Many of the swedish words were wrong in that video.
These videos are often not fair. Every word can sound insane, if they are said the same way, as they do in German.

"säckväv"?? [editline]3rd October 2016[/editline] "nippel"???? [editline]3rd October 2016[/editline] ""shaver""" okay who translated these, literally google translate is more accurate than this
The Japanese one for nipple is wrong too.
Holy shit the pronounciation is fucking horrible. Here's an equally fair video. [video=youtube;zLvL7a8Y0pI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLvL7a8Y0pI[/video]
Meh, I know it's just a joke. But some of them are kinda unfair, and in the second half just wrong (on purpose I suppose) The first ones are kinda funny, especially as a german. For example Butterfly, which is Schmetterling, contains the word "Schmetter" like in "Zerschmettern" which means "to smash" which is a kinda funny name for such a small lovely insect, never really thought about this. Then there is stuff which made me curious, like Ambulance, because the german word "Ambulanz" does exist, but it's kinda old feeling, "Krankenwagen" which just means "Car for sick people" feels like a newer word. But then the second half starts and it's just plain wrong and stops being funny. Why is "regulation of property" which should be "Grundstücksregulierung" translated as "property-traffic-permit authority-transfer enactment" Or "traffic law" which should be "Verkehrsgesetz" suddenly becomes "traffic infrastructure funding association law" There are enough real strange long words in the german language, why make something up?
ugh these videos are shit you can scream any language and make it sound angry and ugly German is a very nice language
To be honest why waste your time on something so stupid when you could actually make something funny. Amiright
I'm a little bothered by the fact that they chose to represent Spanish with a Mexican flag.
[QUOTE=tisseman890;51144750]Every word can sound insane, if they are said the same way, as they do in German.[/QUOTE] Try shouting "Papillon" and "Schmetterling". German is still a very harsh language compared to the other ones in the video.
science should be called naturalwisdomcraft in english
