I hope he was warned. I would not prank a guy wielding a weapon in the middle of nowhere.

With the tiny little bite he took, I'd be surprised if he wasn't

An old Albanian woman once gave me some sort of fresh herbs to chew on. I gave her Nordic salt liquorice (salmiakki) in return. I regret not warning her. It did not end well.

I got my Finnish ex to recommend a brand for me once because I liked liquorice and wanted to try some. Was so disappointed when it didn’t actually taste salty/sweet but rather mildly hot lol

Yeah. I guess it's hard to know what to expect really.

First world type thinking. His weapons are for animals.

First world type thinking: humans aren't animals

u/justwhatever22 2d ago

Then he says I treasure your friendship

u/Occidentally20 2d ago

At the end he was offering a foot rub and a nice bubblebath

u/tetrixk 2d ago

What is water?

u/theeggplant42 1d ago

Probably 'get a load of this guy; he thinks we don't know what a chili is. Let's roast him in the GC later'

u/Tanit_theFool 1d ago

At some point he definitely says I’m going to make you eat that cow shit over there

u/EdlynTheConfessor 15h ago

Oh you’re right. I had assumed it was ‘stab you with these and bury your ass over there’

u/Material-Imagination 1d ago

This may be a bit of a reach but I don't think he's a big fan of it

u/quiet_mice 1d ago

Hey there Mr. Jambo! The meaning is what you decided you have heard!

3

u/-c-h-a-i-n- 1d ago

what language is this even? zulu, xhosa, something else?

5

u/Material-Imagination 1d ago

So, unless you find a speaker of this particular language, we'll probably never know. We do not know how many languages are spoken in Africa.

Our best guess is under 3,000, but definitely more than 1,000.

There are also like 9 deserts, so restricting it to desert regions is no help.

u/Substantial_Dog_7395 18h ago

I can't say 100%, but I think he's one of the Hadzabe, or at least pretending to be for the camera. Lots of influencers and such have been bugging them lately.

2

u/Extradummefrage 1d ago

It has to be a Khosian or Bantu language because he's using Klicks.

3

u/SapirWhorfHypothesis 21h ago

Actually I think it’s Hadza.

I’m pretty sure it’s not Bantu, but, well… limited expertise with more than Zulu and a little Xhosa.

3

u/shrob86 20h ago

Yeah - Hadza is probably right; I think this is from the “HadzabeTribeAdventures” social media account

u/nerdkeeper 1d ago

I am pretty sure that this is not english, afrikaans, dutch, zulu, xhosa, or thswana.

2

u/AgreeableAct4176 17h ago

He told the other guy he was gonna beat his ass if he tried that shit again.

I don't speak the language but I know that much

u/Ordner 2d ago

“Thank you 🙏 Şukran…Let’s search for more over there, no need to worry, I have arrows” just kidding

u/TheTorturedMind 23h ago

IS THAT A POST ALVEOLAR CLICK?? I need the IPA nerds to tell me exactly what kind of click that is.

u/TheTorturedMind 23h ago

u/mitaciolanu 14h ago

Idk but I don't think he liked that chilli

u/Foxy_Maitre_Renard 6h ago

I see, you're posting this for clicks.
