SWEDISH VS SOMALI - Language Challenge

Swedish guy tries to speak Somali while Hadeel tries to speak Swedish in a language challenge (though Somali is not her mother tongue). This is a video in a series where I find foreigners or tourists and to make language challenges with.

[@hadeelsaeed3668]

That was one funny video. Thanks Martin for letting me appear in your language challenges, even though as some mentioned- it is a one-side- challenge. Plus, in this one my Somali sucks a bit, but still, anyone would understand. Martin, you're the best, waan ku jecelahay :-) PS: my mother language is Arabic.

[@befun859]

Hadeel Saeed that is good but your father is Somali right ? thanks

[@ajuranempire9429]

Hadeel Saeed hey sis you said that Somali is not your mother tongue,was wondering what you meant by that? What is your ethnicity?

[@nastehaguled9193]

Hadeel walashay masha Allah waa dadaashi

[@FARXYOBELLO]

[@nordscan9043]

I'm pretty sure she already speaks Swedish.

[@vzvsgsahagfacfandbb7926]

She said that Somali is not my mother tongue. But she tried her best. But let me correct the last sentence that says, I'm gonna miss the train" means in Somali tareenka wuu iga tegi doonaa".

[@Miraihi]

She already speaks Swedish reasonably well, not much a challenge :D

[@TheSwedishLad]

Elan Askerov the challenge is mine, ha ha

[@leylaask4565]

[@rozumiem45]

Åh, jag älskar dina filmer.:) Med en sådan lärare som du, jag kan lära sig svenska😉

[@naimam3976]

Kan jag lära MIG svenska*

[@seaditeyib9070]

@@naimam3976 vad menar du?

[@khadarchannel1644]

ilove you Somalia 🇸🇴

[@64imma]

I notice when Martin says something that's in the future tense, he uses "kommer att" rather than "ska". Is that a dialectal difference?

[@dementos7806]

I guess so, he is from a different region on Sweden that does have it's own take on the language.

[@CatastropheCalamity]

64imma Actually, from what I understand, ska is used when there is a decision to do something, whereas kommer att is used when something is just going to end up happening.

[@64imma]

Catastrophe! Calamity! Yeah that is kind of what I saw when I did some research after the video. There was another video where he said kommer att rather than ska and I assumed it was just a dialectal variant. Kind of an interesting distinction made

[@mohabashka8273]

She doesn't now as well somali

[@wow6708]

yes she does speak somali just a different dialect of the somali you speak. 5 dialects in Somalia

[@TheStarkman123]

I'm not Albanian, but please do a Swedish VS Albanian.

[@zakarianuurr6204]

I am somali but i was born in sweden so whene i saw this i clicked it straight away.

[@soomaalidaqarniga2193]

Hadeel wan ku jeclahay that means I love you

[@deqaali9167]

That was one of the worst somali i have ever heard, and somali is my mother tongue btw

[@drizm9257]

We actually care cuz you can barely understand what she's saying in Af-Somali.

[@wiiliskaako5875]

lol man you right

[@deqaali9167]

@SomalilA And that's why you like my comment ? How ironic

[@ms3fr296]

Her Somali sounded good. Her grammar was okay it could use improvement tho. But that is how my family speaks it and I understood her perfectly. Maybe you're just not familiar with the dialect. I am reer xamar iyo galeedi and she made perfect sense to me

[@aliciasofia2420]

Deqa Ali cmon respect😂😂

[@salmanmohamed4494]

thats awesome i like it. somali😊

[@the.trollgubbe2642]

Why do Somalis escape to Sweden, and then go back on vacation?

[@mukhtarshire1036]

guys cool down, she said, Somali isnt her first language and Lypian! How can u not like this cute girl and her choosing to teach somali?

[@YoungRapunzel]

What the heck is that for somali 😂😂😂 Its not even about her accent..its the whole pronunciation, get it together gurl.👍

[@hadeelsaeed3668]

You don't have to be rude. That does not make you a language- expert :-) calm down!

[@YoungRapunzel]

Hadeel Saeed I did not intend to be rude at any cost. I just pointed it out. Remember practice makes perfect sister. And don't take it as an offence. :) Cause I really enjoyed this video.

[@ninohassan1599]

Hadeel Saeed

[@acacius9903]

haha haha your comment was hilarious and no she wasn't being rude at all. She is just right and funny. We don't need to be hurt for no reason sister lol. Anyway indeed practice a lot and you will make it sister.

[@noahaabdi191]

[@CreamSockjill]

Hey Martin, awesome content as usual. Just wondering, besides English and Swedish, what other languages can you speak?

[@FirstNameLastName-gu1mu]

Wtf was that part where it turned night out of nowhere?

[@soomaalidaqarniga2193]

Hadeel your Somali is good Masha Allah And martin si fiican buu u keenay. Thank you for speaking Somali Martin

[@mandeeqomar914]

I speak somali and Swedish

[@nurali6699]

trainka wuu i moodayaa ama tareenka wuu iga tagayaa, just is not waa its wuu imoodayaa. somaali language is kind of latino writing if you learn rhe vocabulary word that fast, and you will write as you talk. if its not her mother tongue in somali . was she reading from somewhere for the words she saying, she is not somalia, i think she did great job.

[@shaafanasta4554]

Thank you for soomalia language

well done sis..u are right! and u alrady know sme important words of somali language..thnkz for ur traying😊☺😊👈

[@aliciasofia2420]

i like her somali accent 😊

[@umamedia4985]

There is a wrong sentence translated in somali

[@okocha291]

So if arab is your mother tongue then does that mean she is arab by ethnicity, someone mentioned she is libyan

[@honeybee9386]

yes she is from Libya

[@okocha291]

Libyan speaking somali..that don't make sense. She look's barawani

[@honeybee9386]

+okocha291 her parents were born and raised in Somalia and her grandmother (the father's side) is from Somalia

[@okocha291]

Do you know her personally because it seems like you do. So basically has libyan parents born and raised in somalia, never heard that before but you learn something new every day

[@honeybee9386]

+okocha291 no I don't know her but I've read her comment about that and you can find that comment in her video(swedish v arabic)

[@thejaramogi1]

But it was OK! give it a 7

[@jonasolsson8164]

Haha

[@prettydiamond8813]

So many ignorant Somali folks in the comments. Understand that there are many different dialects in Somalia. Treenka waa imoodayaa is a southern accent, Reer Xamar. Just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean it's wrong.
