You’re old man. You must be really wise. Are you still alive ? Give me blessings when you go up please 😊

I wonder if the old lady was this young lady.

It's the difference between "nofelet" (Nohf-el-et) and "enohpelet" (Ee-nohp-el-et)

I heard "Suomi" and realized it was actual Finnish.

6:39 - It was very briefly clafified that the interpreter was talking Finnish.

@@HunterShows Same.

Thanks for the info. It was strange that they didn’t have a native Finnish speaker so it was hard to know how proficient she was.

@@quizmaster85 It stated that she was speaking Finnish, not how good it was. Hardly any foreigner can speak Finnish well.

😂

Technically, it should be muhsaw!

I was taking note of that as well. I remember them from back in the day.

Sorry dude, they are dead, you wont be able to mate with them :(

@Projekt Kobra yeah no hobos and peasants at all. Every single person was a milionaire. No black wuarters cinese gangs only prosperity. Pls read a history book.

No they wouldn't because she was not speaking backwards, just reversing the letters.

Or if it was all just a sham :P I mean like when she sad "madam" and then the host pretty much called out her BS saying it wouldn't be said the same even though it's spelled the same.

@@johndorian4078 what? That doesn't mean it was BS. Madam is madam. That doesn't mean anything.

@@caroltz8220 I'm not saying it wasn't impressive. I'm saying im to lazy to play them back to see. Although with technology today we could very well test it to see if she was lying. but still, i call BS on it. and the one example of "madam" it confused her so i'll give her benifit of the doubt. But she said it wrong. Madam is not madaM the host mansplained to her how she screwed up.

@@johndorian4078 He wasn't "calling out her BS," he was pointing out the difference between what she was doing and simply playing the spoken form backwards. You added a false context to the show. What she did was in no way a "sham."

She died in 2020 apparently.

Why are you using several "?" marks when one is sufficient?

@@johnjohns6181 trolling for idiots that have nothing better to do?

I totally agree.

I agree. I have been called "Sir" for about two decades. Sure, I could complain; but I think it's a compliment. I like to think that I've earned the title.

I have a very common first name. A popular boys name in the 1980's. I usually don't respond to my first name much out in public and would actually respond to my last name since it is not as popular. I dont like to be called Mr., sir, or a facsimile there of.

@@Wolfshield7 Usually if I am being called "sir' it is usually followed by '...you're making a scene."

@@Kara_Kay_Eschel 🤣🤣🤣

I do not like strangers calling me by my first name. Especially when they do not even introduce themselves. I do not like someone the age of my granddaughter calling me sweety. I do not like to be patronized.

I disagree. Because what she is saying DOES make sense if done forwards. Lol

@@Tht1Gy Actually you are right. She makes MORE sense than today's politicians.

And also rather than say all those names, I would have loved some questions to her -- how old were you when you started doing this? How quickly can you do it usually? Do you have to think about it or does it come easily? This to me is a sign of a very high IQ in her and I wish they had pursued asking about her brain and this skill rather than doing what he did with the names.

@@caroltz8220 I had similar thoughts! He's not the best host, that's for sure. I wish we could rewind time and ask her those questions. 🙂

@@caroltz8220 I totally agree! I don't want to hear him saying the panel's names backwards! And did the one guy on the end actually say something in Finnish, or something in backwards English? They never commented on that!

Without those goofy gameshows, American television is nothing but decisive political garbage. That's the only reason I watch game shows.

I looked it up. The woman in the obit was born in 1947, and her maiden name was Ferrell; she married Broderick Turpin. This Agnes Turpin from Baltimore wouldn't have been married at age 13, when this show aired. So I don't think it's the same person.

@@footofjuniper8212 -- I disagree. Read the "Share a Memory" in her obituary. They called her Gertrude. She was born in 1947 which would make her 13 in 1960 when this episode of "I've Got a Secret" aired. I can understand why you think she had to have been married at age 13. On the program she was introduced as Senga Niprut, which is Agnes Turpin spelled backwards. Her husband was Broderick Turpin who died in 2012. Maybe there is a mistake in her obituary which I'm still trying to figure out. If you look at her photo on the obituary page, you will see that she has features that closely resemble the girl in the TV episode; especially her eyes and mouth. So I stick by my assertion that the 13 year old in this episode and the Agnes Gertrude Turpin in the obituary are one and the same person.

@@Dr.Pepper001 So you're saying she used her future married name at the time of this recording? That should have been her secret. They'd have never figured it out.

Maryanne247 It sounds very staccato just like Finnish.

Lol, close capition, guess it would not be available for this program.

I downloaded the video and reversed it with ffmpeg. You are correct. She isn't speaking backward. She is visualizing the spelling of the word, and then pronouncing the backward spelling. So her words are wrong for the same reason "Moore" backward was wrong. Technically, it's only slightly more difficult to do than speaking Pig Latin.

@@KarstenJohansson Thanks for giving a clearer, more detailed explanation than I did.

@@YY4Me133 Your description was spot on. I just tested your theory, and found it to be correct. I wrote a poem that when read aloud and recorded, says the same poem in reverse. It took listening to a LOT of backward speaking to nail that down, and nothing she said reminded me of backward speaking. What she did was essentially a type of pig latin spelling manipulation that's quite easy to run in your head. Real backward sentences take a LOT more work because even the accent changes everything.

@@KarstenJohansson Real backward speaking would require one to listen to audio played backward to know what it sounds like. I don't think that anyone could do that in their head.

Hawaiian?

Malayalam 😁 I had to google it

Poppycock

I can say it backwards, but not the full thing in 3 seconds. Edit- if I say it as fast as I can, I can say it at 4.72 seconds.

I just watched Val Kilmer slide up the pole in that scene. It definitely does not sound like Swedish.

tryithere Now that is interesting. But if she's reversing the words as spelled... that changes all.

Like someone else said she isn't speaking backwards phonetically.

Thank you. I was wondering if they would play it backwards and it's gibberish both ways. Cute though.

@@mytexasdays1526 idiot she says it like it's spelled backwards. Program becomes Margrop. Not literal backwards

We will have to wait 25 years for the answer.

@@larsanderson3072 Nice comeback

He is aware it would sound ridiculous and in a way undermine her talent. Even when she speaks backwards, her intonation is as if she is speaking forward. Same as how the announcer sounds weird trying to pronounce the names backward, he uses intonation as if he was saying them forward. So they end up sounding weird. Interestingly, there ARE spoken languages that use a reverse intonation structure to English. I was a language trainer and funny enough, this has come up before in discussing secrets to ancient languages where it would seem some ancient people were aware and deliberate about doing this with their 'native' language. Perhaps the bibles statement on God mixing up the languages in Babel has some merit to it after all xD

@@Synconntez I appreciate what you say but how does anyone know she was speaking English backwards? We only have their word for that! The point I was making is that the host was attempting it phonetically after probably trying to do it a very short time. If they'd reversed the tape of the girl, we could have judged for ourselves and if it was her 'talent', why would it have sounded ridiculous?! I do know my mother and her long-standing friendship with a school girl friend of hers created their own language by putting egg in between syllables ... she could almost speak it fluently and they did it so nobody else would understand them. :) When I was about 10 or 11, she used to amuse my brother and I with it and we even tried to learn a bit of it. For example, if she wanted to say treble stamps, it would be treggle beggle stegamps! lol

@@NickJay Oh I see what you mean. To be honest, I also wanted to hear her tape reversed. I actually did have the same wish as you but for different reasons. I just believed she could do it, but I wanted to confirm what I knew about language enunciation and intonation from hearing her tape reversed. Hmmm...am I gullible because I just trust they weren't lying to me? LOL

From the way she said Finnish backwards, it would appear she spells the letter backwards [H-sinn-if] instead of using the verbal eng. pronounciation [Sh-ini-f]. The host example of madam kinda proved the same purpose, the girl said her version [Madam->madaM] while the host insisted on the verbal version of it [Ma-dum -> Mud-am]. So her way of speaking would have not sounded good in forward because she would use the spelling, but english does not abide by its own spellings (rough said verbally becomes Ruf, spelled backwards Hgu-or) Im not sure about the longer sentences she used, but from these few shorter examples she uses the backwards spelling, but spoken english doesnt, thus it would sound nothing like it. But I dont how she didnt give it away, and succedded in making it sound fluend and almost passed for another language.

@@Synconntez I believed what they said about her, too. I thought it might be because they didn't have the technology back then to broadcast video in reverse but then the host showed they did, it simply made no sense at all!

Who knew that Bill Cullen could actually speak Finnish?

Yes, it would be much better with phonemes, I agree. The host muddled it all by giving some examples that were (half) done that way. I think he didn’t really understand the difference. Also, it seems like she was just doing each word separately rather than her whole answers.

@@icturner23 Exactly right. There are people who can do it phonetically so it comes out right if you reverse the tape but that is not what the young girl was doing.

I thought the same thing. I still do.

@@presto709 you're prob right. Can the nd in land and ng in song even be pronounced in reverse???? And when she reversed the word Finnish, her reversal had three syllables. She said it twice with 3 syllables each time. Listened at 50% speed and she said h see nif. Not the h sound, she said the letter h like she was saying the alphabet. H see nif???? Should be shi nif. Wonder if she's delusional.

She didn't even get madam right. The host had to explain it to her. 😭😭🤣🤣

Focking idiot. You think your friend ….

It doesnt work like that

Get a life

I think she was speaking words the way they would sound if you had reversed the letters, which is different than verbalizing the sounds in reverse. So, for example, the word time would be emit, which is different than a reverse recording, which would sound closer to "might"(but still different). So I think you would need to write down what she says first, then reverse the letters.

I found an obituary for an Agnes Turpin of Baltimore, born in 1947, (this girl is 13 in 1960) and it mentioned northing about being on I've Got a Secret, or having the ability to talk backward. Either she had no good memories of this TV appearance, or it was another Agnes Turpin in the same city and the same age.
