@Langfocusمنذ 4 سنوات I hope you like the new video! If you are wondering about my sources for the video, one of them is a book called "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" id="hidden1" class="buttons"> by Michael Macrone (see it here: US - , UK - ). The other is the Encyclopedia of the English Language by the legendary David Crystal (See it here: US - , UK - ).

@parallaxnick637منذ 4 سنوات My all time favourite Shakespearean word story is "weird". "Weird" means "fate." It has always meant "fate," going id="hidden2" class="buttons"> back to Anglo-Saxon. When MacBeth addresses the three witches as "weird sisters", he is comparing them to the three fates from Greek mythology, not describing them as strange or unearthly. But because the dialog leading up to the confrontation with the witches is so loaded with terrified exposition about how, well, weird their situation is, readers got confused. ....وسعت 145

One that particularly caught my attention was "It's all Greek to me," because we have a similar expression in Brazilian Portuguese, "Isso é grego para mim", which is the exact translation from the original! There's also the variation "você está falando grego" (you're talking Greek to me), which is more common, but still. Anyhow, congratulations on this wonderful research and thank you for bringing so much knowledge and fun facts in such a short amount of time! You're THE guy! :) Kind regards from Brazil! ....وسعت 7

@leisum7620منذ 4 سنوات I didn't know about that exprssion ''It's all Greek to me''. In Spanish (atleast in Spain) we use a similar expression but using id="hidden18" class="buttons"> ''Chinese'': ''Me suena a chino'' (''sounds Chinese to me'') or ''¿Hablo chino?'' (''Do I speak Chinese?''). This last one is used, for example, when you have given an indication/order to someone and that person hasn't done what he/she had to do, so you say: ''¿Hablo chino?'' like saying in an ironic (and maybe a little agressive) way ''Didn't you understand?''.

@Hvitserk67منذ 4 سنوات I notice that Shakespeare via modern English has also influenced the Scandinavian languages. For example, the phrase "Too much of a good thing" id="hidden22" class="buttons"> - in norwegian "For mye av en god ting". The sense is that a little bit of "something" is acceptable and positive, but too much is simply too much (for example, being ambitious, devoted or eg using salt in a dish). Or, for example, the phrase "as luck will have it" - in Norwegian "aldri så galt at det ikke er godt for noe" with the same meaning. "It's Greek to me" we also have from Shakespeare ("Det er gresk for meg") with the same meaning. We also have many similar compositions of words, such as upstairs (ovenpå), eyeball (øyeeple) and cold-blooded (kaldblodig). We also say eg "too torture" ("å torturere"). Other words such as successful have a slightly different construction with "vel + lykket" = vellykket (good + succeeded). We have probably in modern times also been given the terms "cheap" (billig) and "flowery" (blomstrende) from English in that they can be used in the same way with the same meaning. The term "retirement" ("pensjon") we have not obtained from French, but from the word "pund" (pound in english) via Old German pfunt (pfund in modern german). The word comes from Latin and means transformation in the sense of weighing/paying what retirement is in many ways :) ....وسعت 4

@WebWebCeroمنذ 4 سنوات Hey Paul! I just wanted to thank you for sharing such inspiring information and that I hope you throw a langfocus party when you get to the 1M! So, here’s an anecdote this video reminded me about:
I went to Shakespeare’s original house in Stratford Upon Avon! It was completely phenomenal, such humble beginnings. He managed to do everything for himself! He did have a following to be honest, but he did come from a very difficult family. Love how nowadays English native speakers can give him full credit for his work. I just hope I can go back to the UK and revisit Shakespeare’s humble house. Did you know that due to childhood nutrition, people from past centuries were shorter? If you go to Shakespeare’s house you’d be very surprised by how tiny his cradle was.
Stay strong! ....وسعت 1

@alwaysuselessمنذ 4 سنوات I use all the idioms you covered. Great job, by the way! When in doubt, I assume an expression or idiom is from Shakespeare. It's hard to overestimate id="hidden26" class="buttons"> his influence. Btw, at we see onscreen: "(ie. What happened in the dream most certainly happened in real life)". This could benefit from two more periods: "i.e." instead of "ie." That's because "i.e." stands for two words "id est," Latin for "that is." The other period would be at the end of the sentence. Sorry, if I'm being an obsessive proofreader. Thanks for the download offer! This will help increase my vocabulary in Spanish, French, and German? Wow! I'll give that a try. In any case, I'm sure your newsletters will be interesting, because your videos are always the best! ....وسعت 2

@jetwaffle1116منذ 4 سنوات I live in rural Northern Ireland, and there are a lot of older English words and phrases that we use informally.
For example, we may use the words id="hidden31" class="buttons"> (bear in mind however that these words are never written) “thon” [ðɔn] for that and “thunder” [ðʌn.dəɹ]/[ðʌnː.əɹ], and we may talk extremely fast depending on the situation. Some of our words and pronunciation derive from Scottish English and Scots, which makes a pretty distinct dialect called “Ulster-Scots”, which is more prevalent in the northern areas of Northern Ireland.
Ulster Scots is quite a wide dialect and it doesn’t sound the same everywhere, but it does use a fair amount of Shakespearean vocabulary with a few Irish lone words thrown in to the mix, especially in the western regions
This essentially means that the rest of the UK, particularly England, don’t have a damn clue about what we’re saying! ....وسعت 39

@alidea20منذ 4 سنوات I’ve also read that Shakespeare introduced (or popularized?) the phrase “catching a cold" to refer to someone falling ill. Interestingly, only a few years ago scientists couldn’t explain why cold weather tended to make people sick until a Yale study in 2015 found that lower temperatures weaken the nose’s first line of immune defenses. Yet Shakespeare coined this very fitting expression more than 400 years ago ....وسعت 3
