"to confuse the Americans" Im not American but I felt that

The guy just gave a high five to his non-existing clone. Twice. And it ended up looking good. He also edited the sound so that Spanish and French speak at the same time. He deserves an Oscar.

German is just there, smirking deviously

As a translator and teacher of French as a Second Language who also speaks German and Spanish, I must say that I thoroughly enjoy your clips. However, on this one, I need to explain that if we say "son heure" and not "sa heure", it's not because the word is suddenly masculine; it is because the word "heure" starts with a vowel sound because of the silent h (we are obsessed with words starting with vowel sound, I grant you that) so we use the masculine possessive adjective for l'euphonie (the way language sounds). We do this with all feminine words starting with vowels/vowel sounds: son amie, son auto, son arrivée, etc. However, if there is another word in between that does start with a consonant, we revert to using the feminine form of the possessive adjective: sa meilleure amie, sa nouvelle auto, sa dernière heure... Thanks for coming to my TED Talk ;)

Spanish and French's friendship is very important to me.

The way Spanish say "obviously" at the end is so innocent and wicked in the same time

Me "one egg is male, two eggs are female, okay?" My husband trying to learn Italian "I just wanted breakfast 😭"

in italian, the word "egg" is masculine, but "eggs" become feminine, so they're not the only language who like to troll

As a native Spanish speaker and someone who is learning French, I can tell you, it’s not just to confuse the Americans, it’s to confuse the whole universe if possible.

And that's how Spain and France became best friends.

i take Spanish classes for 6 years now and one day we were learning about masculine and feminine words and we learned that chairs in Spanish is feminine and the boys freaked out because they were sitting on “females”💀😭

Correction: « une heure » and « mon heure » are both feminine. « mon » is used because « ma heure » wouldn’t sound right.

“A WORD CAN BE FEMININE AND MASCULINE?! I HAD NO IDEA!”

"To confuse the americans" That had me dead 💀

The "oBvIoUsLy" was so cute 😂

I first heard „when its possessed, it becomes masculine“ :D

It’s their motto at this point- “TO CONFUSE THE AMERICANS”

“TO CONFUSE THE AMERICANS” As a french person , I can honestly say that it not only confuses the Americans , but us too 😅😭

Italian, talking to Romanian: JUST STAY SILENT

As an Spanish native, I enjoy seeing the non-natives confusion hahahah

"TO CONFUSE THE AMERICANS!" I'm laughing so hard everytime 😂

“TO CONFUSE THE AMERICANS!!!” Look at how excited they look tho 😂

'To confuse americans'💀 Le canadians tryin' to learn French as official language 🥹

Azúcar is ambiguous. It can be el azúcar or la azúcar. It can be moreno or morena.

How countries became best friends: US and North Korea: “Yeah Donald and I are so close.” Belgium and the Netherlands: “Yeah we speak the same language.” France and Spain: “Yeah we just wanted to confuse the Americans.”

There are 16 ways to say 'The' in German depending on the gender and case. If Loic does stuff on German I'll love it

French's excited expression while saying "Cmon you want to switch it up a little" 😂

As a indian studying french i felt that hard,😅😅

,,You have words with two different genders, that's insane!" Latin and german: Hold our beers

As a native spanish and broken french speaker, THIS IS TRUE.

"to confuse the Americans" I'm American and I speak Spanish semi fluently

In German we don't switch on occasion, but we have words that are masculine, feminine and/or neuter at the same time. You can choose the article you like most.

French and Spanish were the duo we didn’t know we needed 😂

French and Spain be friends about change feminine in masculine..... German language laughing in the background with all different articles

"El agua" is actually feminine. It seems they don't teach very well down in Mexico.

You’re teaching me more than what Canadian public school has been teaching me for 12 years lmao

i'm american and i'd like to say they did their job pretty well

As latina, I think even we think that those words are confusing sometimes, but is fun when someone who’s learning spanish is confused because of it

This actually makes a lot of sense because “my hour” feminine would be ma heure and in French you can’t really have two vowels next to each other. Hope this helps EDIT: the H is silent (most people don’t pronounce it but in ‘heure’ it’s acceptable)

You should do the rule where at the end of every word in eur except “ heure” doesn’t have an e even when it’s feminine

Me learning French for about 5 years straight: **sad relatable noises**

Meanwhile in Philippines and Japan: *"We both have so many words that depends on the sentence and can be used to mean something differently"*

This is the best way to brush up on my school French!😂 Greetings from Sweden!🇸🇪

Universal doesn’t need an Oscar he needs a vacation

Spanish and French are just too adorable I can't 😭✋

"TO CONFUSE THE AMERICANS!!" As a spanish person we actually make jokes about that xD

“To confuse the Americans” Me: MISSION COMPLETE 👌

We switch verbs and adjectives too . Different verbs for feminine and masculine, and we have unisex

"To confuse the Americans" *Смеётся на русском* 😂😂😂

I love how Spanish and french are like brothers here when they technically are because they're both Romance languages.

I saw a video that said "feminine" and "masculine" are just shorthand for differing rulesets that happen to apply to things that have male and female denotation like dogs

as someone like 65-70% fluent in spanish as a second language, “el agua fría” kills me every time

“Confuse the americans” England: am i a joke to you

At first I was like “Yeah that doesn’t make any sense” “We’re doing this to confuse the Americans!” Me: ... Me: CONFUSE THE AMERICANS!!!! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

I'm an American and now I want to cry

Agua (water in Spanish) is always feminine, but words starting with 'a' or 'ha' are never introduced by "la", but by "el" instead. E.g: EL hAcha rojA (the red axe), EL Agua limpiA (the clean water), but in plural you'd see LAS hAchas rojAS and LAS Aguas limpiAS (although the plural in "agua" is always poetical and adds no meaning).

Bruh his emotion on every character is on point like they're completely different persons What? How did someone notice this comment

German: *laughs in masculine, feminine and neutral and the crazy amount of "the" depending on what type of sentence it is*

It took me a lot of time to understand about it xD To explain for people: sa (his/her in feminine form) is becoming son (his/her in masculine form) when the feminine noun starts by a vowel or H in order not to have two vowel sounds in a row : son stylo / sa voiture ; son ami / son amie

At least they haven't thought of tense deviousness yet.... Like my language 😂

Tbh I didn't even realize El Agua Y Las Aguas changed gender, it just comes to you without even thinking about it

The personality he gave French is for some reason wholesome and I can’t put my finger on it

As a professional American I can confirm I am confused

Before writing, why there was genders in language was to have that descriptive switch. Imagine the word flow(h)er, and flow. 🎉

I love how Universal Language is like the dad babysitting Spanish and French 😂

The switching between el and la isn‘t actually that rare in Spanish. Agua is always feminine but, because you can‘t have two consecutive stressed a‘s, as in lA Agua, the “la” becomes “el”. The same happens for words like hambre or asma.

I too would also like to switch up between femenine and masculine a little

And to fight back we decided to have no rules and let chaos run rampant

"To confuse the Americans" should be our planets biggest objective.

" To Confuse The Americans "........😁😂🤣😭 (* Falls off the chair* )

In Romanian we have masculine nouns, feminine nouns and neutral nouns which are defined as being masculine in singular form and feminine when plural

Italian is table like TavolO and TavolA and yes I can't explain it myself either.

“Look, French, I already let you have feminine and masculine words which is already insane” *Cackles menacingly in der, die, das, dem, des, den*

I'm an American, and can I just say... Well played. Well played.

Amour (love) and orgue (organ, the type of piano) are masculin when singular but feminine when plural.

Accent on point. Comedy gold. Knowledge brilliant. I think I found my favorite multi-language comedian.

Honestly. “Confusing the Americans” is enough motivation for me to learn German, French, and Spanish. I love your content and I hope you’re having a good week Edit: finally fixed a spelling error

I know Spanish french and english, so this is hilarious

This is why I just swap the masculine and feminine words and do it the wrong way because if you can understand what I'm saying, then it's not an important rule.

In Italian Bellissima is feminine and Bellissimo is masculine they both mean beautiful

The friendship between French and Spanish is just adorable (Edit: MOM I’M FAMOUS)

I love French and Spanish friendship, it's just essential.

As à french, i can agree

The word does NOT change his or her gender, the article changes so as to adapt to the initial vowel thus avoiding the hiatus.

Obviously we're doing this to confues the Americans" Me whos irish and still confused:no you've confused everyone

When Spanish got to know that you can switch the gender of a word: *you have officially unlocked the dictionary of confusion*

I remember feminine and masculine confused me when I had french at school. We have masculine and feminine words in my language too, but often when one word would be feminine in my language, it would be masculine in french. And I couldn't remember which form to use.

Why is no one talking about the painting in the back 💀

His acting according to the languages is amazing.

French be like a little kid have something customized so innocent 😇

Waiting for them to learn french for organ, orgue, is masculin when singular and feminine when plural (same with "amour" and another word)

We have this also in Italian. Il dito (the finger - singular): masculine Le dita (the fingers - plural): feminine

"To confuse the americans" Americans: *Retaliates by switching their own gender as they wish*

Agua is a feminine word in Spanish, but when it's singular, we use the masculine article so that there isn't two vowels that merge into one, thus causing you to say "lagua" Same thing happens with the word "águila"

In French when the word start by a vowel, the determinant takes a consonant at the end. Une Heure, Mon Heure, Une Orange, Mon Orange, une Ambulance, Mon Ambulance …

Universal language is my spirit animal.... In my French exams, I gave up on learning the genders and correct inflections. For gendered etc words, I just went with whatever came out my mouth/pen first. If I couldn't remember verb endings, I just slapped on an 'r' or an '-'. Still got a C (I took the foundation exam, so that was top marks). Also, I didn't learn the difference of 'their' or 'there' for an eternity, and learned the French alphabet before the English.

French and Spanish being besties on this and showing support is so funny 😂😂

The part of " feminine and mascuiline is confusing enough" German:Evil laughter with feminine ,masculine and neutrum Edit: Gee good lord 2k likes, thanks guys-

As a spanish speaker, I felt that

Italian also has words that change gender depending on number these words usually have a second plural form of the original gender with a different shade of meaning. for example "bone" is masculine but "bones" is feminine. but if you mean lots of separate bones (so not like "the bones in your body" that are something you see as a whole but "the bones you give the dog" which are many but taken singularly) then it's masculine again. also also there are some words where the feminine plural form and the masculine singular are exactly the same. and words that are only feminine or only masculine but if you follow the rules to change the gender you get another word that has nothing to do with the first one.
