Tango, Chivito, and when in doubt, just say "whatever, we hosted won the first world cup" to win any argument. Enjoy this episode! WHY? BECAUSE #URUGUAY!!

It feels weird seeing this serie is coming to an end

As a Canadian my favourite thing about Uruguay is how the main aspect of their identity is not being Argentinean just like how Canadians mainly identify themselves as not being American.

As a uruguayan I really liked this video, nice job!! Though I have to remark a mistake, we are not known as "porteños" those are argentinians from Buenos Aires.

Beautiful country, amazing people, gorgeous flag! Love from Greece!!! 🇬🇷💙🇺🇾

Noah portraying Uruguay boasting about winning the World Cup in every argument is incredibly accurate

Uruguay getting one of the longest videos is great barbs. They deserve it.

First i heard Uruguay because of football now i know lots of things about this beautiful country of Uruguay.. Love from Himalaya country of Nepal 🇳🇵

One of my favourite latin american countries. Love to uruguay from zambia 🇿🇲 ❤🇺🇾

Brazilian here wishing all the best to our Uruguayan brothers. I feel like our two countries have such a great friendship and our history is so intertwined. The one time I met an Uruguayan abroad, I felt a deep connection, felt like "we really get each other", and all my brazilian friends who visited Uruguay have only good things to say about our brothers' country. I hope to visit one day too ! On a sidenote, I just love how in our border twin city Chui/Chuy, the southernmost brazilian street is called "Uruguay street" and the northernmost uruguayan street is called "Brazil street" lol Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 🇺🇾

Argentinian here! I love my uruguayan brothers and sisters. They have a great country and a lot of reasons to be proud of it.

As an Indian who is a fan of Uruguayan football team ,i want to visit Uruguay really bad.Sadly a lot of non football fans i know have never even heard of this country.They really should know about Uruguay 🇺🇾 🇮🇳🤝🇺🇾

I have been to Uruguay many times, since I live in the south of Brazil. It is a lovely and beautiful country and uruguaians are very kind people. 🇧🇷❤🇺🇾

Love Uruguay🇬🇷 from Greece 🇺🇾

As a Bosnian I gotta admit I knew almost nothing about Uruguay before watching this video apart from football/soccer, Luis Suarez (who can ever forget about him lol) Diego Forlan among all the other legends but now I know so much more about it. It’s kinda sad though how in the grand scheme of things when it comes to everything Latin or South American Uruguay is often pushed to the sidelines and ignored entirely or often just called mini Argentina which is really a shame since Uruguay is a really unique and interesting country on its own despite being really small overall and the most underrated Latin American country in my opinion and I really hope to visit it at some point in my life hopefully. Greetings and much respect from Bosnia and Herzegovina! 🇧🇦🇺🇾

I actually have family in Uruguay. When my Great Grandfather came to the US from Russia in 1900's there was a quota so only he and his sister could come here. His youngest brother ended up going to Uruguay and that branch of my family is still there. I have never met any of them though. One day I hope to go

I had no idea Uruguay was so secular! Their culture seems very humble and laid-back, sensible and prosperous. I like it! Plus, their flag has to be in my top 5 favorites, if not my favorite. That Sun is just a whole mood.

I am Argentinian and I liked how much respect you showed by not mixing our cultures. They have a different culture and there is no Argentinian person who at some point has not wanted to be Uruguayan, not only because of the quality of the people but also because of the beaches. Our brothers have a gorgeous country 🎉🎉

Te amo Uruguay desde Indonesia 🇮🇩❤🇺🇾

love Uruguay from iraq 🇮🇶❤🇺🇾

This country is VERY high on my list of places to go. I’m half Canadian half Namibian I feel like I can sympathize w the Uruguayans.

Paraguayan here, love the episode! Despite the fact that we don't share a land border, we paraguayans feel very conected to our uruguayan brothers starting from the very name that comes from guarani lenguage, even though the largest indigenous group that inhabited Uruguay where actally the charruas. I find a lot of uruguayan culture very similar to ours, we love yerba mate and asado, we both had to deal with our argentine an Brazil neighbours in the past and fun fact: the paraguayan war started when Paraguay decided to support one of the political parties in Uruguay but the other party that eventually gain power was supported by the other two countries in the conflict lol But regardless of any conflict or misunderstanding, we will always admire Uruguay, they're such an oustanding country, a great example in our region and we paraguayans aim to persue all the good things that Uruguay has achieve in the last years. Uruguay nomaaa!

I am from Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, me and family love Uruguay and travel to it. They all are our brothers, gauchos. We share the mate, asado, futbol, passion and amistad. A peaceful country with lovely people

8:14 *Fun fact:* Paso de los Toros is also a drink, a uruguayan soda from this town. The Pepsi company bought this drink and sells it in several South American countries.

In Romania, when we try to say that we understand what you're telling, we say "aaah, da" and also to "stop bothering me" or "yeah, like what you say" we say "da da da da da da", which is pretty close to "ta". In Romanian "da" means "yes".

Always at your service, Barbs! It is always an honor to share my country's wildest side with the world, specially since thats one of the most underrated sides of Uruguay! (*which is why I edited the crap out of the video I sent, AND I couldn't find a way NOT to get excited while filming it LOL 🤣*) SUCH A PLEASURE!!! 🫶 💙🇺🇾 ¡Uruguay pa' todo el mundo, nomáaaa! 🇺🇾💙

As a peruvian, we are close to Uruguay and believe them to be our brothers as well as the argentinians. We know that they can hold their ground and even though they have a small population they are titans in the region. They are of course welcome to Peru and we feel welcomed in Uruguay always.

Soy vecino de Uruguay (brasileiro), y les quiero mucho! Saludos desde Porto Alegre!

I visited Uruguay earlier this year and loved it! The 'vibe' there is so relaxed; I have never been anywhere as relaxed as Uruguay. Very lovely country with lovely people!

Love Uruguay from Malaysia 🇺🇾❤🇲🇾

Hugs to all Uruguayans from Costa Rica. Two of the most stable democracies in the region, which invested highly on a welfare state and strong institutions, championing many human rights and with a clean energy network. When Uruguay was in the times of the right wing dictatorships, a lot of Uruguayan scenic artists and other intellectuals managed to escape the repression and they established themselves here, further enriching our cultural scene in the 70s and 80s (together with others from Argentina, Chile, etc., plus Costa Rican artists and intellectuals). Costa Rica is currently suffering the strong consequences of decades with an increase of inequality (with an explosion of criminality), unresolved urban and especially rural poverty and the effects of the pandemic on our economy and educational system, but let's be hopeful that things get back to a more peaceful state. We in Costa Rica never forget that is was Julio María Sanguinetti, the first Uruguayan president after the right wing dictatorship and a great statesman by himself, who said "Wherever there is a Costa Rican, there is freedom". So, hope the best to our brothers and sisters from the Southern Cone. Regarding the video, it is awesome. I just missed the mention and the writers Juan Carlos Onetti and Mario Benedetti (an amazing poet), any of which could have gotten the Literature Nobel Prize, as well as the excelent poet Juana de Ibarbourou.

Love for Uruguay from New Jersey, USA! 🇺🇾

Uruguay is probably one of the least talked about countries in the world, which is a shame because it has so much going for it! The country's geography is beautiful and it's people are wonderful! Plus, I love Uruguayan history, I've studied a lot of it back in 2018. Uruguay also has one of the best national flags in the world!

Love Uruguay from Bosnia 🇧🇦❤️🇺🇾

Shoutout to my favourite astronomer, Julio Angel Fernandez of the Universidad de la República in Montevideo. In a just world, the Kuiper belt would be called the Fernandez belt, since he was the first to propose it.

Fun Fact: Uruguay is so small in land size that is actually bigger than Bangladesh, Greece, Bulgaria, Iceland, South Korea, Hungary, Portugal, Serbia, Austria, Czech Republic, Ireland, Sri Lanka, Croatia, Denmark (Mainland), the Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, Belgium and Israel.

I've been told that the main difference between Argentina and Uruguay is that Uruguay's economy doesn't repeatedly implode due to idiotic policies.

Uruguayan here, great video! One tiny correction, though: "Lago Mirim" is actually not a lake, but a lagoon, so it should be referred as "laguna" in spanish and as "lagoa" in portuguese. Also, "Mirim" is the portuguese name, whereas "Merín" is the spanish one. In short, us Uruguayans call it "Laguna Merín" and Brazil calls it "Lagoa Mirim".

Love from the United States of America to Uruguay! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇾

As a football fan, I always loved Uruguay for no valid reason at all, only thanks to how they play football. Glad to see my unfounded feelings be substantiated massively. Really hope I get to visit one day

When I was told the rules of Truco for the first time by an Uruguayan I legit though he was trolling me. Thanks for reminding me of the best card game to ever exist

Uruguay is a country that I would love to visit or even live in.

28:45 Montevideo film is a Serbian movie about the Serbian (Yugoslav) Football team going to Montevideo for the first world cup haha

As a Brazilian, it shocked me that uraguayans say "Ah, ta" and "Bo, ____" in the same contexts we do, it just sounded so regional, lol

The biggest joke about Uruguay is that while the rest of Latin America is on fire, Uruguay is in the corner minding its business smoking pot

Vamos el paisíto! Uruguay 🇺🇾 🇺🇾 🇺🇾

If latin american countries are like brothers, Argentina and Uruguay are identical twins. But argentina was born 5 minutes earlier so it pretends to be the big brother. A lot of people compare the Canada-USA or the Austria-Germany relationship to Argentina and Uruguay, but I think even that falls short. Being from Buenos Aires (province, not city) I feel more at home in Montevideo than I feel in the northern parts of Argentina, or even in parts of my own province. It is truly amazing to have such a similar country there, always supporting each other, even if we sometimes bicker like brothers do.

I went to Montevideo in 2013 and what a wonderful city and a awesome people they are. Meat and alfajores are SUPER

The most interesting person that I have ever met was a man from Uruguay, who has lived in Japan for about 40 years. I will never forget him. Musashi-san

One of my favourite countries, dunno why 🇺🇾

Love Uruguay 🇺🇾 from Algeria 🇩🇿

It's true Uruguay is not often talked about, but at least in the rest of South America, when we talk about her it's to say how proud we are of all Uruguayans have achieved (in sports, literature, architecture, democracy, economic stability...) and how much we other South-Americans (openly or secretly) envy them.

Uruguay are taking part in the rugby world cup which is starting this week, their first match is against France on the 14th of September

I always love to watch the episode of least talked nation like Uruguay. It's a beautiful and peaceful country, Hi Uruguashans!

23:01 I was waiting the whole video for you to talk about the Andes flight disaster and the way y'all put it you make it seem like it wasn't an *actual real* event, like it was just a movie.

Fun fact: Argentina and Uruguay's only land border is on two islands that fused together in the 80s! Arg's Martin García island and Uy's Timoteo Domínguez island. Another fun fact: I love chivitos, but my favourite variation of it, the chivito canadiense, has a very misleading name as it's neither goat (chivo/chivito) nor Canadian. Also, a correction: Isla de Lobos doesn't translate to "Wolves Island" but "Fur Seal/Sea Lion Island", as these animals are called Lobos Marinos ("Sea Wolves") in Spanish! And, for the music segment, it lacked famous musicians such as Ruben Rada, El Cuarteto de Nos, No Te Va Gustar, and many more! Disclaimer: I'm not Uruguayan, just a rioplatense Argie that has visited many times.

And at precisely 11 minutes and 22 seconds in, I started to consider relocating to Uruguay

Uruguay is one of the most secular countries, while Brazil is one of the most religious. As a Brazilian, I wish I was born in Uruguay lol

Wow!!!Uruguay is one of my favourite respective countries,like Argentina,Brazil and rest of the remaining respective countries in America and I do wish to visit there in future,good friends!!!LONG LIVE URUGUAY 🇺🇾!!!🙏🏻

I’ve been waiting for this one for a few years now! Vamos arriba Uruguay!!

As an Argentine from Tucumán, I would say that mainly the Entre Rios and Buenos Aires provinces are just the same people as the Uruguayans. People from Entre Rios hold their hot water "termos" on the street when they drink the mate, just like in Uruguay

As an argentinian i would say that uruguay is all the good things that Argentina is without a lot of the bad things that argentina has. I love uruguay, i´ve been there 4 different times, it just feels like being in my country but with more educated people and better economy hahaha

🇺🇾🇬🇷 In addition to the flag being very similar, I learnt that Uruguay and Greece share the same "slogan": Freedom or Death. And the Greek flag, like the Uruguayan, does not have a defined shade of blue. So the color has varied over time, being a lighter or darker blue, often depending on the political side. In addition, the Uruguayan sun is very similar to some representations of the sun, in Greek culture, and other flags and symbols in the culture of the countries of the Mediterranean region. They are very interesting coincidences. The Greek flag always caught our attention as Uruguayans at school, because the question always arises as to which country has that similar flag.

My grandmother got to teach over in Uruguay when I was little. So Uruguay has a special place in my heart.

Actually we are not used to find houses/building/etc by property name. It is by street name / street number / bis (is a special term that some addresses have because street number was repeated) / apartment number In some tiny towns (called generically BALNEARIO) they use sometimes property name because there is no street number. So people from that place use street name and the 2 intersection street along property name

Good video. As an Uruguayan, I am going to clarify a few things: - The majority indigenous people were the Guarani, there is a myth regarding the Charrúas, which is highly politicized, so I am not going to go into details. Guarani was spoken until the late sxx or early sxx, in the north of the country. - There have been bigger conflicts with Argentina besides this one mentioned. In the middle of the last century, there was a boundary conflict between President Batlle Berres and Argentine President Perón. And in the 19th century, a conflict with Juan Manuel de Rosas, in which Uruguay was divided into two governments and capitals, between the white and red factions. - Uruguay did not give residence to the Nazis. Those who arrived in Uruguay, like Merkele, were not yet known or wanted. They escaped from Uruguay when they began to be wanted, because in Uruguay they were not going to have government support. Thus, many escaped to Brazil and Argentina. - The Batlle Berres government was contrary and spoke badly of the Perón government, which did give asylum to former Nazi combatants. For this reason and others, Batlle Berres himself considered that the movement known as "Peronism" was synonymous with "fascism." -Uruguay has one of the oldest political party systems in the world, since the Blanco and Colorado parties date from 1836. Even older than the American bipartidism. The Frente Amplio, a "new" party, is more than 50 years old. Uruguayan culture is bipartisan. - Beyond the War with Paraguay, which Uruguayans usually consider a black part of history, there were never bad relations with Paraguay.

I’ve been there a couple of times over the last two years and can confidently say that I never had a cut of meet as good as the Veal asado that I tried over there. Bonus tip: Pair it with a glass of fine Tannat and you will have one of the best dinners you ever had

Man, I’ve been waiting for this video for 4 years and you call us porteños. You killing me

I am really good at geography, but the only thing I knew about Uruguay was that the have a similar flag to Greece. This is so eye-opening! Always love to see your channel!

Uruguay una gran nación, un verdadero ejemplo de como debe ser un país! ♥️🇺🇾

From what I can tell, Uruguayans are likely to be happy that their video is x3 longer then the Argentinian one.

Watching GN and seeing how entertaining and well made the episodes are, I can't help but feel sad that there are only a handful of countries left 💔. I hope GN will still be this enjoyable and educational even when they finish making episodes for all the countries. Maybe we'll see remakes of old episodes?

Uruguayan here, thanks for the episode man

i've lived here in uruguay for the past 10 years but im venezuelan and this is the BEST COUNTRY, i LOVE living here! EXCELLENT VIDEO

I’ve been to Uruguay once, it was a very short stay but I will never forget Chivito, what an amazing meal.

It’s been years. Finally my beautiful country, thank you guys for this amazing video!

Lovely to see a GN video come out just 8 minutes ago, especially one on such an obscure country and kinda out of nowhere Love to Uruguay and all Uruguayans from Australia!

OMG!! The torta Pascualina it's also a tipical dish here in my city Genoa in Italy!! It's so incredibile how the world It's so small!!

I’m kicking myself because I didn’t wait to teach Uruguay and did it Friday with an old slideshow. I am infinitely grateful for these videos, for the research and visuals that I could never accomplish. Through the videos, I’m able to show underserved students that these places are real and beautiful and they learn about the far reaches of the world.

Let’s all agree that Uruguay is essentially the Belgium of South America

As a Brazilian, the "ta" expression surprised me because it's basically the same in Portuguese, it is used in the same context and with the same meaning. I think the "sh" sound probably comes from portuguese too, as some words in Spanish with "ll" are written with this sound in Portuguese (llamar/ chamar).

Uruguay was always that Latin American country I knew about the existence of but didn't really research that much. Great video as always.

uruguay seems like a beatiful country, id love to visit one day. saludos de uruguay

i feel like Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul (the state of Brazil that borders it) are like cousins, they have their differences cause they came from different places (Portugal and Spain), but at the end of the day they are almost identical, both have pampa, both are Gauchos, both love football (Luís Suarez is playing in Grêmio, a Rio Grande's club), both love meat, both had the Charrua people before the german, Italian and french people, both drink mate, they share cities and so on, it feels like almost the same country other than the language

Really want to go to Uruguay some day

I tend to forget that Argentina and Uruguay pronounces their double L’s as a “sh” instead of a “ya” sound.

It was a pleasure being part of this! Thanks for the nice vídeo Paul! 💪🏻

I love our uruguayans neighbours. There is a pop rock band called El Cuarteto de Nos from Motivideo, they are so awesome! It is a must listen band from los charruas. Saludos desde Brasil.

I waited SO MANY YEARS and finally have the Geography Now video with my beautiful country! 🇺🇾 ❤️ thank you so much!

Brazilian here! I was recently in Uruguay and the country is exactly that. I showered praise on all the Uruguayans I met. Everything works well in the country, it doesn't even feel like you're in Latin America. However, the cost of living is very high, I spent a lot of money while I was there. I intend to return soon!

Greetings to Uruguay from Taiwan! As a Taiwanese, I have to commit that we don't know much about Uruguay. However, in Taiwan , there is a famous copypasta says that:『In Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.』(This joke seems to originated from UK). Interestingly, people kind of know Uruguay through this way, or otherwise they know Uruguay because of soccer. --- When it comes to the political part, I found that some people kind of nervous about the close relationship between Uruguay and China, which may influence the alliance between Paraguay and Taiwan. Just some crazy political stuff. However, Taiwaneses are always thankful to some lawmakers from Uruguay that supported Taiwan to Join WHO during the COVID time. --- From the Video, I learned more about this amazing country. The margay cat, ring tail Coati and nutria are so cute. The church of Atlantida looks so beautiful. One of the most interested part to me is the maté tea. People in Taiwan always so obsessed with our own caffeine beverage: hand shake tea. I know that the maté tea comes from a different plant from Asia tea. I hope I can visit Uruguay and try the maté tea and Asado someday.

¡Gracias por hablar de nuestro Paisito! Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾😁

Fun Fact: Southern Hemisphere on average gets more sunshine than the north because Earth is closer to the sun during winter in the north and summer in the south.

Wow... I think I want to go to Uruguay for just the food, looks amazing 🤩

I visited Uruguay (Colonia & Montevideo) when I went to Buenos Aires. Missed Rio de la Plata, but I'm very glad I went there.

fun fact: the team jersey the food guy was wearing was from the club of pinarol which is one of the top flight clubs in uruguay right now and is currently 4th in the uruguayan primera division.

I got introduced to this series two years ago when I was in sixth grade during my Spanish Class. Around that time, Switzerland had just dropped, and it’s crazy to think that I’m only two years, you’ve shaped my personality so much, and now this series is coming to an end. I’m not an OG, but still insane seeing us reach closer to Zimbabwe. Congrats! And thanks, from all of us.

Greetings from a Macedonian to Uruguay! 🇲🇰❤🇺🇾

Recently been watching some episodes from years ago and it's amazing to still see all the familiar faces and also the insane increase of quality compared to the very first episodes. I would really wish to see some remake/revisits of those older episodes as they're not comparable to the newer ones.

Quebrada de los cuervos is a MUST see in Uruguay. One of the prettiest places i've seen! Sadly there's not that much footage in youtube
