Funny thing about the word "renard" (French for "fox") : the word used to be "goupil", much closer to the original "vulpes" but in the Middle Ages, some monk wrote a story about a fox called "renard" and it got so popular the word for fox changed to the name of the story's protagonist.
Spanish: Pantalones Italian: Pantaloni French: Pantalon Romanian: Pantaloni Portuguese: *Calças* Edit: I'm looking at the answers, seeing how other Latin languages call "pants", I'm loving reading all the answers, it's very interesting to know other words that in essence have the same meaning.
Amazing that Romania is surrounded by Hungary and Slavic countries, but retains linguistic similarity to the other Romance countries. No wonder it switched back to the Latin alphabet in the 1800's.
Before 15th century, Romania used Latin writing, but Alexandru cel Bun (Alexander the Good) has decided to change to so-called Cyrillic alphabet (which it was used in liturgical books, at that time, in Romanian territories - sec. XV), as a reaction to Vatican's aggresion of trying to convert to Catholicism his country. After that, in 1862, Alexandru Ioan Cuza has changed it back to Latin. By the way, Glagolitic alphabet, known as the ancestor of the Cyrillic, has been used by Aethicus Donares, Dacian philosopher and explorer, born in Histria - Dobrogea, in his book, Cosmographia (5th century). In Romanian language, "glagoare", "glagore", "glagole" mean cleverness, to go with the mind, spoken word. That's why, Glagolitic alphabet is known as the "living letters that speak".

Fox ( Raposa ), in Portuguese, comes from the Latin word "rapum" which means "tail"🦊. In Galician-Portuguese (medieval) the word "dog" was still spelled "can". In fact, the word "can" remains in Galician to this day. Portuguese also has the word "esqualo", however, to refer to the entire genus of fish of the "squalus" family, to which sharks, dogfish, sawfish, etc.
@@hobog Don't think so. The Scoi'atael are also called "squirrels", due to the squirrel tails they wear, so I guess Sapkowski took it from Latin/Italian.
Completely exclusive and generalized statement. The 'influence' is only in vocabulary, which is the most versatile part of a language (words come and leave), not the structural grammar. Even so, just one word o of the animals, 'veverita' was slavic from all the other ones and you rushed into generalizations; just one exception and you turned the table completely. Incredible bad faith.
Lol, so true. What I find interesting is that rabbit in welsh is Cwningen (w sounding like spanish "u" Cuningen) there are many latin words in welsh that go back to the roman period in Britain. I don't know if cwningen has a latin origin, for me it sounds similar, but only an expert would confirm or deny it.
Actually, all of the words for "squirrel" (except for Spanish "ardilla" and Romanian "veveriță") still derive from Latin "sciurus". It's just that they mutated quite a bit over time, so that their Latin ancestor may not be immediately recognizable to a non-linguist.

@@yesehakdl1415 We weren't romans by what definition? We weren't the people who kickstarted the Roman Empire? Sure, but you can say that about 98% of italians (I mean, it started with one city) the vast majority of which were originally etruscans, greeks, celts or other types of indo-europeans. But our ancestors were ethnic latins (like the italians). They call themselves romans (considered themselves and were considered part of the roman people), they spoke latin, had a latin culture (romanian christianity originates from the latin romans)and were roman citizens. In my book and I'm pretty sure ''in the book'' of most people, that means being roman. PS: love you too italians :D
@@yesehakdl1415 You know that Rome got where it got by ACCEPTING all kinds of people under itself? I mean yeah, sure they killed a lot of them, but not because of ethnicity, because they didn't want to join. Rome tought of itself as THE state, not A state. THE state that would eventually rule all the world (that they knew), which includes all ethnicities. If they wanted that to happen, they either KILLED everybody that wasn't roman (pretty impractical), or allowed in everybody. You see, the thing about Rome is that it started only as a small village, and that's it. It immediately started expanding and taking other people in. Only if your ancestors have lived in that village since the times of Romulus and Remus and have only made their children with other people originally from that village for just about 2750 years could you call yourself a true Roman. And a very very unhealthy one, considering the sheer amount of incest that is required for that to happen. Nobody is a true roman nowadays, it's all a mixture, so let us all be happy with that pointless and insignificant percent of " true roman DNA", hai capito?
An interesting fact: If we put the definite article to romanian words, they look even more like latin words. Ursus - Ursul (the bear) Lupus - Lupul (the wolf) Porcus - Porcul (the pig) The only thing that changes is the last letter. But not all words add "ul". Only masculine nouns that end in a consonant. Romanian grammar quite difficult compared to the other romance languages. It is also the only romance language that puts the definite article at the end of words.
@@ValeriusMagni cause he actually knows the language. The definite article in Romanian is "ul" (for masculine words). Latin does not use articles which makes it a bit less obvious and is probably why you wondered...
In Portugal we use Cão more often than Cachorro. In Brazil is the other way around. And by the way, in the portuguese masterpiece "Os Lusíadas", the writer refers to the dolphins as "Delfins", which is way more similar to the Latin word.

Yeah, the only thing is we don’t use it in everyday slang. “Can” is mostly for professional/scientific purposes. Another word for “cerdo” (pig) would be “puerco” similar to “porco” from italian/portuguese 👍🏼

@@BabySonicGT Si usan "cochino" para referirse a alguien sucio es porque lo relacionan con el animal. Cerdo, chancho y puerco también se usan para decir que una persona es sucia o tiene malos modales, son todos sinónimos.

"Numele meu este" translates to "My name is" But we also have "mă cheamă" which translates to "I am (being) called" The first one is slightly more formal than the latter one, but both forms can be used.
In Romanian Pisică has similarities with Sardinian Pisittu meaning Cat. And the Synonyms is Mâță, it has very many similarities with Old French "Mite", Italian "Micio", Spanish "Miz", German (Mieze) and also Albanian Mace. The German one could be borrowed from the Transylvanian Saxons or derived from the Goths that used to rule over today's Romania but another word to refer to tomcat is "Motan" in Romanian. Derived from Proto-Germanic "mōtaną" also could be from Gothic "𐌲𐌰𐌼𐍉𐍄𐌰𐌽" (gamōtan). Which shows that Proto-Romanians did live in North of Danube when migrations happened.
I’m a native Spanish speaker and hadn’t read the word miz meaning cat in a long time. But you are right, it does exist and today is deemed only as a way of calling a cat to come to you “miz miz miz”. A childish and somehow dated variant is micifuz or michifuz.
@@calzabbath That's very interesting. We say "Pis Pis Pis" when we call a cat. The connection between Romanian and Spanish Mâță and Miz could be from the Vandals or could be also from the Ostrogoths but I'm not sure if the Ostrogoths migrated to Iberia so it could be the Vandals because they migrated to modern day Romania too.
@@InAeternumRomaMater you seem a very knowledgeable person. I’m no expert but several Germanic words present in Spanish I know came from Visigothic, a tribe originating in what is today Sweden.

. Funny story from childhood. In USSR was a Romanian territory occupied and named RSSM, and in the 80s we had some rich kids from Regio Emilia visiting, and they were told they come to the land of Russians. Well one evening one of the italian kids called out load one of our kids scrofa! The kid was like - Did he just call me scroafă? After the Italian got a latin punch into the nose he figured right away that he is not dealing with Russians, the funniest part was to see how the KGB translator was trying to explain how the hell locals understand Italian :).
In French we say "renard" because in the XIV century a man wrote a novel called "le Roman de Renard" (the novel of Renard) and the main character was a fox (a goupil in French) and his name was "Renard" So since everyone calls foxes "Renard".
In Spain we understand "can" from "can/is" as dog. The word "puerco" as pig, coming from "porcus/o" is also common. Even "vulpe" from "vulp/is" is understood as "foxy" in some parts. Finally the word "escualo", from "escualus/o" is well known as equivalent to tiburon "shark". The small sized sharks are called in Spain "marajos", this term is somehow related with the French "requin".
Here in Brazil, the word "porco" is also used as an insult, generally when someone have no manners(farts in public, People who chew with their mouth open, etc.) We say "tu é um porco!" or "você é um porco!" = "You're a pig"
@@fanaticofmetal Maybe bcs of italian immigration in Brazil, in other regions less affected by immigrations to use porco with this meaning is less common.

'cuniculus' evolved into old spanish 'cuniclo' (the '-us' merged into an O and that U between the C and the L disappeared because of its weakness). in spanish lots of words with the '-clo' or '-cla' ending changed to '-jo'/'-ja' so thats how we got 'cunijo', add some vowel changes and you get the current 'conejo'. this is the same for 'auricula' and 'oreja'(ear)
In italian we say ear similar to spanish "orecchio" (now ear it's only masculine because latin neuter gender... But before we had the feminine "orecchia" now only the plural has a feminine form) but if you are talking about something that revolves around the ear like earphones we call them "auricolari"
Sardinian for cat: pisittu = pisica in romanian. Also for rabbit in old latin ieporem = iepure in romanian. For squirrel is viverra (old latin) and veverita in romanian! The romanian language preserves many words from old latin!

English does not come from Latin, but after the Norman conquest its vocabulary and structure was brutally modified. In a BBC report, the University of Oxford states the following: the English language is made up of this way: Vocabulary: 60% Latin, and only 28% Anglo-Saxon; grammar: 48% Anglo-Saxon structure, 39% Latin structure; the rest of the grammar structure comes from Celtic and Greek. For this reason philologists consider English a Hybrid, saying that English is a hybrid is the right thing to do.
The Language Wolf starts with the fox. There are lots of Spanish words for pig, including puerco (from the Latin word) and cochino (cognate with French cochon). Romanian "lepure" is cognate with French "lièvre" (hare).
It seems that the french word for shark , requin, comes from the old french verb reschigner which means « showing teeth » out of anger . It comes from the Frankish and was borrowed by the romanian language from the french 😉
@@-_pi_- Harder than the English one (I dont't know any other Germanic language). For example we have the masculine and feminine gender and each word has a gender: "one pen" is "unA pennA" (feminine), while "a felt pen" is "un pennarellO" (masculine). Then we have a lot of irregular words and very complex tenses that even the Italians themselves struggle to master. but as a positive thing it has a much simpler and clearer pronunciation than English, everything is read as it is written and it is very clear how to pronounce each syllable, for these Italians who speak English are worse in pronunciation, at the same level of knowledge, than the English who speak italian.

Interesting fact, the French word for fox "renard" comes from the main character from "le roman de renart" which is a fox. It was so popular in the middle ages that people started to refer as "renard" what was formerly called "goupil" (which doesn't look like vulpes either tbh).
Very intresting how in Romanian is more similar to Latin then Spanish, Portuguese or France. And by the way, "rabbit" in Romania is "iepure" and it's coming from the Latin "Leporem" where the "L" changed in Romanian into "i". In many words happened this change
The Portuguese word isn't so similar because when pronounced, the final "o" is very closed and gets something more similar to "u", but Spanish gato is indeed pronounced almost identically to French gâteau. I'm Spanish and during the Franco dictatorship, some of my relatives migrated to France (most went back to Spain as soon as things were getting better down here, but some stayed and even formed a family).

Fox in old French was Goupil (which is not that far from Latin : Vulpes). « Renard » appeared in French language because of a French popular novel in Middle Ages (appeared in ~1170) in which the main character was a fox called « M. Renart » with a t. Then the t had turned into a d and it became the new word to call a fox. Renard comes from a medieval novel character, not from Latin. Voilà.
In the majority of the Portuguese speaking countries dog is Cão and Cachorro means puppy. In Brazil, however, they might be used interchangeably (cão for dog and cachorro for puppy and dog). Supposedly, cão in Brasil became associated with the Devil in the xviii an xix century, and the word began to be used less often ( this is a fun fact about language traditions in Brasil vs Portugal: double meaning in words tend to coexist peacefully in european Portuguese, while in Brasil the original meaning tends to be overshadowed by the corruption, eg “grelos”, “cacete”, “rapariga”). So the use of Cachorro gradually passed from Puppy to dogs of all ages in Brasil, although it maintains its “official” use in compound expressions (like Cão de guarda, cão de fila, cão de água).
@@v1n1c1u55anto5 tem os dois significados na verdade, mas obrigado pelo esclarecimento. Vou corrigir acima e até enriquecerei com alguma informação interessante que encontrei sobre a etimologia da palavra no Brasil. Entretanto, “Segundo o Dicionário Aurélio de Língua Portuguesa, na variante brasileira, cão significa mamífero canídeo, domesticado pelo homem desde tempos remotos, que atende pelo plural de cães e tem como forma feminina, cadela. Cachorro, por sua vez, entendido como sinônimo, tem cachorra como feminino e cachorros como forma plural, designa sim um cão novo, uma cria de lobo ou ainda qualquer cão.” pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cão
Interesting I know both Spanish and Portuguese but seeing this how the original language differs the words once it was divided into many romance languages is so astonishing
Romanian had a language reform during which they removed most of the Slavic and Turkish loan words for new words with old sources and borrowings from Western Latin languages. Moldova did not have such a reform, so their language is more slavianized.
This theory is proven wrong. In the 1800 some Greek and Turkish words were replaced with French, but they were of recent origin. Many neologisms also came from French, and now they come from English. The Slavic words that went out of use related to objects no longer in use, but most of them are well and still in use. The Republic of Moldova was under Russian rule, and they speak a language sprinkled with many Russian words. When they speak a pure Romanian, it might feel a little archaic, but we understand it. Ah, and fun fact. The first contact Wallachian aristocracy had with French was when the Russian tsarist troops occupied it in the 1830s. The officers all spoke French.

fox in Spanish has 2 definitions the first is an animal in English "fox" the second is a cunning and very intelligent person capable of overcoming obstacles, even if you thought that "el zorro" was referring to an animal, it is not like that
@@nicollano2012 The reason why "zorro" in Spanish is used on cunning and intelligent person is precisely because those are attributes commonly associated to the animal. So in reality, it is just the animal. In English you can also use fox with the purpose of saying someone is cunning, just not that often. A good clue is Robin Hood in Disney's film, he's a fox.

Funny thing about the word "renard" (French for "fox") : the word used to be "goupil", much closer to the original "vulpes" but in the Middle Ages, some monk wrote a story about a fox called "renard" and it got so popular the word for fox changed to the name of the story's protagonist.

Amazing that Romania is surrounded by Hungary and Slavic countries, but retains linguistic similarity to the other Romance countries. No wonder it switched back to the Latin alphabet in the 1800's.
Before 15th century, Romania used Latin writing, but Alexandru cel Bun (Alexander the Good) has decided to change to so-called Cyrillic alphabet (which it was used in liturgical books, at that time, in Romanian territories - sec. XV), as a reaction to Vatican's aggresion of trying to convert to Catholicism his country. After that, in 1862, Alexandru Ioan Cuza has changed it back to Latin. By the way, Glagolitic alphabet, known as the ancestor of the Cyrillic, has been used by Aethicus Donares, Dacian philosopher and explorer, born in Histria - Dobrogea, in his book, Cosmographia (5th century). In Romanian language, "glagoare", "glagore", "glagole" mean cleverness, to go with the mind, spoken word. That's why, Glagolitic alphabet is known as the "living letters that speak".

Rabbit in Romanian "iepure" is from Latin leporem (lepus, leporis) - hare (Italian lepre, French lièvre etc)
In spanish: liebre.
Portuguese lebre.
Iepure means both rabbit and hare. The only way to distinguish them is that hare is called "iepure de câmp" (literally, plain rabbit) and rabbit is occasionally called "iepure de casă (house) or vizuină (den)".
Lepus gave lapin and also lievre

We weren't the people who kickstarted the Roman Empire? Sure, but you can say that about 98% of italians (I mean, it started with one city) the vast majority of which were originally etruscans, greeks, celts or other types of indo-europeans.
But our ancestors were ethnic latins (like the italians). They call themselves romans (considered themselves and were considered part of the roman people), they spoke latin, had a latin culture (romanian christianity originates from the latin romans)and were roman citizens.
In my book and I'm pretty sure ''in the book'' of most people, that means being roman.
PS: love you too italians :D
Yesehak DL perché dici ste cagate?
@@yesehakdl1415 You know that Rome got where it got by ACCEPTING all kinds of people under itself? I mean yeah, sure they killed a lot of them, but not because of ethnicity, because they didn't want to join. Rome tought of itself as THE state, not A state. THE state that would eventually rule all the world (that they knew), which includes all ethnicities. If they wanted that to happen, they either KILLED everybody that wasn't roman (pretty impractical), or allowed in everybody. You see, the thing about Rome is that it started only as a small village, and that's it.
It immediately started expanding and taking other people in. Only if your ancestors have lived in that village since the times of Romulus and Remus and have only made their children with other people originally from that village for just about 2750 years could you call yourself a true Roman. And a very very unhealthy one, considering the sheer amount of incest that is required for that to happen.
Nobody is a true roman nowadays, it's all a mixture, so let us all be happy with that pointless and insignificant percent of " true roman DNA", hai capito?
An interesting fact: If we put the definite article to romanian words, they look even more like latin words.
Ursus - Ursul (the bear)
Lupus - Lupul (the wolf)
Porcus - Porcul (the pig)
The only thing that changes is the last letter. But not all words add "ul". Only masculine nouns that end in a consonant. Romanian grammar quite difficult compared to the other romance languages. It is also the only romance language that puts the definite article at the end of words.
Ursus is urs, lupus is lup and porcus is porc. Where did you see "ul"
@@ValeriusMagni cause he actually knows the language. The definite article in Romanian is "ul" (for masculine words). Latin does not use articles which makes it a bit less obvious and is probably why you wondered...

"Él come como puerco/chancho/cerdo"
It has the same connotations in English, when they call someone a pig. "He eats like a pig/He behaves like a pig".

I love all the Romance languages, I find Sicilian not often mentioned, along with many others. But mentioning them all would be so hard to do. Thank you for the interesting content.
Btw, I don't think Sicilian is closer to latin than any other language, there is a lot of input from neighbors and unclear etymologies at times, but I liked thinking about how many different interesting histories exist for these words
Yeah, in my city you tend to replace the L with a R, the U's with O's and St/Sp are pronounced like in German, sometimes we make a O become a Ua
Porcu becomes Puaccu
Ursu becomes Orso
Balena becomes Balina
Delfinu becomes Derfinu
Cervu become Cevvu
Surci becomes Succi
Pecura becomes Picura
And a lot more
But since there isn't a standard form we tend to mix the dialects, sometimes instead of saying Insettu we say Zappagghiuni like they do in Palermo

In Romanian Pisică has similarities with Sardinian Pisittu meaning Cat. And the Synonyms is Mâță, it has very many similarities with Old French "Mite", Italian "Micio", Spanish "Miz", German (Mieze) and also Albanian Mace. The German one could be borrowed from the Transylvanian Saxons or derived from the Goths that used to rule over today's Romania but another word to refer to tomcat is "Motan" in Romanian. Derived from Proto-Germanic "mōtaną" also could be from Gothic "𐌲𐌰𐌼𐍉𐍄𐌰𐌽" (gamōtan). Which shows that Proto-Romanians did live in North of Danube when migrations happened.
I’m a native Spanish speaker and hadn’t read the word miz meaning cat in a long time. But you are right, it does exist and today is deemed only as a way of calling a cat to come to you “miz miz miz”. A childish and somehow dated variant is micifuz or michifuz.
@@calzabbath That's very interesting. We say "Pis Pis Pis" when we call a cat. The connection between Romanian and Spanish Mâță and Miz could be from the Vandals or could be also from the Ostrogoths but I'm not sure if the Ostrogoths migrated to Iberia so it could be the Vandals because they migrated to modern day Romania too.
@@InAeternumRomaMater you seem a very knowledgeable person. I’m no expert but several Germanic words present in Spanish I know came from Visigothic, a tribe originating in what is today Sweden.

Funny story from childhood.
In USSR was a Romanian territory occupied and named RSSM, and in the 80s we had some rich kids from Regio Emilia visiting, and they were told they come to the land of Russians. Well one evening one of the italian kids called out load one of our kids scrofa! The kid was like - Did he just call me scroafă? After the Italian got a latin punch into the nose he figured right away that he is not dealing with Russians, the funniest part was to see how the KGB translator was trying to explain how the hell locals understand Italian :).

In French we say "renard" because in the XIV century a man wrote a novel called "le Roman de Renard" (the novel of Renard) and the main character was a fox (a goupil in French) and his name was "Renard" So since everyone calls foxes "Renard".

In Spain we understand "can" from "can/is" as dog. The word "puerco" as pig, coming from "porcus/o" is also common. Even "vulpe" from "vulp/is" is understood as "foxy" in some parts. Finally the word "escualo", from "escualus/o" is well known as equivalent to tiburon "shark". The small sized sharks are called in Spain "marajos", this term is somehow related with the French "requin".

The thing about Romanian 'iepure' is that it can colloquially mean both "hare" and "rabbit" and comes from Latin 'lepus, leporem'. And cognate with Spanish 'liebre', French 'lièvre', Italian 'lepore', Portuguese 'lebre', Catalan 'llebre', etc.

Interesring enough, your way of importing Latin words looks them sound very similar to Romanian. But it just weird similarities, Sweedish is so alien to Romanian.
@@francks3544 When I listen to Romanian it sounds like a slavic language (but sort of nicer, gentler sounds). I'm not a language expert at all, but I know Romanian is not a slavic language. So it's weird for me, it's like "slavic" words with a Italian accent...
But anyway, yes Swedish and Romanian is very different.
@@alexanderwingeskog758
Romanian sounds like Italian-Slavic bc.:
- around 70% of our vocabulary comes from Latin (Vulgar Latin=Colloquial Latin),
- 20% from Slavic languages (Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Russian, Polish, Czech, Slovakian...)
- and 10% from French, German, Greek (300 words - mainly in medicine), Turkish (300 words), Hungarian.
Our Vocabulary consists of around 160,000 words.
All our neighbours influenced, in the past, our language: Austro-Hungarian Empire, Russian Empire, Turkish Empire and 120 years of Greek rulers. Aka "Fanariots", the Greek rulers came from Fanar district of Istanbul (Constantinopol), being imposed by Turks, for ruling over Wallachia and Moldova, btw. 1711-1821.
French was a language "very in fashion" in the whole Europe during the 18th and 19th century, so it influenced also us.

'cuniculus' evolved into old spanish 'cuniclo' (the '-us' merged into an O and that U between the C and the L disappeared because of its weakness). in spanish lots of words with the '-clo' or '-cla' ending changed to '-jo'/'-ja' so thats how we got 'cunijo', add some vowel changes and you get the current 'conejo'.
this is the same for 'auricula' and 'oreja'(ear)
as well we have in italian " lepre" which is the wild rabbit
In italian we say ear similar to spanish "orecchio" (now ear it's only masculine because latin neuter gender... But before we had the feminine "orecchia" now only the plural has a feminine form) but if you are talking about something that revolves around the ear like earphones we call them "auricolari"
Sardinian for cat: pisittu = pisica in romanian. Also for rabbit in old latin ieporem = iepure in romanian. For squirrel is viverra (old latin) and veverita in romanian! The romanian language preserves many words from old latin!
I had to do a google research. now I understand. you talk about the Old Latin from the Roman Kingdom period.
yes, very true. most historians don't speak about the Roman Kingdom that much. all of us are more interested about Rome when it was either a Republic or an Empire.

English does not come from Latin, but after the Norman conquest its vocabulary and structure was brutally modified. In a BBC report, the University of Oxford states the following: the English language is made up of this way: Vocabulary: 60% Latin, and only 28% Anglo-Saxon; grammar: 48% Anglo-Saxon structure, 39% Latin structure; the rest of the grammar structure comes from Celtic and Greek. For this reason philologists consider English a Hybrid, saying that English is a hybrid is the right thing to do.

The Language Wolf starts with the fox.
There are lots of Spanish words for pig, including puerco (from the Latin word) and cochino (cognate with French cochon).
Romanian "lepure" is cognate with French "lièvre" (hare).
"lapin" is also a cognate of "lepore". In middle French, the rabbit was still called "lapereau"
In fact in French we can also use the word ''porc'' but it is mainly to designate meat
It seems that the french word for shark , requin, comes from the old french verb reschigner which means « showing teeth » out of anger . It comes from the Frankish and was borrowed by the romanian language from the french 😉

@@-_pi_- Yes, because English is grammatically a Germanic language but a very big part of the English vocabulary comes from latin.

For example we have the masculine and feminine gender and each word has a gender: "one pen" is "unA pennA" (feminine), while "a felt pen" is "un pennarellO" (masculine).
Then we have a lot of irregular words and very complex tenses that even the Italians themselves struggle to master. but as a positive thing it has a much simpler and clearer pronunciation than English, everything is read as it is written and it is very clear how to pronounce each syllable, for these Italians who speak English are worse in pronunciation, at the same level of knowledge, than the English who speak italian.

Interesting fact, the French word for fox "renard" comes from the main character from "le roman de renart" which is a fox. It was so popular in the middle ages that people started to refer as "renard" what was formerly called "goupil" (which doesn't look like vulpes either tbh).
Yep. Technically goupil (which is derived from vulpes) is a perfectly valid word but it's quite archaic except as a family name.
@@paranoidrodent and etymologically it also comes from vulpēs by the way!
Very intresting how in Romanian is more similar to Latin then Spanish, Portuguese or France.
And by the way, "rabbit" in Romania is "iepure" and it's coming from the Latin "Leporem" where the "L" changed in Romanian into "i". In many words happened this change
The portuguese and spanish words "gato" (cat in english) are close to the French word "gâteau" (cake in english) !
The Portuguese word isn't so similar because when pronounced, the final "o" is very closed and gets something more similar to "u", but Spanish gato is indeed pronounced almost identically to French gâteau.
I'm Spanish and during the Franco dictatorship, some of my relatives migrated to France (most went back to Spain as soon as things were getting better down here, but some stayed and even formed a family).

Fox in old French was Goupil (which is not that far from Latin : Vulpes). « Renard » appeared in French language because of a French popular novel in Middle Ages (appeared in ~1170) in which the main character was a fox called « M. Renart » with a t. Then the t had turned into a d and it became the new word to call a fox. Renard comes from a medieval novel character, not from Latin. Voilà.

In the majority of the Portuguese speaking countries dog is Cão and Cachorro means puppy. In Brazil, however, they might be used interchangeably (cão for dog and cachorro for puppy and dog). Supposedly, cão in Brasil became associated with the Devil in the xviii an xix century, and the word began to be used less often ( this is a fun fact about language traditions in Brasil vs Portugal: double meaning in words tend to coexist peacefully in european Portuguese, while in Brasil the original meaning tends to be overshadowed by the corruption, eg “grelos”, “cacete”, “rapariga”). So the use of Cachorro gradually passed from Puppy to dogs of all ages in Brasil, although it maintains its “official” use in compound expressions (like Cão de guarda, cão de fila, cão de água).
And here I thought they were just two different ways to say dog.. I've never heard of this distinction before
@@v1n1c1u55anto5 tem os dois significados na verdade, mas obrigado pelo esclarecimento. Vou corrigir acima e até enriquecerei com alguma informação interessante que encontrei sobre a etimologia da palavra no Brasil.

Because in reality Latin derive to Romanian language
Because people always assumed that Romance lanagues stopped at Eastern Italy, thinking beyond that land would only be Slavs.
Romanian had a language reform during which they removed most of the Slavic and Turkish loan words for new words with old sources and borrowings from Western Latin languages. Moldova did not have such a reform, so their language is more slavianized.
This theory is proven wrong. In the 1800 some Greek and Turkish words were replaced with French, but they were of recent origin. Many neologisms also came from French, and now they come from English. The Slavic words that went out of use related to objects no longer in use, but most of them are well and still in use. The Republic of Moldova was under Russian rule, and they speak a language sprinkled with many Russian words. When they speak a pure Romanian, it might feel a little archaic, but we understand it. Ah, and fun fact. The first contact Wallachian aristocracy had with French was when the Russian tsarist troops occupied it in the 1830s. The officers all spoke French.

Zorro means fox in spanish?? Holy shit my whole life i've been living in ignorance..
fox in Spanish has 2 definitions the first is an animal in English "fox" the second is a cunning and very intelligent person capable of overcoming obstacles, even if you thought that "el zorro" was referring to an animal, it is not like that
@@nicollano2012 The reason why "zorro" in Spanish is used on cunning and intelligent person is precisely because those are attributes commonly associated to the animal. So in reality, it is just the animal. In English you can also use fox with the purpose of saying someone is cunning, just not that often. A good clue is Robin Hood in Disney's film, he's a fox.
@@nicollano2012 na
In Romanian you can use ‘vulpoi’ as pejorative as well or archaic ‘outlaw’
CLEVER AS A FOX (ASTUTO COMO UN ZORRO).
ZORRO, THE MASKED HERO.
let's take a moment to thank this channel that united all of us romance language speakers.
In Italy there are some regional languages like sardinian and some central Italy languages (ternano and maceratese) that still have us and u at the end of some words. Now you know it
Romance languages: "can I copy your homework?"
Latin: "yeah just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied"
Romance languages: "ok"
Romance languages:
i dont think you understand why this countrys are called romance countrys....
Latin was the language of the ROMAN empire, and these languages are its descendants.
So...

Good try at the meme but this isn't how it works...
In French, there is another word for "Requin" : "Squale".
Much closer to the Latin one.
Ha bon mdr.
Square pour dire requin
@@Raisonnance. Squale pas square.
That's the case for almost all these languages, even in English, we can say Canine for dog, but it's not the commonly used term
@@solwen square c'est pour aller faire pisser le canis
For "Shark" in French (Squalus), we can say "Un Squale" too, even if "Requin" is more often used.
Yeah, and in English you can say Canine instead of dog, but no one does
*Francese scovato, forze legali ingaggiate*
@JeuϟPater
"Squale" is used rather in French in the literary field...
Latin Americans are also inheritors of the legacy of ancient Rome.

Our legal system is Roman law, our languages, the Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French) are an evolved Latin, in addition to the fact that most of us are Catholic Christians of the Roman rite.

Of course they are!
It is good to see this video, because it makes understand people that no only hispanic are define as latino or a Latin person. It is also an individual who speaks a language such as French Italian Portuguese and rumanean.
Did you guys know that the words "can" in latin languages and "hound" in English come from the IE root "ḱwóns" which probably comes from sino-tibetan "D-kwej-n" which has a derived term in Chinese which is "quǎn"
Romance Languages: Can, Canis, Ca, Cane... etc.
Chinese: quǎn
No. Sino-Tibetan word was borrowed from Tocharian, an extinct Indo-European language.
In Spanish we actually use the word "can" for dog and "escualo" for shark but they see little use nowadays.
In Italian Pig is actually Maiale, the word Porco despite being an other correct translation nowadays is more akin to the english "swine" being used not only to identify the animal but it's also used as an insult to identify someone either as a pervert or an uncouth and nasty person.
Em português serve pras duas coisas.
In Romanian “porc” is an insult as well, basically just like in Italian, it means “pervert” or “nasty” person.
Latin Europe: "We invented Europe and the whole Western civilization".
* Angry Greek noises *
Latin and Greeks share a common ancestor
@@jeupater1429 and that is most probably thracian
En español todavía se puede usar "can" como sinónimo de "perro".
Y aún se puede usar "puerco" como sinonimo de "cerdo".
@@Temujin216 en algunos países también se le llama cochino o chancho
Cane e porco 🐕🦺🐷
Lo mismo con "escualo" como sinonimo de tiburon.
En français ''squale'' est utilisé pour certains requins
Same in spanish, escualo can be used for shark too
Squalus = Squalo. 🦈
@@TheLanguageWolf depiende, Los escualidos son todos los peces con huesos diferentes de los otros peces.
Las raias , cazones, son escualidos. La familia de escualidos tiene muchos diferentes peces, no solamente los tiburones.
Pour tous les requins ! Squales =requins

Italian with latin is like

- shure but change it a little bit”
Ma stai zitto, noi siamo l'evoluzione del Latino, altro che copia. Sono gli altri che hanno preso spunto da noi
@@lukasdrango8365 infatti ho detto che sembra quando alle superiori chiedevi di copiare i compiti a un tuo compagno e lui ti diceva di cambiarli un po’ sennò si vedeva che avevi copiato, proprio per ironizzare su quanto siano simili, scopa di più e fatti due risate
