Indians Give Me Free Food When I Speak Gujarati

Thanks to Kamikoto for sponsoring this video - check out kamikoto.com/Xiaomanyc for $50 off your order! What happens when a foreigner speaks the Gujarati language, which is one of India’s hundreds of unique languages? Many Indians here in America are from this one state in India called Gujarat, so today I speak Gujarati with them. People were totally surprised, and then they gave me free food. Speaking of free food, I also tried a lot of great Gujarati food like paan, masala chaas, bajra no rotlo, and of course Gujarati thali. Yum!

[@yunglynda1326]

Some CLASSIC Gujju dishes i hope you get to eat are these!! 1. Khichadi (basically our version of comfort food "Chicken Soup" -- so easy to make and perfect for a rainy day-- rice and lentil porridge with turmeric. also has similar versions across north india and bangladesh), i love it with Dahi(yogurt) or you can add spicy pickled mango & Chaash which is a spiced buttermilk. 2. Kadhi (an incredible hot sour tiny bit sweet soup made with flour, herbs, spices, and a bit of dairy) usually eaten with rice, a thicker moong daal, rotli and a shakh/sabji/sabzi vegetable sautee. 3. Ghésh (this is a comfort food: rice made with milk instead of water, best served hot with ghee and extra milk🙏🏾) Gujarati dishes are wonderful for folks wanting something unique amd incredible while being vegetarian !!

I love seeing new cultures and these language videos :) makes my day

[@TheChiraagG]

Been watching your vids for a while now as it's truly impressive what you do. Finally I have something I can actually analyse for accuracy. You get the point across and that's all that matters for breaking the communication barrier, but of course it'll be tough with so many other languages floating around in the noggin. Interestingly I noted the use of Hindi numbering (ek, do, teen) as opposed to the Gujarati equivalent (ek, beh, tran - sorry my phonetic transcription of these sucks as I'm not clued up on any IPA besides beer). It's not an issue as most Gujaratis, if not all, will know basic numbers in both languages. My mind doesn't seem to be quite as astute with multiple languages but I think it's almost a superpower, quite possibly the best one to have in real world environments. Keep it up

[@ManOfSteel1]

2:40 when you asked for roti/bread he said I'll make for you that is the essence of Indian food we make fresh and eat fresh but the west thinks we waste too much time on cooking and eating the food but the real essence is freshness and love, you can't measure that in food but might feel if awakened.

[@seann9883]

They give you free things because your showing them a great respect. Many races epically Indians know mostly hate from Americans so to have one come in and order their culture meals in their cultural language is a sign of love and respect to them. Keep up the love man

[@harshilpatel684]

Enjoyed watching this as a second Generation Gujarati who grew up in London but speaks Gujarati mainly at home still. A lot of my mates who are perhaps third gen speak like you do, made me realise how hard the tenses are hard to crack for a non native speaker, even for myself, its the giveaway that Im not from Gujarat when I visit.

Honestly it is very inspiring watching you learn and speak these languages so fast and well, it makes me want to try, i know its going to take me way longer than you because you are seriously a genius, this type of stuff is not easy and you gotta have lots of determination and will to not give up!

[@dianecandoflamtaps9557]

It is mind boggling to me how you can learn so many languages, and speak so well that the natives are really impressed! I’m blown away!! You have a gift many of us only dream of having. Also, it is sad to me how people from all around the world speak English perfect, but here in the United States, millions of Americans can’t even speak one language properly, their own native language, much less learn another language!! Truly sad and pathetic!! Thanks for sharing!! 👍👍

I just moved to England and started a new job where I go to hundreds of independent small convenience shops around Kent and act as a business advisor to shop owners. Out of the 40 I've been to so far, only one of them was owned by a Brit and literally exactly 10 of them were owned by a Mr or M(r)s Patel. One Greek, one Canadian (unexpectedly), 8 Sri Lankans and the rest Indian. I speak a small amount of Hindi (only about 100 words) and tried it today in a shop but they were speaking Gujarati (ofc they also speak Hindi as it's the national language). I wanna learn some regional Indian languages now, especially since part of my job is selling certain stock to them. Could be invaluable. Those Gujarati guys today though, were so hard to deal with though haha, they tried every trick in the book to get more money out of me in our contract, including making up some stories knowing I was new, and refusing to sign the final signature after signing all the others unless they got an extra £50. If I spoke some Gujarati I bet it would have been 10x less stressful dealing with them.

[@manasstudywithme2689]

Hindi is majorly understood by North Indians because we need something to communicate 😅

@@littlebirdie4333 "National language" may have been a poor choice of words but I meant it as "the official language that's endemic to the country" since English is from England. I guess that's more what people say Hindustani language. I don't know, I'm a silly Brit xD A lingua franca I suppose. Best chance of someone anywhere in the country understanding is probably some basic Hindi/Hindustani right? Delhi has so much influence due to the government.
