The Welshman not expecting Ari to speak Welsh and having his mind blown and being speechless for a few seconds was outstanding. He literally had his mind blown in front our eyes.
It is so freaky to see you two guys at the beginning of the video switch to Chinese for more comfort in talking, instead of English. Two guys, not Chinese, standing in Italy gossiping in Chinese is...crazy.
@@thorodinson6649yep! In-person (behind a screen though!). I'm going through all the comments to enjoy myself. It took me 8 intensive lessons to teach him the foundations of the Neapolitan language and prepare daily life situation dialogues that could match his video style! It was worth it though!

Actually, the regional languages of Italy are more dialects than languages. A rule of thumb I personally use to distinguish the two is mutual understanding and numbers: basically every city in Italy speaks a different dialect, and many times an Italian can't understand the dialect speaker, but it almost never is true the other way around. Neapolitan is an exception, together with Sardinian and a couple others from what I can remember. If you want some tips about Italian ask away, I'd be happy to help :) (Btw, I'm from Parma and I do know a bit of the local dialect!)@@EternalBeatbox

I had no idea that the normal way of speaking there was so crude haha. That's very interesting with how open they are about sex in their daily language compared to the other cultures you've done.
Well saying 'I came" or "climaxed" In English has both a sexual and non sexual meaning. Isn't it like that? Is there a more specific way to say orgasm in Napolitan?
@@dfpguitar AFAIK, either the literal equivalent of "I came" or, more explicitly, only very vulgar ways. But I'm not a Neapolitan native speaker, although I lived in a Neapolitan-speaking area for 15 years and I understand it perfectly.

Another absolutely brilliant video! And what a fantastic choice of destination and language - you nailed this! Also your buddy was on point. Thank you for your inspiration always which lead me to start learning Italian two years ago, during the pandemic. Now I can speak it quite well!
I love watching video's of people traveling to Naples because I recognize all the places from when I was there and it feels so neat to say "Hey I stayed on that street! I ate there!"
It seems like a typical romance language to me. The only hard part is having three genders when Italian only has two, and they can't be identified by the final vowel.
@@cosettapessa6417 That's just a very small aspect of the language and you can easily understand that if you see possessives as a special case of adjectives. Also Italian already has expressions like casa mia and mamma mia.
I learned italian during the pandemic and can speak it fluently and its something that shocks people, also know a lot of spanish from working in a industry with a lot of immigrant laborers and had to learn it to speak with them, and its super wicked close to italian so its easy to remember.
Just one of the language learning websites, and I have friends who are italian who are game devs and I literally told them I wanted to learn Italian and talked to them a bunch and they taught me some stuff and graded me on how I was doing. Really helps to have friends who speak it and can spend a few hours teaching you. @@DBag-1212

Only around twenty percent of Welsh people can speak Welsh and many of those will use English more often. So it's not unusual at all for this man to be struggling. He probably just learned a bit in school. It is more common for Welsh people to speak Welsh than Irish people to speak Irish though.
These videos are walking a fine line between being motivating to learn languages and shattering your motivation entirely because this guy learns a new language every week and here I am still struggling with memorising basic vocabulary.
This is all lovely, to be honest. I'm only Portuguese myself, but enjoyed this immensely. Nerd factor: seeing a Fiat Uno parked on the street feels like home. I was fortunate enough to visit Italy for 2 weeks with some friends in 2011. We even were so bold as to rent a car - I was the driver. Navigating city streets and overall roads was also interesting. There's something uber cool about Xiamanyc that his videos make you feel at home with the culture and language even thought it may be a different country, a different language, and many many years gone by.
Italy experiences this ALL the time when decendants of the southern diaspora return only knowing the dialect (regional language) their ancestors came from. I only speak/understand Cotronese (one of the Calabrian dialects) and everyone from Naples to Sicily goes CRAZY when I speak to them. While I am a little embarrassed that I don't know standard Italian, they think it is the COOLEST thing ever! Lol
I am happy to see you found our city warm and welcoming. You are impressive as Neapolitan is another language referring to Italian. Awesome and brave dude

Bro I'm neapolitan and I LOVE this! It's impressive how good you're at speaking neapolitan! Your american accent makes it a little weird but in a good way!
wellcome! I was studying English for a month at the age of 14 in the south of England, and there was a Neapolitan boy who had become the target of the English teacher. At a certain point the boy got worried and said: "I know already two languages: Italian and Neapolitan, I speak a little French and understand English, my mother sent me here by force, this old woman doesn't wash or put on powder, she only knows English and claims to be superior to me?! I propose that we stay an extra hour in class to teach you Neapolitan! the whole class was enthusiastic about the idea except one Japanese, who was 'convinced'... in twenty days that young man he practically taught us that the languages spoken by sailors must be thought of like this: there are two boats at a certain distance and the sea is very rough, what do you use to make it clear what you shout?! the vowels!!! cut the vowels and you will understand much more if you know the languages of the rulers of those lands... On the contrary, in the high mountains consonants are used much more because the vowels create the echo. Today I understand, I don't speak, Neapolitan, and a little Calabrian which is much more difficult. in Italian and Neapolitan you have to use the solar plexus, like in German, think... 120º f. 85% humidity, no air conditioning... physically painful to speak of!! She takes a deep breath and comes up with a quick thought and we end up going down; blowing air up your nose and using your mouth as a speaker.
Mannn! I have been following you from Australia for so many years and seeing you in my native city speaking Neapolitan has been amazing! Big respect for you!!
I've watched many of your videos, but particularly enjoyed this one because the people you encountered were so fun! This really makes me want to visit Italy!
Seeing this as a Napolitan is fantastic 😂. But "maggia arricreate" doesn't mean i had an or@sm. But i'm rebirth. You can say it with that meaning but it's not the principal
You should go to Friuli and do the same with their native dialect! It’s a whole language on its own too :) doesn’t sound Italian or Spanish or anything you’d expect. Their words and names don’t typically end in vowels and the “n”’s on the end of words has an “ng” sound. SO many unique sounds!
i mean it's still italian basically. Think of his patois videos we understand like half of like the dirty patois but after a little bit you start understanding it and can pick up on it. and if they speak like only half patois in their english then that's probably about the range youll get from tuscan (standard italian is the tuscan florence variant) to neapolitan or liguarian or venetian etc etc. It's in the middle of all of the peninsula. i'd say tuscan to roman (province not nation) would be like British English Slang to American Slang
@@valley2thebay319I believe a fluent speaker in either would be able to pick up some words. It’s like comparing American English to British English. Part of fluency is being able to neutralize accents and dissect verbatim from context
@@armyaj they don't speak complete napoleitan, they used mix both with italian, if they speak full napoleitan it's hard to understeand for an Italian too...
@@benitolopez1028 I heard before that the Spanish spoken in Spain, and the Spanish spoken in latin America is quite different. Not to make them wholly alien languages, but I think the difference is quite larger than it is between UK English and American English. I've no sources though, that;s just something I heard a while back, maybe its wrong.

Bro Italians are the best in any case they are. What a wonderfull interaction with people
that "im fading fast" followed by the most American sounding "bonjour" at 9:00 caught me off guard
as a Neapolitan, I can confirm you're in the right direction to make neapolitan your 41st language
hahahaha
41o come il parallelo che passa per Napoli@@enzowahlberg4072
What was the phrase he said at the beginning that translated to "I had an orgasm"? I'm trying to learn some more Neapolitan slang.

I watch so many of your videos, this by far made me smile all the way through. Great content and your friend was fabulous too. 😊
What the heck bro... I'M FROM NAPLES ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Brooo you had the biggest glow up, you look so healthy it's unreal man🔥 So proud of you💯🤗
wellcome! I was studying English for a month at the age of 14 in the south of England, and there was a Neapolitan boy who had become the target of the English teacher. At a certain point the boy got worried and said: "I know already two languages: Italian and Neapolitan, I speak a little French and understand English, my mother sent me here by force, this old woman doesn't wash or put on powder, she only knows English and claims to be superior to me?! I propose that we stay an extra hour in class to teach you Neapolitan! the whole class was enthusiastic about the idea except one Japanese, who was 'convinced'... in twenty days that young man he practically taught us that the languages spoken by sailors must be thought of like this: there are two boats at a certain distance and the sea is very rough, what do you use to make it clear what you shout?! the vowels!!! cut the vowels and you will understand much more if you know the languages of the rulers of those lands... On the contrary, in the high mountains consonants are used much more because the vowels create the echo. Today I understand, I don't speak, Neapolitan, and a little Calabrian which is much more difficult.
in Italian and Neapolitan you have to use the solar plexus, like in German, think... 120º f. 85% humidity, no air conditioning... physically painful to speak of!! She takes a deep breath and comes up with a quick thought and we end up going down; blowing air up your nose and using your mouth as a speaker.
Mannn! I have been following you from Australia for so many years and seeing you in my native city speaking Neapolitan has been amazing! Big respect for you!!
This is just Ari getting trolled for 19 minutes 😂
I've watched many of your videos, but particularly enjoyed this one because the people you encountered were so fun! This really makes me want to visit Italy!
im from Scotland and i will go to italy one day..stunning people and country ❤
Only a true friend is so brutally honest 😂 I love the shear disgust in Ciro’s face when you said pineapple 🍍 ❤
Seeing this as a Napolitan is fantastic 😂. But "maggia arricreate" doesn't mean i had an or@sm. But i'm rebirth. You can say it with that meaning but it's not the principal
Arriccriati in siciliano significa divertiti pure

Thanks for coming to my city. You always in our ❤️
Cià wuajó
You should go to Friuli and do the same with their native dialect! It’s a whole language on its own too :) doesn’t sound Italian or Spanish or anything you’d expect. Their words and names don’t typically end in vowels and the “n”’s on the end of words has an “ng” sound. SO many unique sounds!
THE ANGLE 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ 5:41
I so wish Laoushu was still around so you guys could collab. Knowing him, this video would be titled "Tall ass black guy and NY Jew take down Naples."
This has gotta be one of my favorite episodes on your channel
As a Spanish speaker I understood everything you have said in Napolitano. I guess it’s similar to Spanish as well.
European Spanish or Latin American Spanish ?
i mean it's still italian basically. Think of his patois videos we understand like half of like the dirty patois but after a little bit you start understanding it and can pick up on it. and if they speak like only half patois in their english then that's probably about the range youll get from tuscan (standard italian is the tuscan florence variant) to neapolitan or liguarian or venetian etc etc. It's in the middle of all of the peninsula. i'd say tuscan to roman (province not nation) would be like British English Slang to American Slang
@@valley2thebay319I believe a fluent speaker in either would be able to pick up some words. It’s like comparing American English to British English. Part of fluency is being able to neutralize accents and dissect verbatim from context
@@armyaj they don't speak complete napoleitan, they used mix both with italian, if they speak full napoleitan it's hard to understeand for an Italian too...
@@benitolopez1028 I heard before that the Spanish spoken in Spain, and the Spanish spoken in latin America is quite different. Not to make them wholly alien languages, but I think the difference is quite larger than it is between UK English and American English. I've no sources though, that;s just something I heard a while back, maybe its wrong.
5:37 POV is hilarioussss. Great vid !!
That’s like going to Spain but only speaking Asturian 😂👍
NO WAY, mate you are incredible, è un piacere vederti parlare napoletano, sei bravissimo continua così, you amazing! love your videos, bravo compà!
As an Italian, I have no clue what they’re saying lol
what region?
