Geography Now! PARAGUAY 

The strangest Latino nation on earth. It's like backwards New Zealand.... With Harps and stuff. We found a REAL Paraguayan at the last second with her Guarani-speaking mom to guest star in the show! Thanks Marianne! And thanks to all the Paraguayan geograpeeps that helped us with this episode! ....Oh and don't forget to get a KEITH T-SHIRT!

Ahhh is was so fun filming this! Thank you again, barbs!

Country in south america:exists Bolivia: *we don't talk about that*

2:37 paraguayans would jokingly say "ParaWHY" each time someone does something stupid, and here we have, a guy who did the opposite using "anyguay" lmao

Pistol duels are not legal in Paraguay.

*South America:* Today, we're doing a history lesson. *Bolivia:* We don't talk about that.

HE DID IT. HE BROUGHT UP RUTHERFORD B HAYES

Proud to be Filipino of Paraguayan descent🇵🇭❤️🇵🇾

"Paraguay has been through a lot of wars" Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay : we don't talk about that 👀

The fact that you involve your fans in the making of these episodes and went as far as having a viewer host a segment is the type of content we deserve more of in this world. Great episode! I love the energy!

One thing Keith could've mentioned in the music section: there's a thrash metal band called Corrosión that sings in Guarani, it's pretty cool

cuando menos lo eperabas, jaka hablando ingles ,que locooo

Y’all forgot about the recycled orchestra😩 kids created a whole orchestra made from bottles, scrap, trash etc they found in a landfill!

“Has the worlds largest land locked navy” Switzerland approves

Marianne was so awesome! She did such a good job with her culture segment

The word that can mean anything is "ma'era", ma'ena means feeling sorry for someone

love paraguay, from Taiwan. puro aguante paraguay, gente hermosas

You forgot to mention the strong relation Colombia and paraguay have. Colombia was the only nation who supported Paraguay in the war against Argentina, Brasil and Uruguay. They even said that every Colombian have Paraguayan citizenship and vice versa 🇨🇴🇵🇾

Editor went a bit overboard with the pics of large chested Paraguayan girls haha

My South American history professor said in class “don’t mess with these guys they’re like the Germany of South America, it takes everyone to put them down.”

Saludos a la maravillosa gente de Paraguay! ¡País muy querido! 🇧🇷 ❤️ 🇵🇾

I'm Taiwanese and Paraguay is our best friend in South America, and also antipodes of us!

Paraguayan here! Loved this, thank you! Unfortunately I'm not fluent in Guarani as I happen to be a part of that weird German-speaking Mennonite minority, but I'm proud to call myself a Paraguayan!

I’m one of the german mennonites but we don’t wear the dorky clothes in the pictures haha. We’re pretty much like all the other “paraguayans” but we speak german and low german. Some have also learned Guaraní but most don’t. We learn spanish in school so many of us have a heavy accent. We eat asado and sopa paraguaya and drink tereré all day cuz it’s hot over here☀️ I was born in Canada but I feel like a real chaqueña (someone who lives in the Gran Chaco). Rohayhu Paraguay 🇵🇾

I must say that this is the longest video anyone in the English world has ever made about Paraguay. I learned a lot about my home country with you guys. WOW! Great job!

You missed a great info! That one musician that appeared in your notable citizens section (Luis Alberto del Paraná) played for Queen Elizabeth alongside the Beatles!

Support to Paraguay from Taiwan!

I lived in Asuncion, Paraguay and Paraguayans are the most loving and kind people I’ve ever met. The traffic is really bad sometimes so bring your mountain bike for the wild sidewalks and obstacles. It’s a blast! This country is huge in my heart.

Marianne was amazing loved her culture section! Also her mom interrupting to correct her is such a universal mom thing to do.

Pretty sure these guys have taught me more geography than my actual geography teacher 😂

Yes, the writer Augusto Roa Bastos is in fact a very important author in literature written in Spanish. And no, I am not from Paraguay, but from Spain, if that proves something.

Fun fact. Agustin Pio Barrios, aka "Mangore" was like, the most progressive guitar player of his time. Being the first to ever record a guitar solo record in history (allegedly). The guy was a total alien!

Love this little country 🇵🇾 from Australia 🇦🇺

Ayyyy. My country is next. Paraguay is very interesting. When I was kid, i used to cheer for them during the world cup. Vamos Peru y Paraguay. Saludos desde Perú

Paraguayan here... most of the info is true, but the currency bills OMG they're already 10+ years out of circulation due to inflation, the newest bills are: - 2.000Gs. - 5.000Gs. - 10.000Gs. - 20.000Gs. (almost 5USD) - 50.000Gs. - 100.000Gs. (little bit les than 15 USD) Coins: - 50Gs. - 100Gs. - 500Gs. - 1.000Gs. - the Caacupe Cathedral located in the Caacupe City was planned to be bigger and with a completely different architecture but due to the lack of budget it was redesigned and finished much later than expected, but today it's a landmark for the Catholic population in our nation. Every year, December 8th people walk from their Cities to Caacupé. Asunción from Caacupé it´s 60Km (37 Miles) and from Ciudad del Este 273Km (160 Miles) to celebrate the mass in the Cathedral in honor to our Virgen María. We´ve seen people walking even kneeling from those kind of distances paying their promises to our Virgen María. - Caacupé means: Ka'a (Herb/bush) Kupé (behind) --- Behind the bushes. - the way we cook barbecue (or locally called "asado" like our brothers from Argentina and Uruguay) is SO different that you would taste different flavors in the same meat cut when different people from different nations cook... i say this cos i've met friends from both countries and it's different... and it's good! - people from other countries that i've met some time in the past told me that our city is that have most trees comparing to other main cities in the world. we try to preserve them as much as we can! - Itaipú hydroelectric energy is the largest one in the planet, and yes it's the greenest possible energy in the south american region. - as far as i was told, the Guarani language is the second most complicated to master, the first one is Afrikaans (it may have change by now) and it costs 50€ per hour in France to learn the language because of its similarities in the pronunciation. As food reference (currency exchange at August 4, 2020): - 2USD (regular price for most people in the working segment), 5 to 10USD (to Executive and Businessmen) to lunch - coffee costs from 2USD up to 5USD (most expensive at high-level places) - a sandwich regularly costs 1USD at supermarkets - 500ml of Coca-Cola costs 0,73USD minimum, maximum (at mass events like Concerts) 2,7USD Wages: - minimum for people without profession or other labor without a college degree: ~306,7USD *per month - the minimum acceptable for people who have college degree titles: ~656USD / if specialized up to 1200USD or 1500USD *per month Minimum prices of lease in Asuncion (prices varies according to the landlord or RE Agency): - Small room with one bathroom for one person: 100USD - Small house with 2 bedrooms, living room and garage for 2 people and a child: 200USD and from there it only goes up according to location Weather: - At all times we are almost 100% confident that if it's winter, it's going to be a VERY humid one the same for the summer. - Summer feels hotter because of the humidity. As an example: today it's August 3, 2020, plain winter, and at noon it was 30 degrees Celsius! (86F) right now at 11:10pm its 22 degrees (72F) but the forecast for the whole week goes to that range of temperature. In summer the minimum temperature its 27 or 28 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 48 degrees Celsius in Asuncion with a humidity (depending on the weather humor up to 100% and BELIEVE ME, it feels hotter than normal, i much rather the dry heat). i hope i filled some info curiosity people may have.... kind regards from Asunción, Paraguay! :D

A fun fact is since we have a lot of import taxes here in Brazil, and Paraguay has not, Ciudad del Este economy is based basically by Brazilians traveling to there and buying stuff for the half price. (actually I've been there 3 times just to do that! 😂😂)

Saluti al meraviglioso Paraguay dall'Italia ✊💓

*Love* *to* *paraguay* from *Portugal*

I loved the way you pronounced "Terrerre" hahaha

fun fact, guarani is also a scientific lanaguage next to Latin. Also pineapples originated in paraguay!

in Spain we tend to say "guay del Paraguay!", which translates as "that's cool like Paraguay!"

I have no idea that Paraguay is very interesting nation.thanks geography fam! Greetings from the Philippines

Soy de Paraguay y es realmente lindo que hablen sobre mi país

The plant used for the carrulim is called "ruda" not ruta. The name of the drink comes from the combination of the ingredients name's Ca(ña) = distilled sugar cane Ru(da) = the plant Lim(ón) = lemon

Love Paraguay from EGYPT ❤❤❤

Much love to Paraguay from your friends in Pakistan! :)

Hola soy de Paraguay y estoy muy impresionado con su investigación sobre mi país, me alegro

I’ve finally learned about an Indigenous language that wasn’t repressed and had a happy story

Colombia fue el único país que ofreció ayuda a Paraguay durante la guerra de la Triple alianza 🇨🇴❤️ 🇵🇾

I love this country. I lived there with my family for 5 years and consider it my second home...Rohayhu Paraguay!!!

17:41 it's spelled: "Rohayhu Paraguay" and it means "I love Paraguay", good video ;)

As an American linguist, I'm super jealous of Paraguay for having actually preserved the native language. If only we had done the same...

"Paraguay and Brazil are always going to be buddies at the end of the day" 🇵🇾🇧🇷🤝

This really is amazing lol, I'm going to add subs in Spanish so that more Paraguayans can understand this video and make their day a bit happier

Hello from Croatia 💞 Our flags are similar 🇵🇾 🇭🇷 🇵🇾 🇭🇷 🇵🇾

Do you have any "guay" joke left for Uruguay episode? (Greetings from Uruguay!)

Fact: it’s been over 2 years since GN made an episode for a South American country!!

Paraguayan here, and yes, in the middle of the jungle you can find people who speak english or german XD

The Paraguayan girl wow just wow she’s beautiful.

The way Keith pronounces ''Botella'' is insane.

Suggestion for a "filler video" when needed: Differences between the "gauchos" (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and South Brazil - Rio Grande do Sul). Fun fact: northen you go, colder the Mate drink is. In Argentina is way hotter, and in Rio de Janeiro the leafs are dried first, then boiled, than added tons of sugar.

I can't believe Larissa Riquelme made it into this episode, she's like the rachet version of kim K, if even that.

PARAGUAY: WE SPEAK SPANISH WHILE MAINTAINING OUR INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE. PHILIPPINES: MAN, I SHOULD HAVE BE LIKE YOU!!!! Saludos desde Filipinas!!! 😁😁😁

2 years waiting... never been so happy about a single video in my entire life

You can tell that the girl from Paraguay is trying hard not to burst into laughter whilst doing the culture section!

lmao paraguayan-korean here, this is hilarious

"You don't see many Paraguayans outside Paraguay" .. Well.. I live in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and there's A LOT of Paraguayans here... You can tell when suddenly you're on the bus and the people in the back seats start speaking a weird language, you turn specting to see japaneses or something like that, but its just Paraguayans speaking Guaraní. Also, you'll find A LOT of paraguayans as construction workers here.. and everyone speaks Guaraní between each others.. Greetings!

Saludos hermanos Paraguayos... desde Rep. dominicana en el caribe.

Aw, that was nice of you to invite these two very likable Paraguayans into your show. Nice touch :)

Barbs: "Milanesa cutlet is a famous typical dish" Italian viewer: "hmm don't think so" Barbs:" 40% of population has italian ancestry" Italian viewer: "Ok now I'm cool with it"

Como brasileño, puedo decir que és increíble tener como veciños los paraguayos. Y ya desculpome por lo español terrível

Hola paraguayos, soy brasileño y me encanta beber tereré. Saludos de Brasil

youre doing a great job not just for geography but for humanity by showing everyone that people from countries all over the world are just lovely humans like you and me. thanks for that!

No entendí casi nada •_• , pero me ENCANTÓ!!!! Saludos desde Capiata- Paraguay, ❤🇵🇾

I am Mexican - America & I would love to visit el corazon de America !!! I would also live to attend a Olimpia vs Cerro porteno game & now I know where the stadium el defensors del Chaco got its name from lol saludos mis Hermanos parugayos

Hello! Great episode as usual, but I have some remarks. Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia was indeed a dictator, but his legacy was positive to Paraguay. Essentially he didn't allow the growth of a class of powerful landowers, as opposed of the rest of the region. This allowed their succesors, Carlos Antonio López and his son Francisco Solano, to begin the country's industrialization. Paraguay was the first south american country with telegraphs, trains and steelworks. That was abruptly stopped for the Triple Alliance War. War that, unlike what you probably heard, Paraguay didn't seek. It's also worth mentioning in paraguayan history the Chaco War. In regards to mate and tereré, they are both consumed here in Argentina as well. In fact is a typical beverage in all the Río de la Plata basin. Greetings from Buenos Aires.

Marianne has such a gorgeous smile

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩 Paraguay 🇵🇾🇵🇾🇵🇾🇵🇾🇵🇾

Marianne's and her mother's appearance made this videos even more great!

I have been looking forward to this episode so much. Not only because of how well the paraguayans have preserved their guaraní culture, but the fact that the last South America episode was released over two years ago (Guyana). Love to 🇵🇾 from 🇸🇪

7:23 This is a hell of big bazongas, indeed, sir.

Guaraní is such a beautiful language. I'd love to learn it someday!

I laughed so hard when you talked about what we usually do when we find other paraguayans outside our country because it is soooo true :)

"Josefina Pia" Josefina PLa Deserved better

Paraguayans talk funny? Chileans: Hold my beer....

They forgot to talk about Children's Day, for those who do not know, Children's Day is celebrated here on August 16, on that day, children who died fighting in the war of the Triple Alliance are honored, yes, children, the reason why the children fought back then was because there were no adults left for the war, so all those children armed themselves and went to fight, and the Brazilians and Argentines slaughtered them violently and cruelly, what a sad story right? ah, I almost forgot to mention, after killing the children, the mothers came and began to cry for their children, and the Brazilians and Argentines caught them and other children who were nearby in a hospital, and then burned that hospital, killing everyone who was there😬

Puro love para Paraguay 💕✨ Saludos desde Chilito uwu 🇨🇱🇳🇱

hermoso pais de paraguay . saludos desde Peru, la tierra de los incas

Ciudad del Este is one of the strangest places I've ever been... and I loved it!

Hi! Hola! Mba'eichapa! a proudly Paraguayan here! Paraguaya teete ko'ape! Thank u so much for sharing about Paraguay and our culture! Aguije! Gracias! 🇵🇾 ❤

Marianne's mom is more paraguayan que la mandioca.

Only one main highway goes through it: The Number 9 Highway enters into Bolivia... but they don't wanna talk about it...

I'm Argentinian, but my grandmother was from a German speaking community in Paraguay (her dad was Swiss and her mom was Austrian), she grew up speaking German at home and Guarani with her friends from the neighborhood and didn't learn Spanish until she started school!

I'm Paraguayan and it's the first time in my whole life I see someone call the "región oriental" the "región Paraneña ". 😂

Great video, i just wanna make a correction, in the 2:05 you said that The Chaco used to belong to Bolivia, which is wrong, it always has been part of Paraguay, even before the Chaco war, i mean, always

I love learning about countries with Mestizo culture because I myself am Métis, which is basically a Canadian Mestizo but with French instead of Spanish and Cree instead of guarani and Quechua. Métis literally means the exact same thing as Mestizo, “Mixed Blood”

Paraguay:lost war against Brazil Also Paraguay against Argentina:I'LL F-KING DO IT AGAIN

This is the most amazing video I’ve ever seen of my country! (The most informative too) Congrats you guys 🙌❤️ greetings from Paraguay 🇵🇾✨ love your content!

Paraguayans drink " mate" in the morning and terere all day.

So cool that you guys let Marianne and her mum appear on the show. They did very well too! Great episode, lots of interesting stuff I had no idea about
