You funny yazi😂😂😂. Everybody living in SA , coming from Weat Africa is doing these type of videos about S.A. But wena you are funny and the way you approach this, is so unique.
It's so interesting to know that "neh" is used by south africans too, because in brazilian portuguese we use this same expression for the same meaning 😯 It's like "you're coming, neh?" as in "you're coming, right?". Which in brazilian portuguese it would be "você vem, né?" as in "você vem, certo?"
Juliana! Omgggg it has been a while! Hope all is well. 💕 Good to see you in the comments again. This is so interesting! Neh, né… Germans use it too, according to another comment. We are all one 😁
Well the dutch settlers brought dutch there which evolved to Afrikaans. Afrikaans is old dutch mixed with Portuguese and various African languages so I think the black South Africans adopted the "neh". Europeans adopted some words from our languages and vice versa.
Love you when you show that as South Africans we respect Africans and expect Africans to be Africans. We respect our languages more than those from European nations.
😂😂😂😂 'must' is too heavy, yoh. I really understand your partner 😂😂. When somebody says 'you must do this or that', it's just like they are giving orders.
jaa neh , our usage of "must " is a national crisis that needs to be addressed . but thank you "sisi" or should i say sister for making us laugh at our self. you are a very funny and beautiful soul. keep it up
Sisi means girl/woman, has nothing to do with complexion. I swear our obsession with skin colour will be the end of us as black people. Anyways great video ❤️
LOL this was actually hilarious. Also, the “you are Nigerian” assumption🤦🏽♀️ It’s just tiring. And I love how when they meet you they don’t ask what country you’re from, they get right into the “what state/tribe in Nigeria are you from”😂. Just lovely.
OK first of all, you look beautiful. And yes, you do look and sound Nigerian. I lived in South Africa for 16 years. No doubt its a beautiful country. But just like every other country including my beloved Naija, has its flaws. Topic for another day. So yeah, I enjoyed ur innocent and open minded view of Cape Town / South Africa. . I could relay to most of the things you said when I newly came. Good a thing you kept the video simple, funny and educative. Thinking of subscribing to your channel, if for nothing else, just to see ur smile once more.
"You must or must not do anything ooh, but please bring salt". 🤣🤣Honestly, you're too much. And I've noted the RRrrrrrrrr in South Africans too. It's deep! Thanks for giving us a more insights into both Cameroonian and SA cultures
Hahahaha I’m glad you took it positively. Some people took it negatively. But I have lots of Zim friends so that’s why I was emphasising so they know I’m looking at them hahahaha
Mutombo - I love your content. Suggestion: It doesn't really matter where you find yourself. I think it's still important for the preservation of culture of which language is a part of that in your home, your parents should continue speaking to you in your mother tongue. I am Zambian and have lived in SA for 30 years now and my kids can speak Silozi which is my mother tongue. On the whole! This is a lovely video.
Silozi... I'm fascinated by that language. I've read about its similarities to my language, Khilobedu, which has unfortunately been assimilated under Sepedi.
Wena weeeenaaaa 😍 😂!!!!!!! I rrrrrealy 😂 enjoyed watching your videos. You are naturally funny. It's interesting to see ourselves through perspective of our fellow African sisters and brothers. I thoroughly enjoyed your video 💕💕💕🤗. Lots of love wishing all the best with your studies.
Awwww this is such a wholesome comment. My heart is warm ❤❤. Hahaha I'm happy you get my humour. It is usually hit or miss. I actually wish I could watch such a video about Cameroon so that I laugh and also see a few things I may never have noticed before (e.g so many people noticed the 'must' vs 'should' only after I pointed it out)
Can't wait for the next opportunity to visit! I had plans of being in Jozi for a while but pandemic said no. Plus the interprovince travel restrictions that were up for a while ruined my plans.
Hahaha thanks Tresor. I get that a lot. The word Mutombo means different things in different areas though, from Congo to Cameroon to Côte d’Ivoire to Zimbabwé. It’s also pronounced differently.
This was quite a nice observation of south africa. You are such a pleasure to listen you. Hey the hiking thing.... I am from cape Town and I lived in Pretoria for 6yrs.. The first major thing I missed was hiking and the mountains of Cape Town. So when I went home after a long time the first thing I requested was to go hike with the friends. I love the mountains of Cape Town. 😃 I'm glad you enjoying yourself here! Here's a sub!
Mzantsi is a Xhosa word for south Africa , specifically spelt Mzantsi . But it's the most popular hence other tribes/languages have adopted the word as slang misspelling it as Mzansi .
Damn Mutombo........you are so captivating and charismatic. I have already subscribed. You, Joan and other are assets and good Ambassadors for Cameroon. May you prosper in both Health and Wealth. We love Cameroonians
Wow thank you so much, Gabriel!!! You have no idea how encouraging it is to hear something like this. Thanks a million for the blessings you spoke upon me as well. 🙏🏽
Hum... it was indeed interesting to hear about your experiences in Cape Town, South Africa, as a foreigner. I studied there many years ago and your video has rekindled some good memories I have of Cape Town. I love the enthusiasm and joy with which you express yourself. Keep it up.
😂 the other video lead me here! I am happy about that! See, people always say I am Nigerian… but I am not even North or South of Cameroon… na wahhh o! I prefer the mountains 🏔 so hiking all day, every day!
Hahahaha honestly, I thought about that but I really couldn't say anything about music because I hadn't really gotten into the music scene in SA and I didn't want to only mention the very popular artists like Sho Madjozi. In general, I'm the wrong person to ask about music, even about Cameroonian music because I'm really behind the times regarding music. I'm still discovering songs that were released like 5 years ago. Anyway, have a nice week ahead, Sompisi. 🙏🏽
Mzantsi "means lower part of" or Southern in our case ❤. About languages, in short ... the are many dialects considered to be Xhosa(for instance) but we can understand each other 95% (not statistics).
Oooo thank you Siviwe. I get what you mean by some dialects being put under the wide umbrella of one main language. We do have a few cases like that back home. Thanks a lot for engaging, Sivi!
"must" or "should" I. Is how we learned the language. Because of our past, we learned colonial languages through instructions. thats why we use "must" instead of "should" (For reference please see the languages used by US slaves.)
Was also thinking I've heard white people using must in the same way. Whatever we say in SA as far as the queens language is concerned is what we learned from masters self.
Yaaaaaayyy 🍾... love this video. You are not alone on that one once they ask me my language I just look to the sky😂😂😂... "Neh" is just another way of saying "right"... learning the languages in South Africa is really just😅😅... I can speak Afrikaans and understand Xhosa. Enjoyed this very well❤
6:56 you didn't mention Aybo...(something like that) On God if you suddenly use that slang in the middle of a conversation, I can dash you 1 macra 🤣😂😂😂🤣 I like yooh as well
You went in on the languages segment 😂😂 I'm with you on "must" and "should". "Cape Town is not a place you go to fit in, you go to stand out" that's a word chiiiile. I also thought you were Nigerian from your accent 😂🤭 And that emphasis on "Zimbabwean friends" took me out looool
I too Love Love Hiking, I do it maybe 3 times in a Month, I try and hike atleast once a week. It's not a capetonian thing, students here in Pretoria get deals to hike in specific protected beautiful areas, so we usually mountain bike and hike on weekends and Friday afternoon.
first of all, your name is so cool that I instantly clicked to see if you have a youtube channel. I'm happy to hear that hiking is a thing in Pretoria as well. Love that culture. I've always wanted to mountain bike but I'm scared for my life 😂😂. Scared I might do some clumsy manoeuvre and lose control.
@@mutomboinprogress You probably won't. You're riding the bike, it's not riding you, it's fun, you should try it, I know as well that mountain biking is a thing, like super loved in Stellenbosch, you can try it in the Stellenbosch Mountains. They personally I have to say, have the best mountain biking experience. 😂 Please do not look at my channel. I suck at this TH-cam thing. 😂😂
I had to come back here after spending a day with my Cameroonian friends who couldn't tell me what language Richard Bona was singing in: "ah, it's Douala language Lebo" 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣 I guess I will never know. You guys are special shem. Great content💖
But Lebo, Duala (not Douala) is actually one of the hundreds of indigenous languages spoken in Cameroon so they did answer your question. The real challenge would be getting the translation 😂😂. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
🤣🤣🤣Haai no you have added to my confusion, they were referring to "the littoral part of Cameroon" but not giving me the name of a language, and I was ready to download a dictionary.
@Henri NGALLI KINGUE Thank you, let's use your one half, brother and translate this phrase: "Souwedi na wengue" or this word "dipita" ** if they are not any of your halves, it is okay, I appreciate the trouble.
Mzansi from Enzansi, meaning down there, like we down on the South hemisphere. not to be confused with Phantsi. which also means down, but used differently. Love your Video though, Good to hear how other Africans see us.
I am South African (venda) from the villages but i can tell u hiking is not big where i come from. You dont want to climb up the mountain and enter sacred caves. U might not return again so i guess its more popular in the cities. My cousin lives in the city and is always hiking.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this different perspective. It's always nice to read from someone with a totally different experience because I get to learn a lot. Big up, Muano 👍🏽👍🏽
I personally really enjoyed your videos so far so good, I can't wait for the following video. I would like to hear more from you about landscaping even though cape town is not that much mountainous.
We use "neh" so much but I've never actually thought of the context in which it is used. Depending on the the context, you either use it when you want confirmation and assurance or when you agree with what's being said. Mzansi translates to South. It's from isiXhosa and isiZulu, Mzansi Africa= South Africa. So it's not really slang, it comes from the dialect, we've just shortened it by removing Africa.
I think I hear Mzansi more in commercials than in day to day discussions. Ooo okay, I get it. Someone said ‘Neh’ is more like ‘right?’ And that makes so much sense. Thanks Noxzie ❤️
Just found your channel and I’m hooked, you just gained a new subbie. Really love this video as I also would be visiting SA (cape town) soon. Love that place so much
You put in a lot of passion and energy making this video. Home good ooooh. We sound like Naija because Nigerians taught us English when the British brought them in as teachers when they took over SCs as an UN-mandated territory. In Kamer, we go hiking in the bars (pups). Very few Cameroonians like the outdoors for leisure. I guess this is because working in the farms or gardens all day is already much of an outdoor activity.
The explanation for not liking the outdoors as much makes sense. Also, sometimes, the weather is too harsh to enjoy outdoors. It's either very sunny or rainy. I honestly don't like going outside for fun. The biggest motivation for me to do outdoor activities is the fact that I can vlog them and I even mentioned this while filming but finally edited it out because I didn't want my personal preferences to be used to represent all Cameroonians. I didn't know about the Nigerian teachers part! Wow, thanks Johnson. Like I said, always a pleasure interacting with you.
This Johnson Mosoko Moliki has no idea about what he's talking about. How in the heck did Nigeria taught us English, are u kidding me, instead Nigerians were coming to study in Sasse College and the rest, so Nigerians are there one that taught us pidgin as well. I studied history and I have never heard of this. No, Nigeria did not teach us English, maybe our mingled together for long has influence our English.
@@JudehEmpire Thanks very much for your ignorant comment. I am certain you are not even aware British Southern Cameroons was administered by the British as part of Eastern Nigeria. From 1916, when the brits took possession of the territory, Nigerians were brought in as civil servants. You can go to the National Archives Annex in Buea to verify the facts yourself. When was Sasse established? I937, as the first secondary school in British Southern Cameroons. Before then, how did British Southern Cameroonians get secondary education? They went to Nigeria, of course. I know you don't just want to accept that Nigeria has contributed so much to the education of Anglophone Cameroonians. But I will draw your attention to the fact that most of the lecturers in UB and UBa at least have a degree from a Nigerian University. So I know the hell what I am talking about So before you make baseless claims on social media, get some education and stop arguing in utter ignorance. My history ended in Form 4, but even as a Biochemist and Molecular Biologist, I can verify historical facts.
@@johnsonmosokomoliki4411 Young man u got no facts. Stop making blanket statement. Most professors studied in Nigeria because English Cameroon had no university. British Southern Cameroon was represented in the Eastern Regional Assembly by some few individuals. It didn't meant British Southern Cameroons was part of Nigeria. Who taught Nigerians English, Who taught French Cameroun French. U must be silly. So Cameroonians also taught Nigerians English as well when they came and studied in Sasse, if that's your point. So all of us speaking English now in Cameroon because we were taught by Nigerians!! U mess up in the brain.
I get the same thing people think that I'm either Nigerian or Congolese 🤦♀️😂😂... yes I'm not going lie I have a lot of friends from those countries but it doesn't make me them tho... as the saying goes show me your friends and I will show you who you are😂😂😂😂... but I also guess its because Cameroon is very quiet and not a lot of people know of our country either... people are surprised when we say where we come from. And another thing is because when they here us speak pigin I guess that also makes them think we are Nigerian and then when I speak French they automatically think I'm from Congo 😅😅
I'm actually surprised that most people do know where Cameroon is but I have had to explain that we are found in the armpit of Africa to a few people 😆😆😆
I can relate to a number of things you shared about culture shock although in a different setting. My parents are also from two tribes in Cameroon and I am sadly not fluent in either dialect because I grew up in the cities and had limited exposure to them. I love hiking for the same reasons: The view on top and sheer feeling of accomplishment (surviving the climb)!
You funny yazi😂😂😂. Everybody living in SA , coming from Weat Africa is doing these type of videos about S.A. But wena you are funny and the way you approach this, is so unique.
Hahahaha thanks Mmangs 😂😂😂

It's so interesting to know that "neh" is used by south africans too, because in brazilian portuguese we use this same expression for the same meaning 😯

@@khathutshelomatlou9712 😁😁😁
The "must" thing is actually so wild. I never realised that it's basically a command. We definitely use it in place of "should"😅
Haha me 2, never realised it
Hahaha There’re so many things that we just don’t notice until someone else bring to our attention
@@mutomboinprogress it's true. Thanks for your video, it was refreshing and interesting to hear your perspective

As an African you are expected to know your mother tongue fact 🇿🇦❤️
True bruh, Afrikaans...
I once asked this guy from 🇸🇳 what was their native language and he said French and I was shocked that he doesn't know 🤔
Possibly the best South Africa culture shocks video. None of the negativity I'm so accustomed to seeing in such. Awesome!
Aww thank you so much, Kamogelo. Thanks for receiving this video well.
Love you when you show that as South Africans we respect Africans and expect Africans to be Africans. We respect our languages more than those from European nations.
Definitely. I joke a lot but I do try to keep it real here. Thanks for watching, Xolilizwe
Girl, your laugh is so contagious. I hope Capetonians treat you well, stay safe!
Cape Town was good to me ❤. Thank you Bronwyn!
My partner is French speaking and the “MUST” word is the cause of most arguments 😂😂 He says South Africans cannot speak😂
😂😂😂😂 'must' is too heavy, yoh. I really understand your partner 😂😂. When somebody says 'you must do this or that', it's just like they are giving orders.

Interesting Video. Please invite me to South Africa, a fellow Cameroonian😍
Haha thanks. I don’t live there anymore
You went in on the languages segment 😂😂 I'm with you on "must" and "should". "Cape Town is not a place you go to fit in, you go to stand out" that's a word chiiiile. I also thought you were Nigerian from your accent 😂🤭 And that emphasis on "Zimbabwean friends" took me out looool
Nigerians don't sound like her plsssssss
😂😂 I'm late but the laughter is never late chiile! ❤️🔥
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re 100% right!
I too Love Love Hiking, I do it maybe 3 times in a Month, I try and hike atleast once a week. It's not a capetonian thing, students here in Pretoria get deals to hike in specific protected beautiful areas, so we usually mountain bike and hike on weekends and Friday afternoon.
first of all, your name is so cool that I instantly clicked to see if you have a youtube channel.
I'm happy to hear that hiking is a thing in Pretoria as well. Love that culture. I've always wanted to mountain bike but I'm scared for my life 😂😂. Scared I might do some clumsy manoeuvre and lose control.
@@mutomboinprogress You probably won't. You're riding the bike, it's not riding you, it's fun, you should try it, I know as well that mountain biking is a thing, like super loved in Stellenbosch, you can try it in the Stellenbosch Mountains. They personally I have to say, have the best mountain biking experience. 😂 Please do not look at my channel. I suck at this TH-cam thing. 😂😂
Loving you as I binge watch.
I have been reading and enjoying your comments so thank you, Doreen ❤
Wena 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣you are very funny🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣i was laughing on my own now because of you Sesi neh?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you laughed, then I can say 'Mission Accomplished'. Thanks Ntate 😁😁
@@mutomboinprogress thanks Sesi.
I had to come back here after spending a day with my Cameroonian friends who couldn't tell me what language Richard Bona was singing in: "ah, it's Douala language Lebo" 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣 I guess I will never know. You guys are special shem. Great content💖
But Lebo, Duala (not Douala) is actually one of the hundreds of indigenous languages spoken in Cameroon so they did answer your question. The real challenge would be getting the translation 😂😂.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
🤣🤣🤣Haai no you have added to my confusion, they were referring to "the littoral part of Cameroon" but not giving me the name of a language, and I was ready to download a dictionary.
@@lebo5281 😂😂😂😂 best we contact Richard Bona for the correct info then
@@lebo5281 douala is a bantu language as zulu. We have city and the language. I'm half Douala.
@Henri NGALLI KINGUE Thank you, let's use your one half, brother and translate this phrase: "Souwedi na wengue" or this word "dipita" ** if they are not any of your halves, it is okay, I appreciate the trouble.
Mzansi from Enzansi, meaning down there, like we down on the South hemisphere. not to be confused with Phantsi. which also means down, but used differently. Love your Video though, Good to hear how other Africans see us.
❤️❤️❤️ thank you Majebo
Hey Babez glad to be here from Tola Lusi
Visited CapeTown in my early days (2019) and it’s beautiful and freaking cold Lollz.
Wow thanks for checking me out, Deevah 🤎🤎.
Ahhh yes you visited probably in the winter. Cold, windy and beautiful!
You are so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂 you gained a subscriber in me!
😂😂😂😂 thanks Pfuxani, for deciding to stick around 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.
Mes félicitations!! J’aime bien tes vidéos.
Merci beaucoup, Simon! I'm happy you enjoy the videos 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Typical social media. There are always people waiting to be offended.
it's true, you sound Nigerian. When I saw in Miss Trudy's vlog , I took ma a while to realise that you were Cameroonian
hahaha I get that a lot!!!
I am South African (venda) from the villages but i can tell u hiking is not big where i come from. You dont want to climb up the mountain and enter sacred caves. U might not return again so i guess its more popular in the cities. My cousin lives in the city and is always hiking.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this different perspective. It's always nice to read from someone with a totally different experience because I get to learn a lot. Big up, Muano 👍🏽👍🏽
This is a very pleasant video .i wish it was more longer.
Wow and I cut out a few bits so that it should be under 20 mins. Thanks Ma-Eesi! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I personally really enjoyed your videos so far so good, I can't wait for the following video. I would like to hear more from you about landscaping even though cape town is not that much mountainous.
Thanks for the encouragement, Vuyo. Really, Cape Town is not that mountainous? Or do you mean compared to the rest of the country?
@@mutomboinprogress yes I mean that and I want your own comparison between RSA and 🇨🇲
NICE VLOG 😍💯.Im had great experience with Cameronians in the 🇺🇲 States. Im Originally from 🇰🇪 KENYA.Which i love.
Thanks Benny! Glad to hear Cameroonians are representing us properly abroad. I would really love to visit Kenya next.
@@mutomboinprogress most welcome Kenya is a beautiful country with good kind warm n welcoming humans
We use "neh" so much but I've never actually thought of the context in which it is used. Depending on the the context, you either use it when you want confirmation and assurance or when you agree with what's being said.
Mzansi translates to South. It's from isiXhosa and isiZulu, Mzansi Africa= South Africa. So it's not really slang, it comes from the dialect, we've just shortened it by removing Africa.
I think I hear Mzansi more in commercials than in day to day discussions. Ooo okay, I get it.
Someone said ‘Neh’ is more like ‘right?’ And that makes so much sense.
Thanks Noxzie ❤️
Just found your channel and I’m hooked, you just gained a new subbie. Really love this video as I also would be visiting SA (cape town) soon. Love that place so much
Wow thanks for joining, Temi 💕. Have fun in SA, beautiful! It really is breath-taking.
Great video Sisi. Thanks
thanks for watching, Silioss
You put in a lot of passion and energy making this video. Home good ooooh. We sound like Naija because Nigerians taught us English when the British brought them in as teachers when they took over SCs as an UN-mandated territory. In Kamer, we go hiking in the bars (pups). Very few Cameroonians like the outdoors for leisure. I guess this is because working in the farms or gardens all day is already much of an outdoor activity.
The explanation for not liking the outdoors as much makes sense. Also, sometimes, the weather is too harsh to enjoy outdoors. It's either very sunny or rainy. I honestly don't like going outside for fun. The biggest motivation for me to do outdoor activities is the fact that I can vlog them and I even mentioned this while filming but finally edited it out because I didn't want my personal preferences to be used to represent all Cameroonians.
I didn't know about the Nigerian teachers part! Wow, thanks Johnson. Like I said, always a pleasure interacting with you.
Regarding the first part of your comment, I personally have noticed that the videos I film in Cmr are super lively and bubbly ,😂😂😂
This Johnson Mosoko Moliki has no idea about what he's talking about. How in the heck did Nigeria taught us English, are u kidding me, instead Nigerians were coming to study in Sasse College and the rest, so Nigerians are there one that taught us pidgin as well. I studied history and I have never heard of this. No, Nigeria did not teach us English, maybe our mingled together for long has influence our English.
@@JudehEmpire Thanks very much for your ignorant comment. I am certain you are not even aware British Southern Cameroons was administered by the British as part of Eastern Nigeria. From 1916, when the brits took possession of the territory, Nigerians were brought in as civil servants. You can go to the National Archives Annex in Buea to verify the facts yourself. When was Sasse established? I937, as the first secondary school in British Southern Cameroons. Before then, how did British Southern Cameroonians get secondary education? They went to Nigeria, of course. I know you don't just want to accept that Nigeria has contributed so much to the education of Anglophone Cameroonians. But I will draw your attention to the fact that most of the lecturers in UB and UBa at least have a degree from a Nigerian University. So I know the hell what I am talking about So before you make baseless claims on social media, get some education and stop arguing in utter ignorance. My history ended in Form 4, but even as a Biochemist and Molecular Biologist, I can verify historical facts.
@@johnsonmosokomoliki4411 Young man u got no facts. Stop making blanket statement. Most professors studied in Nigeria because English Cameroon had no university. British Southern Cameroon was represented in the Eastern Regional Assembly by some few individuals. It didn't meant British Southern Cameroons was part of Nigeria. Who taught Nigerians English, Who taught French Cameroun French. U must be silly. So Cameroonians also taught Nigerians English as well when they came and studied in Sasse, if that's your point. So all of us speaking English now in Cameroon because we were taught by Nigerians!! U mess up in the brain.
This one is hilarious, "Wena, wena"!!! cc is sister do catch "Crazy Normal" by Trevor Noah, you'll hear a lot of that "yooh yooh yoooh"
😂😂😂 I think I've watched all of Trevor Noah's stand up specials. The guy is a genius! Thanks for watching, Kingsley 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Always excited to watch your reviews full or Wema ur got energy and laughter...keep them rolling Sis
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you Nhlanhla. I'm happy you enjoy them.
Subscribed!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I get the same thing people think that I'm either Nigerian or Congolese 🤦♀️😂😂... yes I'm not going lie I have a lot of friends from those countries but it doesn't make me them tho... as the saying goes show me your friends and I will show you who you are😂😂😂😂... but I also guess its because Cameroon is very quiet and not a lot of people know of our country either... people are surprised when we say where we come from. And another thing is because when they here us speak pigin I guess that also makes them think we are Nigerian and then when I speak French they automatically think I'm from Congo 😅😅
I'm actually surprised that most people do know where Cameroon is but I have had to explain that we are found in the armpit of Africa to a few people 😆😆😆
Thanks so much,for this,I really needed it, Part 1 had me subscribe,love you!😍😘
You're welcome 😊 and thanks for subbing
Hiking for fun, hehehehe hiking hike you there.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe I " must use "should,sounds nice
Awww. Whatever you feel is best. The important thing is to understand each other 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can relate to a number of things you shared about culture shock although in a different setting. My parents are also from two tribes in Cameroon and I am sadly not fluent in either dialect because I grew up in the cities and had limited exposure to them. I love hiking for the same reasons: The view on top and sheer feeling of accomplishment (surviving the climb)!
and with the dialect, the older you get, the more difficult it is to learn
Another great video. You are very entertaining. Enjoyed it.
Ooo you came back! Thanks Nancy! xx
@@mutomboinprogress Yes I subscribed. Your channel is great. Keep it up.
I live your content so much. I learned a lot from the vide.
Glad to hear it!
In your head, you think I sound like you 😂😂😂😂 shots fired indeed 🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂😂 I was seriously running my mouth on this day. Hope you enjoyed the video, Kholo.
Wena is "you" in almost all bantu languages of SA
