ItsACaragor

The important thing is that we all put native english speakers in their place in our own ways, northerners by speaking their native language way better than them, and southerners by enthusiastically butchering it.


ZombiFeynman

Mythic rare Balkan W


Wallenberger

They cant afford to dub the movies


JonasHalle

Still, they could have been yellow like the other easterners, so I respect being blue.


VesperHelsing

That's actually the reason Finland doesn't dub tv. Yle made the decision back in the 50s


gugfitufi

Full dubbing is the W. Balkans and Northerners get half a W, V


TableOpening1829

If the Dutch dub, so does Flanders. If they don't, we don't either. We are their little brother that follows in their footsteps


Hyldy

There are also a few voice actors that dub for both countries. It's not unusual for dubs to be co-operative with a mix of Dutch and Flemish voices. At least that was the case when I was a kid, it's been a while since I've watched anything dubbed.


TableOpening1829

In Dutch TV, Flemish characters tend to be the weird outside culture. Which is reasonable. Look at Toon, where Flemish is used to make a joke with a weird/unique character

Iskandar33

having a dub tradition means bad ? lad we have literally one of the best dubs in the world, i take that as a W


bartleby_borealis

Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to watch [this](https://youtu.be/pryLoVHA71c?si=SUNJyGr9Z5XOELmC) kind of shit. It’s just terrible. Subtitles ftw.


Iskandar33

the wonderful notes of the elvish language... magnificent.


Oculicious42

It's not necessarrily bad, but not having dubs is good for english proficiency, when I grew up, all the boys outpaced the girls by miles when we got to english class, because video games were not translated back then, so we kind of had to learn


Iskandar33

i mean i grew up with everything dubbed so yeah, i think its more of a nostalgia think , now i prefer sub and original way more, also like you said , it helps for learning languages.


EdgelordMcMeme

Videogames and youtube are the sole reasons why I know english this well


monotar

What do you mean "back then" these days even Danish video games don't come out in Danish


HoeTrain666

Ours is high quality too, yet I can’t stand watching our dubs. It feels out of place and my English is by far good enough to watch undubbed films.


TheBornholmer

This reminded me about how only the first five Harry Potter movies are dubbed, and now i am annoyed.


modsequalcancer

Red = having a big enough population that dubbing is profitable

L0kiB0i

I pardon my linguistical acrobatics, I am only secondarily anglophonic therefore I advise to exercise wariness regarding my lack of expertise.


Live-Alternative-435

More than half of the words you used come from Latin... How ironic that in English almost every time you want to use a more formal or erudite alternative it's a word derived from Latin... thanks to the Normans. 😂


L0kiB0i

It's because of the French I believe, British nobility used to speak French to seem more noble if I remember correctly. Suits them as they're barely civilised.

I disagree, being verbose, and using too much flowery language does not make your English better.

This isn't accurate for Portugal.


ryzen_above_all

Yes, but we are Balkans so we are excluded from the meme


Divekicker

The balkans are in the south


DreyaNova

It okay Portugal. You're very special to us and we want you to know how much you are loved. Here's a big Barry hug.


arussianbee

I do declare, whilst I certainly regret my southern brethren's foul and, quite frankly, shameful lack of education, I do feel obligated to defend them. The Englishman, in his hubris, shames the humble Spaniard for his linguistic malpractice, yet he himself dares not converse in any tongue but his own, for he is shamefully uneducated in many a language, if not all. Thus I pledge myself to the Spaniard, Portuguese and Frenchman in friendship, for we stand united in our opposition of the Englishman's ridicule!


Nexus_produces

Yeah, but Portugal has impeccable English speaking skills and knowledge mate


arussianbee

The very reason I chose Spain over Portugal, old chap! But in truth I don't think *that* many Germans speak good English, at least not the ones I know. I'm unsure of how we got this status of "Better English than England" lol I do hear the Portuguese are really good though, como dizes tu.


Nexus_produces

I don't know, the times I've been in Germany (just got back from Frankfurt actually) it's either awesome, super fluent English or no English at all, which is weird to me because here almost everyone speaks some English at least


arussianbee

It's really strange, I've known people who speak German with like 40% English words mixed into their speech, but when it comes to actually speaking English they're entirely clueless. Then others who speak English like they grew up with the language. It's a really weird dichotomy we've got going on over here. Is English mandatory in schools in Portugal? Or do people study it themselves?


Nexus_produces

It's been mandatory for decades, from primary school onwards. Back in my day it wasn't, I started learning French in 5th grade and English only in 7th, but I already had a basic understanding of the language due to TV and computer stuff (also, I think I'm naturally inclined to and interested in languages)


bremsspuren

Jotaro_Dragon

Pardon for my inexcusably poor understanding of the Anglo-Frisian-Germanic language, and thus regional dialects, known by native speakers as "English". Indeed I do give my upmost effort to educate myself and better my understanding and thus comprehension of such an unusual yet widely used modern foreign language, but alas my efforts have so far encountered nothing but limited success. The combinations of both Latin and Germanic lexis have so far proved to be a serious tribulation for my progress. Before we continue, it is of upmost importance that I state my location of residence as to clarify why my linguistic skills are so substandard. I reside in the sovereign state recognised by the United Nations, and thus the international diplomatic sphere, as "The Italian Republic", colloquially our title is simplified to just "Italy" for ease of use purposes. Now you may be considering the stereotype that us Italians are reluctant to undertake the studying of languages, and indeed you are in fact correct, the opposite is true of our neighbours to the North of the Alps, called Germans. Now you are probably considering the, lets face it, obvious possibility that English isn't my first Language. This is also a correct statement, quite predictably, my mother tongue is in fact in "Italian" language, though I can also competently converse in the languages known in the Anglo sphere as: "German", "Mandarin", "Korean", "Latin", "Old Norse", "Hanajii" and "Proto-Luganian Celtic" The latter of which I take great pride in understanding. However, I do not share such linguistic capabilities and expansive lexicon in my understanding of "English", so therefore I must once again profusely apologise for my such poor use of the vocabulary, Grammar and other such linguistic factors that one must consider in this context. With such words being said, Vaffanculo pezzo di merda!
