My understanding for "laatlammetjie" is not just the youngest (last born) but a child who is born many years after the siblings or a child born to much older parents 🤷♂️. (Especially when the pregnancy was no longer expected to occur)
I'm a major laat lammetjie with 3 older brothers and 2 older sisters (I'm the "ours" in a case of "yours, mine, and ours"). The age differences between me and my siblings range between 11 and 23 years. Needless to say, having 3 older brothers makes for a VERY protected life! 😂
"handskoene" for some reason is my favourite when it comes to direct translations of Afrikaans words. That and animal names like "Kameelperd" idk how Afrikaans can be so descriptive but not at the same time
The way John said voetsek😂😂😂 he said it like a South African. Also the origin story is also what they told me in primary school, it's just at they used "voet, se ek" which translates to "Foot, I say!" and it's to sort of demand to walk away / get away from you
John’s imagination is awesome!! I see a bright (dark) future in writing some cool sci-fi or horror for you John!!! Cool video as usual!!! Keep it up guys!!
Love when Chantelle hosts these South African videos 🇿🇦😆 And of course we would love to see another one of these! John and Sam are the perfect contestants 😁💕
Chantelle did a fantastic job with her word choices for this fun video. They were difficult words to guess and really interesting at the same time. And John and Sam's silly guesses made it comical. Chantelle's patience and clarity in keeping the game moving forward shows her teaching skills.
Just a correction, because the English said "voot se ek" , it's supposed to be 'voort' which means to go forth or away from someone. My brother and I use the original Dutch translation which is "Scheer u weg" which is to "shred yourself away" in direct translation!
Spookasem is sooo delicious and sticky! Love it! For years I never knew the English word, because we would just say spookasem anyway!! And let's be honest, spookasem does look like breath from a supernatural creature!
I am super sure this chanel will gain millions of subscribers🤗 and then as every well grown chanel does , they wouldn't be able to like all comments 😓 btw I love your videos , you make my day. LOVE FROM INDIA🇮🇳
Oh the poor raccoon. Luckily though, it has a happy ending! They gave the raccoon some more after the first bit dissolved so he got to experience a nice sweet treat after all :)
Great video! Good choice of words, Chantelle! And a good effort from the guys. We have so many descriptive words in Afrikaans. One of my favourites is "koorsblaar" = "fever leaf". Any ideas? 😊
@@pagodaone_5697 Yes, it sounds strange and does not have a connection to plants.😊 It means "fever blister" or more commonly known as a "cold sore". The description has more to do with how the sore feels and what it looks like in Afrikaans. 😁
John should be an author, seems to really love making up stories. The raccoon made me a bit sad, they dip all their food in water before eating it. This was definitely interesting. Thank you for sharing with us ☺ better luck next time Sam.
I've NEVER heard it being called "Fairy Floss." Lmaooo John blew my mind 😂 Also, I LOVEEEE that word Laat Latmejie (Sorry if I spelled it wrong lmao). I'm gonna start using it. Hopefully we get it to be a common word here in the US 😂
Oh my god. I'm DYING. Tooth meat. I love it. I love John and Sam's reactions more. Can y'all just take a screengrab of the instant when realization dawned on the guys and use it in future episodes? That would legit make my life. Chantelle, more Afrikaans words, please! btw HI GUYS I've been MIA thanks to working my backside off but I'm home today with an injury so it's time to get caught up. =D
This was a lot of fun! I rather like the literal meaning of ghost breath! It makes it sound exciting!! I hadn’t seen the raccoon video so I’m glad the video editors were able to put the clip in to give context. As I had a friend who had a pet raccoon and growing up we often had a family of raccoons that visited our house to eat food and drink water left out for our cats whenever they didn’t come in before we went to bed, I know that it’s a habit for raccoons to naturally “wash” their food before eating it. Thus, the raccoon didn’t accidentally drop the cotton candy in the water, he was just trying to instinctively trying to wash it before eating it. Although, since I’ve never done that with cotton candy or gotten wet, I learned something new about cotton candy as well! So an all around very educational video for me on multiple fronts! :-)
I love videos like these! If you do this again could you throw in a word with lots of g's and r's, like geregitgheid? Should be fun to hear the guys trying to pronounce it.
Some of my favourites are: Stinkmuishond(stink-mouse-dog) = skunk Kameelperd (camel-horse) = giraffe Gatvol (hole-full) = totally fed up with something Windmeulvliegtuig (windmill-flying-machine) = helicopter
Another one that I get a laugh out of, is the Afrikaans word for mash potato&believe, the suiwer Afrikaans speaking don't even know lol. Another is mince (mince meat), & milkshake. It cracks me up everytime. Good representation Chantelle. I love it
Loving it! 😂 Suggestion for next 🇿🇦 episode: "Guess the animal." There are plenty of really random Afrikaans animal names that when directly translated, can make for hilarious reactions! 😜
The word Voetsek originates from the days before the automobile existed, Afrikaners in search of freedom used wagons pulled by oxen to move out from under British rule. The word voortwaards.....(meaning forward)..was used by the lad that would drive the oxen forward, he would also encourage his team of oxen at the same time with a long whip. So as he shouted woodward's he would crack the whip at the same time and the crack of the whip would replace the second part of voortwaards (the "waards" part) with a loud "ZEK" cracking sound. (The cracking sound of the whip) the combination of the two sounds ..........sounding like "voetsek" ....the word derives from a combination of voice and the sound of the whip......... and today it is one of the most used instructions in the Afrikaans vocabulary..........but it can easily be said....that today it is proudly used, and is certainly part of all the languages used in Southern Africa.
Chantelle check out the videos of Czech soccer player called Masepoust during the curent Euro qualifications. You'll can yourself listening to the commentator.
Always been one of the weird South Africans, but I always thought that that "v" word is a cuss word (and still do) so when I hear Chantelle mention it and not even say that it was a cuss word, I was shocked 😳. Love you guys
It's so interesting bcz 'laat lammetje' is smt we'd use in Dutch but as far as i know it isn't a saying in Dutch. Also we use tandvleis as well but we write it as tandvlees :)
Of course English has a word for "laat lammetjie"! We have many: afterthought, as in my brother was an afterthought; oops, as in I was an oops; unexpected, late blessing, and so on. I've also heard a surprise, late addition (to the family). One of my favourite English expressions for laat lammetjie, is from a friend of mine: When we first met he mentioned that there was a huge gap between him and his older siblings--12 years or so. I said to him, "Oh wow, so quite the laat lammetjie!" To which he replied, "Yeah, the last twinkle in my dad's eye." He had different ways of stating it: the last hurrah, and when drunk, many other terms that shouldn't be repeated in sober company.
I read it's mashed potato, is that correct? I might have guessed the second part because Erdapfel/Erdapple is a word for potato in German, but what about kapok? An ingredient, the way it looks, the way of preparing it?
Perhaps doing a video on interesting tongue twisters from each country, maybe Chantelle can do an afrikaans, zulu or xhosa one. My favourite is "Auntie Hettie my ma vra vir n bietjie suiker, as Auntie Hettie het nie Auntie Hettie moet se dat Auntie Hettie het nie" or "Sy se sy sal sewe sakke sout steel sonder suig. Hoendervleis (Chicken meat) = Goosebumps. Grand the videos guys a part two would be great from CPT
