I love how the Dutch and Belgian girl said "koffie" the exact same way and the American went "I think that Belgium is the most similar with the American pronunciation of coffee" Edit, because I keep getting comments that miss my point: to me the pronunciation of the Dutch and Belgian girl in the case of "koffie" sounded exactly the same. Therefore, when the American girl said the Belgian pronunciation was the closest to the American one it made me chuckle, because the Dutch pronunciation sounded identical.

I do think as a dutch person, the pronounciation between basic Netherlands dutch and Belgium dutch is way different. And the dutch girl in this video doesn’t speak dutch with a really dutch accent. She is very softspoken and doesn’t pronounce words like most of the Netherlands in my opinion. If you go to other areas in the Netherlands the sounds will be way more hard and more german sounding. Beligum and for us the border areas will souns much softer and with less of a GGgg sound. So for me it would sound more like English then Netherlands Dutch would.

The German lady did not mention that Appel also exists in many parts of Germany as well. It is one key word to mark an important dialect border in the country. It is a result of consonant shift pp->pf which took place in the southern parts, but not in the north west. If you know that many Dutch or English words Paard->Pferd Pepper->Pfeffer become more logical. Other such shifts are t->ss to eat->eten->essen or d->t day->dag->Tag and so on. Therefore, northwestern dialects are much closer to English and Dutch than the South Eastern.

When it comes to "motorcycle", we mostly say "motor" in Dutch indeed, but since we can mostly make out of the total context in which the word is used if we mean the motor as the engine of a car, or speaking about a motorcycle. If we really want to make sure no confusion is possible the word "motorfiets" (which is the official word but "motor" came out out of laziness over time) is used. Now "ziekenhuis" and "krankenhaus" may sound completely different but the way the words are constructed is oddly enough exactly the same. Ziek -> krank -> ill Huis -> Haus - house Zieken = "Ill ones", as well as "kranken", so basically it's a "house for ill ones". Now I don't know about German, but the word "hospitaal" is also an official Dutch word for hospital, but in modern speaking nearly nobody uses that word anymore. Now I've seen two videos already where Karijn is in and her name is sometimes spelled "Karijn" and also quite often as "Karjin".

Funny thing as a dutch guy, germany people understand me more when i just talk dutch then when i try to speak german

It's fun listening to the differences between languages I grew up with.

Standard languages are just a convention, in general a mixture of as many dialects as possible. In the Flemish dialect of Kortrijk (and surroundings) people say 'up' instead of 'op', same pronunciation as in English. In Antwerp the pronunciation of the Dutch words 'fijn', 'wijn', etc. is the same as in English. And in my dialect and many others we pronounce 'bear' (just one example) as in English. And we say 'vir' instead of 'voor' (for) as in Afrikaans. Etcetera, etcera. And when we speak standard Dutch, apart from the different pronunciation (comparable to British English and Amercan English) we have some different words, expressions, slang.

In Germany "Spital" used to be a word for hospital or Krankenhaus as well. I think it is still used in Switzerland as well? And there is still Krankenhäuser/hospitals with the word Spital in their name as well eg Juliusspital. I wonder what caused the language change...

interesting fact about the dutch "Ziekenhuis", in German we actually also have the cognate "Siechenhaus/Seuchenhaus"... which in contrast to hospitals during medieval times were houses/institutions usually built at the city outskirts and only inhabited terminally ill people to prevent certain infectious diseases from spreading amongst the local population. Nowadays its not more than just a historical term though. The English "sick", Dutch "ziek" and German "siech" all have the same word origin I think

The reason there's a lot of shared vocabulary and cognate words between English, Dutch, and German is that they're all part of the same language family: Germanic languages.

Don't forget that Belgium was part of The Netherlands and the official languages are Dutch (59%), French (40%) and German (1%). In official Dutch a motorcycle is called "motorfiets". In German a light motorcycle is called "moped" and in Dutch a "bromfiets". Confused yet?

It's not too weird to have subtitles either, I've seen subtitles for Flemish programs on Flemish tv even when it's not obviously needed because of dialect or otherwise difficult to understand. But yes, it's officially the same language and most Flemish will understand about everything a Dutch person will say. In old days the lack of Flemish channels meant we also watched the Dutch channels a lot. The inverse is a bit more difficult, especially when French(-origin) words are used in Flanders. We can still tell someone is Dutch after hearing only 3 syllables 😛

Vlinder = Butterfly (ltt. Botervlieg), Paardebloem (ltt. Horseflower) = Dandelion, Tortoise = Schildpad (ltt. Shieldtoad). Language is crazy sometimes. You have the typical Dutch word: Fiets, eng: Bicycle, german: Fahrrad. I think the Dutch word is a an onomatopea (derived from the sound it makes), a thing flashing by with high speed.

Shouldn't that be: "Do Dutch and German use same words?" Having said that: Of course they use some same words. English, German and Duth all originate from Germanic dialects, and have Indo german as a common source. All of them have been more or less influenced by other languages (Dutch Belgian, AKA Flemish and Dutch being somewhat influenced by French, which is a Romanic language), yet most of it is still Germanic.

My understanding is there's some kind of Germanic language continuum from German across to English. So Dutch and Flemish are presumably somewhere in between the two.

Dutch by Dutch people. Or 'Nederduits', meaning 'Nederlands', Dutch. You see where I'm going with this. Pretty much as Krieger said. Pennsylvania Dutch e.g. refers to Deitsch, which people would categorize as Low German. But then again... Dutch is also technically Low German. What I'm trying to say is, the distinction is in fact arbitrary. Dutch, Deutsch, Diets, Deitsch, it's the same language branch. Dutch really is used to refer to Netherlandish generally speaking, or Netherdutch (from Nederduits, Nederlands). But then again, Netherdutch just means Low German, and that exists in Germany too... I could go on and on, but, the point is, the borders of the Netherlands are fairly arbitrary. And don't draw a hard line between one language or another. Although it has somewhat become like that due to schools forcing standardization on both sides of the border, pretty sad, because it kills local unique languages AND the bond we share with our neighbours.

I still don’t understand this simple word comparison is such a genre on KZread and I watch them😂

About that last part "Hospital". In Belgium there are 2 words for it and one is Hospitaal, the other is Ziekenhuis(Ziek means Sick and Huis means House).

But like they said in the video, the zachte G also gets used in the southern provinces of the Netherlands, particularly Noord Brabant and Limburg

Cow is pronounced more like coo in northern Britain and Scotland, which was the regular pronunciation before the Great Vowel Shift.

its funny because british english would be weirder to compare. because american english has more dutch influence than british english does. mostly because when new york was still new amsterdam the gouvernment tried to make dutch the main language. but because english is both easier to learn and many people that immigrated into the US already spoke english dutch got kinda blurred out

I love how one side of my recomendations is full etymology research, and the other side is this with "Yeah I think a lot of languages use the same words".

My Swiss German dialect: Kindergarden: Chindergarte or Chindsgi Apple: Öpfel Coffee: Kaffi Cow: Chue Bear: Bär Motorcycle: Töff Train: Zug Green: Grüen Hospital: Spital

Surprised to see no words with - li. Although Chindsgi sort of counts.

@@faramund9865 Well, -li is (with some exceptions) just a diminutive. So, you could add a -li at the end of most of the nouns, and that just makes it smaller (like -chen or -lein in standard german). I would say the diminutive in Swiss German is probably used a bit more often than in Standard German, but it isn‘t as common in our every day language as many foreigners think. But yeah theoretically it would be possible to say Öpfeli, Käffeli, Chüeli, Bärli or Zügli. But if you use these most people would assume that you‘re either talking about a small version (e.g. a baby bear or a really small cup of coffee) or that you are talking to a child. And for the nouns not mentioned before: Chindergärtli would be possible, but I never heard it. Colors have no diminutive I never heard a diminutive for Spital And Töffli is one of the exceptions: Töffli means a moped, while Töff is a motorcycle.

I love these videos but its striking to me how ignorant everyone is regarding language. "we all have some english words" and "many european languages are similar".... well yes.. but also no..... English, just like dutch and german, is a GERMANIC language. All germanic languages come from the same language called proto-germanic, spoken about 3000 years ago. Before that, all indo-european languages come from the same, proto-indo-european, spoken about 5000 years ago. So..... And then theres been different influences on eatchother over time, like latin with christianity ofcourse, greek regarding law, german in the nordics in 1500s, french was big all over in 1700s and influenced with many words, and today english is slipping into everywhere. I thought everyonw knew this .............................. :P :)

I love how she is saying Belgium looks the most on it, like bruh it's almost just the same as Dutch and you thought that was totally diff?! 😭

And there are two plurals for Appel Appels or appelen

In North Germany we say Appel, grön etz. to. she speak High German, Low German is more simular to Duch then to High German.

Yeah, Low German is more closely related to English (or at least Old English), so it lacks a lot of the consonant changes that affected High German, like p > pf.

In the Dutch part of Suriname we say Ziekenhuis and in Sranan Atoso

To be accurate, in Flander many people use hospitaal too for hospital (pronunciation about the same as the English word, only the aa is a sound similar to the a when British people say potato (only you make the sound a bit longer)). I wished there was someone from Suriname among you, a comparison between Dutch Dutch, Flemish Dutch and Suriname Dutch could be interesting

4:48 Karijn's reaction to the audible 'g': huh? nééé😂

Some motors is not just for cars other things too such as vacuum cleaners for a example

Very generally, Dutch sits where it is on the map. Between German and English.

Ria is back :)

0:08 " 'ku' is so much cuter" definetely didnt burst out laughing because "cú", which has the same pronunciation means "ass / asshole" in portuguese

In the Netherlands you have above the river and Below the River below the river the accent looks the most simmulair to the belgium one!

the fact that she says "american words" and not "english words" is making me kinda angry, idk why

High German consonant shift at it again with "green" - „grün“. In my part of Germany (Rhineland/Eifel) we speak a flat German dialect and say jerön, very similar to the Flemish pronunciation

I don't think that's a high German consonant shift. After all, also English has the g sound

Are the words also used like this or do you shorten them? What I mean: "Quả táo" means in a 1 to 1 translation "fruit apple". Would it also be possible to just say "táo" or are there conflicts of understanding?

All these languages are from the same branch. It also would be interesting to see word differences from different language branches. To compare scandinavian, slavic, roman, baltic branches. Would be funny.

Yoo Karijn is echt super cute😬

the dutch girl is LITTERALY saying dutch words with an english accent I cant

Dutch is so hard even Dutch people make mistakes with the language.

I am Dutch and learned English, German and French at school. For me Belgian (Vlaams) really was the hardest to understand sometimes somehow 😂 It's slightly different yet the same so it throws me off.

I think the Belgian lady is from Antwerp, based of her accent. E.g the way she pronounced koningin. In East Flanders we say it more similarly to the Dutch lady I would say.

Karijn is so cute 😍

The flemish (Dutch from Belgium) G is so unique, I don't know if any other language has this soft G

Motor for the vehicle is actually short for it. Since motor is also part of a car, it's confusing

I just add Afrikaans :) we're also really similar ;) kleuterskool appel koffie koei beer motorfiets trein groen hospitaal

Fries (Part of the Netherlands) should have been included too, since it’s kinda a mix of English, German and Dutch

not anymore used to be. Old Frisan and Old English have a lot of similarities.

And you can guess that the Dutch and Dutch part of Belgium speak the same language with a slight difference in speaking but German is different.

I feel like they should have taken English, Dutch, French and German. Bc Belgian dutch is so similar to Dutch from the Netherlands

She says "The Dutch part of Belgium.", for the love of God it has a name.

Nederlan en België zijn echte buur landen die is over naaste elkaar wone is echt vriend, België is nog twee taal wat is tweede taal in België🇧🇪

@07:47 Actually the Dutch word "motor" is an abbreviation of the official word, "motorfiets". This literally translates to motorcycle.👴🧐🤓

7:06 In Belgium not everyone has the french rolling R sound. Many of us have a normal R sound so it would sound the most american if u pronounce it w the normal R sound

its funny that there are some older, less used words that mean the same and sound closer. You can also say Motorfiets instead of just motor, and you can also say hospitaal instead of ziekenhuis, but its just not really used./

I also didnt knew about the word motorcycle that it can be a car in the Dutch word! Really cool to know now! I like these things about words

Nobody in the video said that the word for 'motorcycle' in Dutch also means 'car'. 'Motorbike' in the Netherlands is 'motor' (abbreviation of 'motorfiets'), in Flanders it is 'moto' in practice - the French word. Naya wasn't paying attention and seemed to have forgotten that they were actually talking about motorbikes, and just said the word for 'engine', which is 'motor' in both Flemish and Dutch.These videos are full of inaccuracies. They are mostly just guessing everything.
