The most popular language on earth isn’t spoken, it’s smelled. Those smells are made up of terpenes, a multipurpose class of chemical compounds.

But is it taught on Duolingo?
Nice profile pic m8
Mandarin, No.
i literally just came here from duo
+Lemuel Ogabang The correct form would be Los animales hablan.
+Guy Numbers It's from Donkey Ollie, a religious show about not touching little girls.
How did I get the most upvoted comment? Am I actually that cool?
oh, i know donkey ollie ;)
Rumor has it, that if you put your ear to the side of a pyramid and listen closely, you can actually hear a pheromone.
took me a while...................................................
I appreciate it, Bryan!
took me a second but, audibly say ahhhh haha
Punny
If we made recordings and sold them, it would be a pyramid scheme. Just sayin.
Pretty loose definition of "language" there, SciShow. . . .
i live in a legal weed state, i hear the word "terpenes" or "terps" almost 5 times a day.
Lucky you, I live in belarus and I think it will never be legal to smoke weed here, because people in power are just too stupid to realize the potential I guess. And because of alcohol lobby probably. And that's sad I have to say…
You smell it probably hundreds or thousands of times a day too.
Amazing how drug culture teaches people about science
Michael Vippermane meth chefs are real scientists lol
Some are, some aren't. Lot of talented chemists making psychedelics though
I just ate a burrito so I'm communicating with hydrogen sulfide.
coc0s I just ate some hotdogs, so I hear ya loud and clear.
I just ate nine so I'm seven
The most common language on the internet is troll
and thats not a bad thing
get triggered much?
Flatulence 104, teh unseen translation.
Kutlwano Sesing it esnt u stoop, et es lulkat
I'm pretty sure it's actually sarcasm.
Which is kind of the same thing in a different form and scale...
Anyone else hears it as herpes?
Only me? Well.
Rumour has it, YouTube comments used to be original...
Terpeeenes ! Yaaay ! They're so cool ! So elegantly varied by their subtle chemical differences !
GiggitySam Entz try hard
Man: Yeah... smell dat? Assume the position!"
Woman: What a pig!
4:17 oranisms lol
2:55 was that a joke: "what is the bacteria trying to say to the fun guy?"
Wondering if this is one of the reason why companion planting based gardens can be so successful rather than mono culture based. Love this episode Scishow Crew - Thank you!
You guys should take it easy on the colored text xD
Also, I'm happy to see Olivia's settling in nicely!
"Load terpedo tubes 2 & 3. Fire terpedoes!"
isn't it weird how the first commenters never say first?
M A R I J U A N A
Fascinating stuff, now wondering how ants smell to a bear..
"Assume a mating stance" is my new pickup line
"What did the bacteria say to the fungus" sounds like the start of a joke to me
There is a language more popular than smell: sound!
0:17 ayeee dab 🔥👌
3:55 probably the bacteria say "hahaha" ... because they answer to a really fun guy ...
(don't kill me for that pun)
4:14 Spelling mistake "Oranisms"
Awwwe but I want to have conversations with my house plant! My basil always releases a ton of its sweet smell when I water it, I like to think it's thanking me.
Sky Tower That's adorable.
If I was early, I'd come before the video was released...
Squidillac Finally someone who know what "early" means!
I used to have that problem..
I still do, but I used to too
Squidillac you do know that early has multiple meaning right.
ADP VLJ it depends on what 'early' is relative to.
Squidillac Come with your relatives. "Incest is best!"
20:17 is clock time,
2017, (two thousand and seventeen ) is the year.
2:27 wait.. SOS didn't mean save yourselves?!
SOS was always a 'we're in distress, please help' signal. The signal ...- - -... was chosen as the distress signal in Germany and adopted internationally as a unique signal. Since 'SOS' is generally easier to say and corresponds to the pattern, that's what people started calling it instead of 'distress signal'. Then folks attributed stuff like Save Our Ship to the letters.
it was a joke.. that i i thought it meant save yourselves and someone would say SOS i would just run and leave the person .
"So we will need a while to know what bacteria wants to say to fungai" god damn it
Yep so when you mow the grass the grass is screaming "save yourselves!" as you cut them in half which is what you smell.
Great work as always, Olivia! You're the best!
Thank you Scishow! Loved the video and LOVE this channel! Please don't stop!
Her nose ring reminds me of "mike lu and aag on the island"
Do a part 2 about the terpenes found naturally in cannabis!
Why does ketamine work (whereas memantine fails) for depression?
Rohan and Gondor, hahahaha.
This was kind of cool; I never knew this before. I could have used some terpenes to keep that hornworm off my tomato plant before he ate half of it!
I do terpene analysis in the lab. love it because of the nice smells^^
💕 this x
Thank you!
Oh yeah sure i am fluent in interpretive dance
Very interesting stuff. Good job, as always, Olivia.
My favorite language to use
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Settings>0.5/ 4:53 /
I really dig your look today, Olivia! Its what I wish my wardrobe was: buttoned up but ready to dig in up to the forearm :D
4:10 "most oranisms"
I love how Olivia explain things. I think i have a crush on her...
Last time I was this early, England wasn't a city...
+Dorvuzak Uzn, +Crimson Ender should both do a little more research because +Glorval MacGlorvas is right(ish) - the Celts ranged widely throughout Europe, from the Black Sea to modern France (the Romans referred to the French and Northern Italian Celts as Gauls). They ALSO migrated into England/Ireland, displacing earlier populations (think Druids). They did not "control" all of Europe, though (nobody did, or has) - the Angles and Saxons alluded to above are great examples of Germanic tribes from Central / Northern Europe. North of them were lots of Nordic tribes (so many people seemed to migrate from this area southward that it's been described by ancient historians as a 'womb of nations'). And to the east were Slavic peoples, as well as nomadic tribes from central Asia (think Scythians, Cimmerians, Huns, Mongols).
As for OP, that was a fun little reference to learn. :)
+budmeister I didn't know that! Cool fact! :D
Amazing123456 last time i was this early, math was still related to science
Amazing123456 it still isn't lol
last time i was this early the girlfriend kicked me out of house
Rohan and Gondor kingdoms have life without turpenes. I heard it first on cc. Wonder if it was news to Tolkien? :-D
It's like those aliens that comunicate with smells in the No Mans Sky game :D

If a terpene smells unpleasant, is that... foul language?
