Fun fact: The queen of Sweden is half Brazilian and she speaks Portuguese fluently. 🇧🇷🇸🇪 (her mother is Brazilian, and that's why she's half Brazilian)

ponha nossa bandeira em qualquer coisa e a gente já brota

I like how America and Australia were the same, Sweden and Brazil were understandable, even to foreigners, and Vietnam was on a completely different planet language-wise

As a Vietnamese, let me explain why we call many countries like that. The names of many countries went to Vietnamese through Chinese. Vietnamese based on what Chinese sounded to call other countries. Then, they used the Sino-Xenic pronunciation (the Vietnamese type) to call them. For example, "Úc" is from the first syllable of "Australia", or "Pháp" is from the letter "F" of "France". Nevertheless, that was not the whole story. We used Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary by our own way to call a number of countries. For example, we called "Luxembourg" by the name "Lục Xâm Bảo". In the past, many countries had such Vietnamese names. However, during historical changes, many of them were omitted. For instance, we used to call Brazil by the name "Ba Tây". But, today, it is "Bra-xin". As for the name of North Korea and South Korea, it is very complicated. The official name of North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, translated into "Cộng hòa Dân chủ Nhân dân Triều Tiên" in Vietnamese. Meanwhile, the official name of South Korea is the Republic of Korea, translated into "Đại Hàn dân quốc" (the exact name of South Korea in Korean). To be short, we call North Korea "Triều Tiên" and South Korea "Hàn Quốc". In the past, in North Vietnam, they were called "Bắc Triều Tiên" and "Nam Triều Tiên", because the translation of "Republic of Korea" was word by word "Cộng hòa Triều Tiên". Meanwhile, in South Vietnam, the two parts of the Korean Peninsula were called "Bắc Hàn" and "Nam Hàn". Since 1975, Vietnamese have called these countries by the aforementioned ways. And the current Vietnamese government seems not quite pleased when people call North Korea and South Korea by the old ways, although there is no official regulation on this issue. For the suffix -ien, I learn German and I can explain its origin. This suffix comes from the suffix -ia of Latin and -ia means "the land of...". For example, Mongolia means "the land of the Mongols". Germans use the equivalent -ien with the same meaning. So, probably, the story is the same for Swedes. I did not get satisfied with the explanation of Oskar in this video, so I write it now. As for the letter "ã" in Portuguese", it is a nasal vowel. Basically, it happens when you let an amount of air go through your nose. In English, there are nasal sounds indeed. But, they are not nasal vowels but nasal consanants. For example, the -ing suffix has a nasal consanant. Also, it is not true to say “Hợp CHỦNG quốc Hoa Kỳ”. It should be “Hợp CHÚNG quốc Hoa Kỳ”. Thanks for reading and responding my comment!

Finalmente chamaram alguém do Brasil! Tomara que continue aparecendo mais vezes :)

I hope this week be pretty cool, especially with the new additions of new countries, learn a little about Sweden 🇸🇪 and Vietnam 🇻🇳

Imagina se fosse o nome de alguns estados e cidades brasileiras? Queria ver eles tentarem falar Pindamonhangaba, Pernambuco, Guaratinguetá, Itacuruçá, etc... 😂

I love how the Australian guy asked a lot of questions and was so curious! I think you can tell he’s interested in languages 😊

Just one observation is the queen of Sweden is Silvia Sommerlath and she is half-Brailian and she speaks Portuguese fluently. It was pleasant to see the participation of a Brazilian person (like me) on the channel. Please, bring them more often.

The "Brazil" 🇧🇷 name is almost the same song in each language of these countries

I am Swedish and it was quite fun to see the others get confused about our language with the en:s in the end of country names but some had rike instead. Good video!

Did you notice that the Brazilian and the Swedish are the most extroverted? hahaha

É impressionante como o povo brasileiro é contagiante.

Vietnamese: USA- Mỹ or Hoa Kỳ 🇺🇸 Swenden- Thụy Điển 🇸🇪 Australia- Úc or Úc Châu 🇦🇺 Brazil - Braxin 🇧🇷 North Korea - Bắc Hàn 🇰🇵/Triều Tiên South Korea - Nam Hàn 🇰🇷/Hàn Quốc France- Pháp/Pháp Quốc 🇫🇷

A moça convocou todos os brasileiros kkkkkkkk

O engraçado é que o cara dos Estados Unidos praticamente destrói o cara da Austrália, os dois falam inglês. O australiano chega a falar triste kkkkkkkkkk tipo, "o que estou fazendo aqui ?"

Milagre que chamaram do Brasil, isso é raro de acontecer nesse canal, só vão chamar outro brasileiro em 2025 ou mais.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I like Português 💙

USA, Brazil, Australia & Sweden: Can we agree on similar names? Vietnam: Lemme intruduce myself

O Brasil é tão foda, que até em Vietnamita o nome do nosso país é parecido com o nome original em Português, kkkkk.

That's interesting, Vietnam has totally different names for all countries, but not for Brazil...which they call it "Brazil" too!

2:10 just answering his question in a more correct Way: The ~ in Portuguese means that the vowel that is under it makes a nasal sound. So in words like maçã it's very important. Otherwise it would sound like like massa. But, when the vowel is followed by a M or a N, it's nasalated as well, even without the ~. Like the first A in Cama (cãma?). So, if Vietnam was writen like this, it doesn't need the ~, but if it written like Vietnã, it does. (If not, it would sound like vie-TI-na)

In Korean 🇰🇷 :D 1. The United States 🇺🇸: 미국 ("miguk") The exonym was derived from the Chinese exonym of the U.S, which is 美国 ("meiguo"). Miguk is basically a korean way of reading 美国 : Mei/Mi, Guo/Guk 2. Brazil 🇧🇷 : 브라질 ("beurajil") 3. Australia 🇦🇺 : 호주 ("hoju") or 오스트레일리아 ("oseuteureillia"). The exonym 호주 (hoju) comes from the Chinese exonym 澳洲 ("aozhou"). The same goes for Hoju/Aozhou on which I mentioned above with Miguk. 4. Sweden 🇸🇪 : 스웨덴 ("seuwēdēn") 5. Vietnam 🇻🇳 : 베트남 ("beteunam") people from the older generation would call Vietnam, 월남 ("Wolnam"). This comes from 越南 ("yuenan") 6. South Korea 🇰🇷, North Korea 🇰🇵 : 한국 ("hanguk"), 북한 ("bukhan") Take in note that this is from a South Korean terminology. The North calls themselves 조선 ("choson") 7. France 🇫🇷 : 프랑스 ("peurangseu") A very old, barely used exonym for France is 불란서 ("bullanseo"), which comes from the Japanese transcription of "France"

Fun fact: in Brazil, Peru (country) means turkey (the bird). But we also call the country "Peru".

The sweedish guy probably forgot to mention to the brazilian girl a cool piece of information: Queen Silvia of Sweeden is of brazilian origin, since her mother is brazilian. In fact she lived in São Paulo with her family for several years and even studied there, being fluent in portuguese. And coincidentally she even wears the "Tiara of Braganza", which belonged to the second Empress of Brazil, Amelia of Leuchtenberg, during the 19th century. When Empress Amelia died several decades later the Tiara was left to ther sister, which at the time was the Queen of Sweeden. The Tiara was then passed within the Sweedish Royal Family and now adorns the head of Queen Silvia during state occasions. So a Tiara that belonged to a brazilian Empress is now used by a Queen of brazilian origin.

Every time I speak of this subject I bring up that Turkey is both a country and an animal. The same animal, in Portuguese, is Peru, which is also the name of a country. It's funny because it is a completely different country!

Vendo isso, só mostra o quão lindo nosso idioma soa. Além do tempero no sotaque em inglês.

Já é de conhecimento global que botar a bandeira ou nome do Brasil no vídeo aumenta as views em pelo menos 50% kkkk

what one invites two people from english speaking countries for? Their names for countries are actually the same.

Poderiam ter explorado mais, e trazido nomes que não fossem diferentes apenas na Ásia

Why does Swedes sounds so amazing... I've been listening to random swedes speaking to check if it's only that few swedes but ... No... Even the locals... Their swedish and english speaking is just... Wonderful... Even their voices.... Sounds like a music to my ears

Fantastic idea. Different cultures and languages side by side in conversation and teaching and learning and having fun together. This is what I dream about a NEW WORLD. Love it.

Aparece alguma coisa ou alguém do Brasil. Brasileiros automaticamente: 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 BRASIL

I loved to watch, nice content guys 👍🏻

O que ele provavelmente não sabe é que a rainha da Suécia é filha de uma brasileira e morou em São Paulo durante infância...

Vietnã tinha um apelido pra xingar ou elogiar os EUA durante a guerra né? pq o nome certo é mto comprido...

Finally a brazilian portuguese! Please, make videos with her and spanish speakers to compare words and expressions

Como brasileira 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️ amei ter uma representante nossa

A língua do Vietnã é praticamente o alfabeto Latino ocidental como a gente se escreve mas é uma fábrica de acentos nas palavras

You guys should have invited a Finnish person, would definitely have made things even funnier

In Finnish: 🇺🇸Yhdysvallat/USA/Jenkit 🇧🇷Brasilia 🇦🇺Australia 🇸🇪Ruotsi 🇻🇳Vietnam 🇰🇷Etelä-Korea 🇰🇵Pohjois-Korea 🇫🇷Ranska

For Vietnamese, most of the country names were taken from Chinese words, since we had a long history of cultural intertwine between the 2 countries. So Thuỵ Điển was derived from a Chinese word (瑞典) for Sweden.

It would be so interesting to have a Greek person taking part on this, explaining meanings and etymology of all the worlds being adopted from other countries

Como ele disse existe uma família real na Suécia E a Rainha Sílvia embora nascida na Alemanha morou muitos anos aqui no Brasil...

Brasileiro sempre é animado kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Kind of rare (and nice) to see a language that doesn't just shift the pronunciation of a foreign name around a little. Vietnamese goes all out, which I appreciate.

Because I speak Chinese, some of the “strange pronunciations” of Vietnamese sounds familiar and is easy for me to guess. Maybe next time World Friends can invite more east Asian language speakers so that Vietnamese won’t be that bewildering.

brasil sempre representando o portugues

brasileiros como sempre roubam a cena... maravilhosa a menina

Either Von 🇺🇲 is really short guy or Ken 🇦🇺 and Oskar 🇸🇪 are too tall , great video

Japanese words for South Korea and North Korea are pretty similar to Vietnamese ones. South Korea is called “Kan-koku”, which is abbreviation of the official name “Dai-kan-min-koku”. That’s also how they call themselves “Tae-han-min-guk” and “Han-guk”. North Korea is called “Kita-chosen” which literally means North Korea. “Chosen” is the word that’s been historically used to refer to Korea as the whole peninsula.

"In Brazil we say Estados Unidos ou estadunidense". YES. Let's all remember "America" is a continent and "American" is any person born in this continent.

A brasileira é a mais engraçada

Achei engraçado a Brasileira achando curioso o fato de a Suécia ainda ter reis, sendo que a rainha da Suécia, Sílvia, é filha de uma Brasileira, nasceu na Alemanha, país do pai dela, mas de qualquer forma, tem origem Brasileira e fala Português, kkkkk.

🇺🇸😎: Que orgulho de ser Americano 🇧🇷😌: Eu também 🇺🇸😐: ... 🇺🇸😡:

It would be very interesting to see Sweden and Germany in one video! I'd very much volunteer :D Jokes aside, I'm German and it astonishes me how similar the languages in the north of Germany sound to each other and also to German! Not so much north, Dutch but Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, even Danish kind of. I don't know that's just awesome. I love languages!

In Japanese 0.Japan=Nihon/Nippon 1.USA=Amerika/Amerika gasshūkoku/Beikoku 2.Vietnam=Betonamu 3.Australia=Ōsutoraria/Gōshū 4.Sweden=Suwēden 5.Brazil=Burajiru 6.South Korea=Kankoku/Daikanminkoku North Korea=Chōsen minshushugi jinmin kyōwakoku(Kita chōsen) 7.France=Furansu

I'm Brazilian 🇧🇷 and I loved the pronunciations in Vietnam 🇻🇳 ^^

Very nice post ! Thank you so much.

Haven't watched this yet but I think it'll be fun since I'm a fluent vietnamese person that got born and growed up living in Sweden and also understands American and Australian, so the only language I don't know is Portuguese but I do kind of know Spanish tho and those two are quite similar so yep this would be fun watching for me.

0:54 in Vietnam we say "Hoa Kì" only or shorter and most popular way is "Mỹ" (because we call the America continent "Châu Mỹ"). The part "Hợp chủng quốc" means The United States. 2:49 well "châu Úc" is the Australia continent, Australia the country we just say "Úc" or can say Australia too. 6:33 in Vietnam "Triều Tiên" means the whole Korean peninsula and "Bắc" means the North so "Bắc Triều Tiên" is North Korea, but we call North Korea as "Triều Tiên" for short. When study or reading about the Korean War, we call them "Bắc Triều" (N.Korea) and "Nam Triều" (S.Korea, "Nam" means the South) 6:57 the word "Nước" means country so we can just say "Pháp" only.

🇻🇳 In Vietnamese, USA = Hợp chúng quốc Hoa Kì but she said “Hợp CHỦNG quốc Hoa Kì”. Hợp chúng quốc means “united states” while Hợp “chủng” quốc means “united races”. Many Vietnamese miss like Huyền. Some name Huyền say wrongly: - Australia: Úc not “châu Úc”. Úc is a country. Châu Úc is a continent. - Korea. It is quite complex. In Vietnam, Korea is a country name after the peninsula which have 2 name are Triều Tiên (朝鮮/조선) and Hàn Quốc (韩國/한국), or “Hàn” in short . So North Korea and South Korea can be call by 2 way but must be corresponding: - If you call South Korea is Nam Hàn, North Korea should be Bắc Hàn. If you call North Korea is Bắc Triều Tiên, South Korea should be Nam Triều Tiên. However, the official name of North Korea in Vietnamese is “Cộng hoà Dân chủ nhân dân Triều Tiên” (from 조선민주주의인민공화국) or “Triều Tiên” in short; the official name of South Korea is “Đại Hàn Dân quốc” (from 대한민국) or “Hàn Quốc” in short. So if you call South Korea by official name, you also must call North Korea by official name: Hàn Quốc and Triều Tiên. Huyền called Hàn Quốc (official name) and Bắc Triều Tiên (informal name) is so weird.

i viscerally need more oskar content

Legal que todos falam o nome do país, menos o Estadunidense uahahahsjsjs

OMG, that was a really funny video that i liked too much especially both the swedish the Vietnamese ones 💙 keep going ✋

FINALLY A PERSON WHO SPEAK PORTUGUESE, AND SHE IS FROM MY COUNTRY!! THAT'S SO GOOD

The Brazilian girl has Sao Paulo accent. Rio accent is very different. In Rio people would say the same words but with a different sound such as: "Viechinam", "Aushtralia", "Ishtadosh Unidush". Rio de Janeiro sound is basically: s becomes sh and r becomes less retroflex and more sharp.

É a primeira vez que brasileiro aparece . O vídeo vai fazer tanto sucesso que daqui a pouco o quadro é só de brasileiros

Gostei, muito bom o conteúdo

Vietnamese Corrections*: USA: Mỹ/Hoa Kỳ (nobody says “Hợp Chủng Quốc Hoa Kỳ”, that’s like saying “People’s Republic of China” instead of just “China”) Vietnam: Việt Nam Australia: Úc (*NOT Châu Úc, that’s Oceania) Sweden: Thuỵ Điển Brazil: Bờ-ra-zin North Korea, South Korea: Triều Tiên (“Bắc Triều Tiên” is straight up Google Translate and no Vietnamese says that), Hàn Quốc (this is translated and shortened from Korean -> Mandarin -> Han-Nom -> Vietnamese) France: Pháp For the Vietnamese girl, I don’t know your background but you have a Northern accent so I’ll assume you’re from there. Note to you, please don’t use Google Translate to find the names of the countries. Most of your answers are Google translations, I’ve checked it. It’s just embarrassing messing up a continent with a country .

Loved this ❤️ 💖

As a Vietnamese, i can ensure that we never call countries' names as the way the Vietnamese girl in the video calls. Maybe she purposely calls countries' names wrong to make the language different from the others or she just forgot her mother tongue, but we never call the US as "Hợp chủng quốc Hoa Kỳ" but "Mỹ" (informal) or "Hoa Kì" (formal), Australia mentioned in the video is a country, not continent, but she misunderstood it as continent. And France at the end is not "nước Pháp" but "Pháp". "Nước" is only the suffix added behind name of country and it can be understood as the word "nation" in English!

Vietnamese and chinese are so similar in the way we name the countries. Interesting to know

The Swedish name for France actually goes all the way back to the year 400 when France was called Francia. France was once a monarchy/kingdom (monarki/ett rike) so the word Frankrike is a modern/developed name from Francia.

Giản dị, thật thà , điều mà anh chị đã làm được trong lòng tất cả mọi người. Thật sự tôn trọng và ngưỡng mộ 2 anh chị. 2 anh chị luôn giữ cái cảm xúc này luôn nhennnnn 💋💋❤️❤️❤️

This is so cute! I love this very much.

I recognized that when it comes to countries' names, there are some connections between Chinese and Vietnamese

It was fun to see a swede and for sweden being included

chamaram uma nóia pra representar a gente... Amei ela! Quero mais!

Den här var så bra!

Should have grouped the Vietnamese girl with the Chinese, Korean and Japanese girls since their languages have more in common. Of course she feels out of place when being grouped with Western languages speaking people.

Sou um homem simples vejo a bandeira do Brasil e automáticamente Clico no vídeo. 🇧🇷

só marcando presença !!

Finalmente alguém do Brasil!

Woah! My dads been telling how Vietnamese sort of sounds like Hakkanese. I didn’t believe him until today. 😱

I think I talk for all Swedes, we get really proud when we see other country’s talk about Sweden😂

Brazil was also a Kingdom in its very beginning. In fact, it was an Empire. The king of Portugal came over to Brazil with the whole royal family and the court together with over 15k Portuguese people fleeing Portugal because of the French "King" and warrior Napoleon when he invaded Spain and then Portugal afterwards. In 1808 the King John VI from Portugal arrived in Brazil and in 1922 his oldest son - the Prince Don Peter I declared the Independence of Brazil from Portugal and crowned as the first emperor of the Empire of Brazil. His son His Majesty Don Peter II has assumed the throne and in 1889 Brazil became a Federative Republic over a coup of the Braziilian Army against the royal family that has been exiled to France and never got the Empire back ever since, unfortunately.

Brazilian says Australia and r just like finnish🤗

o foda é que geral se comunica em inglês, mostrando que realmente é uma das línguas super populares no planeta, e que mesmo originalmente todas essas pessoas falem línguas completamente diferenciadas e distintas, o inglês quase que "une" todos eles mesmo com todas as diferenças.

OMG, the Brazilian has the same dialect as russian

Lời chào từ người VietNam rất vui cùng đồng hành 🇻🇳🇧🇷🇦🇺🇸🇪

I would love to see a dane in a video at some point, that would be awesome hahaha

I like the fact tha the only "normal" name of the countries the girl from Vietnam said was Brazil.

Aí é foda amigo, cadê a legenda em PT-BR?

Finally i find this kind of vídeo, I Always want know

Cool !

I've always thought it's presumptuous to pronounce the name of a country in any other way than what they call themselves. It's like the silent x in Mexico. The US is like, "may-hay-co?" We couldn't possibly pronounce that! So, although I find it irritating the way the US pronounces Mexico, (and other countries), I laugh each time I hear some one say, "BEX-ar County, Texas," when the x is silent...just one syllable: bear. I loved this video! Thanks!

A moça vietnamesa é muito fofa kk

Thuỵ Điển and Úc are the Chinese loan words, the Chinese do not have an alphabet, so they chose word that has similar sounds. In the past, Vietnam used Chinese as the official writing system so we took these words with Sino-Vietnamse pronunciations, which is sometimes very different from the Chinese sounds. Specifically, in Chinese, Sweden becomes Ruìdiǎn (瑞典), which is pronounced Thuỵ Điển in Vietnamese. Nowaday, some Chinese loaned words as changed to direct Vietnamese sound-translated, or being kept the English word. For example, in the past, Washington->Huáshèngdùn(华盛顿)->Hoa Thịnh Đốn (not quite the original sound). Now, it is either written as the original form Washington, or Vietnamse form Oa-sinh-tơn. For the USA, the official name in VN is "Hợp Chúng Quốc Hoa Kỳ", but normally we say Hoa Kỳ, or nước Mỹ. Hoa Kỳ is also a (ancient) Chinese loan word "花旗", which means the flag with flowers, Mỹ is a newer Chinese loan word, aMerica ->Meiguo (美国)->Mỹ Quốc or Nước Mỹ.

Any country in existence: So, that’s what I’m called. Please use that name to refer to me. Vietnam: I think I’m gonna name you Bob
