Cape Verdean Creole vs. Papiamento
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2019
- This video is focused strictly on the very possible connection between Papiamento and Cape Verdean Creole, not Guinea Bissau Creole, or theories of Papiamento’s creation on whether its Spanish or Portuguese or the specifics of Papiamento words, just the things in common between Papiamento and CVC. The Cabo Verde islands and the ABC Islands (where Aruba is) are almost 5 thousand kilometers away, but yet they still bear a noticeable resemblance to each other. Learn about what bounds them together in this video. We discuss grammar, vocabulary, and more that are shared by the two languages and the story of how this even happened.

Regarding “DOSHI” and “DUSHI”, this video is ONLY talking about the “sweet, delicious” meaning. Even though the vowel /u/ and /o/ are different please remember that languages evolve and because Cape Verdeans’ “doxi” (meaning “sweet”) is “dushi” now in Papiamento, that the vowels changed but the meaning is nearly the same. I was simply pointing out the etymology of this single lexeme”du/oshi”, not talking about evolved meanings of related words like the pejorative “doshi”. Words do not have be exactly the same to qualify as relatives. What can you expect after 400 years of language evolution??
I learned Papiamento that I used in Aruba, from this course:

A BIG THANKS to Zenilda Cruz. Most of the CVC information on general CVC use is from my friend and fellow native speaker, Zenilda Cruz. If you’re interested in learning Cape Verdean Creole, need a translation, interpretation of CVC or Portuguese classes, reach out to her at zenildacruz.info
We are family 🇨🇻♥️🇨🇼 Basically
When i was studying in Rotterdam, the first day of college some CV students approached me and started talking Capverdian to me. I was surprised because i didnt know them but I was amazed that I kinda understood what they were saying. Afterwards I told them I'm form The Caribbean from Curaçao to be exactly, but this language sounds a lot like my own language Papiamentu. It was hilaroius countries so far away from each other but yet so similar in the language. Great video!😉
Papiamento and Cape Verdean Creole are sons of Portuguese in all origins 👏🇺🇳✈️✈️💎💎♾️💙🆒🥂 same family both are in the portuguese subfamily.
Am cape verdian and I have friend from curaçao 🇨🇼 and we understand each other very well
the portuguese colonists had to send during the middle ages thousands of Cape Verdean slaves from cidade velha in Santiago to the caribbean and ended up on the island of curacao
Capeverdean people were sent to aruba that’s where criolu mixed with the Spanish language and formed Papiamento
Cape verde slaves was taken to ABC Island that's why theres similar languages
I'm from Aruba and i met a guy working in restaurant and I was shocked to how much similar the language was truly shocked . We need better information in the abc island
I am from Curaçao 🇨🇼 and I speak Papiamentu! Great video👌🏽
You forgot our middle sibling. Guinea-Bissau Creole.
I speak Papiamento and I’m learning how to speak Kabuverdianu/Kriolu. Indeed, we are family.
I'm from Curacao and remember having a conversation with a Cape Verdian man. Each of us talking in our own mother tongues.
This is a great video, i am from Aruba & Papiamento needs to be known♥️
