  Magda from Sweden here! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 Thank you for watching!<br>Funnily enough, I just started a bachelor&apos;s in English at uni, but since it seemed like the others got most correct by just yelling what first came to mind, I just started doing the same, although with poor results... I&apos;m relieved to see people being so understanding. I tried my best 😅 Despite failing, I really enjoyed the game! And they did offer me a doughnut, but I declined (not a big fan), and they really did eat all of them after haha

  There was some where a correct answer was said by someone and then it was overshadowed by someone far louder in the group. It’s a shame they didn’t use white boards or paper to write a guess down on each turn.

  Nice! But they should have used a better system instead of shouting.

  Without her hair, Magda would simply blend into the white background. 😄

  Maybe you could make games like this more orderly by requiring the participants to press a button before answering, and only letting the one that hits the button first answer (calmly).

  «Earn» means &quot;eagle&quot;. The Old English word for &quot;poor&quot; is «earm&gt;.<br>«Cniht» is the ancestor of &quot;knight&quot;, but back then, it actually meant &quot;boy&quot;.<br>The Old English word for &quot;son&quot; is «sunu», not «sonne&gt;.

  Sitting directly beside the American is a disadvantage. He screaming his lungs out.

  Kida: at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRuF9OZDAD8&amp;t=840">14:00</a> you ask about the difference between Sun and Sol. &nbsp;I don&apos;t think the exact reason why is known, but Proto-IndoEuropean had different case forms for *sóh₂wl̥ (which is where your word Sol) comes from and *sh₂wéns which is the form used as a possessive. &nbsp;This continued into Proto-Germanic where the words *sōl and *sunnǭ both existed. &nbsp;The West Germanic languages spoken by the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, Franks Alemanni, Langobards, and Thuringians and (probably others i overlooked) used the *sunnǭ form to refer to the Sun, and the North Germanic languages used the *sōl form. &nbsp;But they are related words.
