    Brother, God bless you richly for this incredible service. I have lost everything, my original name was changed, I lost my language, etc but not my blood. I am so glad that today every sister and brother is identified as 'Rwandan'. Today was the first day I took courage to start learning my mother's language-Kinyarwanda. I visited my country, Rwanda this December 2019 after 20 years, I could not hold tears of joy, one Immigration Officer at Kigali International Airport held my Foreign Passport and found a different Citizenship in it and he quickly greeted me 'Muraho' I was lost. He went into saying 'Uvuyehe'? I just said Brisbane. The Officer knew that I was one of them though I could not speak the language. I have decided to learn my language and I believe one day I will be able to speak. Luckly my mother and my father speaks Kinyarwanda. Please prepare more lessons for learners like me . Murakoze.

      ooh that is a very heartwarming story. Your rwandan identity is your and will always be. Take advantage of your father and mother kinyarwanda, ask them a lot. It is not easy to hear, but it is 1000% worth it.
      Once my gym business takes off, I will focus on the language course again!

    I had two patients today who only spoke Kinyarwanda. I was definitely taken aback by this and felt scared that they were not being adequately cared for. I totally appreciate your teachings on the culture. Very helpful lesson!

  • @steorbord
    @steorbord 2 года назад +6

    This is brilliant, thank you for these videos. I'm currently looking into Rwandan literature, and whilst the particular texts I'm reading are in French, the author references Kinyarwanda phrases enough to make me want to learn at least some of this beautiful language as well.

    "Yesu akuzwe" must be said "Yes'akuzwe" without pronouncing the letter "u".
    There is another greeting in kinyarwanda: "amashyo" and you respond "amashyongore." This one is mostly used by the old people and means to wish you a lot of cows(riches).

    • @theoisback
      @theoisback  7 лет назад +6

      Yes, thats true. And thank you, I totally forgot about amashyo

      I think for foxes who are starting learning it's quite hard. our language is hard, so better go slow with 2 greetings for example and later you can learn others.

    My dad was from Rwanda and married my mum from Eastern Uganda. We never got to learn this language and we would be looked down on coz we don't look like real Rwandese. So I wasn't into it until when my uncle is insisting for us to learn our culture and language. So thank you.

    @kevinjohnson386 Год назад

    When it comes to greetings it doesn't matter who you are what country you come from would it be black or white the only thing that matters is you're older in my case 60 years old older so when I go to the Philippines or someplace in Southeast Asia Thailand etc the younger people grab my hand and pull it to their heads and they bow at the same time in doing this is sign of respect for older people and if I encounter somebody older than myself I will do the same for them but apparently enroll Wanda you don't have that custom where you take the older person's hand put it to your forehead and bow

    Rwandans just moved into my neighborhood. The mother, or grandmother, walks the block, and does not speak English. I gave her a card and asked how to say a few greetings in her language. I did not know her nationality, and I was thrilled when she brought the card back to me with the answers. She is an older woman, older than me, I am 77. Is it respectful or acceptable to refer to her as "mama" when I respond to her? Thank you so much for offering this video. I enjoy trying to speak with others in their language.

    How hard would it be to move to Rwanda, only speaking English. could you survive and start a business?
