    The initial V in German 'Vater' is pronounced as an f

    The final e in French pere is silent

      trafo60 British Latin schools have traditionally taught the post-Great Vowel Shift English pronunciation of vowels in Latin. The Vatican and Catholic Church pronounce Latin like modern Italian, but in more recent years, American scholars have been pushing a more accurate reconstructed Roman way of pronouncing Latin. Thus, IVLIVS CAESAR (YU-Luis KI-sahr) didn't say "VEN-eye, VID-eye, VITCH-eye," he said "WAY-nee, WEE-dee, WEE-Chee."

    • @allanrichardson1468

      Juan Ramos Padre as the title of a Catholic priest has been common in American slang for many years, because of the influence of Spanish speakers in the Southwestern US. The chaplain in MASH and other war movies is often called Padre, with a nearly correct Spanish pronunciation, and the San Diego Major League Baseball team is called the Padres, also pronounced Spanish style (except for the voiced plural ending S; Anglos pronounce it "Pod-rayz" rather than "Pahd-rayss").

    The French word "père" is pronounced "per" with a guttural r. Also, before there was a Latin "pater", there was a Greek "πατήρ" (pronounced "pateer").

    Sanskrit being a PIE language, one of the word for father is 'pitr' which is as we all know similar to Greek and Latin word for father 'pater'. But in Sanskrit there is yet another word for father, which is 'Tāt' (तातः) while I am not sure it is quite possible that it is etymologically related to words like 'tad' and 'dad' in various other Indo-European languages as discussed in the video...

    • @andrewmoeller1987
      @andrewmoeller1987 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      And many words that use a 'd' in some languages, will be a 't' in others. I've noticed this with words in Greek, German and Enlish. Examples: Door- thura, Daughter-thugater, two-duo, three-drei.

    In Romanian, "father" is "tată"
    we call the "father":
    -Tată!
    or
    -Tati!
    or
    -Tata!
    etc.
    all of them with "T"
    If a Romanian kid is grown in Italy or Spain (with both parents Ro), is very probably will call the father "Papa!" even if the child knows Romanian

    • @PintoRagazzo
      @PintoRagazzo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @TAKEmeTOtheMORGUE
      @TAKEmeTOtheMORGUE 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tata and tati (but written with a mute "e" : tatie) in French can be used for "aunt" (aunt in French is tante) but it is old, nobody still use it. xD
      It can also be used to denigrate homosexuals.

    • @PaulHojda

      I don't think you could know that. I mean, you get exactly 50% of each parent's DNA. Which means that your results will be 50% similar, too. And that leaves a lot of wiggle room for different traits and results, especially if your parents are from different races. With siblings, it's kind of interesting because the similarity between your genes could vary from 0% to 100%.

    • @TAKEmeTOtheMORGUE
      @TAKEmeTOtheMORGUE 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it is more that the English "er" is often pronouned "ah" and the "th" is othen pronounced like a "d," so we get something that sounds like "fada" instead of "father" and children back in the days only repeated the last syllable : dada - and then we get dad from deleting the last "a."
      Why not the first syllable like in "pater" which became "papa?" Simply because "f" involves teeth and lips which is harder than a "d" to achieve and that "f" are hard to pronounce when you don't have teeth yet.

      That's a sound theory actually, I wouldn't be surprised if that is how we got the word "dad", though, I do wonder why they took out the last "a" if they did get to "dada" as you say. Perhaps we got it the same way we got "pop" as one of the words for dad.

    • @yves2281
      @yves2281 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you have examples of "f" evolving in "d"? I will be interested in knowing where and when "f" evolved in "d". In Indo-Europeen, "f" is usually connected to "p" or "k" sound. Like:
      Five, fünf (Germanic) = quinque (Latin) = pemp (Celtic) or penta (Greek).
      Father = pater (Latin), πατέρας (pateras, Greec)

      "Tata" comes from the PIE "atta" (=father), which in turn comes from baby mumbling. The Welsh Tad has the same origin - it came from atta through Proto-Celtic "tatos".

    French evolutions of the Latin word Pater
    1. Pater => Papa (which existed in Ancient Rome), it only is a childish repetition of the first syllable (the same occured for Mater => mama => maman - final a sometimes got nasalised that why an "n" appeared).
    2. Pater => Pather (Sapnish used a "d" instead of a "th" to note the soft "t") => paer / paere (they simply dropped the "t") => père (it is the same for mother; Mater => mather => maer / maere => mère).

    Dude everything comes from the Latin word Pater (Yes even the German and English version).
    Pater became Padre (Italian/Spanish) Vater (German) Father (English).
    But you are right on the Dada and Papa origin though.
    Papa, Dada, Mama, Tata are probably the first words that comes out of a toddler mouth so it is not surprising that fathers are call Dad(a) and Mothers Mama (Mom).

But in a situation where their parent is in danger, or they are telling someone who their parent is, they'll say mother or father. I call this "The Parent Slang Term."

    The video would have been more interesting if you have gone outside indo-European possibilities too. For instance "Dade" in Turkic languages mean Father (Grandfather in modern Turkey) and it does not seem to be a loan word. There is also a book by the name of Dade-Kurkut (Father Kurkut) written more than a thousand years ago in Turkic. I am not suggesting the English DAD necessarily comes from Turkic DADE but no one can say it is impossible.
