That is interesting, did not know that 😄

I imagine that DI , in Italian is more classical than using GIORNO. For instance, in operas lyrics, we usually see the use of DI.

Bom dia, boa tarde, boa noite. 😀

My dad uses buondì more often but he is in his 80s. It is a more formal way but absolutely still used and correct. also cielo in italian not celo. Celo means 'i conceal'. Azzurro is lighter blue. Very nice video!

Oh wow, thanks!

Thanks for clarifying, I was a little confused with that one 🙂

yeah, it is always easy to understand the other languages, because there are always similar words, maybe used in other contexts, but that can be easily understood :)

Salut Fred, merci beaucoup pour ta réponse, maintenant c'est clair alors 😊. Vielen Dank und Grüsse aus Deutschland! 😄

So now I’m confused.

Je n'en ai aucun

catalanes dice 😂

Oh thanks a lot for the correction, and glad you liked it! 😄

Si quelqu'un dit "J'ai un chat" on peut lui répondre "Moi, je n'en ai aucun" Per i colori, l'azzurro e il colore della maglia della nazionale italiana, il blu e come la maglia della Francia, un poco più scuro, il celeste è come la maglia dell'Uruguay, chiamata anche "La Celeste", più chiaro dell'azzurro..

wow :O

Thanks a lot, happy to hear 😄

yeah, I find it very interesting too, glad you liked the video :)

Totally agree! That is actually why if you speak Spanish, you can understand a lot of Italian without studying it (or other languages too, though for instance spoken French can be more difficult to the big differences in pronounciation)

Thanks! :)

@@CouchPolyglot Ja sabeu en el passat un Regne anomenat Corona d’Aragó que en aquell moment el català i l’Aragó eren una llengua oficial en aquell moment controlades per parts d’Itàlia. Per què a Sardenya hi ha alguns parlants catalans 😁

Muchas gracias, Sandra, me alegro de que te haya gustado :)

thanks a lot for adding this, that is why it is easy to understand other romance languages if spoken slowly (e.g. if someone speaks Portuguese to me slowly, I will understand almost everything). I would say this applies to Italian and Spanish, for instance, or Spanish and Portuguese. Probably not to French, as the pronounciation is really different 😄

Also 5:00 catalan has the Word llaurar that means "to work the field" and 4:10 the Word Azur whoch means blue but only refered to shields or flags and sometimes the sea; 11:00 as Well as natal Just like french means native. Also we have the Word "nounat" used for babies that just born (i think newborn Is Also a Word in english). Favor Also means favour in other romance languages, "por favor" literally means "as a favour"

We have in Spanish also: Jornada = daily time you spend doing something (jornada laboral, jornada escolar); Apelar or Apelativo (= a nick, a way to call somebody in an informal way); Haber (to have); Laborar (= to work) also laboral, laborable...; can as dog exists also as synonim of dog in Spanish (as well as the adjective canino); placer as a verb was the old way in Spanish to say like: Me place estar de vacaciones but nowadays it is out-dated but easy to understand as aimer (amar in Spanish, specially in SouthAmerica they use this verb as in French: Amo viajar!); finally, Navidad comes from Latin Nativitas,-atis which refers to the birth (nacimiento) of Jesus. Same way as Natal is the adjective in Spanish and which are derived Nadal or Natale. Also with a lot of verbs that where common in old Spanish: placer, tornar, trovar, arribar, laborar... still in some Spanish dialects use this expressions as in Argentinian: Arribos (arrivals); laburar & laburo (work), etc...

Hi Ben, yeah, French seems to me the most different one of the four too. In Spanish, there is the so called "plural expresivo", which is used for things that are not "really" plural, like in the case of "buenos días" for a "single good day" (here you can read more: markwconnolly.wordpress.com/2018/06/20/applause-for-the-plural-expresivo/). Hope it is interesting! 😊

Thanks a lot for your kind words, this motivates me to keep going :)

Thanks for the correction and glad you liked it 😄

I am from Barcelona and speak roman dialect with my mother and She pronounced "Sky" with double L as Ciello

@@unanec Unfortunately we have so many dialects that it is impossible to have a good knowledge of all of them 😅, but it's very interesting, I knew people from Rome say things like "er" instead of "il" like: "er bagno" instead of "il bagno", but I never knew how to say sky in roman dialect!

@@CouchPolyglot yes, in italian there are two E and two O like in catalan. Salut! 😊

@@AitorKravitz in catalan there Is the neutral vowel (schwa), catalan has 8 vowels so she Was right if i am not wrong

@@unanec I said that in my comment, I spoke about neutra... But my comment was overall because many people think that italian has the same vowels than spanish (like she recognized), but italian has 2 E and two O like in catalan.

I would say it depends on which language you will be needing most. I would personally learn one first, and then the other. In my experience it works better, but learning both at the same time is not impossible either :D

Yeah, I get this feeling with romance languages in general. For instance, we do not say "jour" for "day" in Catalan or Spanish, but we have words with the same etymology, such as "ajornar" (in Catalan, "leave it for another day") or "jornal" (in Spanish, work that is done in one day). And that is just an example, I feel like this happens a lot 😄

Something interesting, in Catalan the word jorn also exists, és un sinònim de dia. But dia is much more used than jorn. In Occitan it’s the complete opposite, though the Occitan word dia does exist to say day, jorn is much more used. Also in French there is the word di, but it’s rarely used, jour is almost exclusively used, same for Italian with the word dì. Català: El dia (lo dia, es dia en dialectes) El jorn (lo jorn, es jorn en dialectes) Occitan: Lo jorn (eth jorn en gasgon) Lo dia (eth dia en gascon) Français: Le jour Le di (almost unused nowadays, even regionally, but does exist) Italiano: Il giorno Il dì

@@CouchPolyglot in a way yes you do because actually jour/journée and giorno come from diurnum (tempus) which is cognate with dies from which día comes from. Also, the -di at the end of french and italian names for the days of the week come from dies.

non è la prima volta che sento questo! M'agradaria molt parlar amb algú que parli aquest dialecte :)

@@CouchPolyglot ti scrivo in italiano perché ho visto che lo parli molto bene; dunque il dialetto trentino appartiene alla famiglia delle lingue romanze occidentali (come il catalano) e in particolare alle lingue gallo-italiche, essendo una specie di “transizione” fra il lombardo e il veneto; una delle sue caratteristiche è avere anche diverse parole di origine germanica (come forse sai già l’attuale Trentino, cioè la provincia di Trento, assieme all’Alto Adige/Südtirol e all’attuale Tirolo austriaco faceva parte di un’unica regione “Tirolo” che per molto tempo ha fatto parte dell’impero austro-ungarico prima di passare all’Italia nel 1918), per esempio: bòcia (bambino), matèl/matèla (ragazzo/a), prosàch (zaino), paar (paio), sine (rotaie), stanghe (sbarre del treno), sparzi (asparagi), articioch (carciofo), staif (forte, robusto), ecc. Esistono poi alcuni “falsi amici” con la lingua italiana, per esempio “esser tesi” in trentino significa “ essere sazi, aver mangiato troppo” ma in italiano vuol dire “essere nervosi, preoccupati”; oppure “tastar(e)” in trentino significa “assaggiare” ma in italiano vuol dire “toccare”, o ancora il taccuino in trentino è il portafoglio mentre in italiano è il block-notes, ecc. Purtroppo ultimamente il dialetto trentino si è molto “italianizzato” e diversi termini originari sono quasi scomparsi, ma comunque viene ancora abbastanza parlato, anche se non sempre dai giovani. Adess provo a scriverte qualcoss en tel me dialèt, che l’è el trentìn de Trènt (l’è en po’ diferènt da quel de altre parti del Trentin e anca dal ladìn, dal zimbro e dal mòchen, le altre lengue che le ven parlade en Trentin oltre al taliàn), spero che te pòdi capirme. Temp fa ho conossù na siora trentina che la me contava che per laorar l’era nada a viver arènt a Barcelona, e la m’ha dit che le prime volte per capirse co le altre persone ela la parlava en trentin e lori i ghe rispondeva en catalàn, e i se capìva ‘bastanza bèn. E complimenti per il canale, mi iscrivo subito! :)

But it's not cognate with the word for work in Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, french. It's tra+ballare, cognate with Bailar and similar words to dance. The Italian cognate is travaglio.

@@CouchPolyglot Sardinian, especially in the south, had a great influence during the catalan administration, we have a lot of loanwords, legiu for ugly, aici for so, matessi for same, and so on, there are too many to put here a list We even use this idiom : no conoscit su cadelanu, he doesn't know the Catalá, to address someone that can't speak correctly or talks gibberish

interesting :O

@@CouchPolyglot count on me for whatever you need! 😊 ♥️

You are right! :), also we do have "joiós" in Catalan too, but it is not used as often as "joyeux" in French I would say

@@CouchPolyglot That is interesting, many times Catalan is the only romance language that shares similar words/vocabulary with French.

@@eliezerkraiman48 actually French and Italian are the closest romance languages in vocabulary. And also Joyeux --> Gioioso

yeah, the pronounciation at least is a lot similar 😊

@@CouchPolyglot last comparing, in italian we can say "Felice Natale" it was proof very similiar with spanish. 😎

For South Sardinian (campidanese) I’ve never encountered bona diri, I’ve only even seen/heard bona dí, but diri might be a variation? For North Sardinia (logudorese/nuorese) I have definitely also heard the verb tenere used; deo/eo/jeo apo binti/vinti annos as well as deo/eo/jeo tengo/tenzo/tenjo binti/vinti annos. In North Sardinian centru isn’t very common, tzentru or even chentru in some Nuorese variants is used, centru is more Campidanese. The verb piachere is also piaghere/praghere. Other than that it’s great to see someone posting about Sardinian! Gratzias medas!

Also I forgot, in Campidanese, further South (like in Casteddu) it’s praxi, further north close to south Logudorese it’s praxiri, and praxeri in the variants of central Sardinian that are ambiguously either or.

@@deoirdanandrei1512 si, l'apocope della "ri" è tipica della sud-ovest, diciamo nella fascia dal Sulcis al basso Campidano, andando verso oriente, sarrabus e Ogliastra la ri persiste e si usa diri al posto di "dì", così come nei verbi quindi trovi essiri al posto di essi, e così via, l'uso di centru in logudorese è stata probabilmente una svista o l'autocorrettore del Cell, non passando per il CROS non me ne sono accorto

@@deoirdanandrei1512 si ovviamente logudorese e campidanese si infiltrano l'un con l'altro nelle zone di mesania, con prestiti nei vocaboli e nella fonetica, solo qualche stolto persiste nel dire che campidanese e logudorese siano due varianti scarsamente intellegibili l'un con l'altra

that is interesting! Grazie :)

it is different indeed, you could compare "j'ai vingt ans" with "tengo veinte años", and "he comido" with "j'ai mangé". In French both use "j'ai" (avoir) but in Spanish two different verbs are used
