Bosnian reacts to Geography Now - TONGA

[@jaqenhghar2970]

Even us Tongans in the States pronounces it TONG-GAH. Pronounce it the way you want. The only place you'll hear it said correctly is in Tonga obviously and in New Zealand and Australia. There are a ton of Bosnians and Tongans here in Utah, and even interracial marriages between our two cultures. My nephews are a product of this collaboration. It's so astonishing hearing them speak Tongan, Bosnian and of course English. Great reaction. Malo and hvala!

On the obesity issue, from what I understand, is in part due to a reduction in traditional food and greater reliance on imports like canned food, affecting the most Pacific Islanders.

Hmm, in that case they should really work on expanding their agriculture and fishing sectors.

[@catbitmaster8216]

@@DinaricWolf I agree, and expanding on their aquaculture should work (so long as they do so without negatively impacting local marine environment). Unfortunately, there are foreign corporate and/or economical interest behind the imports (which also uses the Pacific Islands as a sort of dumping ground for junk food that could not be sold locally). There were some attempts in some islands to deal with the issue, but they all has, so far, been mostly torpedoed (like the Samoan ban on turkey tails imports which was lifted in recent years).

I like his pronunciation with the soft “ng sound” Ill start pronouncing that’a way🤩

[@Mike8827]

14:00 the term typhoon actually only applies to the Northwest Pacific , while „cyclone“ / cyclonic storm is actually a catch-all term that is used for any area that’s not hurricane or typhoon territory . So both the storms forming in the Indian Ocean and the Southern Pacific Ocean are called cyclones .

By the way, I think the accent at 12:00 is Irish! Either Irish or uhm..Hagrid's. 😂 (Edit: West English) Also, Kava is exactly how you pronounce the Polish coffee, "Kawa". Good stuff!

When will you react to the Turkey episode?

[@DinaricWolf]

Right after Tunis.

Watch out for the transitions, they're loud af

@@DinaricWolf My own advice: Try to make the eventual reaction of Turkey's episode the longest (European) one, ahead of the Russia and Spain episodes because I don't think it's wise to gloss over so many issues that Turkey must face, from its enmity towards Greece and Armenia to the inner timebomb of Syrian refugees and Kurdish secessionist movements (which Paul opted to plaster over in an unconvincing fashion).
