Syrian and Spanish girl do really Look like they're sisters lol
I would say Latin American girls look similar.
screaming is illegal that man over there is not spanish he is from de Doninican Republic, spanish girls are FAR to look like syrian girls, and i am not being racist. I am from Spain and they look so much different and they look like where they are from, Middle East not European neither Latin... dont generalize the rest of the world that ist the US pls
Valeria Santamaria he 100% has Spanish blood in his ancestry
Mathius Mera of course he has a percent, but he is not spanish because he is not from Spain, if i had 5% African american, i wouldnt be African american, i was born in Spain my parents are Spanish, so i would still be spanish... so whats the point in your comment?
@@valeriasantamaria5439
Do you know how the Syrians look like? We look like people in southern Europe, some are light brown, but most Syrians have pale and white skin with light eyes and mostly brown hair
We are near up from the Caucasus mountains and southern europe !
We are arabized not real arab lol
Arabic tribes are not from here originally !! They are not Syrians
The purple hijab girl is mood 😆

Omg that’s kinda like in cypriot we say patixa

It’s possible that some of the reasons for similarities in Spanish and Arabic come from the era of Muslim rule over the Iberian peninsula. The caliphates of the past went westward, conquered North Africa, and went up into Europe through the Iberian peninsula. It wasn’t until Charlemagne stopped the armies as they marched through France that they’re expansion stopped. For many many years after, Muslims kingdoms ruled the lower Iberian peninsula and it would make a lot of sense that over time that Arabic words found their way into the Spanish language. Just a little history explanation for anyone that sees it.
That is the most possible one the Muslim conquest of the Iberian peninsula. The other being these Spain is actually pretty close to North Africa so maybe those exchanges found their way in their languages.
thats fax no printer!!
You can see the similarity as well in some phrases, such as "ojalá que..." (translates to "I hope that..."). The word "ojalá" is influenced by the word Allah.
Same thing as nahuatl, it influenced the Spanish language alot
Also many Spanish had to flee Spain to North Africa after the Reconquista.
And doesn't Spain still hold some territory in North Africa? I remember that being an issue with refugees.
This was a terrible episode. Some of the “Arabic” words are not even Arabic
Maybe it's just you.
@@FunTimeGhz Nope, definetly not just him
No I am Arabic and wtf was that
" Jirafa" i mean what is even this?? And mashara???

You should have done this video @Av, not BuzzFeed or these volunteers, none seemed to know why the two languages are related. Your comment is far more educational. Why make a video like this and not give that little bit of information? Talk about dumbing down...

@@Natalia-pc7fm aww thank you I do realize sometimes that they put out random videos with no research behind them it seems like they wanted to post a quick video filmed in 10 mins
As an Arab I've always felt that we have a very deep connection with our brothers and sisters from Spain or Latin America. I'd like to learn Spanish one day and visit there countries, because they are so similar to our countries.
Yeah doesn't make sense why man and woman has fought and killed each other with hatred over thousands of years. If Arabians believes the same we came from Adam and eve we shouldn't need to fight. And it should easier to become brothers and sisters.
Did you know Arabs occupied Iberia? Or maybe it was the Amazigh, or Moors… who knows
@@Nehauonboth Arabs and amazigh did. The general who conquered the Iberian peninsula from the goths was a amazigh named tariq
Duh, spain was colonized by the moors for centuries. Why do they act all surprised, it's like being surprised that Quebec speaks french.
im from the 6 and most people don't know these facts soo... don't be quick to assume, a lot of people are in the dark ages still
That comparision is wrong. Quebecois is french with some different words/sayings while spanish has only some arabic origin words
@@gasp1gasp1 Yes I know, the comparison was about the history and colonial influence, the fact that it's undeniable. (we all know Spanish people don't speak Arabic and that Quebec obviously doesn't have the same history as Spain, it's a broad comparison you get my point 😑)
@@DarkStrawbee yeah idk how people don't know that
Bonafide Gazali Yes, most of Spain was once conquered and part of the Islamic caliphate. Even though Spanish people never adopted Islam, their culture (especially Andalusian) has absorbed a lot of Arabic and North African influences.
Just a reminder for my Arabs here who sat that the words aren't even Arabic, the words ARE actually Arabic and even more Arabic than the Arabic we speak today lol.. I guess they did research before choosing these words though.
Don't forget that those words moved to the Spanish language in the Middle Ages so this is not Modern Standard Arabic and it definitely won't sound like any of your Arabic dialects. Plus, Arabic is a veeery huge and rich language (some words can have up to 20 synonyms so..) 😊
You could say its arabic, but it is the arabic thats been spoken by the spanish.
@@sieka5443
Nope, Arabic is Arabic, the Andalusian Arabic sounded like modern day Levantine and Maghreb dialects.
There is a Latin-Arabic language called Mozarabic, that's what ethnic Germanic Iberians spoke as a mother language during the Islamic rule.
And all those words in the video are known to most people and used on daily bases, at least in the Levant and Egypt.
You can find similar words in any language. I was surprised that many Ukrainian words and hindi are similar...sooo
@@msjadhav5192
Unrelated subject, similar words are not the same as transfered and adopted words, like the Arabic words in Spanish, Persian, Turkish, Urdu, Somali, Kurdish and Sicilian vocabularies.
Similar words are the words that are used by two or more languages from the same family tree, such ad the similar words between Urdu and Hindi, or French and Spanish.
@@morceen even if it not same group of languages, people used to have wars, trade relationships etc... that's how language can travel, even back in the days

what is your damage heather 😹😹💙
Your profile tho ❤
Sindiyyah, Mashara, Hassasin ? am i the only native Arabic speaker that never heard of these words before ?
No you're not
Im moroccan and I actually never heard of those words
"Sandía" comes from "sindiyya" which means "from Sind" which is a region in Pakistan where the arabs found this fruit, the name of the region comes from Sanskrit "Sindu" meaning "river". This would later derive to "Indu" and the name of the famous river that gave India it's name (Indus River).
Máscara comes from mas-hara which itself comes from "sáhara" and "sahir" meaning someone deceiving , a ruse to circumvent reality. -> a mask
I think they're old words
I like how there’s a lot of languages that kinda blend with each other
Having languages is such an amazing thing

When my husband and I went to Morocco and Turkey a few years ago, people thought I was Moroccan and people would speak to me in Arabic or Berber. It was fun and learned some words in Arabic. Can’t wait to go back! We loved the food, the people and everything 💕
funny enough, i'm syrian and when i went back to syria people thought i was spanish
Because y’all look alike ( hispanic and arabs)
SGII Prizz Not Arabs (true Arabs in the Middle East look more similar to Persian and Bengals), but North African. I'm Moroccan and I was constantly mistaken as Mexican when I was in Mexico.
Høøded Phøenix lol what city? Cause some Syrian Kurds look different
@@dundee6402
Since when do Persian and Bengals look alike, and since when do Arabs look like Persians or Bengals.
You're an absolute ignorant with some replies here and there.
If you're a genhybrid, please stfu and don't talk on behalf of us, real Arabs are all people in all Arab countries except for ethnic minorities, some of us do look like Latins, but we look more like a regular Mashreq Arabs from Palestine or Kuwait, and they surely don't look like Persians and Bengals, but hey, you think Persians and Bengals look alike, so no point of fixing it to you.
Makes sense that they're similar if you know Iberian history. Much of the Arabic influence upon Spanish came through the various Arabized romance dialects that were spoken in areas under Moorish rule. I was watching a vid the other day and noticed an Arab speaker say Almania for Germany, very similar to the Spanish name for Germany, Alemania. Both from the name of the Alamanni tribe
Aleman comes from Latin. Even French people use the same word 'Alemagne' for Germany.

I wouldn't have thought they were similar but I realized Spain is one body of water away from a lot of arabic countries
daniel they never oppressed them Spain was experiencing its golden age during the colonization not to mistake with ethnic cleansing
@@jasminetries9434 Ah, yes. The one time you support colonization is when your people are the ruling class. Spanish people could say the same about Spanish conquerors of America.
@@brolin96 actually i'm not middle eastern i'm just educated enough to know that what you're saying is false
@@daniel-zb7dy No dude, it wasn't oppression, but a golden age that shone light over the dark ages of Europe. Most Spaniards today have a least a few Muslim ancestors and some of the best aspects of our culture (architecture, agriculture, cuisine) comes from the time of Al-andalus.
@@daniel-zb7dy You Catalans weren't that oppressed back in the colonial times, were you? Funny because lots of white Hondurans (who are the ruling class btw) have Spanish last names but guess what part of Spain are those last names from. Don't play victim when my people has been victim of yours. 😂

Big Rock صحيح نصفها غلط
I mean, the Arabs lived in the territory that is now Spain for many years and left not only many words but also a lot of art, architecture, and culture in general (and Spanish from Latin America comes originally from Spain)
Actually the majority of muslims who lived in Spain were not Arab.
@@John-pk9rw but Arabs ruled Spain during the Umayyad caliphate 😄
I would also like to add that during the 19th century there was a lot of immigration from the Levant to Latin America, especially from Lebanon and Syria.

Fun fact Arab migration to Honduras started in the 19th century. Its no wonder we have so many similarities. Even our food was inspired and mixed with the Arab community that migrated. Just look at the flour tortillas
Most similarities are due to the Muslim rule over Spain, not Arabs moving to Honduras.
las tortillas de harina entraron a honduras gracias a Mexico, no por los arabes.
This is not Arabic this Irania language I am from jordan and people from Egypt and Saudi Arabia don't speak like that .
Is the arabic from Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia that different?
F Gouveia Iran offical language is not arabic it's Persian. it's a whole new different language and for saudi arabia and egypt they are arabic but since they're totally different country the dialect/accent is totally different with different Arabic words spoken slightly different or some new words completely different . Basically every Arabic country have different dilect that you really might only understand about 70 to 80% unless you're familiar with it.
@@fgouveia5995 iran aren't arabs they're Persian..their language is called Persian too however they use Arabic letters in their writings system..urdu language too uses Arabic letters in writing.. people think Iranians..indians..Pakistanis are arabs bu no they're not..we're different races..sorry for the rant ..i hope this was by any means informative

@@Abbyravenclaw92 Thank you for the explanation :) actually I didn't listen correctly what one of the girls said in the video. I watched it again, and she said se was from Syria. My mistake!
The moors - Arabic people from Morocco conquered Spain in 711AD so many Spanish words were influenced or directly came from Arabic.
Giraffe = Jirafa.
Assassin = Asesino.
Coffee = Café.
Mascara = Máscara.
Why are those words similar to the English ones? Don't get me wrong, of course there are many words from Arabic in Spanish, but they always select the most obvious ones. Like pants in Spanish is pantalón. And guitar in Spanish is guitarra. 💀🔫
@@brolin96 pantalon is bantalon in arabic, and guitarra is qithara
@@brolin96 jirafa and zarafa similar too
THIS IS NOT ARABIC THIS IRANIAN
*North africans, they were not only moroccans but also algerians and tunisians
Almost all words we have in Spanish that start with "Al" and are not followed by a vowel are from arab origin: Almudena, Alcaraz, Alhambra, etc.
those are not common words, alcalde, alberca or almacen are common words.
I love that they put the syrian flag on the thumbnail, syrian and proud 🇸🇾♥️
*uploads video*
The bots: “it’s like this was meant for me”
Yaaaay thank you I've been wondering if you would do a video like this one AND YOU DID!! 👏
There are actually around 10% of words from Arabic in the Spanish dictionary and this goes back to the period from 711 to 1492 when Spain was under Moorish rules. However, in modern times Spanish also influenced North African dialects due to the Spanish occupation of Morocco (1912 - 1956). There's especially a huge influence of Spanish in northern cities. I'm from north-east Morocco and we have words like barraca, ruina, caro, falso, puñetazo (lol this one is funny we say it like "bunia" 😂) so yeah I hope you'll make more videos like this one or about cultural similarities!
PS : Estoy aprendiendo español y gracias a esta canal, sé muchas cosas sobre la cultura latinoamericana y los diferentes acentos del español 😄
Si es verdad yo soy latino nos soy español solo que hay Gente que dice que los españoles son arabes si es verdad hay algunos que tienen sangre arabe pero no son todos y si 10% viene de arabe 20% viene de griego y el 70% del lenguaje español viene de Latin saludos
@@jajaiarigaga2842 8% viene del arabe, y la gran mayoria de esas palabras ya no son usadas, solo muy pocas.

Well very much since muslims ruled spain for 700+ years.
Was looking for this
Why is Zayn such a mood?!
Conclusion : they are similar : )
4-6% of the words of spanish are similar to arabic. They are not similar. Spanish is more Similar to a lot of languages before Arabic like French, Italian, Portuguese, and there is a lot of words who people don't use like "almohada", here in Catalonia use "cojín" o "coixí"
@@nosirve9458 Obviously friend my language Spanish has more similar to French and Portuguese because the basis of the languages I already mentioned are the Latin language used by the Romans, so without knowing French I can go and communicate with someone in a way simply with some slight differences

7ashashin google it
@@fakherr حشاشين؟؟؟ معناها مختلف 🤣
@@Abbyravenclaw92 Look at the origin lol
This is great! I took a year of Arabic in college and this inspires me to keep practicing both Arabic and Spanish!
I've studied Spanish and Arabic (and Hebrew). I don't think that Spanish and Arabic are very similar grammatically, though closer in word order and vowel sounds than English and Arabic. But there are about 4,000 words in the Spanish language that are of Arabic origin. Even the iconic term US Latinos, "barrio," is (probably) of Arabic origin.
Arabic also influenced other languages, especially in the South Asian sub-continent. A few years ago I learned some basic Urdu and I was pleasantly surprised to find some familiar words that I knew from Spanish - English is my mother tongue but I studied Spanish at university. So shirt in Urdu is kameez just like camisa in Spanish, orange in Urdu is narangee just like naranja in Spanish, the number 10 in Urdu is das like diez in Spanish, just like two in Urdu is do like dos in Spanish, diwan is customs in Urdu and aduana in Spanish, so we can see that Arabic influenced the local languages at both ends of the medieval Muslim world.
Hey umm just wanna say one thing no hate but, i see lots of videos with south American people and they say SPANISH, like in this video the words are the same but like mexican or idk argentino are not the same as spanish. Being from mexico doesn’t mean you are spanish or whatever it means you are mexican. Spain is in Europe and Argentina or mexico chile etc.. are in America. Plss understand the diference its just getting kinda annoying every now and then. (Srry for bad spelling im spanish so idk much about this ;v;)
For a person who is cubano and Arabic I love this and it’s very easy to learn both languages together!!!!!!
The syrian girl is so pretty. Too sad her homeland got turned inside out
I dunno why, but whenever I hear or see Arabic anywhere, all I can imagine is that the place was just struck by a terror attack.
You need to learn more about the Arabic culture. It is very diverse and definitely not about terrorism like the media tries to show you.
Yikes. That's Ignorant. Educate yourself.
Says the guy whos culture poops on traintracks
Flash cards with words are nonsense. Just ask a Spanish guy to listen to Arab local news . He couldn't even tell you the subjects discussed!
Dude I'm bilingual mexican-american and been around arabs having conversation and didn't understand jack shyt 😅.
Thing is Arabic dialects have a lot of varieties depending on the region.
Same thing each country that talks Spanish has there own form of Spanish also some Spanish speaking countries have over 200 indigenous dialects
well considering history spain was conquered by muslims and was called Andalus or Iberia
My professor said azúcar is also the same 👀 very interesting
He's right
The thing is that "Ḥaššāšīn" doen't mean "Murderer" in Arabic. It means "weed smokers".
Zayn and Gadiel together are such mood when he said he would take her to DR that warmed my heart🤗🤗
Am from Lebanon and yup it is great to see this kind of vids on Buzzfeed. 🤟🤟
Zerafa is my mother’s maiden name.
If you really want to compare Arabic to another language, it should be Maltese :) 🇲🇹
Asesino murder litteraly comes from assasiyun or hashashin which were a muslim shia sect of assasins
Any real arabs knows that this is bs 😂😂😂 at least 80%

I am a nice person in Spanish, but I like being rude in English.
@Sarah Asaad Seriously, I abuse sarcasm in English, while in Spanish, I try my best to let people know my disappointment in a polite way.

Failing BuzzFeed couldn't even fix the sound levels..
Like most, if not all, European languages Spanish comes from Latin brought to the Iberian Peninsula by the Romans. But, Since the Moors invaded Spain and held different parts of it for about 800 years then there would be some merging of the different cultures. It's interesting you would take a sad period in history of war and conquest and turn it into a game. The Arabic/Islamic peoples constantly tried to invade Europe on many fronts for 1000+ years. So many of the middle European Slavic peoples were taken the word "slave" came from it. How about take a crew up to Dearborn, MI and try to buy a gay wedding cake from one of the peaceful merchants there.
And the Europeans were peaceful people? Without the arab conquest Europe wouldn't have developed, wouldn't have remained the greek and roman literatures, there would be no guitar, no flamingo etc., no soap in Europe, no exotic fruits, no important scientific, architectural, artistic developments happening in the Iberian Peninsula. That wasn't a sad period for the flourishing Iberian Peninsula while the rest of Europe was in the dark ages the Iberian Peninsula enjoyed much freedom for that time in different aspects.
lol you funny dios stop crying
like a french priest told in th tv without arab no greek book
What kind of arabic are these words taken from.. literally wtf

Am I the only person that is arab and Hispanic and knows Arabic and Spanish, life is crazy
they really aren’t that similar lol
As a SYRIAN, I speak Spanish very good and I have been living in Spain for 6 months and i have to say this video was awful..
Some of the words were not even Arabic.. I don't know how the girl who said she is from Syria too agreed on the Arabic meanings.
There are tons of other words like :
Almohada
Albañil
Alcázar

Arroz
Aceitunas.. And the list goes on and on

Its more than just loanwords. 20% of spanish is Arabic. Arabic empires rules spain for a hot minute. When the colonizers docked in mexico and other north american latin countries the brought that arabic and spanish with them. A lot happened in between then but thats the big big picture. Latin and arabic cultures are extremely bonded

Not trying to be offensive but arabic is martian language
to confirm this similarity between arabic and spanish , i recommand to you to search more about the north african dialect "Algerian & morrocan dialect " you gonna found a lot of spanish words just check it .
like alquilar = lkra = rent, typical maghrebi
The perfect challenge should have being the two of them building or cooking something only using Arabic and Spanish
المتحجبه فاهمه الحجاب غلط 😂😂😂😂😂 تحضن اي حد
Next time Amharic and Arabic similarities
Nothing similar, Spanish language just borrowed 1000 or more arabic words. Nothing else
As a syrian I really think Spanish is similar to Arabic even latinas and Arabs look a bit the same...
Because both Latinas & Arabs are "mestizo" (mixed) people
@@olg06 Ik that, cuz long time ago arabs were living in spain and a part of mexico so the latinas took their genes so this is why they still look the same
Whoever told yall that was arabic was LYING
I'm still annoyed lol... the only Arabic word is قهوة lol
Spanish language have more than 4000 words arabic origin words, and Portuguese language have more than 3600 words from Arabic origin 👍

Uhm you can do the same thing with English vs. Spanish they have many lone words they even have almost identical alphabet... Anyways I heard arabs have conversations and didn't understand jack shyt I don't think having a few words makes a whole language understandable much less their writting 🥴...
LAUREN AND KIMBERLY ARE CUTE!
Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Albanian, And Bosnian all have some sort of Arabic interference or impact
