The Zimbabwean girl is getting many words wrong, table is tafura, avocado is Kotapeya,
We don’t use those on a day to day basis😅 if she had asked basic words like sky etc then…
True

Exactly, was so excited to watch the video until I realized the girl doesn't know much shona 🤦🏽

Yeah she's too young to know most of those words
Kotapeya is the actual name of an avocado in Shona. 😅
It’s bastardised way of saying avocado pear
Have you heard some say "avho" or "vhoko"😂... it's funny....
😂
Ma avhokadho😂😂
VOKO😂😂😂😂
Can we get an video of Namibia, South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe since they are neighbors? 😭😭😭
I support that as well, I noticed similarities in languages such as Shona, Oshiwambo, Zulu ect
There is any opportunity my friend do it if you can
Lol Tanzania and Kenya will have more similiar words with Zimbabwean Shona
Cause they are all Bantu language @@daddyteddy85
It will be funny and usefull if the get people from outside the big cities. People living in the cities for a while love to mix up languages.
-"Afrikaans is basically Dutch but drunk" - "and for me the dutch sounds like a drunk kind of German" 😂😂member of The Netherlands and Germanh had been on the channel before and they talked about it , next time Josephine 🇳🇦 could make a video with them 😊
I heard that it was influenced by Malay, due to the Dutch bringing many people from the Dutch East Indies to South Africa to...work. Additionally, Indians and various parts of Africa. South Africa had...laws regarding these people learning Dutch, so their grasp of it was imperfect. And, despite Dutch purists among the elite, those imperfections gradually led to the development of Afrikaans.
Or something like that. That is only what I heard.
😊
@@AT-rr2xw Naturally when a language travels it picks up loan words, it would have the odd Malay or Khoekhoe and San languages, Portuguese etc. Afrikaans vocabulary is over 90% Dutch. It is mutualy intelligible with Nederland's Dutch in particular dialects in Holland. It is as Dutch as Belgian Dutch aka Flemish. Compare that with English which has over 80% loan words of which 35% is French. When the settlers first got to the Cape it was called Cape Dutch and it was a peasant and working class dialect. When the 2 Dutch and 2 British colonies were amaglamated in to create Union of South Africa, the official languages of South Africa were English and Dutch. Afrikaans replaced Dutch in 1961. When the French and German settlers joined in & there was migration into the interior there was a rebranding to African Dutch shortened to Afrikaans in order to create a new single identity, the Afrikaner nationalist hegemony.
@@khaltsharivist365 Fair enough.
Actually Afrikaans is an illegitimate child of a Dutch language who doesn't necessarily resemble his father in small variations only.
I am loving how people with Albinism are getting more representation! It is wonderful to see!
Yes, they are beautiful people.
@@so9487 Why Thank you! We appreciate it.
She is very articulate and intelligent. Reserved outspoken too.
@@rakelpeneyambeko she is beautiful as well
@@kudakwashemuchemenyi2583 i agree.
When doing African languages pick things that are found in the natural world in Africa as opposed to artificial and imported things. Otherwise it will just be an episode of English a loan words. Words like water, father, hot, cold, tree, laughter, sorrow, house etc...

Finally someone pinpointed it out
Right on then money.

It's good to see some more African representation. Well done, World Friends.
Interesting the lady from Namibia speaks afrikaans , i think someone from The Netherlands or Belgium could be on a video , even though it's about african countries i would to know how afrikaans sounds like
Afrikaans is mostly spoken in South Africa and Namibia, so that would not be the case for the Netherlands or Belgium.
They made a video with Dutch, German, English and Afrikaans :)

Avocado (from spanish aguacate and that from nahuatl auhacatl ), and chocolate (spanish chocolate from nahuatl xococatl ) are all native mexican words, and they describe things not native to Africa so it makes sense that they use english or whatever language introduced them to their country.
The Shona girl is right to question herself😂

As a Dutchman, it was interesting to hear Josephine from Namibia. I knew that Namibia and South Africa both speak Dutch, or I should say Afrikaans, but since it's so far away, I never hear it. I would also be very curious to hear all the different Dutch-speaking countries together. Belgium would have a very clear Flemish accent, and although I would defintely recognize Afrikaans, I likely won't be able to distinguish between South Africa and Namibia. I also wonder how different Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten would sound, since they're all small islands in the Caribbean, and whether they would sound similar to the Suriname accent. And I know they also speak Dutch in some parts of Indonesia, but that's definitely the minority in their country.
But I don't think you'll be able to find people from all those countries in South Korea at the same time, especially because Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten have only ~50k-200k residents each. But I'm already happily surprised to see someone from Namibia on your channel, and I hope to see more of her. ^_^
Yes here for my Namibian- Angolan sister representing our beautiful cultures 🇦🇴 🇳🇦👏🏾👏🏾
So true ❤❤❤
Table in shona is Tafura, Avocado is Kotapeya. Green is doesn't have a specific term but you use phrases depending on what you are referring to
Green zerere
Shona lady.... Table is tafura... From afrikaans... Tafel.... Modern Shona has heavily borrowed words from mostly English, Afrikaans, Ndebele, Zulu and lastly Portuguese. This is because of the cultures that have been a part of Zimbabwean history for ages. Eg shona word for table is tafura from afrikaans tafel, a jacket is bhachi from afrikaans baadjie, cup is komichi from kommetjie, room is kamuri from kamer then many English borrowed words as most people prefer communicating and writing in English. I guess it is the same for Namibia and other English speaking southern african countries because of the very large numbers of Europeans in the region and also because these were the last countries to gain independence in Africa...... Hope that helps 😊😊😊😊😊
just to add another one, purazi is derived from the Afrikaans word plaas
Fun fact I’m also a Zimbabwean ❤❤❤
Same ❤

Ohh niice,I didn't know!!
As Zimbabwean shumba and Simba spot the differences. Do we not have a name for avocado ends with pear. 20 years immigrant in Europe if I’m wrong. Chitafura is a table in Zimbabwean Shona. Our shit is so entwined with English it’s hard to tell
I think l did say shumba tho😂that’s true our language has a lot of shonglish words
Yes for Avocado it’s kotapeya
Kotapeya
Kotapeya
There some words in english u wont able to convert if not hard mashona but yeh most words are just shonglish
Zimbabwean Shona ironically has a lot of Afrikaans influence as well . We also call avocado kotopeya, ( quarter pear ) shuwa research 😂ou are not alone Zimbabweans are not generally not aware of their own language . Well tried though 👏🏾
In Zambia we call them Kotapela.
why is there no Shona word for coconut?
But most people they don't know the name kotopeya
When the picture is shown the word disappears…try it and see😂

Coconut - Kokosneut but we mostly use the english word "coconut".
The namibian girl looks exactly like she was black but she's white if you know what I mean. Stunningly unique beauty.
What the hell
I get what you mean I was thinking that maybe her dad is white hence the afrikaans
Or maybe she's just has the skin condition vertiligo. If it's the skin condition then maybe her hair is fake or relaxed an dyed.
Either way it could just be the diversity of africa.
@@hasrr Vitiligo
She is vitiligo
She’s albino
Exotic beauty.
When it comes to African countries they're usually not alot of comments
🤷🏻♀️
I love seeing African language speakers in this type of video, I hope more people from other African ethnicities come.
I don't speak oshiwambo and I'm not ovimbundu but i can say " tuapandula", "anofunga"❤🇿🇼🇳🇦🇦🇴
My Zimbabwean sister, in Shona;
Table is Tafura
Avocado is Kotopeya
Ah… this was quite disappointing. Was hoping to hear more words from native African languages, but they instead used a lot of loan words from European languages 😔
They just too mordenized.
Bruh what 💀 even in the other videos they choose a lot of modern words that are borrowed in other European languages from English so stop the victim goofy shi 😭😭😭
yeah i know ryt, but its not their fault in daily life a lot of people just use loanwords for many things including things that do have an alternative word in the indeginous language. For example nobody in ZIMBABWE uses the word TAFURA for a TABLE in daily life its a word people use when studying Shona in School after that u might not ever use that word again.
@@anesumagoba1195 I understand that it’s difficult to maintain something that you don’t use in everyday life, but it’s still such a shame.
I agree, they could've picked words that reflect the reality of those countries. Why should Shona/Oshiwambo have a different word for chocolate when it's not native to Africa ?
A map is “Oka alitali”, lion is “Onghoshi” in oshiwambo 🇳🇦
I my love my Namibian diverse cultures and languages, though we are so fluent in Afrikaans, we all still speak our Native languages 💯
Svutugadzike apo heeyyi😂, #Coffee

A desk/table are both tafura. Tea/coffee are both svutugadzike😊@user-eu1wp1iq1i
That’s tea
Can we give it to the Egyptian for having a Palestine necklace and being so knowledgeable in the Arabic language? Many egyptians only know the egyptian words
No that's not true
second part not true many egyptian are muslims and if you read quran you are familiar with arabic and even if your are not muslim you study it in school and then use it in any formal e-mail letter etc
@@el7aty many don't know we can't properly pronounce ق، and yeah we use standard in formal writing, but that for formal writing isn't that much, I know many who can't properly read the script or franco is easier for them. Also, I said many not most or even half
Shona borrowed quite a number of words from Afrikaans . Compare the following words in both shona and Afrikaans table, brick , church , farm , store etc
Ehe. That's very true. Kunge pfutseke...🤣🤣🤣
It's actually afrikaners who borrowed the words from shona
A Dutch and Afrikaans speaking person can understand 1 another 2 a certain extent because the languages are so similar
Pretty sure neither "TV" nor "computer" are English words originally. So many "English" words have roots in other languages and are loanwords exactly like how other languages use English words.
They were English creations from Greek or Latin roots. German tends to use run-on compound words from German for new things.
TV or television is of Greek origin since 'tele' means far/from afar and well..vision you all know. Computer comes from Latin, the verb computare.
They are English.
TV = Tele-Vision = Tele (distant) - Vision (See).
Computer = Calculator (Compute = calculate)
Yes french was there before english...some English words came from the French
Mwana wevhu akanaka zvake ❤
our zimbabwean girl we love u
As a Shona speaking person, this is painful to watch. It's sad how we value other cultures and forget or own.
As I am Zimbabwean, me and my daughter understand most of the words
Namibia is basically South Africa
Enjoyed watching this video because im also Zimbabwean...
Namibiaaa💖💖💖
I've always heard there are similarities between Namibia and my country, south africa but seeing it is funny
If you go and visit Windhoek, the largest city in Namibia, you will feel like you are just in another part of South Africa because everything is just the same. People look and sound the same as South Africans😂.
Lion = Onkoshi 🇳🇦🇳🇦
Would love to see semantic languages - Amharic, Tigrinya (not sure how to say the name correctly in English), Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic...
I like josephine, Namibina lady, her accent is so south african too.
Can u make a video like this with Italian, French, Spanish, Turkish, German, Brazilian, Greek, American people?
yes
Where are you from
I’m Zimbabwean
in Zim,coconut avocado map are foreign.we name them as derivatives of original names . unfortunately,the Zim lady is not clued to that.even tafura word (table) is a borrowed word not originally from Zim language
Green in Oshiwambo “Shitwima omafo”… literally meaning “the colour of leaves”
Namibia 🇳🇦 why did you only mention Oshivambo, English and Africans. We also have Herero and Damara. That are also well known and spoken almost everywhere in Namibia. So why? 😢
As Zimbabweans, we too have Shona names for those colors, green is zerere, yellow is huroro, red is tsvuku, etc
I don't remember being taught our shona names for colours like green and yellow in school😢
Mauritian Creole -coffee - kafe, chocolate - sokola. Green - ver. Table - latab.
kkkkk to the zimbabwean, table is also tafura, iwe usagara patafura yangu
Just a point of correction.
Most of the items in Zimbabwe got their "names" from Dutch-Afrikaans not from English as many people think or are taught.
For example
Table (English) Tafel (Afrikaans) Tafura (Shona)
Axe (English) Byl (Afrikaans) Beura (Shona)
Window (English) Venster( Afrikaans) Fafitera (Shona)
Brick (English) Steen(Afrikaans) Chidhina( Shona)
Clothes (English) Hemp( Afrikaans) Hembe( Shona)
Pump(English) Pomp( Afrikaans) Pompi(Shona)
Turkey(English) Kalkoen(Afrikaans) Ngarukuni( Shona)
Young Ox( English) Joung Ox (Afrikaans) Jongosi( Shona)
Chain( English) Kentting(Afrikaans) Nketani (Shona)
Needle (English) Naald (Afrikaans) Nariti/tsono( Shona)
Fist(English) Bakleree (Afrikaans) Chibhakera (Shona)
Cat/Kitten (English) Katjie(Afrikaans) Katsi (Shona )
Pants (English) Broek( Afrikaans) Bhurukwe(Shona)
The list is endless
Kkk😂😂 haa munotobva kwa sadza chaiko here sisi kkk but anyways thanks😊😊
Shona speaker disappointed me
Table- Tafura
Avocado- kotaopeya
Coffee- putugadzike
Some words are not available onassis in shona so we pronounce them as they are pronounced in English but we replace l with R and also where there are 2 letters in a word without vowel we put i between the letters eg
Green - Girini
Chocolate- chokoreti
Coffee- kofi
Coconut- kokonati
We don't have stand alone C so we replace c with K because they sound the same
Wow this guy's are good I'm from namibai and I also speak oshiwambo
Avocado is kotopeya in Shona
😂😂😂😂😂
Where I am from the Afrikaans for Advocado is "advokadopeer" but we usually just use "avo" and the coconut is "kokosneut" but most people use the english word.
"Kotapeya" for avo in shona 🇿🇼 if i remember correctly
In SA the afrikaans word for coconut is "klapper"
My Zimbabwean young sister 🤦🏾♀️ you definitely need some Shona lessons😁 Avocado is "Kotapeya" in Shona and nobody ever says "ndinonzwa zvakaipa" haha...not the best representation for Zim 🇿🇼
For sure not the best representation of zim

Yah as Zimbabwean the Zim girl grew up watching MTV 😂 Table = Tafura , Avocado= Kotopeya, Lion= Shumba,
table is tafura in shona and avocado is kotopeya
Avocado in Shona is "Kotapeya".
There is no a word "Tebho"❌ in Shona. Its "Tafura"
Afrikaans missionaries from the Dutch Reformed Church, Morgenster, Masvingo put the Shona language into writing. Tafura is derivative of tafel, table in Afrikaans. Clothings terms, such as, hembe, bhadhi, rogwe, gumbezi, brugwe are derived from Afrikaans.
Shona is Kotopeya for avocado, tafura for table
For table in Shona it’s tafura 😂😂😂😂
Im Zimbabwean, but grew up in Egypt

Aaaaah in Shona table is tafura and Avocado is Kotapeya. ❤
Just realized Kinyarwanda is way more similar to Arabic (which makes sense since swahili and arabic resemble, and kinyarwanda is like a swahili's cousin)
Lion: 🇷🇼intare (shumba from zimbabwe sounds like simba, which also means lion in swahili)
map: ikarita
chocolate: shokola (just chocolat from french)
table: ameza
green: icyatsi (same word for grass)
avocado: voka (borrowed from french: avocat)
coconut: inazi (borrowed from swahili: nazi) but honestly, we just say coconut
coffee: ikawa /old version: ikahwa
The problem is most of these items are not native to southern Africa so we are more likely not to have names for them. We just used the words that the Europeans used for simplicity. They should use objects that are found all over the world regardless which part of it you exist, such as the sun, water etc
Table in shona is called tafura
Lion in Oshiwambo "onime", map is "okaalita", green "oshizizi",
In swahili we call coconut "nazi" pronounced "Naa-see"
That Namibian language is close to shona
Table in Zimbabwe it's also tafura
An avocado is called Kotapeya in Shona which is derived from quarter pear avocado.
Shona has always been difficult haha we use a lot of english words but uyo ndaizomukurira hangu kuz table is tafura. zve kotopeya zvandaona mu comment section haa ndaitadza
Shona seems to have very few native words. They should invite some East Africans
Im Zimbabwean but not shona but her shona suprises me. Correct me if im wrong, theres no word like 'tebho' in shona.
this girls speaks ama2k Shona 🤣. she was right to question shona lol
You need to interview people who actually know these languages
The Zim lady lies a lot
In Zimbabwe, we don't speak only Shona, there is Ndebele too..
Ndebele is a Nguni language. Nguni languages are the most popular in Southern Africa
You did great Ryan 6:58
