Everything You Need to Know About Luxembourg 

When you boil it down there's no good reason why any country exists, other than that the people that live on that land want it to exist. The reason they want it to exist is usually because the countries next to them don't want them to exist, and it would be awkward if they lived in the same country.

I actually love using them, but I make sure to only use them for the end screens (where they're actually appropriately used). I still remember the days when we had to use annotations for that, though.

@@KhAnubis right, but your video already ended, some put it at like really good moments, and you can't see sheit

Thanks what they want you to think.

A girl in my school covered it red white light blue I said it's luxembourgish

Can you send a message in a mix of languages for a bit of fun I suppose?

Hi! My father is living in Luxembourg and this year I'm gonna start living there and I have lots of cuestions about the country and the educational system since I'm living in Spain and know ther's literally no one who can answer my doubts, so if you are reading this and you can help me I would thank a lot. 1- Does every one over 15 years speak english? Or ''only'' german, french and luxemburgish? 2- How's school in there? How many students are in a class? 3- Is people nice there? I know this might depend but I'm super nervous about having to speak in french the whole time and I'm not capable to speak german or luxemburgish, so I feel insecure about being alone because of the lenguage 4- In french when you first meet a new classmate (like 14 years old, like me), you have to speak with ''vous'' or ''tu'' beacause here in spain we rarelly speak with ''vous'' unless it's a very old person (we never say ''vous'' to the teachers, for example) 5- Please, could you tell me some cool places to hang out with friends? It's not a really big country so there are lots of aviable experiences that I would love to archive in order to be more integrated with the locals. 6- Are there as many portuguese people as they say? If it's true it would be great for me because portuguese is really similar to spanish Thanks for reading! (and maybe answering) And sorry if my english is not very well, I did as well as I could

@@icebear8985 yo I just saw your comment, are you living in Luxembourg right now or still in Spain? I'd love to help if you still have any questions. There's also a subreddit r/Luxembourg where you can ask various questions about the country

@@EvilTaco I'm already here! But thank you for answering me

@@icebear8985 how is it? Did you get here before covid started or during the pandemic?

Thanks! I really want to do more of these in the future for other small/somewhat obscure countries.

@@KhAnubis Do the Faroe Islands bro!

It does kind of sound like that out of context, but given Luxembourg's size and history, it does make more sense.

we do hate change

@@SKaleLP yep.

Europe should adopt that moto

In Dutch that sentence would be “Wij willen blijven wat wij zijn”, which looks a lot like that sentence tbh

Hi @Ice bear . I doubt that you still need this, but: Yes, everyone speaks English. It’s really common for people to speak at least 4 languages. It really depends for each school, but I’d say that less than in Spain. Yup, everyone is super nice. And don’t worry ab not speaking Luxembourgish there. I’ve lived for 14 years in Luxembourg and still don’t know any. No, we don’t really speak in “vous”, just take a friendly approach. There aren’t many places to hang out, but the city centre is fine. You can also go to the cinemas and to the Auchamp supermarket in Kirchberg. It’s true that there are many Portuguese people, but it’s not like something you really notice

True.

Benelux FOREVER!

Austria, Luxemburg - and Liechtenstein were excluded! May there could be a video about Liechtenstein?

Luxemburg didn’t became a part of Germany because it was ruled by the Dutch and probably wouldn’t have been german if Austria united it either.

French or german, everyone there speaks lots of lenguages, since they have been learning them since kindergarten and more than a half of their population are foreigners (most people speaks english too). This might sound confusing so to clear things up just speak in french, even the kids understand you

Probably German since luxembourgish is a German dialect which you can understand pretty good if you know german.

I did this while spending a few days in Frankfurt. The 4-hour journey each way definitely stretched the definition of "day-trip" a bit for me.

Dein Land ist sehr schön. :)

Yeah, it seems true but I haven't seen Commonwealth Realms being considered as such and I think the biggest reason is that they all descend from the British Empire and not completely foreign countries that agreed to the same monarch.

It’s basically just the German dialect with some French words like merci

@@schwarzer0se463 If one third of the words means "some" for you, and another large part of (pre-industrialisation) words having no relation to german nor french, you'd be correct.

@@Carbonideus fun fact: luxembourgish is not 1/3 french. :) I’m from south Hesse and I can understand luxembourgish perfectly because it is basically the same dialect. And every dialect has its own words, that’s the point of dialects.

@@schwarzer0se463 Yeah, what do I know? It's only my native language, you, on the other hand, being a german surely know better.

@@Carbonideus yes, it seems like I do know better, because I know what a dialect is. You sound like you don’t know what a dialect is. de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxemburgische_Sprache

🤷‍♂️

basically, Luxembourg needed a lot of people for labour, because of our small population and there were political issues in Portugal

They didn't 'end democracy', they just didn't allow for him to become a figurehead as Elisabeth II is or pretty much all constitutional monarchies have become, also termed "crown republics".

@@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions Nope, since 2008 he only has representational functions.

@@Carbonideus Source?

@@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions Have a look here (sorry, only in french) : fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loi_sur_l%27euthanasie_et_l%27assistance_au_suicide. Basically, after refusing to sign a new law on euthanasia, the powers of the Grand Duke have been stripped so that he henceforth only promulgates (makes known) new laws, but no longer sanctionates (approves and makes them official) any new law.

@@Carbonideus Yeah, you're right! I always confuse them with Lichtenstein, whose prince hasn't lost those powers (yet?🤷‍♂️).
