Traditional ALBANIAN BREAKFAST in Tirana & Rakija Flight | Tirana, Albania

[@fmcgdistributorse-distribu6928]

Have been to Tirana in 2000. Looks beautiful and has grown for the better. Nice People. Hello from Juzna Afrika - South Africa

[@JJ-zg7ug]

Yep it is much much better now.There is still a bit of work to be done, but it has changed a lot in 20 years. Thank you friend from south africa. Mandela is the best. 🇦🇱❤️ 🇿🇦

[@dougtucker4783]

You're killing me! I have been to Albania four times and you are making me want to go again. The food, being all organic and fresh is simple but more flavourful than anything this side of the Atlantic. Faleminderit shume!! (I think the locals would prefer you to say "raki", not "rakija".) I first had raki at 9 in the morning on a Tuesday and never forgot it. It really "opens up the sluices at both ends"! Magical.

[@FM-xr5nj]

Hey Doug, did you have any issues with the language while you were there, or does everyone speak English for the most part? How were you able to get around? I'm interested in visiting but don't know how to speak Albanian.

[@dougtucker4783]

@@FM-xr5nj In Tirana, you can get by with English. But you should get the Simon & Schuster (sp?) How to Speak Albanian. 10 lessons of 20 minutes each. Good primer and it will charm people as well as being practical.

[@metigame1450]

Hahah nice one, you are more than welcome .

[@FatShady15]

Raik and rakija are both correct in albanian, they mean the same thing here. The base noun for the drink is raki. U can ad the -ja suffix sometimes. It's interchangeablefor example we can say both "Rakia eshte e mire" or "rakija eshte e mire" to mean "(the) rakija is good/delicious" I guess it depends from the region. But simply "raki" is the "non-the" form of the noun So Albanian - English Raki = rakija Rakija/rakia = the rakija

About the espresso: Some Albanians from the biggest cities, started drinking espresso in cafes and hotels already in the '30s or before, not the '90s. Italian influence clearly didnt start in the '90s. Those buildings you saw were also built in the '30s. Choose a better guide next time. Nice video nonetheless! Thanks for visiting Albania!

[@pekkalanger5076]

People in general don’t know this but espresso originates from Albania, the italians just claimed it as their own thing. Many such cases.

[@ojgig9140]

@@pekkalanger5076 Nice one!😁 Just in case you were serious, I meant that Albania was under the Italian influence well in the '30s. To top it off, the Albanian self-proclaimed King Zog "made sure" his Italian friends invaded Albania in 1939 (WWII) while he escaped abroad with the country's gold... but that's another story.

raki- is popular in Greece, Bosnia and other Balkan countries and is called the national drink of Turkey.
