The lowest elevation in Europe yet tallest people in the world. Welcome to the land that...MAKES its own land. The place where water is your biggest enemy and friend. Europe's interesting, meticulous, yet a little crazy and adventurous son, the #NETHERLANDS. -...Oh and for the record, that random dude is Hannah's little brother.

6:14 You swapped the names of the roads. The top one is the E22 or A7, and the bottom one is the N302

Love the Curly guy, he's so very funny 🤣

@kasper41291 And Israel too

As a Dutchman, the strong lack of bicycles in your video upsets me. We've even got public bicycle chargers for our electric bikes.

Are you 6ft?

@Somalia Do you speak any of the Cushitic languages?

I love how it’s called Nether-lands but it has so many canals and green hills

Indeed. Bikes have been tied very strongly to Dutch nationalism especially recently with the Russian oil crisis. The Dutch bicycle infastructure also is being copied all over Europe. The new bicycle storage in Amsterdam is dripping in Dutch nationalism.

@vilanokaizo Zo weinig....😉

I’m Dutch, I live in the Netherlands. This guy explained our country better that my history teacher!

Though while the total population density is higher it isn't as crowded as many people often like to imagine. Something to consider is that the Nile delta is about the same size as the Netherlands but has over 3 times the population. However while Egypt has that incredibly dense region it also has massive amounts of empty desert and that forces the average density down. So it isn't that the Netherlands is horribly crowded, it's just that it doesn't really have many empty areas.

Ik weet nu meer over Nederland dan ik daarvoor deed lol. En ik ben nederlander

Ik ook.

Agreed

@Mike Van Bijnen ik ook

that is actually the first time i hear an american pronounce "gouda" correctly, well done

@Zigi Samblak and pronouncing schiphol as "shiphole"

Totally true.

howda you pronounce that?

@Jules hahahahaha

It was very funny and amazing he said it good

As a German whose ex is a Dutch girl I’ve got to admit that the Netherlands is still my favorite country in Europe. The Dutch also have mastered combining high work ethics with an relaxed attitude that I wouldn’t have thought possible.

I have a great grandpa that was german and a great grandmother that was Dutch 🤙

you mean a niederländisch girl

We dont say : “Its raining a lot today”. No, we say “WAT EEN KUT WEER”! And i think thats beautiful.

Wan n zeikweer

Rotweer

in the netherladns whe dont say :hey look a macdonalds.whe say:MACCIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Canada and the Netherlands have an unbreakable bond 🇨🇦❤🇳🇱

canada is very friendly to us, and the other way around. CA NL ♥

Kan julle Nederlanders my Afrikaans verstaan? Like as jy doen

Ja

geen probleem. Is gewoon 17de Nederlands ( Diets)

ja!

Klein beetje

ja ik begrijp je

The Netherlands really do never forget Canada liberated them during WW2. I am canadian and went to the netherlands for a music festival and was treated so insanely warmly everywhere I went. Very good people.

Yeah they're soooo happy with their multiculturalism and post-communism 🤣

In my city Zutphen there is a whole neighbourhood where almost every street is named after canadian soldiers or canada. One canadian soldier died there and he has a cross to remember him with flowers laying there regularly.

Love Canada🍁🌷

LOL I LIVE IN NETHERLANDS

I live near the Dutch border and i can confirm that the Dutch and Flemish people are the best of friends. And as friends do, we make fun of eachother.

@IdkwhattonamemychannelbutiwanttomakeitatmaxlongPls it's fine, the Dutch vs Belgians meme is pretty obscure.

@Gerben time i didnt get the meme sorry

@IdkwhattonamemychannelbutiwanttomakeitatmaxlongPls I don't hate Belgium, it's the same meme about France and England hating each other. As for the name part, everyone's name means something and the other guy basically pointed and laughed, I wouldn't have minded if they made a joke about my Dutch heritage but he pointed at my name, so I made a counter argument against his joke.

@Gerben time imagine complaining about people because they were born in a country ya don't like also hi i also have a name that translates into a word

Louis Garidel wel to us Brabantians they are , why are we called North Brabant because southern Brabant is Belgium, we are linguistically and culturally the same we are Roman catholic, unlike Hollanders

Hello, I just wanna share some stories about my grandfather who is a veteran and grandfather's friend who is a veteran Dutch soldier. He ever told me about his struggles when he was still under colonialism. at that time he was caught by the dutch army and after interrogation he was allowed to go home. when he was detained and interrogated, there was a dutch soldier, he was very nice. he brought my grandfather went home at that time. After many years of independent Indonesia, when my grandpa saw the Dutch people who are on pilgrimage at the Dutch cemetery, he talked with them in Dutch because he was fluent in Dutch. maybe at that time the Dutch army who helped my grandfather heard the news in the Netherlands so he visited Indonesia. After that they met again and they became best friends until now. The Dutch veteran also visits Indonesia every year in August to carry out the commemoration of Indonesia's independence. But now he has died. My grandfather is really sad because he has passed away. Im also sad because he was very good to my grandfather and also to me.and now my grandpa also passed away. but I'm sure they must have been happy there:').thanks for read this.always spread kindness and love

that's beautiful bro

Wow

I'm Swedish. I had a long distance relationship with a dutch guy. The Netherlands is a really cool country, and I'm happy that I've had the possibility to visit. I really miss Poffertjes!!

@6helloworld9 jazeker

poffertjes zijn lekker

@Cyril Widdershoven hallo, hoe gaat het ?

@The lazy Dutchman i agree

@corbeau hahaha i don't care if it's just dough because it's sooo tasty!!

This was an excellent video! My Oma actually lived in the Netherlands during WWII, and she met my grandfather there, who was serving for the Canadian military. If you ever heard stories about the "Dutch war brides," my Oma was one of them. About the music section, one artist of note (no pun intended) is Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL, aka that guy who remixed that Elvis Presley song in the early 2000s. While his early work fused EDM with rock & metal, he went on to make music for video games and movies, including Scooby-Doo, Deadpool, the Sonic The Hedgehog movies, and several films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The tallest mountain in the Netherlands are the people.

Echt he

Hahahahaha

lanky wimps

.

:/

Silently crying because the Dutch guy called my province “North-Holland” when it’s really “North-Brabant” 😂 Also, a small note: Willem van Oranje was NOT the first king of the Netherlands. He was what is called a “stadhouder”. The Netherlands didn’t become a kingdom until 1815 with the first king being Willem I van Oranje (they sometimes get confused because they’re both called Willem).

@Dive_Deep Nope ... erger nog die Hollanders hebben eeuwenlang de rest van Nederlands als slagveld gebruikt

Dat had ik ook rip noord Brabant man

@Brian J. yes I know technically Louis Napoleon was the first king but since the Netherlands was under french occupation we don’t really count him as our first king 😂

The first king was actually Louis Napoleon, under french rule, during the time Napoleon took over the mainland of europe. But yes, the first dutch King was William I

frustrating that he dared to call Brabant Holland Wij benne Brabant en ginne ordinaire Holland nie

Literally that sets Netherlands apart from all the countries is a the best country wide cycling infrastructure in the world, yet it is not mentioned.

@Carlos Caminando those are 3 cities, not an entire nation.

@Carlos Caminando copenhagen is not the same, cycling infrastructure is way better in the Netherlands.

I’ve been hit by a car 4 times this year so yeah it’s great

The whole water thing sets them apart

The Netherlands are blessed with such beautiful, geographical variety of sceneries.

Me as a dutchman, i can say that the part of "gekoloniseerd" is the pure definition of accuracy

elke video dat over nederland gaat terwijl ze engels spreken/zijn heeft wel een comment met G E K O L O N I S E E R D en elke nederlander gaat stuk als ze het lezen.

@fortnite balls most of m probably know

@Bisma Naufa nah fam

@fortnite balls you too

@Dirk Rovers do 5yo or 10yo kids know tht they sell some other bad stuff rather than coffee in the shop

As an Indonesian I absolutely love this country

*visible confusion*

We met them just before they shot this episode in YouTube Space LA, and they were the nicest people ever! Thank you guys!

@KangmasTris amazing video!

@Bon as if, your country is *also not important* to the rest of the show let them be, dude

Wait, you MET Barbs and the gangs in LA? What are you guys doing there anyway? Didn't expect you to be here as well, but it's cool to see you, bang Andovi

Didn't expect you here

Hello Dutch people! I’m from Canada.🇨🇦 thanks you for the gorgeous tulips you send us everyone year, it’s very sweet of you to do that and we appreciate it very much! ♥️

🇳🇱❤🇨🇦

We, the Dutch Low Saxons have not forgotten the Canadians. My besties are Curaçaos-Canadians.

Thanks for saving our asses! If you ever visit let me show you around 🇳🇱❤️🇨🇦

As a German, we love our neighbors. I actually worked at Phantasialand (theme park near cologne) this summer and there were a lot of dutch visitors. I then returned the favor and went to De Efteling with a friend and that was a great day.

Love Netherlands, from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇳🇱

Also a great friend of The Netherlands was Japan. We've had a trade agreement with them for over 400 years without any breaks in between. We were the only country to be allowed to visit when Japan closed the country. There was some strife during WW2 due to Japan removing Dutch rule over (now) Indonesia because of their oil industry which was vital for Japan's war effort. But we cool now.

Hello. My. Friend

I’ve visited all the Dutch municipalities and I’ve lived in two of them, Aruba and Saint Marten. I’ve been following you on yt since 2015 when I’ve lived in Saint Marten. Thanks for al the ADHD geography info. I’ve learned so much from you about my favorite topic. I’ve visited 60 countries so far. I even visited Afghanistan three times. The country of your first episode. Keep up the good work, Barbs. Greetings from a Dutch, long time fan.

St. Marten is a beautiful place. My cousins’ wife is from there and we went there for the wedding

leuk, lekker alles zien! :) Ik doe wat dat betreft niks, altijd leuk om te horen dat iemand wel een passie heeft ;)

In dutch we don't say "I love you so much" we say "je krijgt nog 1.60 van me voor die frikandelbroodjes, stuur maar ff een tikkie" and I think that's beautiful

HAHAHAUAHA grappig

So hard word

@Olaf Witkam 1.80? Je bedoelt 85 cent

gierig

ja man dat klopt (yes ma'am thats right)

One other thing: 98% of all the MDMA produced on earth comes from the Netherlands, more specifically from the province Noord-Brabant ;)

@A Dutch Serbian guy Canada, Tjechië, België en Polen zijn ook landen met veel productie

@Max waar word het nog meer gemaakt dan?

Alle tiener zeggen ja tegen mdma

Alle tieners zeggen ja tegen MDMA

Im from noord Brabant

As a Dutchman, it is my duty to declare that in the name of his majesty, King Willem-Alexander, this video has hereby officially been colonized by the Kingdom of the Netherlands!

@Joeri U lmao I didn't even catch that, that's hilarious :'D

G E K O L O N I S E E R D

Me, and indonesian = Oh no, run

@Thē NaNaû same

i love the netherlands and it's my favourite country i visited even though i only went once. people there are so friendly and nice and also damn attractive lol. i wish i can visit again soon love from singapore!

Greetings from Germany. I love the netherlands. They have a national color. That's supercool. And the people are so chill and funny. At least those I know.

Thanks. I think this is just cultural, but I LOVE flags with orange on them. I even wish sometimes we kept the old colours to differentiate ourselves with the colour that makes us proud instead of the standard blue red and white combo. By the way, no hard feelings about WW2 from this guy. It happened, let's move on😁😁👍🏼 🇳🇱🧡🇩🇪 Edit: I also have a cussin in Germany by the way. Lives in Duisberg. So I get to visit every now and then. You guys have the best beer on the planet after all😜🍻

@Rockin' Resurrection yes

@Rockin' Resurrection I've had German lessons in high school for 2 years. Speaking German generally isn't much of a problem for me. But writing and German grammar.... Ungh...

@Rockin' Resurrection yes i agree

@Nova Atom The problem actually is that our languages are so similar that it's hard for me not wanting to switch into German while speaking dutch

Love to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ♥ 🇮🇪 from Ireland

Love to both Ireland and the Netherlands from Utah! Beautiful cultures and fantastic people. 🇺🇸 ♥️ 🇳🇱 ♥️ 🇮🇪

thanks homie, irish people are welcome here

Love and huge respect! they are very beautiful, polite, good mannered and highly cultural people. Once I had flatmate from netherland and i still miss her, so nice girl! Love from 🇬🇪

Four years after this episode I finally visited The Netherlands and went speed skating in The Hague, can’t wait to go back!

I've living here for a month and I can confirm the awesomeness of this country. And also, how freaking tall is people here.

I've lived my whole life in walking distance from one of those sand drifts and it's like the most normal thing for me. I never knew they were uncommon.

One of the most beautiful countries I have ever been to. Kind people great food and quality of life!

You forgot about bicycles, in the netherlands we cycle a lot.

And The Ice man

Waar

Echt wel

Ja heel vaak hahaha!

15:25 here to remind everyone that Eddie van Halen's dad was Dutch and his mom was Indonesian RIP Eddie, heroes are remembered but legends never die

En Jimi Hendrix

Yes

Yes

Watching this video is making me very proud being a dutchman.

The Netherlands is a great country, i love the people alot. Can't wait to get back there soon

So interesting country. Can't imagine an entire country being totally flat. I live in a relatively hilly Czechia, luckily in the Elbe valley which is the flattest part of the country so we have a "preview" of Netherlands there ... including similar agriculture, sand, flowers, wind mills and floods. Still we do see mountains literally everywhere around us in the distance on a clear weather.

I've been watching this GN for almost 7 years now just because the content is absolutely amazing, and finally, today is the day I'm using this channel for a school project. Wow.

same

OMG, you didn't mention bicycles!!!!!! It's our life!!!!

Don't forget hondepoop!

:o

@Justicar L I mean in any big city, like New York, London, Singapore etc. bicycles would be pretty damn handy as well It's just weird that they're so uncommon there

Lol

Wat vinden we van de wielrenners die oude mensen aanrijden.

Dutch people are very nice I love what they are doing for my country Lots love from bangladesh

The "hmm we should hang out some time" comment from Bangladesh is actually pretty accurate, there are numerous projects of water management in other countries. The Netherlands also helped with the flooding in New Orleans in 2001(?)

Yes, an 50 head strong American delegation visited the Dutch waterworks some months after the flood of New Orleans in 2005.They based their 'Greater New Orleans Urban Water Plan' on Dutch flood control. The main idea is seeing water as an asset instead of a danger, so they gave much more room for water on a friendly and natural way. Less concrete and much more absordable surfaces all in and around New Orleans so it can absorb and store excess stormwater. We have those buffers everywhere in the cities in the Netherlands and combined them with recreational or/and natural functions. And around rivers we have spare-farmerland that can take the function of a temporaly waterbuffer when the river can't take all rainwater from hunderd of miles away (like Germany/France or even the Alpes).

For people who have never been in the Netherlands or aren’t Dutch, try stroopwafels they are delicious! I’m Dutch btw haha

Fun fact: New Zealand is named after the dutch province of Zeeland which means Sealand

He said that in the video.

Not only farmers but also sailors used clogs; they kept your feet warm and dry, but the main advantage was they wouldn't slip on the wet wooden surface of a ship's deck.

10% of people watching this: people interested in the Netherlands 90%: Dutch people

Precies

Tuurlijk Helemaal goed! 🇳🇱 Translation: Of course Very good!🇺🇸🇬🇧

Ik ben half Nederlands. Wat nu? I am half Dutch. What now? 😁

lmao juist

9.99% of people watching this: People intreested in the Netherlands 10%: Dutch people 0.01% of people (me): Interested in the Netherlands because of pre-colonization

17:17 'Their little brother they love picking fun on and calling stupid, BELGIUM' This is so true we have way too many jokes about Belgium 🤪

South Netherlands* But why goes a South Dutch to bed with a brick and a torch? So he can use the brick to turn off the light and see of the light is out with the torch

Zuid-Nederland*

ZUID NEDERLAND

flitsertheo well you’re to busy trying to figure out if Brussels is its own country or not

On the other hand we Belgians have no jokes about the Dutch. There is nothing funny about these people.

Watching this video because i, as a german, visited the netherlands hundreds of times and realized i know nothing about this country. I still love it everytime i'm there

Vielen dank, Nachbahr :)

As a Dutchman from a very Dutch Part of NW Iowa in the United States I am very proud of my Dutch Heritage. You are Velcome to visit our Tulip Festival in May!

You know even as a german, hearing johan cruyff described as these soccer players does hurt my heart. This guy was a phenomenal player, but as a coach, he revolutionized the way soccer was played with his tactics and strategies.

Loved the video.  Just a suggestion: There are three officially recognised regional languages in the Netherlands: Limburgs, Fries and Nedersaksisch (Low Saxon). And then there are the official recognised non-regional minority languages Sinti-Romanes and Jiddisch, and on the special municipalities Papiamento (Bonaire) and English (Saba and Sint-Eustatius). So basically the Netherlands has 8 languages that are officially recognised.

The highest peak of the Netherlands is a person

Yeah it’s my friend Douwe cool guy 😊

Ironically, Zandvoort, the circuit that hosts the Dutch Grand Prix, has the wildest elevation changes on the entire F1 calendar

Haha, it must be a 350 m long person then.😉

I know this is a joke but actually the highest peak it’s a mount of 325 meters lol,only few parts of Netherlands have true elevations

As a Dutch person I 100% agree

Ik vind het heerlijk hoe hij Nederlandse woorden met een accent zegt

Thank you so much for doing your research! I've seen so many video's about the Netherlands that talk about "fun fact's" "Need to know's" and "Weird things" but hardly any have actually done any research, which is really annoying. So thank you for making an accurate video :). And yes, Belgium is absolutely our little brother, like New Zealand is Australia's little brother.

Love Netherlands from Latvia 🇱🇻❤️🇳🇱

Hello, Geography Now! I'd like to say that you are so funny for people that speak dutch, the way you say Stroopwafel is hilarous. Imma continue the comment dutch 😁 Deze video was erg leuk, kan er heel veel van leren en het is zo grappig, echt de manier dat jullie nederlandse stad namen zeggen is zoo grappig. Veel respect voor jullie en ik hoop dat je 3 milljoen abonnees haalt!

I tried Stroopwafel and it tastes so good

I loved the video as a dutch person , not even my parents could explain it this well!

*Lives in the Netherlands* *Doesn’t live in Amsterdam* *Americans asking how’s that possible*

:o

@Fumuki foreigner you mean Americans 😂😂

Lmao I'm French and when you tell a foreigner you don't live in Paris they're gonna freeze for a couple of seconds wondering how it's possible

Amerikanen denken dat Holland een Land is 😂😂

laughs in sss and abc islands

fun fact: Canada also played a massive role in the liberation of the netherlands in WWII

I love the Netherlands. I’ve been listening to edm for years from all kind of genres and after realised that most of the djs and producers are Dutch, I just fell in love with the country lol. Die hard hardstyle fan here!

From Indonesia 🇮🇩 love you Nerdelands!

The netherlands is an amazing country - i love to live here!!!

Love Netherlands from Romania🇷🇴❤🇳🇱

Lol eindelijk een 95% correcte video. Keer een ander verhaal als "wiet, klompen, hagelslag en kaas". Heel veel mensen doen geen wiet en zowat niemand draagt klompen. Voor de rest wel trots op dit kleine landje.

Voetbal ook

Dan* idd mee eens

Ik droeg toen ik jong was (zo'n 10 jaar geleden) klompen en ik kom uit een dorp waar nog geen een boederij te vinden is. Niet de originele houten maar de houten klompen met leer enzo. Zat altijd best comfortabel hoor

Mike f haha idd

Feit

All I have to say is that Dutch people have to be proud of everything they have. I probably wouldn't have favorite country if there was no electronic music,especially Martin Garrix!

I live in Slovakia (eastern from Czechia and southern from Poland) and my mother's boyfriend was living for three years in Germany - Nord Rhein Vestdallen and in the district that was about 20 km from border with Netherland. When we've arrived there, we went only for trip in Netherlands, just few times in Germany 😃 simply beautiful Netherlands

Netherlands museums are really top notch, i also got one of those rabbit peluche in the airport in an adorable xmas outfits. greetings from italy.

Those old windmills were used for much more than just pumping out water! Sure most of them had that task but there were also mills used for sawing, making paper, flour, or even grinding the ingredients for gunpowder. For some mills it was even possible to swap out the tooling in order to change the task of the mill. These windmills were little factories, but people (like my great grandmother) actually lived in them.

The conclusion is so clear and efficient. I love it! 😄😆

Netherlands is the most beautiful country I’ve even been to 🇳🇱❤️ people there are so polite, and they always loved to help us find our destinations and all that stuff. I’ve also noticed that they are very open minded and they support every type of choice/lifestyle ❤️ I’ve been to Amsterdam twice and I’m going again this summer 😀 can’t wait 🙌🏼 Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 💙

Can’t wait to have you again! Have fun in our country!!

You can always visit the other parts to you know Limburg is very different from Amsterdam

Julian Beekhuis trust me, I’ve smelled a looot of weed, because we were always at the city center, but it didn’t bother me at all 😛😂 Also, my brother just came from his holidays in Amsterdam and I’d asked him to bring me some weed lollipop 🍭 😂😂😂 it was gross, but still cool 😎 😝

griekenland is ook erg leuk!

I live in the Netherlands and the weather is quite depressing😂

Got to visit there a few times, seeing cities such as Maastricht, Amsterdam and a really great place, 3 landes punt. As a South African learning Dutch, I really wanted to come here, my 8th country

One thing you probably should have pointed out about the relationship between Germany and the Netherlands is the similarity between Dutch and Low German. Low German is a minority language of northern Germany and the Netherlands, and is similar to both languages, sort of a mid-point on the West Germanic dialect continuum. They also have a shared history as both were formerly parts of the Holy Roman Empire and first areas to convert to Protestantism. Either way, cool video!

this guy explained stuff that probably 70% of the inhabitants here dont even know

or even explain!😂

This is an incredibly detailed summary of my country, well done!

As Indonesian I'm sad cuz Dutch didn't influence our height during colonialism 😔😔😔

Maybe because Indonesians forgot to consume dairy products and cycling that Dutch usually do

Netherlands is actually running a massive flood protection project in Bangladesh since the geography is kinda similar, thanks dutch guys

Geen probleem man 🌷🧀🚴‍♀️

Human Resources Maasvlakte 2 is peanuts compared to the origional Ijselmeer plan, and just create a polder for the entire markermeer and ijselmeer. However, you are talking about a 'minor' land extension project (in civil engineering terms) which is to boost export and keep our dominant harbour position in Europe. The revenue of that is way higher then that of new polder/farmland. Besides, maasvlakte 2 is not a polder so having to spend continuously money on pumping is not needed

@Terr y We actually did, we took land from the North Sea to extend our harbour. It's called the Maasvlakte 2. It's was opened in 2013 (and yes we also have a Maasvlakte 1, which we also took from the North Sea).

I am dutch / ik ben Nederlands

Otaku San your welcome 🙏🏻

You could have also mentioned that their East India Company (VOC, who also found that first stock exchange) can be labeled as the world's first megacorporation (like the ones in some of those dystopia fics); they got their own military, currency, their own system on their own! It eventually ended just before the 19th century. (I'm from Indonesia)

Also with the Netherlands and Canada: the Canadians liberated the Netherlands in WWII. I feel so proud to be of both countries (Canadian of Dutch descent)

@Martijn B I’m Dutch mate, i am merely stating facts. The plan was for the majority of free French/Americans to invade France and for the British Empire forces to invade the Benelux countries. Though some polish people were involved with the liberation of our country, the size of if was pretty small compared to the Empire and most people don’t mention it. The propaganda of the French works till thos day when they make it seem that they freed themselves, while the truth is that the Americans carried them and only allowed them to enter paris first after the Germans were mostly defeated for a symbolic victory and for propaganda. We Dutchies have never forgotten the sacrifices, especially the brave Canadians. And yes, it was a invasion. Sure it was a liberation in our pov, but in tactical terms it was still a invasion.

@GigaChadTheDemigod. I don't know about the French, but the Dutch don't consider the British, Canadian and Polish forces entering the country an invasion.

@Martijn B The Americans invaded France while the Canadians and Brits invaded the Benelux etc.

@Tuub Surely the Canadians and the Polish, as part of the British army, finally liberated the Netherlands as Montgomery's army held the Northern part of the front. But the Americans played role in the war in the air and their paratroopers played a large role in Marget-Garden.

@Daniel Van Mook Americans didn't play a big role in the Netherlands, they were more concerned with invading Germany. The Netherlands was mostly liberated by the UK and its colonies.

I love Holland, and I hope to visit it one day.

for a small country, the Netherlands produced so much oil paintings... portraits, landscapes and still lifes in particular

Out of all of the geography videos on this channel, this one is by far the most interesting.

Dutch people are tall because if the country floods they can still stick their head out of the water. Edit: Mom I'm famous!

:/

.

:o

Facts

:o

This was amazing, thank you. I loved the video as a Dutch person. It was super funny and accurate. Also your pronunciation is completely fine and enjoyable. You did forget about bicycles, that's kind of one of our main things.

the overall pronunciation was good but I have to say I flinched when you said Ijselmeer

IJsselmeer*

Yasilmir... I think he meant: Eiselmer.. That's how i would say it.

@MoonStars 99 Goed zo lol

potitishogun2961997 lekker

@MoonStars 99 lol Fair enough XD Btw hoe gaat ie :P

Love to Netherlands, from India🇮🇳🇳🇱

Thx

Absolutely loved this, brilliant job guys!

Thanks for the amazing video, I use it as an introduction video to my international students. And it was amazing to spot you guys in the waiting line in de Efteling this autumn :)

Sea:*exists* Netherlands: *ik ga deze man’s hele carrière eindigen*

en zoist Dat heeft de Lef om Brabant Holland te noemen boicotte die gozer

*beeindigen

@Koen Metekohy thank you :)

Oh oh je komt dichter in de plaats van weg te rennen kom je dichter

Ben je een boterham?

Gostaria Muito de conhecer esse lindo país.🙌🏾🥰

There is ANOTHER Dutch dialect spoken in Limburg and Noord-Brabant. Not everyone uses it but alot of people do. And things like Carnaval or the Oktoberfeesten or any other huge party thingies in Limburg and Noord Brabant. Its a sort of combi between German and Dutch

What is weird to me is that the dutch language has the intonation of American English... The few times I have visited if someone were speaking however not loud enough to hear exactly what was said I would often mistake them for Americans until I got closer haha

Some corrections: The animation for the provinces and the spoken names dont line up. Noord-Holland and Brabant (we dont call it Noord-Brabant) are switched. Nobody cares if you say Holland, its less syllables, maybe some country farmers will get upset, but generally its fine. You can pronounce Holland. You cant pronounce Nederland. Besides the tourist attractions mentioned we also have a lot of nature reserves that are unique in Europe. It's very easy to get around on a bike and we have tons of campsites. So, if you're looking for an affordable holiday in nature in Europe while never being more than a couple kilometers away from a supermarket you're in luck. We want to get more visitors who don't just go to Amsterdam. IJsselmeer is pronounced more like Aisselmeer than Jelsemeer. Pronunciation of the Dutch sayings was pretty good. Suriname recently found some huge oil fields and we let them have independence in 1973. So that story gets even better. I'm not even mad, I just hope they manage to keep most of the money and use it for good. "ietist" is supposed to be "ietsist". It means youre not religious but you believe in "something". I'm pretty sure our speedskating team does more steroids than the Russian team. Home birth reduces load on hospitals and there is always a qualified midwife present for the delivery. This is a very old tradition. Older than writing. Hospitals are also not very safe places for babies with weak immune systems, they are full of diseases. Clogs are still worn by people who work the earth, others wear high boots. Clogs are easier to clean and are more durable. Burgundy Hapsberg stuff isn't that confusing. Everyone spoke a form of Dutch from Groningen to Rijssel and Atrecht. Areas belonged to different factions at different times but they shared the language and a cultural identity. Leeuwenhoek is not pronounced as Luwenhoek but as Le:wenhoek. A long e sound, as in lake in English, is represented in Dutch by 'ee' or 'eeu' if its before a 'w', with more infection. Most people don't see Belgium as an extension anymore, but rather as a cousin that is a bit soft in the head. We do love them, as we love anyone who speaks our beautiful unique language. We just love to joke about recolonizing it. Would be for the best. And northern France as well, seeing as they just let it deteriorate for the past 200 years and we need land. It used to be a major industrial powerhouse. Look at it now. Overall there were fewer mistakes than I expected.

Ja super beledigend ‘t is al erg genoeg dat zullie Denken dat Nederland Holland heet maar deze Achterlijke Gladiool noemt Brabant Noord Holland ben beledigd as Brabander bennende

8:04 the loudness of the bleep probably hurt more people than the actual swear word 😂

Yeah that is fun and all but you didn't mention the most glorious Dutch invention **F R I K A N D E L B R O O D J E**

lekker

:)

Frikandelbroodje is iconic for dutch

hoe word je een nederlandse student: goedkope energy en frikandelbroodjes, thats it

Vincent's voices is like a robotic voice speaking backwards, especially when speaking Dutch.

Very interesting video. I actually learned a few things about my own country.

Limburg ( minor typo on the map in the first few minutes) :D That being said this is what I learned in school, during 12 years of schooling summarized in 1 video. Just a fact about Papiamentu, it's more like Portuguese (the way words are pronounced can sound like Portuguese), it has some Dutch words, but also has Spanish. The word gezellig is one of my favorites, while the basic translation in English is coziness, it falls short of what it really means, it is used in so many scenarios.
