Loved this video. I'm also a Tamil Indian from Durban (living in London). Makes me miss home. Love your parents and the relationship you have with them.
It's not just Durban. Charous and Bruinous all across KZN have the same/similar accent. It's only different in the different provinces. I was always fascinated how we sound the same even tho KZN is so big.
I have been living in the USA for 30 years ,longer than I was n Durban . I still say rombo karo.i love the Durban language .i miss it .bring one tumbler mindrel.
So I'm Afrikaans, and repeating words to emphasise something is also common. But not everyone will do it, actually it's sometimes annoying to some. But very funny video, love how you embrace culture. It's what make us unique and keep the world interesting! I've been working with A LOT of Indians from India, and I had to get accustomed to their accents, but after hearing you mention making shorter words from long sentences, that is so true! We've also had a lot of laughs about how they pronounce some words or names, but we also had to learn a lot of strange Indian names.
We just recently immigrated from South Africa, KZN to Malawi. I'm missing the Indian accent😄 the Indians here have Indian Indian accents, not south African Indian.😂
*Revisiting this video after years to see and enjoy **4:10** one more time. "Where are you going? Town?"* *We hosted an Indian Au Pair from South Africa. And we absolutely ADORE AND LOVE HER. This is how she used to speak.* *She has long completed her year with us here in United States and has moved on but we are still in contact with her. Great girl !!*
First off, you are so very beautiful, as is your accent. I’ve always appreciated the South African accent. Very distinct and interesting in my opinion. And to add an Indian accent on top of that is even more interesting and so very unique. Great video(: Cheers from the states!!! (Washington State to be exact)
I grew up in a Tamil village and eeasal is a word we used and not that many people outside of villages knew this word. It just means most Indians that moved to South Africa were from rural and villages.
@@SandhiraChetty I grew up close to a city called Madurai in Tamil Nadu. It’s south of Tamil Nadu. If you were to look up its kunnathur. In Madurai district. And these flies usually come out of the ground after rain season. And we only see them in the field so most people in towns and cities don’t even know of these or never would have seen them. Another gross info but cultures are weird. People do catch these eesals as they come out of the ground and fry and eat them. It’s not an Indian thing. But a very rural thing. Listening to your videos I see glimpse of how I grew up but you guys preserved it in your language so beautifully lol.
Your father has a very clear accent and dont worry about the deslikes. whats important is that you people are a happy family !! may God protect and keep you and your family safe and healthy !!!
Everything makes sense now...I had grandparents of which my grandma was indian and my grandfather was white and now I'm a Cape Town Coloured LOL !!! I just realised that I have inherited the convincing, passionate manner of my indian grandma and the Ego of my grandfather. Things I really need to work on LOL,btw you so funny and I definitely started feeling like a coconut !!! Keep bringing this change & doing your hilarious videos.
BAHAHAHAHA what a funny video! My fam moved to Australia 16 years ago,ex Durbanite. My Australian friends would never get it when I would say "just now" 😂 ( I would have to explain not now but now now, just now 😂). Great vid your parents are adorable. Thank you for making me laugh and sharing. ❤️🙏
This was hilarious but indians from Gauteng donot speak like this, especially Pretoria indians , i lived in pretoria and the indian accent is not even there because most indians come from marabastad and their first language was actually Afrikaans during apartheid and many households still speak Afrikaans. So i would say out of all the indian places i have lived in Pretoria indians have a "posh accent" The only thing all South African indians share is their love for out doing each other and having lavish weddings.
தமிழ் நாட்டில் இருந்து வாழ்த்துக்கள் சகோதரி ! Greetings from Tamilnadu ! Karam = spicy , Thatha = Grandpa Iyya = elder wise man . We love to see you Tamil people !
Really enjoyed this! It's just unique how you have your mom and dad in the video making us laugh too. By the way I am a Swazi living in England. My brother used to live in Sydenham, Durban as a lodger at an Indian lady's house and he always used to tell me hilarious stories about her🤣
TAMIZL IS THE OLDEST LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD , and specifically there is no country called India its only a union of countries. million of tamils were killed in genocide in sri Lanka language is an emotional issue for Tamizls so be careful
I absolutely agree that we need another instalment of this video. Hilarious! Some of it over my head, but some of it even Afrikaans people do. Like giving people nicknames. A couple was staying in the flats and saw another neighbouring couple often braaing so they starting calling them "the braaiers". So, a few days later this couple (the braaiers) came knocking on their door. The husband openend the door and invited them in and called to his wife, "Honey, the braaiers are here." How embarassing - the "braaiers" looked at each other like "is he talking about us?" Hilarious!! But that is definitely something Afrikaans people also do - but we try not to let the people know that you've nicknamed them. It sort of "stays inside the walls". Your father has such good humour - you should just get him talking more often; he will have us in stitches!! Love your hair done up today Sandhira - love it. About a follow-up of this - so, it probably shows my ignorance, but what other accents are there then? How many kinds of Indians in South Africa? Oh, the second thing we also do is to call our spouses mommy/daddy, but that really starts when the kids are born and when I call my husband by his name, my kids started calling him Craig as well. So, no, that won't do. So it started out as a way of teaching the kids that that is what THEY must call him.. You are right Sandhira, I don't hear it that often anymore, the older people used to do it all the time and I hated hearing it. Could not understand why they would do it if there wasn't a child in sight - for goodness sake. But in my generation, it started as I stated above, but only until the kids were old enough to know that THEY should call him Pappa. Thereafter it's back first names even in front of the kids. So...i guess it serves a purpose. It's only a bit weird if it is used and there is not purpose (like when there is no child in sight LOL!! For goodness sake) What a great video. Thanks!!
Ursula Wood I'm always worried when I make videos like these, people who aren't Indian won't understand, but I'm glad you took away something at least! Good to know we share something with Afrikaans people haha!
I think in this beautiful rainbow nation we live in, we actually have so much more in common with fellow south africans than we realise. I love the fact that we are so diverse. Not boring at all. I attended a course to learn to speak isiXhosa, and it was amazing how much of the thinking/culture is the same as my grand parents were. Love your videos and can't wait for the next one. Can't wait to see what the "investigative journalist" in you will reveal next! LOL!
@@ursulawood3177 Sorry for the very late reply. I've only just come across this hilarious video now. To answer your question Ursula, in South Africa amongst the Indian population, there are 4 "Hindu" linguistic groups: Tamil, Telegu (originally hailing from Southern India)+ Hindi and Gujarati(hailing from Northern India). Then there is also the Indian Muslim community who also have their own linguistic divides. I can only speak to the Hindus in South Africa.
love this... Im from dbn, but left years ago. I didn't realise just how much of my language was influenced by my Indian friends and coworkers until I got here to the eastern cape and people started looking at me funny...
This is just too funny. And your dad cracked it up with the fire cracker joke - what cool parents you have. Some words I can remember are: bioscope (cinema) mineral (cool drink) cheecha (mutton) boowa (food)
That was great, thanks Sandhira. I've lived in Durban, Pietermaritzburg and now Hilton all my life. There really is no one to compare with Indians. I love you all. By the way, there's nothing wrong with being a coconut. We're all pretty deurmekaar in South Africa anyway. It would be amazing if we didn't all borrow from each others' cultures.
@@SandhiraChetty Been living in Cape Town for sometime now, but yes a big shout out to Durbs! You made me homesick! I shall now refer to flying ants as eesals from now on. :) Your mom and you are hilarious. Love those laughs. I must check out your other vids.
Word "caro" is I think from Tamil word "karam (காரம்)" which means hot and spicy. Like you said "eesal (ஈசல்)" is a Tamil word, flying type of termite/ant, we Tamilians use very commonly. Nice video. Likewise you will be using many words from Indian languages. You should really compile a dictionary of all the words you are using from Indian languages.
Tazz Bakir. No we don't! Pretoria and JHB Indians do NOT speak this way. It's a generalization to assume that this is the case. I do agree that this is spot on for KZN. AKS instead of ASK!!! Lovely family.
Tazz Bakir this is just a fabrication only earlier generation with little or no education used to speak similar to this. todays kids and grow n ups speak proper ENGLISH.
Hi Sandhira. Beautiful really CLASSIC! Lol. Im from JHB Shaakira is the name. Love ur videos. Im muslim Indian and we also use many of these words. LMBO! Also my mum use to say FATA FIT! Meaning fast fast. We also use the word Eesal thought it was a real word DAMN! Wow. U r so entertaining n educational.
I have to say, my kellick in the SA Navy spoke like this AND HE WAS FROM CAPE TOWN AND ALL! My all time fav phrase from South African Indian lingo is 'dis ting'... I once had a guy ask me (as fast as I've ever heard someone speak) "Ey man, why dis ting is dis tinging?"
Hi Guys! Im from Jhb parents and hubby from Durbs. Gotta say honey you are so on POINT! Had a great laugh needed this. Lmaof! Keep it going from JOZI with LOVE... :)
Vanakam my dear south african tamil sister, i am tamil born and raised in france and i am glad that tamil in south africa are doing well and i sincerely hope that the current generation of tamil in south africa will safeguard and give importance To our tamil language , culture and history ....anyway good and interesting video and spicy in tamil is "karum" , not "caro"
G'day Sam and Aunty and Uncle. Thanks for your videos. I'm an Australian man married to an Indian Durban lady. Love of my life. I understand her better now and I can say stuff to her to remind her of home. Makes me more endearing to her. The other day I said oyyyyeee, look at that kangaroo-- jump jump jump.... Thanks for everything.
I’m a black South African and I think your accents are amazing. If you don’t mind me asking, are you an Indian from the KZN area? Because the Indians here in JHB sound different in terms of what words you say at the first and how you pronounce your words
I'm from India living in Mauritius 🇲🇺, in Mauritius many from Indian roots people tamil is language, food is good and hospitality is high in tamil community. From India to other countries people preserve the culture. Comedy is one line , if person is not alert he'll miss the joke .
I think I remember a book, movie or something where elderly people in rural USA call their spouses "maw" or "paw". Can someone confirm if this is the case?
You Rock girl!. Love all your videos... this is so real lol.. I can relate well being just a SA indian.. Plzz continue with your videos. Well worth watching!
It’s mostly southern Indians actually who came from the rural KZN . I’ve spent time around Gujarati and Hindi indians and their parents DONT speak like that whereas I’m Tamil and my parents and their parents (who came from kzn and rural) Spoke like that.... it’s like kitchen english or Pidgin in Jamaica 😂. Aka broken English. The history is that our ancestors came as indentured laborers and very few were literate. English was mostly spoken vs read or written.
Omw just came across your video now ! Loved it so much ! I'm born in Durban currently residing in MAURITIUS 🇲🇺 though! Your parents oh man they are so cute! Loved when your dad called you Kutty girl ! My Thatha called me this, made me miss him so much! I'm about to watch the rest of your content! You're amazing!♥️🌸🌺
All that's missing from making that couch classic Durban Indian is that plastic covering. My granny still has it on her sofa. Get so stuck to that thing on hot days.
I have only just recently discovered your videos. You are so talented...what a ripper. I had no idea that easel was an Indian word. I honestly thought it was English. God knows how many times I must have embarassed myself. 😂
Hey, if an Indian moves to South Africa like Joburg, what dialect am I supposed to learn? Will my English with Indian accent be accepted by people living there or will I be boycotted straight away?
Hi. Im Muslim Indian. Some of our elders call their wives and husbands "mummy" and "daddy" too. 😅. Not only tamil indians. Actually.. my 70yr old aunt calls her husband "nana".
Love. Guyanese Indian here. Similar situation. My wife only calls me by name when she is upset. Otherwise she says “Ayee” the way only an Indian can. 👌🏼🇬🇾
Love it , my Mom best friend she was Indian from Shallcross , she taught me how to cook best indian food , & you forgot most indian obviously from Kzn they always put " right at end of sentence
Literally the best possible RUclips suggestion in a long time! I cracked myself laughing at each point because this is just so original compared to whatever else is out there🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for your content! I’ll definitely be sharing it! Keep it up!
Hi Chandra - Vanakkam from a friend from Chennai. Thank you so much for making this video. Only now we Came to know about the large Tamil diaspora in South Africa after accidentally chancing on this video. How long did the tamil immigrate there? Do you guys still understand and speak Tamil? Are there schools that speak Tamil? Do we have temples there ? Do you celebrate and enjoy all the Tamil festivals ? Also I noticed a strange spelling for your name. We would use this spelling Chandra as opposed to Sandhira. I particularly liked the portion where you cited the husband is called daddy. Thats because of the inherant tamil culture of calling the husband with respect (which is absent in English) .Also you are probably using karo because karam in tamil means spicy. Thanks so much again. Good luck. When you can try to do your little part to protect and preserve our Tamil as much as you can
Loved this video. I'm also a Tamil Indian from Durban (living in London). Makes me miss home. Love your parents and the relationship you have with them.
so nice video man
64% of the S.A Indian population are from a Tamil background anyway! So you go for it sister!
Where did you get that statistic from? It’s so Indian to just make up numbers.
Exactly proud to be Indian Tamil. Aya, ava, thatha. Not so bad indeed. Good for laughs sakes
Agreed
Is Hindu a difficult language to learn?
Most Indians from Malaysia is of the same background, but they speak English with a Hokkien Chinese accent though lol
Lol I love this video. I'm Zulu and you have a new subbie!💃🏿💃🏿The accuracy in this video😂🤣👌🏿
It's not just Durban. Charous and Bruinous all across KZN have the same/similar accent. It's only different in the different provinces. I was always fascinated how we sound the same even tho KZN is so big.

South African Indians don't really shake their heads haha
Makes me nostalgic for my time in UDW. My favourite ubiquitous description term “dis ting”

I so love these videos, even though I am not Indian. But proudly South African, and proudly love people and cultures :)

I have to say, my kellick in the SA Navy spoke like this AND HE WAS FROM CAPE TOWN AND ALL! My all time fav phrase from South African Indian lingo is 'dis ting'... I once had a guy ask me (as fast as I've ever heard someone speak) "Ey man, why dis ting is dis tinging?"
One more charou phrase..... "why you twisting your face?"
Ey one eesil cameway in my room

I think I remember a book, movie or something where elderly people in rural USA call their spouses "maw" or "paw". Can someone confirm if this is the case?
You Rock girl!. Love all your videos... this is so real lol.. I can relate well being just a SA indian.. Plzz continue with your videos. Well worth watching!
Aunty people in Pretoria don't put "but" at the end of the sentence. BUT there is a Samosa Aunty or Flowers Reggie everywhere.
It’s mostly southern Indians actually who came from the rural KZN . I’ve spent time around Gujarati and Hindi indians and their parents DONT speak like that whereas I’m Tamil and my parents and their parents (who came from kzn and rural) Spoke like that.... it’s like kitchen english or Pidgin in Jamaica 😂. Aka broken English.
The history is that our ancestors came as indentured laborers and very few were literate. English was mostly spoken vs read or written.
Omw just came across your video now ! Loved it so much ! I'm born in Durban currently residing in MAURITIUS 🇲🇺 though! Your parents oh man they are so cute! Loved when your dad called you Kutty girl ! My Thatha called me this, made me miss him so much! I'm about to watch the rest of your content! You're amazing!♥️🌸🌺

All that's missing from making that couch classic Durban Indian is that plastic covering. My granny still has it on her sofa. Get so stuck to that thing on hot days.
I have only just recently discovered your videos. You are so talented...what a ripper. I had no idea that easel was an Indian word. I honestly thought it was English. God knows how many times I must have embarassed myself. 😂
This makes me miss my hometown Durban. Great video.Love from Capetown.
I really had a laugh at this video LOL!! Need to find a coloured Durban accent video now. Lol
Enjoyed this video !! Love how you just rise above negativity with a great attitude!!
Hey, if an Indian moves to South Africa like Joburg, what dialect am I supposed to learn? Will my English with Indian accent be accepted by people living there or will I be boycotted straight away?
Hi. Im Muslim Indian. Some of our elders call their wives and husbands "mummy" and "daddy" too. 😅. Not only tamil indians. Actually.. my 70yr old aunt calls her husband "nana".
Love. Guyanese Indian here. Similar situation. My wife only calls me by name when she is upset. Otherwise she says “Ayee” the way only an Indian can. 👌🏼🇬🇾
Just stumbled on this from my feed and what a joy. I'm from S.A too. You're awesome and you have a beautiful family.
I'm from cape town...... So liking this....you guys so FUNNY.
When uncle said " Hey", I was in stitches.

0:23 uncle wondering whom to support in the cricket world cup.
Hi Chandra -
Vanakkam from a friend from Chennai.
Thank you so much for making this video. Only now we Came to know about the large Tamil diaspora in South Africa after accidentally chancing on this video. How long did the tamil immigrate there? Do you guys still understand and speak Tamil? Are there schools that speak Tamil? Do we have temples there ? Do you celebrate and enjoy all the Tamil festivals ?
Also I noticed a strange spelling for your name. We would use this spelling Chandra as opposed to Sandhira. I particularly liked the portion where you cited the husband is called daddy. Thats because of the inherant tamil culture of calling the husband with respect (which is absent in English) .Also you are probably using karo because karam in tamil means spicy.
Thanks so much again. Good luck. When you can try to do your little part to protect and preserve our Tamil as much as you can
As a SA exile , I need more of this..
Never forget "don't fright"
Strongs :)
"don't fright the dog won't bite man"
