Things Louisiana Grandmas Say EXPLAINED! (Part 2) - Jak na to + styl
BORN AND RAISED CAJUN AND LOUISIANIAN. LOVE THIS
🤙
Same
Same
Same
grandma knows her stuff
As a frenchman I can say that « cher catin » does not means the same thing in metropolitan french 😂😂
Doesn’t it mean dearest wh*re?? 🤣
Je veux vivre dans un pays ou je peux appeler tout le monde cher catin et personne n est offensé lol
You made me cry i miss when i was little and my grama wolud call me that
i teared up listening to them!!!
Rougarou= loup-garou in French. Now I want to move to Louisiana, so I can speak French often.
As a french speaker from France, Canjun is actually different from French. It’s like US english ans UK english, the language developed differently, and now it has its own way of speaking and its own vocabulary. But yes, you’d still speak French often, and you’ll be able to understand the Canjun if you made a link between Rougarou and Loup-Garou. (And if I’m talking to a fellow french native, you already know all of that, so have a nice day my friend)
Unfortunately hardly anyone speaks French down here anymore, and if they do it’s likely the European French
Wait until you discover what « catin » means in French too 🥲
@@ImVez_ : for the curious, it’s a 304
Boudin here in Québec is a pigs blood sausage.
Same than in France generally although there is also le boudin blanc
@@chrispark4310yep, milk and bread for the white one. But the real one needs blood !! 😂
This vid is so heartwarming. I just love it. Listening to Hank Williams I do know some of these wonderful words and expressions. This is a great land with incredible heritage. 👋☺️🌞to all.
Bonjour de Nouvelle Orleans amis partout . Merci pour votre video
You both have the same beautiful smile!
Acadian French born in Aberdeen Scotland!
Born in Cali to Creole folks I can’t speak it but I knew all of these. ❤❤❤
I miss Louisiana I'm very Cajun born In baton Rouge it was fun and I still go to watch the tigers and visit my grandma Geaux tigers
Parlez-vous encore français🤔🤔
Oh, south Louisiana is great, but up here? Northeast Louisiana is a whole other world. I should not have come here and there is no escape. I wish I could move back down there.
That’s so interesting! I’m an Acadian from Canada and we also say some of these words.
The Cajuns from Louisiana are the same Acadian group from Canada.
Cajuns were Acadians expelled from there by the British Protestants who took over. Cajun is a hard mispronounciation of Acadian because of their thick accents. For your info, there are Cajuns who visit French families there as sort of reconnecting with their heritage.
I believe her she let the good times roll.....A lot! 😂😂😂 ❤ from New Iberia!
So interesting! Loup garou is werewolf here. Catin or poupee is a doll here. Catin is the acadian term for doll. Typically a derogatory term. Poupee is the correct french. Sooo cool after all this time, across the miles, we still speak the same language. Im in nova scotia. Bonjour to you from your very distant acadian family here in Nova Scotia!
Denise le même commentaire mais en français je sais que vous le pouvez.
Reminds me of my grandmother who passed when I was in high school. She used a lot of these and a few others. Thanks for sharing!
The bouidan part is facts but I love how she knows all this stuff that’s how you know you is wise and know more about living than half the people in this comment section
Honestly- I can’t live without boudin or crawfish
I live in Louisiana
This is so cool, Gri Gri means amulet in many west African countries
West Africa has a huge colonization history with France. I won't be suprised that the french "gris-gris" would be a adaptation of an african word in the first place
Love it!!! More please
Just couldnt stop thinking of Gambit😅😅
Same.
La’ pete masion
This makes me feel right at home ❤
Time to rewatch Big Easy. Again.
So sweet 💜
Boudin yes ma'am. ❤️
Aww elle très mignonne 🥰
Loup-garou. (loup=wolf ; lobo en espagnol) ❤❤❤ from France
Love this; I want more!!
The youngans face lights up when she smiles...
rougarou is now in french loupgarou
You got that backwards. Rougarou is an americanisation of loup garou.
Like cajun is an americanisation of acadien.
What a cute gramma ❤
GRIH-GRIH! 🫳
I love her. What a treasure.
For the curious a catin is a 304. They should have had some Cajun lightly playing in the background.
She looks just like her grandma
GAMBIT !! “Bonjour mon ami”
A lot! 😂
Belle famille 🎉🎉🎉 Merci bcp, bon ami
En France autrefois, j' ai rencontré M. et Mme. BOUDIN ! 🎉
That is just what people say in louisiana not just okd people lol
Momma said “ALOT”😂
Yeahhhhhhhh babyyyyyyyyy
Garou is also Japanese for wolf
I been to the Mamou Mardi Gras. My buddy's French speaking grandma fed us good. I even got to ride a horse for a bit before they made me get off.👍
I like her😅😅
Boudin is so good
Your Nana is absolutely beautiful bless her❤
Grandma look like she was a hottie in her time!
That is One Beautiful Cajun girl. Im Creole, lets get together and create some Jambalaya 🤎
swamp cat 😅
Isaiah 46:4 KJV
and even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Gambit do approve cher
❤❤❤❤❤
Yes ma’am
The only differences with french is catin and rougarou x)
My face when I looked up what catin means 😳
😊
Boudin is in fact blood not sausage.
jolie fes Francais!!!
C'est touchant, mais cela signifie-t-il que leur usage du français est désormais limité à quelques expressions, et non à des phrases entières?
Catin = doll..
But in French this means sth different… look it up in the dictionary or google it … you will be surprised 😅
where y'all at that this lady is cajun
wtf catin means whore in French x) if I ever meet someone from Louisiana I now know that I shouldn't be offended
there is a difference between louisiana creole, louisiana french & straight up european french. a french person will never fully understand the same dialect a creole person speaks & so on. it’s not the same😊
Its cajun french
Joking aside, I thought a 'hoe' was just a gardening implement...
@@LunaLeViege def not the same but still understandable kinda like Jamaican patois is to Americans and brits
@@LunaLeViegei would love to hear a whole conversation since everything she said was fully understandable to me haha. Just the catin thing made me cackle 😂😂 but calling your granddaughter a whore is family love alright 😂😂😂
its called not a rougarou but a loup-garou=were wolf, boudin in Europe and Québec is blood-pouding, Andouille is the pork saucisse even for cajuns...
Huh. I thought "gris-gris" was a black Louisiana thing, like voodoo.
Wnat's the history of the French influence here?
John 16:33 KJV
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
ever heard "bahh dahh"? i think it means clumsy/goofy
Or crazy
@@gracelynshamsie66 never heard that definition. Good to know 👍
I’m from Louisiana so I know a LOT of Cajun or French words!
@@gracelynshamsie66 my people are from opelousas, plaucheville, dupont. I just know words, can't speak it; wish i could
@@dkidder1367 oh😂
1 Peter 3:4
4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
what is a rowgarou its pronounced rUEgarUE its like a rue not pronounced like a ow also not tryna be mean just tryna help
They look like versions of the same person🤔.
Its not rou garou its loup garou. Loup means wolf in french
They are speaking an older dialect of Parisian before French became standardized
@@B3OWOLF416 yes i get it, its like super slang french lol
Rougarous are not scary according to my cousin but skin walkers are and those live in china and we live in Louisiana
Rougarous aren’t scary but they are real
Bonjour mon ami! Gris gris pa! Rougarou impuissant! Hon hon hon hon
Catin means bitch in normal French
There's no normal French.
We say ‘putain’- and we use it to mean all types😂 paid or unpaid or just manipulative; we had an old hardware store called ‘Catin’s’ down the road from where I lived. I guess they were selling different types of screws. It’s possible Mawmaw didn’t want to tell her granddaughter the truth
Top 5 worst cultures
Since when is "boudin" pork sausage and not blood pudding?
Seems like semantics given their origin and what they're made of
In french, a boudin is pork in a casing. It's just that the most well known type is boudin noir, blood sausage. There are other types, boudin blanc has no blood in it for example. the one here is another type unique to louisiana
Boudin blanc.
Boudin noir I assume.
