Indians Let American Eat For Free When He Orders in Tamil

Once you start speaking over 2-3 languages it just becomes easier and easier. Especially if you really want to learn.

She was so nice- wanting to know his name and then asking him in person how the food was. Such a kind lady

Come to Tamil Nadu or most part of India then get to know a family. It’s just pure, fact that few scumbags tarnish the name of Indians makes me so sad man. India welcomes you, Do visit Tamil Nadu❤️

literally felt like when I'm in a relatives house and they ask how the food is while they are in the kitchen making the next dish

I stayed in Tamil Nadu in 2009. I wish I could have stayed longer. Absolutely loved it. Great video.

Yeah and the restaurant owner was chill and tried to make him feel better by saying "its on the house" instead of questioning him why he left without paying.

I was thinking the same thing. Man is an absolute chad. *enters foreign restaurant* *speaks THEIR native language* *gets offered free food but denies and pays anyway*

It's the right thing to do always. Legend

Paying anyway was the best move imo

It's a very thoughtful gesture but maybe he wanted to treat him? I love cooking for my friends and family. Watching them enjoy what I cooked, makes me happy 😊

Indians are the warmest and friendliest people ever. I can’t tell you how much free food and tea I had when I was traveling in India.

It was adorable. Felt like an aunt calling to her nephew about dinner.

Exactly!! it pisses me off when non-indians try to play knight and pull the "cultural appropriation" card when most of us love sharing our culture with other people

It is a beautiful channel for sure. But to erect barriers to any culture, to prevent others from embracing the aspects of that culture, is the very definition of bigotry and prejudice. Ari has a gift for language, and he displays respect for not only the language but the cultural foundations of each. THAT is what makes his attitude so wonderful. I cannot imagine that anyone would think that "appropriation", and if one does it only serves to show weak-mindedness.

fr. for cultures and languages to be preserved they must be studied by people that don't natively practice them. People that scream “cultural appropriation” at this kind of thing don't understand the bigger picture and are 99% of the time not even from where they are getting mad for. People from different places love to see other people learning what's most beautiful and important to them. Thank god we have the internet where there is an endless amount of material stored from everywhere in the world so hopefully nothing gets forgotten with time.

Definitely agree, and I feel like I've been seeing barriers getting larger and larger in the west as time goes on. Too many people are worried about who's culture is who's like... everybody on Earth is 100% human. Culture grows and changes, especially now that we have so much potential to connect with people who are different from us or come from somewhere else. I don't see black culture and Indian culture or whatever. Its all human culture to me, and people who are proud of stuff such as their skin color or heritage - without every having done anything at all - are morons. Why be so proud of something you had no control of? And why get angry when people try to share it? People love to share their culture because its a big part of who they are and saying they can't share it with someone because they're different is pretty prejudice.

No one would call learning another language like this cultural appropriation, you're being silly.

@@rikvis What makes you think that they don't speak or know English? Friend from school's grandfather refused to leave France with out his wife and she wanted to be buried in France. When she dies, The grandfather moved in with his family. The 1st thing he did was sighing up for Language classes to learn English. Try as he could he just couldn't learn to speak English but he could read and write English just as much as the other person. He carried around a notebook so he could have a conversation with people. He was a very sweet man. So just because they don't speak English doesn't mean they can't speak or understand the language. I can read French more than I can speak it.

Indeed, works as well for all languages as well. I travel Europe a lot and get by on just the basic courtesies more often than not.

I sometimes wish all people spoke the same language. Any one. Just. The same.

I’ve read a psychological review that showed knowing at least two languages (one other than your native), vastly opens your ability to learn things outside of your own society. Supposedly it makes you more understanding and empathetic as well. So…all around…knowing two languages just makes you a better person.

Agree with tone, pronunciation but sentence structure?

Hindi isn't too bad for westerners imo and devnagari is easy enough. Tamil is so difficult though. I'm not sure if Malayalam is harder but it's like reading jalebi :)

So true! My employer has a large factory on the Tamil Naidu / Karnataka border. The most employees there can speak both languages and I have tried to learn but I struggle a lot. Both Tamil and Kanada have local dialects and I get people giving different guidance depending on what part of each state they came from. For anyone considering visiting southern India, I can't recommend it enough. It's been a great experience. I loved getting back there after a two year hiatus from the pandemic.

beautiful! Salute from France

To my American ears it is a very pretty sounding language.

Tamil is one of the oldest languages. But not the oldest. Sanskrit is the oldest language.

Tamil is a very beautiful language.

Idk what this dudes profession is. But I got a funny feeling he has the time to dedicate doing this compared to most people. Now I’m not downgrading his ability just saying I’m sure it helps a good chunk if you really engrain yourself into it and that obviously involves time people might not have. P

@@robosoldier11 He said in the video that learning languages and making videos about it is his full time job for 4 years. However it wouldn't be fair to say it is only because he has time. You don't become Mozart just because you have time to pratice.

@@robosoldier11 yeah he also has commonly said that he practices with his friends a lot for many different languages. Having that many bilingual friends that he most likely see's often would definitely help a lot as compared to say,, taking a one hour class a few times a week you know? Like you said, not trying to talk down on his ability to learn at all, dude is very clearly incredibly smart. But he also does obviously have the resources to learn these languages at an advanced rate.

I gave thumbs down

His accent is not very good but i respect him for trying :)

@abdur raman, this is after just three weeks of learning Tamil. You should cut him some slack.

Same bro. As a fellow Tamilian, I’m like finally he’s learning the Tamil language now

A lot of ethnocentrism in these videos. Tamil is not particularly ancient. Only attested in 905 BC. Nowhere near as old as Sanskrit. And not even comparable to Sumerian or Ancient Egyptian which are even older.

@@lookoutforchris there is one thing different. Tamil is still spoken today, those languages you mentioned are already dead, or only used as classical languages. And the guys agree that he speaks really great for someone learning the language for only three weeks, which is fantastic. Would like him to try Persian tho, as I am trying to learn the language and is a bit tricky for me

I can’t speak Tamil well but my understanding is very good

Bro my family bullies the accent my little brother got when speaking tamil... Not surprising he doesnt even speak it now.

same goes for Spanish speakers. smh.

Tamilians really are still under colonization mindset. Grow up. Maybe stop going abroad but that's your wish. And speak your mother tongue with pride. Just because an American orders in perfect Tamil yes it's good appreciate it but take your food's money and don't give him/her extra . Do they give you extra or anything for free because you speak English? No right? Get it in your head

What you said may be true in an English speaking country. I live in Norway, where we have Tamil Schools and second generations born and raised here speaking really good Tamil and Norwegian. Tamils here are mostly from Sri Lanka and India. Here I find kids learn Naatiyam (baradhanaatiyam) with Tamil thaalam and muthirais. No Sanskrit songs and mudhras.

Ari how is iiiiiiit hahaha so cute

I honestly would’ve forgotten the word 😂😂

Actually he initially said karumam which means bad, that's why everyone giggled. But the actual word is karam, that's why everyone made him to correct it. Few words similar pronunciation but has different meaning altogether. That's why even few dialects are hard to grasp even for the native speaker.

He's like a sponge of languages

he used the word that he knew before that interaction, not the word he learned in the interaction. it's possible that that word was a srilankan tamil exclusive word so he double checked it with his friends and they told him a different word to use

One thing that always annoys me a bit when English speakers are trying to learn a foreign language is that native speakers always tell the English speakers that their accent isn't correct. Of course it isn't correct, and probably never ever will be... Like, on the flip side, non-native English speakers always have an "incorrect" accent when they speak English. For example, Indian people speak English with an Indian accent, Chinese speak with a Chinese accent, French speak with a French accent and so on. I don't ever hear English speakers telling them that their English/American accent isn't correct. Of course it won't be correct. The only way to have a correct accent is to speak a language for a VERY long time, and even then most people can't speak in a native sounding accent unless it's a language that they started learning when they were really young. I just think telling someone learning a new language that their accent isn't correct is like telling somebody that the sky is blue. An English speaker speaking a foreign language will speak it with an English/American accent just like a non-native speaker will speak English with whatever their native accent is. It's just how it works...

what does the writing script have to do with him speaking the language?

@@xtraspecialj based.

​@@xtraspecialj The issue is English speakers seem to maul other language pronunciations way worse than others speakers do, probably due to the nature of the English language being a mess in that regard, so the distorted pronunciation (i.e. English being a strongly non-phonetic language) carries over to all languages they try to speak. The same goes the other way around, when phonetic-language-speakers try to battle with English being so incoherent and unpredictable. An English speaker will be locked in that mode and find it hard to switch out of it, a foreigner will find it tough to tune into it. Tamil being a phonetic language, is hard to mispronounce; literally just read what you see! But the distorsion carry over.

Totally agree. My local elementary school used to have an event every year for the fourth graders to put on a sort of "fair" celebrating their heritage. Every kid represented a country of their heritage, and the country groups would get together ahead of time with parents and grandparents to plan decor, authentic food, culturally relevant activities, etc., to showcase in the fair. For two school days, the kids (and some first-generation parents and grandparents) set up in a gathering space (basically the size of a gym), and the students from other grades would come in to visit the different countries, including a lot of native speakers. It's a fairly small school, but the typical representation the years I was involved was about 20-25 countries across 4-6 continents. It was a long-standing tradition for the school that was scaled back and eventually came to an end over the course of the 2010s. Ultimately, the issues that ended it were complaints about the existence of an Israel exhibit, the allowance of European exhibits (even though Europe wasn't even the most-represented continent), and, eventually, allegations that having the children try the food, play games, do activities like sari-wrapping, etc., was cultural appropriation. I was heartbroken. The school was part of a community that celebrated cultural heritage, but never supported enclaves or exclusion because _everyone_ was American (and many had worked very hard to be). It really was the best of what you imagine multi-culturalism to be.

@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 sounds like it was a beautiful event. Very sad that it ended. The idea of cultural appropriation has ruined a lot. It is cultural appreciation.
