      @Benjamin Wrigley that's probably right. I still can't do some grammatical stuff, and I took it in school for A-level. However, I love it, and my teacher's awesome.

      @Benjamin Wrigley I do Danish on Duolingo and I often find that I don't have to check new words before completing the task, due to it being similar. Danish is harder to pronounce, though.

      @Benjamin Wrigley you'll also find English does it when we have a sentence like this:
      She gave the man a book.
      She gave the book to the man i the same thing, but WE imply 'to the man' by thd posotion of 'the man' in English. Additionally, you notice a lot of old phrases seem more German in structure, as well as 'informal' speech, such as "he ran real quick." We drop -ly twice, just as it doesn't exist in German.

      That is actually a rather astute remark, as the High German dialects went through a number of sound changes that Franconian dialects west of the border which separates the Low Countries and modern Germany which modern Dutch, Frisian and Saxon varieties never went through, namely the High German consonant shift which occured somewhere in the time of 200ad.

      With truely foreign languages it's probably even worse.

      Not so strange when you know that Dutch and German were actually one and the same language up to the middle ages. Then hochdeutsch became the main language is the eastern part of the realm, where platduuts, the later Dutch, became the new standard is the north-western part. But both are derived from the same language with historically Dutch being closer to the original in terms of sounds. That's why they speak of the hochdeutsche klangveränderung. The shift in sounds.

      Well, it's not a Flemish G, it's a soft Dutch G. The people from the historical region of Flanders (west of the Scheldt, especially in the westernmost areas) sometimes even pronounce the G as a hard G. In dialect, they pronounce it like an H and the hard G is a bit closer to the H than the soft G.

    Great video. For the non Dutch speakers, Flemish, in my opinion sounds closer to Hoch Deutsch because of the soft G and CH sounds. The Dutch spoken in Haarlem, for example, is much more guttural and perhaps more different sounding than German. The Dutch tongue twister - “Wij gaan op scheve schoenen naar Scheveningen” - would sound like a guttural hot mess to a non Dutch speaker and nothing like German.

    So as to show just HOW close German and Dutch actually were: until the beginning of the 19th century, the Dutch language was exclusively called "Nederduitsch" (in modern Dutch this word is now reserved only for the Low German dialects in Germany). This name "Nederduitsch" ("Niederdeutsch") was phased out in the course of the 19th century and finally superseded by the synonym "Nederlandsch" (later "Nederlands"), but in Belgium it lived on a bit longer (for example, a book called "Nederduitsche bloemlezing", 1895). One usage remnant is still there though, "Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk", the name of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa :)

      @dutchdykefinger 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      i found german quite hard to learn, because there are MANY, MANY false friends, especially verbs.
      same goes for english i guess, but i grew up watching english spoken cartoons with dutch subtitles, so i had that shit down at age 7 orso, i grew into that young
      don't hear german enough to actually remember the verbs, so i find it hard to convey that what may be the most important detail in a sentence :')
      there are many good german speakers in the netherlands though, gramatically german is objectively harder,
      so i would assume germans have an easier time learning to read and write it correctly, but the pronunciation of dutch seems to be the bigger hurdle there, the exact opposite.

    Des Morgens had a nice reaction going...about "come here". And many different Germanic rooted languages came by. Then the dialect showed up. One had "Limburgs" I presume from the Netherlands but it could also be the Flemish part. But its different from the Limburgs I am familiar with. All so similar and jet so different. *"Kum hei"* Limburg Netherlands; Kerkrade also *"Koomp hieh"* Limburgs Netherlands; Heerlen.
    My Father was born and bread in Heerlen, my mother was from Kerkrade. Two neighbouring cities/towns.
    My parents never really taught me dialect, because a couple of different reasons. Then there is the difference between; hearing/understanding, speaking, reading and writing a language/dialect. So mine is mish mash that ends up German like. This also because the dialect from Aachen/Hertzogenrath [Germany] is almost the same as the dialect from Kerkrade [the Netherlands].
    The Nieuwstraat / Neustrasse (I don't have the German symbol for ss / B on my keyboard), this is one street; one side is Dutch/from the Netherlands, the other side of the street is German/from Germany. Oh, the stories about the time with the borders and WOII.

  • @Svemicke

    Seeing this, I'm fascinated that Dutch is more similar to Swedish in prenounciation than German is. To go through your list of words, we have similar prenounciation to the words "dag" (day), "tand" (tooth), "skadad" (damaged), "besök" (visit), and "plikt" (obligation/duty). "Luftfuktighet" (humidity) is a bit different. We say "luft" as in German, but the Dutch prenounciation of "fuktighet" is closer to ours. I guess we have the similar ending, when German uses -keit and Duch uses -heid, we say -het (prenounced like the English "hate". "Ensamhet", for example, which means loneliness. Let's continue; "sour" in Swedish is "sur" and is almost prenounced exactly the same as "zuur". To share is "dela" in Swedish and to overestimate is "överskatta". That was the words I found, that is close to how we prenounce it in Swedish. I'm curious to see how much Dutch I can understand without translation.
    Sorry for being off topic, but it was interesting to find out how similar Dutch is to Swedish in prenounciation. Thanks for a great, educative and interesting clip!

      @@xrenx4921 Rubbish. 300 years ago Germany did not exist, let alone that there was a single government imposed language. Dutch has a different origin than German and in fact northern German "dialects" are not related to German as well. Trailing back to the start of our common era we can identify five major Germanic tribes in north-west Europe:
      - The Frisians owning the north-west quadrant
      - The Saxons owning the north-east quadrant
      - The Franks in the west and center
      - The Swabians in the south-west
      - The Bavarians in the east
      The official German language was constructed (yes, it's an artificial language) by combining language components derived from the latter three. Dutch is mostly derived from Frisian, like Westphalian, but the official Dutch as commonly spoken in the west and south contains notable French language influence.
