"The Romans elegantly made its presence known. The Romans as they often did, peacefully established their presence" My ass xD

How to talk about the Dutch 'G' without once pronouncing a Dutch 'G'.

[Gordonafloat]

Video which gives no Dutch language examples and is totally in English. 🤔

[henningbartels]

I really liked the Ukrainian folk costumes in it!!! It added to the mix of nice pics and contentless phrases.

As a German I can understand almost 80% of the Dutch language.
For me it's a weird mixture between old German and English.

Your video titled 'Why Dutch sounds so weird' misses the mark entirely. It's a haphazard assembly of nonsensical AI-generated text, with no real substance or coherent explanation provided. The repetitive nature of the content and the lazy use of text-to-speech narration paired with unrelated stock footage only contribute to the overall disappointment. As a newcomer to video creation, it's clear there's much room for improvement. Instead of promising better videos in the future, it would be more prudent to remove this one altogether and focus on producing content of actual value. Take this as a learning experience and strive for quality over quantity in your future endeavors.

A video about the sound of a language that doesn’t play a single second of said language is a ridiculous and pointless thing to do.

[MaartenHartog]

A 4-minute video about a sound which we will not let you hear. We will just describe it. More or less. And we will take the last 1 and a half minute by summarizing the humbug from the previous minutes. All for the clicks.

The harsh "g" is not unique to Dutch. It is also used in Hebrew and Arabic. What is unique is the "ui" sound in Dutch.

[swampertdeck]

5 minute video. No actual information. No hard or soft g spoken or heard. Is this AI generated filler?

[sonnylatchstring]

I think that these beautiful pictures require a completely different text about the Netherlands than about the pronunciation of the G

[christiano]

In the south you have a soft G. Instead of the Netherlands above the rivers.

[nowandrew]

Swiss-German and Hebrew and for that matter Arabic and Welsh also have the uvular fricative (or close variants).

[martinkullberg]

My favourite sounds are aa, ui, ieuw, ee, ooi and aai

Baai ~ bay
Ui ~ onion
Kieuw ~ gill
Been ~ leg
Ooi ~ female sheep
Lawaai ~ loud noizes
Im not such a fan of sch, but do like g- but the belgian variant.

[thijseijk]

I'm from the Netherlands. As far as I know the west and north of our country didn't always had the harsh G. There was a time the whole country had the more soft G like they have in the East, South and Belgium. I read somewhere that the harsh G is inherited from Hebrew/Yiddish mingled in to our language when the Jewish started to migrate here. But it's just one of the many theories. They ain't entirely sure where the harsh G comes from.

Why can't I access the report button for this spam video? It should be under three dots next to the Save button, but those aren't shown here. (It can still be reported from the channel page, though.)

[designedtogoslow]

The G sound comes from an 80year war in Holland with the Spanish approx 400 hundred years ago... That's where the unique NJ Sound comes from too btw...

[AboveSomething]

just put you on my "do not recommend" list and disliked the video because of the AI thumbnail.. do better, yikes..

[jooproos]

The Romans peacefully establish their presence is far beside the truth!!🤣🤣

[Clognl]

The Dutch G sound is by no means limited to Dutch, It can also be heard in Spaniish, , Russian, Arab, and a number of other languages. This video is a tutal faiilure,
