Do you know any difficult names in your country? Today Ghost9 came on to the set and they have tried to pronounce difficult Indian Names! How well did they do?
Should try comparing Thai names with Indian names! Most Thai names (and some South East Asian names) are derived from Sanskrit but have different pronunciations. As a Thai, I randomly know the meanings of some names in this video. - Maitrey => ไมตรี (Maitri)=friend - Aaditya => อาทิตยา=the Sun - Balakrishnan=Bala+Krishna (At first I thought it is พลกฤษณะ which means the power of Krishna (Hindu god) but Google says it means a child of Krishna) - Raaj => ราช/ราชา (Raaj/Racha)=king - Varun => พิรุณ (Pirun) - Jaya => ชัย/ชัยยา (Chai/Chaiya)=Winner My name, Poom ภูมิ, came from Sanskrit, Bhumi, another Indian word for Earth/Mother Earth.
We ( im half thai half chinese) anyways have a lot of loanwords from sanskrit and several South and southwest Chinese dialects. Look up ZHUANG language , it is a chinese dialect and the closest one to Thai language, zhuang is also a Tai-kadai language like thai and lao ,unlike for example mandarin, as a sino-tibetan language. There are actually several Chinese dialects who do not belong to the sino-tibetan language-family. The thai numbers entirely come from china for example and the zhuang have the exact same words for the numbers like thai, only difference is, that it is partly pronounced slightly different. Anyways, as thai and any chinese dialect are Tonal languages.
I like the names she chose for them, because in Indonesia we use Sanskrit-derived names as well: - Raja ꦫꦗ from Sanskrit Raja राज - Baruna ꦧꦫꦸꦤ from Sanskrit Varuna वरुण - Kresna ꦏꦽꦱ꧀ꦤ from Sanskrit Krsna कृष्ण - Jaya ꦗꦪ from Sanskrit Jaya जय - Aditya ꦲꦢꦶꦠꦾ from Sanskrit Āditya आदित्य (this is especially a very popular name in Indonesia) Note that unlike in Hindi, we don’t drop the final -a at the end of a word of Sanskrit origin. So we borrowed Sanskrit Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa as Mahabarata and Ramayana, not Mahābhārat and Rāmāyan like in Hindi.
I liked the way she explained the meaning of all the names and also the SANSKRIT as origin of the Indian languages. INDIAN Kpop stans will be happy and proud after watching this
@nbcbvcbv I know. Now that the interview has already ended, we can't correct her, I just appreciated her that she tried to give meaning. Also, varun is not God of sea but the rain God
@@uttarakambhammettu2296 hmm kuchh log to videsh jaakar khud ko angrez samajhne lagta hain. Im glad now they have started to take pride in their ancient culture.
Being an Indian here is ranking we Indian would love this name the most 😂 for your new name. 1. Varun 2. Jay 3. Aditya 4.krish 5.raj 6. Jeet 7.Jayesh 8. Shayan
As an Indian, few words were difficult to pronounce for me too.. By the way, great efforts by Ghost9.. (By the way, I have Varun and Dhriti named students in my class 🤣)
You Guys tried alot I'm definitely Appreciate it. Some South Indian Names Pronounciation was very Difficult. As a South Indian I'm happy to here that you guy's pronounced well 👍 I Loved it Keep do More Videos on this 😍👌
India is a very big and a diverse country..and we have like almost 400 languages with 22 official languages..so, there are like so many different and difficult names hahaha...loved the video !
Actually being a linguistics student there are 1500 language in 8ndia and more than 1400 dialect and ther are some language which are derived from Sanskrit script and some from Dravidian script which is basically Tamil and from that script other languages arises such as Kannada, Telugu, malayalam and Hindi, Bhojpuri, bihari,maithili are from devanagari script and present Hindi is mixture of Urdu, Arabic,
Actually Koreans way of calling dad and mom is same as tamil speaking people of South India. Amma and appa. When I watch kdramas I ll be very touched when it comes to parental emotions!!! It will definitely connect me!
My name is Mrinalika 😭😭😭😭 what a coincidence 😭😂😂, it's really funny how they pronounced it and yuki did really well. My name is actually really uncommon and you guys have included it in the hardest indian names which is true and thank you so much for adding my name❤❤
Korean guys ki choice Russian or ukraine ki ladkiya hai. Vo log Indian ladkiyo ko bhav tkk ni dete. Magar humare desh ki ladkiya india k ladko k bare me bhut bura sochti h Or Korean ladko ko bhut psnd krti hai. Indian ladkiyo ko lgta hai ki Korean men's bhut handsome hote hai🤡🤡🤡. Indian man apni hath pair tudwa k bhi ladkiyo ki attention ni le pate Or Korean ladke bare minimum krke bhi india ki ladkiyo ko attract krr lete hai
While I love to see our country being represented, I must add that not all the languages in India are derived from Sanskrit, perhaps I cannot speak for the northern states, however I am from north-east India and can confidently state that our mother tongues are not derived from sankrit. I love our country and the diversity it contains. I hope this diversity can be represented more in the future.
💯 Our country is so diverse but most of the language and culture are not known by none. Whenever other countries speak about India they just say hindi and Bollywood alone but what about us we are all not Indians.
Well, yes absolutely. But even among north eastern I have met many with sanskritik names. Tripura I guess has many such names. Well my roommate was from Sikkim and she had non Sanskrit name
This honestly baffles me so much, whenever India or Indians are mentioned everybody just forgets about the north east. I personally think North East has a lot of culture, traditions and food to offer. Maybe it has to do something with the Bollywood as it always revolves around the central states (and obviously Mumbai).
I would love to know more! I can't believe people ignore the North-East. What's the history of your mother language? Any sources I can use to read more? I'm trying to work on a collection of South Asian love stories on Wattpad so any good sources on North-East culture are appreciated as well!
Not all the languages are derived from sanskrit some of the South Indian languages are derived from Tamil. So, for more than 4 languages, Tamil is the mother language also it is one of the oldest language in the world still in use.
@@starsintheskyID As a malayali I would say modern day Tamil which is used nowadays has a lot of words common to Sanskrit and we can observe some Hindi word which are similar to Tamil too. Languages are evolving and they have gone through a lot of give and take .I am saying this because I can understand Tamil but not the traditional Tamil because the lack of common words in it (Like in Thirukural or people talking formally).
They are making them pronounce Dritharashtra😂 Half of my school mates can't pronounce that, recently we had a kind of staged Mahabharat discussion and half of them were coming and asking me how to pronounce the names😂😂
It actually does and you said it yourself. Dharti as a word has the same roots as the two you mention, in the fact that the Earth "bears" life with "patience/calmness".
Thank you for having me once again. This was such a fun shoot and the members of Ghost9 were so kind and friendly. Also for all of you in the comments, when I said Sanskrit is the mother language, I was referring to majority of the names that were in the video except Balakrishnan and also the names I gave them. It was mainly to explain that multiple Indian languages have Sanskrit as a foundation along side languages outside India too. It was by no means said to undermine the language origins in South India ( Dravidian origins and Tamil’s timeline of existence) . However I do agree I could have mentioned that. I forgot it since we were filming for 6 hours straight so sorry about that. Linguists believe in the existence of Proto-Indo-European as the ancestor of many Indo-European languages, including Sanskrit, but Sanskrit is not the mother of all languages. Sanskrit is an ancient Indo-Aryan language with a rich literary tradition and is considered the liturgical language of Hinduism. It has had a significant influence on the development of various Indo-European languages. However, it is just one language among many in the world and is not the ultimate origin of all languages.Tamil is one of the world's oldest living languages with a rich literary tradition, and it has had a significant influence on the development of Dravidian languages. However, it is just one language among many in the world, and its history is intertwined with the development of other languages. Also when I said a few names are hard to pronounce even for Indians I wasn’t generalizing. I have friends with the names balakrishnan and mrinalika etc who always complain about many Indians getting the pronunciation wrong. So was just pitting it out there I hope yall enjoyed the video also dhriti means Joy; Contentment; Steadiness; Fortitude. So I got that wrong and would like to correct it here. ❤❤❤
Also love each name you picked and the name they picked for you. What a lovely video and cheerful conversation throughout it. Yukti you have pleasant aura, bless you.
Yukta you should tell them about the ळ alphabet and make them pronounce....because in in Marathi we say बाळकृष्ण! It would be fun to try these new letters that aren't there in Korean language!
Quite entertaining! Thank you for the english subtitles and occasional use of english although the participants spoke Korean. 6:56 Did she say, "MY" thology? Someone get me a very large sponge hammer of Indra!
As a South Indian 🇮🇳, i would say some of the Indian languages derived (not fully) from tamil not sanskrit and tamil is older than sanskrit. Tamil is the 1st oldest and living asia's language aswell as for India also. Now Tamil is the oldest living language for world also. 😊 Tamil language has different letters comparing to today. Because today we are using modern tamil comparing to before's. ☺I hope this helps.
Nope both of them aren't there is no "mother of all indian languages" if it did it certainly wouldn't be tamil and besides sumerian is older than tamil
K firstly who selected the names definitely need of round of applause holly molly Sanskrit are no joke to pronounce as an indian this names are hard to produce even for some people in Indian ghost 9 are definitely good atleast they tried
STAN GHOST9, THANK YOU SO MUCH! JUNHYUNG, SHIN, KANGSUNG, JUNSEONG, PRINCE, WOOJIN AND JINWOO ARE SO CHARMING AND FANTASTIC, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY BOYS, FIGHTING ♡♡♡♡♡
The first one was much similar to my name , the pronunciation is completely same😂❤...... many people face difficulties in pronouncing this name its true....... literally it made me surprised when i started the video and listened my name at first😊
I'm a Bengali, so glad to know she also knows Bengali.... And I've completed both graduation and post graduation on Sanskrit.... So I'm kinda enjoying it
The moment I saw Dhritarastra I knew this video was going to be fun. When I saw Mahabharat I trained myself to able to say that name properly and I still mess it up
Just a little correction sister.. Its not Hindu Mythology.. Its Hindu scriptures.. It's our History.. We have archaeological evidences and proofs related to it... These are no myths or fairy tales like others.. I just feel as we are a part of this ancient and royal religion and we are the minorities comparing to the whole world we should learn more in details and deeply.. No offence.. Yuktha didi.. You nailed it as usual.. Lots of love.. Hare krishna.. Hari Bol 🕉☺🙇🏻♀️🙏🏻
I personally believe that all religions have truth to them because of the archival documents and archeological evidences whether it's Hinduism (which originally wasn't a religion but a way of life ), Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Jainism and more. However history can be tampered with, history can be manipulated, the morals taught in these historical texts are valid and justified about being a good person. However not everything can be historically accurate because even scribes in the past were written with a bias or could have been tampered with. Therefore some of it could be myths too. Neither you, nor I can prove it. Nor can we go back in time to verify it. Therefore some things have to be considered as mythology, whether it's Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, Japanese Mythology, Norse Mythology, Mesopotamian Mythology, African Mythology, Hindu Mythology, Slavic Mythology, Chinese Mythology, Polynesian Mythology, Native American Mythology, Mesoamerican Mythology or even Abrahamic Mythology (For Abrahamic Religions) . So any mythology contains a vast collection of stories, legends, and religious narratives that are integral to the beliefs and cultural heritage. However, it's important to distinguish between mythology and historical accounts. Mythology often involves supernatural events, gods, and other mythical beings, and its primary purpose is to convey religious, moral, and philosophical teachings rather than strict historical records. While some events or figures in ANY mythology may have historical roots or be based on real historical figures, the line between myth and history can be blurry. Similarly like every other religion, historical community, etc., Hindu mythology or for that matter any mythology is not equivalent to history in the conventional sense. It's a rich tapestry of religious and cultural narratives that carry significant meaning for Hindus, but it shouldn't be taken as a literal historical account. If it was truly considered as History we would be learning it in schools. Also you're painting me out to be discriminatory so I'm just trying to correct you that this is how I feel about ALL kinds of mythologies in the world. Not just Hindu related things.
💯agreed. Respect to all religions and believes but Hindu religion or SANATAN is not mythology it's not limited to fictional stories, yes I know for someone who are not deep diver into the subject will think that all the stories are whimsical and exaggerated but as far as I relate to concept it's the impact of advanced writing skills and literatural style of that time, the uses of metaphors and personifications of different aspects of universal energies. we have birth cities of our lords and their homes with archaeological evidences etc so it's not mythology. The video was very good and love the Indian representative and idol guest, no complain, I just wanna mention this after seeing this comment to give additional info. Peace🕊
Shayaan is not a Hindi name, she was wrong there, although it is an Indian name in the sense - cause Muslims in India uses it for boys like you said. But it is an Urdu name, which in turn is a language influenced and came into existence because of Farsi (Persian) and Arabic.
I m Hindi native speaker and syan शयन is 100% a Sanskrit word which means rest or relax there is another word in Sanskrit called शयनकक्ष shyan kaksh which means rest room or relax room
I can relate to this so well....even Indians find it hard pronouncing my name And seeing a name similar to mine that's a level up😅 Great effort guys and you slay girl ❤❤
As someone whose name is Diti, when I tell my name to others, they are always like, Dhriti? Ditya? Aditi? and so I always have to tell them the spelling🥲
As a Bangladeshi I pronounced all the names correctly at my first try cuz in BD people names are so similar with Indian names like my name is Yubaraj Sarma and I know Yubaraj is the name of a famous cricketer in India
