But its true. We cant say we pay Dutch because everything we do is Dutch. That would be like walking on the street and saying you're walking Dutch. It doesnt make sense.
I am a Dane. An American once asked; "Do you have heirlooms from your Viking ancestors?" Do you realize that the Viking Age is like 974 years ago? 😂 I do have a Tors Hammer, but it's not that old again. 😜
The barefoot German girl looks like she’s out of a Teutonic fairy tale. Such a lovely lady (as are they all). Dialogue is a great way to break barriers
I like the videos, it's interesting too see the differences about these countries because I hear a lot about German but not much abou the others, and you can see in the video the energy of them, like the stereotype that northern countries are shy, calm and introvert while in the video with the latinos the energy was chaotic, everybody being loud and extrovert, it's interesting to notice that
You don't know anything about the behind-the-scenes of Norse history, Norway and its Vikings were violent, bloodthirsty and cannibals. They were the most fierce territorialists and those who preserved the Nordic territories and promoted many Nordic monarchies. But you don't know anything and you don't lose anything either. There are many vile, inhumane criminal aspects of all Viking history.
@@peacefulminimalist2028 Yes, the Vikings were, they deceived you and idiotized you at school, at college, they told you the romantic version of the Vikings.

@@SinilkMudilaSamadont know where you got that from but it all depends on where in europe you are. Ireland iceland greenland and some raids are norwegians, the danes conquered england and the swedes went east to the baltics, russia and ukraine... they were all more or less violent depending on season and purpose.
They were absolutely vibing at the same wavelength. Several time you can literally see (or at least i could) all 3 of them thinking to themselves: Yepp, one of us.
To be honest. American bread has so many additives, but European bread just tastes better. If we talk about candy or spices used for snacks, sure, they have some more intense ones in the US, but I don't miss them. (I've been to the US multiple times)
Really? Jysk is normally lower quality per item in a given price bracket. In my family, the brand is known as "Jysk-piss", I think you can guess what that means.
@@vicolin6126 Sorry that my reply is a bit long. 🤓 Well, let's start with the stores. As I'm from the countryside, I find Jysks way more convenient due to their location, size and layout while Ikeas have been put in large cities and the massive labyrinth layout makes them very inconvenient that you'd need a golf cart or something to move around. While some friends of mine did work in their kitchen, I have never dined in an Ikea so I can't comment on that experience. It's like the regular Finnish food, I assume - I mean, the Finnish & Swedish cuisines are so intertwined that I couldn't tell them apart. In Finland, Jysk's online store works like a dream. That can't be said about the buggy Ikea online store. Once you've managed to create an Ikea account and logged-in (a big struggle that), the desktop store feels very unstable and the purchase might fail during the checkout while the Android app version seems to be stable. In terms of products, I see the quality differently. For me, Jysk feels cheaper, but it has also a better value for money. As far as I know, Jysk has used more wood in their furniture while Ikea has replaced some of the wood with the cardboard instead (that is cutting corners). When in 2010 I assembled my Ikea tea/coffee table, I briefly sat on the table top to get some rest, so now there's a little mark on it because its interior is made out of that cardboard. 😅 Yeah, my white Jysk nightstand's backside has one weird grey trim due to some error, but it's against the wall so it doesn't really matter, eh? And I got a refund for it. A TV stand has a crack on its door. And I managed to break the suspension (metal) of my Jysk gaming chair as I use it like a rocking chair, so it's a bit wobbly. But that's my own fault I suppose. 😆 But hey, those Ikea vitrines weren't faultless either (some dents on the edges). Regardless of the manufacturer, every furniture can have dents, scratches or manufacturing defects here and there, so I wouldn't bog down on that. And it's usually the final assembler who messes up the alignment, etc (I admit - my Jysk wardrobe looks like the leaning tower of Pisa). 😝 There's also the issue of sustainability of which I give three Jysk TV stands, a Jysk bookshelf, a Jysk bed, those two Ikea vitrines and a simple Ikea computer desk as examples (the timespan of about 11 years). Each of those Jysk TV stands came in a single package with everything inside of them (including just one instruction manual). That's three packages and their instructions in total. The same happened with that bookshelf: just one box and one manual. And the bedframe and instructions came in one box while the bed slats (bed base) were given separately without any packaging whatsoever. Those Ikea products though. Every vitrine door were packed separately and each of them had the same instructions. That's one plus two manuals for the two door one, and one plus one for the one door vitrine. The same applies to that desk: every leg of it were individually packed in plastic and came with the same instruction manuals each: that's four manuals in total. That's a lot of waste... 😳 I must say though that the Jysk catalogue is a bit too scarce. 🤔
I have seen tons of fairly young people in both Denmark and Sweden wearing Birkenstock sandals with wolly socks in the last couple of years. I get the sense that it is even fashionable currently.
That is probably the single most standout feature of Americans from a Europeans perspective though. As a European myself, you can spot (or rather hear) an American a mile away.
@@antcommander1367sure, many are fat in America, but that doesn’t bother me or affect me much.. I’m from Scandinavia, one of my first thoughts about Americans is “loud”. If I were to hang out with a lot of Americans I’d die!!! Unless they speak calm like the American girl in this video 👍 To me it seems like Americans like to be SEEN and HEARD too much too often. They don’t care if they disrupt people around them. Americans need to chill more. I’m also thinking they are VERY patriotic, they claim to be the nr. 1 country in the world. They take their nationalism so serious and are very proud. I don’t get it. If I’d question their strong patriotism I think many of them will be mad? I also think most people there are conservative, their way to equality is now going backwards. I think of Christianity, it’s very strong there still. They really won’t let it go, or let the religion evolve and fit todays society, they rather shut people out. And Americans love their g*ns ofc! Even though they get in the wrong hands all the time and is then used for evil deeds that takes childrens lives and so on… USA have privileged people, disgustingly rich. And they have poor, homeless people without a chance to make a change. Because there’s no systems in place that helps all citizens to live a normal life. Education, job, medical care, and substance addicts often need hospitalization/supervision during withdrawal process, as the first step to then be able to work towards a normal life, to be a regular person in the society, to have a job, decent economy and lifestyle. Those who are born poor or something happens to make them sick and poor have a hard time to ever get a chance of a life IN the society. Everyone wins if all people can integrate, there needs to be possibilities available, some kind of help is often needed. Those who are able to work /or will be able to work if they get medical treatment first/ needs the help to get there. Why let people live like outcasts, on the streets, likely sick, without jobs and money, when they DO have ability and willingness to work hard and succeed in society. I don’t like the politics USA have about this. It feels like the mantra is “you only care about your own, screw the rest” instead of treating citizens like a community that is supposed to help each other! That’s weird to me. I think it’s sad.
@@ApleSkrutE So true, like last time I could pinpoint americans was on a ferry in greece. Everyone were tourists everyone speaking in a normal way, and then of course the americans shouting, but not shouting, like its as loud as shouting but its not technically shouting. I read some study that this is because they watch a lot of movies so they thing they must behave like people in movies do
Socks with sandals look bad but feel great - especially for hiking/wandering/sightseeing in warm weather. The feet get a lot of air and the socks protect the feet against the thorns etc.... But u need the confidence to give a f*ck to wear them 😉
She’s laid back. If she was energetic, y’all be slandering her as well because let’s be honest here… This channel is full of people who like to slander Americans a lot. Not just for anything bad, but also for the smallest, dumbest reasons. Let her be, she’s not hurting anyone.
Usually i think the nordics have the same aspects, cold people, cold weather, direct, tall, no so friendly, but for the other germanic such as Germany or Netherlands i think othrwise 😂
@@antcommander1367 No - there's literally studies and archeological findings that confirm that Norwegians were the most violent vikings, and I guess we fit the stereotypes of the tall blonde vikings more than the danes. (even if it's not true).
@@peacefulminimalist2028 From what i can find on the internet it seems like Norwegian vikings indeed were more brutal, but it seems like they are more famous for finding new land such as Greenland, Iceland and America, than their bravery. But it seems like the danish vikings was more accomplished in raiding and occupying other countries, because of them being more organized, which can be seen in the fact that it was mostly danish vikings that occupied england and france. Denmark probably also had the most famous viking kings. Below is the information i found. The Danish Vikings, also known as Danes, were the most politically organized of the different types of Vikings. This is why Danish kings played a greater role in Viking invasions long before the Norwegian/Swedish Vikings. The Danes were the strongest of the Norsemen both in political and military power. They were also the first of the three to convert to Christianity (almost entirely by the end of the 9th century). The Danish Vikings wanted to discover and pillage the West. Their focus was put on France, England, and the Mediterranean parts of the world. The Danes were the original “Vikings”. The bulk of the raids came from Denmark, Southern Norway, and Sweden (the areas around the Kattegat and Skagerakk sea areas). The Norwegian Vikings were utterly crazed warriors. Almost all Vikings who used axes in combat were from the Norwegian part, as far as the archeological evidence allows. The Norwegians were the best boat builders and sailors. The Norwegians remained pagan for a while, not so long as the Swedes, but still respectably so. The Norwegians are said to be arguably the bravest of the three types of Vikings. They were the most pioneering and adventurous; sailing to Iceland, Greenland, and America.
As a Swede I have heard that Swedes are not easily offended. Just by videos similar to this one comparing/talking about stereotypical things of other countries.
The social justice warriors and certain groups of immigrants stand for about 99% of the "easily offended" category. Most Swedes are chill and don't really care what you say. "sWEdEN iS GaAY" ----"ok"
Ikea is very popular in Sweden, but we also have other stores like Jysk, Mio, Stalands for example. I personally love Mio - I want to buy the whole store when Im there 😆 Just looked it up: Jysk is Danish, Mio Swedish and Stalands Swedish. Mio have 70 stores in Sweden, Ikea 21 plus about 10 smaller ones/planning studios.
The Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) were Vikings, not only the Norwegians. Why do people think that? Part of Norway were even Danish in the Viking age.
why are you people so obsessed with vikings? a lot of countries had pirates/raiders but when it comes to Scandinavia all anyone talks about is vikings.
@@ShowwiehWell, that's not all they were. And we are really proud of our viking heritage. If all they were was looters and rapists, I don't think we'd have the same feelings.
I doubt if the Danish woman is really Danish. When I lived in Denmark 30 years ago they were the most open people that you could think of. If that has changed there is only one possible reason.
Alcohol definitely is a big part of danish culture. I've heard in Czech Republic they say something like "to drink like a dane" about people who are very drunk :-).
When someone tells me about nordic people i think tall people, guys over 6'1/1.85-1.86 M and women over 5'11/1.80-1.81 M and i'm really short 5'9/1.74 M guy 😂
The Dutch are the tallest in the world for men and the second tallest for women (after Lithuania if I'm correct). I worked at a small department of less than 20 of which 4 (!) men were 2 meters or taller. The tallest was 2.11. Felt quite small over there 🙂
It's kind of true. Recently, it was confirmed that the average male height in Norway is 180 cm (5'11"). This is only average, meaning plenty of men will be above or below that. I'm a Norwegian man and I'm 186 cm (6'1"). In the US, I believe the average male height is 175 cm (5'9"), so you'd be average if you live in the US.
@@Kadukunahaluu I know this is a bit of a tangent, but as a "tall" guy I don't get the obsession with height anyway, especially from women. I get that people have preferences, and I kind of get the evolutionary reasoning behind wanting a tall man (higher potential for physical strength and protection), but these days it seems to be out of hand with short women wanting some towering giant to climb like they're a monkey climbing a tree. Do they want to play Shadow of the Colossus every time they want some fun sexy time?
174 cm is not "really short" in any country on the planet. It is a bit shorter than average in northern Europe, exactly average for USA, and above average for eastern Asia.
I'm sorry, but I get a little offended - proving we Swedes do get offended easily - when Norway is the only country considered Vikings because Denmark and Sweden were too, almost the whole of Scandinavia was
German personality sound very similar to us in Canada (I am half German myself)..I don't really like it though even though this is how we grow up really keeping to ourself and almost cold to others...I really dont like how we don't have that real hospitality/ warmth/community like I see in other countries like in middle east or even southern america
Me being from Brazil, to think about Germany and USA the only in the vídeo that i know something is Germany i think about cars and beers and for USA i think movies, richness and etc
It is true that Americans self-identify with their states. When you say Wisconsin to another American, people will usually think of cheese first, and then beer and sausage, and then other dairy products like butter and cream. This sort of reminds people of certain European countries. Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Baum.
I think that is mainly true. However, if I realize I am meeting someone from another country, I will first say I am from the United States, and then say my state of Pennsylvania.
Can't believe you guys didn't mention height: the Norwegian and Dutch persons are literally there to confirm it. Or is a statistical fact not a stereotype? lol.
I think a statistical fact is not necessarily a stereotype. I mean, there was no mention of the german Autobahn or german bread or the fact that whatever stereotype there is about Germany (reserved, planning everything, on time, etc), from a german perspective that's about the dutch.
When you stereotypically spend all your days in childhood eating hamburgers, looking at eagles and swearing oaths to flags - you tend to be chocked that the rest of the world *exists*.
Are the Dutch, Germans and Scandinavians really that different from each other? As a Canadian they almost seem like one people to me. Like you could lump the Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia together as 5 provinces of a single nation state and I don't think anyone would notice. Now the Austrians might be a bit different because they're Catholic, more extroverted and happy-go-lucky, and the Belgians and Swiss have a lot of French people, so they're different.
Looking from a world perspective I think you could say they are fairly similar in many ways. All a bit more reserved and mindful,although the Dutch and some Germans are more open compared to the Scandinavians. When you look closer there are more distinct differences and you will notice that when you travel to these countries.
I think the same would apply to the average European. To us, Canadians and people from the USA are very similar. Now I know you Canadians, contrary to your neighbours to the south and west, know how to write English properly (just kidding, referring to the fact that Canadian English is more similar to British English, of course), and use the metric system and the Celsius scale instead of Fahrenheit. And there’s how some of you say “ou” in words like “about” - not “a boot”, but something between “about” and “a boat”. But other than that the two of you are very similar to us.
Just because YOU don’t notice a difference doesn’t mean there’s is one 😂🤦🏼♀️ Seriously, how can you write such a dull comment?! Sure, ALL Dutch people are the same. ALL 85 millions Germans are same. ALL Danes are the same 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
What are the stereotypes you think of in regards to switzerland?! And i would love to read from where you are and if you dont mind i say what stereotypes i think of your country. Anybody up for that?😊
First, I have been to Switzerland, and I enjoyed my stay there. I am from the United States. As for stereotypes, Americans might think most Swiss people are rich, due to Swiss banking. I think the Swiss Alps are one of the first thoughts when thinking of Switzerland, so Americans may associate most Swiss people with mountain gear, alphorns, and traditional folk costumes. Possibly beer as well. I think most Americans know mainly of the Germanic traits. Swiss chocolates come to mind as well. I will not be offended if you go into the stereotypes for my country.
@@onnanob hey👋🏻 im happy to hear that you liked your holiday here. I want to go to the united states but hadn’t done it yet. The stereotypes we have in switzerland often depends on if the person likes usa or not. There are some pretty bad ones. But for me i think of freedom, endless possibility’s, american flags everywhere. I think of bad fast food (sorry😅) guns and cowboys. And daylong roadtrips to get into a other states. (Mainly because i can go to various states [kantone] in a hour) and 3 countrys in less then 2 hours. And last but not least everyting is bigger. Bigger buildings, cars, streets etc. Thank you for sharing and please dont be upset for what i said.😊✌🏻
@@lucatriet575Hello Switzerland! It was wonderful to get your reply. There are usually endless possibilities in the United States. If a situation does not work out for a person, there should be more opportunities elsewhere. This is why I don't understand the homeless people problem in some areas; there are jobs out there. Oh yes, lol, there are American flags everywhere. Sometimes I count the flags as I am driving my car, because many videos have pointed out that we Americans have flags everywhere. Not every home has a flag out though. You are absolutely right about bad fast food! However, there are many of us who don't eat fast food too often. I haven't eaten McDonald's in a few years, and I prefer to eat at home. Guns are a problem here. I am all for the right to own a gun, but we need better gun laws. I guess there are still cowboys, but it's not like the wild west old days. The United States is so large that the states cowboys would be in are very far from my home in Pennsylvania. Roadtrips are fun! If you get to visit the USA, plan a bit in advance because of distances. Decide which states and areas you would like to see. A lot of people from other countries don't realize how large the USA is, and how long it can take to get from one place to the next place. It was so nice to see your reply!
@@onnanob cool 😮 sadly in switzerland there arent many flags or more flags from other countrys. In regards to fast food i can imagine that there are lots of very fit ppl. From the usa. And if i make to the usa i will plan ahead. Do you mind if i ask what places in your opinion are a must for tourists (i dont like big citys or huge crowds) more like special things to see or food to try. Or maybe places historically relevant? ✌🏻
@@lucatriet575I know no other country shows flags like the USA, but out of European countries I believe Switzerland might display more flags, followed by Norway. I see a lot of photos on Facebook from Europe, and it seems the Swiss and then Norwegians tend to have more flags than anyone else. I know you said you are not fond of big cities, but Los Angeles in California is fantastic! Besides downtown L.A. there is Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The weather is wonderful too. You can go to the beach, and even make a day trip of going to Tijuana, Mexico. It is very laid back for a large city. It is difficult to tell you where to stay and visit, because there are so many different regions. The area called New England (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, etc) is supposed to be very beautiful. My area in Pennsylvania gets a lot of tourists because of the curiosity over the Amish people. Plus, it's quite easy to make a day trip to Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Washington D.C. from here. The South (Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, etc) is known for hospitality and possibly the most friendly people. Florida kind of does its own thing from the rest of the South, and it has the popular islands called The Keys. It all depends on what interests you, and what you would like to see. There's Niagara Falls, where you can see New York state away from New York City, and then easily go over to the other side of the water falls to Ontario, Canada. There are deserts 🏜 in Arizona. The Grand Canyon National Park is also in Arizona. I hope this helps, and I don't mind giving you more ideas. When I was in Switzerland I was in Lucerne. It was beautiful. I saw the Crying Lion monument, and walked through the Chapel Bridge covered bridge. I also went up Mount Pilatus on the cogwheel railway 🛤, which was so exciting! I spent a few hours walking around the top of the mountain, and one of the biggest thrills of my life was watching the sun go down from the top of that mountain.
I am 50% American 25% South African and 25% Greek and my grandma who lives in Athens , Greece can cook fish in so many different ways...Norwegians and Greeks are sea people!
It kinda makes sense since Norway has so many fjords and Greece has so many islands if you look at it they are geographically very similar , the difference is the North sea is much colder than the Mediterannean so in Greece we dont usually have salmon we have other fish.
@@LuDa-lf1xd Yah im very proud of my ancestry.My dad has been a American for 400 years and we can trace back our lineage to the war I like to call "Throwing British tea in the ocean and send them home packing to England".I have 3 native languages I can speak English fluently , and Afrikaans and Greek at a B2 level.
True, but then many will also say that they are Italian or Irish when they’ve never ever been there and their latest ancestor who was born in Italy or Ireland was their great grandfather who had already died when they themselves were born. Of course, it’s fine to emphasise your heritage, but to me, this tends to come across as a sign of insecurity, because the USA has so little history compared to Europe and Asia. I’ve also always seen the fact that people in the USA fly their flag so much is not necessarily a sign of nationalism or national pride, but rather one of insecurity.
@@jasperkok8745Your focus on American insecurity is extremely inaccurate. We tell people where our families originally came from out of interest, to make conversation, and because there is still a connection with Europe. My Italian side came from Palermo, Sicily, Italy. My German side came from the villages of Forsthart and Walchsing. Knowing where my family came from originally makes me want to visit these places (although I have been to both countries I have not visited these places). We Americans enjoy talking about where our families came from, and another part of that is, as they say, getting back to our roots. As for American flags being displayed at a lot of homes and businesses, it's quite simple: The United States of America is what's called a melting pot. With the exception of the Native Americans, our families all originated from elsewhere. Those who came here came to seek a different life, and in the process build a country. The American flags you may see are a celebration of the country and ideals it stands for. It is pride in the country that was created, and to remind us that we are supposed to be strong and united. I am telling you this as an American citizen who does not have a flag in front of my home. Not having an American flag on display does not mean I have less enthusiasm about my country, by the way. People came here from all over the world to start a new life for many different reasons, and the flag is a symbol of freedom to many.
Norway was seafaring fighting adventurers none would like to meet , Denmark a powerhouse of warriors, Sweden Valhalla Spiritualists that raided eastern Europe, just ask Ukraine if Kiev was founded on some Vikings going there, .........i saw Ukraine women soldiers there with the Hammer of Thor Batch on their shoulders fighting their Ukraine cause. So we support them to the end, so Sweden could have been in the start-up of Kiev a 1000 years ago as we know it today. Denmark Viking had over 50% or England and certain big places of northern France, what happened was they simply integrated, became english and french over some large period
not like in the US though. Im german, and over here, a person who gets emotional or acts out is always assumed to be in the wrong, and its always seen as unacceptable misconduct, so much so that you just dont see people acting out in public anywhere. in the US, it seems like the person who is the most irrational and acts the most crazy is treated as being in the right. and the reason this is the case is because the US is deep into woke sensitivity propaganda, which literally trains people to excuse any action, no matter how immoral or bad, by claiming hurt feelings. sure they are pushing this everywhere, but nowhere is it as bad as in the US.
@@Drool4Drama I dont get what you are trying to say. the point is, lack of emotional control is much more socially acceptable in the US than anywhere in the west, to a point where its heavily encouraged and socially rewarded. nowhere are people as easily offended as in the US, because in most places, being offended is not something that carries any weight in terms of who is right or wrong socially when it comes to a conflict, but in the US, it seems like who ever is the most offended, is socially catered to the most in a public conflict.
I have a question Please give a answer 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 in 0:52 , the American girl said “Eagles” and I want to know what Eagle means Is it a music band in America or something ??
The eagle is their national creature and one of their most important symbols, it symbolizes freedom, beauty, power and nature for them. As an aside, it was also one of Rome's important symbols. I red Ben Frank one of their founders wasn't too keen on using the eagle because it's actually more of a scavenger than a hunter.
@@karllogan8809 Funny enough, Germany also has an eagle as the national animal and state symbol, we had it since roman types (in different variations). We are using our local eagle for that, not the american bold eagle. Several european nations do and did actually.
Sorry to say but it looks like a competition who sounds more American among these participants or at the most parts who speaks better English than another at least for several of them🤭😊
@@antcommander1367 nah thats bs. you are literally legally not allowed to question the political narrative of ww2. there is nothing free or scientific about being forbidden to investigate or question a political narrative about your past. not being allowed to question or even investigate the past is like religious priests being above the law and you going to jail for questioning scripture.
@@sshreddderr9409 that's maybe true in Germany. But here in North we can question it. Though it was different when Kekkonen was president, 1956 to late 1981.
You can see the cultural difference between Latinos and Nordics right at the beginning of the video. Nordics and north europeans say "Hello" very quietly, very restrained. Latin Europeans and latin Americans say it with enthusiasm and already They start to joke around, go off script, tell jokes and only after many turns do they return to the script and continue the video. 😂😂😂
@@TabeaSerenety They are latins too, where do you think the latins came from? South America? Think with me, where do the romans who spoke latin came? They were europeans and from their language came up french, Spanish, portuguese, romanian italian, catalan and so on, europeans from south are latins.
A little hint here: In Europe we don't apreciate american terms being forced onto us. You can keep 'latin-whatever' to America, we will follow that, but never ever call southern europeans 'latin'. Don't call dark skinned europeans, who were born and raised here, 'African-this' or 'Black-that', for us that's racist and in some countries you might get fined for that. Not knowing it is one thing, but insisting and trying to lecture those who know better (or even worse, locals) about why you should be right is just not helping the american case.
@@TabeaSerenety No, the only mistake americans commit is think that only people who's born in Central America, South America and Mexico are latins, but Americans are lazy when it's about other cultures, what surprises me is see europeans who don't know ( or think that don't ) that Spaniards, portugueses, romanians and Italian are latins. In french case, they speak a language a who came from latin, but they're not totally latin, they came from a mixture of gauls, romans who invaded the Gallia, Celtics and some more.
@@olgahein4384 But you guys are latin lol, the problem is that Americans turned the term (latin) into a pejorative term used to refer to imigrantes coming from south and mainly central America, but in the past, people used to pay a lot of money to be considered a latin roman and speak the latin language would give a huge status, ready the old roman empire history and you'll understand. Unfortunately the term latin was transformed into and pejorative term nowadays and is sad to see europe, where the term came from, agree and reject it so bad, it should be protected, it's part of a rich mankind history.
@@Diogo-ls2dg I read the roman history. It was a big subject in school, being german (not as big as WW2 ofc). The term you want to use is 'roman' - cause ROMAN empire. Latin was the language spoken by the conquerers. A language that is NOT spoken anymore by any nation, i'd like to add. Latin in America is the mostly spanish/portuguese speaking countries, south of the USA. Colonized by the spanish, portuguese and italians. PS: We also don't appreciate people from a different continent who are so entitled to think they know better than us what and who we are. We know our history. We grew up surrounded by it.
I love the german girl ❤ She is much more polite than the others. The others are incredibly disrespectful towards the german girl and need to learn to behave properly. You can see she felt incomfortable and didnt enjoy it. She didnt even want to talk anymore after they were disrespectful to her and probably was happy when she doesnt need to be around them anymore. Maybe they envy her.
That's because German girls are more grounded , based and also besides being more quiet and submissive to husbands ,BF 's they also are harder workers than ,um ,some other girls like the American kind !
@@gregorygant4242did you seriously describe German women as „submissive“ to their husbands?! Kidding me?! German women are the most independent and emancipated in the world
@@gregorygant4242 In what reality are YOU living? The only place in Germany where girls can be described as 'submissive' might be hardcore catholic areas in Bavaria in the outskirts, and that's only till the BF/husband does apreciate that. Aside from that, I've seen girls break up relationships as soon as their partner starts to showcase a hint of 'I'm the Alpha and I'm the man' - not to mention adult women, they can be savage when pissed off by a man.
"We don't call it that..."

But its true. We cant say we pay Dutch because everything we do is Dutch. That would be like walking on the street and saying you're walking Dutch. It doesnt make sense.
I am a Dane. An American once asked; "Do you have heirlooms from your Viking ancestors?" Do you realize that the Viking Age is like 974 years ago? 😂 I do have a Tors Hammer, but it's not that old again. 😜

Associating Denmark with Legoland? As a Dane that makes me very proud.
I like the videos, it's interesting too see the differences about these countries because I hear a lot about German but not much abou the others, and you can see in the video the energy of them, like the stereotype that northern countries are shy, calm and introvert while in the video with the latinos the energy was chaotic, everybody being loud and extrovert, it's interesting to notice that
This discussion is very enjoyable.
I'm surprised Noway was considered Vikings when Denmark was the more dominant Viking country.
You don't know anything about the behind-the-scenes of Norse history, Norway and its Vikings were violent, bloodthirsty and cannibals.
They were the most fierce territorialists and those who preserved the Nordic territories and promoted many Nordic monarchies.
But you don't know anything and you don't lose anything either.
There are many vile, inhumane criminal aspects of all Viking history.

To be honest. American bread has so many additives, but European bread just tastes better.

🇫🇮 I prefer 🇩🇰 Jysk over 🇸🇪 Ikea (I say that while assembling an Ikea vitrine). 🤪
Really? Jysk is normally lower quality per item in a given price bracket. In my family, the brand is known as "Jysk-piss", I think you can guess what that means.
@@vicolin6126 Sorry that my reply is a bit long. 🤓
Well, let's start with the stores. As I'm from the countryside, I find Jysks way more convenient due to their location, size and layout while Ikeas have been put in large cities and the massive labyrinth layout makes them very inconvenient that you'd need a golf cart or something to move around.
While some friends of mine did work in their kitchen, I have never dined in an Ikea so I can't comment on that experience. It's like the regular Finnish food, I assume - I mean, the Finnish & Swedish cuisines are so intertwined that I couldn't tell them apart.
In Finland, Jysk's online store works like a dream. That can't be said about the buggy Ikea online store. Once you've managed to create an Ikea account and logged-in (a big struggle that), the desktop store feels very unstable and the purchase might fail during the checkout while the Android app version seems to be stable.
In terms of products, I see the quality differently. For me, Jysk feels cheaper, but it has also a better value for money. As far as I know, Jysk has used more wood in their furniture while Ikea has replaced some of the wood with the cardboard instead (that is cutting corners). When in 2010 I assembled my Ikea tea/coffee table, I briefly sat on the table top to get some rest, so now there's a little mark on it because its interior is made out of that cardboard. 😅
Yeah, my white Jysk nightstand's backside has one weird grey trim due to some error, but it's against the wall so it doesn't really matter, eh? And I got a refund for it. A TV stand has a crack on its door. And I managed to break the suspension (metal) of my Jysk gaming chair as I use it like a rocking chair, so it's a bit wobbly. But that's my own fault I suppose. 😆
But hey, those Ikea vitrines weren't faultless either (some dents on the edges).
Regardless of the manufacturer, every furniture can have dents, scratches or manufacturing defects here and there, so I wouldn't bog down on that. And it's usually the final assembler who messes up the alignment, etc (I admit - my Jysk wardrobe looks like the leaning tower of Pisa). 😝
There's also the issue of sustainability of which I give three Jysk TV stands, a Jysk bookshelf, a Jysk bed, those two Ikea vitrines and a simple Ikea computer desk as examples (the timespan of about 11 years).
Each of those Jysk TV stands came in a single package with everything inside of them (including just one instruction manual). That's three packages and their instructions in total. The same happened with that bookshelf: just one box and one manual. And the bedframe and instructions came in one box while the bed slats (bed base) were given separately without any packaging whatsoever.
Those Ikea products though. Every vitrine door were packed separately and each of them had the same instructions. That's one plus two manuals for the two door one, and one plus one for the one door vitrine. The same applies to that desk: every leg of it were individually packed in plastic and came with the same instruction manuals each: that's four manuals in total. That's a lot of waste... 😳
I must say though that the Jysk catalogue is a bit too scarce. 🤔
I have seen tons of fairly young people in both Denmark and Sweden wearing Birkenstock sandals with wolly socks in the last couple of years. I get the sense that it is even fashionable currently.
But have you TRIED wearing socks with sandals? So comfortable!

Americans got away quite well with "being loud" being the stereotype she chose to talk about
That is probably the single most standout feature of Americans from a Europeans perspective though. As a European myself, you can spot (or rather hear) an American a mile away.
and Fat,
sorry but sometime truth hurts the most.
@@antcommander1367sure, many are fat in America, but that doesn’t bother me or affect me much.. I’m from Scandinavia, one of my first thoughts about Americans is “loud”. If I were to hang out with a lot of Americans I’d die!!! Unless they speak calm like the American girl in this video 👍 To me it seems like Americans like to be SEEN and HEARD too much too often. They don’t care if they disrupt people around them. Americans need to chill more.
I’m also thinking they are VERY patriotic, they claim to be the nr. 1 country in the world. They take their nationalism so serious and are very proud. I don’t get it. If I’d question their strong patriotism I think many of them will be mad?
I also think most people there are conservative, their way to equality is now going backwards.
I think of Christianity, it’s very strong there still. They really won’t let it go, or let the religion evolve and fit todays society, they rather shut people out.
And Americans love their g*ns ofc! Even though they get in the wrong hands all the time and is then used for evil deeds that takes childrens lives and so on…
USA have privileged people, disgustingly rich. And they have poor, homeless people without a chance to make a change. Because there’s no systems in place that helps all citizens to live a normal life. Education, job, medical care, and substance addicts often need hospitalization/supervision during withdrawal process, as the first step to then be able to work towards a normal life, to be a regular person in the society, to have a job, decent economy and lifestyle. Those who are born poor or something happens to make them sick and poor have a hard time to ever get a chance of a life IN the society. Everyone wins if all people can integrate, there needs to be possibilities available, some kind of help is often needed. Those who are able to work /or will be able to work if they get medical treatment first/ needs the help to get there. Why let people live like outcasts, on the streets, likely sick, without jobs and money, when they DO have ability and willingness to work hard and succeed in society. I don’t like the politics USA have about this. It feels like the mantra is “you only care about your own, screw the rest” instead of treating citizens like a community that is supposed to help each other! That’s weird to me. I think it’s sad.
@@ApleSkrutE So true, like last time I could pinpoint americans was on a ferry in greece. Everyone were tourists everyone speaking in a normal way, and then of course the americans shouting, but not shouting, like its as loud as shouting but its not technically shouting.

why do americans in general think it's only Norway being vikings ... but sure Norway had the most savage vikings
those would be danish vikings, norwegian vikings were pioneneers for founding new land.
@@antcommander1367 No - there's literally studies and archeological findings that confirm that Norwegians were the most violent vikings, and I guess we fit the stereotypes of the tall blonde vikings more than the danes. (even if it's not true).
@@peacefulminimalist2028 From what i can find on the internet it seems like Norwegian vikings indeed were more brutal, but it seems like they are more famous for finding new land such as Greenland, Iceland and America, than their bravery.
But it seems like the danish vikings was more accomplished in raiding and occupying other countries, because of them being more organized, which can be seen in the fact that it was mostly danish vikings that occupied england and france. Denmark probably also had the most famous viking kings.
Below is the information i found.
The Danish Vikings, also known as Danes, were the most politically organized of the different types of Vikings. This is why Danish kings played a greater role in Viking invasions long before the Norwegian/Swedish Vikings. The Danes were the strongest of the Norsemen both in political and military power. They were also the first of the three to convert to Christianity (almost entirely by the end of the 9th century). The Danish Vikings wanted to discover and pillage the West. Their focus was put on France, England, and the Mediterranean parts of the world. The Danes were the original “Vikings”. The bulk of the raids came from Denmark, Southern Norway, and Sweden (the areas around the Kattegat and Skagerakk sea areas).
The Norwegian Vikings were utterly crazed warriors. Almost all Vikings who used axes in combat were from the Norwegian part, as far as the archeological evidence allows. The Norwegians were the best boat builders and sailors. The Norwegians remained pagan for a while, not so long as the Swedes, but still respectably so. The Norwegians are said to be arguably the bravest of the three types of Vikings. They were the most pioneering and adventurous; sailing to Iceland, Greenland, and America.
As a Swede I have heard that Swedes are not easily offended. Just by videos similar to this one comparing/talking about stereotypical things of other countries.
The social justice warriors and certain groups of immigrants stand for about 99% of the "easily offended" category. Most Swedes are chill and don't really care what you say. "sWEdEN iS GaAY" ----"ok"
Ikea is very popular in Sweden, but we also have other stores like Jysk, Mio, Stalands for example. I personally love Mio - I want to buy the whole store when Im there 😆 Just looked it up: Jysk is Danish, Mio Swedish and Stalands Swedish. Mio have 70 stores in Sweden, Ikea 21 plus about 10 smaller ones/planning studios.
I think I saw Sophia in Jeon Somi's ICE CREAM music video. The soccer playing girl looks so similar to her.
The Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) were Vikings, not only the Norwegians. Why do people think that? Part of Norway were even Danish in the Viking age.
Sweden and Denmark have a lot of cultures besides the Vikings, but Norway does not.
why are you people so obsessed with vikings? a lot of countries had pirates/raiders but when it comes to Scandinavia all anyone talks about is vikings.

@@MartinPirko Well, a czech told me 20 years ago on a trip to Prague.
@@TheMafrand Cool, but it's not common thing to say
When someone tells me about nordic people i think tall people, guys over 6'1/1.85-1.86 M and women over 5'11/1.80-1.81 M and i'm really short 5'9/1.74 M guy 😂
As a 2 meters tall Swede I can confirm. It's not very often but it does happen that people are taller than me
The Dutch are the tallest in the world for men and the second tallest for women (after Lithuania if I'm correct). I worked at a small department of less than 20 of which 4 (!) men were 2 meters or taller. The tallest was 2.11. Felt quite small over there 🙂
It's kind of true. Recently, it was confirmed that the average male height in Norway is 180 cm (5'11"). This is only average, meaning plenty of men will be above or below that. I'm a Norwegian man and I'm 186 cm (6'1").
In the US, I believe the average male height is 175 cm (5'9"), so you'd be average if you live in the US.
@@Kadukunahaluu I know this is a bit of a tangent, but as a "tall" guy I don't get the obsession with height anyway, especially from women. I get that people have preferences, and I kind of get the evolutionary reasoning behind wanting a tall man (higher potential for physical strength and protection), but these days it seems to be out of hand with short women wanting some towering giant to climb like they're a monkey climbing a tree. Do they want to play Shadow of the Colossus every time they want some fun sexy time?
174 cm is not "really short" in any country on the planet.
It is a bit shorter than average in northern Europe, exactly average for USA, and above average for eastern Asia.
For asians, we also love to wear socks with our sandals to mixmatch with our casual outfits to stroll around the mall with friends or just to hangout.
I have lived in three of these countries and worked in five of them, but none of them is my native country.

It is true that Americans self-identify with their states. When you say Wisconsin to another American, people will usually think of cheese first, and then beer and sausage, and then other dairy products like butter and cream.
This sort of reminds people of certain European countries. Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Baum.
I think that is mainly true. However, if I realize I am meeting someone from another country, I will first say I am from the United States, and then say my state of Pennsylvania.
Yes but that’s usually when interacting with other Americans rather than foreigners I think.

Can't believe you guys didn't mention height: the Norwegian and Dutch persons are literally there to confirm it. Or is a statistical fact not a stereotype? lol.
I think a statistical fact is not necessarily a stereotype. I mean, there was no mention of the german Autobahn or german bread or the fact that whatever stereotype there is about Germany (reserved, planning everything, on time, etc), from a german perspective that's about the dutch.

What was the weird thing that’s going on around the American girls had with the background screen?
Are the Dutch, Germans and Scandinavians really that different from each other?
As a Canadian they almost seem like one people to me.
Like you could lump the Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia together as 5 provinces of a single nation state and I don't think anyone would notice.
Now the Austrians might be a bit different because they're Catholic, more extroverted and happy-go-lucky, and the Belgians and Swiss have a lot of French people, so they're different.
You would notice if you've ever actually traveled tp these countries
Looking from a world perspective I think you could say they are fairly similar in many ways. All a bit more reserved and mindful,although the Dutch and some Germans are more open compared to the Scandinavians. When you look closer there are more distinct differences and you will notice that when you travel to these countries.
I think the same would apply to the average European. To us, Canadians and people from the USA are very similar. Now I know you Canadians, contrary to your neighbours to the south and west, know how to write English properly (just kidding, referring to the fact that Canadian English is more similar to British English, of course), and use the metric system and the Celsius scale instead of Fahrenheit. And there’s how some of you say “ou” in words like “about” - not “a boot”, but something between “about” and “a boat”. But other than that the two of you are very similar to us.
Just because YOU don’t notice a difference doesn’t mean there’s is one 😂🤦🏼♀️
Seriously, how can you write such a dull comment?! Sure, ALL Dutch people are the same. ALL 85 millions Germans are same. ALL Danes are the same 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

What are the stereotypes you think of in regards to switzerland?! And i would love to read from where you are and if you dont mind i say what stereotypes i think of your country. Anybody up for that?😊
First, I have been to Switzerland, and I enjoyed my stay there. I am from the United States. As for stereotypes, Americans might think most Swiss people are rich, due to Swiss banking. I think the Swiss Alps are one of the first thoughts when thinking of Switzerland, so Americans may associate most Swiss people with mountain gear, alphorns, and traditional folk costumes. Possibly beer as well. I think most Americans know mainly of the Germanic traits. Swiss chocolates come to mind as well. I will not be offended if you go into the stereotypes for my country.
@@onnanob hey👋🏻 im happy to hear that you liked your holiday here. I want to go to the united states but hadn’t done it yet. The stereotypes we have in switzerland often depends on if the person likes usa or not. There are some pretty bad ones. But for me i think of freedom, endless possibility’s, american flags everywhere. I think of bad fast food (sorry😅) guns and cowboys. And daylong roadtrips to get into a other states. (Mainly because i can go to various states [kantone] in a hour) and 3 countrys in less then 2 hours. And last but not least everyting is bigger. Bigger buildings, cars, streets etc. Thank you for sharing and please dont be upset for what i said.😊✌🏻
@@lucatriet575Hello Switzerland! It was wonderful to get your reply. There are usually endless possibilities in the United States. If a situation does not work out for a person, there should be more opportunities elsewhere. This is why I don't understand the homeless people problem in some areas; there are jobs out there.
Oh yes, lol, there are American flags everywhere. Sometimes I count the flags as I am driving my car, because many videos have pointed out that we Americans have flags everywhere. Not every home has a flag out though.
You are absolutely right about bad fast food! However, there are many of us who don't eat fast food too often. I haven't eaten McDonald's in a few years, and I prefer to eat at home.
Guns are a problem here. I am all for the right to own a gun, but we need better gun laws.
I guess there are still cowboys, but it's not like the wild west old days. The United States is so large that the states cowboys would be in are very far from my home in Pennsylvania.
Roadtrips are fun! If you get to visit the USA, plan a bit in advance because of distances. Decide which states and areas you would like to see. A lot of people from other countries don't realize how large the USA is, and how long it can take to get from one place to the next place.
It was so nice to see your reply!
@@onnanob cool 😮 sadly in switzerland there arent many flags or more flags from other countrys. In regards to fast food i can imagine that there are lots of very fit ppl. From the usa. And if i make to the usa i will plan ahead. Do you mind if i ask what places in your opinion are a must for tourists (i dont like big citys or huge crowds) more like special things to see or food to try. Or maybe places historically relevant? ✌🏻
@@lucatriet575I know no other country shows flags like the USA, but out of European countries I believe Switzerland might display more flags, followed by Norway. I see a lot of photos on Facebook from Europe, and it seems the Swiss and then Norwegians tend to have more flags than anyone else. I know you said you are not fond of big cities, but Los Angeles in California is fantastic! Besides downtown L.A. there is Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The weather is wonderful too. You can go to the beach, and even make a day trip of going to Tijuana, Mexico. It is very laid back for a large city. It is difficult to tell you where to stay and visit, because there are so many different regions. The area called New England (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, etc) is supposed to be very beautiful. My area in Pennsylvania gets a lot of tourists because of the curiosity over the Amish people. Plus, it's quite easy to make a day trip to Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Washington D.C. from here. The South (Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, etc) is known for hospitality and possibly the most friendly people. Florida kind of does its own thing from the rest of the South, and it has the popular islands called The Keys. It all depends on what interests you, and what you would like to see. There's Niagara Falls, where you can see New York state away from New York City, and then easily go over to the other side of the water falls to Ontario, Canada. There are deserts 🏜 in Arizona. The Grand Canyon National Park is also in Arizona. I hope this helps, and I don't mind giving you more ideas.
When I was in Switzerland I was in Lucerne. It was beautiful. I saw the Crying Lion monument, and walked through the Chapel Bridge covered bridge. I also went up Mount Pilatus on the cogwheel railway 🛤, which was so exciting! I spent a few hours walking around the top of the mountain, and one of the biggest thrills of my life was watching the sun go down from the top of that mountain.

Of course, it’s fine to emphasise your heritage, but to me, this tends to come across as a sign of insecurity, because the USA has so little history compared to Europe and Asia. I’ve also always seen the fact that people in the USA fly their flag so much is not necessarily a sign of nationalism or national pride, but rather one of insecurity.
@@jasperkok8745Your focus on American insecurity is extremely inaccurate. We tell people where our families originally came from out of interest, to make conversation, and because there is still a connection with Europe. My Italian side came from Palermo, Sicily, Italy. My German side came from the villages of Forsthart and Walchsing. Knowing where my family came from originally makes me want to visit these places (although I have been to both countries I have not visited these places). We Americans enjoy talking about where our families came from, and another part of that is, as they say, getting back to our roots.
As for American flags being displayed at a lot of homes and businesses, it's quite simple: The United States of America is what's called a melting pot. With the exception of the Native Americans, our families all originated from elsewhere. Those who came here came to seek a different life, and in the process build a country. The American flags you may see are a celebration of the country and ideals it stands for. It is pride in the country that was created, and to remind us that we are supposed to be strong and united. I am telling you this as an American citizen who does not have a flag in front of my home. Not having an American flag on display does not mean I have less enthusiasm about my country, by the way. People came here from all over the world to start a new life for many different reasons, and the flag is a symbol of freedom to many.
Pszysnolem ale jusz nieniezasne brzuch mnie bolał i te sny porzal się borze kurde
Europe not country been know that as United States citizen in Florida. how you going to ask question that some people do not know answer too.
When I think about vikings it's more about sweden than norway
Norway was seafaring fighting adventurers none would like to meet , Denmark a powerhouse of warriors, Sweden Valhalla Spiritualists that raided eastern Europe, just ask Ukraine if Kiev was founded on some Vikings going there, .........i saw Ukraine women soldiers there with the Hammer of Thor Batch on their shoulders fighting their Ukraine cause.
So we support them to the end, so Sweden could have been in the start-up of Kiev a 1000 years ago as we know it today.
Denmark Viking had over 50% or England and certain big places of northern France, what happened was they simply integrated, became english and french over some large period
I like only Chinese and Malaysia English yeah US is the master of English rite
And in some moment "shes" began to practice women combat and viewers increased dramatically. Joke😂 forgive me.
Gen Z are easily offended. All over the world.
not like in the US though. Im german, and over here, a person who gets emotional or acts out is always assumed to be in the wrong, and its always seen as unacceptable misconduct, so much so that you just dont see people acting out in public anywhere. in the US, it seems like the person who is the most irrational and acts the most crazy is treated as being in the right. and the reason this is the case is because the US is deep into woke sensitivity propaganda, which literally trains people to excuse any action, no matter how immoral or bad, by claiming hurt feelings. sure they are pushing this everywhere, but nowhere is it as bad as in the US.
@@sshreddderr9409 False. You can act out as much as you want, as ong as you don't threat people or touch them or their property.
@@Drool4Drama I dont get what you are trying to say. the point is, lack of emotional control is much more socially acceptable in the US than anywhere in the west, to a point where its heavily encouraged and socially rewarded. nowhere are people as easily offended as in the US, because in most places, being offended is not something that carries any weight in terms of who is right or wrong socially when it comes to a conflict, but in the US, it seems like who ever is the most offended, is socially catered to the most in a public conflict.
I have a question
Please give a answer 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
in 0:52 , the American girl said “Eagles” and I want to know what Eagle means
Is it a music band in America or something ??
The eagle is their national creature and one of their most important symbols, it symbolizes freedom, beauty, power and nature for them.
As an aside, it was also one of Rome's important symbols.
I red Ben Frank one of their founders wasn't too keen on using the eagle because it's actually more of a scavenger than a hunter.
@@karllogan8809 oh I see that helped me a lot !!
thank you for the information
@@karllogan8809 Funny enough, Germany also has an eagle as the national animal and state symbol, we had it since roman types (in different variations). We are using our local eagle for that, not the american bold eagle. Several european nations do and did actually.
Sorry to say but it looks like a competition who sounds more American among these participants or at the most parts who speaks better English than another at least for several of them🤭😊
The American girl needs some more energy 😂
No. We love her the way she is
Nah, she sounds kind of cool.
She loves rums she's always big hiiiiigggghhhhg😂😂😂😂
No, there are enough loud and energetic Americans. I appreciate her laid back nature.
People when the American representative is energetic and outgoing : 🤬
People when the American representative is nonchalant and quiet :🤬
Why didn't Denmark make a dual-language nation of GERMAN and DANISH?
Because 99,6% of the population are not native German speakers
DE, Lara foot
The better, most interesting, more history european countries are not there: Portugal, Spain, France, Italia Greece, etc
The ladies live in South Korea .

Firstttttt 🎉
They could have gone fpr more agressive stereotypes, like how Swedish people dont serve food to their guests (which is not true btw).
Biggest different for me between European countries and the USA is free speech, in Europe we don't have it.
we have free speech in europe, but it contradicts with someone personal space.
@@antcommander1367 nah thats bs. you are literally legally not allowed to question the political narrative of ww2. there is nothing free or scientific about being forbidden to investigate or question a political narrative about your past. not being allowed to question or even investigate the past is like religious priests being above the law and you going to jail for questioning scripture.
@@sshreddderr9409 that's maybe true in Germany.
But here in North we can question it.
Though it was different when Kekkonen was president, 1956 to late 1981.
second😈
😂😂😂😂
Americans monopolize the word American. Specifically the ones from the U.S. like save some America for South America, Canada, and ice land.
Iceland is eueopean
Iceland is not in America. Greenland is.
@@johnnorthtribe Only geographical though.
America is one continent only devils saids that its a country it always a continent forever!
@@johnnorthtribeGreenland is in the North American continental group of countries and territories.
Everything about miss America here gives me the sensation of maple syrup, that's how attractive she is ❤
More like sap in winter. Nice girl just wayyy more reserved than the “mericans” I usually meet
You can see the cultural difference between Latinos and Nordics right at the beginning of the video. Nordics and north europeans say "Hello" very quietly, very restrained. Latin Europeans and latin Americans say it with enthusiasm and already They start to joke around, go off script, tell jokes and only after many turns do they return to the script and continue the video. 😂😂😂
@@TabeaSerenety They are latins too, where do you think the latins came from? South America? Think with me, where do the romans who spoke latin came? They were europeans and from their language came up french, Spanish, portuguese, romanian italian, catalan and so on, europeans from south are latins.
A little hint here: In Europe we don't apreciate american terms being forced onto us. You can keep 'latin-whatever' to America, we will follow that, but never ever call southern europeans 'latin'. Don't call dark skinned europeans, who were born and raised here, 'African-this' or 'Black-that', for us that's racist and in some countries you might get fined for that. Not knowing it is one thing, but insisting and trying to lecture those who know better (or even worse, locals) about why you should be right is just not helping the american case.
@@TabeaSerenety No, the only mistake americans commit is think that only people who's born in Central America, South America and Mexico are latins, but Americans are lazy when it's about other cultures, what surprises me is see europeans who don't know ( or think that don't ) that Spaniards, portugueses, romanians and Italian are latins. In french case, they speak a language a who came from latin, but they're not totally latin, they came from a mixture of gauls, romans who invaded the Gallia, Celtics and some more.
@@olgahein4384 But you guys are latin lol, the problem is that Americans turned the term (latin) into a pejorative term used to refer to imigrantes coming from south and mainly central America, but in the past, people used to pay a lot of money to be considered a latin roman and speak the latin language would give a huge status, ready the old roman empire history and you'll understand. Unfortunately the term latin was transformed into and pejorative term nowadays and is sad to see europe, where the term came from, agree and reject it so bad, it should be protected, it's part of a rich mankind history.
@@Diogo-ls2dg I read the roman history. It was a big subject in school, being german (not as big as WW2 ofc).
The term you want to use is 'roman' - cause ROMAN empire. Latin was the language spoken by the conquerers. A language that is NOT spoken anymore by any nation, i'd like to add.
Latin in America is the mostly spanish/portuguese speaking countries, south of the USA. Colonized by the spanish, portuguese and italians.
PS: We also don't appreciate people from a different continent who are so entitled to think they know better than us what and who we are. We know our history. We grew up surrounded by it.

Nice format, but why is it only girls in most videos
I love the german girl ❤ She is much more polite than the others. The others are incredibly disrespectful towards the german girl and need to learn to behave properly. You can see she felt incomfortable and didnt enjoy it. She didnt even want to talk anymore after they were disrespectful to her and probably was happy when she doesnt need to be around them anymore. Maybe they envy her.
That's because German girls are more grounded , based and also besides being more quiet and submissive to husbands ,BF 's they also are harder workers than ,um ,some other girls like the American kind !
SO TRUE. They ALWAYS target the Germans, no matter from what country they come from and what the topic is. They pounce on Germans like vultures
@@gregorygant4242did you seriously describe German women as „submissive“ to their husbands?! Kidding me?! German women are the most independent and emancipated in the world
I think you're seeing things that aren't there.
@@gregorygant4242 In what reality are YOU living? The only place in Germany where girls can be described as 'submissive' might be hardcore catholic areas in Bavaria in the outskirts, and that's only till the BF/husband does apreciate that. Aside from that, I've seen girls break up relationships as soon as their partner starts to showcase a hint of 'I'm the Alpha and I'm the man' - not to mention adult women, they can be savage when pissed off by a man.
Wish there was more gender diversity in these videos.
no.
