He just made noises, but we've worked together to define those noises, and thus we can communicate "Word" is a noise we started making to describe a noise with a meaning But then, is "AHHHGH!!!" a word? It's a noise we use to communicate pain, or frustration If your dad asked you to get his brown slippers from outside the bathroom in the basement, you put together thise noises and their meanings in less than a second to understand you must "go downstairs", "head to the bathroom", "identify which slipper is" "brown" and bring it to your "dad" You can just keep going like this, i love thinking about strange, philosophical things like this
From a linguistic perspective there is no one definition for what a word is or a letter or anything for that matter, it’s all collectively agreed and disagreed on. For one definition of a word there will always be strings of letters considered words that aren’t included
That would make sense, but languages don't work that way. English decided to take a lot of suffixes from the vikings, but words used too often never got the change. This is why we have 'rabbitS', 'cowS', and 'oxEN', and why first, second, and third are all different, but everything after that ends with 'th'. English started out as one of those weird tribal languages with way too many rules, and has been fighting against the streamlining process ever since.
Though quite a few weird things in English have to do with Vikings, "third" probably isn't one of them. It comes from Old English _thridda_ (or _þridda_), which is roughly equivalent to "threeth", but along the way the _i_ and the _r_ got switched around (something linguists call "metathesis") making into "third". Interestingly (if you're the type to find historical linguistics interesting), the same thing happened with "bird", which was _bridd_ in Old English. (The same thing happened with "burn" and "burst" among other words.) Also interestingly (again, ymmv), these words are just part of a whole pattern of such metatheses which generally began in the Northumbrian dialect of Old English and worked their way south until they became part of the standard language. (So, it is possible that the metathesis was somehow related to Viking influences, taking us full circle...)

imo their move to invent the word and then claim it's "fake" and "not a real word" is quite esquivalient. They brought it to life, now it's on them. They've got to take care of it. There's no such thing as uninventing a word once it's out.

In german we have "Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach". It loses some fun in translation but its still funny: "when flies fly behind flies, then flies fly after flies" I love this video :)
Oh, of course! Because in German all nouns have capitals, and the word for the noun fly is the same as the verb flies! It does kinda lose it's flare in English though...
@@LulfsBloodbag yeah, but even if you dont capitalize, everyone gets the meaning. There is also the "Wenn Vögel mit Vögel vögeln, vögeln Vögel mit Vögeln." Which is really not translatable other than "when birds fuck with birds, then birds fuck with bird" which loses almost everything in translation, but in german (even more for teenagers) its hella hilarious ;)

“Before was was was, was was is”
Edit: why tf is this lame excuse for a joke still getting replies?
I've looked at this sentence for too long and am now unable to understand the word ''was''
Damn deep
When was was is, was was was still?

Man I miss this VSauce. I would just come back from school and binge all his videos on loop. I go through a period of re-binging all of these videos every now and then. I wish he uploaded more often 😞
did this man just tell us who let the dogs out

In german we have "Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach". It loses some fun in translation but its still funny:
"when flies fly behind flies, then flies fly after flies"
I love this video :)
Oh, of course! Because in German all nouns have capitals, and the word for the noun fly is the same as the verb flies! It does kinda lose it's flare in English though...
@@LulfsBloodbag yeah, but even if you dont capitalize, everyone gets the meaning.
There is also the "Wenn Vögel mit Vögel vögeln, vögeln Vögel mit Vögeln."
Which is really not translatable other than "when birds fuck with birds, then birds fuck with bird" which loses almost everything in translation, but in german (even more for teenagers) its hella hilarious ;)

at school there was a book about saving trees written on paper and we had to take notes on it with a pencil

Waaay too many people don’t understand irony and they confuse it with simple coincidences.
Lol. That is irony!

I always thought it was ironic that a song called "isn't it ironic" contained no irony.
guess it's up to interpretation what about it is ironic
@@luisp.3788 I dont think that's how Alanis Morrisette intended it, I really think she had no idea what irony was.
@@dcrenshaw42 Maybe.
Either we've got a paradox on our hands (kind of like 'This statement is false.') or we've got ourselves an idiot.
