this made me teary-eyed, see the old man and he held his hand, such a loving young man I am 87 and hardly get a hello in my town if I dropped on the ground and died nobody would care step over me.
So I have had conversations with this guy when he was living in American Samoa. At one point in his life he was, I believe homeless in Utah, and the tongans around the area took him in, which is how he learned Tongan, that, and because they’re are heaps of Tongans in American Samoa to practice with. I don’t quite remember how he ended up in AS, but I met him through a mutual friend from the village of Leone. I am super surprised and grateful to see him on TH-cam of all places! Glad that he’s doing well!
He was a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which is how he picked up the language in the first place, now he's the famous palagi boy that's as close to Samoan as you can get without being Samoan 😂
Bru I love islanders and how they just stop in their tracks and talk to random stranger about their problems or have a laugh and stuff that’s why I feel so comfortable when I am next to my islander friends
when I was in AKL, I stayed in a Samoan fam. They are just the KINDEST people in the world, generous, hilarious, and straightforward. I call that lady, who, I believe, traditionally always manages to be the boss at home, Islander Mum. I miss them every single day!!!
They're great people who you want on your side but would fucking HATE to have to go up against. Strong as an ox and tough as nails, never met one who wasn't, including the women.
We are all ONE. It doesn't matter,Tongan, Samoan, Maori, Fijian, Tahitian, etc...we're ALL from one people. Polynesian, Melanesia, Micronesia, etc., ONE LOVE. We're all from one source.
@@Navigator_Isle , really ???..wow !! I guess some of our words are similar 😂 but this white dude put us to shame ..I mean the ones that can't speak our motherland's lingos lol
Growing up in Pago there's a grip of Tongans, Fijians, Filippinos, Koreans, Chinese, German, Palagis. A few Indian, Afro American, Italian, Portuguese, Mexicans and Arabs. All their kids grow up embracing both cultures like palagi boy, they speak Samoan or both languages fluently. The biggest Filippino I ever seen was back on the Rock. The uso was built like the Hulk. The afakasi girls were all hella fine.
You have to be a miserable clown to dislike this video. Mad respect for the gift to speak and engage with others in their native tongue. This just craked me, Jeremy Uso keep em coming. Love it brah!
Love to Samoan people and Samoa. Some of the most nicest and best people ive met outside of my own race and culture. Love from a Serbian Christian brother . 🇼🇸 ✝️ 🇷🇸
I think more beautiful then the actual spoken language, is the messages he has in his conversation. Spreading laughter, love and respect. THAT to me is the beauty of this video, along with the samoan and tongan spoken language. Keep spreading positivity brother! Nga mihi
I'm a Maori and I found this entertaining, I lived in otara for 2 years before moving back home to whanganui (Maori town in lower North island) , I miss all my Samoan Bros I met in otara
Is hit me hard when he finish talk in Tongan to the Oldman he say "ofaatu kakoe moe famili from palangi men " he have Goodheart n love for Islander. 💯👍❤️🇹🇴🏝️
Aww I love this I’m American/latina and love when people embrace other cultures. One of my closest friends is half Samoan and love hearing about the culture.
Met this guy when he went BYU-H before COVID shut them down. He’s a real cool guy, real chill and down to earth. Sucks I never got to get to know him personally but I hope the best for him and his family.
i am from PNG and in the 90s a PNG friend of mine who lived in Samoa and learnt the Samoan language,would go into the Cassablanca night club in Brisbane and speak Samoan to the Samoan folks..lol..Their reactions were priceless.I wish we had youtube back then.
Isaac Addison He lived in American Samoa for a very long time, and embraced both Samoan and Tongan culture. I consider him a Samoan through and through.
I spent two years in New Zealand in the early 80s and have been in the Otara Markets many times. I never learned more than just the basic greetings in the various island languages, but the culture of Polynesia got deep into my heart and has stayed all these decades later. I still do anything I can to associate with the wonderful Polynesian people.
I'm Chicano and just watching this video you can see how much love and appreciation he has for the Samoan people and their culture, also for the Tongans with the very kind hearted and respectful conversation with that elder Tongan man. Much love to you, bro! Spreading positivity!
guys, i live in australia, we have many people from Tonga - new Zealand (my misses is kiwi) - Samoa and many other island from the region living here, its amazing how close nit the family culture is, its beautiful to see, be around and to be involved in. if you are ever thinking of taking a family holiday, or even if you are single and taking a holiday, these cultures are a must see ! they will inject massive amounts of love into your life :) love from down under mates x
Wow, Samoan people are soooo friendly!! Come here to the USA and everybody is in a rush and don't even greet you. Tells a lot about their culture. Very nice people!!!
Good stuff uso. You not only speak the language, but you speak it how a Samoan would speak it. You always honor the elders and treat them with respect and you even got the Samoan laugh down.
Islanders in general are the chillest dudes on the planet. I played rugby for 2 years, on the pitch they're absolutely terrifying because of how good they are but off it I was invited to more barbecues than I ever have been in my life
I have watched this video several times as my bf came across it because we've been learning Samoan. Me, coming from a Samoan family I know words but I can't really speak it. But being a born and raised Aucklander, knowing the otara markets are an absolutely perfect place to converse in Samoan, this was hilarious af I was laughing so hard. The humor is so good. "Who ate the apple?" "the snake" hahaha I love it. Good on you bro
I met him and did him a rap that day and being a Maori I was like wow this guy is the man later on that day at the night markets he was there and my fans from Wellington who were Samoans asked me about him then he showed up again just doing his thing and I told him to speak Samoan and the conversation between him and my fans was beautiful to watch for me being raised by Samoans and Islanders is a wonderful feeling to have in life mad love Palagi Boi
The palagi uso is a grack up, what i like the most is even though he's funny he carrys alot of mana and respect, and in that respect he's as Polynesian as they come. Tokouso 👌
Samoa has the best people. I live in Alaska and there is a huge community here. The block parties they throw are legendary. The food is incredible. They protect their own people. If you mess with one Samoan. You mess with their whole extended family.
Straight up white guy here, (with a tiny bit of Maori from my estranged mother's side) stumbled across this.. It was beautiful.. I admire people who are connected to culture and their native tongue.. It was beautiful to see the interactions and connections with the people on a real human level despite the perceived differences due to appearance..
