hahaha as a native spanish speaker I would say that yeah the italian n' spanish sounds pretty similar, as well the pronunciation of the words are pretty similar the difference are the words.

Idk I mean I can speak both, but I feel like Italian sounds a lot different. Yeah the words are the same, but the way they sound make them a lot different

That's not exactly how Greek actually sounds. That girl has a really strong accent, I guess she's used to speaking other languages as well. I think you would appreciate fluent speakers even more 🤗

@@argiekard5278 my guess is that she grew up abroad and came back to Greece as an adult, or she just never came back to Greece and is living abroad.

no no, her accent was super clear. I mean, she didn't say something wrong/ difficult to understand. but she didn't have the basic greek accent. that's why they said she may be from Cyprus or Rhodes

Her accent is clear but she has a different dialect. That's all.

I had no problem guessing the languages right. The tricky part is getting the country right since several of these languages are not only spoken but official languages in more than one country. Dutch is official in both the Netherlands and Belgium, German is official in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium and Lichtenstein, Italian in Italy and Switzerland, and Greek in both Greece and Cyprus. As someone who doesn’t speak either of those languages, it’s hard for me to distinguish between accents that could be clues to nationality.

I get it some them. Afterall they are European Neighbor's countries 🇪🇺🇨🇵🇩🇪🇧🇪🇮🇹🇪🇦🇬🇷

I was sure about German, thought Spanish first for Italian then recognized it, Spanish was easy later, hard guessed Belgian, had no idea about Greek.

You did good. Greece was a tough one. I think the key with Germanic languages is to ask them to count, and if that doesn't work, I'd ask them what their favorite beer is. It works for me, of course that may or may not work for you.

I disagree , try to learning CHINESE OR ARABICS .

gravata = cravat in English, so Greek had quite an influence in various languages

yes, but actually cravat is derived from Croatian originally, as I heard. I guess. the French started to use the term for the tie which was similar to the tie of the Croatians.

More like Portuguese and Greek share a common ancestor (French, in this case) for certain words.

Most Western languages had a lot of influence from Greek

In Arabic we call tie as “Carafetta” I think we took it from French or Italian.

She is apparently half Greek and half Ukrainian , probably raised outside of Greece thus her accent when speaking greek.

@@wonderlandian8465 even so, she would have never been able to talk with that accent so she's probaby half-Cypriot half-Ukrainian and she simply said that she's from Greece bc why whould an average American know about Cyprus right?

This is absolutely true. You would expect her to get something right with some of the major languages, at least. Dont get me wrong i believe she is a nice person, but she seems to be absolutely clueless to the point you have to ask yourself what actually the point is

She’s probably Cypriot.

Judging by the fact that it took for the Italian girl to mention "pizza" to finally get it (let alone the German fiasco), I dont think the accent was the problem here.

She literally didn't know about mousaka or pastitsio so I don't think the pronunciation was the problem really

Ούτε εγώ, τι φαση; 😂

You don’t?

Americans don't even know what language is spoken there😂

the show has Belgian people with a very clean accent imo, it's surprising to me how hard it is to guess (for me being a Belgian too).

​@@xxstormxx56 I'm American, and we have Belgian immigrants. It really just depends on the person. I've known Belgian people.

I guessed belgium

Plus Belgium can be a trickster as they have 3 official languages (Dutch, German, French), but one thing that makes it different to Dutch to me is that Belgians pronounce 'g' a lot softer than those from the Netherlands

Except americans have no excuse except for ignorance why they wouldn't catch nearly every european language. Just the national crossovers can throw you off. Not knowing which general language family you're hearing is embarrassing.

Dutch isn't owned by the Netherlands. Dutch isn't a language from Netherlands.

they did it with dutch, german and flemish(belgian dutch)

Catalan sounds less sexy than Spanish but they are quite similar

I will correct you in the phrase you say "no way similar to other European Languages". Greek, Latin, Slavic, and Germanic are the predominant European branches that created the Languages. Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and some French come from Latin, for example. But all languages, including English, have a bunch of Greek words in their vocabulary, and some of them are not only for academic purposes. I believe that if she was speaking with a typical Greek accent, you would understand her immediately.

@@gecko3890 Greek is its own language family and while some words in English do come from Greek(since they basically invented some of the things they describe), far more words in English come from Romance languages like Spanish(and maybe French). so an English speaker would recognise more words in a Spanish scentence than they would in a Greek scentence.

She said Ellada 20 times, brother, I wonder what country can it be? ROFL

Right 😂

Many US citizens are used to the accent of Latino-American countries, they have never heard proper Castillian speakers with their specific sounds that don't exist in Mexico or other places like these.

@@antoniousai1989 okay but that still leaves only one option.

@@tonyg1011 Yes, but my point is that they don't understand it is Spanish

My friend for us the brothers of Cyprus are Greeks also like the others places in Greece have their accent,of course is different state but the same nation

@@user-vo5mf3ly9s The title says guess the nationality. In the English language nationality is different from ethnicity. Nationality has to do with your citizenship, the sovereign state's passport you carry. Greeks and Greek Cypriots, share the same ethnicity but not the same nationality. Read my comment carefully, it starts with "since the video is about nationality and not ethnicity", which means that I know that Greeks and Greek-Cypriots belong in the same ethnic group.

Ellada is also a very common Pontian name, she herself said she's from Greece so I would assume she's proably not Cypriot. She might be of Pontian refugee heritage, which would explain the accent.

@@katerinaO_o I am Pontian myself from both parents, Ellada is not a common pontian name and her accent is not pontian at all. I'm fluent in pontic Greek dialect, I grew up with two grandmas that had no Greek schooling because they were born in Russia and spoke only pure pontic Greek. This is a Cypriot accent and Ellada is a common name in Cyprus. The only accent that is similar to that is the accent of Archangelos village on Rhodes, but there are no Elladas in Rhodes as well. It is pretty obvious that they said Greece because there was almost 0 chance that an American would know what Cyprus is. I am just stating the obvious, that the girl is Cypriot. No matter how proud and nationalistic a Cypriot can be, still their nationality is not Greek. The video is about nationality and not ethnicity. Is it so difficult for people to understand what I said?
