@@RoadkillxDemon What's it's also funny is Estonian is Finno-language meets German (many words have origins in German, due to living under a German ruling class for a long time in history) and Finnish is Finno-language meets Swedish (due to many words have origin from Swedish). So you have some words in Estonian that sound exactly the same as a word in Finnish, but they mean completely different things. So you think you understand something, only for it to actually be the same word, but mean something else.

@@RoadkillxDemonFinland also has Swedish as another official language due to the Swedish minority in it and at least they study some at school (my Finnish penpal in the 90’s did at least).

​@@RoadkillxDemon These videos aren't really about "who can guess best" but about seeing the similarities and differences in a fun way. Otherwise Finns wouldn't be included in these videos, since it's literally mandatory for us to study Swedish in school. We all speak it. It's much more interesting to compare languages in the same family (Hungarian and Finnish) then ones completely unrelated (Swedish and Finnish).

Why? Hungarian does not belong to the Finno-Baltic languages. Germanic language group share more common words with Hungarian than Finnish or Estonian.

@@shakejuntti8872 It's not finno-baltic languages, that's not a language group. It's the finno-ugric languages. Hungarian is part of it. I assume you're Finnish because of the juntti in your name and I've gotta ask, did you not listen in school at all? This was hammered into us, it's part of the curriculum. We literally got tested on how many of them we remember.

Yeah, Finland and Sweden had over 600 years of common history from the Crusaders to the Napoleonic Wars when they belonged to the same kingdom. Today, approximately 450,000 first- and second-generation Swedish Finns live in Sweden, of whom about half speak Finnish. There is also an old Swedish-speaking population of Finland who lives mainly on western and southern coastal regions. Many cultural habits are similar to Finland and Sweden like the Lutheran Church since the days of Gustav I Vasa, but the modern Nordic societies are very secular and religion is a private matter. Linguistically Estonian is the only language that have similar words than Finnish, except those common loanwords from Greek and Latin that every European language have especially in politics, science and arts. Besides the Finns haven't taken all the possible English loanwords for modern things like a computer (in Finnish "tietokone"; tieto = knowledge/information; kone = machine), a smartphone (in Finnish "älypuhelin"; äly = intelligence; puhelin = phone), etc.

@@lucone2937 I don't know what you mean by an old Swedish-speaking population. In Finland, a minority of the population speak Swedish as their mother tongue. It is neither younger nor older than the Finnish-speaking population. And that is along the southern and parts of the western coasts of Finland (which hardly has an eastern coast). In addition, all of Åland is Swedish-speaking (Finland's archipelago in the sea between Finland and Sweden).

@@raimat66 The opposite of old is either new or young, and the opposite of western and southern coasts is a large Finnish inland with lots of lakes. I mean old in the historical sense, the Swedish-speaking Finns (suomenruotsalaiset in Finnish) have lived here for centuries because of a long common history that Finland and Sweden have. They have their own dialect "finlandsvenska" (suomenruotsi) that is a little bit different from "rikssvenska" (riikinruotsi). There are currently about 300000 native Swedish speakers in Finland which is about 5 % of population. Most of them are very fluent in Finnish too. Besides a province of Åland (Ahvenanmaa in Finnish) has a certain political autonomy.

I have read that if you are curious about the origins of the languages, Icelandic is the closest you can get to Danish, Swedish and Norwegian original languages, so that Danes, Swedes and Norwegians once spoke something similar to Icelandic.

@@TheKIMANO The main reason why modern Icelandic and Faroes remain closer to our priviously common language, Old Norse is due to their isloation compared to mainland Scandinavian countries and for the same reason they didn't get a strong influence from middel low German during the 1500-1600 like Norwegian, Danish and swedish did.

Haha so true

No it doesn't. She speaks totally normally.

sillä on L vika, siks

Sweden has an original Finnish minority that almodt disappeared agree they banned Finnish speaking in public places.

@@shakejuntti8872Banned? It’s literally an official language here. But the Swedish speaking population has declined and bow it’s only about 5% of the whole Finnish population although sone areas and cities still have a Swedish speaking majority or close to that.

@@robinlindholm1525 Yes banned. Finnish speaking population declined because of the politics based on a controversial Swedish racial biology & theory. Speaking Finnish in public palaces was banned. My grandmom was born in Skellefteå and she got a punishment if one of the teachers heard her speaking Finnish in elementary school in the 60s. Finnish language got a minority status in Sweden in a year 2000. The sannings och rättighet komission published a research of the discrimination in 2023. 1/6 Swedes have Finnish background (to the 3th generation).

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) --------------------------

I mean they wouldn't have any chance of guessing if it was something like lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas which is a real word btw lol

@frozencrow8735 Well, that's not really what I meant😂 but maybe there could have been few or one word that would have sounded more obscure for them... that's just my opinion

@tuuli4002 Yeah, i know what you meant, but I guess yliopisto opiskelija or whatever it was, was the obscure word in this video

Maybe that’s true, but it’s still interesting as one gets to learn new words and see more of the similar words - by the way, I highly recommend learning the prettiest / coolest and most unique / refined / heavenly / poetic / modern / perfect languages ever created are Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Danish which have the best word endings and the best letter combinations and the best pronunciation rules / sounds / sound patterns ever and the most magical and elvish sound and the most organized aspect as well as the most pretty words and the prettiest words ever, and Norse & Icelandic are also the most alpha languages ever that are also the hottest ever, while Icelandic & Dutch are also the most romantic languages ever with the hottest pronunciation rules and sounds and sound patterns, so they are way too pretty not to know, and the 6 modern Celtic languages Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic are also magical and elvish and gorgeous, and, one can learn them all 2gether, and one can also learn Finnish on the side, like I do, having over 50 target languages, having started learning languages on my own like one year ago, and I am upper intermediate level in Icelandic and Norse and German and advanced level in Norwegian and upper advanced level in Dutch and intermediate level in Welsh and mid intermediate level in Swedish / Portuguese / French / Italian!

Finnish is charming, Asian and Uralic has total connection with Estonians, Sami and Komi, and the linguistic link with Swedish forms isoglossia and diglossia has no intelligibility at all. Swedish is a Germanic European language. Really very different worlds. 🍷😘😊💛🇫🇮💙🤍👏🍻☺️🤭🫂🤞🍀🥂💙🫂

Icelandic is very similar to Norwegian / Danish / Norse / Faroese / Swedish etc and also quite similar to English and Dutch and German etc, even if it may seem very different at first sight, due to its unique aspect and special letters like ð and þ that only some of the Norse languages and some of the ancient Germanic languages have, most words, especially most of the words that are verbs and nature-related nouns and nouns reflecting time / seasons / weather etc and the most used adjectives and adverbs and most prepositions etc are actually cognates in all Germanic languages, and it’s usually the compound words and some of the newer verbs and newer nouns that tend to be different... Most verbs in Icelandic and Norse and most nouns and adjectives etc that are used the most are also cognates with the Dutch / English / German words, one would be amazed to see how many cognates there are - and they have even more cognates with Norwegian and Danish and Swedish... A few examples... - to set / at setja / að setja / å sette / at sætte / att sätta / te zetten / te setten / te set / ze setzen / zu setzen (to set / to put) - to drink / at drekka / að drekka / å drikke / at drikke / att dricka / te drinken / te drinken / te drink / ze drénken / zu trinken - to see / at sjá / að sjá / å se / at se / att se / te zien / te sjen / te sien / ze gesinn / zu sehen - to will / at vilja / að vilja / å ville / at ville / att vilja / te willen / te wollen / te wil / ze wëllen / zu wollen (to will something / to want something) - to stream / að streyma / å strømme / at streame / att strömma / te streamen & te stromen / te streamen / te stroom / ze streamen / zu streamen & zu strömen (Norse has the noun straumr which is cognate)

The verb at veðja / að veðja (to bet) from Norse and Icelandic is cognate with the Dutch words wadden / watten and the English words wad / wadded / wadding - veðja looks quite different at first sight because of the eth letter and because it uses a V instead of W and a slightly different verb ending, but they are still obvious cognates, or somewhat obvious, so one can still see that they are cognates, especially if one analyzes these words carefully!

I highly recommend learning the prettiest / coolest and most unique / refined / heavenly / poetic / modern / perfect languages ever created are Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Danish which have the best word endings and the best letter combinations and the best pronunciation rules / sounds / sound patterns ever and the most magical and elvish sound and the most organized aspect as well as the most pretty words and the prettiest words ever, and Norse & Icelandic are also the most alpha languages ever that are also the hottest ever, while Icelandic & Dutch are also the most romantic languages ever with the hottest pronunciation rules and sounds and sound patterns, so they are way too pretty not to know, and the 6 modern Celtic languages Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic are also magical and elvish and gorgeous - one can learn them all 2gether, and one can also learn Finnish on the side, like I do, having over 50 target languages, having started learning languages on my own like one year ago, and I am upper intermediate level in Icelandic and Norse and German and advanced level in Norwegian and upper advanced level in Dutch and intermediate level in Welsh and mid intermediate level in Swedish / Portuguese / French / Italian!

Skáld songs are the best introduction to Norse / Icelandic and some of the other Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages as they all have super pretty melodies that perfectly fit these heavenly languages, so they are very áddìctive, so I highly recommend listening to all the Skáld songs (all the lyrics videos can also be found on yt) and learning all the lyrics, which are a great way to start learning these gorgeous languages - I also recommend learning all the Icelandic words from the Go Learn vocab videos, as there are thousands of words that they cover, so one can get to an upper intermediate level by learning all the words from the vocab videos!

Karelian similar to Finnish

it was "neljä jalkaa". yeah finnish and estonian are quite similar, but there are some hilarious differences, e.g. i remember coming across the estonian phrase "kas ruumid on koristatud" which in finnish sounds like "oh my, the bodies are decorated!" 😭

@@untitled6578 we just call it false friends 😁 we have the same way with Russian and Polish, for example "uroda" is Beaty in Polish, but in Russian it sounds like kind of Ugly 😅

The Estonian language is a Baltic Finnish language, i.e. a closely related language of Finland. A lot of the same, but also a lot of different.

@@Hoksaaja you are from Finland, so, what is closer to Finnish: Estonian or Swedish for example?

Was about to say same 😅

Somehow it was the Norwegian who felt the most distant.

Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) --------------------------

No, it’s not lmao

Finnish is pretty, but not one of the prettiest ever tho - the prettiest / coolest and most unique / refined / heavenly / poetic / modern / perfect languages ever created are Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Danish which have the best word endings and the best letter combinations and the best pronunciation rules / sounds / sound patterns ever and the most magical and elvish sound and the most organized aspect as well as the most pretty words and the prettiest words ever, and Norse & Icelandic are also the most alpha languages ever that are also the hottest ever, while Icelandic & Dutch are also the most romantic languages ever with the hottest pronunciation rules and sounds and sound patterns, and then the Old & Middle versions of all the Norse languages and the 6 modern Celtic languages Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic which are also magical and elvish and gorgeous, and then the other Germanic languages like Elfdalian / Greenlandic Norse / Old English / Twents / Swiss German / East Norse / Limburgish / Ripuarian / Middle English / German / Luxembourgish / PlattDeitsch / West Frisian / Austrian German / North Frisian / Hunsrik / East Frisian / Sognamål and all other Germanic languages, and then Hungarian, and then the Latin languages Latin / Galician / Portuguese / Gallo / Spanish / Pretarolo / French / Occitan / Esperanto / Neapolitan / Guernsey / Sardinian / Walloon / Friulian / Aranese / Italian / Catalan / Venetian / Sicilian / Corsican and the other Italian-based languages, and then Slovene which is the prettiest and easiest Slavic language, and then Finnish / Latvian / Estonian which are also pretty or on the pretty side!

​@@FrozenMermaid666Funny how you say they have elvish sound but lord of the rings elven language was based on finnish xd

It may have been based on all three, for all one knows, lol - language creators always use words and letter combinations from multiple languages as a base, whenever they decide to make new languages, so it may have had some elements from Finnish, however, special and super pretty words and names like Arwen (which only reflect me) from that movie were obviously taken from Norse and Welsh, and I have seen multiple words in both Norse and Welsh that look just like arwen, and all these words that have arv / arf / erf / erv / wen / ven / wan / van etc letter combinations come directly from Germanic languages and modern Celtic languages, these types of words and letter combinations being a staple of the Germanic languages and modern Celtic languages which are in lots of words, and I read about that movie, and it was mentioned in the article that Welsh and Norse were used as inspiration for that movie, as I said, and some elements from Finnish and from other languages may have been used as well!

Just as in Sweden lol.

Glad you liked spending time here. :) Kærlig hilsen, En Dansker.

@@benjaminmarker haha manga tak! Skål her fra 🍻

møjn comes from german.

Norwegians and Swedes can basically have a conversation in their own language, and understand most of what the other say without any disruptions or extra explanations like: "what does XXX mean?". I had a lot of fun while I studied in China and one of my friends was from Norway, and me and her often spoke Swedish (me) and Norwegian (her), an everyone else got so confused how well we understood each other.

As a Norwegian I have no problem understanding swedish and danish. Peoples from Finland and Iceland could just as well speak greek😂

I guessed them all - I randomly guessed cat, but I also knew that koira means dog, and I guessed the other words because they were similar to the Germanic words, and the number because I know the numbers, and I am learning Icelandic and Norse and the other Nordic / Germanic / Norse languages and Finnish and many other languages, including the 6 modern Celtic languages etc!

As a Swede I can understand fragments of Icelandic, especially if the context is clear. Most of the time it’s not enough to understand the meaning, but then suddenly you understand a whole sentence, then the next is just jibberish. It helps to know that you need to think in terms of old words or synonyms that could have a slightly different meaning than in Swedish.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).

Closer to Elvish. Tolkein based the Elvish languages in Finnish and Welsh.

well, normal finnish language yes, but when its angry drunken finnish, it sounded more like the mordor speech@@musicevangelist

Finnish doesn’t sound elvish, it has normal pronunciation rules and normal sound patterns, and it does use a monotone intonation! Norse and Icelandic and the other Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages and Welsh have the most elvish / magical sound as they use the most modern / coolest pronunciation rules and have the best and most poetic letter combinations / word endings / sound patterns, and, LOTR is based on Norse and Welsh! Finnish has some words that could be considered elvish tho, for example, the words avain / vain / kuin etc and maybe even Aurinko which are some of its prettiest words that were strongly influenced by Norse / Germanic languages, for example, vain also exists in English and Aurinko is similar to auri (hvíta auri / hvítaurr means white mud in Norse) and kuin looks like a Dutch word with the the ui diphthong and is similar to the Dutch word kuip / badkuip which means tub / bathtub, however, most Finnish words are more on the neutral / neutral-pretty-ish side, so most of them don’t give off elvish vibes, and are more comparable to most Spanish / Italian / French words, which are also more on the neutral-pretty-ish side!)

​@@FrozenMermaid666It went so well, but u lost me when u said islandic and dutch are the most romantic languages ever. u either dutch or islandic, but i would assume u are dutch lol. Swe/Nor typically mock danes for how we sound lol. Dutch isnt "really" any better, no offense ^^

In Iceland, Violin is Fiðla but Viola is simply Víóla. It's proper Icelandic name is lágfiðla (which means low violin - as violas have lower register) but most people just say Viola.

@@Starkardur thank you for sharing that with me!

Finns tend to call violas "alttoviulu" = alto violin. The international form of viola is also used.

@@iwillcontactattorneygenera1078 viola is alto in french. I attended a french/english bilingual university and my instrument was intermittently referred to by its french name.

@@ldsmusician Very cool! Nice to know for once we probably got our word for something modern straight from someone other than the Swedes or English then. Still trying to learn the viola, beautiful instrument. Love that something like an instrument can be the same name, playing and appearance halfway around the world. Unity through sharing culture.

The Finnish names should be spelt Kimi Räikkönen, Mika Häkkinen, Valtteri Bottas. ÄÖ are very different from AO :D

*StoRmare 😏

Zlatan Ibrahimović is born Sweden and have their ID and passport but parents are Bosniak-Croatian.

Bottas ain't that Finnish name (we do not use 'b' in our core language, just in loan words), also Valtteri is a version of "Walther"... but yeah, the top 2 of our F1 drivers would've been quite good examples... There could've been some traditional names inspired by nature like Kalliomäki (rock hill), Susi (wolf), Rantanen ('little' beach), Harju (esker), Korpi (deep forest/wilderness) and descriping names like Suutari (shoemaker), Nälkänen (hungry), Seppänen ('little' blacksmith), or even something like Kouru (gutter) and Patja (mattress).

Skáld songs are the best introduction to Norse / Icelandic and some of the other Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages as they all have super pretty melodies that perfectly fit these heavenly languages, so they are very áddìctive, so I highly recommend listening to all the Skáld songs (all the lyrics videos can also be found on yt) and learning all the lyrics, which are a great way to start learning these gorgeous languages - I also recommend learning all the Icelandic words from the Go Learn vocab videos, as there are thousands of words that they cover, so one can get to an upper intermediate level by learning all the words from the vocab videos!

Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) --------------------------

I heard this a lot when living in Italy as a Finn :D

What does it sound like in Italian?

​@@penttikoivuniemi2146 "D*ck sh*t" is the direct translation. As a Finn you can pronounce it almost perfectly in Italian just by saying katso merda reading in Finnish

I guess people never learn, it is like they put African countries to see if they understand each other.

True. Even slavic languages, or French and Latin, are closer to Swedish, English, German, etc.

I think most people are aware - but the video is about the Nordic countries, not the North Germanic languages. If anything, it's a good example of the fact that linguistic proximity does not determine cultural proximity.

@@GOAT-rl2uq I agree. Culturally the Nordic countries are very close. Very very similar values, even tho the languages are a bit different. Then you look cross the border to Russia and the culture is completely different.

@@herrbonk3635Hindi and farsi are even closer than finnish, they are indo-european unlike finnish.

Well, they’re both official languages in Finland

True ❤🍷💐

She’s the cutest white lady i’ve ever seen.

Makes sense since English is a West-Germanic language

​@@troysmithfr Not sure exactly how you mean? English is still formally classified as west-germanic, yes. However, there was much less of a difference between "west" and "north" back in the 400s AD when Jutes (proto Danes), Angles (proto Danes) and Saxons (proto north Germans) moved to the british isles and created the Old English (Anglish) language. About 400 years after that, English was heavily influenced by (400 years newer) Scandinavian languages. Mainly via the Danelaw in the 800s, where Danish and Old English formed the substrate that together with Norman French would become Middle English (and also by numerous other more or less permanent Danish and Norwegian "viking" settlements, from south to north for centuries).

@@herrbonk3635 Yeah. A lot of our words are rooted/borrowed from other languages

It's a common mistake. People are so used to new loan words coming from English that they think that's where they have always come from.

​@@herrbonk3635some parts of England never moved with the times. In the part of England I'm from we call a child a "bairn" (similar to "barn" used in some of the Scandinavian languages) "hyem" is home etc. Gan is the word used for go, gannin = going (much more similar to other Germanic languages. These are just a few examples. A lot of the Northumbrian Dialect keeps a lot from Old English.

Also, Icelandic sounded like fiddle.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him.

That’s because fiðla and fiddle are cognates, as are most other words in Germanic languages! However, they are used with different meanings! Anyways, the word apple and the apple dpi and the nature related term moss and the numbers cannot be misused in yt names or names or dpi’s and must be changed - foods / fruits are sacred and pure and edible elements of nature that do not belong in someone’s dpi or yt name etc, ppl are the exact opposite of such terms, and it is very disrespectful to foods / nature!

Yes, thats similar to the native North American says: "Ugh!" (that means: "The white man rides from the mountain carrying the long knife and drinking fire water!") ... In different situation "Ugh!" can mean for example "It is time to go hunting buffalos if we can find any because those white men killed almost all of then with their long knives!"

The same goes for Scandinavians, in particular written Dutch and some basic spoken Dutch like "Kom heir", "Goededag", "Mijn huis" etc. which would be "Kom her", "Goddag", "Mit hus" in Danish.

As a Swede I have felt that the Netherlands is the way you describe it.

Because of the Hanseatic League. Scandinavian languages have a LOT of loan words from Dutch that entered via trade.

Worse than that is reading the lie and nonsense that Finland is Nordic Germanic, clearly it never was, Finland is Asian and Uralic like Estonia and Livonia, its sisters.

The Norwegian one is not even Nordic

Bang on, well said. ☺️

Finland should obviously be with the others in videos about anything but language. They are basically the same, except for language where they are among the languages farthest away from the other nordic languages that you could possibly find. It’s the same with farsi (Iran) and arabic languages. Some common loan-words but completely non-related otherwise. This video is basically a comparison of loan-words.

Also väri (colour) is borrowed from Swedish färg. The pronunciation is almost identical.

Meänkieli is not a "mixed" language formed from Swedish and Finnish, it belongs to the same category as dialects of Finnish spoken in Lapland.

As a Swede from northern Lapland I agree. It's easier to understand a northern Norwegian compared to a Swede from Scania. Norwegians use some quirky words but the shared northern accent makes the conversation much more fluent.

Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) --------------------------

A "cuter" way of saying cat in Swedish is "Kisse" or "Kissekatt"

Kissa is already borrowed from Swedish, feminine version of kisse. Another word than katt for cat, and often "kissekatt" when talking with children about a cat.
