@Ainsley Woodward Idiot for not knowing your ancestry from a couple of TH-cam comments? Give me a break, ’cause you’re killing me 😆. Also, how is it good that the USA had Alaska in the Cold War, instead of Russia? I’ve always rooted for Russia. ❤️🇷🇺
@Ainsley Woodward I also hate people, who say they’re rooting for Russia (or anything, really) just to look cool; but I assure you, that is *_NOT_* my reason for rooting for Russia. It is your right to hate me for rooting for Russia, well and good; but I do not determine my opinions based on the popular voice. Some of my reasons for rooting for Russia are all the good they have done for my country: liberating us from Sweden, lifting us to among the nations, establishing the ship industry to Finland that is amongst the best in the world, and giving us our independence, free of any conditions; even the war reparations, ordered by Stalin, enabled our steel industry to flourish; without them, we’d been fully dependent on wood and paper for who knows, how long; and the fact that, as far as I see it, Russia is *_MUCH_* more moral than the USA. They’re wreaking *_MUCH_* more havoc than Russia ever did, yet Russia gets all the crap. If the UN (or whatever international organization is responsible) operated with the same rules for everyone, the USA should have been kicked out of the G8, like, 50 times, already. One fine concrete example of this is, how the US under George W. Bush bullied Russia into accepting their war in the Middle East. Basically, Bush said to Russia: ”OK; we won’t get involved in your actions in Chechnya, if you turn a blind eye on, what we do in the Middle East.”; as if a country handling their *_OWN, DOMESTIC_* affairs is anyhow comparable with a country waging an illegitimate war on the other side of the world; as if Russia were accountable to the US for, what they do in *_THEIR OWN COUNTRY._*
@@sirpickle2347 Yes; I know they have done horrible things for other countries, like for Estonia, for example.

If you google "Georgia", you will most likely get results for a US state. It just shows the impact of American cultural imperialism on the world. I respect you, my friend!
I actually got the wiki link to the country of Georgia first, the state of Georgia second, with a fair 50/50 on the remaining links on the first page via the Dutch Google.
Conkleoink ...Buddy... Georgia became a state in 1788... Georgia became a country in 1008... You're kind of 780 years off in the wrong direction (Btw, even if the state had been established first, Georgia's actual name is Sakartvelo. People outside of Georgia call us Georgia. We wouldn't have been stealing, either way, since that isn't the name we chose for ourselves)
Maybe because he feared getting arrested for mispronouncing my state's name... (it isn't enforced, and certainly not by jail time, but it is technically illegal to mispronounce Arkansas over here... Well, only in Arkansas is this illegal.)
This video is even funnier if you watch it with just the sound. The subtitles trick your mind into making his pronunciation seem much more accurate than it really is.
They're European/Native Indian names, Georgia-King George II; Mississippi-French/Indian; Kansas-French/Indian; Virginia-Elizabeth I (Virgin queen); New York-James Duke of York; Massachusetts-Native tribe; Vermont- (French) Verd-mont (green mountain). For example:::
Ewalk3 Swagg The charter to the land of Pennsylvania was given to William Penn by England's King Charles II, in Latin, "Sylvania" translates to "Woodlands" so Pennsylvania translates to "Penn's-Woodlands".
I’m betting that Boris can speak flawless English at will. I’d go so far as to bet that whatever Slavic languages he speaks natively, he also either learned English as a child or perhaps spent time in the US as a student. He’s clearly an exceptionally talented guy so maybe that’s the sum of it but to my ear he is in complete control of when and where he “slavifies” his English. He can also “pun” in American English and his use of American idiom is flawless. Maybe this is all about the global reach of media but I’m sticking with my bet. Either way though Boris is genius.

I like how he correctly pronounced “Arkansas” the wrong way (the way a lot of Americans say it) and somehow still had that gut feeling that something was off with it (the actual pronunciation is “Arkansaw,” because French people).
@@CashlessFailure The name is actually Indian, and-contrary to popular belief- it isn't illegal to call it Arkansas rather than Arkansaw. Its a political statement. Technically, since Kansas came after Arkansas, Kansas should be called Kansaw. lol
@@aquastar7315 Arkansas and Kansas use different pronunciation of the Kansa tribe. Arkansas is the French plural pronunciation of Kansa native american tribe. While Kansas was named by settlers that spoke English natively. It was named after the Kansas river which was named after the Kansa tribe. Since Kansas was named by English speakers while Arkansas was named by the French that is why they are pronounced differently. The s at the end of French words is silent so in Arkansas we don't pronounce the s at the end.
The Chicago mating call doesn’t exist because the sound would be inaudible because of the mixture of snow, mud, gangs, rain, and a sprinkle of corruption to top it all off.
Just like the way he pronounced Texas the first two times is more close to how it was pronounced when it was a Mexican territory (It's still pronounced that way in Spanish).
ATOMIC SHARK no not really. Texas left Mexico after a war and then was annexed into the US shortly after. The US had nothing to do with Mexico losing Texas. (I know that in the Mexican American War the US gained more land that’s now currently a part of Texas but Mexico kinda started it.)
@@reverie4949 we replace "x" with two letters - "ks". That pronounciation could be just a mistake which was introduced to us a lot of time ago and since then it's been the way it's spoken.
As someone who lives in Mississippi- Boris stuttering over the pronunciation for 20 seconds is valid. Hell, I can’t even spell Mississippi without looking at autocorrect.

nah Mr.D

ktfjulien EXACTLY!

Mr. D. Maybe u.. Even tho im Polish i can pronunciate all of them with ease...
I like how he correctly pronounced “Arkansas” the wrong way (the way a lot of Americans say it) and somehow still had that gut feeling that something was off with it (the actual pronunciation is “Arkansaw,” because French people).
im getting flashbacks to the are-kansas vine
I mean why is it ark- an- saw
Neko Areon the name was of French origin. It’s illegal to call it ArKansas in Arkansas fun fact
@@CashlessFailure The name is actually Indian, and-contrary to popular belief- it isn't illegal to call it Arkansas rather than Arkansaw. Its a political statement. Technically, since Kansas came after Arkansas, Kansas should be called Kansaw. lol
@@aquastar7315 Arkansas and Kansas use different pronunciation of the Kansa tribe.
Arkansas is the French plural pronunciation of Kansa native american tribe.
While Kansas was named by settlers that spoke English natively. It was named after the Kansas river which was named after the Kansa tribe.
Since Kansas was named by English speakers while Arkansas was named by the French that is why they are pronounced differently. The s at the end of French words is silent so in Arkansas we don't pronounce the s at the end.
No, *our* kan-saw
“Illinois”
“Illinius”
*everyone in Chicago gets Vietnam flashbacks*
I saw a YT comment say they pronounced it illnoise their entire life and they live in the US
The traditional Chicago mating call is just wind cause everyone was blown away
No, the Chicago mating call doesn't exist because everyone was engulfed in flames.
The Chicago mating call doesn’t exist because the sound would be inaudible because of the mixture of snow, mud, gangs, rain, and a sprinkle of corruption to top it all off.
The Chicago mating call is "Ey, wanna get some Lou Malnati's?"

Alaska was easy as it was owned by the Russians
Don't forget about Nebraska
Throbbing pains..
although it is Alyaska in Russian it is still pretty similar

because one is French one is a native American tribe.
Eugene Krabbs America explained!
This is a snek
Because, have you been to Kansas? Then you would know why not Are-Kansas. They are NOT Kansas. They are Are-Can-Saw.
Ohio is now Ah-hew
More like "Har-yioh"
Bless you
1:07 it’s fine Boris even I have troubles pronouncing Massachusetts
The way he pronounced Alaska is EXACTLY how it was pronounced when it was a Russian territory. "Alyeska"
Just like the way he pronounced Texas the first two times is more close to how it was pronounced when it was a Mexican territory (It's still pronounced that way in Spanish).
@@Lambda_Ovine He pronounced it like that because in russian x is h
Vienkāršs Skatītājs
In spanish x is also j which is pronounced like h
Valerian Santosa
Texas was stolen
ATOMIC SHARK no not really. Texas left Mexico after a war and then was annexed into the US shortly after. The US had nothing to do with Mexico losing Texas. (I know that in the Mexican American War the US gained more land that’s now currently a part of Texas but Mexico kinda started it.)
Missouri is pronounced "Misery". I'm a citizen of the state and can verify this is accurate
It's Missourah
I live in missouri
And ain't nobody gonna comfort me

That’s what people in Kansas call it that at least 🤣
This is very true

MadDa Dog I was thinking about how he was gonna pronounce our state and I just laughed. It is a Slavic sneeze😂
glock 17 rrrrra
Glaucoma?
"How do you pronounce [Wyoming]?"
"And of course I said view minge."
He pronounced Texas like how a Spanish speaker would: Tejas
There is no j or x in russian, so they replace it with h
Pirkka Kevytmaito I know, in Spanish, J’s are pronounced like an H
@@reverie4949 we replace "x" with two letters - "ks". That pronounciation could be just a mistake which was introduced to us a lot of time ago and since then it's been the way it's spoken.
There is the letter "x" In russian alphabet. It is pronounced like "h".
@@erentoraman2663 uhhh not really, most people say ‘h’ normally
As someone who lives in Mississippi-
Boris stuttering over the pronunciation for 20 seconds is valid. Hell, I can’t even spell Mississippi without looking at autocorrect.
a n d r o m e d a I’m Gona try it miisippipo
I pronouns it like
Mis-sis-sip-pi. if I look at the word
Mis-sa-sih-pe. by memory
as i kid i learned it like a rhyme from friends. "capital m-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i". thats it. just. that.
Yeah, I remember it similary to nev the punk.
Mis-sis-sip-pi
I have a jingle for it (I'm a Minnesotan) Mi-ss-iss-ipp-i! (That's how I know how to spell it, 1 M, 4 i's, 4s's, and 2 p's!
I love so much how he said "Nevada" like "Не вода" on russian x) (this translates "not water")
And, of course, Simisipipi was the best XD
also, when he said “rhode island” i heard “рот исландца“ which means “mouth of icelander” XDDD
If it's not water, then what it is?
Not water describes Nevada pretty well actuallu
Boris: "AHHYO"
Me: Bless you

The best part is he actually did a video with a few Japanese phrases... and his pronunciation is pretty good.
