Really like this type of video where you have people try to read related languages
They are technically not related languages but they both use chinese characters. I really like these videos too.
@ yes, I know they’re not “genealogically” but there is the relationship between their writing systems, so they can be considered related in that sense
@@Nick-zl5xfthey’re my favorite
@@Nick-zl5xf Yes they also of course share some historical relation, even though they are not related. But they borrowed words and so on.
As a Taiwanese, I would read it as something about gifting hand paper something cutting hand something necessary
手紙 doesn’t mean toilet paper in Taiwan btw
I like the way toilet paper becomes letter.
Interesting.
I’m German and I can read a finnish text – but won’t understand a single word, since it’s a complete different & non related language. They use Latin alphabet – that’s all.
Except Chinese letters are ideographs.
@@tapani1857 Just found out – i can understand Finnish traffic signs. They look like ours.
Thats a bad example, Finnish is not a European language by origin. A Dutch, Norwegian or maybe even French text can be understandable for a german speaker for example.
@@ThomasVonHerzberg Finnish is a European language by origin, it’s just not part of PIE languages. Neither is Hungarian or Basque (and you’d have hard time saying Basque is not a european language)
Finnish and Hungarian are Uralic languages, most of which are on the European side of the Ural mountains, ergo in Europe.
interesting, well done
I mean, it is not too surprsing because Kanji are traditional Chinese characters and form the basis of a very large number of Japanese words.
