Dating a Malaysian vs Dating an American

In this video we talk about dating a Malaysian vs. dating an American. Logesh is a Malaysian that moved to America, where he met Rachel, an American. We had to learn all the differences that came with dating cross culturally. We give our perspective on what it's like to date a Malaysian vs. an American. Through our time dating we figured out a cultural middle ground for many of our differences (except for wearing shoes in the house...there is no middle ground, never wear shoes in the house).
Watch this video to see how having a Malaysian date an American can truly bring up some comical situations, and how both Logesh and Rachel have thoroughly enjoyed learning more about each others' cultures.

I'm American. My husband is Malaysian. We have been married for 21 years with 2 kids. We can totally relate and have a million experiences we'll have to share with you some day. 😂

@@KumaarFamily we are living in Malaysia now. It was quite the culture shock. But now Malaysia is my home. How about the small expressions like 'off the light' instead of 'turn off the light'. 😅 My husband's first breakfast, I told him my mom was making biscuits and gravy. He replied, 'I'll just have bread with my gravy'. Biscuit is entirely a different concept.

[@farouqomaro598]

Yes... we are exposed to a lot of American television. My kids speak more of American than British. Some of the terms they use are different from what we used as kids... like gas station, trash can, gasoline. I guess American television has a big impact on our English.

I am a Malaysian living in the states too! and found it difficult to adapt to American English when I came here the first time. I said I need to go to the toilet and my American friends told me, "You mean restroom?" hahaha I get used to the different English terms after 4 years living here. Anyway, I love watching you both, and hello from the West Coast too!

[@axelneubert1387]

Malaysians know about good food, that's one thing I really miss in Germany. So one thing I miss most is hot, spicy food and teh tarik...

[@KumaarFamily]

It’s so true! Being away from Malaysia really makes you grateful for the food you can get back home!

[@shahrulraymond5970]

love your review... its funny as hell!!! Really enjoyed it!!!

[@chelutfi2254]

saya sangat suka channel ini.. teruskan buat video seperti ini 😁😁

[@fujiyamafs]

Bro Kumaar...on the Malaysian punctuality part... Sometimes, we just make it as a " flexible time"...😀😀

[@KumaarFamily]

So true!

[@sofiansulaiman4308]

Ha ha ha Thats true. Otw meants "still at home". Typical Malaysian...

[@JamesWoo]

I'm Malaysian, I used to be quite punctual. Rarely am I late. Nowadays more flexible 😂

[@jalalludinibrahim477]

Wow.. Such a wonderful memories u guy had..

[@KumaarFamily]

It was definitely fun to reminisce!

[@anniegeorge85]

Apart from knowing the fantastic experiences of Logesh & Rachel , this videos helped me a lot to practice English speaking , listening...Two birds with one stone 👍👍

[@cyrilaloysius8468]

Hi guys im not good in English but I’m learning a lot from channel look forward to see your next video

[@idrosismail8510]

Hi Logesh Just wondering - how do you address your in-laws? "Dad"? "Mom"?, or call them by their first name? Cos I have a friend married to an English; he'd address both his in-laws by their first names. For me (and I believe Asians too), I'd feel awkward and even disrespectful if I were to do that. Conversely, how does Rachel address her in-laws? Sorry, don't mean to pry. Just curious about this particular cultural 'baggage'.

[@KumaarFamily]

That’s a really great question! Logesh refers to Rachel’s parents as “Mom and Dad” and Rachel calls Logesh’s parents “Amma and Appa”. But you’re right, we do know a lot of Americans that call their in-laws by their first name!

[@TinnyChai]

I am Malaysian and I am dating a British man. I am glad that we do not have many differences in using words and phrases because we both speak in British English ( I do learn some British/Mancunian slangs) and I lived in the UK for a while. My bf is not good in spicy food so I may need to put more effort to train him up XD At least he loves Malaysian food =P BTW Yassss! Eating bad food will definitely ruin our whole day (the aftermath will also affect my working mood for the day too)!!! XP For us, only salt & pepper is too boring and plain af!

[@beckiel3211]

I married a British man myself for 22yrs now. We still have some minor misunderstanding which was no big deal. But there is some similarity especially on wet toilet /dry toilet, wearing shoes/no shoes allowed inside house, eating food completely and not to waste.

[@deevithanetto1753]

This family is soooo amazing... their videos are so interesting

[@psyamok3735]

LOL I can really relate to Kumaar! I have the same experience! Just have to sub and thumbs up!

Kami tetap anak Malaysia Kumaar. But whatever it is ...be it Malaysian or American we can adapt to the culture, food, beliefs etc if understanding plays an important role. U guys nailed it!!!😍👌Am l right or am l right?😊

[@KumaarFamily]

You are right Sara! Malaysians are very adaptable 😀

[@SaffiyahNana]

One of my friends was joking and said "I'm just pulling your leg." Me be like "What do you mean? Do you want to pull my leg?" haha. And the friend burst into laughter and said "Joking lahhhh ngok." damn, 😂

[@KumaarFamily]

Hahahaha! Sounds like something Logesh would say!

[@szewei85]

Haha interesting. Glad 2 see more cross cultural in youtube and its something we need now during covid.

[@KumaarFamily]

Glad you found it interesting!

Hi kumar... Selamat maju jaya ditempat org... Jaga nama baik malysia.. Good luck

[@graceemmanuell5727]

Hi Logesh. I live in the U.K. for over 20 years and we use the word ‘ I will pick you up’ and not fetch though ..

[@norulhaidar]

Guess its a Manglish then. "Fetch you" is very common here in Malaysia.

[@KumaarFamily]

+radiahluron you must be right, probably Manglish!

[@graceemmanuell5727]

Aiyoo despite living abroad, we tend to communicate in ‘ manglish’ amongst fellow Malaysians in the U.K. As the saying goes, you can take me out of malaysia but you can never take malaysia out of me😊

[@zrahmat9939]

When I was studying in UK people couldn’t believe I was from Malaysia as I have an American accent & don’t speak manglish 😂 thanks to my primary school teacher who was educated in the US. So I always say my father will pick me up at what time in secondary school & my friends (I went to a school where a lot of my primary school friends didn’t) would ask again, “so your father fetch you what time?”

Oh... I love this video very very much. Logesh hairstyle looks good and so handsome. Rachel looks so pretty, graceful and speaks so well with empathy and open. Logesh also cracks me up coz he is a total Malaysian. Both of you complement each other and I believe gratitude being blessed to be together as life partner. Love you both and keep the videos coming, appreciate to listen to Rachel more as it's fun to hear from the other side (me being Malaysian) how she feels life as American with a Malaysian spouse. Hahaha ... Kaypoh!!! Love your videos and family❤️❤️

[@KumaarFamily]

Rachel here! Thanks so much for your very kind and thoughtful comment! We’ll have to do more videos like this soon ❤️
