German and Dutch belong to the West Germanic language family, a family that also includes English, Afrikaans, Yiddish, Frisian amongst others.
German is an official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.
Dutch is an official language in the Netherlands, Belgium, Suriname, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten.
While German and Dutch are quite similar in terms of vocabulary, they do differ significantly grammatically. German has 4 cases while Dutch has none.
Dutch has only two genders- common and neuter. Common stands for both the feminine and masculine, while neuter stands for most objects without gender. However, German language has masculine, feminine, and neuter.

Low German/Low Saxon/Platt is a language that is both in Northern Germany and in Northern Netherlands, has a lot of dialects but is mutually intelligible across the border! I am from Groningen and if i speak Gronings (Dutch Low Saxon dialect) people from western Netherlands cannot understand this but people from East Frisia can.

Even though Deutsch (German) and Dutch are closely related belonging to West Germanic group, they’re not mutually intelligible as some people thought. I recall a funny short story by Johann Peter Hebel when I learned German. A German man traveled to Amsterdam and asked people about the owners of the houses and many things there using German language. The locals always answered “Kannitverstan” so he was amazed that “Mr. Kannitverstan” was very rich there. Actually the Dutch people said “Kan niet verstaan” (German: Kann nicht verstehen = I can’t understand you). 😂

I have to remember that story 😄 Also, i am german. My whole family is. But the city my dad lived in had its own dialect, which i couldnt understand at all (bits at most). It was very far removed from high german. Once when we were on holiday together, there was a dutch hotel worker there. As an experiment i asked my dad and her to talk to each other in their native tounge. And voila! They understood each other perfectly. My dad's city was about 150km from the dutch border btw 😅 I am still sad my dad didnt teach me his dialect, as it is dying out, and there is not even a book to learn from. Only thing i can say is [phonetically] "chiv mey n water" 😂

In Dutch we actually do have three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter (or indeterminate as we call it)), however the differences between the masculine and feminine have been desolving over the years. Because of this they are at current virtually indistinguishable, yet they remain seperate in an official capacity. It is also worth noting that just like in German gender distinctions only exist in the singular and disappear in the plural.

@BobWitlox Жыл бұрын

Exactly. Masculine and feminine just use the same article, "de". Modern English has traces of genders too. E.g. the ship and her crew.

@RealConstructor Жыл бұрын

I have one remark, the neck/der Nacken/de hals. De hals is the word for neck, but we also have ‘de nek’. De hals is used for the front side and de nek is used for the back side of the neck/der Nacken. So we have two different words for one anatomic part of the body. Just like English has chest and back for torso. It is strange that English hasn’t got two different words for the front and the back of the neck. To my knowledge German has, der Hals und der Nacken, just like Dutch. So English is the odd one out here, not Dutch.

the neck is divided in german in the Front part (der Hals) and the back of the neck (der Nacken). So you could make similarities more visible. We can also say "Danke sehr" instead of "Vielen Dank" to "thank you very much". Idk just to point out the similarities more. :)

Dutch was once used by English speakers to refer to all West Germanic speakers on the continent. High Dutch was German (Hochdeutsch) and Low/Nether-Dutch was the language of the Netherlands. But when Germany unified as a country, instead of going with Dutchland they called it Germany, after the Latin name for region, Germania, to show of they're very well read lmao. After that, Dutch stuck only with people from the Netherlands

Very good video. However, as a native Dutch-speaker I don't agree with your statement about Dutch having only two genders. Dutch has three genders: male, female and neutral. Yes, the male and female nouns share the same article ("de"). However, it is important for anyone who wants to speak correct Dutch to remember the noun's gender. Why? Because you need to know the gender when you're referring to the noun. For example, "de stoel" (the chair) is male. If someone asks you "waar is de stoel?" ("where is the chair?"), the grammatically correct answer is "ik weet niet waar hij is" (literally "I don't know where he is"). On the other hand, "de tafel" (the table) is female, so with table you have to say "Ik weet niet waar zij is" ("I don't know where she is"). Using "hij" (he) or "hem" (him) when referring to a table is incorrect Dutch.
