    It's hard to teach other people to do the click because we don't teach the children how to click. They learn by themselves. So u guys have to live with us to get them right.

    The Nguni peopleof South Africa are the Zulus,Xhosas,Ndebeles and Swati- we all speak similar languages but interestinglythey're also different.IsiXhosa is intensively clicky that even I as a Zulu person struggle to pronounce the word let alone speak the language.IsiZulu is moderate while isiSwati is very soft on the clicks it almost sounds like a Zulu baby learning to speak isiZulu 🤣.IsiNdebele is sructured differentlyand it'shard to speak even though one would understand some of the words to then figure out what is being said.Kerp learning fam 👌🏾🇿🇦.

    Those were just the foundational clicks.😂 We also have deeper ones, which are a combination of letters, like, GC, GX, NX, NC (also including HL even though it’s not a click but close). These are a bit harder to master.

  • @ayandamjiwu8339
    @ayandamjiwu8339 Год назад +10

    For xhosa those are the easy one it goes harder the more you learn. Qi is easy than Nkq, Ci is easy than Gca. So in order for u to graduate to Nkqa, Ngca, Kre, Ngxu you will need to first pass the Ci, Ka, Xa, Rh. Even in primary school grade 1 they start with the ones you currently learning then the teacher graduates the kids to much harder clicks. It is like maths the start with easy then it goes hard the more you know❤❤❤❤ I takes time. The are Xhosa people who can not even pronounce some of the words

    We firstly have BANTU ETHNIC GROUP, which is the biggest group in africa!! The countries in Africa where the equator passes through and all the countries south of the Equator are from the same lineage. We are children of NTU, That's what BANTU translates to. Then you have the BANTU people in the far south called NGUNI, who adopted the clicking sound in they language from the khoi and San people! I can go to Malawi or Uganda and find some of the words we use are the same🤷 it's one big family 🤣😂

    You guys are getting there. First the CT slang, and now this. Getting your dose of SA culture. I was ROTF when Dion asked if you can click too hard or soft. I think the louder you click, just puts emphasis on the word. Like when you're excited, or upset, the click will come out violently 🤣🤣🤣. And the P, Dion is doing it right. Sorry CiCi

    In the other "clicks" video you reacted too, Cierra kept saying that they used to make the "Q" sounds at school but she didn't know what sound it was..... And that's how you say the "Q" sound.
    The guy in this vid was not using the word that shocked everyone maliciously, in proper IsiZulu it means smoking pipe that old men use to smoke tobacco, and through time has been adopted to mean something else.
