Thank you happy that you enjoyed the video
🤦
😊
How are you ? Are you well Where is the toilet ?
Thank you for the suggestions.
Please speak slower and leave up the spelling for longer please.
Hello you can slow the speed of the video if that helps. You can also pause and rewind.
Fa’a molemole
Fa’afetai
Yes 🎉🎉🎉
20 years ago no one would have said that. That's the weirdest speach I've ever heard. I just don't get young ppl
This was great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Happy to help. Hopefully we can update them soon.
happy new year brother
Happy New Year to you too!
Si O'u Alofa :) Is that how I would write it or does it need to be all capitalized? Thank you for this video! You have a calm presence and voice that made me want to focus and felt good. I am a teacher and each week we learn a new way of saying hello to each other using different languages from around the world. Thank you for sharing yours!
Faafetai and thank you so much, we love hearing your feedback and that you are using our resources in your class. It doesn't need to be capitalised.
Its hard for us islanders nowadays, they are trying very hard to suppress our culture and oppress our people with modern tactics
It is difficult 😕
Your ancestors and traditions are a part of you. You cannot separate yourself from them so you treasure the good things and share them with others. Sharing is Caring as my once little grandson always said! ❤❤
It's good to be aware of your heritage.
Don’t forgot Jarai people in Central highland what they called Central highland Vietnam today we are Jarai Polynesian speaks austronesian language family Nima / 5 Kao / me Sky / rongit
Thank you for this
Samoans were healthy and fit back in my days. The problem is that a lot of the fast food chains from America started coming to American Samoa. A lot of people started gaining weight and being unhealthy in Samoa. You remember everyone was living off the land and the ocean. Men and women were always working and active in chores and in sports. We lost our way.
Even women worked outside. We really did lose our way.
💙🤙🏼
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Can’t wait to finally learn some Samoan cheeehoo
Cheehoo looking forward to hearing what you have learned.
Faamolemole means please 🙏🏾
Correct 👏🏾
You're right, westernization plays a big role in the obseity of many Polynesians. The food that was brought to Samoa are basically like drugs, high in corn syrup and very addicting. The best way to lose weight is too leave all carbs and refined sugar and stick to a high fat and high protein diet. Eating turkey tails and other fatty animal parts are actually quite healthy when you leave all the carbs and refined sugar outta your body.
100 percent facts Uso!
Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing.
I love it cuz I’m also Samoan😊❤
🌺🌺
23. Dollars. An. Hour. Great. Start. MOre. Money. More. TAX. Hahaha.
I don't understand
Measina I enjoyed your sharing of your feelings on the Tatau. I totally agree with you on all of your points. Especially with your history with early collinizers. I was born and raised in Hawaii and have a mixed culture with my Hawaiian side being the most I feel close to. My Hawaiian ancestors suffered just as yours did with the influences of the early Haole like Captain cook. Hawaiians were forbidden in speaking their own language as well and with the prevaling Desiese the collinizers the Hawaiian population was decimated. I clicked on your video because I wanted to hear your views. I am considering getting a few tattoos to honor my hawaiian heritage and am researching it now.
It’s amazing to hear that you are researching your heritage!
Hahaha, nice work Lucy! Great video to 🎉🎉 the work of the class. Awesome work Tutors. Can't wait to see future work!
Thank you! It was great to celebrate the year. 😊
Faamolemole means please
Correct
My son loves Logan classes! ❤️ he has learned so much within a short time. Definitely recommend enrolling your child or yourself as adults are welcome as well ❤
Awesome, I'm glad he's enjoying the classes! Looking forward to 2025.
Oh my, scrolling on YT and seen this!! Thats my nephew and my hubby and I brought him to this practice last Saturday when we were visiting Melbourne. My nephew only started a few months back and has learnt so much!! The tutor was so patient with him and the other young lady. Would definitely recommend anyone in the Melbourne region to join. Sooo good. Gutted that we've returned home and will miss out on their showcase next weekend!
It is great to hear you guys had such a good time. Come back and visit again.
Please
Correct
I'm from Brazil, and I truly appreciate Samoan culture and language! I was trying my best to understand some sentences, and I have to thank you. Onde day I'm going to visit Samoa :P
You are very welcome!
Because your fia palagi...you learn your culture from your aiga ❤from a young age ..dat come down to your parents 😂😂😂😂
You’re so funny
Because we are proud samoa..not fake samoa 😢😢😢
Thanks for your opinion
Malo lava! I was just admiring your video and your explanation/thoughts on tatau, which I find that you did amazing on. Adding on, I just had a question involving tatau, so my uncle is Samoan and he recently got his pe’a done by his tufuga (Peter su’a sulu’ape) but I’ve been accepted by the family as they taught me from a young age, the history and ways of samoa. I was asked by the family to get my tualima/malu, but I didn’t want to come across as disrespectful. I knew I could never get the malu, for I believe that it is sacred and should only be for Samoan females/chiefs daughters. I was wanting your opinion on me getting a tualima as a person who is not of Samoan descent, any help or opinion would be helpful fa’amolemole & fa’afetai lava
I would recommend asking your uncle about his opinion as well. As I mentioned in the video I don’t think non Samoan should use our motifs unless they have a strong connection. I also mentioned the peace corp would get an arm band as it was not traditionally Samoan. 685 is also Samoan and many have that tattoo.
@@MeasinaSamoa Fa'afetai lava, I appreciate you getting back to me and I love your videos and I can't wait to continue on watching your videos, as they educate me in some areas that I'm not familiar with.
Faamolemole tell me the answer??
The answer is in the video
@@MeasinaSamoa Lol i asked.... please tell me the answer. 😁
Fun. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fa detail lava
You're welcome
Fa afetai lava
Manuia mo Tagata uma
Please
Sa'o oe. You're correct.
“Viia le Atua” for you!
Thank you glad you enjoyed
This is the Truth . ❤ that alot of Our Older Generation are Safe keeping. There Needs to be a Change in Samoa.
Thank you!
The world no it doesn’t happen but they tried too
Ok that's interesting
WOW, what an awesome performance! It would have been incredible to be there live, especially to experience Australia’s First Siva Afi Competition! Unfortunate you got the rainy side of the Gold Coast but it looks like the competition made up for it. Amazing!!!
Even with the rain it was such an amazing experience to witness. The atmosphere was awesome too. Looking forward to next year.
Yummmmmm 🤤🤤
So yummy
apa masi
Masi
This is correct
I was told by a Samoan man, "Big Woman makes a good wife.. skinny woman won't." - 80s He was correct 100% If a man is a critic he is no man. The old "wanna beef braw."
Interesting train of thought
@@MeasinaSamoa men have those they play with and those they marry and are the mothers of their children.
I just stumbled upon this as I was searching why Jake Paul got a Samoan tattoo 😂 I'm here for this Sis 🌺
I hope you found the info you were looking for!
The culture samoa interesting
It is a beautiful culture.
