Finally , after so many videos with people from America Continent , Europe and Asia a video with just countries from Africa 🇪🇬🇳🇬 🇨🇩 🇷🇼 👏
Egyptians are Arabs. It maybe about continental but there's a reason 3 African men surround an Egyptian woman
@@ShireTommy1916_Somme-Mametzas an Egyptian we are Africans so stop these stupid stereotypes that u and some weirdos created even if some of us consider themselves Arabs but most of us are Africans
@@ShireTommy1916_Somme-Mametzit is just the Arabic influence on us that created that stereotype u r like a person who says South Africa is England cuz it was influenced by it
@@ShireTommy1916_Somme-Mametzwe were never Arabs look at us in the 50s 60s 70s and even 80s and u will see how different we are on our ways of speaking wearing and acting
@@aysell0 white South Africans are more Dutch descent anyway, not English. Btw I was always in line with you're part of the Arab-sphere regarding Egypt, it's a country so well known in North Africa.
Much love to my African bros and sisters from an Egyptian 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
Do you identify more closely with Africa as a continent, or the Middle East as a region that is shared by Asia & Africa?
@@dekippiesip I identity most closely with North Africa and the Middle East. But I am Coptic Egyptian and so this limits the degree to which I identify with arabism.
@@dekippiesip Part of Egypt geographically lies in Asia (Sinai).. North Africa are Arabs because we speak Arabic has nothing to do with race..
@@mightykimo not all of north Africa are Arabs... I'm half Swedish half Tunisian, my father is from the far south and he's as dark as a Malian or a Kenyan or whatever. He doesn't look middle eastern at all, he looks like a black guy with a little straighter hair (curly and not coily.) Most of us Maghrebins aren't Arab, we're Berber/Amazighen. I even took a DNA test, I'm only 6% Arab. Keep in mind Tunisia is the most Arab of the Maghreb countries (well Libya is if you include it,) so imagine Morocco. We're only culturally Arab, and even there it's different. Just because a lot of us looks like Arabs it does not mean we are Arabs - a lot of Spaniards, Portuguese and Italians could easily pass for Arabs.
@@jsgv7935
Hmm, I'm always fascinated by the North Africans and the differences in the ancestry of it's people. From the South, we hardly know anything other than seeing you guys are just Arabs. It's really difficult to see anything different since you are represented to the world as 'Arab,' you speak Arabic after all and are mostly muslims ...
Much love to all my African brothers and sisters from Egypt 🇪🇬
Together we can make Africa a better place for all of us 🥰♥️
Omg finally African countries have a convo. I am Black American and some of my African ancestry goes back to Nigeria, Congo, and Egypt. This makes me feel good to see the countries come together.

Nice video ❤ but as a Conglose I can say there are definitely Lingala words for the things mentioned in this video they're not just borrowed from French..in my opinion it's just that not alot of the younger generations would be familiar with the Lingala our grandparents spoke especially after colonization
and he did say his from the capital and his lingala is different from the province
@@Shakira98yes he dis
Sangote. Is your name really Olga? I've only seen Eastern European women with that name...
I’m not Congolese, but Lingala is such a beautiful language.
@@EvetteNimpa It's a very nice language. I think a lot of people from Congo speak Swahili too which is also very nice.
Nigerians can never be serious in their life...I love my country

Seriously 😂😂😂
It's why the country is a mess
@@snowforest6487 No! No!! No!!! I won't have you insult my country...I mean have you been to Nigeria like yeah I'm not gonna dispute the fact its in the middle of a little chaos right now but when you come to Nigeria I bet you would want to come again and again and again so pls I pledge to Nigeria my country...T for thanks
@@snowforest6487 definitely not
Loved this! Being born in Egypt 🇪🇬 but Congolese 🇨🇩

How my Congolese brother gonna say Congos official language is French! Eh!!! The official language is LINGALA French is a colonial language and a second language and then we have local languages…
On a side note

@@sandrineuwinjyeneye4920I'm not from there but when the Nigerian guy clocked him, he didn't seem to know anymore words for the rest of the video.
But why? Rwanda is a great nation 👆💪🇳🇬 from Nigeria .
For Nigeria, don't forget "Telly" for TV. 🙂
We got all that sh!t from Colonisation 😂
My father calls umbrella brolly. The most cringiest thing ever, though he lived in London for quite a while now we live in The US.
The B for P is a general problem for Arabic speaking people, since there is no P alphabet in Arabic.
They do in Farsi and Urdu پ
@@JosephOccenoBFH Farsi and Urdu aren't Arabic, so no issue there.
We do have the P پ in the albhabet but beoble use it only for foreing word.
Yup, as she said if u didn't learn English in early years ! Luckily I did, so I never had any issues with my P vs. B 😎
@@JosephOccenoBFH In Arabic, actually these letters don't exist .. We tend to borrow them for foreign words or rather sounds like V ڤ or P پ ..
Yesss African people , I’m Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
For me This highlighted how Nigerians play so much😂 like he couldn’t stop laughing and pitching in. I love to see the difference in attitudes in each country
Love this episode! Finally the continent of Africa represented and many languages talked about. 😃 Pascal from Nigeria speaks Pidgin English besides his native Igbo. Sam from the Congo speaking Lingala and Moses from Rwanda speaking Kinyarwarda and some Swahili. Mena, speaking Egyptian Arabic and Egyptian English with Egyptian pronunciation. 😄 Wow! A polyglot's paradise indeed, African version 😃
Much love for Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
yes!! very excited for a video about Africa, I wanna get to know at least a little about the countries and cultures, but I haven't been able to find a lot of mainstream content from anywhere there, essentially, so this is really cool
Finally some African countries! Please also let them meet with other countries as well! This is like the whole world should be: interested in others and learn from them rather than consider one as better or worse.
Finally Africa gets some shine on this channel! We need much more!
Why? What African men are waiting for to create their own space? Stop begging to be a part of what others are building for themselves.
@@teamcontentcreator He is referring to the channel. What space are you talking about?
@@nicolewilson4058 They're probably projecting their own feelings towards Africans

Much love ❤️ my brother from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I wish all Africans can come together like this 🥺🥺
Wow beautiful share, good to know these new words congratulations African friends 👍
I think in Igbo the proper way to say ocean would be oshimiri or oke osimiri. Depends on your dialect
Yes, oshimiri
Exactly.
Osimiri came to my mind ooo
Exactly. Mmiri is just water
Fellow Nigerians say hi😀 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Hii

Hi 😊
Hi 👋
@@FJB_USA_1ST lol are you sure boss?
This was exactly what I’ve been waiting to see! I feel like a lot of countries know more about Europe, Asia, and the Americas, but not enough about African countries. I hope we see more!
Dry interesting. Loved the new countries and languages represented. Fun people too!
“Etando eke.”
“Nintendo DX?”
😂😂😂😂😂
they all have such a good aura, i loved learning more about african culture :)
Beautiful content! Please next time, they should speak plainly in their local accent, it would be sooo relatable and funny😂
The Egyptian girl is so pretty
Nigeria is a big country, some of these things are pronounced differently and some have a different words for this things in different parts of the country.
He did say he was from Igbo, so a lot of what he's pronouncing will be influenced by that.
For instance, pidgin is basically broken English, mixed in with the speaker's own dialect or the dialect and language mannerisms of the indigenous people around the area. This in turn generates various "types" of pidgin, many variations.
Exactly, we have over 600 languages, so their pronounced differently.
Even in pidgin, it varies depending on the province/region or tribe.
@@footlong7980 yeah, I'm from Edo state, our pidgin is different from other pidgins
The tribalism has to join out😂
LOVE seeing new countries from a new continent! Would love an idea of doing Western Africa vs Eastern Africa maybe like discussing food, language, and culture. Maybe discuss what people would do for fun or what famous tourism their country has and make others guess the country? I would also love to see more Middle Eastern and South Asian countries too. We only have India so far. Maybe we can have Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, etc. as well as the Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, Iran, etc.
There’s so much potential and I am so excited they made a video of Africans! 😍
Fantastic idea!
I really was waiting for someone who represents Egypt😍🇪🇬 on every video I was imagining myself there with the other fellows and comparing Egyptian Arabic with other languages. as a specialist in the Arabic language I can recognize the word if it's original arabic or it was taken from a foreign language. And I know tons of words we use that we took from turkish, french, english, greek, persian and italian (like the word in the video for ice cream:gelati) I need to see more videos like that in the future with more fellows❤❤❤

I am reading a book on what ancient (Coptic) words we still use in Egyptian-Arabic that makes us so unique. I LOVE getting to learn our ancestral tongue instead of the colonized one
@@ritzzbitzz however, remember that we are almost the only country that could take control of which language can affect us! the history tells us that we never liked Romans -for example- that's why we never spoke latin, but we liked greek poeple and Coptic was spoken alongside greek until the time before islam. and nobody complained bcuz the choice of language depended on the religion and greek mostly belonged to a different church. After islam we CHOSE to change our language at first. I mean it's similar idea to Aramiac in the Levant, when levantine people changed it into Syriac as they were identifying themselves as "Christians" and they believed that the people who still speaking Aramiac at this time were disbelievers. After the time of islam the Egyptian Muslims convert to islam and also to Arabic speakers because it was helpful to understand their new religion which they were proud of. Remember that we are using now the language of the English colonizer too😂 it's very hard now to revive Coptic in everyday street language. It's still sacred in the Egyptian coptic Church but it's still dead. if you really want to revive it I recommend you to read about how Israeli Jews revived Hebrew. This is the only linguistically successful method to revive a dead language.

Interesting, especially seeing how English is spoken in Egypt. I'll have to go there one of these days! Greetings to Egypt from Namibia 👍🏿👍🏿
It was amazing watching a video about african countries.
More videos like this plizz
In Egypt, we also have an Egyptian language that goes back to our ancient Egyptian ancestors, and we combined it with Arabic and some words from Greek, Italian, French, English and Deutsch😊

as an Egyptian I still can't hear the difference in P and B while they' talking, it's driving me crazy :D
❤Africa ❤
وانا والله 😂😂😂 عشان اللغة العربية مفيهاش p بس عندنا (ب) فقط عشان كدا
I only came to see a few minutes but stuck around cause how cool this was, as a African America, its always dope to see Africans representing spaces and informing others of their amazing cultures and languages.
Final it's a African continent content 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇹🇿
World Friends is based in South Korea and everyone on it are English teachers at International schools in South Korea and these 4 must be new teachers, who moved to South Korea.
@@marydavis5234 okay,nice to know that
@@marydavis5234 they aren't necessarily english teachers actually. Many of them are actually part time actors/models in south korea.
Great video . I want to know more about the african countries because they are not shown much to the world. A small request please reduce the background music little bit. Keep it up
This Egyptian Women is Beautiful 😂
As a Nigerian Igbo, I feel so represented! I love when Pascal tried to teach them how to say "water" in Igbo. "Mmiri". It was so fun watching them try to say it. 😂
In my own dialect, it's called "mmini" tho (my own Igbo dialect is a whole language of its own lol), but this was so fun to watch!
Love all of you guys ❤
From Egypt 🇪🇬
Love this content 😊much love to my Nigerian brother ✌🏽
I think the Egyptian person should have an episode with a 2 people: a person from France and another from Italy, and she should attempt to have them say Arabic words like 1- desire (رَغبة),2- dust (غَبْرة),3- a screw that you find in machines (برغي), 4- the alienation that one lives when living in a land very different from one’s homeland (غربة), all these words in Arabic use the same letters in different order, and the choice of letters will guarantee fun reactions from French speakers as well as Italian and Spanish ones, a fun video
What's the equivalent of the 4th in Italian or French?
Or they could bring a Libyan. Libyan dialect is influenced by Italian words
Very interesting 😂 I am Egyptian and I dunno no. 3 !! Guess it's a technical expression
@@EngyAmr well it’s a screw that you use a screwdriver to either install or remove, it’s bergheh in Levantine Arabic, I’m not sure about Egyptian Arabic as I understand it thanks to 3adel Imam and isma3il yassin to name only 2, and manage to speak it a bit, but then again there may be words that are specific to areas much like we have and you have 😊😊 …
Some things are completely different …
You -dol, lazem yikoon elhom video khaas naas !
Me -holeh lahalon baddon video mrattab !
As you can see I’m not very good at formulating expressive images in Egyptian Arabic, but can you guess where I’m from ? 😃

That's how you know a typical Nigerian
I thought he was a little too much, and I'm Nigerian. Also, most of his contribution was BS ...
@@peterporkeresq.2817 I felt that too. A little too into himself. Kinda full of it
Make a similar one about arabic world and the differences in accents and stereotypes
As a Nigerian, piano in pidgin is “Pee-ah-nu”
We also have different types of buses asides the Danfo, we have the “Molue” and the “korope” pronounced as specially
I guess it depends on what Nigerian accent you use to pronounce the word, piano is pronounced 'pee-ah-no' with a Yoruba accent.
@@peterporkeresq.2817 Arab accent?
@@Ko8la2233
Y-O-R-U-B-A accent.
@@peterporkeresq.2817 we hear it all the time in morrocco.

You hear Yoruba accent or you hear 'pee-ah-no?' You need to write in full sentences buddy, I don't understand what you mean.
I was so happy to see the representation, especially from Mena! I'm also from Egypt! When she was saying how to say television I noticed that she does pronounce it differently lol
So interesting! Finally more diversity on here wohooo
finally my country is mentioned,Rwanda
Ocean is Oshimiri in Igbo. Mmiri is just water.
Great video, very informative and really gives me a new perspective on the different languages in African countries. And, respectfully, Mean is straight beautiful. Love from USA 🇺🇲 to all y'all in the vid.
looooved this episode! please do more series with Africans :D
I liked this episode very much, but there is a mistake Mena said , which is that the Arabic language was taken from English and French, and vice versa. But there are also some words that are similar to English or French, which we call non-Arabic, such as foreign names, devices, and inventions that were not of Arabic origin.♥️
Great video, I would have loved to see words that have more continental context
Nice video. I hope there will be also a comparison of Bantu languages across East and Southern Africa.
My Nigerian brother said he speaks different language, then goes ahead to mention, English Igbo and Pidgin...😂😁

For real though 😂
I screamed 😂😂

This is really beautiful, watching different Africans from different countries conversing and getting to learn about the other. This video made my day 😀❤🍓
So I'm so happy to see a Nigerian😊
Anyone: "can I have a peach"
Egyptian: "a what? Oh you mean bi..."
Now I understand my many pronounce B as P. thanks for the lil lessons. Was fun. Made me smile
Because of the history there are some words we use in English that originate from African languages. Some of them are okra, gumbo, conga, banjo and goober. If you don’t know a goober is originally means a peanut but in slang is a foolish person.
250 languages in Nigerian I like Congolese explain even region different ways of the same language.
now please do an video from countries from the oceania region ☺
I'm not from Africa, but I found myself repeating all the words they said in the video. It's fun, plus I feel like my accent changes as well. More of these please.
البت المصريه عسل فشخ 😂❤️
This was interesting with the different languages locally. I was surprised to realize that there are no peaches eaten in areas of Africa.
It depends on the regions and what is grown in those areas.
Like Yam and plantain you will get it in West Africa but not the South.
It's the best video of this channel 😍😍😍😍 ( for me )
Finally Naija🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
The Igbo language doesn't have it but as a Nigerian and speaking Hausa we have different words for all fruits(,Lemu)
Igbo language also has different names for fruits. He's just not a good Igbo speaker
I can tell the Nigerian guy hasn't been in Nigeria for a long while, because we call piano, keyboard.
Who has time to be calling it piano😂🤲🏼
Exactly o🤣🤣
Love the vedio ❤
FINALLY I FOUD SOMEONE WHOS LIKE ME I AM EGYPTIAN and the best child at english

This was so refreshing to see🙂
The Egyptian girl is so lovely and sweet.
glad to seeing collaboration with Africans

More of them please!!!!
Is my very first time to attend this show and I really liked it and I appreciated you very much
From Congo🇨🇩
When Japanese don't have a word or don't know one they usually take it from a romanized version of english. Because the fast majority of characters are two two letters by English language conventions {Yu being a single letter, shi being a single letter} a lot of romanized words often have an "Engrish" sound. For example dreadlocks could be pronounced doredorokusu.
Hi cool to see african dudes
Finally, Africans are represented 🙄 Thank you.
I think dey need. A Yoruba Nigeria here🤣🤣🤣 esp when the guy said la glance it mean lick glass in Yoruba😅😅😅
