    David's Been Here is bringing you all the information you need to know about Rwanda, Africa before you visit. In this short video, David and Amani present some of the basics in the official Rwandan language, Kinyarwanda. Whether you're looking to say hello to locals, ask how much things cost, or rattle off some conversational basics, this short, informative video will get you started. Though most people do speak English in Rwanda, showing off a bit of the local language is always appreciated wherever you travel.

    About Me:
    My name is David Hoffmann and for the last decade I have been traveling around the world in search of unique culture, food and history! Since starting Davidsbeenhere in 2008, I have traveled to 71 countries and over 1,000 destinations, which I welcome you to check out on my CZcams Channel, blog and social medias.
    I focus a great deal on food and historic sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, whether it’s casual Street food or gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning the local history and culture.

    Let me count using our Ndebele from South Africa:
    1-kunye
    2-kubili
    3-kuthathu
    4-kune
    5-kuhlanu
    6-sithandathu
    7-sikhombisa
    8-bunane
    9-lithoba
    10-lisumi.
    We call water amanzi and they say amazi. I see likeness in our languages but our dialects do differ in most cases I believe. Interesting!!!

    • @aleckantu5759

      Koos Mtshweni Thank you, I am surprised we have common things in our language:
      1. Rimwe
      2. Kabiri
      3. Gatatu
      4. Kane
      5. Gatanu
      6. Gatandatu
      7. Karindwi
      8. Umunani
      9. Icyenda
      10. Icumi
      What else do we have in common? There’s one verbe I think we have in common “Gupfumbata”.

    @phindabuthelezi6247 Před 6 lety +34

    Im Zulu and its so weird that I could actually make out so many of those words. Im fluent in Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, Tswana, Sotho, Pedi and Tsonga. So some of the words fall in any other the other languanges of South Africa

    • @didasm.gisagara
      @didasm.gisagara Před 6 lety +13

      Mzala Kay We are all Bantu people (Zulus and Rwandans). We have the same origins, so that's why the similarities are there.

    • @busyhacker63
      @busyhacker63 Před 5 lety

      I have detected that too. some words in here I can see that they have the same meaning with ours in South Africa

    From Chicago. And am learning the Zulu and Xhosa languages of South Africa and see some similar sounding words. These BaNtu languages are beautiful

  • @helloxonsfan
    @helloxonsfan Před 9 lety +16

    I'm a complete & total Afro-phile. I studied Kiswahili in college & was pretty descent at it. But I've long forgotten most of it now since I never got the chance to frequently practice it here in New York. But I recognize some of the similarities especially in their number system. Much thanks for sharing this.

  • @topsnek9384
    @topsnek9384 Před 6 lety +9

    I like how the spelling is very straight forward and accurate to the sounds of the language.

  • @jean-pierredevent970
    @jean-pierredevent970 Před 5 lety +15

    I just visited the African restaurant "La boule bleue" in Brussels and I heard people speaking. I found the sound of the language very musical and fluent. No harsh sounds.. I was as soft as French. But now when I see it written, it reminds me of Japanese and Japanese on it's turn has a certain "the people of the islands" vibe because of the syllables with only one consonant and one vowel. Compared to our horrible Indo European languages it sounds very old and friendly like mother earth itself. Hope you know what I mean...

    Its interesting, the consonant-vowel combination makes a lot of the words sound Japanese haha.

    • @ZeeZee9
      @ZeeZee9 Před 2 lety

      I was thinking this same thing. I heard theories East Asian languages may have connections to some African languages. You never know.

    • @ZeeZee9
      @ZeeZee9 Před 2 lety +1

      Or also sounds like it might be tonal, like East Asian languages.
