• The WHISPER CHALLENGE ...
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
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.
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😂🤣👌🏿
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.
Reid Naidoo tumbler mindrel 😂😂😂
Good one bro.
Hi Iam from Tamilnadu Rombo Karam is Very spicy we use the same term
Tumbler mindral😂😂😂😂
My grandma owns a shop so we call her “shop ma” 😂
jeez if you trip and fall in school you get a weird name forever im sure.
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.
Our local door to door underwear salesman is known as "panty john" 😂
Hahahaha I’m dead 😂
😂😂😂😂
um because he sells panties?
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)
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. ❤️🙏
+ArleneJDavid ah just now - my favourite South Africanism :)
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.😂
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.
That’s so interesting! May I know the name of your village? And what do other people outside those villages call that insect?
@@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.
The best is ...when they phone ur house phone n say.....howsit how you?you at home? 😂😂😂😂😂
Keshmika Ramgobind 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👏
😂😂👏
Keshmika R we say bye like 5 times at the end of a call
@@khgnnnn lmao... Right er right bye... Righttttt bye, right er see u 😆😆😆
The word "lahnee" has been accepted by all races living in SA. I love this kind of thing!
Softbyte Computers and balie and poes
I just looove South African English.
I now love the southern hemisphere Durban Tamil South African English
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🤣
please share lol
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.
Sound just like Indian from Guyana 🇬🇾 we use all these words
That uncles face though 😂😂😂 too cute parents.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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 !!!
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.
Calling husband -Daddy and mother -mummy by partners is true for us( living in mainland India) as well
So nice your parents are
I was born and raised in Pietermaritzburg and I now stay in New Zealand this made me miss home so much 😂😂❤️❤️
Came here after watching Kandasamys Wedding on Netflix. Always been fascinated by the SA accent and Indians particular!
Me too😅
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.
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
“You going to town BUT” 😂😂😂
My friend told me " heavy swark this ooh tuning"🤣🤣
Proudly Xhosa....I love this video and staying 😂🤣😂
As a white South African I realize how little I know about my Indian brothers and sisters. I love the accent and food.
for the 567 of you that disliked this video, you're a treasure... and treasure should be buried
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 kudos to you Mama we definitely share alot
Afrikaners owe a video explaining why they name their kids spyker or draadkar or some random Afrikaans word.
@@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.
I have this friend who is a Muslim idian and I was Muslim . People we know says that we have a African idian tone when we speak.
As a SA exile , I need more of this..
Never forget "don't fright"
Strongs :)
"don't fright the dog won't bite man"
தமிழ் நாட்டில் இருந்து வாழ்த்துக்கள் சகோதரி ! Greetings from Tamilnadu !
Karam = spicy ,
Thatha = Grandpa
Iyya = elder wise man .
We love to see you Tamil people !
tamil nadu is ❤️❤️ . love back from Haryana brother
Durban "coloured " here...always thought eesal was a real word. I still use it.
I say "hot" , my daughter says "spicy", not only Tamils live in Durban, your intro was correct. Take your H from "illary" and add it to "Hum blio",
Most of the South African Indians, they don't say bring and share. They say bring and come.
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.
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... :)
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)
Did you buy the couch from Russells?
Must be Joshua Door.
😂😂😂😂😂
Thawa thumbee came way
Morkels
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...
I so love these videos, even though I am not Indian. But proudly South African, and proudly love people and cultures :)
love from india
In Indian schools we have Zulu mam and mam preschool and Anitta Mam (her name was Anitta and she was the school clerk)
I love south African Indian girls...I wish I've dated one
That clapping while talking, to emphasize a point is so typical of South African Indians :)
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.
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?
I think we need to move away from categorizing ourselves as North or South Indians or Muslim or Gujarati. It's a form of cultural exclusivity that we must not promote as it comes from the past. When some Indians move to Jhb or into fancy estates, they become coconuts!!! I always laugh when Indians twang socially - Come on guys- You're not in a job interview! We don't get impressed hahaha. Our cultural values are the same. Be proud of who you are.
Except that there are natural regional accents. No one from Lenz or Pretoria speaks like this.
Adorable! "sethefrican" english offshoot. You forgot the most idiosyncratic shake of the head from side to side there?
South African Indians don't really shake their heads haha
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
yip, South Coast of KZN :) And yes, I have cousins in Laudium and they sound like they're from a different country to me :'D
Im from durban too heheh living in korea for now going on 6 years hehe your videos are so funny and enjoyable!
How can ppl be against you, when there is another person doing the same... 😂. “Where the tumbler?🤣put water in the tumbler”
Tops hun👌👌👌💙 Really funbn exciting to watch
...awww n Dad n Mum ever so supportive...Rooting for ur further success hun🍾🍷🍸🍹👌
Love from India ❤️ don't know such a great diaspora of indian's in South Africa .
It has 3% indian population.
www.mea.gov.in/population-of-overseas-indians.htm
Atleast I have stats for indian people
@@MrALenCar321not really who said 3%😂
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?"
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!♥️🌸🌺
Easel is not English 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ my whole life is questioning 💁🏾♂️😂😂😂
Girl! You and your “purrents” killed this 👍🏻
I guess the South African Indians living in cape or JHB have included bit of Afrikaans in their daily spoken language, so they have their own quirky accent! Regardless I love it! thanks you’ve had me in fits of laughter!🌹👍🏽
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.
Haven't had such a good laugh in a long time. You rock, your videos rock but your parents are just too COOL!
Thank you!!
I miss Durban, I'm living in Port Elizabeth now, when I go back to Durban they say I sound like I am from Cape Town.
I thought the initial comments that you mentioned in the opening of this video were a bit harsh ... However after watching this I think it is important to say Durban Indians 😂🙈
Love the confidence though ... definitely subscribing
Welcome to my channel!
Awesome looking forward to some great content
One more charou phrase..... "why you twisting your face?"
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. 😂
We need a 3rd instalment of this video, Highly entertaining and I can relate to alot anol hey...
Girl you killed this with your “purrents” lol😂
Love the video, love the South African culture, mixed culture and accent
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
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.
We don't get offended just amused as always by you lot.
Just wanted to remind you which side of the track you are from
Majority of Indians in south Africa, speak like this, so you are right. You got me googling the word eesal.
+Rahul Golbahram Happy googling! 😂
Are most SA Indians Tamil? Or South Indian?
@@LB_die_Kaapie lol those are technically the same.
@@rahulgolbahram4658 I know I mean are any Indians in SA from other parts of india?
@@LB_die_Kaapie LOL yes they're from everywhere.
There's a "foul aunty" that lives down the road from my grandma's house in Durban
😂
Same
Does the FOUL aunty sell FOWLS ?
LOL
I am from cape town and dated a Tamil indian girl...I started speaking like her and she like me...was the funniest ever.
I am an North Indian and it was so relatable and yes 5:45 they still call there husbands daddy well my mom also do so😅😅😂
From were you are.bcoz we Also from Gujrat
North India means up Delhi HP UK or j nd k
Makes me nostalgic for my time in UDW. My favourite ubiquitous description term “dis ting”
Tanya
Brilliant video, I love the topic and especially how you and your purrents present it. So funny but. 💕🙏 nandri, Vanakkum
This is true. I lived in Durban half my life, and I love it.
Al ma, Your so funny, but. I'm a muslim Indian from Overport and we too talk like that. We were a culture shock for my sister'nlaw from Joburg -we often have fun arguments about the right way to pronounce words! Loved it. Now I gotta go find your other videos and also show the purrents!
When uncle said " Hey", I was in stitches.
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
I enjoyed growing up among the Indian community. We felt safe and had many playmates. Not to mention the curries (yum)
Ah. Now I understand what the guy at the bunny chow shop means when he greets me with "Hello Uncle, when you gonna try a real caro one 'n all?"
Very heartwarming vid.
Like in a Storm lol'z love from Dareshni Chetty in Auckland, New Zealand
This channel has now made my life... And ALL Indians speak like this!!!!
aww thank you!
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.
Lol.. It's also very typically south African Indian to nit pick on little irrelevant things!! Lmfao! ✌
I loved the video. Tell mom and dad they made me laugh. So I moved to Cape Town and I'm the only Indian person there. There's things we say that people find weird like vegabond, apparently that's a high english word. And we say dress our bed not make our bed. Weird hey, it's caused me to question how different we are.
those 80 of you who disliked are adopted 😂😂😂
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"
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!
Thank you so much!!
I enjoyed this video a lot. But not only the content is interesting and informative, but how close you are your parents are to each other. Feels like your parents are more like your friends than your parents. I really wish I could have parents like yours to be so down to earth when they are with you. My presents are very conservative and they tend to preserve their roles as parents when with children. So it’s really hard for me to have fun with them like you do.
Anyways big thumb up to your video.
Gees, I agree with your accent and “grammar” for SA Tamils ( few generations in that is). I don’t get how a group of people could consistently botch the only language they speak anymore ( because I’m quiet sure they would not know Tamil if it smacked you in the face).
419 dislikes from the coconuts of the Indian community 🤣
Oh I love this. It's brilliant! I'm from Durban and you nailed it. Had me crying. Your mom and dad are so cool too! Keep up the great videos please!
Shout out to Durbs!
@@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.
Indian wives calling their husbands daddy. I spat my water out laughing
Your Dad's Face at the beginning after your comment about the 80 people who disliked the video... OMG LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣. Loved
I'm not tamil, but I do the same! Laughed so hard coz you were spot on! I don't say caro though, use the word spicy, BUT at home, I say thitha lol. Also, found out right now that easle is not an english word! Thanks for the awesome video! As for the ones that disagree, they're lying, half of them originated or parents originated from KZN, and no matter what accent is used at school/outside the home, when we all in the house with fam, true colors come out! Hell even I say words that I'd never thought I'd say, they slip out!
this video is so cute! i honesty never knew there were south African indians until I found my teacher is from south Africa! its really interesting and this video was very lighthearted and funny. your parents are adorable!
Aunty people in Pretoria don't put "but" at the end of the sentence. BUT there is a Samosa Aunty or Flowers Reggie everywhere.
Those of you who disliked the video
Ur adopted HOOOF also my Nani calls my nana dad also we say thitha for spicy dunno if I spelled it correct AND THE EASELS
