Thank you once again to all my incredible Patreon Saint over the years
Quick question. Would you ever breakdown the etymology of Pokemon names?
@@chifuyuko I think he's already done that, at least with the major and recurring character names.
I hate to be “that guy” but the o in my last name is silent. Everyone does it though so no problem. Still a great video though, and I’m proud to be the ultimate Patreon saint.
That's why the nation is so secretive. They're all secretly half dragons with magical lightning powers.
Don't be an idiot. They are full dragon-god shape shifters.
They’re like a country of Jake Longs. I wonder if they had a Bhutan dragon in that cartoon.
@@KlaxontheImpailr
Well! A country of Jake Longs who have King Ghidorah’s powers.
@@KlaxontheImpailr I am not the only one who watched that show.
Hey guys just to say im bhutanese and the the reason we call bhutan the land of the thunder is because its a myth that like a thunder dragon came to a kings palace theres a movie of it idk what its called so have a good day
Bhutan, small mountainous country with a dragon on its flag. Wales: "Hallo Cousin!"
I want to write a story about a Bhutanese dragon visiting Wales and having a crush on a welsh dragon. ❤
That Thunder dragon theory kind of makes sense, because just below further south of it is Meghalaya, the "Abode of Clouds", the wettest or rainiest place on earth, I suppose...
My alma mater (University of Texas at El Paso) was designed after Bhutanese architecture and even has a Bhutanese temple that was gifted by the country of Bhutan.
Wow I had no idea! It's really based off of Bhutanese architecture?! That's so cool!
About 20 years ago i worked at an exotic animal sanctuary and cared for a beautiful tiger named Bhutan, he was cool, and LOVED to swim, so much that he'd wait impatiently, whining and pawing at the door for the hour a week it took me to clean his pool. He'd play and chase the hose stream around like a big kitty with a laser pointer as i washed out the habitat features every day.
Bhutan and Wales, dragon buddies!! 🇧🇹🏴
Good times when China once was part of the dragon buddies too
Oh yeah, I can totally see a power metal band named Land of The Thunder Dragon lml
Kinda sounds like it could be the name of a band or an album.
Badass name, badass flag 🇧🇹, and badass country as a whole.
In the Wheel of Time series of novels, the Aiel people are also known as the "People of the Dragon."
To me, the country's greatest claim to fame is a black butterfly related to the swallowtails called the Bhutan Glory, which I found out about some 50 years ago owing to a relative who was (and probably still is) into entomology. But it took a bit longer to learn what Bhutan itself was.
To me, it's the fact that Bhutan International Airport at Paro is one of the hardest airports in the world to land at. It requires the aircraft to navigate along a series of valleys with the runway only becoming visible in the last minute of the flight.
@@franzfanz And apparently only 6 pilots in the world are qualified to fly into Paro Airport!
@@SiKedek Yeah, captain only.
I showed the flag to my students and they thought it was from Dragon Ball Z.
We Indians can travel to Bhutan without passport . I visited this country last year. It is very beautiful amidst the himalayas and the people are very humble.
We must make sure Bhutan stays there for as long as possible. It's a relic of badassery 🇧🇹
dawg I'm from Bhutan
and the thunder dragon stuff is weird
something was lost in translation
I think it is interesting that druk is so similar to other langugaes words for dragon, like drake in Swedish for example
“Byutan”
Emu for the win. As Australians well know. 🇦🇺
Bhutan, the land with perhaps the coolest flag!
Is the language there a PIE-derived language? If so, is “druk” a cognate of the Latin “draco”, from which we get the English word “dragon”?
Seems to be Sino-Tibetan but still an interesting parallel, maybe a word borrowed from sanskrit?
That's a pretty badass name 😎
Damnnn your here??????
People always conflate total rain with average rain... Britain isn't considered rainy because it gets a lot of rain each rain, it's considered rainiy because it rains frequently, usually drizzle or similar; monsoons and hurricanes are rarer.
AAAAaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaAAAHHH! THUNDER!!!!! Dragon
This is so funny because the country name in Portuguese is "Butão", a slang for "anus"
Well Iraq in Polish is Irak meaning "and cancer" which is worse.
Well, i'm brazilian and I never heard anyone calling anus like that
@@gustavosauro1882
Maybe it's European Portuguese not Brazilian Portuguese. I don't speak Portuguese but I know the 2 verities are different.
@@gustavosauro1882 tu não teve infância então kkkkkkkkkkk
@@yaagodourado talvez seja uma expressão regional
Hahahahaha!
One of you’re shirts, the black one, looks almost just like the low rider man, especially because out of the corner of the eye where it says “Name Explain,” looks like a hat.
Bhutan
one of the possible meanings of "Mexico" is "Place in the Navel of the Moon (Mēxihco)"
hello great videos
South Africa...50 topics to choose from so content gold.
The sounds could be from the hammer of Thor. Of course you might have to be Nordic and maybe have drunk too much mead to come up with
Wow, very informative. All i knew about Bhutan before this video was that it was the best city in South Korea to go in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse
Is it possible it's Busan you're thinking of?
@@llewballantine6678 of course, that's the joke
@@asomelord Is that from a game or something?
@@llewballantine6678 The movie "Train to Busan" actually
@@asomelord Ah ok, I've not come across it before
Name Explain Badassery!
Trust me, you can never be too much of a nerd!
Is it pronounced boo-tan, or byu-tan?
I've always thought it was the former but since this is name explain, I'm assuming... You'd have the more accurate pronunciation? Any authorities on the matter who could provide some clarity?
Same things make us laugh, make us cry
-Big Smoke
The flag legit looks like the dragon is flying on Dragon Balls! 🔥🔥
Petition to stop using Bhutan as the country's name and start using Druk Yul!
I think it's pretty ironic that the only carbon negative country sounds like butane gas
🇧🇹Bhutan has the best flag
One of the most badass names, I found this out when I did research on Bhutan. But I bet that any hoi4 player knows this by heart
That's looks like kaido 🤨
Are you doing well in Life ? love you
🇧🇹
🇲🇪 Montenegro?
He already covered the Yugoslav Black Mountain country in the past.

Mate, why are you pronouncing Bhutan as "Byoutan"?
My daddy says Byoutan is a bastard country.
