Other Here Features and What to Know

La. Good morning. Bonjour. Today we're going to do to run a very interesting experiment with these two handsome guys here to my left and to my right. There. And this. And they speak we all speak different languages. I speak Italian, he speaks X, he speaks Y. You'll have to figure it out on the go. But most of all we have to figure out each other's language. Meaning how each other language works. So, what is this experiment about? Well, you're going to see it in a second, but he's the one who's going to start. He's going to be speaking his own language and we're going to have different levels of difficulty. So, let's start with the

easy situation and then we're going to move on. So, each and every one of us is going to speak their own native language. Actually, I'm not going to speak Italian because they both speak Italian quite well. I'm going to be using another language that I know well and they will have to figure out what I say. Other, this. Other for that is an astronaut. What do you think? So, the first word I think that I heard is a other or other. Maybe it means like this, that, or like what he has Okay, correct. Right. Okay, and the next word. For that. These are two The second word is two uh words. So,

Other. Correct. This. Other for that. This is an astronaut. It's Polish. He knows he hears me Polish every day. Piłka to piłka. Remember that, okay? So, what object do you have? What? I am the object. No, I have something. I'm I'm Um okay, let me try. Uh aszwiek, okay. There's something French in there, right? I shove cheval aszwiek cavallo Okay, cavallo, see. cavallo Wait, is this cavallo is it we because we always speak Italian so sometimes This is what happened. So, this is a knight or horse? a what I said, I mean this is a chess piece which is knight, but the word I said in Singani is a um horse. horse A horse, yeah, aszwiek. So, it's the animal, aszwiek. aszwiek Okay. So,

as you've seen, uh it's if you point to um an object and you talk about it, right? And you say this is it's not that difficult to understand. We even figure out a compound word, a word made with in This was pretty clever. Now, though, it's going to get a little bit more complicated because with that very object we're going to you're going to describe something, right? That that object is doing and we have to figure out now the subject, maybe the verb, it's transitive and transitive, does it have an object, etc. Always using the same objects that we have, right? So, we got to use the astronaut, I'm going to use

the ball, he's going to use the Okay. the cheval, um the horse. horse We speak too many languages, it's getting confusing. Okay, um It's pure intuition, right? Cuz I don't Yeah, I didn't get any I couldn't see any gestures that could help me to interpret what he's saying. So, there are some gestures? Well, okay. the thing is, if you want to for us to understand, you can repeat the same sentence over and over. We're not going to understand unless you give us some clues, right? You have to make some gestures or you have to make it do something so that we can understand.

Uh-oh. I was actually thinking about something else, but that's okay. Okay, shake waves the hand. With his left hand. Okay, with the right one. I see you're worse. Okay. I You know, I was about to say something but then I thought, okay.

Okay, let me Okay, let me help you out with some gestures, okay? Okay, the astronaut, yes. Not. Doesn't. La. Okay, drinks. Okay. Does not Okay. Does not drink. Can you Can I use another object? Yeah, of course. Oh, okay. We have a lot of stuff here. Oh. Okay. [snorts] The astronaut Um minel kubi um do you have any idea? Um in the space No, the astronaut can't drink space in the water in the space.

Um Raises the glass. From the water from the hand. From the glass. So, the water from the glass. Exactly. Does not drink water from the glass. Okay. Ah, okay. Well, this is an interesting thing. Okay, say it again. La. La, doesn't? Does not. Drinks. Yeshrobu. Okay. Water. From the glass. Is cup. Ah, kub. So, minel kub is from the glass. Yeah. Minel kubi. Kubi is it? Say it again. What is glass? If you want. glass? Kess. Kessa I would prefer kess. So, say the entire sentence again.

Minel kess. Okay. Kubi or kessi. Okay. Pretty interesting pretty structure. Thank you. Okay. Abdel, now it's my turn. You remember guys piouka? Yes. Piouka. Looks like an ant. Piouka with gas and water. Piou piouka. Okay. P-U-K-A. Simpler. I hold ball fingers? No. Palm? The ball is inside my hand. I hold. Okay. I hold in my hand. So, say it again. Yeah. I hold the ball in my hand. Yes. That's great. What did you understand? So, my question is renka hand So, what do you understand? Why do I say renka and why I

say vrence? What changed? Renka rence. Renka is hand. If you don't know Slavic words, it's probably difficult for you to understand this concept, but you can tell the renka rence have something similar have something in common, right? Mhm. to renka vrence So, it's the same word, but it changes its form. Okay. Does it make sense? Renka vrence. vrence So, renka is hand. Vrence is hold. No, is hands from hands. in the hand Ah. in hand in the hand in my hand, right? Okay, vrence. V means in. vrence Ah, this is difficult to say. Berlin

Okay, v. Okay. V [clears throat] is in. V is in. So, v is in. Vrence. renk renka vrenka vrence This is because Polish is difficult and changes sometimes even the renka vrence So, renka is hand. Vrence is in the Yes, that's exactly right. So, you understood that the sentence, but you also starting understanding. Okay, and this to pilka But I ja trzymam pilke. So, I trzymam I pilke. pilke Changes the end, right? It's a Why is that? Because pilka is the subject. For example, to pilka or pilka jest piekna, which means the ball is beautiful. It's a subject, but if I hold a ball, it's an object and it changes like Latin, you know?

It's like it changes the So, all right. So, do you remember the name uh in Sinhalese? Shwetha? No. Shwaya? You got the shwaya. Ashwam. Ashwaya. Ashwaya is a Ashwaya. Horse. Okay. Ashwaya. And if you want to say the horse, it would be ashwaya. Okay. Ashwaya. Yeah. So, now we are moving to the definite article because now we introduce Ashwaya. Yeah. The horse now is the horse because there's only one here.

Ashwaya. Right? Ashwaya. Okay. Ashwaya is just horse. Yeah. Ashwaya is with the article. Yeah. The horse. Ashwaya. Okay. Now, for the second part, I would need uh the cup, please. Sure. So, Can I get my cup? Here's my cup. I don't know what's going to happen. So, I'm going to see. So, you have the horse and the cup of water. And I would try to show you. Ashwaya. Mhm. Wathura bonawa. Say it again. Ashwaya. Wathura bonawa. It's easy. Ashwaya. The horse is drinking water. Exactly. Say it again. Ashwaya. Wathura.

Wathura. means drinks. Yeah. And wathura is the water. Uh-huh. Bonawa. Mhm. So, it comes the object first. First the object. no. The No, no. The No, no, no. I mean, it's actually subject-verb-object. No, no, no. He said the verb as last one. Say it again. No, no. He said is the last. Yeah. He said the verb. You're right. Yeah. Wathura bonawa. Bonawa is drink. Yeah. Drinks. Okay. So, wathura is water. Wathura. Ashwaya. Wathura. Okay. Wait a second. So, it's it's the horse water drinks. Exactly.

However, say it again. What's say water? Vatura. In this case, how do you say the water is cold? Vatura. So, it's the same. Hitalai. Uh Say it again. Drinks? Bonava. How do you say I drink? Mama bonava. Okay. I. Okay. So, Now, we get to the uh last boss. Oh, the final boss. Yeah. Okay. Uh so, you remember um the first and the second level, right? So, it was So, you remember Yes, the answer is that cannot drink doesn't drink water from the Uh The glass. Okay. Of course, towards I'm talking in Arabic. Might be three or less in different levels. Does he not Say it again. What is it? Be se be bi? Sababi.

Uh-huh. Okay. So, if you use comprehensive Comprehensible input, yeah. Yeah? You should be able to get this. By intuition, maybe because as you said it, okay. So, first of all, I speak a little bit of Turkish, and in Turkish, sababi means the reason is. Oh. So, I guess that you say so, therefore, or and the reason is, right? However, if you give us already context, I'm thinking he cannot drink water because he's in space. Is it possible? Very close. Okay. Very close. he's not Say it again. Wait. Maybe I Bisabab E. The reason is Al jaathibiyyah.

What do you have in mind? Do you have anything in mind? He's not on Earth. Mhm. Oh. Al jaathibiyyah. Because the water floats in space. I don't Because there's no water in space. Water floats in space. That is like cool Water does not float. Why does it float? Because there's no gravity. Okay. Bisabab E. So, the reason is because Bisabab E. I would have said Adam. Mhm. Adam. Okay. Uh wujud al jaathibiyyah, which means the lack of gravity. Okay. Mhm. Because al jaathibiyyah means gravity.

Adam wujud like not existence or lack of Okay. gravity. So, Raa'id ul fadhaa' laa yashrab maa' min al laa yashrab maa' min um al kub aw min al ka's E. Bisabab E. Adam wujud al jaathibiyyah aw bisabab uh Adam wujud al jaathibiyyah, you see. Okay. That was a mouthful. Thank you. Right. That was a mouthful. This Again, this is okay, repetition of the word. This was Ashway Ashwaya Ashwayak is just horse. A horse, yeah. Ashwaya boo Uh water is I'm allowed to curse. something. But we don't have to remember that.

Matoora drinks. boon awa Ah, matoora boon awa. Ashwaya Okay, so I'm going to add two more words. Not too complicated. Asv atura bonava tibaha nisap. Mhm. Wow. Like this we would never get it. This is like biological. Yeah, so thirst Yeah, yeah, okay. Okay, thirst Okay. So because he's thirsty Exactly, yeah. Say it again. Asv atura bonava tibaha nisap. So tibahani means because? Tibaha. So is tibaha is one word. Nisa is the other word. Tibaha means because.

No, tibaha means the thirst. Ah, the thirst. Okay. Thirst. Quenches him. Tibaha nisa. So nisa is because? Exactly. the horse drinks water thirst thirsty because Exactly, yeah. It's like Germanese. the horse water drinks thirst because yeah, you can even put the thirst because to the beginning of the sentence and then say the rest. Tibaha nisa asv atura bonava. Tibaha nisa. Tibaha is thirst. Thirst, yeah. Tibaha is thirst. Thirst, exactly. How do you say I'm thirsty? Mata tibahai.

Like to me. Okay. Thirst. Mata tibahai. Tibahani. Ti Tibaha nisa asv atura bonava. Tibaha nisa. Tibaha. Okay. Nisa is because. Yeah. Okay, tibaha nisa. Ya tsumam. Ya teras. Ya teras. Tsumam. Pew ker frense. Ah. Pony evash bo mishle zhe tap I know the last part. Because you hear it all the time. Okay, the word piękna. I'll explain one day. What do you have to edit here? Okay, so we have to figure out. So, ja trzymam piłkę w ręce. This part you have it, right?

Myślę, myślę. Because Kartezjo, na przykład myślę. No, myślę. Ja myślę. Myślę że, myślę że ta piłka jest bardzo piękna. Wow. Okay, I'm holding on to the ball because it's very beautiful. Ja myślę. You're getting very close, but you're missing one thing. I think Because I think ja myślę. Because I think it's it's very beautiful. that myślę że it's very że ta piłka that this ball is very beautiful. Okay. What's beautiful? Piękna. Ta piłka. Okay, say Okay, can you say Bardzo piękna. But say it slowly, but step by step. So, Okay, ja.

Trzymam. Piłkę. Ja trzymam piłkę. W ręce. W ręce in my hands. Bo. Myślę. Because I think Because myślę że Because I think myślę ta piłka Because I think this ta piłka Jest. Jest is Jest bardzo piękna. Very beautiful. Bardzo piękna. Okay? Okay, now this was level three, which is still So, this is level three, but we have a level four on four We didn't plan that. The level four We haven't discussed this. Uh Okay. That's okay. All right. I guess you did not understand much, right? No, no, no. So, is this comprehensible input for you? If I talk to you all day like this, would you understand? No, absolutely not. If you watched television, Polish

television, even with subtitles like that, would you understand? I don't think so. Yes, so that Or at least not in the first uh Not at this level. Okay, so you can do the same with us. Then he does it, okay? I got it. You have a big passion for this asteroid and you want to take it home. No, absolutely not. Okay, I was just uh I was processing the Okay. Uh maybe he's explaining the um string theory. Yeah, okay.

This is very interesting because I just said exactly almost exactly the same thing that I have said so far. Okay. Up to this moment. Well, you didn't understand it, that's fine. But the way that I said it, like you said, no? Without any Yes. uh I need to say Any cues? Any cues, exactly. Cues, cues, cues, cues. Yeah, okay. And now Okay. That's the master. No. Um oil water Okay, I will say that the horse, uh, since he gallops a lot, right? He runs a lot. He gets thirsty. That's why he needs to drink water at some point. Or he walks a lot. You have some idea? The horse was very sad because he lost his ball, and he was trying to find it all day. So, he was very tired, and because of the thirst, he was drinking water. Oh.

Amazing. But the point is So, here's here's the thing. Um if you speak like this, you're not going to understand. If you speak If I speak Italian to someone who doesn't understand Italian, they're not going to understand. If you speak Arabic this way, if you speak Sinhalese this way, you do not understand. What's the point of this video? It's to show you that it's possible to learn a language through comprehensible input, but at the same time, you have to know how to do it. It takes a long time, and you can use other, for example, instruments. He could have explained this in Italian, which is a common language, we could have seen a text, etc., etc. So, the bottom line is this was a an experiment. Um

we hoped you liked it. I think it was fun.
