Mr. Giant Reacts WHY ROMANIAN TRADITIONS ARE SO WEIRD

[@varaneti1973]

If you loose your traditions you loose your identity! Ting Mr Giant!

[@MrGiant]

So true, we keep our traditions on the island where I am from.

[@clarakam3858]

And we have all others traditions, not only this😂. We are crazy period , but i love my crazy romanians and i pray this traditions to stay for ever& ever❤

[@nicoletamedrea9988]

In Romania traditia este vie. Tarile Europene bogate au renuntat la tradițiile lor, le vad doar in muzeu. Din fericire noi inca traim traditia .

[@draculakickyourass]

Ce te face sa crezi asta? Toate tarile europene au traditiile lor,nu numai ca le-au pastrat,dar sunt promovate si sponsorizate de autoritatile locale pentru promovarea turismului in zona.Cateva din cele mai cunoscute (Poti gasi videouri aici pe youtube) Germania,Austria,Elvetia au Krampus,cum e ziua cucilor la noi,umbla mascati si ,,biciuie'' trecatorii. In Bavaria merg cu capra si cu ursul,exact ca la noi.Apoi toate tarile catolice au carnaval,cele mai renumite fiind cel de la Venetia si cele din Brazilia. Franta,regiunea Provence au festivalul gardienilor,in sud au la Chandeleur,etc Spania.....aici as avea o lista de traditii satesti mult mai bogata decat in Romania(locuiesc de 20 de ani si nu doar cunosc,dar si particip) Moros y cristianos, la fiesta de la sardina, los fuegos valencianos, la tomatina, la fiesta de toros din Pamplona, ar fi cele mai populare,cunoscute pe plan international,pe linga fiestele medievale,unde lumea se imbraca in port traditional si au multe activitati traditionale si targuri, mai au o fiesta anume a fiecarei localitati care dureaza cate o saptamana.De scandinavi,irlandezi,scotieni,basci,catalani ,gali nu mai povestesc ca ar trebui sa scriu capitole ...... Vezi asta inseamna sa-ti dai cu opinia fara sa cunosti.....

In my dream I see MR Giant, President of Romania, because he loves and respects Romania more than all politicians. I love MR. (Not like a man who loves another man) because you promote all the beautiful things about Romania.God bless you even though I am a convinced atheist I apologize for my English, but I hope the essentials have been understood💙💛❤️ Please Mr visit Romania

[@MrKojac9]

Hello i wish for you to come to ROMANIA especially in the winter and have the greatest winter holidays in Bucovina , Transilvania.You will love the good time and great food.

[@MrGiant]

Sounds great! Its on my bucket list.

[@KeesBoons]

Very enjoyable video and a lot of traditions I didn't know anything about. All Saints (allerheiligen) is still celebrated here in the Netherlands, but I think it will die out in a couple of generations. Traditionally the graves of loved ones are being visited and decorated with flowers or plants and candles in my region.

[@TheNeamtu]

Hi again :) About Death. Dacians believed that dying is the reward for putting up with the punishment wich was life. They embraced death, laughing. On the other hand, when a child was born, they cry, knowing what lies ahead for him/her. One of the most honorable death was to be thrown into spears, because they believed that the one being selected to do that would soon be in the company of Zalmoxis, so before the ceremony, the selected one, who was the bravest and the smartest among the teenagers selected, would be given all sort of prayers and messages to deliver to Zalmoxis, the Elder of Elders. If the death was swift, it ment the gods were satisfied with the offering, and a big feast followed, usually for 3 or more days, celebrating the clean death and the success of the departed. Death ment, for them, the end of the struggle, the end of a working life, the end of all misery and pain. Such as the vikings, the dacians celebrated death as a way to go among the gods, for a eterny of feasting and drinking.

[@tricisport8259]

Neamtule, they should have valued life instead.

[@Greensanctuary-c4w]

It is actually present in Serbia too. We have the same costumes , because we are the same people.

[@clarakam3858]

She forget to say that water is sooo cold, January ( winter time) so they go on that water almost naked in freezen wheter❤

[@alexandrav745]

Another odd habit:In Romania, people from the village still slaughter the pig in the yard. It seems such a barbaric custom and yet it is done with great care and dedication. The pig's blood is kept and a special sausage called "sangerete" is made from it, because sange = blood. The pig is placed on the straw to be roasted, but before starting the flame, the youngest/smallest in the household has the honor of being mounted on the pig, for abundance and wealth. After all the work is done, a good piece of meat is kept and a pig's alms is cooked, to honor its sacrifice. Somehow, in all the barbarity of the event, it seems to me much more decent to kill what you consume, to take responsibility and know exactly how and with what sacrifice that meat ends up in your pan, than to have countless animals killed in slaughterhouses, without knowing if they get to be consumed or expire and are destroyed.

[@MrGiant]

Thank you for shaing. This is quite interesting.

[@clarakam3858]

There is a video on you tube about that , yes:))))

[@alexandrav745]

I don't think youtube allows that type of content 😄

[@alexandrav745]

Ooooo! I guess it does allow the content if it doesn't include the killing .Search for : Tăierea și pomana porcului Bucovina english sub 😄

She loose it if it' s a saint birthday & i wash 😂😂😂😂, noooo. And sunday is for church , don' t do laundry , don' t wash, don' t saw etc just stay & pray 😂😂😂

[@dragosvieru3158]

Well, about slaughtering the pig. Almost all parts of the animal are eaten. The list of the foods made from meat is endless: soric, chișca, caltaboși, cârnați, carne la garniță, slănină, mușchi afumat, răcituri. Like amerindians who had the bisons, romanians have pigs to survive the winter. For me indians from North America and from Peru are true examples of humans living according to nature. In my childhood I took part of many pigs slaughterings. Now I find them brutals. The traditions and the believes are what makes us humans - forms of dealing with the unknown. You are a good Man Mr. Giant. Maybe someday I'll show Romania and all youu can see on KZbin You will fiind scratching the surface. I climbed the mountains of my country, apropos there 2 different mountains ranges: Carpați and Munții Măcinului, I visited a lot of caves not all 1000, I saw voievodal necropolas from Moldova and Muntenia, all painted churchies, the wooden churches of Moldova etc.

[@draculakickyourass]

You guys believe the pig slaughter is only in Romania??? Nope,it happends in all the villages of Europe.For example in Spain is called ,,matanza'' ,and,surprise,they prepare the pig exactly like in Romania. As you mentioned the sangerete,they make it too,is called ,,morcilla''.You make piftie? They make it too,called ,,gelatina'' You prepare carnati,toba,caltabosi,sunca? It's called,,chorizos, salchichas, salamines, longanizas,panceta. The pig skin, sorici is so popular they serve it in restaurants,it's called,,cortijo'' ,not to forgot their ,,jamon''wich is world famous.(In fiecare an cu o familie de prieteni spanioli mergen la satul parintilor lor,in regiunea Zamoracumparam un porc in jumate si-l taiem impreuna,sa ne facem pofta😄,de asta le cunosc traditiile. Sa nu uit,pe acolo la sate inca merg copii cu colindul,sau,,villancicos'' cum se numeste in spaniola, la noi nu am mai vazut,se pierde traditia) PS: diferenta e ca aici vin cu colindul toti copiii deodata,nu in grupuri mici cum mergeam noi,cum se zice,cate bordeie,atatea obiceie,si o alta diferenta este ca daca vrei sa primesti colindatori trebuie sa-ti scrii numele si adresa pe o lista din holul primariei. Ei vor merge doar la adresele de pe lista,ceea ce mi se pare o idee buna. Daca aveti curiozitatea sa vedeti cum colinda,am gasit un clip aici: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHTVlHivmtarfKs

[@dragosvieru3158]

N-am zis ca e doar la romani. Am explicat cum e la noi. Atata tot. Am uitat sa amintesc toba.

[@draculakickyourass]

@@dragosvieru3158 😁bravo ca ai mentionat,doar ca toba si leberbusul sunt de origine din Bavaria,de fapt e leberwurst,care literalmente inseamna carnat de ficat.😀

Romanian tradition is not wired. Why everything that is not American is wired. Every one has their own tradition and we should respect that. Love to my Romanian brothers and sisters from Serbia 🇷🇸

I had a surprise seeing a serbian wedding on youtube....if i mute the music and show it to a romanian,he would think it is a romanian wedding,it's exactly the same.

[@danascully6698]

Because the video was made by a Hungarian girl and you know that the Hungarians are Romanian's "best friends" and they love us so much. And they are Serbian's "best friends" too, if I'm not mistaken somehow. Happy New Year and La Multi Ani for you and the entire Serbian people!

In New Year we have a tradition to walk with CAPRA ( the goat 😂 ) . This in Banat is call ȚURCA ( tzurca) . Men sing:" ța-ța-ța, căpriță, ța!" ( tza-tza-tza, little goat, tza)

As a Romanian, this is not at all reprezentative for Romania. Those presented are very regional, not national. As presented here, Rimanians are very supersttitious, but we are not. We are orthodox christians, thus we strongly oppose superstitions.

[@eddiOrtiz]

Mr.giant if u want to start too understand what u are saying about the "death" traditions, u have too start too look into videos about the dacians and their belives, the were reveared as a the strongest warrior peoples of their time and were feared by the romans the most at that time

[@MrGiant]

I have reacted to some videos about them, but I plan to do more fo sure.

[@geozaharia3715]

Tradițiile românești par ciudate, doar pentru că ele sunt foarte vechi, au substrat în perioada precreștină, cu mii de ani în urmă. În folclorul românesc s-au păstrat tradiții, credințe, dansuri, balade , poezie populară, colinde asociate Crăciunului care s-au "creștinat" , adică sincretism, vechi de mii de ani. De exemplu "călușarii" sunt un dans în patrimoniul UNESCO ca fiind cel mai vechi, un dans de inițiere pentru tineri în vechime și de vindecare. Nu e de mirare, pentru suntem cea mai veche și statornică populație din zonă , din zona noastră au roit în vechime triburi, care apoi au populat toată Europa. Suntem leagănul Europei, citiți istoricul Gimbutas.

[@MrGiant]

Thank you for sharing. This is one of the things that made me intrested in Romania, the share vastness of the history.

[@draculakickyourass]

Eu cred ca ai fi surprinsa sa afli ca mersul cu colindul,capra,ursul,plugusorul,semanatul,etc se gasesc si in alte tari. Cauta villancicos in Spania.... au si plugusor,dar la ei se merge literalmente cu un plug😃, iti strica si gazonul sau gradina din fata casei cand canta,ara acolo o brazda de un metru si seamana grau,daca rasare si creste ei nu-l taie,zic ca aduce noroc si belsug in casa. Cauta Krampus in Germania ,Austria sau Kekatas sau Budeli in tarile baltice,vei avea o mare surpriza😄. De asemenea cum avem noi capra si ursul ei au Lesana Ciganos,acelasi taraboi,inseamna ,,a face pe tiganul''😃 Si astea sunt doar in tarile pe care le stiu eu,sigur mai sunt si in alte tari.

As romanian christian i dont agree mix christianity with pagan, also traditions are useless , on big city already disapear

[@clarakam3858]

Asta este opinia ta. Tradițiile sunt frumoase de ce : 1. Pentru că definesc un popor și strămoșii săi( străbunicii , bunicii etc). 2. Sunt unice și așa recunoști o nație după aceea unicitate( cum ar fi dacă spaniolii ar renunța la dansurile lor tradiționale devenite acum competiții, sau italienii ar fi renunțat la pizza lor si la spaghete, sau chinezii de atația ani la mâncarea lor tradițională devenită atât de bine cunoscută în întreaga lume etc etc ) Un popor este unic prin tradiții, mâncăruri tradiționale , port tradițional etc așa este recunoscut în lume acel popor, este " amprenta " ceea mai valoroasă. Halloweenul de exemplu știi că este din America , așa recunoști acel popor etc și de unde vine Halloween ul. Persoane ca tine gândesc așa pentru că mai mult ca sigur ești spălat pe creier de " noua modă" care de fapt este inutilă și luat la grămadă de prin ce țări s a putut, amalgam bun de nimic , de nimicuri , brand uri și doar atât, noua generație este spălată complet pe creier și după revoluție a dat de " libertatea " asta care a fost înțeleasă greșit : hai să iubim drogurile, brand urile, muzica de cartier și cam atât care apropoo sunt " împrumutate" desigur din alte țări. Voi pur și simplu nu mai vedeți ce aveți valoros real în jurul vostru și unic pentru că fix vă uitați " precum caii" sau " ce este în curtea vecinului este mai frumos , mai interesant dar le uitați pe ale voastre , nu le păstrați , alții admiră și alte culturi , obiceiuri , tradiții dar și le păstrează sfinte și pe ale lor. Și aș mai avea multe să scriu contra acestui comentariu al tău complet naiv și fals dar sper să ți deschidă macar mintea un pic. Până atunci gândește - te ce s ar fi întamplat dacă toate țările AR RENUNȚA LA TRADIȚII , OBICEIURI, CULTURA LOR, MÂNCAREA LOR TRADIȚIONALĂ , CEEA CE II DEFINEȘTE REAL CA POPOR , CA NAȚIE , CE AR DEVENI LUMEA ASTA ÎNTREAGĂ, GLOBUL , OAMENII ? CUM AI RECUNOAȘTE O NAȚIE, CE LIMBĂ UNIVERSALĂ AI VORBI? ETC ETC
