Btw, Poland syndrome is a condition where a child is born with missing or underdeveloped chest muscles. The shoulder, arm, and hand also can be involved. Usually only one side of the body is affected. idk why its called poland syndrome tho.
As a Norwegian, it's always fun to see these rainy/cloudy UK memes. There's just some parts of Scotland and Wales that has as much precipitation as Norway. England is really sunny in comparison. Bergen is Europe's wettest (and thus cloudiest) city. In 2006/2007 it had 85 concecutive days of rain (29th of October 2006 - 21st of January 2007). Just a little fun fact.
well pumping out daily videos does that to a man, I just started editing a week ago and the quality and speed I can do it at tripled. it's also the pronounciation, if you say sentences separately with a breath in-between the topics it makes it very easy to edit the idle parts away
In France we use "Hollande" too but the best part is that in French, the name of the country is "Pays-bas" (which litteraly means low-land country) but to name the people from their, we use the world "Néerlandais" so we literraly Frenchised the English word for no reasons !
Fun fact: the caribbean islands have a name for its entire archipelago: the Antilles. An alternate name also exists, the West Indies, but it’s an older, colonial term that barely anyone uses colloquially or externally
So THATS why it’s called “Antilles”!!! I have a campaign as the Dutch, and France has ALL the Caribbean (except St Martin, Curaçao, and one other island) as their colony!
@@Vampy_Rhombus5006 That's totally untrue. The English used to have a lot of these islands, and they are still part of the Commonwealth, even though France and the Netherlands have some islands, and Haiti used to be French.
At least, the Caribbeans and Central America have their own continental plate (and so does parts of California, hence the San Andreas valley sitting between the North American plate, the Pacific plate and the Cocos plate.) The only thing I know about Birmingham is that a former colleague of mine hailing from Birminghan used to eat potato chips on white bread for lunch.
0:44 in Portugal most people that I know use more england(Inglaterra) to refer to the UK that united kingdom(Reino unido) or great Britain(Grande Bretanha) and the same goes for Holland(Holanda) and Netherlands(Países Baixos)
Joke on the Dutch, with Polish language we just went "screw it, 'Holandia' is easier to pronounce than 'niederlandy'" abd stuck with it. Similarly with Italy and Germany for some reason, the former are "Hairies", the latter - "Mutes"
Fun fact: When Bulgaria joined the Axis in 1941, it was able to reclaim the North Aegean coast and most of Vardar Macedonia. However, we could retain only what was taken from us by the Romanians in WW1 as the rest was considered "wartime occupation". So yeah... we could have gained a lot more land, almost 50% more than our territory before the war.
I think in mandarin circle we still mostly called Netherlands "Holland"(荷蘭） If you asked where "Netherlands"(尼德蘭）is most people won't know what that is.
As someone from the Netherlands, I usually test the water with people by saying they are from the Netherlands ( I live in America) if they are confused, I say Hollandse, then Amsterdam, then I just go with Europe
They say that Bulgarian and Venezuelans have the highest inflation rates nobody talks about how bad the economy in minecraft is: 1 bread = 10 Diamonds :0
0:45 its funny to note that in vietnamese (and by extension, chinese) the word for the UK and the netherlands are phonetic transcription of eng(land) (anh) and holland (hà lan)
Well in case of netherlands its even more compicated in poland. Becouse for the long time, this country was literraly called ,,Holandia" which accually fits pretty well in polish language. And now, they expect us to change it to ,,Netherlandy" what just sounds freaking dumb in polish XDD Also I think we don't even have a word for their language, which we just called ,,Holenderski". So most of the people in polnad are still calling netherlands holland, becouse it is just much easier for us XD
@@PentaSquares No. As a French, I always have been taught America as only one continent, which is subdivided into North, South and Central America (plus the Caribbean), Mexico being said alternatively in central or North America.
About the Hungarian forint... the problem isn't the numbers themselves, the Japanese Yen for instance also has similar denominations, but it's one of the most stable currencies. But the forint still keeps losing value all the time, and inflation is through the roof.
Interestingly enough, it has remained constantly stable with the yen. 1 Japanese Yen was 3 Hungarian Forint 10 years a go and today 1 Yen is still 3 Forint.
@@boomerix Not really "constantly stable". Sure, it happened to spike to 3 in 2012, but fell back to 2.3 already a year later, and since then, it's a steady decline for the Forint.
8:41 Fun fact: 'Y' in 'Ye' is actually pronounced like 'Th' in 'The' here. This has to do with the arrival of movable type printing and the nonexistence of the archaic english letter thorn (þ) in blackletter sets. If you pronounce it the way looks suggest, you're actually saying 'you' (EME.: 'ye'). r/BringBackThorn
for the map that says central America, Caribbean, and the middle east, i think those mean more of areas of the world, like if you are in like australia and someone asks where u are from, and you are from like cuba, you wouldnt say north america (granted you would prolly say cuba) most of my friends are from the caribbean and i mean they would say they from either the caribbean or their country 7:36 also my friend (err crush) asked the librarian if they had the book and he was sad when she said no
Lolll it's true yesterday on the streets of london there were ALOT of Americans. They could also be Canadian, can't tell the difference. Usually you would find more Chinese and Europeans, but ye hearing American accents was strange I'm use to hearing them only on the telly
There is, in fact, a disease named after your birth state: Alabama Rot, aka Greenetrack Disease -- after the now-defunct gambling and dog-racing facility where it was first seen in their greyhounds. It was in the news back around 2015 after hopping across the pond to the UK. It is a disfiguring and often lethal condition that affects dogs. Its cause is still not truly known.
Yeah, I'm Mexican and most people here just use Holanda or Holandés when talking about the Netherlands or Dutch things in general. I do try to use Países Bajos and Neerlandés, though, as I know that would be like using Mexico or Brazil to refer to the whole of Latin America.
Half the time when a new drew due Ik video comes out I don’t think it’s one of his videos until like 2 hours later when it pops into my watch next thing after watching a random video
7:42 uh about that I'm canadian went to the United States or Idaho learned this was a thing and started looking it up on the hotel computer (this is not a joke)
