I’m South African, and my family visits there a lot. It’s really great, Mozambicans are _way_ more relaxed and friendly than we are. I love Mozambique ❤️
I googled it! Apparently it was written in one of Oda Nobunaga journals (a famous samurai of the time). As my mum was born in Mozambique and i myself are fascinated with the Japanese culture. This makes me very happy!!!! 😂😊
ZΣꝐH1950 latino = people who descend from the people who spoke Latin language: portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian. So yes, ex-colonies from Portugal are Latino countries.
2014: 6 countries (Afghanistan to Antigua and Barbuda) 2015: 27 countries (Argentina to Central African Republic) 2016: 28 countries (Chad to France) 2017: 31 countries (Gabon to South Korea) 2018: 29 countries (Kuwait to Mozambique) So 2019 will be from Myanmar to... I estimate that 2019 will end with one of the three Caribbean "Saint" countries or Samoa or even San Marino
The funny thing about Mozambique's adaptation to Portuguese is that, when they say "matarbicho" they re literally saying "I'm about to kill this bug that makes my stomach feeling empty" in Portuguese
- Freneza I know there are worst countries, I'm just here joking about the amount of violence in my country with my fellow Brazilian. It's a thing we do
- Freneza That's fair. I don't enjoy seeing people from super developed countries complain about theirs either, but it's okay, every country has its troubles and everyone has the right to complain about theirs, of course if they recognize that they should also be concerned for those who are in a worst position. :)
Portuguese here: in Portuguese "pasta" doesn't only mean "paste" it can also mean "suitcase" or "backpack", the latter is mostly used by the more older people
Barry Allen Why are we arguing over a crappy Florida joke? Dude, I know how economy works. I just wanted to make a joke about Florida. Btw yes I'm from Turkey. This whole devalution thing really hits hard man :) Right now our currency slowly regains value but cost of living still increases. It sucks...
Barry Allen About Florida. Yes you are right. Richer country means more cost of living. Though Florida is absurdly expensive to live. Like let's put it this way: In California(a wealthy state) you earn a lot and spend a lot but in Florida you earn some and spend a lot.
Barry Allen Meh, I don't think we should be in EU but we should achieve the standards of EU and have great relations with them(tbh whole world should). Also you should not call one country "enemy" and other one "friend". International politics are way more complicated than that. In international politics there is no black and white. Literally everything is gray and everything revolves around money. Even the horrible stuff like bonesawing a journalist in your embassy or bombing yemeni schools are considered "gray" if you got the money.
Sou Moçambicano, e gostei muito do vídeo, meus melhores cumprimentos produção do canal por apresentar o tema relacionado ao meu país. Meus melhores cumprimentos e votos de um bom trabalho.
@Carlos Saraiva Mesmo assim o Eusébio continua a ter descendencia moçambicana, e podia muito bem incluir esta na lista, até porque depois da independência de Moçambique foi atribuída a dupla nacionalidade a quem nasceu nas antigas colónias.
@@iciman100 Eusébio was born in "Portuguese East Africa", back then Mozambique wasn´t yet an indenpendent country, was just a colony of Portugal, so technicaly, Eusébio born in Portugal, but in 1975 Mozambique declared its own indenpendece, so Eusébio had the two nationalities, even taht he was born the the capital of Mozambique.
@@TheMajestic8 i just wanted to say he played for Portugal he is better known as a Portuguese player, as Zidane is originate from algerian parents born in france and playing for france , so Zidan is well known as a french player no one suspect him to be from Algerian background.
@@skagereistad7771 Skage Reistad I'm also from here. It's pretty accurate, yes. Although I just think that the people chosen as famous, in the end, were not more famous than Eduardo Mondlane, Luísa Diogo (first female prime minister), and maybe more emphasis on Lurdes Mutola.
@@toiwiovski1404 eu li que é pra representar as maiores orgulhos deles q são a indústria bélica e a agricultura. (talvez não esteja 100 por certo) algum de Moçambique por favor ajude.
As a ‘mozambican’ (born in angola,spent most my life living in moz) i am so glad for all this information to be accessible for everyone to learn more about the culture and lifestyle
I am Brazilian, married to a Mozambican with Portuguese, Dutch, Masena and Manyunwuè heritage from Tete and I love the country. I arrived here in 2004 with 26 years old, worked in the Moatize coal mine pre-feasibility and feasibility studies from 2004 to 2006 and then in all other provinces except Quelimane as an exploration geologist. I lived here from 2004 to 2011 before leaving to France, Zambia and Brazil and returned in 2018 to live in Tete with the goal to set up my roots here. I love Africa and specially Mozambique.
Ahh Africa's strange Portuguese speaking, once communist allied...commonwealth nation? Yeah, #Mozambique a unique backstory. Our LAST country of 2018! THANKS TO GEOGRAPEEPS ADONAY AND TIM featured in the video and all you other Mozambican geograpeeps that helped with this one! You guys rock! Stay tuned for Flag/ fan Friday and a special video next week!
eusebio was portuguese. in that time mozambique was just a portuguese colony and not a country so he had automatic portuguese nationality. but yes he could be mentioned in this video
My country, finally! Thank you for doing it. I'm happy to see my name in the credits, despite sharing info so late. It's pretty accurate for which little time. Although I think it's important to mention that right now we are going through a major crisis due to huge corruption schemes where the people are paying for secret loans taken by some dudes with power. I also just think that the people chosen as famous, in the end, were not more famous than Eduardo Mondlane, Luísa Diogo (first female prime minister), and maybe more emphasis on Lurdes Mutola who is the icon for sports and is a woman =) PS: We call Lake Malawi as Lake Niassa! And Samora Machel's last name is pronounced as X like "mex" and not K like "Michael" haha But great video =)
Yes, there were some problematic pronunciations throughout but he didn't do too bad for not knowing the place at all. You can't mess up "Samora Machel" though - that mistake made me wince, ugh... thanks for pointing it out to him!
Eu vou matabichar... kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Em Portugal também se fala "mata-bicho". No Brasil dizemos "eu vou tomar o café da manhã". Um abraço a todos os Moçambicanos! :D
@@Abstract.Noir414 I was 15 when that comment was made, a lot of things changed but something that haven't changed is the fact that it IS the same in portuguese, thank you Mr. Noir
Hey Paul and team, thanks for another good episode; Mozambique is a beautiful and peace-loving country that is often neglected . However, I feel that you are slipping and that is episode is well below par for you You give too much emphasis on the Portuguese/English dilemma of the country which is not really a big deal in the country. You showed the Maputo-Katembe bridge under construction but it was actually inaugurated in November 2018. It is the longest suspension-bridge in all of Africa. You usually take so much time to go over trivial facts about other countries' infrastructure but completely missed this important fact. The newly opened Maputo-Katembe bridge is a huge driver of tourism and is a very big milestone in the progress of the country. You made a similar omission in the Morocco episode (which was rather flippant) by not mentioning that Morocco had recently inaugurated the high-speed railway between Tangier and Casablanca. Again a lot of time is spent on why Mozambique is part of the commonwealth but you completely missed the main infrastructure aspect of the country which is the EN1 highway that connects almost the entire eastern part of the country from north to south. Most inexplicable of all you left out the most famous person from Mozambique, Eusebio. He is easily one of the greatest footballers to ever live and he won the Ballon d'Or for his club in Portugal. Because Mozambique was not independent at the time, he took on Portuguese and led his country to great glory in the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England. Portugal thenceforth went from being a nobody on the Football stage to being a significant player. Eusebio scored four goals in one match and saved his country from humiliation against North Korea. Eusebio was called the 'Black Pearl' for his skill and agility in football. He is titan of the sport and omitting him is like omitting Maradonna from Argentina. I am a bit saddened because your channel has a lot of influence on travelers and is an important vehicle in spreading awareness about overlooked countries of the world. Thus there are great expectations placed on your country episodes. I understand that you try to do your best and you cannot be expected to know everything about the country but missing out on such salient details is highly remiss of you. There are other important omissions and mistakes that I would have like to mention about this episode but a RU-vid comment is no place for nuance. You have not mentioned that Mozambique offers visa-on-arrival to all countries despite what Mozambique embassies abroad might say. Mozambique also offers visa-free tourism for all its neighbours and not just Angola. The government of Mozambique has taken great steps to privatize its industries and lessen the effect of its former one-party socialism. The most visible effect of that is the entrance of different airlines into its domestic and international routes. Whereas travel through LAM was a major hassle, the introduction of Ethiopian Airlines and FastJet into domestic routes has a gone a long way in easing travel within the country. My feelings aside, you have done the country of Mozambique a great service through this episode because a million people who didn't know much about the country will be more knowledgeable it. It is shocking how little information is available online about Mozambique compared to other countries and this episode will go a long way in addressing that. For that I bless your heart and wish you a Merry Christmas. May Manwe keep you safe under the One.
Paul speaking Portuguese just made my day. Also, you said "Eu nunca deixarei", meaning "I'll never leave", but a more accurate way to translate that would be "Eu nunca irei embora"
@@74685645 Yes, but that just makes it BOTH Mozambican and Portuguese, it does not erase the fact that he was from Mozambique. He mentioned Abel Xavier, for crying out loud, who was born in Mozambique also when it was a part of Portugal...
@Henrique Faustino Those dates would support exactly the reverse conclusion: Eusébio lived 33 years of his life when being Mozambican also meant being Portuguese, so, even if after independence he refused Mozambican citizenship, he still had 33 years of being both Mozambican and Portuguese! Abel Xavier, on the other hand, only lived 3 years when being Mozambican also meant being Portuguese, after which his family opted for Portugal. But anyway, that's irrelevant. In other episodes Barbs lists people that are of more remote ancestry, like grandchildren and great-grandchildren of expats that never even lived in the featured country, so it's totally unjustified to leave Eusébio out of Mozambique's episode.
I'm in South Africa. Before 1975, Maputo, called Lourenço Marques back then, or LM, was a favourite destination for South African tourists. Now, apparently it is trying to revive that, as much as it can. A good example is with its most famous hotel, the Polana.
Ok, I am not sure if there is any dialect of Portuguese where it sounds different but please when you are reading Portuguese names don't say Jorge as if its in spanish, the portuguese pronounce it as George except the G sounds more like a J in english.
No Portuguese dialect reads the "J" as in Spanish. "J" is always pronounced like "Zh" in Zhivago. (Not exactly like J or G in English, because in English it sounds like dg or dj.) Barbs also messed up the "X" in Xavier, which in this case is read like "Sh" in English. And his accent at the beginning of the episode was more akin to Brazilian Portuguese. (Anyway, at least is was one flavour of Portuguese...)
@@GazilionPT Eu disse que parecia mais um J em inglês pq uns amigos meus ingleses entenderam quando eu fiz essa comparação, mas tu explicas-te mto melhor.
@@Bruno-ti3vd I always doubt about the Zhivago example - not because it's not a good example (it's good) but because I wonder how many people still know how to pronounce Zhivago... :D
I think this is the first country mentioned so far with the most diverse "Friend Zone". They're friends with countries of every continent except Oceania and Antarctica.
It's one of the cheapest countries in Southeast Asia, really underrated, you get so much for your dollar or western currency! I will post videos and pictures about it soon :D
@Usecriticalthinking They are just opening up, if you go to Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake or Yangon, you are fine and would have the time of your life! :D
It's been five years since this video was posted but I still greatly appreciate all the research and effort put into it (AS WELL AS ALL THE JOKES OML-)
Also, Portugal receives lots of students from Angola and Mozambique through scholarships agreements which is great since universities in those countries are yet developing.
É muito bom ver um vídeo feito esse que enaltece meu belo mocambique dessa forma sem olhar muito mais pra a parte negativa como a mídia tem feito, mais um Moçambicano satisfeito com esse vídeo 🇲🇿
I love these videos. I find out about a country I’ve never heard of through football or history videos and there’s always a video for it. Appreciate you guys
This was so awesome to watch my dad is Mozambican and my mother is from Botswana but they met in South Africa and had me and my 4 siblings in SA I am born and raised in SA and currently live there too but I have always considered myself Mozambican as I love it there even though I have never lived there. I grew up going on school holidays or for family events. I can fluently speak Shangaan/Tsonga, Ronga and understand Chopi and speak a fair amount of Portuguese along with Tswana, Zulu and Afrikaans from South Africa. Now I see how blessed I am to have such a mixture of languages as my heritage which contributed to me being a passionate polyglot Muito Khanimambo gostei do video!!!
Great episode as always !! Eusebio, the second greatest Portuguese footballer of all time and the greatest player in the Portuguese top football division is from Mozambique
Moçambique is currently going through a very harsh time in Cabo Degaldo province. Our thoughts and prayers are with your, dear brothers. Os portugueses estão convosco, amado Moçambique!
