American was Shocked By Africa Countries Word Differences!! (Egypt, Zimbabwe, Namibia) 

As a shona speaker I think they didn’t do us justice… they should have asked worlds like Sky, heaven and roof 🤣🤣🤣 thats when shona shines

Kotapeya is the actual name of an avocado in Shona. 😅

-"Afrikaans is basically Dutch but drunk" - "and for me the dutch sounds like a drunk kind of German" 😂😂member of The Netherlands and Germanh had been on the channel before and they talked about it , next time Josephine 🇳🇦 could make a video with them 😊

Can we get an video of Namibia, South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe since they are neighbors? 😭😭😭

The Zimbabwean girl is getting many words wrong, table is tafura, avocado is Kotapeya,

Oshiwambo (oshikwanyama Lion - onghoshi Map - okaalita Chocolate - chocolate Avocado _ Table - oshitafula Green - shi twima omafo Coffee - okofiwa Coconut _

When doing African languages pick things that are found in the natural world in Africa as opposed to artificial and imported things. Otherwise it will just be an episode of English a loan words. Words like water, father, hot, cold, tree, laughter, sorrow, house etc...

It's good to see some more African representation. Well done, World Friends.

I am loving how people with Albinism are getting more representation! It is wonderful to see!

I'm fluent in Shona and seeing this girl speak shona bravely without being scared of being bullied makes me smile

The Shona girl is right to question herself😂

In Shona 🇿🇼 we say : Lion - Shumba 🦁 Map - Map 🗺 Chocolate - Chokoreti 🍫 Table - Tafura Green - Greeni 🟩 Avocado - Avocado 🥑 Coffee - kofi ☕ Coconut - Kokonati 🥥

Green in Shona is Ruvara rwe zerere. Avocado is kotapeya. Table is tafura

I love these 3 ladies, their personalities are fantastic. Languages from Africa are just so unique 👍👍👍

I wonder how different Afrikaans in Namibia is compared to South African Afrikaans. I'm not talking about city specific slang but like overall vocabulary of the entire country.

Map in Oshiwambo is - Okaalita (Namibia )

Avocado (from spanish aguacate and that from nahuatl auhacatl ), and chocolate (spanish chocolate from nahuatl xococatl ) are all native mexican words, and they describe things not native to Africa so it makes sense that they use english or whatever language introduced them to their country.

Interesting the lady from Namibia speaks afrikaans , i think someone from The Netherlands or Belgium could be on a video , even though it's about african countries i would to know how afrikaans sounds like

As a Dutchman, it was interesting to hear Josephine from Namibia. I knew that Namibia and South Africa both speak Dutch, or I should say Afrikaans, but since it's so far away, I never hear it. I would also be very curious to hear all the different Dutch-speaking countries together. Belgium would have a very clear Flemish accent, and although I would defintely recognize Afrikaans, I likely won't be able to distinguish between South Africa and Namibia. I also wonder how different Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten would sound, since they're all small islands in the Caribbean, and whether they would sound similar to the Suriname accent. And I know they also speak Dutch in some parts of Indonesia, but that's definitely the minority in their country. But I don't think you'll be able to find people from all those countries in South Korea at the same time, especially because Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten have only ~50k-200k residents each. But I'm already happily surprised to see someone from Namibia on your channel, and I hope to see more of her. ^_^

Fun fact I’m also a Zimbabwean ❤❤❤

Table in shona is Tafura, Avocado is Kotapeya. Green is doesn't have a specific term but you use phrases depending on what you are referring to

As I am Zimbabwean, me and my daughter understand most of the words

Yes here for my Namibian- Angolan sister representing our beautiful cultures 🇦🇴 🇳🇦👏🏾👏🏾

Shona: Table is Tafura derived from Tafel (Afrikaans)

When it comes to African countries they're usually not alot of comments

Shona lady.... Table is tafura... From afrikaans... Tafel.... Modern Shona has heavily borrowed words from mostly English, Afrikaans, Ndebele, Zulu and lastly Portuguese. This is because of the cultures that have been a part of Zimbabwean history for ages. Eg shona word for table is tafura from afrikaans tafel, a jacket is bhachi from afrikaans baadjie, cup is komichi from kommetjie, room is kamuri from kamer then many English borrowed words as most people prefer communicating and writing in English. I guess it is the same for Namibia and other English speaking southern african countries because of the very large numbers of Europeans in the region and also because these were the last countries to gain independence in Africa...... Hope that helps 😊😊😊😊😊

Shona mukutiregerera apo table - tafura green-girini avocado-kotopeya coffee- kofi / umbrella putugadzike

As Zimbabwean shumba and Simba spot the differences. Do we not have a name for avocado ends with pear. 20 years immigrant in Europe if I’m wrong. Chitafura is a table in Zimbabwean Shona. Our shit is so entwined with English it’s hard to tell

Zimbabwean Shona ironically has a lot of Afrikaans influence as well . We also call avocado kotopeya, ( quarter pear ) shuwa research 😂ou are not alone Zimbabweans are not generally not aware of their own language . Well tried though 👏🏾

Proudly Namibian 🇳🇦❤️ Joyce did pretty well with Oshiwambo and Afrikaans 🥰. Coconut 🥥 in Afrikaans is klapper. Map in Afrikaans is kaart. Next come for a visit in Namibia 🇳🇦 ❤

A map is “Oka alitali”, lion is “Onghoshi” in oshiwambo 🇳🇦

In Indonesia 🇮🇩 we say : 1. Lion : Singa 🦁 2. Map : Peta 🗺️ 3. Chocolate : Cokelat 🍫 4. Table : Meja 5. Green : Hijau 🟩 6. Avocado : Alpukat 🥑 7. Coffee : Kopi ☕ 8. Coconut : Kelapa 🥥

our zimbabwean girl we love u

As a Shona speaking person, this is painful to watch. It's sad how we value other cultures and forget or own.

A Dutch and Afrikaans speaking person can understand 1 another 2 a certain extent because the languages are so similar

I've always heard there are similarities between Namibia and my country, south africa but seeing it is funny

My Zimbabwean sister, in Shona; Table is Tafura Avocado is Kotopeya

Mwana wevhu akanaka zvake ❤

Shona borrowed quite a number of words from Afrikaans . Compare the following words in both shona and Afrikaans table, brick , church , farm , store etc

I my love my Namibian diverse cultures and languages, though we are so fluent in Afrikaans, we all still speak our Native languages 💯

Namibiaaa💖💖💖

I'm also Zimbabwean and the way we speak sometimes makes me laugh

Svutugadzike apo heeyyi😂, #Coffee

Ah… this was quite disappointing. Was hoping to hear more words from native African languages, but they instead used a lot of loan words from European languages 😔

The namibian girl looks exactly like she was black but she's white if you know what I mean. Stunningly unique beauty.

Can we give it to the Egyptian for having a Palestine necklace and being so knowledgeable in the Arabic language? Many egyptians only know the egyptian words

Where I am from the Afrikaans for Advocado is "advokadopeer" but we usually just use "avo" and the coconut is "kokosneut" but most people use the english word.

Enjoyed watching this video because im also Zimbabwean...

Green in Oshiwambo “Shitwima omafo”… literally meaning “the colour of leaves”

Pretty sure neither "TV" nor "computer" are English words originally. So many "English" words have roots in other languages and are loanwords exactly like how other languages use English words.

I like josephine, Namibina lady, her accent is so south african too.

kkkkk to the zimbabwean, table is also tafura, iwe usagara patafura yangu

Can u make a video like this with Italian, French, Spanish, Turkish, German, Brazilian, Greek, American people?

can u guys do persian and urdu plus arabic cause i feel like they are very similiar

Wow this guy's are good I'm from namibai and I also speak oshiwambo

in Zim,coconut avocado map are foreign.we name them as derivatives of original names . unfortunately,the Zim lady is not clued to that.even tafura word (table) is a borrowed word not originally from Zim language

Would love to see semantic languages - Amharic, Tigrinya (not sure how to say the name correctly in English), Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic...

For table in Shona it’s tafura 😂😂😂😂

Imagine making a video of all the nationalities in the world. They would need a bigger room lol

As Zimbabweans, we too have Shona names for those colors, green is zerere, yellow is huroro, red is tsvuku, etc

Kkk😂😂 haa munotobva kwa sadza chaiko here sisi kkk but anyways thanks😊😊

Im Zimbabwean, but grew up in Egypt

OUR GIRL WE LOVE YOU.....ITS GIVING ZIMBABWE

Mauritian Creole -coffee - kafe, chocolate - sokola. Green - ver. Table - latab.

Love from 🇿🇼,

An avocado is called Kotapeya in Shona which is derived from quarter pear avocado.

this girls speaks ama2k Shona 🤣. she was right to question shona lol

For Afrikaans we use the word "klapper" for coconut

Zimbabwean (Shona) Table - Tafura Avocado - Kotopeya usatidaro home girl

In Shona sometimes we say mavoco for avocados

The problem is most of these items are not native to southern Africa so we are more likely not to have names for them. We just used the words that the Europeans used for simplicity. They should use objects that are found all over the world regardless which part of it you exist, such as the sun, water etc

imso happy

Coconut -nzungu Tv - chivhitivhiti Orange - damba Mango -mengo Red -tsvuku Black - Nhema/tema Blue - chishava White - chena Yellow - kukangavira Avocado - kotapeya Banana - banana Guava - tseta Add more 😅😅

Map in Oshiwambo is “Okaalita”,.

Girl in Zimbabwe that's a tafura, kotapeta negirini zveiyo mwanasikana

That Namibian language is close to shona

The Shona girl grew up in town . She knows modernized Shona but there are shona words not just shonarise the English words.

The Shona Girl is Doing it All Wrong 😂😂😂

In swahili we call coconut "nazi" pronounced "Naa-see"

Aaaaah in Shona table is tafura and Avocado is Kotapeya. ❤

Shona seems to have very few native words. They should invite some East Africans

In Shona table is tafura but if you say table everyone here will understand

You need to interview people who actually know these languages

table is tafura in shona and avocado is kotopeya

The black girl is literally from Zimbabwe and I am from Zimbabwe, so I understand Shona 😊

We would love to see Algerian guests you would like the language tone and intonation 🥰🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿

Just as addition to shona name for Table. We call it TAFURA meaning Table

The Shona speaked 😮doesn't know much shona, some of those words she is lying that we don't have ours😂😂😂

The Oshiwambo word for map is like the Arabic one "okaalita".

Table in Zimbabwe it's also tafura

Hey Zim girl Avocado it's kotapeya
