Romance Vocabulary Comparison - Nature I  

I didn't say 'Plantă' is inherited. If you watch the video I say in the paragraph below the words: 'Compare the inherited Romanian term 'Plântă'.

Romanian has several words for tree: copac, arbore, pom, with pom being used mostly for fruit trees.

​@@Langwigcfijul plântă doesn't exist

@@myrcea50 That's because it's now an archaic word. However, it is still the word that was inherited from Latin 'Planta'.

🇵🇹

@@MagicFredbear E Galiza não é Castela!

Concordo meu camarada luso, Portugues é de Portugal, portugues do brasil é do brasil

Yes, and?

@@Langwigcfijul you only indicated romania on your map. it is also a romance speaking country.

Sorry but Catalán is just a regional language from spain, if not that relevant as their cousins

I will eventually do videos similar comparing the more minor/regional languages.

@@bonomomusic8701 not a regional language of Spain. It's the official language of Andorra, a coofficial language in Spain, and a language with thousands of speakers in France and Italy. Definitely not a regional language. It's bigger than Swedish, Greek, etc. when it comes to speakers😉

@@lluiscornet9020 yes, but Catalán only has andorra as the principal language of a country, if we add Catalán, we would have to also add Galician, napolitan, sicilian and others regional languages, catalán it's not most special than others regional languages

It s just a regional thing like galician occitian sicilian

Tienes razón

Look at the paragraph after the first showing of the words.

Read the paragraph after the first display of the words.

Și "Pom"

@@myrcea50 nu! pom este copacul ce face fructe, eventual comestibile. Nu poți să spui că un plop, de ex, este pom, este o eroare... Un măr, da, ăla e pom.

Isn't that the case for all latin languages tho 🤨

@@thay.s.m.3278 yes you right

They will be like dialects and that is the problem many versions of latin

If commenters like you would understand, I can't fit every single word a language has for X thing into these videos. You really think these videos are saying these words showcased are the only words in these languages that refer to said item in the video? And look, people have commented well before you these words also exist in Romanian, so you're not exactly providing any new info that would help me, or any other person out who's seeking more knowledge on the topic.

Actually, I even say in the video, 'Romanian also has the word 'Arbore', which shows you clearly didn't watch the video.

@@Langwigcfijul If you knew that for the Latin word "Arbor" there is a direct correspondence in Romanian "Arbore", why did you write "Copac"? And how do you know that "Copac" is of Albanian origin? The fact that it exists in Romanian and Albanian, without being attested as old, does not mean that it belongs to one or another language. It could very well be an old Romanian word entered into Albanian or belong to the ancient common linguistic background. I say pay more attention to "certainties" without being a linguist, or at least specify that it is only your opinion. PS: If I saw mistakes in simple and common words, I didn't have the patience to watch the clip until the end.

@@h.adrian8911 _If you knew that for the Latin word "Arbor" there is a direct correspondence in Romanian "Arbore", why did you write "Copac"?_ These videos are not about the direct descendants of the Latin words. I used 'Copac' because, from what I've gathered, it seems to be the more common word used for trees in general. _And how do you know that "Copac" is of Albanian origin? The fact that it exists in Romanian and Albanian, without being attested as old, does not mean that it belongs to one or another language. It could very well be an old Romanian word entered into Albanian or belong to the ancient common linguistic background._ I don't know it's of Albanian origin. Actually pay attention to the video. I said it may be a borrowing of the Albanian 'Kopaç'. _I say pay more attention to "certainties" without being a linguist, or at least specify that it is only your opinion._ And I say the same to you. You pay more attention to the video you're watching. You're too quick to go to the comments, say I made a mistake, and say I demonstrate my "poor knowledge", when if you actually watched through you would've saw that I wrote in the paragraph 'Romanian does also have 'Arbore''. _If I saw mistakes in simple and common words,_ In this instance, there was no mistake. _I didn't have the patience to watch the clip until the end._ Well, maybe you should because the very thing you said I didn't know, I had actually put in the paragraph.

Copac comes from what again??? You Dacopaths keep amusing us. You cannot claim ANY word in Romanian or any other Balkanic language comes from "illyrian-thracian-dacian" when we have zero sources on these languages. In simpler words, Dacian is a poorly attested language, except of names/toponyms, we have nothing from this language thus nothing to rely on to trace the origin of Copac or any other word in Romanian.

yes it is, a more celtic influenced latin but it is still latin

@@patax144 it’s more Germanic than the rest of the Romance languages. It’s the furthest from Latin

Who said it was Latin? Also, it's still a Romance language as English is still a Germanic language.

@@Langwigcfijul it’s not Latin not a Romance language

@lizsalazar7931 How is it not a Romance language then?
