Paraguay and Uruguay
Or officially the Republic of Paraguay and the Oriental Republic of Uruguay
No way. Yes way
The two South American countries that outsiders often get mixed up that are both between Brazil and Argentina. The way I’ve always remembered where each is located is P U, and the P is always over the U. Yeah, I’m a weird guy, what can I say.
But while folks confuse the two, they are actually both quite different.
For starters, Paraguay is about twice as big as Uruguay. It also has about twice the population of Uruguay. (P- 7,152,703, U- 3,449,285) 90% of Paraguay lives east of the Paraguay river. Paraguay is also growing at a faster rate.
Paraguay is landlocked, Uruguay borders the Atlantic Ocean, for crying out loud. But hold up, despite being landlocked, the country has coasts and ports on the Paraguay and Paraná rivers, and the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway does exit to the Atlantic Ocean. See those beaches? They are in Paraguay, yo. Oh and Paraguay has the largest navy of any landlocked country in the world.
Paraguay and Uruguay don’t even border each other. Paraguay borders another landlocked country, actually...Bolivia.
Being further south and by the ocean, Uruguay has a more temperate climate. He never gets too hot or cold there, but in Paraguay it's much more varied. This map sums it up. Southeast Paraguay has a climate more similar to Uruguay, but the more north and west you go the more tropical it gets. Paraguay actually has two distinct geographic regions, divided by the Paraguay River. The eastern region, which is mostly grassy plains and wooded hills, and the western region, also known as the Chaco, which is mostly marshy plains with random big hills in certain spots. Paraguay also has a wet and dry season. Uruguay, for the most part, does not.
The median age is younger in Paraguay. (P- 26.3, U- 35.8) The life expectancy is higher in Uruguay. (P- 74.6, U- 78.4) And the infant mortality rate is also much lower there.

A great source of confusion in Latin America. So many similarities with Slovakia and Slovenia in Europe. But the Slovenes and Slovaks go out of the way to make the confusion tougher by having almost identical flags!
Perhaps a Slovakia and Slovenia video should be in the works?
@Mr Beat or Czech Republic and Solvakia since they were the same country once would be cool too, or do I mean Slovenia and Czech republic? Lol no just kidding I got it right the first time... i think.
Mr. Beat As a Slovene that would be interesting but I think is much better to compare them with Czechia. However our countries have a lot of similarities which I find it very odd. Also I would love to see Austria vs. Switzerland
The names are even more confusing in the Slavic languages. In Slovak, the two countries are alled Slovensko and Slovinsko.
Dispite their similar names, flags and being somewhat small countries that used to be part of Austria-Hungary, they're completely different.

Having lived in both countries, I can confirm that this is nearly all accurate, although the pronunciation made me wince approximately 47 times. President Hayes didn't arbitrate the territorial dispute over the Chaco until 1878, eight years after the end of the Triple Alliance War, but he is absolutely a national hero in Paraguay and far better remembered there than in his own country. Religion is far more prevalent in Paraguay; most Uruguayans take pride in being a secular nation and don't maintain religious ties. There is a much broader variety of cuisine available in Paraguay, since they have their own traditional foods (comidas típicas such as mbeju, chipa, sopa paraguaya, etc) as well as more Asian and other ethnic options. There is good food in Uruguay too, but about 80% of it is steak, pizza, and pasta. Despite being landlocked, Paraguayans also eat more fish than Uruguayans, oddly enough. But I think one of the most notable differences is the friendliness of the people. Uruguayans are typically polite but reserved, and less likely to branch out by making a friend outside of their established circle of family and close friends. However, Paraguayans are among the most welcoming and hospitable people I have ever encountered anywhere. Especially if you are outside of the capital, it's not uncommon to strike up a conversation with a local and be invited over for merienda (late afternoon snack) or a meal.
have lived on both countries as well. And I see it exactly as you see it.
one of the best comments I've ever read. Thanks dear mate, greetings from Paraguay.
Oh my god... Mr Beat doing a video about my country Cheers from Uruguay 🇺🇾 love your channel
Woohoo! I just hope I got it all right for you.
@@iammrbeat Mostly quite right. One thing is that Artigas wanted Uruguay to be a part of modern day Argentina, but as a highly decentralized federal union of provinces, while those in Buenos Aires wanted a centralized state (I guess it kinda mirrors the Federalists and Anti-Federalists in the US?). When Portugal invaded Uruguay after the Spanish left, he went into self-imposed exile to Paraguay, and never returned. His ashes were later repatriated and are buried in the main square of Montevideo.
@@gustavoganismo206 I don't wanna start a debate, but, as far as I'm concerned, the Provincias Unidas was NOT what is modern day Argentina.
Fun fact: in the 90s, Disney sued a small food company in paraguay called "Mickey" (which also used the mouse as the logo), because of "brand use" or smth like that, however, Disney sued the lawsuit because Disney was an entertainment company, while Mickey (the food brand) was a food company, and not only that, but in the 30s Mickey got registered in paraguay, so that means they can sell their product in paraguay and only paraguay without getting in big trouble.
So long story short, *The dominant company that could buy Fox lost a lawsuit against a small company from a 3rd world country*

Sadly, brazil and Argentina are stealing our recipes saying that is theirs
You forgot to mention one more thing in common: Both of the countries are high consumers of yerba mate. However, the paraguayans drink iced mate (commonly called "Terere") and Uruguayans drink hot mate like argentinians. That's another way to distinguish both of them xD
deupjhr41 paraguayans also drink hot mate, at morning, before breakfast.
Also in Argentina they sometimes put sugar in the mate, which if you do in Uruguay will get you burnt at the stake.
@@Th3Colossus7 SUGAR IN MATE IS HERESY

I remember one time I went to Corrientes, Argentina and they always drank terere

All education is free in Uruguay, including all the careers at university, you can choose private education but you don´t need to as you can study any career absolutely free. It´s not like there are only 2 free universities, 15 faculties in the country are part of UDELAR which means University of the Republic, it covers all the country and it is by far the country's largest university, as well as the second largest public university in South America. It has a student body of 137,757 undergraduate students and 6,351 postgraduate students. It was founded on 18 July 1849 and it is an amazing place to study, I study there myself (I am Uruguayan). Almost nobody attends private education as public education is really good and inclusive.

Oriental means “eastern” or “to the east” in Spanish, and since the country is named after the River Uruguay, “Republica Oriental del Uruguay” translates to “Republic to the east of the Uruguay (River)”. “Oriental Republic of Uruguay” is a bad translation
I know, right? Although my translation would be “Republic East of the Uruguay”.
No, it's actually call Oriental cause it originated from the Banda Oriental from the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata, called that because it was the easternmost part of the colony. It lost most of it's territory due to Portuguese's Brazil expansion.
@@krautrick16
Its official name _República Oriental del Uruguay_ alludes to its geographical location, it 'might' also be nodding to that historical name as well. But it isn't necessarily true that it does. As to why the English translation uses it so badly, I'm not sure.
Jasper Paolo Oriental means “eastern” in English too, so I think Mr. Beat’s translation was perfectly fine
@@angusb99
True, but the usual translation of the official name Oriental Republic of Uruguay doesn't really do a good job of indicating that the republic is 'east' of the river ‘called’ Uruguay, the name in Spanish isn't trying to be artsy, it is being literal.
If you translate back the English name you get _República de Uruguay del Oriente_ “Eastern Republic of Uruguay” or “Republic of Uruguay of the East”, as if there was a _Western_ Republic of Uruguay out there.
Dato: The National Anthem of Paraguay was composed by a Uruguayan. The same one that composed the Hymn of Uruguay. Hence its resemblance

@@kkkaaa5967 jajajaja
no sé si se dice Hymn en este contexto ajjsjsj y me parece que es an Uruguayan. Y bueno, dato😋
True, because the two presidents of that time where very good friends.
Fun fact: the Itaipú Dam was a joint venture built by Brazil and Paraguay. Both countries agreed to share 50% of the building and operation costs, and both countries get 50% of the energy the power plant generates. As you mentioned in the video, even with the agreement, Paraguay ends up with over 5x the energy they need, which they sell back to Brazil because, with its >200 million citizens, all that energy is still not enough to supply even half the country’s needs!
Thanks for sharing that!

Fun fact, Uruguay hosted and won the very first FIFA World Cup in 1930.
This is true. I gave them a shout out in the vid for hosting it at least. :)
Mr. Beat Even now, Uruguay punches way above their weight and produces numerous superstars like Luis Suarez.
Also, the 2010’s were very good to Uruguay.
2010 World Cup Semifinalist
2011 COPA America Champions
2014 World Cup Round of 16
2018 World Cup Quarterfinals
2019 COPA America Quarterfinals (lost to Peru in a shootout who eventually made the Final)
For Paraguay ⚽️ , the 2010s weren’t kind to them. Other then the 2010 World Cup Quarterfinals, Paraguay weren’t very good in the last decade:
Remember, they’re 10 nations in the South American Qualifying.
2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Finished Dead Last in South America Qualifying with only 3 wins out of 16 games.
2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Finished 7th in Qualifying. However, they were just 2 PTS out of an international playoff spot.
So maybe days are coming for Paraguay are coming up.

Yeap, It's because he was the mediator between Argentina and Paraguay, in a confused landmark affair. Argentina pretended to annex Paraguayan Chaco, the western side of the cuontry; but such problem was submmited to an international tryal were the judge was Mr. Rutteford Hayes; who failed in favour of Paraguay, over the basis of papers that gave the ownership to Paraguay. So that is why Mr. Hayes is one of our Hero. And the greatest portion of Chaco was maned Hayes

I'm from Uruguay, great video! Just some small corrections. 1st of all, our national hero, Artigas, is more of a regional hero. He did not fight for Uruguay's independence, but for the "Liga de los Pueblos Libres" (League of Free Peoples), which was a proposed Confederation of the Provincia Oriental (current Uruguay, "Oriental Province"), and several argentinan provinces, with a capital that would NOT be Buenos Aires, which angered their elite and among other things (like his proposed redistribution of land) made the elites of Buenos Aires and Montevideo ally with the Portuguese to oppose Artigas, who was defeated and fled to Paraguay in 1820. So he never supported the idea of an independent uruguayan state. Neither did the 33 orientals, the plan was joining the United Provinces, our independence came as a result of British mediation with Argentina and Brazil. 2nd of all, our poverty data yeah is closer to 9%, but several independent economists and journalists here estimate it's much higher than that, because the way we measure our poverty is very heavily "income based" and doesn't factor in access to education, housing, unemployment (another one that's poorly measured), etc. And 3rd, about Paraguay, Francia was a "dictator" in the Roman sense, basically a leader that exercises power in a time of emergency; not like we use the term today for a leader who turns their back on the Constitution and governs arbitrarily. Sorry if it got too long, it was a great video, but as it's not that common that someone from abroad makes a video about us I got excited! Cheers!
P.S.: Oh and one more thing, we got involved in the Guerra de la Triple Alianza (The Paraguayan War) because there was a coup d'etat. Our nationalist "blanco" President Berro was allied with Paraguay, which neither Brazil, Argentina nor Britain liked, so the liberal "colorados" led by military leader ("caudillo") Venancio Flores helped mostly by the Brazilians led an armed takeover of the government to align us with the politics of the leading empire of the time and our bigger neighbors. The Partido Nacional (the nationalists) have Colonel Leandro Gomez, who led the defense of Paysandu, one of our bigger cities, against the traitors as one of their biggest heroes, and really his memory should be more recognized by the whole country. Sadly, party politics makes that difficult. For anyone who undestands Spanish there's a great folk song that talks about the Siege of Paysandu, it's called "Paysandu" by Tabare Etcheverry. And Flores' name should live in infamy in this country but sadly not a lot of people know of this or care. One of the biggest stains on our nation's history and a debt we'll never be able to repay Paraguay.

Hi, I'm from Uruguay and I am pointing out an error in the video. Tertiary education is free. There are not only two free universities ... they all are, there are two or three private universities, but about 80% of university students do not pay for their education.
After graduating you have to pay to the students fund so it’s not really free..
@@Sofigonzalez97. That's the same everywhere in the world that has free tertiary education, it's still better and cheaper than paying upfront.
Who pays for it?
This was a great video, and I'm from Uruguay, so consider this "Approved by Uruguayans" :P (go watch the "Tiranos Temblad" channel if you wanna know the reference). You don't mention it in the video, but it's really interesting (at least to me) that the word "Uruguay" doesn't have a clear origin, since, depending on the sources, it can mean several different things. Also, I know it's a really difficult thing for english speakers to pronounce, but the way you pronounced the word "charrúa" was... uh... peculiar, to say it tactfully lol But it's ok, the rest of the video was very good and it made me want to check out your other videos :)
Dang you Cogito! Maybe he was pulling a fast one on me, but I pronounced "charrúa" exactly as he told me. :(
But anyways, thanks for the kind words! :D
@@iammrbeat Don't beat yourself for it. As I've said, it's a difficult word for english speakers to pronounce. I wasn't expecting perfection xD
You should do three at a time. Ecuador, Venezuela and Colombia compared
I generally avoid doing three in one video, as it gets confusing quickly, but I will certainly consider it.
@@iammrbeat
You should do a joke in your video, something like "Colombia and Venezuela, or officially the District of Columbia and … wait a minute? Republic of Colombia, sorry I get them confused." I'm Colombian, so you have my permission, for what that's worth.
They used to all be on country (Gran Colombia) but split apart due to differences. That's why all their flags are extremely similar.
Just Venezuela and Colombia
@@iammrbeat they were once one country... speaking of which, Mexico and almost all of Central America were also one nation too, and returning to Colombia... Panama used to be part of Colombia
9:08 In Asuncion, Paraguay there is a street called "Thirty Three Orientals".
there's also a whole department named "thirty three" in Uruguay
Larga vida a los guays. Soy de Dominicana y literalmente he conocido solo una persona de ambos paises, un estudiante de intercambio y una turista, ambos tremendas personas.
I would definitely look into living in Uruguay.
Se me hace tan lindo ver a gente de habla inglesa interesarte por estos dos países tan maravillosos! Soy Argentina y confirmo que en Uruguay, Paraguay y Argentina son países donde su gente visita a sus países vecinos ya mencionados, recurrentemente. 👌
Somos hermanos, con parientes y amigos en todos nuestros países, incluído Brasil (parte de mi familia también vino de allí) - vamos y venimos, nos visitamos todo el tiempo. ❤
I am Peruvian and I think I'd be more fair to compare Uruguay with Argentina
I have another series called "State Rivalries" that I was saving that for. :)
Thank you!!! That is exactly what I said before. Except for mate, which was from the guarani indians, we don´t have much in common with Paraguayans. Even mate, they drink it cold, we drink it hot. And our yerba mate is processed differently than the rest. So, thank you! You are right! We have many more similarities with Argentina than Paraguay... and some rivalries, but more similitude than rivalries.
@Mr Beat Chile and Peru is a hot one
Bolivia and Paraguay would make more sense maybe.
Buenos Aires and Montevideo is a good one, although Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo is more appropriate.
it is weird Uruguay and Argintina call eachother rivals in sports while they have been nice to eachother in the past.
@@tibodeclercq2131 it's more that argentinians have a "bad rep" of being arrogant, snobs, jerks, etc. (Of course it's not outright hatred for them) By most of the continent or of its neighbors. It's like in Great Britain with the reputation the english have with the Scots, Welsh and Irish. So despite Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay being the biggest countries for football here, argentina ends up everyone's biggest rival, also because of the cultural proximity, and, if you see in the Copa Libertadores tournaments, Argentinian teams dominate so Boca, River, Racing or others are usually the team to beat. But rivalries are not so much related to war but more to culture.
Abrazos a todos los paraguayos, nuestros primos, que todos creen que tenemos frontera pero desgraciadamente no la tenemos.
No la tenemos, pero el río nos acerca y el fútbol, donde jugamos parecidos, pero Uds.con grandiosos jugadores
Congrats to the people of Paraguay for promoting Guaraní. Felicitaciones a la gente de Paraguay por promover el Guaraní.

Fun fact: Uruguay has the southernmost, northernmost point of any country in the world
And, the southernmost capital in South America.

@@iammrbeat nah thank you keep it up!
I’m an Uruguayan and I just got triggered every time you said their names hahahahaha, it’s pronounced like saying why, Uruguay is pronounced uruwhy . The same as Paraguay, Parawhy. It’s not like saying way.
It’s a common mistake but my ears are bleeding hahahaha.
Was just watching Emperor Tigerstar's video about Hayes saving Paraguay, any collab there? I know you commented on there a few hours ago.
Yep, this is a collaboration between us two. :D

Yerba mate is the national drink in Paraguay and Uruguay
Paraguay is yerba mate ( ilex paraguariensis ) Uruguay is a nice province of Argentina.
@@gwolf1096 paraguay doesn't exist, dude, and argentina is a province from peru
Soy Paraguayo pero si me dieran a elegir en que país vivir sin duda sería Uruguay, no por que es uno de los países de latam que mejor está si no por que son re buena onda allá
Excelente vídeo amigo, gracias por aclarar este punto que a muchas personas causa confusión, ¡saludos desde Paraguay!
In September 2010 I visited Montevideo, Uruguay, and a couple of days later I was able to at least see into Paraguay, at least Ruta a la Marina y Aduana Paraguaya, and Brazil from the Hito Argentino in Puerto Iguazu. I had limited time there so I could not actually enter Foz de Iguacu or Ciudad del Este, as I was scheduled to go next to Rosario in the Santa Cruz province. I hope to go back to South America at some time.
Glad this came across in my Recommended feed! Always cool to see videos educating folks on Paraguay! We don't get talked about enough, even within the Latin American/Latino community 😅
it's funny how in school we celebrate "the day of the Paraguayan woman" because they were "brave and helped with the war" and then 90% of military men died for the country and I haven't see any celebration of men in war
Soy paraguaya, me gustaría contestar a tu pregunta. El día de la mujer paraguaya, es festejado por su función no sólo durante la guerra, en la que fueron donadoras de joyas y metales preciosos para costearla, sino por su crucial papel en la reconstrucción del país. La población masculina fue totalmente disminuida, sólo quedaron ancianos y niños. Las mujeres tuvieron que realizar labores de todo tipo, incluidas la construcción, la agricultura, ganadería, minería, sin distinción para poder volver a poner en funcionamiento al país. Es hasta hoy en día que la mujer paraguaya es conocida en todos los lugares a los que va por su temple, esfuerzo y su entrega al trabajo.
Cómo consecuencia de todo esto, el 24 de febrero se festeja su día y para recordar a aquellos hombres caídos durante la guerra se celebra el día de los héroes el 1 de marzo y el 16 de agosto el día de los niños, en memoria de aquellos que perdieron la vida en la batalla de Acosta Ñu.
Existe un día para cada uno, sin ningún sesgo de género, entiendo que la batalla de sexos se está dando hoy, sin embargo, quería explicar que esto viene de la historia.
Ruth Escobar wtf
You should learn our history before comenting. Withouth the Paraguayan women Paraguay wouldn't exist as it is today. Mita'i tekaka
@@rolfelim7587 That and Rutherford B. Hayes
P4to D0l4n She’s saying that it doesn’t just celebrate their role in the war effort, but their key role in reconstructing the country, and taking on many of the old tasks men used to do
Very interesting video! Can you do Latvia and Lithuania compared please.That would be dope
I would love to make that one, and then perhaps compare Estonia to Finland.

This one is my favorite fact about Jose Gaspar Rodriguez de Francia.
Francia welcomed political refugees from various countries. José Artigas, hero of Uruguay's independence, was given asylum in 1820 along with 200 of his men. He stayed in Paraguay even after Francia's death on a pension of $30 a month.
My country, Paraguay!
Woohoo! I hope I did your country justice!
@@iammrbeat mostly you did. But voting here is kinda still obligatory.
I believe
And I've asked before, and noone freaking knows about that dueling legal thing
@@augustomartinez4371 Have not heard of that.
Uruguay in the summer is similar in temperature to the West coast of Canada in the summer. Very pleasant time in Montevideo two years ago, not too hot and only rained heavily three days in 3 months. A great vacation spot.
Thank you Mr. Beat for bringing information about my Country: Paraguay. Now I am living in Brazil but I enjoyed your video because people who are not from South America often confuses both :)
Paraguay los verdaderos Hermanos
🇵🇾♥️🇺🇾
Having lived in Uruguay and visited Paraguay, I was doubtful you would do a decent job. But, congrats (¡Saludos!), it was was great. I was pleasantly surprised that you even knew about Portuñol, which was very common in my part of Uruguay in the North (Rivera), although in my neighbourhood, only Portuguese was spoken.
Wth I'm from Rivera lol
Na região fronteira com o Brasil vocês recebem sinal de TV aberta dos canais brasileiros como Globo e SBT?
@@pkb8353 Sim senhor, em Rivera quase todo mundo assiste novelas brasileiras.
Paraguay definitely proud of there NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE BOLIVIA AND GUATEMALA also has huge numbers of NATIVE AMERICANS who still speak there indigenous American languages . I my self speak Nahuatl my mother is Central American my dad is from Colombia
only about 2% of the population is native american in Paraguay
@@andresalvarezmernes114 but 90% are mestizos, or rather mixed, if I'm correct.
@@ipadair7345 you realize that mestizos are just as racist towards indigenous people in south America as white people are to them, right?
Long live Uruguay🇺🇾
Greetings from Montevideo Uruguay
With everyone at home you should do a livestream one of these days. Great Video Mr Beat.
Thanks Ermes, and I already have a couple planned beginning next week. :D
Roscoe W. Chandler: Now tell me, Captain Spaulding, you've been quite a traveler. What do you think about South America? I'm going there soon.
Captain Spaulding : Is that so! Where're you going?
Roscoe W. Chandler: Uruguay.
Captain Spaulding : Well, you go Uruguay and I'll go mine.
Mr Beat..thank you very much for this video..I hope to see more videos on Latin America
It was my pleasure to make this!
Uruguay and Paraguay have guaraní names, uru gua’y means river where Uru bird lives and Paragua’y means river where the “Paragua”(leader) lives.
I was in both countries last year. Paraguay is a little more backward than Uruguay. People in both countries are very friendly, Uruguayans are mostly European and Paraguayans are native people. Greet from Georgia!
Why are you lying? Amerindians in Paraguay is only 2%!! Paraguayans are white, mestizo and castizo, enough said. And sure, Luis Suarez is blue-eyed right?
@@metalero2311 Who?
P Mers hahaha... where in Paraguay have you been? Native because they were born there, right? Otherwise I don’t see your point.
Lots of European blood in Paraguay as well.
Uruguay y Paraguay
For the next video i would suggest Brazil vs Argentina! These two countries have so much rivalry between each other, particularly in soccer... Another good suggestion is Brazil vs Mexico (two largest Latin economies and population, with quite similar living conditions, but with very different cultures)
What about Argentina vs. Brazil for a State Rivalries episode?
@@iammrbeat Yes do it
It is not only in soccer, it turns out that the rivalry was also incited in soccer, Brazil has fought impressive 5 times against Argentina
Mexico and Brazil haven't much contact with each other, I think making a video Mexico vs USA would make more sense since both are North American countries.
Northern Mexico and Southern Brazil are similar both are Regions are their European cultures in their countries and richer regions while other regions are non white and poor
Nice video man, i love it!, greetings from Uruguay.
Fantastic video,loved the comparison between both countrys thanks for uploading this.
Homer Simpson: looks at Uruguay (hehehe) you're a gay
I forgot about that episode. :)
mi tierra guarani es hermosa,tiene mas cultura e hiatoria que otros paises territorialmente grande
Uh! Creo entender para quién va ese palo, bien metida 😂
Something for vexillologists, Paraguay has a different coat of arms on one side of the national flag than the other. Paraguay also, despite the majority of people identifying ethnically as Mestizo (mix of White and Native American), more people speak Guarani than Spanish
lol for all you vexillologists out there. :)
And a side note, I always hated that term "mestizo." I reluctantly added it to this video.
@@iammrbeat yeah, it was thanks to Paul of Geography Now that I found out the difference of the two sides of the Paraguayan flag
@@iammrbeat really a better term to describe Paraguay population is Castizo(a mixed of indigenous and europeans but the last ones are predominant) another way to describe our population is that we are the combination of mestizo womens and europeans mens ^^
The other language that is spoken is a sub dialect of Spanish called Castellano
@@iammrbeat I don't have any problem with "mestizo" (it just means 'mixed' which is true) and I'm from Paraguay, genetically adapted to the Tropics, we feel it as culture not race, 90% of us are mestizos, extremely proud of our Guaraní and Iberian heritage. Only some people (especially the anglo-saxons [sorry, this is a polite critique] - perceive their worldview through "race" and unconsciously still segregate everyone) have issues with that word, not us.
Very nice good job with us video. Thank you so much for sharing our history. 🙏🏼❤️
Anyone else frustrated at the fact that this guy pronounces these countries as Paragu-EY and Urugu-EY instead of Paragu-AY and Urugu-AY!🤦🏼
Edgar Olivera it’s so annoying lol! There’s zero effort towards any pronunciation throughout the video
@@RoamingHeathen it is the right pronunciation in English I believe, sqme in French
KAMARAD KAMARADOV looked it up and it seems you may be right for the US. The British official pronunciation is why the ‘why’ sound at the end, and this is how it’s said in Australia, NZ, Ireland and other English speaking countries. All my Canadian and US friends say it this way too, but it may be because they’re well-travelled.
