradition of a piece of fruit, be it a satsuma or any other type and some money is a blessing, to say that you'll never go hungry and you will always have wealth of some form.. its a very old tradition which has somewhat been lost over the years, its very sweet that your mother carries that on for you
Grian for Knightmare Before Christmas, you should've done a mare (female horse) dressed as a knight. P.S I'm from America and we just call him Santa mainly.
The first thing that popped into my head was a horse wearing a bigger version of those ridiculous dog costumes that make them look like people I need to draw this
I'm actualy Dutch, and "SinterKlaas" is sort of the same as christmas, but we also have the "kerstman" that littarly translates to "christmas man", but not everyone here in the Netherlands celabrates christmas ( also, almost every RU-vidr that has tried to speak Dutch doesn't know how to, so don't worry about that )
