Guess the Language w/ STEVE KAUFMANN (Dream Come True)

Kaufmann's former language office was less than two blocks from my home. By the time I discovered it, it was closed, unfortunately. Would have been interesting to drop by and wish him a Guten Tag.

American and Canadian are mutually intelligible, both languages have over 80% lexical overlap, with pronunciation and grammatical differences.

​@@beans00001🗿

@@beans00001 Hi, can you translate that to Canadian pls i dont understand

@@canberkpesman1604 Burger land and Canadian understand each other (we don’t) and both languages barely have any pronunciation and grammar differences. (we have tons)

Ne, die labern einfach Scheisse

More like, how audacious Germans are at calling other languages dialects of German

I've heard Badisch ever since my childhood and the pronunciation wasn't really good. I did not recognize the dialect so it wasn't a very good depiction (Nothing against the guy of course)

I recognized the tonguetwister, not the dialect. I've made up tonguetwisters in several languages, including German, which is my first non-native language. Der Zahnarzt zieht Zähne mit Zahnarztzange im Zahnarztzimmer. Mit Zange muss er Zunge ziehen nie und Zähne ziehen immer!

I agree

As a trilingual Brazilian who speaks English as my third language, I have to say, your typing-words-in-English skills are really good, keep it up!

@@brittlediamond valeu, meu rei!! Um beijão na nuca 😘

As someone who doesn’t speak any language and communicates solely through the power of telepathic memes I do have to commend you on your exquisite use of the letter a.

In America you speak american!

The nerve lol

And the guy is also using a peruvian accent from Lima 😅

Bin Franke und hab bisschen was verstanden aber hauptsächlich weil ich den Zungenbrecher kenne

Was sagt er genau? @@bananenmusli2769

@@bananenmusli2769 ich komme aus der gegend und habe kein wort verstanden, habe es ausm gleichen grund wie du erkannt. schade dass die dialekte aussterben

Same. But I am very sure it's because of the tongue twister. Normal badisch shouldn't be this comprehensible.

Hab kein Wort verstanden...

Your wishes have been fulfilled

@@arnaubasulto4448 Steve's AASL accent is really thick!

Your prayers have been answered

*Foreshadowing*

Ancient turkish*

I did recognize it except for the first two, three words But I wasn't sure if it's some Kashubian or something at first

When he started speaking my brain froze

I heard a few Polish words, so I was guessing Kashubski!

@@Cypekeh same here!

At the first attempt I recognized only a few words, but thought it was Russian. Only during a retry, I recognized my mother tongue. And still have an impression that it was actually recorded backwards.

nah dora gonna kidnap him

@@stupiditiusmaximusNot if Duo gets him first.

As a Pole I had to listen this part again to realise that IT was Polish. Even then it was hard to understand😂

That was the weirdest polish ever. The dude was trolling I guess.

Samma trodde jag

@@blakewood2755 he took people with a strong accent from a language speaking a different one to spice the challenge up! the guy speaking French also had a strong foreign accent *and* was almost only using slang, it was very well done to trip Steve up on one language he's very proficient in. As he said, knowing what to expect is very important in communication. If he had been told beforehands it was French, he could have picked up most of the meaning for sure!

This comment deserves more

Me too 😂

Hes GigaChad he does not watch cringey japanese cartoon

So do I. Conlangs have no culture behind them (or, associated with them); and anime (🤢🤮) degenerates the youth.

@@ChosenOne-CursedOne-AshenOne Exactly 💪🏻.

Esperanto COULD have been a big thing, something really useful at least in many cities of the world...but it never woke up back after the effects of the two World Wars. It's a pitty, but It's what it is.

I think I caught one word the third time I tried: “lieber”.

I speak Russian and could understand the entire sentence. Since Kaufmann speaks it too, that must've been fair enough

@@ArtemijSmyslovskijAnother Russian speaker here. Same for me! I also recognized the language as Polish even though I've never learned it (maybe that's exactly why)

apart from his accent, the strange intonation of his voice made it difficult to understand him at first

Yeah, I was like: Which Slavic language is that? Is there a Slavic language that resembles Polish even more than anything I’ve ever heard before?

Same here im Polish and i didn't recognize it. Apart from "ciekawy" but i thought it was dialect

He only understood a few

that's what its like in my anki deck what else is it supposed to be.

It is nothing new to Japanese that one word can mean 10 different things and I’m not even talking about the homophones

@@RadenWA But "hontou ni" means "really" or "truly". "No cap" is something that I don't even know in English, but even if it means that, it's wrong as a translation (except for just entertainment value) due to its very different formality. Just like "dope", "cool", and "exquisite" are separate words for a reason, you can't translate one word into another that has a totally different tone and formality. (I should also mention that the Japanese spoken in this video was made to be difficult to pick up on purpose, and the voice is of someone who is almost definitely not a Japanese person, or if she is, has been heavily "foreign-ized", i.e. grew up in another country and does not have Japanese speech patterns or mannerisms.)

​@@Rationalificマジで is a much better translation due to the colloquialism

@@Ace_Of_Bass8 I agree that マジで is slang, while 本当に would not be considered slang at all and should not be translated to English as such (in any serious translation, at least).

same

That is because it's Badish German using words that do not appear in Standard German and a tongue twister.

Yeah the french one was rough imo. It’s my native language and i didnt recognise it at first.

As a German learner who stayed for 5 months in a tiny village in Rhineland-Palatinate in a student exchange program, i am impressed by how unrecognizable Badish is, even when compard to the local Rhineland Palatinate Dialect. The only thing it shared with the Middle Franconian dialect from my host father was the "nit" instead of "nicht".

I truly thought I was witnessing some sort of ancient north germanic-slavic pidgin

It didn't surprise me that Steve took Hebrew as Arabic since both are semitic languages with quite similarities between each other.

😂😂

Fellow lebanese language simp fan?

@@NonsensicalFactual Yessirrrr

@@nightbreaker3187 Is ca va legitimately a part of Lebanese Arabic now, borrowed from French, or was the speaker just mixing some French into there?

I also speak some Polish and didn’t understand it until I listened again

​@@kirkgoddard7198for me the interesuję się gave it away instantly

I’m from Sweden and I thought it was russian with a heavy swedish accent

My thoughts, exactly 😅.

Maybe that's where they got the Demonym from

Me being proud of attaining fluency in German, only to encounter Badisch and guess that it's Arabic.🤣

@@adlovett9831 Same

ich kann badisch und es hört sich in wahrheit nicht so komisch an hahha

Alter, ich wohne hier an der Grenze zu BW und hab kein Wort verstanden :D

Classic Lebanese lmao

Same for french. I am a native French speaker and the accent was just terrible and the slang was so overused you could barely make out the sentence

well, it did have a strong swedish accent

Same with Japanese, although it was clear what they were trying to say some words had bad pronunciation and a word was straight up wrong too unfortunately...

Fluent Polish here. I could understand this Polish with swedish accent.

@@lolinator. So, it’s like the Helsinki slang, in Finnish. The whole ”””dialect””” is a slang, and hard to sometimes understand, even for native Finns, who don’t live, in the greater Helsinki metropolitan area. On top of which, the degree of _”juppeuma”_ (= the contamination/pollution by youth/popular ”””culture”””) is just downright infuriating, for me, as a _”Rahvas”_ Conservative Nationalist.

As a Finn, I instantly recognized it, as a Swedish accent; because we make fun of Swedish accent, all the time 😅.

I can speak russian with a strong scottish/glaswegian accent, and with a strong Finnish accent, since I spent a lot of time in those places. And I can do a perfect australian accent and various roadman/cockney/London accents in english, but I can't for the life of me transfer those accents to russian, it's hard haha

Ey ¿En qué idioma es tu comentario? Supongo que no es Español, pero se le parece... Ha sido muy divertido

he is truly an asset to the world, I would die for him

Swedish accent is funny 😂
