I think we should be moving toward using more endonyms. some exonyms are less "egregious" like Italy, but the more extreme ones we should start making maps and teaching with the endonym if possible.

I'd been used to thinking of 'lade' as the present tense of laden. A weary man is laden down with cares, and a bill of lading is a list of whatever stuff you've loaded onto a ship. ...also one of those words I get annoyed when a word game won't let me use them.

South Australians accent is slightly different they don’t pronounce L in words , young ethnic Aussies have their own “ wog “ accent too even though they are born in Australia

Stinky balkaners gonna be as mad as you want Greece ain't balkan 😎

Yea, islam ruined africa way before europeans did. The islamic skave trade was fad longer than the european one and was literally the setup later europeans used since it was already established.

I need 2 more sacred garlic bulbs to upgrade to a +10 colander helm

it would be extremely dumb to use endonyms everywhere, butchering a country's name might be offensive, where i doubt anyone has really problems with exonyms, maybe except the colonial ones but these are separate. nobody should be expected to learn the name of every country in their native language. and then what about adjectives? imagine you ditch exonyms and use endonyms, how do you call a person from such country? do you use the exonym then, or do you have to learn the language rules of the language the endonym comes from. it would be extremely stupid and impractical to use endonyms

good news: aside from +-=, hardly any other symbol covered in this video actually gets used in math anymore since middle school (speaking from personal experience studying math) for multiplication people really just write operands one after another (like 2pq), and division is written as either fraction, slash or multiplication by the inverse. percent is one of those weird things that nobody ever uses, except maybe those that care about real world applications.

Peru is the same in English/German as it is in Spanish, you had it right : the accent on the u means where the accent is (it's pe-RU not PE-ru), great video btw

The time this is most annoying is when you have to select your location from a drop-down menu and don't know if you have to look under D for Deutschland or G for Germany. It's not consistent, let me tell you that.

这些国家早期都是使用中文的，即便是后来换了一套文字，他们仍旧无法抛弃已经使用很久的词汇，再就是这些文字都是表音文字，无法创造更多的新词汇，更多的是选择音译，比照对应的发音文字形成书写词汇；中文不同的在于，每个字都是单独的元素，都代表固定的意思，两个元素组成的词汇，绝大多数都能推敲出词汇的意思，但是通过音译得出的词汇，更多是需要记忆联系词汇，无法通过发音猜出具体意思。

Very interesting thanks

I knew it it's ez

Lade is dead? you sure? i feel like "Laden" is still in use. Seems like they might be related. Also Lay Laid Lade. seems like there's something there, but i could be falling for a classic blunder. EDIT: OK now this is gonna blow your mind, but there's ANOTHER suffix that turns verbs into tools. I'll use it in a sentence "What's this thing do? It keeps shit fresh. Well that's a Fresher. I'm going on break." RIP Mitch Hedberg. Oh. he mentioned it, but he didn't talk about it.

Soup lovers, unite!

if you consider a "misspronounced" endonym as an exonym, then yes, we should totally keep them (like said by many people), Tom Scott has a video about how "merry christmas" is "Mele Kalikimaka" in Hawai'ian, showing how languages are not always compatible. But be should get rid of others (because of colonialism and the likes as you said). exceptions being the countries that can be translated, like South Africa. in all languages I know of (and I checked a couple more on wikipedia), the name is the same but translated (Afrique du Sud, Suid-Afrika, África do Sul, etc) even in the natives languages like Sotho "Afrika-Borwa".

Wayaryugeh is the real name of Africa, coined by His Majesty Simon Kaggwa Njala.

I use my Colander for holding and sorting Dates. 😊 I will close the door as I leave.

5:40 - In Ukraine in 2014 collanders on the top of one's head were outfitted to protest the ban on use of construction helmets during protests, as well as protests themselves. The laws were dubbed "the drakonian ones" and this was at the backdrop of the Revolution of Dignity with subsequent 108 people killed by the police special forces...

You mean to tell me that Johannesburg is Johntown

I thought spatula sounded Latin! I'm unreasonably proud of myself for that inference 😅

Patrick, never stop being awesome 😊 You rock.

Straight people should just call themselves married. They have the lack of manners to accurately title anything. They keep calling my gfs, my wife are they stupid? Do they not know that religion is just a 1 part of the world.

Yes, but who are you?

Can a country name that's written the same but pronounced differently be considered an exonym (ex : France, Portugal)?

You are now a Pastafarian. May the Flying Spaghetti Monster touch you with his noodly appendage.

0:04 As a space nerd, I laughed when he called Io(by I I mean uppercase i)Lo😆😆😆

Can u pronounce a hard r thats how croatia is said

Heavy laden is in the Bible.

Accents are weird fings.. geez I'm out

The fucking Union Jack!!!!!!

Africa's new name is *Garya,* named after Marcus Garvey

Bro it’s because “the Gambia (River)” is pretty much the whole country. Notice how the whole skinny squiggly country is kinda shaped like a river valley? And his it’s wedged into the middle of Senegal? Almost like THE economic region surrounding THE Gambia river is its own nation? So when referring to THE Gambia you’re talking about a geographic feature and all of the people that populate it.

These new age "native" names for continents are not only stupid but baseless, just like when some tribes in the Americas tried forcing Abya Yala as a new name for the entire continent when it was barely used by like one tribe in Panama

I like what the invented language of Toki Pona does. Every country, place, name and so on, is the endonym, but it is "Toki Ponised" to fit it's spelling rules. For example, France's endonym is Français, but since Toki Pona has no F or R, it just becomes Kanse instead, or something similar. This kind of tries to get the best of both worlds, because it shouldn't be disrespectful, its easy to pronounce in your native language, and people from around the world should be able to more easily understand the names better.

A Danish guy followed my sister home from Spain when she did an exchange program there in high school. He stayed with us for 2 or 3 months, & I think they're still connected on Facebook. Fun times!

I live in central america from age 12 until age 40 it is a very beautiful place but the name banana republic is not what many people thinks it came from you forgot or maybe you dont know how that the US destroyed many of those countries be the democraticaly elected presidents refused stoop to the unfair demands of the united fruit company now known as chiquita banana thats over 70 yrs ago and unfortunately they havent fully recovered

Continuing on from his point about "what endonym?", if country A were to actually pick a language from among the various ethnic groups of country B, it would signal to country B that country A favors that ethnic group over all of the others, creating a truly horrific diplomatic situation.

Has “turtle island” vibes. I get the idea of a united group of subjugated people against colonial powers, but let’s face it, most groups in the Americas and Africa got to be seperate groups by… being seperate and developing their own culture and worldviews and either peacefully, forcefully or inadvertently differentiating themselves from other groups.

this video was very nice when I downloaded it but is very serious now

There's another subtlety - the context in which the name is used. See also the whole "Ukraine" vs "the Ukraine" thing.

Lade is still used, especially in shipping. A manifest is often called a "bill of lading."

I think we should ditch the problematic ones where requested, and replace them with endonym approximations that are pronounceable and typesettable in the language we're speaking. Like, take "Austria" (not that anyone has a problem with that one, as far as I know). "Österreich" doesn't just start with a letter not in the english alphabet (and an unfamiliar sound). It also ends with a super unpronounceable (for english speakers) sound. So if "austria" were abandoned, ending up with fE "austerike" instead of "österreich" should be expected.

If having a favorite utensil makes you boring, then I guess I'm boring, too. Hooray for spatulas! (I say it as "spah-TOO-la" sometimes to be funny. Very cool to know the actual origin of the word!)

2:51 as a german speaker, it doesn't mean people - in best german lego fashion, it means "german land/country". (I guess you could argue that this is to be read as "land of the german people", but still, the people are implied at best) So "Germany" isn't actually far off, and the question becomes - how did the language get its exonym?

😮
