Hello. Hola. Bonjour. Ni Hao. We all say things differently because each language has their own words. Like, duh. But what about how different languages think animals sound? We’re not exactly saying words as much as we are simply enunciating simple sounds and yet, different languages have their own take on each animal sound too.
The video asks people who speak English, Mandarin, French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Hindi, Japanese, Russian, Dutch, Bengali, Swahili, etc. how they think a dog, cat, rooster, cow and a pig sound and it’s surprising how different it can get. Mostly everybody agrees on what a cat sounds like but when it comes to roosters and pigs, it’s a crapshoot. Who’s most right? [Vimeo via The Awesomer]
