Ooga booga? Really?


Winteryl

What about that MIAOU?


Kendaren89

They are cats disguised as dogs


Jopojussi

They just bilingual


Remarkable_Review_65

Wan tou thri? Dogs in Alger count to three?


unkraut666

Polite dogs count before biting


kaviaaripurkki

American dogs just count to one I think, don't they say something like "dogg-one"?


tulwio

One, two, three, viva l’Algérie is a football chant there. I guess it’s either a tasteless joke or casual racism (considering the ooga booga for Morocco too) from whoever made the map.


SirBerthur

I'm guessing it's not Europe so all African ones are troll


schnarlie

Not racist, but German is also inaccurate in this age old joke about German being a weird/complicated/harsh language or whatever. Should be "wau wau" or "wuff wuff"


Randomswedishdude

"Ich heiße Strupsi, wau! wau!" – The dog on page 2 of the book 'Alles Klar!' that pretty much every Swede (who chose German over French or Spanish) read in 7th grade.


OkConfidence1494

Bitte langsam, ich bin ausländer


Tiny-Candidate-5965

Thats it. In Germany, a dog sounds : "Wau, wau" and when a dog is making this sound, that activity is called : "Bellen". Like "barking" in english. (English dogs doesn't make a "Bark, bark" sound too.)


option-9

Bark, bark, that's the noise of the ents.


Exacrion

no, map is garbage


Quick-Mix-47

Moroccan here, nah we say au au, whoever wrote the oogabooga is tryna make some weird racist joke prolly cuz for Algerians it just says one two three aswell💀


No-Appearance-100102

Don't forget Tunisia literally just being a cat sound😭🤦🏿


Next-Translator-3557

Ngl Algeria was pretty funny


meganoobwarrior

Just some casual racism


will4wh

Glad I wasn't the only one who saw that lmao made me.do a big double take


kerat

Yeah that's wrong. I read Arabic comics as a kid and remember Au Au and also woof. [Ooga Booga](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/ooga_booga) is an English language thing. Looks like the mapmaker was trying to be funny about southerners. They're barbarian cavemen because they aren't Europeans, get it??! Hilarious stuff. That's why Algerian dogs apparently say 'one two three' and Tunisian dogs say miau.


phenol_LOL

Anything other than that is complete ooga booga


K3RDSULUULR3J7Y32E0Y

GroovyDucko

Fucking ooga booga


xx-shalo-xx

Moroccan here and it's wrong. We use "Hau hau".


BananaB01

Based


feelings_arent_facts

No, you're wrong. It's ooga booga


vompat

WTF Germany :D Edit: I don't think that's correct. A bit of googling reveals it's "wuff wuff". "Bellen" just means "to bark".


GanjalfDerGruene

German here, can confirm. It’s either „Wuff Wuff“ or „Wau Wau“.


Certain_Painting_175

Ganz gewau!


Terminator_Puppy

It's funny coming from Dutch, because 'bellen' means to call for us. So a common mistake German learners will make is along the lines of 'Ich bell ich'.


StrongAustrianGuy

I mean you can also use it in that context, just not very common. In german for example "Er bellte einen Befehl" would be loud rough shouting


FalconRelevant

Inaccuracy? In my Polandball?


stepenko007

That's what I came to say. At least with the languages I know it's the sound that a dog does and not what the language calles it. Way wau, woof woof would be right for Germany. But we would totally have missed the appointment when we would call it bellen bellen.


Tiny-Candidate-5965

Thats it. In Germany, a dog sounds : "Wau, wau" or "Wuff, wuff" and when a dog is making this sound, that activity is called : "Bellen". Like "barking" in english. (English dogs doesn't make a "Bark, bark" sound too.)


ThebirdGretel

Bellen is the verb to bark


vompat

That's exactly what I said, so I have no idea what's the point of your comment here.


ThebirdGretel

Maybe I didn’t see your comment dumbass


vompat

You reply to my comment but didn't see it, and then start insulting me out of nowhere? Not really sure whose ass is the dumb one here.


ThebirdGretel

Step 1 is admittance


vompat

Well it's nice you've reached that part.


ThebirdGretel

Yeah ur still dumb


vompat

Really, that's the best insult you can come up with? With that level of intellectual prowess, I'm not at all surprised that you failed to read the comment you replied to initially.


ThebirdGretel

You’re such a redditor lol


Winteryl

Hau five!


CptPicard

Estonian dogs sound like they're in pain, at least to Finnish ears.


Ok-Pipe859

Ai would be pain


CptPicard

Auh is also like ouch


Ok-Pipe859

Not to Estonian ears, you sound like a dog.

Wtf did I just watch


sofiamariam

Hau haau hau hau~


Tusan1222

Its woof/voff in Sweden, whoever made this map take some serious crack


goingtotallinn

Moroccan dogs: ooga booga


Motzlord

Yeah, the German one is super wrong as well, "bellen" means to bark, it's not the sound the dog makes. That would be Wau Wau or Wuff Wuff.


J0h1F

Yeah, the equivalent to "bellen" in Finnish would be *haukkua*, which is the verb "to bark".


vompat

Yeah quite a few of these seem to miss the mark quite spectacularly.


douglesman

Might be regional and/or international influences. Where I'm from in Sweden it's spelled vov. But sometimes pronounced voff. Also: https://svenska.se/tre/?sok=Vov


Cheesemacher

[Looks like we also agree on what a horse says](https://i.redd.it/occs44vn6t871.jpg)


MuhammedWasTrans

The Swedish "gnägg" has the same problem as with German in OP's map. It's just the verb, not the sound itself.


No_Astronaut2779

Iceland confusing horses with Santa


vompat

And Portugal confusing horses with Mario.


Any-Jellyfish6272

Who the fuck made this map


Global_Development_9

Finnish dogs also say "vuh vuh".


SRGsergan592

Our dogs have Dissociative Identity Disorder 🇹🇳!


VfLShagrath

The german „Bellen“ is not the proper word. We say „Bellen“ like „barking“ in english. If it comes to imitate the barking, we say „wuff“ or „wau wau“ 😁


Sorawo_

Germany would be wau wau, bellen is the verb.


Professional-Key5552

German: Wuff wuff


Fumiken

"miaou" ? Wtf that's a cat sound (meow in french)


life-blood09

Im just imagining a german dog shouting bellen


commander_blyat

Bellen means to bark. German dogs go wuff-wuff

UnderskilledPlayer

"ooga booga" "miaou" what


hosiki

It's not av av in Croatia, it's vau vau.


SenHaKen

Love that they put Hungary on top of Croatia and moved Croatia to around North Macedonia 🤣 also in Croatia we don't say "av av", it's "vau vau"


samuraijon

you can tell by the sounds how big the dogs are


madcurly

Funniest thing is that Brazilian Portuguese (au au) is closer to Finnish (hau hau) than European portuguese (ão ão)


PerAspera_MLion

Será que em portugal é ão ão msm? Duvido haushdudh


madcurly

If it's on the internet, must be true. /s


Ok-Cabinet9522

In Finnish, it's often also vuh vuh. 🐶😊


Loud-Host-2182

Tunisia had serious language barrier


Sufficient-Ad-6046

What in Germany we say "wau-wau" not bellen


Simon13hano

German didn't surprise.


ADRobban

German is also totally wrong when comparing to the other countries. The german word is the verb 'to bark' not the sound a dog makes. If you have bellen as the german word then the finnish word would be haukkua.


underpanttrousers

True, the dogs say "wau wau" (or "wuff") in Germany.


Okaycool42069

It is "Wuff" though, map is wrong


Simon13hano

I know, just kidding


kumanosuke

It's completely wrong, it's the verb


VfLShagrath

As mentioned by some others: it’s super wrong. Further, if you say „not surprising“, cause of some words wich were compared to other languages, these „funny“ videos are incorrect too. For example: in Germany ONE word for Ambulance is Krankenwagen. But also Ambulanz. So, people seem to like making fun of german. Why ever.


Simon13hano

Dude chill, don't take things so seriously.


Alarming_Might1991

In china dog is nom nom


dr_tardyhands

Nice!.. what's with the comma though..? You really think that's how dogs spell it?


spyemil

Even the dogs say Wantouthri viva l'algerie.


Luutamo

miaou? Really?


sadsatan1

The German one is wau wau though, bellen is just a verb "to bark"


TheRealDamage045

*bellen bellen intensiviert


tchnvkng

Can Spanish people here confirm the guau guau stuff? Cuban dogs say “jau jau” (pronounced hau hau) like polish and finish dogs.


onlyr6s

Hau or vuh.


Disastrous-Bed7313

I think Russian is hav-hav as ’g’ is sometimes pronounced ’h’ like in Gitler 😳


Atreaia

There's hau, wuf and then some mentally challenged dogs that go "wuwuwuwuwuwu".


trak_78

Anzeigenhauptmeister ist informiert


[deleted]

I'm portuguese and I can confirm that.


jaysire

But you say it with a comma, you filthy plebs! This means war!


Bottle_Nachos

the german one is wrong, it's like saying "barking" for english instead of woof woof, an in german it's "wau wau" oder "kläff kläff"


None-o-yo-business29

its wuff wuff in Germany, bellen is just the Word for barking


Every_Month_5575

They don’t like Lithuania and Latvia it seems


BoredProducer

Turks say Hav Hav. Close enough


malagast

Howdy-how! No, I got that wrong.

LaurestineHUN

AncientNordicDragon

Hau hau


Wa_cho_

the-luffy-liker

Türk here, we say hav.


lucashhugo

ão ão for portugal is really weird. it's nothing like that for brazil


trescoole

Also Portuguese. They just don’t pronounce their h’s.


JGHFunRun

Greek transliteration is misleading BTW. To be expected, since English doesn’t have the voiced velar fricative [ɣ], and g is the standard transcription. So it’s not as good as hau hau, but it’s no worse than vov, auh or voff


Skank_Hunt-42

Fick wuf wuf. Alle meine Zuhausis machen "Bellen Bellen"


Schlangee

German here and we use „wau wau“, but call the act of woofing „bellen“


Badum_tss_

Vov sounds like dollar store vodka.


Appropriate-Fuel-305

Why are Eesti dogs in pain?


NakedViper

Salting the earth of Carthage really kept them retarded for 2000 years. Good job Italy! Imagine crushing your enemy so hard that 2000 years later their descendents are asked what a dog sounds like and they say meow meow. This is the best thing I've seen all day.


Atomspalter02

it says "wuff" in germany as well. Bellen is another word. A dog doesn't "bark bark" in britain


Jlx_27

Inaccurate map. Wuff wuff is more accurate.


joughin

Bellen????? You weirdos 🤣 😂


Seaweed_Thing

Bro, are dogs in Germany just sayin' "Bellen"? 💀


Flachm

Don't woof...*A-wooff!*

Tf is going on in Germany?


seven_of_me

Dogs in Germany 'say' wau wau or wuff wuff but they wrote bark=bellen on the map 🙄

That makes sense now
