Can Turkic & European Pronounce The HARDEST LANGUAGE TongueTwister? l Who is Better IN HUNGARIAN?Added:
I would say that was the >> best one.
>> That was the best so far.
>> Are you ready?
And one more.
>> Hi.
>> Hi people. You remember me? It's Shabba from Hungary. So today we're going to check which country is going to do best at Hungarian tongue twisters.
>> So everyone, what do you guys know and what do you guys think about the Hungarian language?
>> It's hard.
>> Very hard.
>> Oh, I saw a meme saying this is how long you would take to learn these European languages and they were like colors and for Hungarian first time for Germany was like 3 years, France this and that. For Hungarian it says good luck.
So yeah, >> let me tell you in each other European country you can kind of say some stuff Hungarian is it's it literally sounds like a language from Lord of the Rings.
>> I've never heard Hungarian but I heard like it's quite similar to Kazak language. So maybe I can do best. Who knows?
>> Yeah, for me how I heard it's not like very similar with Asian languages like with Turk languages and also not very similar with European languages as well.
But yeah, a little bit mixed. But yeah, we'll see how it's going to go. We like that. It's okay.
>> Oh, I have a question for Sabah. Which country do you think will do better in the Hungarian tongue twister?
>> Uh, >> and the worst one.
>> The worst one would be you, my dude.
>> I mean, I will not do the tongue twister, I think.
>> Can you try once?
>> We'll we'll make him.
>> You have to try.
>> If you want to see my excuse, you can just tell me. I will. I hope >> um the best I think we have very talented individuals here. So I don't know if the best of them is going to be because of their country and because of their language or because of their individual abilities. I guess we're going to find out.
>> Oh my god. Okay.
>> Uh it's a Turkish.
>> Okay. What do you guys think?
>> Easy.
>> Easy. Easy. Very easy.
>> Doesn't look that complicated.
>> Level zero.
>> Do you know how to pronounce it? No. You should tell us.
>> So, it's going to be Sounds like you're jumping around.
>> It sounds like, but >> it wasn't It wasn't as bad as I expected it would be, but you can try it once more.
>> Wow.
>> Okay. Okay. Actually, good. Okay. I I will accept it. Yes.
>> That was nice.
>> When do I get my Hungarian passport?
I mean, if I had the authority girl.
>> Okay. So far, I would say the the only not matching part for him and for her would just be the O with the two dots.
That's H.
>> We have the same one in German. That's why >> I think that's why you're so good at it.
Apart from that, it was also nice. So, unless we are going for like the complete real Hungarian one, it's still acceptable. Unless you want to try it again, just in case.
bobe.
>> Let's stay with the first one >> because of the first one. Let's let's go with accept. Okay, we're going to have worse ones anyways.
>> Good. Nice.
>> Cuz we have the same letter. Okay.
Nice. Okay. Okay. Great. Accepted.
>> Good. Good. I I would say that was >> best one.
That was the best so far. Almost better than yours.
>> I um Sure. Yeah, that that was surprisingly nice for like overall I would say just because of the uh sounding like for these two that's the only difference. But other than that, the others were like almost perfect.
>> But actually for for you, which one was the best one?
>> Maybe because I was just surprised. I don't know. But when she said it, I almost thought that she's Hungarian.
>> Oh, really?
>> Maybe. Really? Maybe it's because I really didn't expect it. And maybe I have to like watch the video again for me to find out like, "Ah, wait, I was wrong." I don't know. But for my first instinctual feeling, I was like, "Wait a second, girl. Are you sure you cannot speak Hungarian?"
>> So, for this, but but the last three of you guys really really close. It's like 0.01% less than this one. I think it's because we all have like uh sish sound in our language.
>> They were influenced by Ottoman Empire.
I mean like they sharing similar words.
>> We have some because they were like occupying us for 150 years. So of course there are going to be some but as we didn't become more Turkish during 150 years we still have like a lot of base of our own. But definitely there was an influence for sure and we will have a lot of words in similar which we'll see in another video. But if you didn't tell me that it's I wouldn't know because and I mean it's similar to Turkish but not to Kazak because we don't have like dots.
>> Well then here we have the individual difference in skills.
>> Oh >> is it possible to make it a bit bigger for the blind? We need a lot of practice for this. Some of the other ones even I will need some practice. So this one should sound like >> ah okay easy.
>> What about your confidence now? I mean, it still has the H sounds, so it it should be still easier for the letter and for her as well. So now my expectations are higher for you guys.
>> Hi.
>> Hi.
>> We're cooked. Fam, >> we cooked.
>> Where's your confidence?
>> What?
Uh, it okay. Okay.
>> It sounds like you are a foreigner in Hungary who has been living there for approximately 2 years. Okay, >> that's good level. 2 years a foreigner in Hungary. I mean it's mean you are doing you did something good.
>> It's like it's like I can definitely hear that it's not perfect but I will understand. You want to argue >> you want to argue?
>> Yeah we can try.
>> Sure. Okay. So when you were uh saying it's like your is supposed to be a little bit in front of your mouth and not it's >> ah >> and not at but >> better. Period.
>> And that's not Hungarian.
>> Period.
>> Okay. Okay. Okay.
No.
>> For a Russian speaker, it's okay. Oh my god. So bad. No. No. It's not that bad.
It's more like he said the previous one was the warm up, right? But your sounds, they still sound too. It's like it sounds like instead of next one. But I I applaud your courage.
>> Can I give her one more chance? Cuz I think she misread the last word.
>> What did I add?
>> Okay. I'll read more carefully now.
That's That's exactly where it is. Yes.
>> Did I do it again?
>> Okay.
>> Really? Oh, I improved. I studied a little bit in the meantime.
>> Very, very good. Okay, so this time she was the best >> and and the second best would be him.
She was the best. Yeah, cuz even the last syllable was matching really well >> cuz I was practicing for like 2 minutes.
>> Oh, maybe you can do better now.
>> Yeah, I feel I feel much more confident now.
>> Okay, so D.
>> It's all the same. Just basic for me like all >> I think Russian will win this round.
>> I'm not sure actually. I think I'm going to mess up with the count with the number of T.
>> Sounds like the data the old phones.
>> Why don't you try D?
>> I'm fine. I I only use my brains Fridays and Saturdays >> to party.
>> No.
>> Okay, then we start with you.
>> I'm not confident.
>> It's okay.
>> Let's try.
>> Okay, let let me listen to the other ones. Not perfect. Not perfect for sure.
>> The thing is the problem is I cannot even follow it with my eye, you know.
>> Yeah, you get confused on numbers of t at some point. So, are you like counting what we say or you're just going to like go with the vibe how we pronounce it?
>> Oh, no. I'm actually listening to the words.
>> Is that a real word?
>> Yes, actually it is.
>> If I was in Hungary and someone is speaking with me like I will just feel he's like how do you call the person who repeat like uh you know some people is like hey he he hello stuttering stuttering if I'm hungry I will just think oh maybe he's having problem to say the word or something like that.
>> This actually means you did this pretended act. You perpetrator of pretended act. So it's for fight. It's for fighting.
>> Imagine your boyfriend is Hungarian. He fights with you like that. I couldn't be serious.
Don't even try >> now. I'm sorry. Now I couldn't even like I couldn't even like hear out the words.
I'm sorry. Even my Hungarian is full out the >> Sorry. I'm sorry. Oh my god. Okay, let's go.
>> No.
>> No. I thought she was doing good, but >> sounded good to me.
>> I think it was the e sound or the numbers of t.
>> Uh numbers of uh 10. Yeah. Yeah. And from the very beginning, it sounded like you started with already with the long word instead of like D.
>> No. Okay. Like >> you need to remember when there is one T, it's just a simple T. When there is two T, it's it's like a double T.
>> Sounds like Brazilian funk.
Da.
>> I mean, she's crashing out behind it.
So, I think it's maybe good or bad.
>> I cannot hear out the words. I'm so sorry.
>> Okay. Okay. Your turn. But guys, you are allowed to separate the words. Okay, >> we're trying. We can't see. It's okay.
It's okay. There were three before you.
It's fine. Do it slowly then. It's fine.
T.
And that's one. Tat, >> you cook. She's surprised.
>> Yeah. Yeah. She's like, "Oh, who is this?"
>> I don't know if I missed anything. Yeah.
I mean, you can do it once more if you want, but the first one was like pretty good.
>> Wait, I want to do one more time. Let me cook. Let me cook.
>> You did. You did it.
>> And that's period.
>> Nice. Nice. Okay. Can you do better than that?
>> Are you ready?
T and one more T. How about this one?
>> I did one more perpetuator.
>> I know she will never approve my but I did actually I read all the letters as it's written.
>> I mean I get it but if you are just counting a rhythm instead of the words separately then what do you want us to do with it?
>> The point of the spelling these words you need to spell it faster.
>> No, you just need to spell the words.
This lovely over here she was like perfect.
>> Thank you. I really need to say that he was good, too. Yeah. So, good job. Good job, friends.
>> And the reason why I chose her as the best one is because it sounded more natural. Not exactly as a Hungarian person would say it, but much more similar to that. I could hear that for him. Maybe it's because he was the first, I don't know, but he was still, you know, getting used to the rhythm of it, but she already had the rhythm in her. Yeah. I guess it's been a while since like everyone did their time. So, I was practicing here like this. The pronunciation itself was like almost the same. So based on that, they are both great.
>> No.
>> Comment down below. Tell me who's the winner.
>> Oh, it has everything.
>> So if I don't mess it up, then it sounds like Oh, that's difficult. Do you want me to go slow?
Hish the two dots is going to be the long ones are going to be kiss.
>> I can't do this.
>> Like for me it's um a little bit understanding like the why in one way like S with C and sometimes it's like C.
>> So when it's just S then we pronounce it SH and when it's an S and a Z then it's going to become a S. And then the last like CS >> CS is ch.
>> Yeah. CH. Just like for example in in Korea it's like cha.
>> So sauce is sh >> Yeah. I'm going to mess this up. I'm going to >> Yeah, it's so hard. Oh my god.
>> You know what? I should I I should take off this flag before I say this. You know, >> like Germany. I'm sorry. But >> I mean I just heard like two seconds ago these people saying if they start they will really cook. So maybe you should start this.
>> Okay. like not from beginning want to cook you know mess >> actually better than I expected it would be the lower one I will give you another chance the lower row after it's >> h >> yes want to try it again >> yes >> okay >> meets kiss >> okay Good. Good job. Let's see how the others do. You You may be cooked. Okay.
>> I may be cooked.
>> You may have cooked.
>> It's okay. It would be difficult for me to meet.
>> So cute.
>> But no, >> S became a S everywhere instead of SH.
>> Oh, >> yeah.
>> It's okay. It's okay. You cooked before.
>> You cooked before. It's okay. It's okay.
>> I cooked enough. Yes. Your turn, girl.
>> No.
>> Okay. Virus from my pronunciation.
>> So here too, the the sh and the s was very mixed up.
>> Yeah, it's so different.
>> Your turn, girl.
>> Yeah, I will do it. I will do it slowly.
>> No problem.
>> Yeah. Meet shoots kiss.
>> No.
>> Oh my god. But but but better than the previous two girls. But uh still it was instead of and it's but it's okay. You did well. You did well. Don't worry.
Okay. Your turn.
>> It's like an accident. I can't do it.
It's like this turn from tongue twister into how to speak Hungarian. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Like the in German we don't have these. We have oo, but we don't have the >> That's the point, girl. That's the point.
>> Yeah, but I'm German, girl.
>> At least we have in common.
>> Maybe we should jump to the next one.
>> Yeah, please. Please.
>> Okay, you cooked. You cooked the first one cooked.
>> And for you, >> thank you very much. Thank you very much. I want to thank me for my hard work. I want to thank me for my Hungarian accent.
>> So, just to explain a little bit, his was really nice, too. But the last words, the s the s was was not that was not matching. He wanted to cook and he cooked. So, congratulations.
>> Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, guys. It's meaning a lot for me.
>> Give me the button.
>> All of you guys did well. The coach doesn't play, you know.
>> Are you the coach or are you the assistant?
>> Yeah, you're the assistant. She the coach. Should I?
>> Yeah, sure.
>> Okay. 10 out of 10. Listen. Meat. Gooks.
Sh.
>> The first >> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
>> The first two words were surprisingly good. So, >> I mean, I think my the first I mean, the trainer hate the second trainer always happened that in the teams of football.
You know, when the second trainer is so good, usually first trainer just want to kick him out from the team. So >> I think he's just still tired from the Hungarian telephone game we had together.
>> So uh it's okay. You get exemption.
Okay.
>> Nice. Well, Hungarian has a lot of like what I realized is that some words when they like become like different sound, right? So for example, when G, C, and S, they're together, that's a different sound. I guess Hungarian has a lot of rules like that. So like I was trying to understand the logic, but it was too difficult. We have some double sounds like for example C and S, S and Z, N and Y and T and Y.
>> Today we attempted different Hungarian tongue twisters.
