I’m not South African, but both my parents are so I hear this a lot! For those confused, I’m adopted lol

I grew up in Joburg but have lived in the UK for almost 15 years now, weird seeing how many of these I still use today despite having completely lost my accent.

"ja" means yes in all Germanic languages except for English...

I love that you teach people so much about our country.❤🇿🇦

I’m from South Africa (this is my mums acc) ❤️❤️ I love that you are teaching people things like this 😁

"Eish" is basically "Oof" 😂

Rosy is die beste 😴 (en haar video's is lekker!)

In German "lecker" means tasty.

You guys also say things like “air con” and “robots” which in the US we just call it air conditioning and traffic lights. I know it’s not slang but I found it so interesting! LOVED this video by the way. Brought back all the feels from when I spent time there 🥰❤️😊 (If you couldn’t tell, I really love your country and can’t wait to go back) x

First thing my SA cousin says to me when I arrive in Johburg is "Hey Broer, wanna joll?"

If you said kief in the US, we'd all try to smoke it

Eish is Afrikaans for damn girl you give me lekker tingles 😊

Best ASMR just found this channel

Omg this bought back memories, both of visiting South Africa and of primary school lol. My year 6 teacher was from South Africa (I'm from NZ, we have a lot of South Africans here lol) and every time a kid would complain about something dumb (the work was too hard or something), she'd say jokingly "ag shame, you poor dear" hahahaha. Edit - just got to the now bit lol. Every South African I've ever met says "just now." "I'll do it just now."

us brits use that term too “jislaaik” but we say it like “YA SLAG”

My whole family is from Johannesburg but emigrated to Australia 22 years ago. I finally understand half my childhood!

This is so interesting. Got me to thinking of all the words we use in the US which are probably weird to other countries lol. I perked up when you were talking about the traditional South African braai. It reminds me of that video GentleWhispering did showing traditional Russian foods and salads that she made. You should do one of those but for traditional South African dishes. That would be so interesting. You're the first South African ASMRist I have seen so you must represent 😁😁😁 lol. Love your videos! ❤

Yay A new Rosy video, Some how you always post the exact same time I'm going off to bed.

Lekker is Dutch for tasty in case you wondered

Lekker also means the same in norwegian as in SA/afrikaans. Ja is used in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland (in icelandic it's já) and as you said, in Norway. Love your videos!

In Poland we have a different slang and one of this slang (Silesia slang) we say "Ja" and it's mean the same like in South affrican. But in Poland another definition the word "Ja" is I or me.

My dad is soutafrican he grew up in Cape Town and has a strong accent I don’t know my dad personally but my mom and me took a trip to South Africa and visited many places there including Cape Town so I’m happy I can learn more about a big piece of my DNA and btw it is very beautiful in South Africa

Interesting learning about all these words, as when I tend to hear slang from where I’m from (Australia) I often can’t recall it, as it’s pretty automatic to me. Pretty cool you’ve remembered them all, you have a very relaxing voice as well.

I love to watch your videos as a dutchie!😂

Also LOVE the tapping in this video! 💖❤️

I am Norwegian and I can clarify that ja is yes in Norwegian, so you are not wrong there. this video is very relaxing, I'll like and subscribe right now.

you should make a part 2 including words like "awe" , "hos" , "gimba", salute" and some more local slang🙈😅😂

Those are so accurate 😂😂😂

Bruh the way u tap on the board in the beginning is so relaxing😍

Its true though those words are hard to explain and yes i am fron south africa

What a wonderful girl Rosie is.. excellent channel. Im fascinated with afrikaans and boer culture. Thanks for the lessons

In UK slang (rhyming slang), 'China' is short for 'China plate' = mate. E.G: "Hello me China" = "Hello mate"

I love your whisper! ❤️❤️❤️

Eish is basically "damn"

5:05 never knew that was Afrikaans slang, we say it all the time here in Australia for the same meaning

“eish” is similar to “aish” which means “what” in Arabic 😂.

The only SA slang I know is the word “Boykie” 😂

Eish sound simmular to æsj wich is an expression of discust in Norwegians And Lekker is nice or beautiful in Norwegian

I've lived in the US for over 20 years now and when you started talking about the difference between braai and BBQ, I FELT YOU. I still have a hard time make this make sense to my American friends, so a good excuse to host one the best we can here to show them, ha.

Ja = Yuh Eish = Oof lmao Lekker = The flavours are melting on my tongue Sharp Sharp = Ok I got it (forgets) Jislaaik = holy sh¡tballs Siff = That's nasty ew get away from me Yebbo = Like Sharp Sharp but u actually remember to do it Shame = Awww that's sad, anyways.. Ag = For focks sake Kiff = Hey that's kinds cute- Skinner = Just gossip Fundi = Let the pro handle this Voetsek (or tsek) = Fock off b¡tch Braai = BBQ but different (ITS NOT THE SAME IDC WHAT U SAY) Now = ~Within 15 minutes Just now = ~Like an hour or so Now Now = It's never happening.. Aikona = Ayo wtf? Babbelas = Hangover but cooler.. yeah.. Bru/Bra/Boet = Bro but white highschool boy version, probably from Joburg Toy-Toy = Beating around the bush Gatvol = I'm so over it Tune = Putting someone back in their place Eina = OUCH Hayibo = Like I can't believe you just did that wtf is wrong with u, but in the nicest way possible Chow = To eat or it can mean food Gogga = a bug that crawls and make you want to squeam by just looking at it Oke/Ouk = Basically a guy China = a friend that is asian (thats a joke) its just what u call a friend for some reason but its not as popular anymore Izit = "is it" but with more oomf

Excellent video, love it!

Eish is "eh... whatever!" In Xhosa

Ja in South Africa is like Yeah in America I dont think it is slang at all. Your ASMR is very good

this was very entertaining to watch as a norwegian south african lol

Oke is apparently short for bloke which is british slang for dude/guy which is american slang (dude) for man. XD slangception.

We also say shame like “aw shame man that baby is so cute”

awe.

Being South African: I can relate and hear Rosy using "Gatvol" in a sentence.

I live I south africa port elizabeth

Isn't the rock band seether from South Africa?

My parents say "a shame" and "jislaak" alot lol like alot alot. I was born in Canada but my parents are south African and I've always been obsessed with south Africa even tho i live in canada lol.

In south west England we say 'a shame' in the same content as shame

and also boeta

This is not slang, its just dutch lmaooo.. no jkjk😂

I always spell ag with an h (agh) lol

I had to laugh when you wrote down eish One of my South African friends recently explained that to me 😂

I appreciate you teach us South African slang but to be honest I won’t remember it. I have trouble keeping up with US slang.

Love the fact my surname is Afrikaans slang for gossip - I'm soooo not one 😅😅

Most useful SA slang is the word ‘mos’

or sies

Do you live in SA, my dads from Cape Town

🇿🇦

This is so interesting! America is so lame. (Just kidding, I love where I live but you guys are so much more interesting.)
