Hineksa actually means food that contains carbs like rice, bread, breadfruit, potatoes, etc. But majority of the time, it's referred to as cooked rice.
Growing up as a young Chamorro. I never knew how to speak languages. My neighbors kid would laugh at me. So I ran home and told my mom. So she invite my aunts from melesso. So they thought me some basic languages. So as time goes. I was able to speak the Chamorro.
I'm from the Philippines and very similar words and culture! From where I'm from, we call uncooked riced "bugas". Just very interesting! We are after all one austronesian people! :D
Isnt that mysterious Clark? I wonder what country you both could have been a part of for four hundred and fifty years, so about 20 generations...that you sound similar...take a wild guess "clark"...
I'm dying!!! I'm carolinian and I understood but then again its understandable because there are also some carolinian kids that dont speak or write. But they can understand. 'Come under the tent' answer just topped it all off lmao. I love all the vids! Haven't been home in a while so seeing home in your vids makes my day!
Guam and chamorro language are part of the AUSTRONESIAN FAMILY ♥️ which comprises from southeast asian austronesians (malayo-polynesian) upto the easter islands (rapa nui) on the pacific and madagascar (bahasa malagasy) island on east africa... WE ARE AUSTRONESIAN ♥️
It’s confusing what race are Guam people..it’s weird like it’s in Micronesia but it’s a USA territory, the people have American accents ,they look kind of Polynesian / Hispanic, yet the language is kind of like a mixture of Indonesian/Spanish/Polynesian..it’s a wierd culture like I don’t know how to identify it..
@@D-Rizzle653 well guam was colonized by spaniards and americans so ? and the languages are similar because we come from the austronesian peoples, where some polynesians also come from
Chamorro language isnt the same language spoken before the arrival of the Spanish. Its a mix of Filipino and Spanish that evolved into what it is today... c'mon guys.
4:58 - 5:12 Funniest thing ever! "Stinky".. LOL LOL.. LOL.. ... I remembered my grandma used to say that word to my my cousin when we were younger... Too FUNNY! GREAT VIDEO..
👍🏼good video idea. I knew some 😅Dam when I was younger, I used to be soo good when it come to Chamorro stuffs. I’ve been gone tooooo long that I’ve lost half of what I knew lol
@@WE670 no doubt it'll be entertaining and educational... classic love songs played at every wedding, funny party songs everyone chacha's to, and even chamorro christmas music
I know how you feel so I’m more the same way both my parents are chamorro and surprisingly I’m more chamorro due to Saipan (father) from what my cousin says but back on track I know very few words but that why I’m finna do the most rational thing which is learn my language so yeet

@@Mobutusese the similarity such as "bugas" is not because of the Spanish though, it's way before than that
"BIGAS"
@@Bro1774 In Iloilo, where we speak Hiligaynon, it is bugas. And I think also in Bisaya/Cebuano 🙂
@@Bro1774 in Tagalog, we say "bigas", I think among Visayans they say "bugas". Meanwhile, in Indonesian, they say "beras".
You two are AWESOME!!! Don’t give up, No shame in the “trying” game!

Greetings from Malaysia 👋.. We're also Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of Austronesian...

Its kinda similar to Filipino Language idk why but i kinda understand it

Chamorro language isnt the same language spoken before the arrival of the Spanish. Its a mix of Filipino and Spanish that evolved into what it is today... c'mon guys.
To build on this, I would suggest you can do a segment in your videos to teach a different chamorro word each time!
ahhh love you Mark!

Kutura is equal to “Kultura” in the Philippines which means the same “culture”
I'm Filipina but I guess I absorbed enough as a kid to figure out some of this. Especially puppy and WE670 😂
It’s ok guys I used to be in Guam for about ten almost my whole life and I could only say around 25 words and 4 fiths are numbers
👍🏼good video idea. I knew some 😅Dam when I was younger, I used to be soo good when it come to Chamorro stuffs. I’ve been gone tooooo long that I’ve lost half of what I knew lol
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah, sure thing. THAT is the reason you are so familiar with rainbow 😂
Woooooooo represent us par (also every one has a friend named isa or tåsi at some point)
My husband lives on the island do you know him amjad farhoud
Is it important to know how to speak in Chamorro when you are in Saipan?
Not really, I’m from Saipan and Chamorro isn’t that common, more as English and Asian languages are used.
I’m more Filipino than I am Chamorro,japanese,and white 😂
good video! suggest you try guessing chamorro songs next
Good idea! That would be hilarious lol
@@WE670 no doubt it'll be entertaining and educational... classic love songs played at every wedding, funny party songs everyone chacha's to, and even chamorro christmas music
Ashley is gorgeous!
I can tell when you said chada is stinky, I bet the elderly were referring to something else.
What island you are you guys from? Or do you know where your ancestors lived
Awesome thanks but it always been charming gril land thing song by fog got singer 😅 real she is the land of guam shape ❤❤
"FISH!?" Lol!
I spoke too soon! Very entertaining... reminds me of my Zion.
Pau chada (stinky eggs. Like balut).
Deska 😂😂
Doesn't some words mean different from other islands?
Yes it does
Chamorus from saipan use some different words then Chamorus in Rota, tinian, and guam
I know how you feel so I’m more the same way both my parents are chamorro and surprisingly I’m more chamorro due to Saipan (father) from what my cousin says but back on track I know very few words but that why I’m finna do the most rational thing which is learn my language so yeet
I grew up in the states and I don't know the language either. After watching this I don't feel so bad 😂😭
