Friendly Sri Lankan Lady Calls Me Fat (TWICE) 🇱🇰
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- When I visited Sri Lanka about a year ago I met Thilini, a friendly Sri Lankan lady that runs a juice shop in Negombo, Sri Lanka. Of course when I returned to Negombo I had to go and say hi to her.
After that I made my way to Ratnapura with my own tuktuk from tuktukrental.com
When I took a break a friendly family invited me into their house for some tea and homemade biscuits.
Eventually after a long drive from Negombo to Ratnapura I made it to my hotel with a gorgeous view.

Thilini is still sweet though 🤣
The cute fruit is called rambutan
You are right. @@dianach-fl7fw
You are not fat tim😂❤️
@@dianach-fl7fwhere in srilanka also we are calling the same name 😊
@@ontheway172 yes I know😃
Greeting from Indonesia
By saying you are fat, she did not mean that you are actually fat. It means that you are healthy.
yah fam. aunties, grandmas always say it.
it's similar to how one would say, "you look well"
Sri lanka student of Japan ..
You raised the our country proud ...
Proud of you bro....
Definitely
When south Asians say you have gotten fat, it often suppose to be a compliment. Thank you for being nice to everyone wherever you go.
You are really talkative and I love your interaction with the locals!
In fact, you are not very fat. What the lady said can only mean that you were very thin before, so don’t worry!
She is very friendly and I hope her business will get better and better and Sri Lanka's economy will get better!
Good things will happen to kind people, and your meeting that family is the best proof!
Their house is so cozy and I love their chairs, they look great!
It seems like you have to go back to Sri Lanka every year,
because you meet new families and when you leave you always say that maybe I will come back to see them next year, which is also a good thing!
It seems that driving a tuk-tuk is very convenient when traveling in Sri Lanka on rainy days, thank you very much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏
1) In Sri Lanka, saying "you've put on" is actually a compliment, unlike in Europe 😆
2) The person offering tea assumed you were from Australia.
3) Tea is consumed in two ways: with milk (milk tea) and without (plain tea).
4) The fruit you tried was Rambutan, similar to Lychee.
Nope, being called fat is an insult.
Please read again or if English is not your mother tongue use Google translate. thank you
@@realDunalTrimp If a Sri Lankan says "Ohh you have become slim" then that means that person don't like you. If a Sri Lankan says "You've put on some weight", then that means they likes you. It's complement. Don't ever say to a Sri Lankan "You have became skinny". Lol. They consider it as offensive because becoming skinny is considered as a sign of poorness. Having a full body is considered as a sign of prosperity. I'm a Sri Lankan.
not in Sri Lanka@@realDunalTrimp
But for a Westerner, it is not a compliment to be called fat @nazir-ahmed24
10.00 to 20.36. We must thank this wonderful family. They showed our hospitality. It is really nice of you.
23:30 සුද්දට දීපිය බටේ 😂😂
ඔව් යකෝ😂😂😂😂
හැට්ස් oෆ්ෆ්ෆ් for that Japan dude❤
සුද්දට දිපිය බටේ they were ඔනස්ට් ඇට් දර් ප්රයිස් අලොසො❤❤
Inorder for a western person to understand & appreciate Sri Lanka, They should visit other Asian countries and spend time there. Then they would know how unique & different Sri Lanka is. Let me know what you think and if I’m wrong.
Haha I love how he has frequent flashbacks of Thilini calling him fat 😂. She just meant that you look healthier than before lol
Man this is sooo good, you are doing great job mate, wish you all the best, seeing my own country like this makes me feel the love for Sri Lanka and nature ❤
Thanks for coming back. I enjoy your videos. I will go one day to this juice place because of you.
Srilanka people are very hospitality
That house is really so grand and those folks so warm and hospitable.....loved their garden too.
You are making great videos,Tim....keep it up !❤
Negombo is my town . I live in a suburb of Negombo. I have been watching your videos since you came to Srilanka for the first time. I am very sad to hear and see that young entrepreneurs like her have been badly affected by this collapsed economy. I remember in the last video she mentioned that she had two more shops but now she has only one , very sad to hear that.
Only negombo is badly effected due to ripping off tourists by all businessess. Food drinks and accommodation. Now because of heigh ways in operation most tourists preffer other cities, Colombo, South,kandy, and Ella,
People of negombo think tourists are walking ATM,
That's WHAT ALL FORING FRIENDS
AND TOURISTS TELLS ME .
I AM ALWAYS WORKING WITH TOURISTS.
ALSO NEGOMBO IS WITH FULL OF THEIVES,DRUG DEALERS AND ADIICTS😂& SCAMMERS.
ALSO FILTHIEST STREETS , PEOPLE THROW GARBAGE ALL OVER . UNLIKE OTHER CITIES IN SRI LANKA. 😂
Tha family are really so kind 😇 respect 🙏 🫡 for that family ❤
(තිළිණි.. මේ අහිංසක මනුස්සට ඔයා ඇයි එහෙම කිව්වෙ? 😂) Tilini.. Why did you say that to this innocent man?😂 Watch the full video first. Second, continue to see the special statement of Thilini who is not fat in our country. - 5:22 , 6:50 , 6:54 , 17:46 , 21:42 , 22:04 , 22:57 , 24:54 😂❤

Poor thilini 😅 You can remember her everyday now
She's sooo nice! and that family is amazing! We're are lucky to have people like her and that lovely family in Sri Lanka
Bro, Don't use 95 Octane. These tuktuk engines haven't design for 95 Octane. So it gives same performance as 92 Octane. If you refill with 95 Octane it will be a waste of money.
Waited for this vedio ❤❤ superb
Sri lankan living in Europe. Calling someone Fat is not considered offensive in Sri lanka. Sometimes it can be a compliment too. I know it can be offensive in Europe.
That chips thing you had at that house is called breadfruit (Del) common in Africa and Hawaii
wow grate video, thank your for helping people to build there small business as well ✌
You are not fat, I repeat you are not fat. Thanks for the - never a dull moment -video. All the best. I will say again and again you are not....but it looks like Thilini has put on ...I will stop there ...yes,Thilini is sweet ..you know why because of all that delicious fruits in that shop..and you are sweet too because of the juices you drink...next time when you meet Thilini don't tell her that I told you that she has put on weigh_, twice. How cruel I am.. my parrot says cruel Castro ,cruel Castro. Next time when I visit Negombo I won't go anywhere near her shop.
Poor Tim,Thilini breaks Tim's heart twice. If you visit that shop again she will say what she said...thrice.
My parrot says, fat cruel Castro...three times.
Most Sri Lankans consider getting chubbier as a way of them being successful. It may have originated from old age since we had a lot of families living in rural areas where people had a hard time finding food, and if someone is successful and good with money, they get to eat a lot of food as they want. I don't know if this is entirely correct.
I just wanted to point out the fact that she wasn't disrespecting him at all.
@@malanbandara, While in the west the opposite is probably true. The poorer you are the fatter you tend to be. All that cheap fast food packs on the pounds.
Wow, that's great that I had to learn that.Thank you for sharing.@@truebelief3631
Wooooow you are amazing Brother ❤🎉
I'm so happy to say I'm your subscriber 😊 proud of you 👏❤
Thank you Tim..❤
What she meant was that you have gained weight. Saying "you have become fat" in Sri Lanka does not necessarily mean you are fat; it means that you have gained weight. She compared how you looked previously when you last visited her place to your present appearance. There is nothing to be concerned about Tim, especially in your case.
Danke Tim. Du bist tolles Mensch
23.34 සුද්දට දීපිය බටේ 😂💔
What a video 🫠 woah ❤️
I love these local folk. They're soo sweet n friendly.
11:58 පිස්සු කරන්න එපා...🤣❤
😅😂
suddta dipiya bate qwa ykoooo@@ChamikaSrimantha
ආතල් ඕයි 😂😂
😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅
Tim, just Try Green Acres Hotel if you can... It has the most beautiful view i have ever seen.. Just try.. ❤
You guy awesome man ❤
Amazing hospitality 🇱🇰
❤❤❤you are good man great works❤❤❤
You are not fat 😂❤❤
Love youŕ videos in srilanka...very informative
Nice video.the way you eat #rabutan 😊 cute.stay safe buddy 💞
Thank you for this video, but I see often that food sellers in Sri Lanka dont use any désinfection or even gloves while selling food. This guy prepeared mango with his hands even without washing them..Is there some special ritual or you simply dont afraid of germs or bacteria, cause there is a very hot weather...and..it just makes me to pose this question)). Thank you. :)
Thanks for your comment! I must say after traveling so long I think my stomach got pretty strong. Lately I rarely get sick. Knock on wood! I also try to pay attention to where I buy food. If the place looks a bit too dodgy I would definitely skip it!
If you come ratnapura ,dont forget to going gem market and visit gem miners .
You are not fat Tim ❤ but thilini is very funny 😅
I really admire you brother because I know you are a good man❤❤❤ God bless you always.
Soooo sweet family I love them
15.56 i can feel you bro.. "ano" දීර්ඝ කාලයක් ජපන් සිටිමේ ප්රතිඵල...😂 ❤ 🥰
Hi mr legend.....
Driving a tuk tuk ...... nice 👍
Thanks sir for visit srilanka again again ❤
You are a great person bro
Hi Tim i think the tuk tuk you drive first time keep safe journey
Fantastic vedio
who advised you to use octane 95 petrol for the three wheeler? I have never seen anyone using 95 for three wheelers.
Hi Tim,
From one legend to another trust you enjoy your explorations and look forward to more chatty videos😊
Great nice to see you again in Sri Lanka Gentleman ❤❤
❤❤❤. Where are the places that you visit this time???
Welcome to sri lanka ❤🇱🇰
like her honesty
Welcome to Sri Lanka.👍👍👍🙏
tip to shop: keep the straws on counter so people can grab with their own fingers. lot of foreigners dont like when their straw is touched by other people's fingers. cute shop by the way..good luck
If you think of hiking try Narangala hills in Badulla. And also Namunukula
After Sri lanka , which country do you want to visit ?........
She is so nice.love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️
happy to see Thillini throughout the video .
Your explanation is very good and u are a nice guy
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate that!
If a Sri Lankan says "Ohh you have become slim" then that means that person don't like you. If a Sri Lankan says "You've put on some weight", then that means they likes you. It's complement.
20:33 Hospitality is best way ..... 🎉
You are Awesome Mr Tim❤
Thanks for that!❤
She means no disrespectful. In Sri Lanka, people dont see calling each others fat much of a big deal.. They mean well most of the times. In this video, she is not being rude, trust me. She means well. Not trying to body shame or anything. That is how it is in different cultures.
Super vidiyo ❤
If you are going to Rathnapura, Go to Sri Paada. (aka Adams peak)
Thilini changed your life😂
Next time he comes to SL he’ll be toned like a model because of the trauma Thilini gave him 😂
First view!
Dear Tim,
In Sri Lanka, if someone you know says ' you have gained weight '. Just take it as a compliment. Because that means ' you are healthy and happy and therefore you have gained a little weight.'❤
that tukt tuk looks pretty new ay, nice
If come our aera near to rathnapua name call balangoda lotof woter fall lake very think have
That fruit you tried to open with so much effort is called Rambutan😌
Hi Tim
Ratnepura is called city of gems
Please ask some one and visit a gem mine
They are everywhere
HI, the fruits is not lycee, it is rambutan, a tropical fruits, you can googled it... the way you ate it was correct, either just put the whole and spit out the seed or just take bit by bit around the seed...either way is fine.
A tropical fruit. In Malaysia we call it "Rambutan". "Rambut" = hair. Hairy fruit. Bite the skin to break it.
Same in SL as well. I think we got some varieties of Rambutan from Malaysia
Hi Tim. I was watching your video when you went to m&m cool bar she was saying you fat. I’m pretty sure she didn’t mean bad. This is how they talk. I’m sure you probably know the culture there.
when you come back to Colombo ?
Who visited this channel by assuming this guy as Harrold bold
Good video
welcome to Sri Lanka 🤝❤❤😍
Nice video ❤ 🇱🇰
Cost of tuk tuk rental & your itinerary?
Hello Tim thank you for your vidéo. Vous n'arrivez pas à avaler ceux que Thilini a dit 😂😂. She said in good way 🙂
Mooi stad. Negim😢. War woen je in België 🇧🇪 . Ik heb ben Brugge
Legenddddd...
#truelegendt
Negombo best place very good people always best 🤣negombo one best place people amazing
I love your traveling, be careful with tuk-tuk, it is not you, but the other road users. Undisciplined and ill-trained. Lots of thanks to the people who show their hospitality.
Finally dog follow you tim😂❤ welcome to sri lanka brother.❤️
You have to bite the rambutan a little bit at the top, which makes it easier to peel the skin apart. Then the whole middle part goes in your mouth & you chew away until only the seed is left.
30:36 The fruit is called Rambutan in Malaysia.....
It is known as Rambutan in Sri Lanka as well.
Hello tim ❤🍻
That fruits call rambutan
U can find them in thailand amd srilanka
U eat it right way
U can eat only white part
Is very easy to open with your nail ❤
Unusual hot weather here these days.
Hi tim ❤️
This is lot of Sri Lankan Hospitality, don’t forgot dear…….
