So we have to say you some sounds of C's a lot. Oh, oh you skipped off racers. I felt like that Yes, he's a sheep. Sabun a hot answer a common kissing in our under that's in God.
He's birthday was on the 24th Hello! In Korean, yes. There's two, yeah.
Which one should I use? One, two, three, one, two, three, four. One, two, three, one, two, three, four. One, two, three, one, two, three, four.
We do not. Yeah, it's confusing. But I think French has the most confusing language.
I heard that. I would say, I mean, my expectations of German, I never heard a German counting, but I feel like it does. Maybe pronunciation, if it has the sound, then it might be her.
Or Chinese. Chinese! Nah, we're good.
Chinese is real easy. And you can count with your hands on one hand. Yeah, this is so weird to me. In Spain we count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30!
You know how to count in Brazil we say Oh After it starts sounding like some samba or something. It sounded more defined. In the UK we say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Don't forget to breathe. I did.
So in Mandarin we say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Got it! Two-thirty? I felt like you skipped halfway through.
Yes! I felt like that too! One to twenty is a little bit different, but once you hit to the thirties, forties, and fifties, you're just using...
Yeah, and then you're just adding one, two, three at the end. That's why it's easier to count that way. So in Cantonese, we say It's like, yam yalok, yata yaba yaga.
But usually a lot of people say yisab yat, like twenty one, but if you kind of get too lazy, we just say like yaya, which is like two one. Is it Dutch? It is very slang. You say it was easy, why are you complicating? Nah, like it's easy because it's slang.
You don't have another word to say like twenty. Just say two one, two three two. If you want to learn formally, it's hard, but if you learn slang, it's like way. faster and easier easier for bargaining in indonesian it's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 oh wait i'm using the slang version 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 but as the same with cantonese you can just say 21 like 2 1 instead of 21. wait what one more time i've never met another language like that's the most difficult one.
No, it's easy! In Korean, we say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. And... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 We do have two! 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 28, 29, 30 We got it.
Oh we have two different times. Yeah, I did just say 다여 We just say it like blank 다여 일본은 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30! Wow!
And there are other kinds of triangle kimbap. There are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but there are no 30 kinds. Okay, I'll do it in German.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22... 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. I was getting into it towards the end, yeah. I was like, okay. That sounds difficult.
I don't think I can repeat. I like that they have a number that's called elf. 11. It's my favorite number from now on.
I love elf. Oh my God. French is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29...
For me that was way much easier. No, that sounds so hard. It was like all the same. Anybody else 4 is unlucky?
I heard in Korea, yeah yeah yeah. Yeah, 4 is like So that's why they say 4 differently these days. There's 1, 2, 3, 4, and 1, 2, 3, 4. There are 1, 2, 3, 4 numbers, but they say 4. 4 and C.
Dead. Oh. Any kind of numbers that you can kind of choose if you have that option. Most Chinese people, doesn't matter which part of China, like Taiwan, Hong Kong, like everybody's like minimize the 4s, especially for cars. So for people who've never been to Asia and don't understand the 4 being a bad number, usually in the elevator it either says F, or they can straight up skip the floor number and just go from 3 to 5. I worked at a karaoke place that was owned by by Chinese people but it's like Japanese style.
You just skip all of the floor 40s? Oh yeah, 40 is non-existent. 4 is my favorite number.
Oh yes! In Brazil, we have other two different numbers. So the most known as unlucky number would be 13. Same. Yeah, but we also have 7. It goes in different ways. So there's people who think the opposite.
Like, oh, it's a God's number because it's like infinite number or something. And there's people who say like, no, 7 is an unlucky number. So you're gonna hear both.
There are 3 Japanese people who are unlucky. At 4.44pm, if you go to the bathroom at school, ghosts will appear. The letter means death.
It means death in Chinese characters. So, there's that. Okay, so it's not a really lucky and unlucky number. It's just like a number that we try not to use in Brazil. Because it's technically the deer number.
The animal deer means anybody who's gay. So, nowadays, people don't really care as much. But like...
I remember when I was growing up whenever there was a guy that was like his birthday wasn't the 24th. Everybody's like So it's a number that a lot of people still in Brazil they're like I'm not 24 years old I'm 25 plus a less one Isn't there in China like a code for I love you which numbers Oh, he said he's forever and ever kind of interesting Similar, similar. Like the shape of it looks like pepero. 55,555. Oh, that's pretty.
55,555. Wow. Sounds very beautiful.
Sounds like a sentence. In Portuguese, in Brazil, we say 55,555. In English, we say 55,555.
So in Mandarin, we say, there's two ways you can say it. 55,555. Or if you want to just not be so slangy, you got 55,555 So it's either you separate by three digits or four digits Yeah, it makes it a little bit easier In Indonesian, it would be lima puluh lima ribu, lima ratus, lima puluh lima So lima is like five Lima is five Okay, got it, got it In Korean, that's uman otton obyek wesibo I like how it sounds The thing is the difference is that Koreans, they also like have the division like not by thousands But like by ten thousands So confusing So confusing This is why I get confused I think it's in Chinese because it's right.
Japanese is 55,555. It's similar to Korean. 55,555.
55,555. 5 is 5. In German it's 55,555. Basically the exact translation from English. It's 55, not 50 and 5. It's 5 and 50. Oops.
Never mind. I think you both sound very 55,555 because of the English. Yeah. So in French we say 55,555 Huh?
Oh okay, got it got it Oh, got it! 70 In Brazil we say 70 In the UK we say 70 In Mandarin we say 70 Or in Cantonese we say 70 In Indonesian it's 70 In Korean 70 In Japanese it's 70 Zip! In French we say 70 Okay So 60 plus 10 60 plus 10 Oh, what? So it's just soixante plus ten.
What's eighty? Quatre fois vingt. Four times twenty.
Yeah, four times. Four twenty? It's a really weird four, by the way.
Yeah, sorry. Because I'm tall, so... I mean, if you want to learn math, make simple math. Sixty plus ten, seventy.
Sixty plus twenty, eighty. Okay, I get it. That's what scares me the most in French, I'm not gonna lie.
I didn't know I have to think about it. Because for me, it's... It was pretty normal. When we talk about that... It's divided.
Same as Korean! Yeah, same as Korean. She was like, wait.
What about 90? I want to know 90. It's the same. 90 is the same as this kind of... So 60 plus 30? No, no.
It's... It gets worse because we have to say 4 times 20 plus 10. From its logic. Wait, so it's 40 times 20 plus 10?
Yes, because 80 is not just 80, it's 4 times 20. So it's 4 times 20 plus 10. Oh thank god we didn't have to say that. French. That's the whole equation if you write it all down.
So how do you say 90? 90. It's this number plus 10. So you literally say Ford 2010. Oh! You're right. That's beautiful.
In French we don't say 90, we say 4 x 20 plus 10 But I guess if you just take it as like just the name of the number Don't think of it as math How do you say 100? I think 100 has its own name Yeah right? It's not gonna be like 4 x 20 plus 10 plus 10 right? Isn't it 5 x 20 then?
5 x 20 wait it's less small It's so Okay okay We have the sense like saying like If we hear cent, we understand that it's like a hundred because it comes from the Latin language. Yeah. She was talking about the fact that century comes like 100 years and she's like, oh that's why century. Maybe that comes from Latin.
The fun part about Chinese, I don't really think it's fun actually. We have to write our numbers in our actual language as well, like in our characters, because most people just write like one, two, three, right? Let's go up to five, right? So then when we write one, one, two, three, 3 Sexy West Japanese Yes But like 6 you kinda go like that 7, 8, 9, and then my favorite 10 We don't write it in Chinese letters though But we do learn in elementary school So we do know the 1 to 10 And I think we write in numbers Usually people use this one one for more like formal documents and stuff even in like books so like especially history books they would write it like the full year so you're just adding like the 10 in front so then if you want to do like 20 it's still like which gives you 20 yeah so if you want to write like more stuff you just kind of add on the plus and then like three so then you have like 33 without the plus it's not a plus it's a 10 yeah so it looks like a plus sign but we're actually saying 33 like yes 3, 10, 3. But yeah, have fun with it.
I vote French. I vote French. French. I think it's like Korean, like the two, like you could learn the numbers, but then after you have to know when to use it, like minutes-wise, hour-wise, or like your age, and then that's when it's confused.
I think the same goes for Japanese, so like, because depending if you're talking about people, if you're talking about a wide object, if you're talking about a thin object, the counting is going to be completely different. Because like at least in Korean we use one counting and the counting measurement. In Japanese it's another number. So that's what makes it hard too.
And from French it would be like only the bigger numbers. So that's the hard part but at the same time like having to remember all of the countings it's the hard part for Korean and Japanese. Yeah. I think French would actually be easier than I thought.
Because seeing how you were even surprised that these were actual calculations. Because you just it's just numbers for you. It's just the name of the number. So I think if we look at it that way, instead of the math and where the origin of the word is from, it would be easier to learn and not as daunting.
Two times 20 plus 10. Like, wait. And pronunciation-wise, I'm surprised that German was actually okay for me. It seems so similar to English. I was like, okay, it's not that bad. It's really similar.
