Love your video, I'm part Samoan on my dad side but didn't learn it as a child or while growing up. Currently trying to learn it but can only say "I love you"so far lol

[@MeasinaSamoa]

Thank you. I still act like I am sefulu lua if that helps lol

I'm full Samoan but born in The States. My wife is from American Samoan born and raised. So I'm here trying my best to learn simple phrases and words to better my samoan speaking bc eventually I want to be able to hold a conversation in Samoan with my wife.

[@MeasinaSamoa]

[@idhdkdueidiqweurroksn3508]

Your phrases are correct but when you ask for age I hear "e fia ou tauaga" more often. And answering you go like "e fitu-sefulu lua ou tausaga" or just say the number "fitu lua". I'm not 72 btw just an example lol. Your voice is so pretty

Thank you

[@theresamataeliga8156]

@@MeasinaSamoaI suppose you should say when asking for the age of a person. "E fia ou tausaga?" That would make sense in the language we are familiar with, I believe sometimes Samoan phrases cannot be translated in the English version structure of the phrase. "E fia tausaga a oe?", does not sound right and it is not used when we speak the language. Ae malo lava faafetai mo le galuega matagofie o le faalauiloaina o le tatou gagana.
