[@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

Just a small correction on that phrase how old are you. You would ask in samoan 'E fia ou tausaga'?. Ans in Samoan. E fa sefulu lua. You dont use *oute* in this case.

I was 42 when filming correct. 43 now.

[@BarbaraBoronda]

can you say aloha to samoan people

[@MeasinaSamoa]

of course you can but you would be speaking in Hawaiian. Aloha has many meanings in Hawaiian it can be hello (talofa in Samoan), good-bye (tofa) and even love (alofa in Samoan. Both beautiful languages, but both different.

[@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.
