As a South African I always find it interesting to hear the international community saying Tyla's accent has Indian influences in it when ironically you'll never come accross a South African born Indian person sounding like her, South African Indians have their own very distinct accent. But I can see why to outsiders the SA Coloured accent may sound similar to Indian accent, the inflections and enunciation.
Honestly she sounds very south african.. afrikaans accent.. I used to also think her (and other ppl I watch w her accent) had an indian + african blend but truth is its really just afrikaans/south african. This is what they sound like, and not just british like others might be reminiscent of.. its jist us outside of South Africa arent familiarised with their accemts and we only see similarities with indian+general african/caribbean
@@Ohnoooo553 I think the confusion is when people hear Indian ancestory, they think India the country instead just an ethnicity within SA. Tyla is what South Africans call coloured (yes, it's an actual race group and no, it's not a slur for black or mixed people) so her ancestory can be traced back to different ethnicities, including Mauritian on her dad's side but that's not why she sounds like that. Her accent is part of what makes the coloured communinity distinct and unique as a culture of South Africa, along with their traditions and customs. When people keep dismissing that and calling her Indian/ black, they are erasing who she is as a person and invaliding our history and diversity as South Africans.
@@kishinumaayumi Yes, 100% it's definitely a variation of the Afrikaans accent because that would be a home language for coloured South Africans, very similar but not identical to white Afrikaaner accent, who also speak Afrikaans. And yes, most of us who grew up in SA post 1994 have a very neutral accent (think Trevor Noah) that sometimes outsiders think is British, which is surprising coz it's very very different to actual British accent.
@gigigee8198 true. She is also still really young too. Im 29 and never been more than 110-120lbs at 5'6 even while eating 3 meals a day with snacks. So yes, genes can be a huge factor. Also if both her parents are athletic [like my parents] its easy to shed weight and gain muscle too. Most people should really look at their parents for guidance on how to handle their weight. Whether big or small.
The sweet that she tasted is way too much syrup and it’s literally just a plain donut. I don’t like that either, too plain but too sweet at the same time. Nothing special
Some people like sweet food but not that sweet. Traditional asian dessert especially have a thing where less sweet desserts are the best. While food these days are gates to diabetes.
I’m also South African and I hate koeksisters. There wayyy too sweet. For example at my school during Afrikaans week they always gave us either koeksisters or milk tarts so I always end up giving my koeksister away 😅
@@CincoandBellasupporter16 Yes. But what is she mixed with. Saying she's coloured doesn't tell us anything. Your still saying she's mixed but in the actual term that is used. Like I'm mixed so if I went to SA I would be considered coloured
Agreed, but She looks indian though....but I m aware, she is only ethnically indian, as her family is Mauritian where the Dominant ethnicity is indian....but she is south African as a person/personality 😁 interesting to see such people
Theres koeksisters like those and then Koesiestas that are a sweet potato dough, donut rolled in coconut that are the original treat. Both are great though 😅
She says as a kid she likes eating sweets but now she likes eating nuts more. Also I kind of agree with Tyla. I am not a fan of koeksisters. There is just something about the flavour I don't like.
@@nevaehramsey6667Ikr these comments are so disgusting but also she said she doesn't like only type of sweet. I know she likes chocolate sk if she keeps over eating chocolate their point falls flat. People are so dim Istg
