I don't know of any human that calls bell peppers, capsicums........... red green yellow. purple bellpeppers............ only a agricultural professor would use that name in college............ im pretty sure of that.
Why do Australians call bell peppers capsicums? Capsicum is the scientific name for all members of the family although we (Australians) use the word chilli for the ones with heat. We understand when others call them peppers but we tend to save that word for black pepper, white pepper and native pepper berries. Why do we do it? Because that is the common usage in this country. ~ Quora ~
You got to love those markets. The veggies look so fresh and inviting. Have you made any friends at the market ? I know that dragon fruit is sold in the markets. In our local supermarkets a dragon fruit would cost $ 3.00 each in U.S. Dollars. What is the cost of a dragon fruit in Lao Market ? How were you able to put words and sentences together in Lao? Hope you all are doing, ok ? 👍 Sending lots of smiles from Richmond, Va. Jim and Harriet
We call 'em bell peppers here (Ohio). I grow green, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers in my raised-bed gardens. I also grow Mexican Dwarf Bell Peppers. They're mildly _"spicy"._ I grow hot peppers - Jalapeño, Mammoth Jalapeño, Scorpion, Ghost, Red Ghost, and Carolina Reaper. Shishito peppers go great with steak or as an appetizer. As an added bonus, only *_one in ten_* is hot. Happy hunting!! ; )
🤗🙏🏼! Thank you for taking us along on your grocery run, enjoyed it. Your Lao is much better nowadays, besides, you have a cute new teacher in the house. Would it be funny if you approached a pork vendor , pointing at a piece of pork and say “Moo?” Her reply was “bor man…..oink!”😂 Have a great weekend.
Bell Peppers, green/red/yellow/orange...are the ones you are talking about here in the U.S. there's no heat to them, and some are sweet. I find the green to be a bit bitter......and they don't play well with my insides.....the rest I slice up in stirfry and they don't bother me at all.
Nice helpful vid, I needed this 3 days ago LOL Be in Vientiane tomorrow for 3 nights headed down from Luang Prabang, thanks for that recommendation we enjoyed our time here
Good morning mate Todd. I've been in several areas of America ever heard of capsicums referred to as anything but peppers. It seems all of the money in Laos is paper. No coins.
Wish I had had this years ago when I was there Todd Great vlog mate But does NeeNee not usually go to the shops ? They are peppers in North America Todd
I asked my GF in Thailand about kob chai and a couple of other words/phrases I've heard you use. She said no way would Thais use them like that. She spent most of her childhood just across the river in Loei! Funny old world...
@@NowinLao Just that the same words may have a different use or even meaning, when the only thing dividing the cultures is a small river for example. Another complication to language learning.
No. Never been sick from food here. All the meat you see at these markets would've been alive just a few hours ago. With very little refrigeration, everything is fresh. The only time I have been food poisoned was at a restaurant (not in Laos) that had refrigeration.
Todd Lao numbers are close to Thai numbers especially in the Thai Isan & Chiengmai area's but in BKK or the south one subtle difference is the number 20 in Thai it's yeesip so 25 is yeesip ha in Lao it's sao & 25 is sao ha even my wife of 40 years had no idea when somebody told something was sao baht but I understood because I learnt both Thai & Lao numbers from some friends before I married.
Hi Todd,,just goes to show that a few fluent words go a long ways to communicating in a foreign language. Good on ya! Lol it even helps with the local native American language. Every one of them speak fluent English,,have for generations. They speak the local language more as a sign of status. Out of about 9000 people there are less than 100 truly fluent speakers. They do have e respect for white guys that use a few words. Some words are damn hard to pronounce and sometimes they laugh at you,,but mostly it's from shock that you know the word or term. I know the term for I am mad " daaluuskaweeche" I say that and everyone laughs and says ,,where did you learns that. But I'll carry on because it's just a small token of respect. My Dad knows alot more words than i,,and that combined with his age would probably get him invited to most tribal ceremonies. It's all interesting though. Look forward to the rest of the big wet,,as long as the last one isnt,,,the big wet pants😂😅 lol you all have a great week,,Mina,,good learning this week at school. Take care Todd,, Neenee and Mina! Ttyl,,,Marlon
In the US we have green , yellow and red. The green are the cheapest as they are the youngest. Yellow and red same price. I'm not a farmer but I have bee told that green are the youngest, yellow and they red are the ripest?? Won't bet my life on that. That what goggle is for.Then we have so many kinds of mild to super hot Mexican peppers..
To anyone reading this, please try to be at least somewhat close with the tones. I think that it’s about 50% of the overall communication when trying to be efficient in getting information back and forth when speaking. Sure you can get by by just romanizing phrases, but you’ll have a much better time if you at least try to get close. Otherwise they’re just trying to put together what you’re saying in their head while taking into account you’re a foreigner.
I had a friend in school that got really upset when I would repeatedly refer to him as Chinese... LOL... I had literally no idea Laos was a separate people/country.
That look like a piece of piss todd 👍🏽 nice one I really like the look of all the fresh produce not got a lot of those markets in the UK, 🇬🇧 especially in the southeast London 🙏🏽

Thanks for the lesson Todd
Thanks Todd for talking us along to the market
Even though these videos aren't as dramatic or important, I do love this kind of video, especially when it's so current.
Thanks mate 👍
Thanks, another useful one!
Another good phrase if you don't hear what someone says, is ' bor dai yin', which is 'didn't hear'.

WOW it's amazing how your simple question got such a response.
Hey Todd, you must be nearly a local by now, a familiar face at the market. Nev
Great learning way to learn some of the language and get hungry too.. stay safe and healthy Todd 😊😊😊.
We call them peppers in the states. Thanks again, Todd!
I had my first lone experience in a Laos market this morning...very funny 😂
Always an adventure 😆

Bell pepper here in texas usa. Google says Ma Khaen for laotian mountain pepper. Not sure if its definitely the same thing.
Lots of great produce there today mate (except for Ding Dong Peppers). 😝😝😊😊👍👍
When you are in an English speaking country it's easier.if you speak English you have an advantage.nice videos
I really enjoy these videos. Interesting just to see everyday activities in a different place and how you manage the language 👍🏻
Thanks Keith!
Thanks for sharing Todd. Your Laos language skills are about the same as my Thai language skills and I have been here 11 years! 🤣😂God bless 😀🙏
You speak Laos very well Todd : vow lao dai dee lai 😊
Good morning mate Todd. I've been in several areas of America ever heard of capsicums referred to as anything but peppers. It seems all of the money in Laos is paper. No coins.
Great video, as always. Some more of these Lao language videos would be greatly appreciated, mate.
This time , Todd, we got impressed by your skill in daily lao speaking 😮.By the way is inflation very high in Laos ?
Thanks, slowly getting there. Yes.. 2ltr milk pre-covid was 32,000 kip, it's now 70,000 kip.
Loving the content buddy
Cheers
Are you in Vientiane over Christmas Todd? We would love to meet you.

What is a capsicum, never heard of that before?
We have every color paper in the US.

Not sure what you're saying Swaggs.. is she saying that's not how Lao say thank you?
@@NowinLao Just that the same words may have a different use or even meaning, when the only thing dividing the cultures is a small river for example. Another complication to language learning.
Or did you say capsicum either one never heard of it , is it a loa fruit?
Do you ever get sick from the meat not being refrigerated
No. Never been sick from food here. All the meat you see at these markets would've been alive just a few hours ago. With very little refrigeration, everything is fresh. The only time I have been food poisoned was at a restaurant (not in Laos) that had refrigeration.
@@Arctic_Traveller When you really think about it, it's no worse than the money we're handling everyday..
Bell pepper 🫑
Same markets exist here but not for beef pork or mutton it must be sold in a shop.

Yes, I have heard that is different, plus 11 is different also isn't it? 11 is 'sip et' here. Sao et for 21 etc
