    The lady in the video spoke two languages Sinhalese & Tamil.She asked you to come under the saree hut because it was too hot outside.Then one boy teased her & asked her to marry you then she told you that the boy was mad & she was already married & have four kids. I can only translate things that she spoke in Sinhalese because my Tamil is not good.I think finally she asked in Tamil when you are going back to Germany 🇩🇪 to take her with you.She is a humble lady with a funny character.

    I'll try to translate what the lady says. She's talking in both Sinhala and Tamil I think. I will translate the parts I understood. :)
    3:05 She's saying they are going to clean everything in the morning. And she's explaining how they are going to clean and others are laughing because she's talking a lot in Sinhala to a person who doesn't understand Sinhala.
    3:18 She's worried that you are in the sun. And offering you the shade. She's saying "Oh it's so sunny. Come to the shade and sit in side" :D
    Then others are joking saying marry her (as I heard).
    3:26 She says she's already married and has 4 kids.
    3:33 she says the other person is crazy (Because they are making fun of her)

    The lady was very respectful, humble and kind to ask you to come to the shade and have a seat and have little chat as you were outside in the scorching sun!
    Most of all she is very joyful, funny and with lot of sense of humor. Doing all that hard work day by day still appreciate every moment of it with joy, remarkable!

    Hello Ken, Since you are here ( negombo) I'll recommend you some nice areas which foreigners almost miss. Katuwapitiya church ( do not recommend this as something to enjoy since this was where the easter bomb attack happened killing a lot of people. If you wish to go there, observe and could speak with catholic fathers you'll learn that sad story which theres no justice to this day, if you wish to visit there, it will be more clear for you if you just google Katuwapitiya attack b4 visiting.) other three areas where you can enjoy are, Welannkanni church and beach near Kochchikade town. Muttuwa beach and the small church(Nainamadama town), Kurusa Palliya(palliya means church, Kurusa= the cross) in Marawila town. Plus, if you wish to travel Jaffna, try the railway if possible. Then you wont miss the most stunning, breathtaking scenery of Elephant pass, the neck of SL. . Travel safe!

    Hi Ken
    Hope you are doing well, the "fishmarket" you went to is actually not a fishmarket, it is where they make dry fish. They clean it, put salt in it and let it dry. It is useful for when there is no fresh fish and is also very tasty.
    The lady was telling you to come into the canopy bit as you were standing in the hot sun. She also said he has 4 children and a husband. She was also joking and saying 'take me to Germany' 🤣
    Hope that clears things up a bit.
    Have a lovely day
    👍

  • @chaw294
    @chaw294 2 роки тому +6

    An awesome walk about in that fish market. Wonderful that the strong smell of fish didn't deter you from filming there. Guess those fish are salted ones coz they are dried under the sun. Nice to see your interaction with the locals there especially that young lady...very chatty 😄😀

  • @lynia6587
    @lynia6587 2 роки тому +16

    Hi Ken 👋🏻 hahaa...everyone seems to ask the standard question " are you married ? " 🤣
    It's the same process on how the fishermen make saltedfish , dry cuttlefish or dry shrimp. If you go to the fishermen village you'll see this kind of activity by the beach especially in Terengganu and Kelantan. The locals are so welcoming and friendly like always , nice one Ken 👍🥰

    I think they are processing the fishes into salted fish by drying under the sun. As for anchovies, it is true some Malaysians like to add anchovies to nasi lemak, but I am a Malaysian who dislike and doesn't take anchovies, although I love nasi lemak. The locals are very friendly, they appear to be asking you the same question, "Are you married?" Very interesting that they call a refreshment stall as hotel. Looking forward to your coming videos on Northern Sri Lanka.

    The lady is telling you to take her to Germany. There are lot of Sri Lankans in Germany. This is the process of making DRY FISH, it has to dry for days. You get the same type in Thailand and Malaysia. She is asking you if you want a Kilo and she is explaining how the process is done. She says she is married and has 4 kids bcos the other guy said she wants to marry you. She is telling you that the other guy is nuts ( mental) .
