Jingles jingled a lot this episode. The "second" kill was really the third. The call out you mentioned and several others xD That's the fun of watching though while down in the salt mines.
In modern german. Dutch is very close to other 'german regional accents'. Keep in mind what is known as german is "High German" aka "Hochdeutsch" and there are a couple hundred regional dialekts. Some of which are directly related to foreign languages. For example germans with the regional dialect "Plattdütsch" (both eastern and wester variants) can understand british people without any qualms even if they never had contact to the english language, inhabitants of the "Saarland" can understand french, ...
The closest German word would be Straßenvater, which is not entirely a real word in terms of that nobody uses it, but this would be the correct spelling.
Thank you featuring me Jingles! Have been watching your videos since ages and get featured twice a week on your channel is quite a treat for me. ~Straatvader
It does sound funny. Until you realize that has a true kernel to it. Germany or at that time "Holy Roman Empire" extended well into modern france, netherlands, belgium, luxembourg, modern italy, switzerland, austria, ungary, czechia, poland, russia (exclave kaliningrad) meaning in all these countries either remants or relatively big influences of german culture and language are left.
12:22 "Will Straatvaders team get their second kill, whilst they have 5 ships left? No!" Completely ignoring that the Schors sank the enemy Kagero for their SECOND kill, at 11:50, the same time as he was lost! Jingles even mentioned that he'd taken the Kagaro with him. Jingles "The Observant" strikes again! lol
It’s pronounced Muh-HAHN, very similar to how you say mahogany. At least that’s how I was taught it in the Navy. OFC, the Navy also taught me to pronounce leeward as lew-ward, forecastle as fo’c’sle, and drinking fountain as scuttlebutt.
Albert Thayer Mahan was a huge influence on naval strategy but the emergence of submarines and aircraft spoiled his focus on capital ships. That sounds a bit familiar. But Mahan did not think the Philippines could be defended. I have read "The Influence of Sea Power..." and another huge change that makes his thinking obsolete is the appearance of wireless - instant ocean-spanning communications - though his accounts of battles show how the development of flag signaling paid off for the Royal Navy. I wouldn't trust the vowel sounds I use for his name, the IPA has weaknesses in vowel sounds because it tries to assign definite sounds to different parts of a fuzzy blob. Then the stress on the second syllable affects the sound. Those American examples feel odd to me, too close to a "schwa" but that is something genuinely American. Your example from "Mac" names brings in Irish and Scots accents, which bring in the "Is it a language?" question. At best, that makes a risky guide. There are a lot of Lincolnshire connections to early American history. Since it is World Dracula Day I shall only mention that Sir John Smith (Jamestown / Virginia) was knighted by the Prince of Transylvania.
Alfred Thayer Mahan (/məˈhæn/; September 27, 1840 - December 1, 1914) was a United States naval officer and historian, Rather obviously two syllables. Am also quite sure, since he got commissioned as lieutenant in 1861 during the civil war and only born in 1840 , he was NOT a Civil War Admiral ^^
@@mynameiswritinwater Jingles has forgotten something quite important when comparing McMahan with Mahan. McMahan is not rooted from English but is actually anglicised GAELIC. In Gaelic it would indeed be pronounced as a single syllable as he stated in the video. Jingles is English, and many English kind of forget at times that like Wales, Ireland and Scotland still have extant Celtic languages, and that many names and place names derive from those languages, not English, Anglo Saxon or Norse.
@@alganhar1 why do you tell me ? - American tradition on pronouncing the name is available online (wikipedia and several language sites - as quoted ) and even in a single language there are different pronounciations of the same name in regional dialects. If you are uncertain look it up and verify the source. Jingles wondered but was not willing to look it up. Given some other rushed stuff in that vid,... yeah well /shrug
Even after being, ever so casually, insulted for being a inhabitant of a country not far from our Uncle Jingles, i can not but come to the conclusion that this man is a born story teller and i enjoy pretty much all he has to say 6 times a week. Even above narration. +1 old man, live long in happiness.
I think a pint or two in Amsterdam might get him to reminisce about the good old days when his ship docked in Den Helder and the NS took him to .. er... where bad boys go. Charles Stross is fond of the place as well.
There are a lot of subtleties to Japanese pronunciation but if you're curious Azuma is written in three characters a zu ma. Japanese follows a rhythm where each syllable is pronounced on one beat or count. The a and ma rhyme, the zu rhymes with zoo but for perfect pronunciation you avoid elongating the vowel. But the way you typically pronounce it is more than adequate for someone who doesn't speak Japanese.
Jingles, just so you know, Old English and modern day Frissian (a Germanic language spoken in a part of the Netherlands) are so similar that they can understand each other, so you guys are by definition just Island Germans. Sincerely, a Swamp German 😁
The McMahon is a different spelling to the Mahan although in this game it is pronounced Tirpitz :) Great result for a team that looked like an easy loss :)
"Street Father" took care of his business with a casual ease. If I actually played the game, I'd start sweating if I saw his name on the enemy team list. GG good Sir. Please make sure those precious floofy demi-goddesses get the scritches and treats they are due. Keep up the good work, material support primate Jingles. 🐈🐈⬛👑✌️🖖
If you watch the throttle indicator, Straatvader was adjusting their speed a fair amount. The enemy team was also turtling pretty far back on the map. My guess is a combination of unpredictable piloting, distance, and bad aim.
To be honest Jingles, I reckon I would have stopped playing WOW a long time ago but for your videos, your optimistic attitude and live life to the full demeanor is an example to all of us!
Things I learnt from this video. Mahan's can be camoflagued as Tirptiz's. Ibuki is a German heavy cruiser with long range hydro.... how did I not know these things ? The Azuma's a good ship but whenever I play it you do tend to get smashed from odd angles with the high number of very large caliber AP guns around these days.
Hey Jingles! Thanks for the videos! I have to say your WoWs videos are the best. WoT is next. Do you ever see a video where one team is absolutely getting slaughtered in under 8 minutes for WoWs?
Jingles to Dutch viewers: "Need moar Stroopwafels, or else..." Also Jingles: "What do you have against Tirpitzes?" The Dutch: "Nothing in particular, outside a disagreement around May. We're just not sure about the year..."
1:33 "AH-zu-ma" is basically* the correct pronunciation. Same with most three-syllable Japanese words, like "YA-ma-to," "MO-ga-mi," "MI-ka-sa," etc. *I say "basically" because strictly speaking, I think most native Japanese speakers would tell you Japanese is a "flat" language where you don't actually put a lot of emphasis on any one syllable. But as native English speakers used to putting emphasis on certain syllables, putting a little emphasis on the first syllable of most three-syllable words in Japanese (as opposed to the second syllable, which seems to be most native English speakers' natural inclination) will get you pretty close.
A few more basic tips on Japanese pronunciation for anyone interested (I could go more in detail than this, but I wanted to keep the points relatively brief): 1. VOWEL SOUNDS! There are only five vowel sounds in Japanese. A ("ah"), I ("ee"), U ("oo"), E ("eh" or "ey"), and O ("oh"). If you think you're hearing another vowel sound (like "aye"), it's probably actually two of the other sounds put together in quick succession ("ah ee"). Double, triple, and sometimes even quadruple vowels aren't uncommon in Japanese. 2. A lot of times, vowels will effectively get "dropped" from words, like the u in "Akatsuki" ("ah-KA-ts-ki"). Technically you're still giving it the length of the full four syllables (although if you're not used to hearing Japanese spoken at full speed, you could be forgiven for thinking it was being condensed down to three syllables), but the "breath" has been taken out of the vowel sound. This can also happen at the end of words, most commonly with I and U. "KA-wa-chi" might sound like "KA-wa-ch," "MU-tsu" might sound like "MU-ts," etc. Again, you're still technically saying the full length of the syllable, but the vowel sound is kind of lost. Worth noting that this can vary greatly between individual speakers and regional dialects, as some Japanese speakers will more fully annunciate those vowel sounds. 3. The "Japanese R" sound, which is sort of an R, an L, and sometimes a little bit of a D all rolled together. There are tons of videos out there on how to learn to pronounce this, but it basically involves touching the area right behind the tip of your tongue to the ridge on the roof of your mouth.
Thank you for giving respect to the Mahan at the end of the video. You're right, Mahan is not a very good destroyer and it does not uptier well at all, especially in a carrier game. But man, he put in WORK. Not only did he nuke the friendly Fletcher, but also killed the friendly Jean Bart with the shit tier torpedoes that the Mahan gets. That's two top tier, very deadly ships that he took out early on before they had much of a chance to impact the battle. He did his best to keep the win all the way to the end. If you're reading this, Mahan player, I salute you.
16:31 Mathematically, they are not going to catch up before the match ends. 912 with once cap to 789 with two caps would be 1000 to 877 when the team with one cap reaches 1000. So it is actually the other team that as to do something, like blocking a cap most likely.
Mahan is one of the signpost admirals. He is the one that passed a paper around about having a navy in existence BEFORE you need them for a war despite the cost as a deterrence.
Alfred Thayer Mahan (/ m ə ˈ h æ n /; September 27, 1840 - December 1, 1914) was a United States naval officer and historian, whom John Keegan called "the most important American strategist of the nineteenth century." So ya.. I believe that IS pronounced correctly all this time :)
Hey our Mighty overlord Jingles. As a humble salt mining worker since 2014, have you ever thought about bringing back a couple of classics, like.. The Good the bad and the ugly series? Or your forgotten cooking channel? I've recently been going back on your videos, its always great having your voice in the background while I'm cooking dinner for the family.. Anyway I will be returning to my duties in the salt mine. Much love from a South African living in China 😊
"Are they going to get their second kill while they're still on five ships? No they're not!" Meanwhile: *_Two ships already killed._* Jingles moment! Everyone take a drink!
@@MorningNapalm I did see that lol. Didn’t make much difference since he still got away on 1k health after teetering there for a few minutes while Jingles went on to narrate other things.
I was gonna guess that they lose 6 ships before getting a kill, but then you said to be more pessimistic and it'd probably still not be correct, so I changed it to 8. Damn you Jingles!!!
I’m not entirely sure about the person the Mahan is named after, but the residence hall at my University and the few people I’ve known with that surname pronounce it like the word Ma (a short form for Mama) and Han, as in Hans Solo minus the S on Hans. Bear in mind, Americans are known for putting our own unique spin on how, particularly Gaelic & French, surnames & place names are pronounced. Goodness, there’s a village near where I grew up named Versailles. No, not pronounced like the castle in France… the Ver stays the same but the ending becomes sails. Because, reasons.
"Straat" is telling, that's deffo Dutch for "Street". We Germermans usually do not deal in double a's - double o's yes, even double e's at times, but not double a's. Except of course when glueing otherwise innocent words together to compounds as we are want to do every now and then ...
I am the same age as you jingles and that is the very first time I have heard anybody pronounce my surname correctly WELL DONE OLD MAN YOU GOT SOMETHING RIGHT 😂😂 BTW McMahon means son of the hun ☺️
My prediction for when the green team would get its first kill was after losing half their team and another five minutes from when Jingles first started asking for estimates. I wasn't too far off.
An interesting metric is that as the player skill decreases due to WG game management the number of GoT videos will increase. As for the battlecruisers argument, if it has sufficient armor to give it adequate protection against calibers similar to it's own it's not a battle cruiser. While if it's armor cannot provide adequate protection against it's own guns then its a battlecruiser.
To be really pedantic, Mahan was only a Lieutenant during the Civil War; you're probably thinking of Farragut. Mahan was only promoted to admiral after he retired.
Mahan, is pronounced Ma-han. He was an American naval officer who after a nondescript career at sea was assigned as a professor in the US Naval Academy. There he wrote a book that was translated into many languages and became required reading in Japan and European Capitals. He became known as one of the most important strategist of the nineteenth century. In Mahan's books he argues that throughout history no Empire or major power has lasted long without seaborne trade and a strong navy to protect it. Mahan's books also kick off the Battleship race among nations when he predicts that future naval wars between peers and near peers will be decided by decisive engagements between whole fleets where big gun battleships will play the most important role. Mahan's writings influenced The Battle of Jutland in WW I and the Japanese obsession with fighting a decisive naval battle in WW II.
I kind of wanna take credit for thinking Straatvader's team is not going to get a kill until 6 ships down and/or until 8 minutes left to go. First off, I was of course correct with one of the predictions but more importantly I was even more pessimistic than Jingles anticipated.
As an old US Navy brat, I've always heard it pronounced mah-HAN. However he is always called Afred Thayer Mahan. He is the semi-official God of the Navy, and his book The Influence of Sea Power on History is the Navy's semi-official Bible. It has been argued that it was his theories that led the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor, so it may have backfired on us.
Japan based their naval strategy on an oversimplified version of Mahan's theories, which led them to the conclusion that the best way to win a war was to win a single decisive battle that crushes the enemy fleet. In reality, Mahan's doctrine was that winning such a battle gives you *control of the seas,* which is extremely valuable but not the automatic "I win" button the IJN seemed to think. Japan also failed to recognize that the usual way a nation that has control of the seas can defeat their enemy without needing to fight any further battles (by blockading their ports until they surrender) simply can't work on the United States, because Japan would in the absolute best-case scenario still only have been able to blockade the west coast, which would be far from crippling to the US economy.
It appears there are several schools of thought on Mahan. There is one person I found online with that last name that pronounces as you do. There are others that pronounce Mayan. The person with the last name could be American and pronounce it in its Americanized version as that is how their family evolved their pronunciation to match their region. If you go with Irish, where it originates as McMahon or McMahan, it is like how you supposed it is pronounced, something like Ma-un, totally skipping any H sound. Look at us in Massachusetts and how we pronounce things like Worcester (just like you do Jingles), Haverhill (Hay vrill not Haver hill), Reading (red ing), Leominster (Lemon stir). Ask anyone outside of New England area and they will badly botch those names to us but it will be their regionalized pronunciation of those places and ok to them. We in Massachusetts seem to tend toward the British English pronunciations of those town/city names. I still love to ask out of towners how to pronounce those town names. LOL
that enemy team looked like my team every game, everyone go to 1 corner of the map and camp.... it is kinda amazing how they were getting there butts kicked by a team doing that
It's Jingles - never can pay -too- much attention to exact numbers and times. It's a schtick at this point - makes me pay attention more closely. Besides - if there wasn't some kind of 'oops' we'd have to ask who the video poster was and what they'd done with Jingles...
