Stereotypes that Europeans Are Too Afraid to Ask! (UK, Poland, Brazil, Serbia, Spain, Sweden) 

Brazil, my favorite European country

Even for those who live in the Amazon region in Brazil, the Amazon is not a daily part of people's lives. I'm from a city in the Amazon and I don't see people worrying about that.😅

I'm from Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil, and I'm 4,500 km away from the Amazon. It's the same driving distance from Paris to Jerusalem. It's not really a weekend trip.

The serbian girl seems so well-educated, smart and classy. 🙌 And finally there is a balkan part of the group, which is nice. You can learn cool things with such conversations. Greetings from Bulgaria! ❤

Brazilian girl is so pretty to me! There's something about her that I just find so pretty. Maybe it's her smile.

The serbian girl was super respectful it made me smile :) pozdrav iz Srbije

Serbian girl is very clever. She have a lot of international experiences. Pozdrawiam z Polski 🤗

Oh my God 😂 Every time someone sees a Brazilian, they come up with this question about whether we see wild animals in the Amazon rainforest... No, Brazil is not just the Amazon rainforest. Here the country has such a huge territory that it covers all climates: hot, cold, temperate and so on. Even in winter, some parts of the south of the country tend to have snow, not like in other countries but we still have snow and frost too...

I’m Polish and I’m such a Draga stan it’s unreal. I loved her personality and "to the point" attitude.

I'm from the northeastern region of Brazil, some people might say I live close to the Amazon, but I actually don't. I would have to take a 3 hour flight just to get there. The Amazon is sooo far away from most brazilians, like thousands of miles, i'ts quite shocking people don't realize that.

This is nice content, respect to all girls from Serbia.Also,Draga thank you for representing our country so well.

Assuming every Brazilian lives close to the Amazon is like saying every American live close to Alaska or every Australian lives on the Outback. No, a small portion of the population lives close to the Amazon, most people live very far away from it on the coastline.

The Brazilian waxing was created in 1987 in New York by 7 sisters from Brazil, it was made by Brazilians, but not in Brazil

I am gobsmacked that we have come to the point that curry has become a national dish of UK. Serbian and Brazilian girl were the best

I'm proud of my Serbian! She's real one!

I love this group!! Please do more with them. They’re all so likable and bring a diverse perspective.

4:20 ELAS ESTÃO CERTAS, A GENTE FALA BRASILEIRO DO BRASIL. Em portugal eles falam brasileiro europeu.

As meninas fingindo que não pensavam isso do Brasil 😅😅😅😅😅

I am from Serbia🇷🇸,and I am proud of my Serbian girl❤all girls are beautiful!

brazilian waxing was invented in Brazil during the 70s, due the micro bikinis that bazilian women like to use, in the 80s, a brazilian woman named Janea Padilha, with her 6 sisters started a salon in New York offering this kind of waxing, and americans named the procedure "brazilian waxing" but in Brazil pepole know as "hair removal by hot wax"

Amazon rainforest for brazilians it's like Siberia for russians, too far and exotic. Just like Laponic/suomi region in Sweden/Finland or maybe Highlands of Scotland for brits. Most brazilians (more than 80%) live in the coastline or nearby.

Difference between Vodka and Slivovitz is that u use Slivovitz not only as drink but also as medicine 😀

Nós vê que tem a brasileira no vídeo nós já chega como hehe 🇧🇷😎

Anna’s accent is simply perfect!

Polish and Serbian girls are beautiful.

Presentations 00:22 Did Brazil really start the Brazilian waxing? 1:21 Is curry the national dish of the UK?1:53 Why do you not serve meals to your guests? 2:32 Do Brazilians speak Brazilian? 4:14 Spanish people are all sexy? 4:48 Poland does not have nice music?5:48 Did you know that Yorkshire Tea is from India? 6:38 Did you really think Swedish meatballs are tastier then American meatballs?7:42 Is the Amazon rainforest a part of daily life in Brazil? 8:31 Polish vodka vs Slivovitz 9:25 Is everyone in Sweden blonde with blue eyes? 10:11 How much do you fight in a day? 11:23 How different is Serbian and Russian? 12:09

Swedish and Polish girl are very respectful and beautiful personels, love from Serbia❤

Not sure how not offering food to guests have anything to do with being poor or rich…Most south and south east European (Balkan) countries where and still are poor yet they will always feed you!

In Brazil, depilation is extremely common, both for women and men😅

Other countries: get various questions about culture etc Sweden: *MEATBALLS*

For those who doesn't know yet, Brasil is a unique and a fascinating country!! 🇧🇷🙋🏻‍♀️

Only one question to Ania from PL and it was about bad music in Poland? Serious xd? Poland have a loooooot of good bands, singers and composers.... except disco polo, of course.

what a beautiful brazilian

Moro no Brasil e a floresta amazônica deve estar numa distância de 3 mil quilômetros da minha cidade, eu também nunca vi uma favela na minha vida a não ser em filme/noticiário.

Yes Anna, you're absolutely right! "Oh my God how dare they ask?" 🤦🏻‍♀️🇧🇷

Just love the difference in stereotypes: For European countries it's all "oh, do you have a bit of a temper? Are all people blonde with blue eyes? Is your language like this other language" For Brasil it's like: "HEY! ARE YOU A JUNGLE PERSON FROM THE FOREST? ARE YOUR PETS WILD ANIMALS? DO YOU USE ANIMALS AS INFRA-STRUCTURE LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE?" Colonialism at its finenest...

Judging by the title, Brazil is apparently in Europe now.

The country with most blond with blue eyes is Finland and then in second is Sweden , but that's not really matter since the all nordic countries are all well-known for that😅

lol they way Chopin was written in the subtitles killed me

Poland have great extreme Metal music! For example Behemoth and Vader! :D Love from Sweden to Poland, I love your country!

6:13 - Ah, Shopen... The famous polish composer.

I just knew the comments section was going to be dominated by Serbia. I can't think of another country where as soon as it is mentioned, its people are straight into the comments section declaring their undying love. Živela Srbija! 🇷🇸 🇷🇸 💪 💪Pozdrav iz Veliko Britannija!

The Swedish food thing was that there was no mobile and most children was expected to be home to dinner. Most time the parents did not know where their children was but they know that they would be home for dinner. As a parent you know that the guest child's parents have planned and maybe even started with the family dinner so it would have been rude to not respect that. Offcorse in the cases the parents know eachother the common thing was to ask the child, " you can eat with us but you have to call your parents first ".

As far as the question about Polish music is concerned: Poland is rich in culture since it has been part of the Western civilization for over 1000 years and Polish music is an integral part of this . Starting from medieval times with my favorite Gregorian chant: "Gaude Mater Polonia" or ""Rejoice, oh Mother Poland"" composed for Polish kings by an unknown composer. Next, we have music of the Polish Renaissance with great composers such as Bartlomiej Pekiel and Waclaw from Szamotuly. After Renaissance period , there is Polish Baroque with Mikołaj Dylecki, Marcin Mielczewski, Kaspar Foerster, and Tomasz Szewerowski. Next, we have romantic era represented by world-renowned Fryderyk Chopin, more modern composers Henryk Wieniawski (violin concertos), Stanisław Kościuszko (opera), Henryk Górecki ( modern classical) . Furthermore, Poles created some of the best music tracks for movies, for example: Krzysztof Komeda - ( music for 'Rosemary's Baby'), Krzysztof Penderecki - music for 'The Shining' ), Wojciech Kilar - '( music for The Ninth Gate' ). and Poland produced some of the best jazz musicians including Tomasz Stańko, Basia Trzetrzelewska, and Ewa Bem.

Serbia ❤❤❤❤

My favorite Polish singer of all time was Basia famous for her Bossa Nova inspired jazz pop music. I've listened to her music while growing up and discovered later on that she had also lived in Chicago at one point.

The thing that my American friends asked me was 'Are all Serbs 🇷🇸really tall?'

In Brasil, "brazilian waxing" is just "waxing". Also, "Brazil nuts" is just "nut". And "Brazilian jiu-jitsu" is just "jiu jitsu". But the most commonly consummed bread we call "French bread", and rollecoster we call "russian mountain" kkk

Of course we serve guests food. Where this whole "meme" started with was children visiting their friends. Then you were expected to go home and have dinner at your own place, since your parents would have planned for cooking for a certain number of people, and equally so at the friend's place. So it's about respecting both of those house holds, especially when times were rougher.

On the other hand, some Brazilian people like to mock Portugal and say we stole the language, so now they speak portuguese brazilian, instead of us speaking brazilian portuguese

"But not for those that are by the coast" she is really confirming that she has no idea what Brazil is like

A brasileira por dentro: PRA MIM JA DEU GENTE

I’m half Swedish, and I would say it’s very contextual. Having dinner with someone’s family is usually something that would be planned, or they would at least want to know it’s ok with your parents. A lot of families plan what and how much to cook depending on the number/preferences/allergies etc. I typically wouldn’t have even considered staying for dinner unless it was pre-planned. But that was the same in England. We would book in dinners at our friends houses like two weeks in advance. But if I went round someone’s place after school BEFORE dinner, which I did very often, I would definitely get drinks and snacks. A lot of kids in Sweden eat what’s called “mellis” or “mellanmål” - it literally means “between meals”. Depending on the place and the friend this could have been anything from tea and biscuits or fruit to cereal or pot noodles. The main controversy on the internet though was stories about Swedish kids like waiting in someone’s room while their friend’s family had dinner. I have NEVER done that and I don’t actually know any Swedes who have. You would just go home and have dinner at home. I’m sure this happens somewhere but I’d say it was blown way out of proportion.

PEOPLE THINK BRAZIL IS LIKE A NON-INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRY, THAT WE LIVE IN NATURE AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE INTERNET... WHEN WE ARE THE LARGEST ECONOMY IN LATIN AMERICA (AND ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD) AND ONE OF THE MOST INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES TOO... I DON'T UNDERSTAND...

Love my Serb woman here. Smart, classy and sexy. And probably has (Serbian, I hope) boyfriend 😔

As a Pole, I do not agree that Poland has bad music. In recent years they have been very divre for Polish musicians. Just listen to e.g. sanah etc. Yes, we are not yet known to the whole world, but it is not an easy thing to do

for the Swedish girl i just wanna say that money has nothing to do with hospitability the poorest country are usually the most hospitable so yeah

My eyes started to bleed when I saw someone write Shopen! Jesus Christ! Chopin!!!!

it is really cool to see a bunch of european people from all over europe especially brazil

Ana Paula is beautiful and represents our country very well! 🇧🇷❤️

British know tea from the Portuguese. Queen Catarina de Bragança took the too UK. Edit: adding that tea already existed in the UK, but it was for medicinal purposes. The habit of drinking as it is today, it was the Queen who was responsible

Le portugais et l'anglais sont pour moi les langues les plus difficiles à apprendre, mais j'admire vraiment tous ceux qui peuvent le parler !!

As soon as they mentioned Polish music, I went: Bejbah!

After a couple snoozers, World Friends comes back with an actually interesting video. Liked it very much!

if im right, they do speak portugese in brazil, going back centuries, there was a devide, down the line of 129 longitude, half went to portugal the other half went to spain, so they speak portugese on one side of the line and spanish on the other side of the line 129

Драга❤

Actually the tea culture was introduced in the UK by the Portuguese Royal family.

Brasil muito bem representado com a Ana

When it comes to the Swedish food thing, as someone from Sweden I think it’s just culture. A part of our culture is minding our own business for example talking or saying hi to strangers is often seen as weird. It’s the same concept of keeping to yourself and minding your own business with food if it’s a play date the person will get food for certain, if they didn’t it would be seen as very rude. But if it isn’t planed they might not get food or the family will ask the other family if they should give you food. It doesn’t mean that swedes doesn’t have hospitality it just means that in our culture the way to show hospitality is to show respect by keeping to yourself. I know this sounds very strange but in practice it makes more sense and it works for us:] it’s the dream country for introverts lol

The Brazilian European is most impressive to me. How did she do that?

Serbian girl ❤️

Ah yes, Shopen, my favorite pianist

As a Swede, of course you know that many other countries have meatballs, but why exactly Swedish meatballs are so popular, I don't know why :) I think it's delicious but I don't eat it all the time haha :) 😀Then the thing about not giving food. Doesn't suit my family anyway. As Cajsa said, it must be planned. But it's not directly in my family. Even though we didn't have much money, the friend always got something to eat. Been there myself a time or two that you had to wait or that you went home to eat before going back. Because if it is not planned, it can happen. But I'm mostly used to people getting something and them getting food at my place. So it does not apply to all Swedes back home. Best that was also when my mother made homemade Cinnamon/Vanilla buns with a glass of milk.

Fish & Chips was introduced to the UK by a Portuguese Jewish guy!

Fun fact about Brazil: we have 2 rainforests. 😅

Is it Chopin or Shopen? Who write those subtitle? Really? The girl will say the subtitle is offensive!

I feel like all the girls went for brunch afterwards and stayed in a group chat

Again, Portugal was the first country to introduced (in written) tea to Europe. In 1662, Catherine of Braganza of Portugal married Charles Ⅱ and she brought tea to the Royal house of England for the first time.

I almost died when I heard that question about Poland having terrible music. Like Ania said Chopin. And there's Polka. I remember a rock band out of Poland called Lady Pank.

I heard that Sweden is where Elektrolux first manufactured their vacuum cleaners

Poland has AWESOME music. Vader, Behemoth, Mgla, Batushka, and many, many more.

The non English girls end up mostly with an American accent. In common the over use of the word 'like'.

Portuguese and Spanish is sexy

the brazilian girls english is amazing

The thing about Amazon in Brazil annoys me so much lol. It’s such a big country. It’s like the US in that sense. We have all types of places and the biggest city in South America which is São Paulo that it’s much like New York is to the United States. I’m from São Paulo and is crazy that people think Brazilians in general use boats and stuff to go to places.

4:21 i'm brazilian and to be honest i don't know why we get so mad with this, the pepole who sould be mad with this are the pepole from Portugal, not us...

Seems like people are assuming the entire Brazil as a Jungle 😭

Waxing started culturally with sefardites Jewish in Spain and Portugal. After arriving in America the beauty standard changed for women having less body hair, like native women, and so on hairy portuguese women started waxing.

About the rainforest, most people only remember the Amazon rainforest, but there are others. Even in Brazil, there is the "mata Atlântica", that is a forest over the hills near the Atlantic Ocean, mostly at the South and SouthEast coast of Brazil.

the polish girl is like a dream 😍

If we talk about music in Poland in currently time I have to say that there are many great bands who play heavy/black metal like Behemoth, Batushka, Mgła or KAT. All of them are popular in the world.

I just love the way you all get on together Obviously you're not politicians - the world would be so much better if people like you were politicians. Notice that I don't say if politicians were like you- I just don't think that's possible.

Sorry Lauren but fish and chips is in every way by definition the national dish as you can't get a more popular and destintively british dish than fish and chips. I don't even see the logic of how tikka masala can even count given that fish and chips is more popular (though very fatning and hence not eaten very often for that reason) and besides, as much as I love eating a pre made tikka masala it is not actually a distinctively british dish so logically speaking it doesn't count. This is why most say fish and chips as the national dish by definition is the most popular as well as the most destinctively natave/british, plus this makes a lot more sence as a whole, especially distinctively. We do love our curries though with Tikka masala definitely being the most popular one. If fish and chips were not so overly fatning we would definitely eat more of them and hence it is a b ig treat to have, especially on a friday afternoon.

At least they did not ask if Brazil’s language is spanish. Saying it is spanish pisses us more than saying that we speak brazilian…

Love you Ania

Actually the curry was brought to the United Kingdom by the Portuguese (Portugal was the first european country to have colonies in India and around the world btw). The same can be said about the tea that was brought to the UK by Queen Catherine of Braganza, a Portuguese princess who was married to King Charles II of England, she introduced the Tea time to the english routine.

3:34 as a serbian this is accurate

I live in Amazon Forest and it's very nice in here.

Já contaram pra espanhola, o que é conhecido como ''espanhola'' aqui no Brasil?

Spelling "Chopin" as "Shopen" , god, who wrote the subtitles for this
