Hafa adai! I'm Chamorro born and raised. I currently live in Pensacola, Florida. I really enjoyed your site. Si Yu'os Ma'asi, Nen ❤

[@DaniAdams]

@@terrylaneallen4763 Håfa Adai and thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. How are the beaches in Pensacola?? Are they the same clear, blue waters like Guam?

[@terrylaneallen4763]

@DaniAdams Hafa adai! Along the Gulf, the beaches are quite the same as Guam. Though the color of the ocean is similar, the "feeling" is definitely not the same as Guam. I really miss the tropical scenery of Guam, which I've only seen closest to in Florida's Key West. In the Keys, there are coconut 🌴 and plumeria trees of various colors. Even houses built so close that it reminds me of Inajan Village. Oh yah! There were mango trees as well. Still, although this "Guamie" 😀 has left Guam; the "Guam" in me will forever abide in me 😀 Sending my warmest greetings and prayers for you all 😀 Esta later, escalator 😉😉😉

@@terrylaneallen4763 Yep! You can take the Guamanian out of Guam, but you can never take the island out of the islander haha! Guam's sunsets are also something that I haven't been able to witness anything that comes close to it. I totally get you mean about that feeling!

[@terrylaneallen4763]

@DaniAdams I said "Guamie " because of one of my Air Force instructors. He had asked me what the people of Guam are called, "Are you guys called Guamanese, Guamisian? What???" LOL!! I told him, "Guamanian, like Romanian" 😆 🤣 😂 Ai adai, these haoles! 😆 🤣 😂 It was he who said, "You can take the Guamie out of Guam, but not the Guam out of the Guamie!" 😀 For the remainder of my training with him, he called me Guamie 😉

[@DaniAdams]

​@@terrylaneallen4763 I say Guamie too sometimes! I think it's cuter haha

[@MLSCBOARDTABLET]

[@levelselect6800]

Murrieta, CA, i saw Chamorro was in the Google Translate app, but they got some things wrong in there.

[@DaniAdams]

@@levelselect6800 Haha yeah I've tried to use that sometimes, but then I always end up reaching out to one of my relatives to verify 😂 They're the experts for sure!

[@alwinvargas5452]

Does chamorro have spanish language influence. Some words sound like spanish

[@DaniAdams]

Yes! At 4:44 I talk about how Guam was occupied by Spain in the late 1500s so there's definitely a lot of Spanish influence on the language, food, and religion.
