the world and one of the amazing things. about the English language first of all. you know it is frustrating it violates. lots of rules it has madeup rules that. don't really exist and you're talking. grammar here it's not phonetic no I'm. talking about the the spelling is. confusing and if you're trying to learn. English it's really frustrating I before. E except after C I know that because. when I learned English at age 12 a lot. of people don't know this is that I was. born in Germany and I speak fluent. German and then I that's a joke that's a. joke yeah because I was about to say. okay speak a little German to the folks.

at home I was born in Georgia and I mean. you know Georgia not Georgia. so and uh but we got all these words for. things like how many words are there for. big do you know how many words there are. for big can you name some of them uh. huge yep gargantuan what huh large yep. keep going largish. no and that's it well there's a lot I. don't know how many there are but. there's a lot of words for big where. there are some languages where. something's big is just big might be.

really big but it's just big good. gordish we got lots of words for lots of. things but do you know what there are. some words that come from other. languages that we should adopt into our. language because these are words for. things that you will understand you will. relate to but we don't have words for. them we don't have a word for it yeah. and but other countries and languages do. yeah yeah various other countries and. languages now uh give credit to the. week.com we got this list from the. week.com.

and uh we're just going to be reading it. talking about it are you ready okay and. learning from it believe it or not this. first one comes from Georgia the. country uh and it is shamama jamo and. this is the what shamama jamo shamama. shamama. jamo yep shamama jamo uh this is for. when you are really full you're eating. you're really full but you're enjoying. what you're eating so much that you. cannot stop and you you just continue.

eating it actually literally means I. accidentally ate the whole thing it's. like every time I visit my nanny's house. she fries that chicken oh yeah she does. my gosh I usually don't eat more than. like a leg in a thug cuz I'm a dark meat. man but when I go to Nanny's house I a. leg in a thigh and a breast and a wing. and give me another Wing give me another. breast and a thigh like a whole half. chicken oh gosh I remember she puts it. she like she puts it out on like a thing. with a paper towel oh gosh yes oh I used. to go there Crunchies man she's good. homemade biscuits a mama jamo Nanny.

let's move her a mama J let let's move. Nanny out here you know what she can. live here she can live in the studio and. just fry chicken all the time sounds. demeaning plenty from Ghana uh this is. the word for moving hot food around in. your mouth this is like what okay you. take a bite of pizza and it's too hot. and you're like ah I do that all the. time pen you don't want to burn your.

tongue. pen cuz you you're trying to protect. your tongue it's instinctive but we have. no word for that we do now Ghana give it. up uh the third word we don't have to. give it up just share it the third word. from this is the Tagalog language uh Le. Australia I'm sorry really leoen this is. for the phenomenon when something looks. good from a distance and then when you. get close you're like uh you know it's. like the difference between you're in. high school you see a girl and you're. like M and you get close and you're like.

you know it's it's a slight difference. between and you know what I mean I do. know what you mean I speak the grunt. language Leo so is that a verb or a noun. or leoen Le ogenic I think that's an. adjective link something is. leoen be an adverb yeah yeah hopefully. your girlfriend is not leoen you know. that kind of. situation uh all right number four.

this is from the. SAA tribe in South Africa uh this means. to sleep on the floor without a mat. while drunk and. naked it's called passing. out I I think this legitimizes P. legitimize his passing out a little too. much giving it a term well it this must. happen a lot in in South Africa if. there's a word for it you know our. friend Greg lives in South Africa gu. he's reading we should call him ask him. if he's been he's ring so cute all over.

himself it's not disgraceful anymore. okay this is another one from uh Georgia. the country and I got to say this is one. of the most useful in this entire list Z. it means the day after tomorrow we have. you thought about this we don't have a. day we don't have a name for the day. after tomorrow in fact we have a movie. called The Day After Tomorrow it could. just been called Z part one I wonder if. when they released it in Georgia if they. did call it zag you going to see zag. tomorrow Z are you going to see zag on Z. it the beauty it's not it's not only.

just a word for something we don't have. but it's only three letters it's it's. great yeah and it's like a nickname Z. I'm going to name my next child that. yeah and it would be looking towards the. future always um that's a good one you. know sometimes someday never. comes ask Alan. Jackson that really the name of that. song I think so pag this is a Norwegian. word uh it is a non-specific descriptor.

for anything you might consider putting. into a. sandwich okay I've never been making a. sandwich and thought to myself I need a. non-descriptive term for what I'm. putting in need a ball egg I don't care. what it is I want it in a sandwich as. long as I can fit it in the. sandwich I think it's a great term. because I'm frustrated by the process of. ordering sandwiches at places where you. have to like spe Subway you have to. specify the ingredients everybody gets. excited about making choices about. things I just make my sandwich until you.

have to make the choice I want to point. at the picture and then I want you to. make the sandwich I'm not picky like. some people you know put whatever sauce. on there pag it up I don't care just pag. my sandwich and then let me get it. you're right go to Subway and just point. at a picture on the menu and say I want. that and it will blow their minds y they. they'll still ask you every single thing. you want green peppers yeah they will. you want lettuce I've experimented with. with this what kind of sauce you want I.

just make it like the this the the menu. po it. up okay uh this is a Swedish term Lum uh. which means not too much and not too. little but just right Goldilocks my. beard Lum no I would I would agree with. the people commenting a little too much. every day a little bit more too much I. will say that my wife said last night. she said I think it might be time to. trim the beard I said really I was just. waiting for the I was waiting for the.

green light from you baby so I'm going. to give it another you know it's. starting to go into my mouth I'm. starting to taste things that were on. the beard earlier you're chewing your p. and and you get your uh your mustache in. there I will trim it it's not legome it. I got to trim it a little bit here okay. another incredibly useful one that. sounds like an English word tartle this. is a Scottish word or I Scots I guess. that's like a dialect in Scotland is. that like a semi sour Turtle uh nope. this is the panicky hesitation you get.

just before you have to introduce. someone whose name you can't quite. remember and this happens to me on a. regular happens to everybody on a. regular basis but it happened to me this. past weekend when two of my friends came. up and I couldn't one was more of an. acquaintance and one was a friend and I. was like who okay whoa I'm tling here. what am I going to do am I going to say. Hey you meet you or am I and for some. reason I tled for a second and then I. remember the names and I went in and I. said both names um well I think the the. great thing about this term is that now.

you have an excuse now I know what to. say when I don't remember their names. it's like hey Jim. meet look at me I'm tling you know and. it just totally diffuses the situation. no it doesn't it makes it worse you. don't admit it when you're tling you. tartle in your mind you don't tartle in. public unless you're going to unless you. call it Tarling in Jaan I'm sorry I just. tartle they speak Japanese and they have. a word coo yoken it's a phrase actually. that means the sense of upon first. meeting a person that the two of you are.

going to fall in. love cooin so not love at first. sight this is just a sense that you're. going to fall in love I believe I had. coo yoken with my. wife which kind of makes it sound like. before wedlock it means it means. something else we had a little kokin and. then it led to a little more kokin and. then it led to children no it just means. the sense that you're going to fall in. love with somebody I had that I had that. though I remember the first time I saw. her.

I'm coino yoking. you now she's running marathons dressed. as Tinkerbell and all right this one is. from the yagan language of Tiara Del fuo. I love that language nothing beats the. yagan language. m. m lots of. syllables uh this is the special look. shared between two people when both are. wishing that the other would do. something that they both want but. neither want to do.

you know I'm nether we both know. something should be done and we want. somebody to do it but neither one of us. want to do it so we look at each other. and we make that face we're. like like like I'm freezing you're. freezing but I don't want to turn that. heater on over there well no it's. something like it's something that you. you know like we're being attacked you. know oh like look at that bear coming at. us I don't want I don't want to but one. of us do something with the bear I don't. want to coin a Yol in the. bear don't coino y in the bear so maybe.

we should M the. bear all right this is a good one friend. Shaman this is a German word uh this is. sounds like two words this is akin to. Vicarious embarrassment the feeling you. get when you're watching somebody make a. fool of themselves and you feel sorry. for him you're feeling you're like I'm. I'm embarrassed because this guy's. making such a fool of himself oh I feel. that way around you all the time I guess. it's called f Shaman F Shaman caoon this. is one that you could I'm embarrassed. for you that's good this is one you.
