@@VivaBellabyXtina Gracia Mami, lo agresco muchisimo, desde Manhattan, NYC.....
All my Haitians in DR I love u
❤ for u. Thumbs 👍 for video
@@listhatelisme1445it's a dominicaN video why not love Haitians in Florida NYC
I'm 50 and deal with a dominican woman 20 yrs younger than me. I learn so much from you. It helps me to become closer to her, and her children. Blessing and you enrich my life🙏✌❤
Muchisimas gracias por este video ! ♡ im half dominican but sadly never got to learn alot of the actual culture since having a strained relationship with my mother. Recently I’ve started to get more and more interested because i really want to learn more about my heritage and culture so this is helping me alot. Thank you very much ♡
You're welcome ☺🇩🇴❤
you and i are in the same boat mana. i’m half dominican and half italian (sicilian). my dad left when i was a baby though, so i was never taught my dominican culture. however i do have a lot of puerto rican family, so i guess that kind of made up for the lack of my hispanic culture i guess? i really wanna learn and be apart of my other half ❤️💙🇩🇴
I'd love to visit Dominican republic cause of my roots
I love 💕 my people 😍😍😍😍 🇩🇴 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
🇩🇴❤🇩🇴❤
Que Viva La Republica Dominicana 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Thank you so much for this. Beautiful presentation. I'm going to the DR soon and I'm glad to know more about the culture and dialect.
Thank you, and you're welcome 😊
Very informative. I enjoyed this video.
I love the dominican pride and i’m so glad i found your videos. I grew up in texas around a lot of mexicans + salvadorans so i know about their culture more than my dominican culture. I am learning a lot more about it through your videos.
Thank you so much! I'm glad 🙂
I have learned so much. Thank you so much for sharing this wealth of knowledge.
You're welcome ☺
Thank you so much for this video! I am half dominican and puerto rican and recognize some of these and see how much more I did not know! Much appreciated :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! ☺️
This video is super informative!! And so interesting
Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I will be showing it to my children.
🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been to the Dominican Republic 3 times, I like it there, it’s peaceful and the people are very nice, no attitudes like in the USA
Very educational, never had a chance to experience this on my short trip.
Fantastic video. Muy informativo. Ojalá consiga más views! Bravo!
Gracias!!
A concise and informative documentary! Beautifully spoken & articulate ! Very, very nice work!😇 thank you for opening up my eyes to a interesting history and culture! Great job!
Thank you so much!
@@VivaBellabyXtina Anytime! Very professional, and informative!
This video is awesome! Good work! 🇩🇴
Thank you!!
Very useful video. El San is what we call "Partner hand" in English
Very cool! Seems like the DR has had many influences over the years, making for a rich culture. 👍
Yes! ☺
I Loved this!!!!🇵🇷🌴🇵🇷🪐🇵🇷🏴☠️🇵🇷🥊🏝️🌄🥂 Thanks XTINA !!!!!
In rural Jamaica we do nine nights too
I love Jamaica.
I love it. thanks very much. de pura cepa
Watching from Philippines...I like to know and watching the culture of any countries. Dominic republic its have a same culture in the Philippines
Just like how my moms speak. A straight up typical Dominican. My tia would ask my mom, que lo que, cómo ta mi familia? And my mom would answer, oye manita, todo etamo muy felice...... LOL 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
@@K1ngKrunch you're right, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.......
Just like millions of Americans from other parts think that the southern accent is low class. I was born in New York but I grew up in Florida. Most Dominicans, Boricuas and Cubans that I know speak like that. Now Estrelleta, I disagree with you, I don't think it's shameful. I don't think it's low class but again that's your opinion. Just like I don't think the southern accent is low class. But for the people who don't like it, oooo well LOL.
@@K1ngKrunch LOL you kill me i'm lovin it hehehehehe hahahahaha, you is a breath of fresh air. That's just how we's southern fook ( folks) tawk ( talk). I (eyes) from Flooda (Florida). We say ole not oil LOL......
We some country fook....
Another southern lesson.
I'm fissin to go to da stoa...
Translation: I'm about to go to the store.
I done told you translation I have told you
LOL....
@@K1ngKrunch LOL heeeheee hahahahaha. One of those dialects sound so familar to me Lol. It reminds me of mi familia...Mi familia es de la capital. I say Tia Verónica, dime cómo te siente?
She says ay mi sobrino, me siento muy feli.
That's just how mi familia talks lol. My mom's say to me, mijo que ta haciendo o que ta perando? I say e toy perando la guagua y e toy perando que mi pana me llame pa tra......
I remember mi prima said to my friend hola mi amol. My friend was tripping. He asked me Wendell what the hell is a mole? Then I realized it and told him she said amor LOL..... I love that video....Asi hablan los dominicanos....LOL
Pa lante....ke es esa vaina que tú tiene ay ay Dio mío....lol
This really helped me understand a lot of things, I'm personally a 2nd generation in America and mostly dominican, and I used to see saying the s in certain words as an accent. Personally since I haven't been to DR and I speak somewhat broken Spanish I feel pretty different
I'm glad this was able to help!
I love your videos on Latino culture and countries. I'm Puerto Rican and would love to learn more about the culture. I know what I've been taught as I grew up but I find your videos really interesting and I like how you organize them. Do you have any recommendations of channels that do what you do but for Puerto Rican culture. And btw ik you have made videos on pr and love and appreciate them but ik you focus on Dr more for obvious reasons 🇩🇴😂
Glad you enjoy the videos! Unfortunately I don't really know of any channels that focus more on PR culture 😕 not sure if you saw them already, but I did make a video on PR Bomba music and I made a video on DR/PR/Cuba in one. I think they are in my Cultures of the Americas playlist!
Great video. 🇩🇴
Thank you!
Yo I'm at work watching this video I almost bit my damn phone with the mangu part
Haha!
We have jonny cake to in the bahamas some of the food is similar
Omg I want to try Quipe. It looks tasty 😋

Yes!
My boyfriend is Dominican thank you for teaching me ❤🇩🇴
Very good video
Hola Tina my goal learn Spanish so I can visit 🇩🇴 I never went to Elementary & Middle school with Dominicans nor grew up with them neither have 🇩🇴 friends . I met alot of Dominicans everywhere. I look forward to get know Dominicans better if they want to speak English to me They can even though I want to have a Spanish conservations. Thanks for the details
🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@VivaBellabyXtina Yes I never been went to Elementary nor Middle school with Dominicans . The 1st time I heard about Dominican Republic when I was my Teens I was like I would love to go there . I never been to 🇩 nor try the food before I gotta try 🇩🇴 dishes I'm allergic to all kinds of Seafood so I can't eat it
Amazing information do you have any APA cited sources.
Thank you! And no, unfortunately I do not 😕 I didn't note all my sources down back when I was making these videos.
I love this video
Thank you!
I like this.
Thanks!
Quipeeee is my fav cause the carne and the flaver
Lmao I went to visit my moms side of the family for a while when I was 17 after being one of the first born in the US.
Major culture shock. But initially I was absolutely uncomfortable and shocked by the kiss greeting when I first arrived in the DR. I got so used to it though.
When I came back to Arizona I would go to kiss everyone when I greeted them out of habit and it made people so confused and uncomfortable and I would feel highly embarrassed every single time because I had forgotten it’s not normal here. 🤣 It took me a while to then unlearn cheek kissing when greeting it parting from someone I knew. 🤦🏻♀️
lmao!! wow! I did not know that the san shit was part of the culture lmao! that is for sure one for the books! interesting!
Good video
Thank you!
Platano power meng!
Good subject. Most people don't know anything about Dominican Republic. When are you going to visit?
VI? Vigin Islands?
@@VivaBellabyXtina I meant to say "visit". LOL
@@MrAmhara ohhh lol I'm going in December! I will definitely be vlogging
@@VivaBellabyXtina Ok. I'm looking forward to your content. But you have to go to a bar/ restaurant and dance Bachata when get there. 😁
I say que lo que prima, dime wazz up? Que ta pasando? She says to me, bien bien bien primo, me siento muy bien gracia a Dio lol
Gracias por tu video Cristina Vivabella. Gracias por enseñarnos sobre nuestra cultura. Tú me enseñaste alguna cosa nueva que yo no sabía.
Yup lol
You're welcome! 🤗🇩🇴
I say que lo que primo, cómo tu ta? He responds ay primo to ta bien to ta bien k hay de nuevo? Then I say to ta bien. La vida ta buena.....Lol
is saying dios te bendiga/bendicion less common in other spanish speaking countries?? we say it like every single phone call, everytime we see each other etc
I'm not sure 🤔 we really do say it a lot though lol
i want that mangu con salami cake for my birthday
Ty for the video. This is great. But please let’s help our people and hold the colonizer accountable by saying “enslaved”. Words are powerful in freeing or enslaving the mind and body.
Things I’d like to understand about the DR-
Why do they still have slaves/mistreated “maids” etc.
Why is it acceptable for men to have mistresses in the open after marriage but it is unacceptable for women to be unfaithful or have a mistress. Women are expected to stay married even if living alone while their husbands live with mistresses?
And also…why is white washing SO bad in the Dominican Republic? They very much see lighter hair/skin/eyes as “superior” and will encourage white washing especially when mating. To produce a “lighter” offspring in their line?
I have found those things very confusing and bizarre and I’ve never been allowed to ask about any of those things anywhere.
We dont do that in the bahamas.the nine nights
“To help with period pain “ 🤦🏾♀️😩 alcohol causes inflammation
Sus we do that but we call it asue.in the bahamas
🌐
The list of similiarities between us Haitians and our Dominican brothers is way too long. The 9 day funeral, the taino words such as Kayiman, Colibri, the word Cachimbo, which was also say in Kreyol, the straw roof huts aka Joupa, Mamajuana which we call ''Tranpe", the spiritual lwa, platanos I can go on and on. We're definetely on the same island for a reason.
Cristina, what Dominican you know who doesn't drink? Cristina, my family are a bunch of Dominican drunks and I am not ashamed of it lol. My fiancee's family are a bunch of Dominican drunks too lol. My cousin Tata, she is puerto rican / dominican, that girl can drink....
On my father's side, there are some drunks too but my mom's side of the family beats them by a long shot lol.
Lol, my mom's side aren't TOO bad, but my dad's side... 🤦🏾♀️ those men must have livers of iron lol
@@VivaBellabyXtina LOL
The women of my family are not too bad but all the men drink lol.
Cada vez que yo viajo a la Rep Dom, tengo ganas de beber una linda botella de Él Presidente Lol
My mothers family is all alcoholics. I was opposite and ashamed. My mother grew up without a father because he was a drunk and left my grandmother.
And my uncles and mother are alcoholics. My mother is now a recovering alcoholic but the damage has already been done. I am not happy with the extreme abuse I had to endure as a child and growing up from my mother.
Also, Dominicans stay very close with family. At least mine does…mostly the women. 3rd, 4th, 5th cousins are just “cousins”. Grandmothers and great grandmothers are just like having another mother. My mom still behaves like a 10 year old in the presence of her mother and there’s “mommy issues” like crazy in my family. Was very weird seeing my mother get scolded by my grandmother when my mom was a grown woman.
Those things together were so insanely toxic.
I broke this cycle in my family. I absolutely will not touch alcohol given my families history with alcoholism. I’m not proud of it in the slightest. It’s so harmful. I changed my parenting too. When my mother tries to step in as a mother to my children I have to put her in her place quickly to remind her they are not hers and she is the grandmother, not a second mother. This has made my family extremely angry. But I refuse to pass down toxic patterns and behaviors simply because of cultural upbringing.
First time I went to dr all my aunts and my grandma was like “ no me va besar la Mano “ and I would quickly copy my cousins sion Tia … cus in Ny my mom never asked this of me and I never had to do it
Understandable! My parents taught us this but I've slacked with teaching it to my own kids
@@VivaBellabyXtina same actually my kids don’t speak Spanish at all I have to start sending them to dr for the summer so they can learn
How ironic in one of your videos where you had the clasificación chart for race and status within Mexican society and the natives and blacks where at the bottom. If you go to 9:00 in the video exactly one the Ben Doe 21 divisions charts it’s a picture of a black man and what looks like native Taino similar idealogy 🤦🏾♂️
Oh wow you're right, I hadn't even realized that
@@VivaBellabyXtina JAJA Hay que saber same game different country
Y la mangulina de donde es?
RD.. recien aprendi de la mangulina! Tendre que hacer un video sobre eso como parte de mi "Music of the Americas" serie
0:25 to 0:27 😂🤣
8:14 to 8:25 💪👍
Como que le dan demasiado crédito a todo lo que es Africano, pero yo creo que los esclavos imitaron mas a los europeos y entró todos mezclados inventaron cosas nuevas con o sin influencias.
Yep.
I came here because I like Mexican culture and noticed merengue. But noticed its not Mexican. Im proud to be black
Gurl what
Who told you merengue had any connections with Mexican culture?
El diablo el gordito le metio duro
Hola Hermana! I'm Afro-Dominicana and Muslim. Do you know of or know of any Muslim/Islamic History in the D.R.? And the origins of when and where it the religion and the spread of the religion took place? If not, no worries. I've only been finding 2014 Census on the religions in D.R. but I havent seen any update to date. I enjoyed this video a lot. 💗🇩🇴
Hi! To be honest I don't know too much about it, I know that there is a small Muslim community and I've seen pics of mosques around the country but I've never really looked into the history of how the religion arrived to the island or began to spread 🤔 I will need to look into that!
@@VivaBellabyXtina Thank you! I appreciate your response. :)
There were quite a bit of Muslims in Spain; the Moors ruled Spain for centuries. In fact the architecture in Southern Spain is very Islamic/North African (the Alhambra). The name Andalucia is actually the European version of Al Andulus, which I believe is what the Moors called it. Some Spanish surnames and names are actually Arabic in origin, like the name Omar 😊 anyhoo I loved ur video, the Dominican ppl are awesome!
Just say your black don't say Dominican
@@ER-df8vx um, no. My identity is my own. Not all Dominicans are Black and vice versa.
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
If you woman have the audacity of pouring water to the cocon it could be a reason for a divorce
😅😅
So much undeniable blackness lol.
Spain is more evident by far
But they don’t want to embrace their African heritage along with Taino and Spanish..
Haitians do not want to be Haitians, they prefere to be anything but Haitians. Lol
Yeah we have way more in common with Spain NOT AFRICA.
