It's so interesting to know that "neh" is used by south africans too, because in brazilian portuguese we use this same expression for the same meaning 😯 It's like "you're coming, neh?" as in "you're coming, right?". Which in brazilian portuguese it would be "você vem, né?" as in "você vem, certo?"

[@mutomboinprogress]

Juliana! Omgggg it has been a while! Hope all is well. 💕 Good to see you in the comments again. This is so interesting! Neh, né… Germans use it too, according to another comment. We are all one 😁

[@naledikeshebang1134]

Wow... nice

[@joe_lubinda]

Well the dutch settlers brought dutch there which evolved to Afrikaans. Afrikaans is old dutch mixed with Portuguese and various African languages so I think the black South Africans adopted the "neh". Europeans adopted some words from our languages and vice versa.

And another thing is because when they here us speak pigin I guess that also makes them think we are Nigerian and then when I speak French they automatically think I'm from Congo 😅😅

[@noxzienocturnal2103]

We use "neh" so much but I've never actually thought of the context in which it is used. Depending on the the context, you either use it when you want confirmation and assurance or when you agree with what's being said. Mzansi translates to South. It's from isiXhosa and isiZulu, Mzansi Africa= South Africa. So it's not really slang, it comes from the dialect, we've just shortened it by removing Africa.

[@mutomboinprogress]

I think I hear Mzansi more in commercials than in day to day discussions. Ooo okay, I get it. Someone said ‘Neh’ is more like ‘right?’ And that makes so much sense. Thanks Noxzie ❤️

I can relate to a number of things you shared about culture shock although in a different setting. My parents are also from two tribes in Cameroon and I am sadly not fluent in either dialect because I grew up in the cities and had limited exposure to them. I love hiking for the same reasons: The view on top and sheer feeling of accomplishment (surviving the climb)!

I can't speak my country's 'home' language fluently either - just simple phrases and...curse words XD My parents were always busy and only spoke to me in English. My grandmother was of that generation where our local dialect was still seen as 'low class' so she only spoke to me in the (less than fluent) English she knows. Only recently has she tried changing that because there's been a recent cultural push to preserve the language.

[@mutomboinprogress]

Hi Nicole, you had me laughing at curse words 😂😂😂😂. This thing that you said has given me an idea for another video. The response to me saying that I don’t know my mother tongue Has been mixed but mostly indignante from people who speak their mother tongue. Your explanation on why the mother tongue faded away as the generations progressed right up to you is interesting and a bit different from my explanation (as a child, my relatives who spoke the vernacular constantly berated and mocked me when they would say something and I didn’t understand or if I asked the meaning of something. Instead of teaching me what I didn’t know, they would tell me to be ashamed of myself and it at some point, the thought of learning the dialect only brought thoughts of being mocked and I actually gave up. In addition to everything else I explained in the video). So I am inspired to do a deep dive into how the vernacular is passed down across generations in Africa.

[@no.6377]

@@mutomboinprogress It's interesting you should mention that! I wanted to keep my comment positive, but I've experienced the mocking too. Now that speaking our dialect is so accepted and a matter of pride, people who can't speak it fluently are made fun of(some teasing, some harsher). Even my own grandmother chastises me for not knowing(yes, the same one that actively avoided speaking it to me). I'm an adult now and I've honestly lost all interest in learning because of these negative experiences. The fact is, it's a "home" language passed down orally. There's very little literature and other resources to learn independently, which makes it an investment of time and effort that I don't care enough to take up, especially when: 1. The people that it would enable me to communicate better with are the same ones being rude to me 2. English is still by far the 'dominant' language in every aspect of daily life That's my TedTalk :P Looking forward to the video!

Sisi is actually a yoruba word/slang especially in Nigeria use for a beautiful young lady. The "must" must 😂 be from the apartheid era, where people were suppressed, commanded against their will.Cameroon is more Nigerian than most people think.Eastern Nigeria, from the North to the south are the same people/tribes as western Cameroon. I've always believed west African countries should have been mapped /divided in latitudes rather than the North South, longitude system it is today.That would have kept the tribes in the same country, which would have helped the peace and development of the continent. I hope and pray we all can wake up and see Africans as one and the same people, that have expanded and migrated, spread out across the continent. Thank you.

Yaaaaaayyy 🍾... love this video. You are not alone on that one once they ask me my language I just look to the sky😂😂😂... "Neh" is just another way of saying "right"... learning the languages in South Africa is really just😅😅... I can speak Afrikaans and understand Xhosa. Enjoyed this very well❤

[@mutomboinprogress]

Wow I envy you! How long have you been in SA?

[@cynmontego6758]

Neh means Right ✅ Eg you are coming right🤣🤣🤣

[@sabelomlambo3586]

In South Africa it's easier and you are more likely to hear people speak their native tongue because for the most part our languages are similar to each other. For example Zulu, Xhosa, Swati and Ndebele are one cluster. SeTswana, Sesotho and Sepedi are part of one cluster. Xitsonga sounds like a mix of Nguni and TshiVenda.

[@mutomboinprogress]

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you Sabelo. When I explain this to people, they think I just don't want to speak my language but once I left for boarding school at 11 yrs old, there was literally no other human being I could speak it with and by the time I went home for holidays at the end of the year, I'd forgotten the little that I had learned. That was my life for 7 years. Then I went to uni in another town where the probability of meeting someone from my village was even smaller. The experiences vary across the continent.

Wena is you in Sotho

[@esihleqangule5523]

I mean don't sell yourself short, you know both "sisi" AND "wena" 😂😂 so you're well on your way to being fluent in Xhosa ❤️😂 Also Mzansi is really the Zulu/Xhosa word for South. It's means that. South or bottom because SA is at the bottom on the continent.

[@mutomboinprogress]

😂😂😂😂😂 thank you Esihle, this made me laugh so hard!

[@thulanibida6677]

Xhosa not Zulu

[@esihleqangule5523]

@@thulanibida6677 the above spelling is actually Zulu. Ngoba ngesiZulu akekho uNtsi but there is Nsi. If it was Xhosa it would be Mzantsi. But also nangesiZulu when something is at the bottom or underneath kushiwo ukuthi ingezansi. Hence I referred to both languages because the word it's self exists in both languages but the prominent spelling is taken from isiZulu.

Neh? =Right?

[@1ntuthukozwane]

Mzansi means "at the bottom" or below. It is also the name of Southeastern African people as in Zanzibar and Zanj or Zanyi or Zani or Zwane or Zagwe or Tanzania. There are also Phezulu people. Most rulers of Central and Southern African Bantu tribes come from Zulu tribes called Mthethwa and Ndwandwe who are both from KZN, even so-called Sotho tribes such as Pedi (Mbatha or Xaba or Mashaba), Tswana (Zwane) and some Ndebele tribes also speak Sesotho-Pedi-Tswana e.g. Ndzudza = Xhosa = Ntombela = Mthombeni = Kekana = Macingwane = Cebekhulu = Linda/Lunda = Ndau = Ndzau = Nyawo = Mlawu = Ilunga/Kau = Ngalo = Tau = Ngwenyama = Ngwenya = Mokoena = Nkuna = Babanango. These are part of Sibiya tribes.

[@1ntuthukozwane]

That's why some people want to change the name of South Africa to Azania. Because of our history as Southeastern Bantu and the Zulu's Royal clan did not have an heir until a Mthaniya (Mzania for amaZunda, Mthaniya for Tekela speakers like the Swazi, who make up most of the Zulu people, yes, the bulk majority of the Zulus are of Swazi heritage including me as a 2nd generation South African from my father's side). But the Swazi clan came from the Ndwandwe clan who call themselves Ngoni in Central Africa. I can go quite deep with this. But the Zulus are basically the Kingdom of Ndongo and Matamba that was headquartered in Kikongo, Angola that was descended from the Lunda-Luba Kingdom. Lunda-luba itself means Zuluba, as an Elephant is a Zhou (as in Zuma means Mandlovu or Elephant and Ndou/Duma or Dube/Mbedu or Hlubi or Tlou - this is basically the same tribe which originated the Zulu clan. So, Lunda-Luba becomes Zhouluba = Zuluba = AmaZulu. Also called amaZawa or Zawe or Zare or Zaye = Zaire. Or Zila or Lazul or Azul or AZulawa or Nzule or Nzori or Wasoulou or Nyasulu. We came from Middle East to Central Africa to North and West Africa, to Europe (where we founded Spain as Moro people), then through wars we spread to Asia, America and Southern, Central and East Africa. What divides us the most us is religion - most Muslim Bantus you will find in West Africa, even though there are remnants of Swahili Muslims called Yao in Tanzania where they were headquartered along with Mozambique. The Christians were in Central Africa from since the 1st Century just after Christ died there were large states with Christianity as the state religion such as in Angola. Among the Christians lived the animists and this was a huge source of conflict and why some families are blood related by far flung. Mthombo means Kimbudu or Mbuduma or Mbuthuma or Manala Ndebele who came from Sudan (they are called amaZunda in KZN). Another name for them is Mphotho or amaMpondo Duma. They are Congo people we also call Khoekhoe or Khoikhoi or Ntshalintshali who were the first in South Africa - most Bantu tribes found them here. That is where the name of the capital of Mozambique Maputo comes from. It means Mabutho = fighters in the army. Also called Mandinga or Wasoulou = amaZulu.
