After my Masai Kenyan spouse died of cancer in 2019, I traveled to Botswana for a conference. I met a beautiful Tswana woman, a lawyer whom I eventually married in November, 2021. Good people, quiet and peaceful nation. Peace be upon Botswana forever.
Awww sorry about your first wife and thank God you are finally blessed with the best no doubt motswana women are so calm and peaceful . thank you so much 😊
Peace
But why will you worry about a country which is not your next-door,please when you have a problem with a country which is not yours stay at your country and remember we don't need you here you just come uninvited,look how you are forcing yourself in sa please visit Cameroon is near you
@@goitsefamily6726 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Your accent and many of those people in Western Africa is truly a struggle for many of us in the Southern part of Africa
Right 😃
Very true very funny accent
Because of you I've come to love Botswana.
yea
Southern Africa is beauty, especially the triangle Botswana 🇧🇼, Namibia 🇳🇦 and South Africa 🇿🇦,,, you so beautiful queen...
I am a Motswana the "sorry" part killed me, so true.😂
😆😆😆
@@helengeorgeslifestylecan I be your friend plz?
It is cold here yes, infact today snow fell in Maunatlala and parts of central regions of Botswana.. Snow and/or heavy hail
Glad you are now part of the culture!
Yes oo thank you sir 🥰
Your content is always pure. Love you for that
Thank you peace 💕💕
Welcome sister to Botswana, started watching your videos I hope you have a wonderful stay and be blessed..
I'll be coming soon.. I need a good community to help me settle down
Looking forward to some winter videos
Here in the UK we are also not allowed 🚫 to with a child in front and sit belt it's a must I am very impressed with this country Botswana very organised considering being in Africa 🌍 👏🏾
Considering being in Africa? That is the mistake people make about Africa. You all think we are very different from you but let me ask you this question, can you do business with monkeys in the jungle? There is your answer. When Europe colonised us, she also was FORCED to bring us to a level where she can do business with us. So it is propaganda to say that we are backwards. It doesn't serve the West to leave us underdeveloped because she needs a market for her products. Don't let people make a fool out of you by selling you lies. Africa is not too far behind you, trust me.
Yes oo mummy Jane Botswana is well organized if every African country can be like that we will change the perceptive. Thank you for watching mummy Jane I appreciate your support ❤️💕
Africa is organised, it's just a few countries like Nigeria where such thing may not be an offence. Here in Zimbabwe you are also advised to let them seat at the back seat even if the front seat is vacant.
What really prompted my response was your statement, 'considering being in Africa', wtf the MSM really brainwashed you.
@@auspiciousnkomo3071 exactly she didn't have to say considering being in Africa

it's a bit cooler in southern Botswana compared to North
Wow okay . thanks for always watching ogone 💕
"sorry" is cut off from "sorry to disturb you,but may you....." that's usually the context we say it in. ❤ I absolutely love your channel ma'am
Thanks for stopping by Tshepo💞
Madam you funny sha.
I laugh no be small.
I would love to do a feature where i talk about my interactions and experiences engaging Nigerian people, for the sake of diversity,, studied in China since 2017 and made a lot of Nigerian friends mostly Hausa(sp),Yuruba and ibu... Lets give back to the Nigerian people too.
Ok that would be nice are you a mostwana?
You are naughty 😜
It is called Igbo. I mean the ethnic group you wanted to mention.
This is truly hilarious 😂 🤣🤣🤣. The command part I've heard before from a friend who is Zimbabwean. Really enjoyed this
😂😂 thanks for watching
As a Nigerian that grew up in Botswana I very much can relate 😅
I so much love you video is awesome and is giving me a lot of guidance if I come
I believe that Nigerians are behaving well there
My dear, in southern Africa that is how we pronounce words. In Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa.
Oh okay that is fine
I mean yeah the Southern African countries have a lighter accent more especially Botswana & South Africa. Other African countries use a heavy accent like the West African countries.
We struggle with the heavy Western African countries accent like for real
Serious 😀
@@helengeorgeslifestyle yep....not always easy to grasp the accent from West Africa or any country beyond the Equator
We all have heavy accents. We are Africans
@@activeobserver1150Southern Africans generally don't. Trust me.
"The tomato is too big for one Naria":-D I'm dead
Baby seat at the back. Seat belt. Botswana has international standards for sure. Big up to them.
😄🤣😄🤣 is Botswana not abroad? You are so funny . Currency was also my struggles when i traveled out
Don’t mind them Botswana no do them awww adapting to new currency is always hard I’m not alone 😀
See my student ooo... ah you're doing well Helen. I brag differently because of you.
Haaaaa my head be swelling 💃💃 thank you Teacher you are the best 🙌❤️❤️
I am understanding you ooo
Motswana here!😂 i agree with you with the “must” word it does sound like a command! I don’t understand why they use it like that😂
😂
😂😂 “I am not Dan” 🤣😂
I am not Dan oo I am George 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Haha 😄
😂 😂 😂 Love you ❤️
I love you too kimmy 💕
All the east Africa and Southern Africa have the same accent especially Lesotho
😂😂😂I enjoyed this 😂but sometimes I feel that we Batswana are too peaceful and we just let things slide.. we don’t like confrontation btw 😂
I once argued with an old Motswana woman in Francistown. It's like she had a chip on her shoulder . I walked away as fast as I can and disappeared in a nearby mall. That's when I realized Namibia is blessed with cool and patient people. In Namibia, people get amused and sorry for you. No hard feelings.
@@Accuface2000 not everyone is cool and patient in Namibia btw, same as here. No hard feelings 😏
@keoneeG - Namibians have a different nature - Liberal, playful, curious, understanding, forgiving, engaging and slow to anger. They love a bit of openness, assertiveness and outspokenness. Same cannot be said about Botswana. Totally different people. It's like they will crucify you. Namibia is westernized and diverse culturally, there is a large white population here, so people are more open.
@@Accuface2000 Lol 💀
Batswana are generally, not all , note that, peaceful people. Even this video is about Batswana. I don’t even know why we are arguing about Namibians. But one thing I know there is no nation in this earth where the people are 100% good, otherwise you wouldn’t have prisons in Namibia. And I don’t dispute that they’re not generally good. And you cannot use one awful experience you had in Botswana to generalize their character.
I'm happy that no one told you to go back to your country...One Love Botswana
They are so open minded unlike some African that are sadist small criticism go back to your country lol. But they’re in others country criticizing too. lol
Yup
Congratulations on 600 subscribers
Yes 🙌 yes 🙌 Thank you 😊
🤣🤣😂😂take a shot every time she says done
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for telling the world how to prepare before travelling to Botswana. Africa south of the equator is different from the north. Everything you said is truth, but when you said it, it sounded strange. HAHAHAHA
😄😄💕
Excuse me is for when we sneeze 🤣🤣
How long have you be en in Botswana?
I have saw your video now
Lmao I am so happy that you I came across your channel, you are hilarious. I am a South African Tswana and there are quite a lot of similarities between SA and Bots. Please continue these videos. I love them!
Hi Olerato💕 thank you boo and welcome to the channel 💕
Olerato u don't call yourself tswana .you are motswana Biko
@@ketimetsekgosiemang872 Is it not a tribe? Therefore making me part of it?
@@oleratontlailane6371 kene kere fela ore "MO"tswana ako fela oe bue ka setswana o utlwe ,o mokae mma? Ke tswana 😁
@@ketimetsekgosiemang872 Lmao I get what you are saying, but my sentence was in English akere. In Setswana in makes perfect sense, in English, not so much
😂😂😂this is funny. Batswana use must properly. Must isn’t a command. It expresses necessary personal obligation. -have to. -have to- signals obligation from authority. In fact when the teacher tells your kids ‘your mother must’ they are trying to be considerate of families which cannot meet that obligation. Good observation.
Wow! Now I get it from your view and it makes so much sense 😮 thanks for this small lecture Bolivia 💕
West African in America here. "done, come, some.... I pronounced like in Botswana, South Africa and Zambia 😁😁😁. Baby also sit in the back, seat belt mandatory
bostwana has the same ascent with south africa
Hallo darling the 'MUST' is only from lack of understanding LOL! Its especially said by little kids if u'll notice ❤
Yes kids say it more 😂
My dear sister, I want my brother to come over please can you tell me how to go about the visa stuff
the word "must " in Botswana signifies the seriousness of what you are talking about.
Okay in Nigeria it means a command and it’s rude to use must
I agree with you Mrs George, its rude to ask for something using the word must. That's really a commanding word no matter where you are. We misuse the word
@@MrMoreri Very true. Musr is certainly a command.
The accent is similar to that of ghanians from how you pronounced it.. I had issues with ghanian accent when I came to ghana.. when a lecturer said blaad I got confused.. little did I know it was blood.. Ghanaians love speaking their language to ask a lecturer question in the classroom..and lecturer will reply with their language regardless of whether foreigners are there..
sometimes you run out of english
@@ogone1465 😂😂😂
Exactly Botswana pronounce blood as blaad too 🤦♀️ their language is so dear to them eveywhere 😀
That’s rude many people especially foreigners who schools there have been saying that. Local language is for your household not in school
@@yesohyes9198 go to France and tell them they shouldn't speak French in school and see what they tell you.
😂😂😂. I struggled with all this things aa well Must...sorry...and borrow me instead of lend me. Today i speak like that.
😀😀 yea borrow me 🤣 we are in this together oo 😅
I am living in America, i must have not any problem to understand, now i am learning the Nigerian accent too because i work with lot of Nigerian, now when i talk the believe i am from Nigeria too.
Hey funny lady. This sounds like some very humorous anecdotes on the experience of cultural adjustment. I know I found it entertaining 😂😂😂 If you get a chance I might suggest that you check out some episodes of Family Feud when Steve Harvey took the program to Africa. They can be seen on TH-cam. From a very well entertained viewer in the US 😂 🇺🇲
😂 okay i would check that out thank you so much for watching and cheering me on 😃
@@helengeorgeslifestyle fo sho
P1000 is equivalent to 1000 Naira 😂😂😂😂 you've earned my subscription.
😂 thank you so much ❤️
Really??? It's cold in Botswana??? Woow! Never knew o! Was thinking is the normal Nigerian weather
For where hmmm it’s very cold here oo
Yes Botswana has four seasons. I have Nigerian friends & some thinks whatever is happening in Nigeria is the same as Botswana which is very untrue. Totally different.
Helen I love your channel ❤️. Wish to meet you when home in Botswana 🇧🇼 ❤️
Please I want to migrate to Botswana from Nigeria I need your help and directions
Lol@ yea yea
😂😂😅😂
Done🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video hope to work with you some days on TH-cam 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦💪💪
usually we say "excuse me" when we are around someone or people and we do something considered disgusting, for example, burping,farting...it is used as an ask to be pardoned after doing a not so pleasant behaviour. also others would say, "excuse my language", perhaps if they spoke an insult or about to use an offensive word. another way to use excuse me is to ask for a person's attention,if you wish for them to make way you add onto that and say "excuse me,can I pass" aka "sorry,can I pass". most literate Batswana actually acknowledges must as a command because we are taught so in school, but how it's used most of the time is a matter of broken English- improper use of the word.
👌💕
Excuse me is meant to gain someone's attention after that you tell them what you want🇧🇼
Okay im learning thank you lorra 💕
I think 'Must' is used by people who are not fluent in English
Yeah true. That word is used to command so it isnt suppose to be used haphazardly
if i am blocking your way and you say 'sorry', i let you pass. If you say 'excuse me', i stop (still blocking your way), look at you and expect you to say something like 'hey can you help me here'.
###that part had me laughing but thats how it is most of the time
Yeah like for me wen i say excuse me i feel some bit of audacity in it but wen i say sorry i just feel that warness or heart felt gesture i even see smiles and pleasant gesture wen I say sorry can i pass. Eish excuse me is so heavy on me like seriously 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry hoo can I pass 😂😂😂
Am sorry 😂😂😂
But it snows here in Namibia and South Africa, come make a turn sweetie...
Are you ' Dan ' ??? 😂😂😂 English in all its wonderful and idiosyncratic dialects and variances 🇺🇲
I'm not Dan ooo 😂
😃😃😃😃
😀😀 Hi mummy jane 🥰🥰
But they have a American accent so American won’t have problem with their accent thank you for let us know love ❤️
Helen .. Excellent piece. As a Muzungu in London I have to listen more closely to Nigerian English accents, even tho I have had the pleasure and honour of many interactions with Nigerian people.
I've been to Ghana and Botswana, Uganda and Kenya. Botswanan is closer to UK English at least aurally IMO.
Really good video.
I enjoy language and accents in general.
As an English Man it's fascinating to sample so many different World wide interpretations of the language we proudly gave to the World.
Sadly nowadays some people would describe the above compliment as having "Colonial" connotations
Do you have an actor inside you?
😂😂😂 it’s the last question for me 😂 thank you so much for engaging 💕
U could certainly be a performer 🇧🇼🇬🇧🇳🇬
@@graemeyetts3465, I Zambia we also say muzungu.in Zimbabwe they say murungu.
@graemeyetts3465 - You are exaggerating. Kenya, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa speak proper English. West Africa, not so much. Pegion /Creole English is common there.
😂😂😂Excuse yourself😂😂.. That one you nailed it sisi.. But I think BW replaced "excuse me with "askies"... If we don't say sorry' we say askies"
😅 Oh okay I’m learning 😮 thank you sisi 🥰
Hahaa "askies" is borrowed from "excuse" you know how Africans destroy English😅imagine your pigeon English 🤦♀️🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 as for"chineeke" word 😂😂😂 i use to hear that word mostly in Nigerian movies/dramas😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yeh what does it mean 🤔
@@sunnyweather8464 chineke means “God”
Yes ooo you are right half of Nigerian movies you will just be hearing chineke chineke 😀
Don't forget the accent struggle is both ways. They were also struggling with your accent 😅
Am not Dan am George 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Abakiliki woman😂
Na cry remain for you ooo 😅
On the "Must" the did you dirty, must is a command, we ask, I'm a Motswana, but if anyone comes to me with a must, I'll flip.
🤣🤣 but i dont think they see it as "command" i know they dont mean to command but eish i struggled with that especially when its coming from children 🤦♀️😀😀
I agree with you in some other words but not you must! I think kids can talk like that
Nigeria's pronouncation of words very funny 😂
Right😂😂
What is there in Botswana is same here in SA 🇿🇦
Is bostwana good for business?
The must part, I don't believe it, I'm a Motswana and I haven't heard anyone say I must give them something, probably those you met don't know English well, especially kids
I hear that alot both from kids and adults
BUT EVEN IN SOUTH AFRICA 'MUST IS USED A LOT'. WE HARDLY USE 'SHOULD'.
"must ke cheke bana".."must ke ye lapeng"..I think you've heard it in passing but didn't pay too much attention to it. we use .just quite alot, o don't even notice just how much I say.. Even when I agree with something someone says, I would say "yah, must"..and that's it
