You can clearly see a South (Spain + Italy), Middle (France + Germany), and North (Sweden + Finland) divide in these European countries, with France leaning closer to Southern Europe, and Germany leaning closer to Nordic Europe.
France is really in-between Germanic and latin nations culture-wise, aaand you can see the differences in mentality going from north to South in France, though in a country like Italy, there is even more of a divide, almost as if it was two different countries
@@noefillon1749france is not germanic. Northern France might have some aspects that remind northern Europe but it does not mean that it is « germanic. You can be geographically « northern »and still be a latin country But even then, claiming that the northern half of France is geographically « northern european » would be a little bit exaggerated. Most of the northern half of France is located at the latitudes of Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary…. That seems more central than northern actually Paris, is at the same latitude as Vienna. And 95% of France is located south of Paris… so most of France is located further south than « central Europe » In the southern half of the country is without doubt in southern Europe, geographically speaking. Lyon, clermont ferrand, Limoges are lined with Milan, or Venice. Bordeaux is lined with Genoa, Toulouse, Marseille of Nice are lined with Tuscany; Perpignan or Ajaccio with Lazio…
@@fablb9006 He said germanic though, not northern. Culture and geography isn't the same things. France does have germanic influence, mostly from the Franks. It does remain mostly latin, but it's not far-fetched to call it between germanic and latin.
A very funny video, but as spanish I disagree about taking the spanish average temperature to disregard siesta time. Spanish temperatures tend to be extreme: some of Avila's winters has been around minus 16 degrees celsius, and the north area of the peninsula is colder than the south. Spain is the second highest (in mountain ranges) country in Europe, only behind Switzeland, and keep in mind we are at the same latitude than New York, so it is obvious the average of all the temperatures are going to supress each other towards the colder side. But I dare anyone go out in Seville at 45 degrees in a summer heatwave at 3 p.m. if they believe siesta is not a good idea.
I recently watched a documentary about monkeys that live in a forest in Asia. The documentary was explaining that during summer the forest gets extremely hot and humid, to the point that it is dangerous for the health of the monkeys. Moving around in the heat wastes too much energy and can lead to dehydration fast. So what the monkeys do is they climb the trees, pick a nice, cool, shady branch, and they just sleep there all day, they barely move. Only once the sun starts to go down they slowly become active again. That is a good explanation of Sevilla in august.
@@Captainumerica My bad I wanted to say Spain is the second most montainous country in Europe after Switzeland, not that has the highest mountain ranges. The median altitude is around 600 meters.
13:30 - In France, we do have siestas (or "sieste"), but like in Spain, it's more common among older generations. Younger people generally don't take siestas, though the tradition still persists.
In Argentina we have siestas, but not in Buenos Aires and the big cities. I think in Spain that even happens in Madrid and Barcelona, like the stores closing after midday.
My favorite stereotype of Europe is Italy : use their hands a lot, mafia, eat pasta a lot, usually well-dressed by their style brands, love football, not pasta with ketchup and more 😂

France is also known for being artsy, avant-garde, classy, intellectual, quirky, a bit weird. Germany for being hard working, smart, cerebral, educated, they invented a lot of things like the printing press, zeppelin and automobile.
It's funny to see them say french are dirty because they don't have bidet when it was we who created it. It's just that we have evolved since the renaissance.🤣
In Spain, businesses don't close at noon just for the siesta. Normally store hours are from 9 or 10 in the morning to 8 or 9, some even 10 at night, so the ones that close in the middle of the day are usually the small ones where only the owner or one or two works. employees. This is enough to go home to eat, rest a little and come back until closing time.
You should do more of that type of videos with other countries aswell. Like! Also, i'd like to say that the lady from Sweden looks like Sharon Apple from Macross Plus. Very similar.
While 🇮🇹 Asia seemed bemused on why every country doesn't have bidets, I find it surprising that bidet showers aren't a thing anywhere else except in 🇫🇮 Finland and 🇪🇪 Estonia. You can clean it more easily with the bidet shower hose than trying to knee on the bidet sink. 😉 I never used the latter in 🇪🇸 Spain as intended because I thought it was for the feet. Or maybe once as I run out off hotel room toilet paper, so I cleaned it for the next customer's feet... 🤣
Hi, your comment is interesting but I think a difference in terminology might be causing some confusion lol. Bidet showers are common in lots of the world! I personally saw a lot of them in Arabia and Southeast Asia and I'm sure they exist elsewhere. I have never seen a "Western style" bidet outside of Europe so I think it is common for people to refer to bidet showers as bidets too haha. Still, even when no bidet shower is installed it is still very common for people to wash with water worldwide - a very hygienic practice imo!
In Sweden that is quite weird. It's illegal to walk against red, but there is no fine, so you can't be punished for breaking that law. I kind of like that. :)
Alcohol makes you feel warm, because the blood vessels under your skin widens up and thus increase more blood to flow through. However, it doesn't actually makes your body temperature rise up. So it's a myth to be warm by drinking alcohol, just wear more cloths.
The stereotype of the Mafia in Italy is partially true: it is certainly a serious problem that exists, but it exists throughout Italy, not just in the South. The way it operates is mostly by committing illegalities, even political ones, hidden in the shadows, with corruption and similar things; it is just that the now rarer news of cases with violence that comes out in the light of day, often come from the South

the siesta in spain is, along with the high tempetures in summer, due to our working hours.

Swedes definately think we are better than everyone else. I personally am moving to czechia and whenever I tell someone this I get the reaction "Why? You live in sweden why move?" Thats one of the reasons im moving lol Typically swedes think the swedish way is the correct way and countries that don't do it the same way as sweden are bad (which means basically all countries except nordic countries) But if you look at the facts we are doing very bad in everything from healthcare to education compared to similar countries. This is not something swedes like to hear so they just reject it.
@pierren___ At that time, being Roman meant being European. Nations other than the Latins and Greeks had nothing to do with European civilization. For example, the French were originally of Celtic origin. When the Romans conquered Gaul, the barbarians assimilated and became Latinized.
@@ugur4511But then we'd have to split Europe into two. Southern Europe would be called Europe, while current Northern Europe would be something else, maybe Germania. And the French would be part of Germania, but have roots in Europe.
I'm from SouthWest France and I take a nap every fcking single day of my life !!!! We're so much Latin in SW France !! When I say that we have nothing to do with Parisians, I don't exagerate ! It's crazy how we have nothing in common with them except the language ! This Parisian girl doesn't represent the whole France. France is a big country.
I am surpriesed by steriotypes about French pepople. From what I know there are the opposite stereotypes that every Fench person always looks perfect (probably even sleeps in full make up and so on...). And they are ahead of all other world in fashion and style related things.
Europe is Greece, Roman Empire and spanish/portuguese Empires. These are the true roots of Europe. The other countries was barbarian based populations Who became something like civilizated in the XVIII-XIX centuries
@ yes I love and appreciate the all the southern European countries. The Romans! However I just default associate Europe with bad or fake. I don’t consider southern Europe to be “fake”. I respect central and northern Europe and admire those countries, I am often disgusted with the people they’ve chosen to represent their government. Luckily it’s changing.
OMG 🤦♂ Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal are literally the nations that had the biggest impact in Europe´s development history. Italy, Spain, Germany and France are the countries that first come to mind to most people around the world when they think of Europe.
I look at these models and think they are cute and outside of their cultural stereotype. Talking about stereotypes is dangerous and reinforces prejudice, discrimination, mental and cultural retardation and isolationism. Stereotyping is good for pedantic dumb chauvinists, but for those who are informed it is a boring topic, labeling people and cultures that today are very dynamic, more than 700 years ago.
Social psychologists study stereotypes since like a century and now here some confused left wing comes around telling us not to talk about it because it's dangerous
Here in Brazil, unlike France, we have a nice expression to Italian, when someone here is very perfumed we say "you look like italian, taking shower of perfume/cologne" 😂 i would love this stereotype to Brazil to have it. Do you guys have any expression towards Brazil? Other than football, samba, carnival, pretty woman or tanned ppl? 😂 In Brazil, we call a bread "french bread" that is very famous and can also be called "salt bread" we have it for breakfast everyday, but apparently someone asked about this bread to a french person and he said this sort of bread is the underrated bread sold in France.😂
Jennyfer from Germany is right about the humor. German humor works by playing with language. There are many comedians, satirists and also many comedy clubs all over the country. Blonde hair and blue eyes are very typical for Germany. Worldwide, the most people with this look are in northern Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
If your idea of language is "vowels=nice", then yeah, Schmetterling obviously has a lot of consonants. But they were speaking about "aggressive" words. If you think Schmetterling sounds aggressive, you need to get some help.
I think butterfly is as harsh sounding as schmetterling, and borboleta isn't much nicer sounding, but yea farfalla, papillon and mariposa are much nicer sounding.
@@andyx6827 it's the consonants themselves too, ts are much harsher sounding than fs, ps and so on. I'm gonna back him up on this, schmetterling sounds inherently aggressive, like something you stick someone with if you want to hurt them.
Change the Spanish girl, how can she not know anything about her own country?... Shame. In Spain it closes at noon because we have more hours of sunshine a day and that's when it gets hotter. Small shops usually have little staff so to keep the hours when people make life, shops are usually closed. We are not lazy, we even work longer hours on average than many EU countries.

ok italians you are being cringe. as a french i'm tired of italians losing their mind when their learn we do it with cream. So let's set things straight: first off the carbonara is not a traditional recipe, it came after world war 2 and the first recipe recorded in a published book is from 1952. Said recipe didn't include guancale, it was made with pancetta (which is prok breast so the french version using lard isn't that for from it) and not with pecorino but with parmizan. then the cream. There are italian recipe books that date from the 60's that included cream!! and most chefs actually prefered it that way, until the 80s at least. So please italians, understand that cuisine is not a museum, it adapts to the region, the food that is accessible to most people and that's what makes recipes relevent. You may be angry but aren't you proud that every french person from the poor student to the rich CEO eats a recipe that comes from you, and that in truth isn't that far from what your recipe originaly was? and for the love of god understand that we don't have cheap access to your products, also we actually have what you consider carbonara, we just call it "carbonara a l'italienne", we separate our common folk carbonara from yours that is considered a more delicate cuisine since it's way more exepensive. Cherish the fact that this world famous recipe came from the roots, the fact that each household and country have their way of doing it and stop being jerks. We love your cuisine, don't hate us for that we just can't afford your products just like you can't afford proper french cuisine too.

It's so funny hearing that southern people (Spanish, Italian) think northern people are (French, British) smelly. The fact that Paris and London have less sun than any Spanish or Italian cities. The less sun, the less sweating. Sun duration in hour per year: London 1,632 Paris 1,662 Rome 2,473 Madrid 2,769
Nordic and southern europe countries culture is really different, even they are western. You can find more similarities with eastern europe cultures with finland than southern.

How would you say this in finnish?: "The dirt from the soil of the land of the countryside area of the world's largest country's terrain on Earth dirtied my suit when it fell on the ground."
"Maapallon suurimman maan alueella maaseudulla maaperän lika sotki pukuni kun se putosi maahan." If you're referring to the meme that finnish word "maa" means most of those words, it's only a half truth.
Yes and no. All the Nordic flags have the asymmetrical cross which means the two sides of the flag are not the same. Both sides are correct, although showing the short end of the cross on the left is more common.
You need in this kind or topics include som eastern european and Slavic countries too. For example Draga can represent Eastern Europeans as polyglot. That Europe need to be complete represented :)

Swedes definately think we are better than everyone else. I personally am moving to czechia and whenever I tell someone this I get the reaction "Why? You live in sweden why move?"
Thats one of the reasons im moving lol
Typically swedes think the swedish way is the correct way and countries that don't do it the same way as sweden are bad (which means basically all countries except nordic countries)
But if you look at the facts we are doing very bad in everything from healthcare to education compared to similar countries. This is not something swedes like to hear so they just reject it.
Healthcare I understand, but what's so bad about our education system?
The Beret is from Spain, specifically the basque country.

Apart from the Greeks and Latins, no one is truly European. The Romans viewed the Celtic and Germanic peoples as barbaric peoples in another culture.
But Europe wasnt founded yet
@pierren___ At that time, being Roman meant being European. Nations other than the Latins and Greeks had nothing to do with European civilization. For example, the French were originally of Celtic origin. When the Romans conquered Gaul, the barbarians assimilated and became Latinized.
@ugur4511 true, but the nations of Europe oveercomed roman heritage and became more powerful, leading to the modern era
@@ugur4511But then we'd have to split Europe into two. Southern Europe would be called Europe, while current Northern Europe would be something else, maybe Germania. And the French would be part of Germania, but have roots in Europe.
I'm from SouthWest France and I take a nap every fcking single day of my life !!!! We're so much Latin in SW France !! When I say that we have nothing to do with Parisians, I don't exagerate ! It's crazy how we have nothing in common with them except the language !
This Parisian girl doesn't represent the whole France. France is a big country.
Didn't she say she was not from Paris, though?

I am surpriesed by steriotypes about French pepople. From what I know there are the opposite stereotypes that every Fench person always looks perfect (probably even sleeps in full make up and so on...). And they are ahead of all other world in fashion and style related things.
I love Finland
I don’t think of Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Eastern Europe or Balkans when I think of “Europe”. I think of UK, Germanic Countries and Nordic.
Europe is Greece, Roman Empire and spanish/portuguese Empires. These are the true roots of Europe. The other countries was barbarian based populations Who became something like civilizated in the XVIII-XIX centuries
Word EUROPE was created by the greeks to refer south Europe territory.
@ yes I love and appreciate the all the southern European countries. The Romans! However I just default associate Europe with bad or fake. I don’t consider southern Europe to be “fake”. I respect central and northern Europe and admire those countries, I am often disgusted with the people they’ve chosen to represent their government. Luckily it’s changing.
OMG 🤦♂
Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal are literally the nations that had the biggest impact in Europe´s development history.
Italy, Spain, Germany and France are the countries that first come to mind to most people around the world when they think of Europe.
@@chmvl3503by ancient greeks not you😂😂
I look at these models and think they are cute and outside of their cultural stereotype.
Talking about stereotypes is dangerous and reinforces prejudice, discrimination, mental and cultural retardation and isolationism. Stereotyping is good for pedantic dumb chauvinists, but for those who are informed it is a boring topic, labeling people and cultures that today are very dynamic, more than 700 years ago.
Social psychologists study stereotypes since like a century and now here some confused left wing comes around telling us not to talk about it because it's dangerous

Here in Brazil, unlike France, we have a nice expression to Italian, when someone here is very perfumed we say "you look like italian, taking shower of perfume/cologne" 😂 i would love this stereotype to Brazil to have it.
Do you guys have any expression towards Brazil? Other than football, samba, carnival, pretty woman or tanned ppl? 😂
In Brazil, we call a bread "french bread" that is very famous and can also be called "salt bread" we have it for breakfast everyday, but apparently someone asked about this bread to a french person and he said this sort of bread is the underrated bread sold in France.😂
Most italian stereotype = Pizza.

Jennyfer from Germany is right about the humor. German humor works by playing with language. There are many comedians, satirists and also many comedy clubs all over the country.
Blonde hair and blue eyes are very typical for Germany. Worldwide, the most people with this look are in northern Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
19:40 yes we do, but we can't say it in those terms. We think we are so vastly superior it is insane.

Schmetterling will never sound as nice as farfalla, borboleta, papillon or mariposa.
She is just in denial, clearly.
If your idea of language is "vowels=nice", then yeah, Schmetterling obviously has a lot of consonants.
But they were speaking about "aggressive" words. If you think Schmetterling sounds aggressive, you need to get some help.
I think butterfly is as harsh sounding as schmetterling, and borboleta isn't much nicer sounding, but yea farfalla, papillon and mariposa are much nicer sounding.
Calm down it’s just a word
@@andyx6827 it's the consonants themselves too, ts are much harsher sounding than fs, ps and so on.
I'm gonna back him up on this, schmetterling sounds inherently aggressive, like something you stick someone with if you want to hurt them.
PERHONEN!

Change the Spanish girl, how can she not know anything about her own country?... Shame.
In Spain it closes at noon because we have more hours of sunshine a day and that's when it gets hotter. Small shops usually have little staff so to keep the hours when people make life, shops are usually closed. We are not lazy, we even work longer hours on average than many EU countries.
Anyone who thinks that alcohol makes them warmer wasn't paying attention in physics and biology...

I went through all your videos, so many languages, so many beautiful cultures and different countries , yet i couldn't find any hebrew speaker, not one israeli. None. How come? Hebrew is such an old language, it interacted with so many different cultures and languages, how come there's not even one mention of it?

ok italians you are being cringe. as a french i'm tired of italians losing their mind when their learn we do it with cream. So let's set things straight: first off the carbonara is not a traditional recipe, it came after world war 2 and the first recipe recorded in a published book is from 1952. Said recipe didn't include guancale, it was made with pancetta (which is prok breast so the french version using lard isn't that for from it) and not with pecorino but with parmizan. then the cream. There are italian recipe books that date from the 60's that included cream!! and most chefs actually prefered it that way, until the 80s at least. So please italians, understand that cuisine is not a museum, it adapts to the region, the food that is accessible to most people and that's what makes recipes relevent. You may be angry but aren't you proud that every french person from the poor student to the rich CEO eats a recipe that comes from you, and that in truth isn't that far from what your recipe originaly was? and for the love of god understand that we don't have cheap access to your products, also we actually have what you consider carbonara, we just call it "carbonara a l'italienne", we separate our common folk carbonara from yours that is considered a more delicate cuisine since it's way more exepensive. Cherish the fact that this world famous recipe came from the roots, the fact that each household and country have their way of doing it and stop being jerks. We love your cuisine, don't hate us for that we just can't afford your products just like you can't afford proper french cuisine too.
😂😂😂😂

My French teacher last semester upheld the rude stereotype. I don't understand why manners are illegal in European countries.
I'm sorry for you, but we are not all rude in France... There are always rude people everywhere. Not all French people are like that. I hope you will meet a nice French person and change your mind ! ^^
School in France is a lot stricter and authoritarian, it's not as much rudeness as power keeping the lessers in line, as sad as it sounds.

How would you say this in finnish?:
"The dirt from the soil of the land of the countryside area of the world's largest country's terrain on Earth dirtied my suit when it fell on the ground."
"Maapallon suurimman maan alueella maaseudulla maaperän lika sotki pukuni kun se putosi maahan." If you're referring to the meme that finnish word "maa" means most of those words, it's only a half truth.
The Finnish woman is wearing the flag wrong :) Anybody else noticed?
Yes and no. All the Nordic flags have the asymmetrical cross which means the two sides of the flag are not the same. Both sides are correct, although showing the short end of the cross on the left is more common.

Guinness is a stout, and not your everyday type of beer that fits in most occasions. Germans make far better lagers, pilsners, wheat beers, and bocks.
You need in this kind or topics include som eastern european and Slavic countries too. For example Draga can represent Eastern Europeans as polyglot. That Europe need to be complete represented :)
