Who is here from langfocus ?

Mi

[@dhruvshah6469]

I was gonna say that 😂 btw I can understand some of it

[@joemahn1]

haha same

[@Kaiser_Doge15]

me

[@felipereboucas11]

I'm astonished at how I can understand some things by guessing the English correspondent words. Amazing!

[@12341430]

I liked the language, even though I do not speak it.

[@hammandajual7913]

Thankyou.

[@someguy3766]

I speak English, so I feel like I half speak this. :P

[@TinyStixMusicChannel]

The longer you listen, the more you begin to understand. Like getting used to a different dialect

[@norielsylvire4097]

Not really like a dialect Spanish has lots of different dialects, like Jewish Spanish (sefardí), filipino spanish, african Spanish and all the American Spanish dialects and none of them are any difficult to understand really. In English a dialect is for example scottish. Scottish is kinda hard to get sometimes but not as hard as this. In the case of tok pisin it's kinda easy to get many different words and with them kinda understand what's going on but it's a lot harder to get than a dialect. It's more like trying to understand Italian when you know Spanish. Different languages that are kinda similar

[@Odinsday]

TOK BOI is pretty cool I must say.

[@Mr._Lechkar]

The last ten seconds were comprehensible lol

[@Rolando_Cueva]

tru dat.

[@joaofelix7162]

Something along the lines of: That's all of the Tok Pisin headlines for today. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight.

[@JontyLevine]

Amazing. Many of the specialist words like petroleum and energy sound just like their English equivalents, and are intelligible to a native English speaker who knows no Tok Pisin. But common words and the linguistic 'glue' that make up everything else are very different. Kinda reminds me of all the Latin vocabulary we have in English.

[@irreleverent]

Well yeah, the more you use a word the more quickly it mutates as a result. Further, a lot of the "glue" is specifically grammatical in nature, and given that the language is a creole a lot of the grammar is actually coming from outside English.

[@lunamoon6056]

Excellent video. Thank you Paul! I didn’t understand the news from the KZbin video, only some single words.

[@iceomistar4302]

Anyone not here from Langfocus and just found out about this from spending hours on Wikipedia and University resources? No just me😂😂

[@mina.draws.sometimes]

Lmao

[@justinjavera645]

I must say that it is somehow comprehensive for English speaker.. Btw, come here from langfocus

First thing I thought of - it's the Channel 9 sound!

[@Pdasilva0324]

As a native English speaker, I understand like, 20-30%,like every 5th word or phrase.

[@angelikussupericus]

har har you only speak english

[@jackh7138]

@@angelikussupericus How did you get that? They only said they were a native, not how many languages they could speak.

Came from LangFocus!

[@missingfaktor]

LANGFOCUS GANG!

[@mina.draws.sometimes]

Yes

[@zvidanyatvetski8081]

Bounced on my boys' dok to this for hours, Langfocus gang!!!

[@ionladopoulos9131]

Nice language! I like it's sounding. Like Indonesian.

[@benjibean8431]

This language sounds really cool, and I want to learn it.

[@joaofelix7162]

Me too

[@artifactU]

well its based on english so shouldnt be to hard

[@PockASqueeno]

Any English speakers here from Langfocus? I understood a word every sentence or two, like “football stadium.”

[@katahi0749]

Hahahahhaha Bruh ofc football stadium is english. most people don't understand the words cause That language is mixed Portuguese, German and many Melanesian languages

[@Dragoon77]

So I'm the first one coming from geography now? :D

[@uyennguyen-tp9vk]

actually i heard ' long' the most in all of speech

[@UXB1000]

'Long' in Tok Pisin is used as a preposition. Where in English we have prepositions like behind, beside, across, and so on, Tok Pisin uses 'long' for their preposition.

[@tsgames6083]

Pikinini 1:18 From langfocus 😂

[@dawidtan8]

*EMTV, NAMBAWAN*

[@OzkAltBldgCo-bv8tt]

Where can we get materials to study this language?

[@Kof_fee]

I'm guessing this is EM tv's most viewed broadcast

[@shreyanshupanda1219]

Seeing how i could understand most of the written sentences of tok pisin I came here hoping to understand a lot of what was said but man the spoken language is entirely incomprehensible to me apart from a few very english sounding word here and there. #Langfocus

[@mina.draws.sometimes]

#Langfocus as well

[@madsg9256]

I could be wrong, but I think the music at the beginning of the broadcast is the exact same as what is used in ABC news in Australia.

[@FokkerTISM]

Channel 9, not ABC. Wonder if it's the same company that owns both C9 and this channel.

[@madeariartha2546]

Long and long again

[@shaungordon9737]

All I hear is long long long

[@bnschmdt]

Yes they are saying a common word, “bilong”

[@thepalmofdeborah2110]

😂😂🤣 me too

[@DMartinov]

It sounds to me like hearing English for the first time

[@karlbarks2219]

I understood they were destroying the homebrew, but I don't understand why they would do such a thing.

[@kylekunard2]

Much of PNG has banned alcohol, including homebrew. Many dry provinces except in hotels, etc.

[@nicholasbutler153]

Anyone feel like they should have understood all of this?

[@ninjadude971]

Is this what Arabs feel like listening to Darija?

[@mahnas92]

Hehe yes, you could say so! 😂

[@messaiirched4187]

Wow I did not understand

[@biscoito1r]

It sounds like Indonesian to me.

[@darkbloodprince2350]

probably major austronesian languages like malay, tagalog, and other languages that roll their r's and have a lot of 'ng' sounds would probably sound indonesian to you.

[@patricklo1514]

Come from Langfocus,it sounds like a Spanish try to speak English but with very thick accent:XD

[@Rolando_Cueva]

I speak Spanish. To me it sounds like Tagalog.

[@jhonrydc110]

@@Rolando_Cueva That's because the syntax and Pronunciation is Austronesian, the malayo-polynesian that Tagalog and all Philippine languages are part of.

[@jakerobert3118]

wait...this isn’t MTV?!

[@melanesianhulakuni]

EM Is pronoucec as M EMTV means thats TV

[@Rolando_Cueva]

Lol all the comments are about langfocus xD

[@MenAnecdotes]

How foreigners hear Filipinos speak taglish be like:

[@gatpaham]

literally metropolitan manila Tagalog speakers all the time... It is detrimental for such a language that isnt even considered a creole Tok Pisin evolved to accomodate 800 or so Papuan languages. Tagalog meanwhile... Idk tbh.... It has lost its identity in Manila which is why i despise city dwellers

[@billbirkett7166]

They really are abusing the word 'belong' lol. What does it actually precisely mean in Tok Pisin? Trying to understand Tok Pisin is absolutely confusing to the brain of your average English speaker; you understand many words but the syntax is lost entirely.

[@sem5263]

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bilong :) Also yeah very true

[@Kof_fee]

It can mean 'for or 'from' or 'belonging to' I think.

[@campbellbailey9614]
