To save a Google search for plebs like me unfamiliar with Romanian, their word for heart is directly translated as soul, which is why it's instead derived from anima.
Indeed. :)
Salutare din Romania!
that´s right.
"Inimă" - from latin "anima" soul and "gură" from latin gula ( throat) similar with italian "gola". Explanation for the ones who think it's just slavic influence.
There is also in Romanian ”bucă” which signify cheek.„Țeastă” (like in It-Testo) as head
gola also exist in Spanish as throat and some derivated words as the verb "engolar", but it is not very common. Gula is one of the main sins (greed) and is also from the same root as gola
@@AdamSlatopolsky gula is gluttony, not greed
Existe aussi le français gueule pour les animaux.
Verbe: engueuler quelqu'un.
În romana avem si "cord"
Salut in limba romana toata comunitatea latina mondiala !

Latin did not die, it only evolved over time, transforming into the Romance languages, the most beautiful languages in the world, inheritors of the legacy of ancient Rome.
😆🤦
If you knew enough about language, you'd say every language is equally beautiful.
In fact, we understand Latin very well, because there are many other words derived from the Latin word in the Romanian language to denote elements from the same family. For example, in Romanian we also have CORD for heart. For the mouth, the CAVITATEA BUCALĂ is also used. The ear canal is the CANALUL AURICULAR. The nose has two NĂRI. Blood is LICHID SANGUIN... etc.
All of the words presented for Romanian are of latin origin, just that they had different roots of the latin words
@@InAeternumRomaMater This is true. Furthermore, Vulgar Latin in the east of the empire was slightly different from that in the west, although legionaries were sometimes sent from east to west and vice versa.
But ROMANIAN also underwent a HEAVY re-latinization in the middle of the 19th century. So it’s hard to know how much romanian today is INHERITED or LOANWORDS from french, italian or latin itself.
@@mariodezert Hahahaha! You are Hungarian, right? Or did you just read Hungarian theories? :))) We know Hungarian theories! You are very funny! If you are Hungarian, I wonder how you did not manage to Latinize yourself, considering that you joined the Roman church and Latin was the official language of the church and the Hungarian Kingdom from 1006. Until 1844 Latin was the official language in Hungary! And yet, it's easier to understand a horse than an Italian! :)))
@@mirceadraga7421 wow you think I’m hungarian? Ask first before assuming idiocracies lol.
Some Romanian words, even if not similar to other Romance languages, have Latin roots, too. "Inima" heart comes from Latin "anima" soul; "gura" mouth comes from Latin "gula" neck
Sardegna ( Italia) ...limba= lingua=limba ... Romania
The basic meaning of "nares" pl of naris, (Acc. narem) is "nostril" and the Romanian word "nara" is inhereted directly from it, while Italian "narice" and French "narine" come from a Late Latine derivate;
Except spanish, all the other languages in this video, inherited the word for nose from "nasus".
"Picior" =foot; leg comes from Late Latin petiolus
Ojo is unintentionally an accurate picture 😁
OjO
XD
5:02 in Brazilian Portuguese there is also the term "Testa" which refers to the face more or less.
In fact, we just use “Testa” for “forehead”. And it exists in European Portuguese too
Testarudo, testaferro, testuz, testamento
"Testa" is forehead.
In Spanish there are some remnants of that in the adjective "testarudo" which means "stubborn".
In Romanian "heart" is "inima" but also "cord".
Operatie de cord = Heart surgery.
The word for "mouth" is indeed "gura", but there is a word "imBUCAtura", which means "a bite of food" ---- im-buca-tura = in the mouth --- in-boca.
Cu cine ai facut limba romana? Cu femeia de serviciu de la scoala? Te mai dai si interesant pe-aici! Nu exista in limba romana "inbucatura". Este "IMBUCATURA"!
@@m.dewylde5287 Daca nu te-ai da profesor pe-aici nici nu te-as fi bagat in seama! E plin internetul de analfabeti si semianalfabeti, deci n-ar fi fost nimic nou sub soare.

French also use "chef" and "caboche" for 'head'.
Viva os latinos 😎
Si lunga vita ai Latini.
Salut !
TESTA em português é a parte frontal superior da CABEÇA. TESTA também é do verbo TESTAR.
In Spanish we have the word testarudo , which is something like hard headed.
This particular selection of words often seems to identify Romanian and the most common "odd-man out" - but that's mostly because it typically uses other closely related Latin cognates for many words where the other Romance languages often trace their descent from the same other Latin word.
More typically, WRITTEN French words often look the most different, but when you hear some of them pronounced it becomes much clearer they're descended from the same Latin word.
On the other hand, French has a particularly pronounced tendency to drop final vowels (turning them into a "silent e" at best), stop pronouncing final consonents and drop certain consonants from the middle of words entirely - making many such words sound very different from those in other Romance languages even though their written form may show a closer resemblance.
I suspect French is, for this reason, the hardest of the Romance languages for other Romance-speakers to learn to read and write...
I don' think so.... In my opinion, as a Portuguese speaker, it seems the Romanian is the most difficult language to read and understand. Spanish and Italian are very easy for me. French is so so... But Romanian, it's almost impossible to understand.
@@sanrmg, I agree completely with you
@@sanrmg That's funny since for me as Romanian, the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are equally easy and they don't even compare to French, which is the hardest for me (especially when spoken).
@@sanrmgIo sono italiano e per me il francese è stata sempre la lingua più facile da imparare. Il portoghese e il rumeno per me sono le più difficili.

@@YonelCerimoniós In Romanian, salut!
Brat is probably from Slavic bratĭ "to take"
@@ahemenidov1900 no, he just wrote it without diacritics. it's "braț" (pronounced as bratz) coming from latin brachium (arm)
In portuguese, we preserved some of the original roots and writing when we refer to some technical adjective about that body part. For example: when is something about the eye, we use "ocular"; when it's something that concern to the ear, we say "auricular", and so goes on. And, in the law writing, we call the head text of the article, the "caput".
same in Italian!
Same in Spanish
same in French
It's beautiful to see that we are all connected by our proud latin heritage 🥰

In Spanish we have bocado.
5:09 Italian word for head means forehead in Portuguese 😅
An even funnier false friend is burro- butter in Italian, but to a Portuguese speaker...freaking hilarious 😆😆😆 I had a funny moment in Italian class when I first heard the word, but afterwards I realized that the word "butter" in Italian is actually a very obvious cognate of the French equivalent "buerre". Anyway, I digress
Originally in Latin "bucca" meant cheek; mouth cavity, while the mouth was called "os" which could be confused with the word "os" (bone also in Romanian) if mispronounced. In Romanian, we have Bucate (food dishes) from the verb ÎMBUCA from in+buca (in mouth/ eating), kitchen/cuisine is Bucătărie, but also the Bottom cheek is BUCA!
In French we also have "caboche" for head
That's a really familiar word but yes, before this video I never realized this familiar word came directly from latin.
Haha so cool, capoccia in italian too. Very interesting.
In romanian, "căpățână"

nice video, would be cool if you added their pronunciation in the ipa!
Generically, ''bucca" is not the Classical word for 'mouth', it would be ōs, as "bucca" specifically means "cheek", "mouth cavity" or ''jaw'' and would only refer to the mouth colloquially, sort of like ''gueule'' in French when referring to human mouths/faces. It eventually came to mean mouth as a standard form, but that was post-Classical era.
You could say the same regarding Auricula being a colloquial variant.
This seems to not be Classical Latin at all. If we have to give it a name, it's Late Latin.
Buca in Romanian is...butt cheeks
@@nestingherit7012 that you know, in reality ”bucă” is cheek but could have the other location. BTW ”buca” is the form for singular, which you don't realize again.
"Inimă" is also called "CORD", but it is used more as a medical term.
For exemple: "Operație pe cord deschis" means Open-heart surgery.
"Cord" comes from strings ("coarde" not "corzi").
This word denotes the fact that the heart is a muscle, and that its mechanisms by which blood is pumped work like a system of strings.
"Cord" - is a late loan (from Greek "Kardia" ..in Latin "cor"") through French "carde" and used as a medical term. It has nothing to do with the "coarda" = "string". We cannot know if it originally existed in the Romanian language or not, but if so, it was replaced by "anima" ("soul" in latin, .. "in the chest is the soul" ..) which became the current word "inima' = "heart". There are still isolated communities of romanians in the historical Maramures in Ukraine who say to the word "heart" .."suflet" (soul).
no one say "cord" usually
Why is the catalan so close to Roumanian?
I also wonder. I noticed the same thing with Sardinian, many common linguistic elements with Romanian. It could be that these communities were more isolated from the rest so the original vulgar latin didn't change that much.
Awesome video! I came from Reddit

Occitan should've also been featured
My beloved and closely related Occitan language certainly should appear here but only provided it’s truly spoken in the streets of its linguistic area. But given that it’s unfortunately not the case, you’ll see my Catalan language here acting excellently as itself and as the occitan representative at the same time, at least until this serious shortcoming is solved. Such is life !
< Well, in fact both are actually quite similar, so it sorta does the trick >.
inima , or cord
Maybe it would be good to see the Latin accusative forms as well, given that most western romance nouns derive from accusative/ablative forms.
in italian you can even use the word "capo" but it is more formal
Nice video! Is there any connection between the French word "corps" and the way it is usually used in English, the Marine Corps, the US Army Corps of Engineers, etc.?
To see that the word for ear in Latin is "Auricula" and all the other 6 nations say something different but all similar to one another, makes me think, what happened here, bro? 😂😂😂
Spanish oreja:
auricula>oricla>orecla>oreila>orelia>orella>oreja.
The English word audio comes from latin too.
In reality all those language derived from Vulgar Latin (which derived from Latin)! In Vulgar there were already some transformation to Latin, so Romanian and Italian have ”urechi” and ”orecchio” (but clearly those are related also with "Auricula"!)
Father and children❤
Digitus in Spanish sounds similar to dígito which means number
To be more specific, it means the number of numbers, for example, if you say the code has 10 numbers, you say: el código tiene 10 dígitos

🇮🇹🤓Originally in Latin "bucca" meant cheek; while the mouth was called "os" which could be confused with the word "os" (bone) if mispronounced.
In romanian is .... bottom cheek!
how nice it would be to create a union of Latin states within the European Union. If we spoke with one voice, we would be the most powerful. We would bring Latinity back to the forefront of the continent's leadership and become a greater force than the Roman Empire was. Language and a common history unite us. Unite Latinity, it's time again for a new Pax Romana.
You say in italian " capo" for head also.
Si dice testa. Il capo non è usato nella lingua parlata, ma solo in alcune rarissime espressioni proverbiali. Esempio: Da capo a piedi, cioè da un estremo all'altro. In italiano Capo= Boss
Aromanian deserves to be also put there
Galician is also romance language
Meravellós el català!
Portugues, espanhol e Italiano muito semelhantes
I thought that nose in Latin is ,nasus' and ,nares' stands for 'nara' ( nostril in Italian and Romanian)
I'm prtty sure that eye in French is not oeil, ot is "yeux" or "les yeux"
Un œil au singulier et deux yeux aux pluriel.

Engraçado que até o inglês foi influenciado mesmo que no mínimo.
O inglês possui cerca de 70% do vocabulário indiretamente oriundo do latim, graças ao período de domínio normando na Inglaterra, que levou o idioma francês para a Grã Bretanha, alterando significativamente o idioma inglês arcaico, que era muito mais germânico do que o inglês atual.

Catalan Spanish language
It s not because I am lusophone and I speak all of them,… but I can clearly understand how Portuguese has developed itself in a very musical way compared to the other languages,… all the other languages have its own patterns and “reasons why” whereas Portuguese was kind of “made” from all of them to become more soft and round in order to be heard and spoken more softly. The Portuguese monarchy is an example of how they imported a lot of French manners to the language, whereas many words are similar to Spanish and Italian was a big influence in Portuguese language in the time many Italians came to Brazil. It s a big salad.
