This part is sad.

[vue1130saetern]

haven't seen a traditional hmong wedding in a long time, young folks these days marries the american way.

[stinkyyia]

THaks



[throttlehard]

Such a wasted effort in singing this song for a daughter who married outside the race. The son in law is not even HMONG! Should save the song for a Hmong son in law that will appreciate these words better.

I bet the son in law's saying, " JUST GET IT OVER WITH, DAM-MET!" Probably doesn't even appreciate the Hmong culture and talks down on Hmong culture when ever he gets the chance to.

[vue1130saetern]

@throttlehard get over yourself, at least the dude put on hmong clothes and went thru with the whole hmong traditional wedding thingy which we all know can be a pain in the ass. and most importantly, he's not even hmong himself. i give him mad props for that. bet you never put on a hmong outfit before lol

[throttlehard]

@vue1130saetern

Get over myself? Please, elaborate? I parade with my Hmong outfit on cuz I have Hmong pride! unlike you "race traitors," eh? Please, don't tell me that you claim to have Hmong pride then turn around and marry outside the race?

So, what's your point? You either love being a Hmong person by marrying another Hmong or you just HATE being a Hmong person yourself which is why you chose to marry outside the race! Catch my drift?

[PamaPower1]

@throttlehard You are no example of Hmong. Sorry.

[throttlehard]

@PamaPower1

Who cares! You're a race traitor.

[PamaPower1]

@throttlehard I think that's you. Don't hate, just appreciate. Embrace the future. The future is now.

[throttlehard]

@PamaPower1

Wrote, "Embrace the future. The future is now."

Well, where did you hear that from? The many Thai lakorns that seem to keep you occupied during your time of leisure? Good one! [ripping away at your comment]

Yog koj yuav thuam lwm tus mas saib koj tus kheej tso. Piv xav tias yog "koj" yog Hmoob tus coj, puas muaj neeg raws "koj"? Yog "koj" coj li ko xwb no, peb cov Hmoob puas lees hais tias "koj" yog Hmoob?

Nco qab ntsoov tias, peb yog Hmoob ..tsis yog neeg dawb/dub tawv no, yom? Want more details? Want me to elaborate furthermore or will you just get angry and become belligerent?

[guys05]

is she married to a laos or khmer guy?

[Roddykm77]

Hey where's the beer n alcohol all is see is water n soda on the table:-)

[niamtxiv]

@rocky31peb  lol

[55ONG5]

that is a great wedding...Hmong wedding is the best........

[SimplyGone91]

-Im getting married soon and just the thought of going through this makes me so sad. Im bawling my eyes out. :'(

[chiayangful]

awwwww i'm watching this & i feel like crying, it so sad..

[aliasdoe007]

Those critical of the wedding ceremony or this song especially are plain ignorant and unappreciative period. There are several elements within a traditional wedding and this is a KEY piece. If you know or understand nothing, you should try to grasp all the KEY parts. They are highly invaluable which need no explanation.

Yog paub ces khaws cov lus mus ua neej ces zoo xwb.

[DEJNAG]

only those who understand zaj tshoob ntuas no thiaj li txawj mus ua neej. cov mus ua neej tawg tag yog cov tsis txawj siv tej lus quab ntuas nov. if you don't understand it, listen over and over until you learn.

not just for the girls, but the guy needs to do his part aswell.

[hlidra]

can anyone summerize in simple form?.. explain what he said please?

[mouaboi]

@hlidra he said that she has the bad luck of not being born a son to carry the family name, but to be born as a daughter to help carry other people's family name. then he goes on telling her how to live the life of an expected house wife.

[fany311]

y do they always hacve to sing these thing when they get merry???

[CITANSHANE]

huh? where's the Al's? hmong wedding but no alcohol? these people must go to church or something.

[USUCKALOT08]

The song is very meaningful. I love listening to these type of songs.

[zero52one]

yes i argee with hismissy99 yes wedding are suppose to be a wondeful happy time, but in our traditional wedding its about how a bride has become whom she is becaause of those that made her a wonderful person. honestly i think a hmong wedding is mainly about the bride which is nice becuase if i ever become a bride hehe i would love the attention and i would love to cry both happy tears and sad tears and anything else combined..

[nplejtshiab]

[hmongprecious]

[michellevue517]

I think that zaj tshooj is very important to the hmong poeple for it has been around for more then 100 years...it's nice to see that some people still has that technique

not many are blessed

[darkcloudakachor]

From my own opinion I think Hmong weddings is alright. Its just that some family are very cruel and wants to take revenge on what happen to them in the past so they hold grudges against one another. But for the paying of the bride its not suppose to be a bad thing like we thought. I think it is something the bride family wants the groom to prove and understand how life is by going to work for that money. Nowaday in America money is easier to make and the meaning of mariage is lost.

[tinathoj]

this is so sad, as a hmong girl, I wasn't lucky enough to have a hmong tradional wedding, as a wanted...thanks for sharing.

[22sandycha]

why not its suppose to be something thats very exciting during the time of your new life with your hubby and his family... even though half the time your parents make it seem very sad its the most exciting time to enjoy

[sundria]

Hell ya!!!! If any Hmong Married women out there don't know what this song is all about you really need to listen carefully. It is soooooooooo true and sad.

Although we (bride) are in the dark as well as the groom. We learn it afterwards and take it to heart.

[Javuot]

Ooohhhh.. No Wonder why he use that song. She marry a cambodian guy. Understand it now. Never heard this one before.

[kollektionz]

I think Hmong weddings should change. It's the darkest day of the grooms life. There's no Groom that looks forward to their wedding.

Objectives of the wedding:

- Get the groom as drunk as you can

- The groom side of the family is not invited. Just a couple of people that goes to the wedding.

- Cost of the bride & fines that the brides family charge the grooms family even though they were never there during what ever happens.

Believe me, I'm Hmong and I've been the best men for many weddings.

[Javuot]

TRUE. SO TRUE. That is the worst day for all/any HMOOB GUYS out there.

[sundria]

Totally agree with you about Hmong Wedding should change.  But hey!!!!! it is not the groom that is the only person in the dark.

Come on.....the bride is more darker.

I understand that you been Hmong best man a few times. But whhat you're missing or not understand is that the lady (bride) is also in the dark as well. Because these senerios:

1. they had no clue what/why they just been sold for a chuck of money?

[kollektionz]

Of course they know what the chunk of money is for.  I agree that you do and should pay for the bride, but the fines and groom side of the family is not there for the wedding should change.

It's not like the bride is leaving. She's still in the same country. Heck, I don't live with my parents. That doesn't mean I left them.

I would understand crying if the bride is married to some guy in Mars and leaving. But some of them are next door. LOL... and they still cry.

[aznbelle47]

@kollektionz

that's so stupid.. people cry for many reasons.. even if they live next doors, getting married is a change... jux cuz u didn't or wouldn't cry doesn't mean everyone should follow in ur footsteps..  - belle

[22sandycha]

well then my friend i suggest u not make the same mistake as your fellow friends did lol... so you don't get fine... well yes i do agree that its the darkest days for a groom but if you already understand the process and the correct ways of the wedding process there is no worries... when you think too much about the wedding part at the birdes place it brings on more stress inturn takes out all the fun in a wedding... its ok your only a groom once in your life don't stress too much about it :)

[itsmewang]

how much did the girl cost..... ?

[vangyangstar]

zoo heev li os, zaj ntuas ntxhais no yog 1 zaj ntuas tau zoo heev li, kuv kuj xav kawm kawg li thiab... Tab sis cov tub ntxhais niam no yus haus ntau tseem taug lawv pob ntseg xwb, koj puas ntseeg tias muaj tseeb li ntawv......

[meejvaj]

we need more of these traditional wedding recorded and to be on youtube or somewhere so we can learn to use these as a hmong resources for the next people who wants to see hjow it looks like to learn from it.....

thank you for this clip that put a hard effort to make this....thnx for the person who is getting married to let this video on here tooo

[4eyesyang]

Look maybe hmong traditional wedding maybe look weird or stoopid to you but if you understood the meaning of being a bride who has to leave her family to go and start her own then you would know but if you dont you should be saying it is weird and stoopid. Common sense people. Dont know how tradition goes then just sit and listen or just keep your shit to yourself. Wedding like this means alot to one person and another.

[VoiceOpinion]

Hmong weddings are so weird...always so much cryin...hahaha. They are supposed to be happy...damn weirdos...hahaha

[VoiceOpinion]

Well...if your sister has forgotten about her parents, then that's YOUR sister. Whether how sad or how much she cried at the wedding doesn't determine if she'll forget or won't forget her parents, hahaha. Still...I think hmong weddings should be more happy. I guess you could say if someone cries too much at their wedding, hmm...it's just tears of joy? Yeah...must be it...I can't figure any other thoughts for it. LoL

[trucker75]

I think Hmong wedding's are overrated. That's why everyone is crying , especially the bride... Because just as you think your life is beginning, it's actually ending as you know it..you just become a servant of your husbands family instead of your own.

[Mocho1977]

the big men, is you want to teach us the hmong culture and you explin tous in english, your parents are not hmong, your considers in you intelligent

[gstring06]

@Mocho1977

but he did explained it in English before he started to sing... he explained how she should love his family and how she should not disrespect his family if u didn't get that u should go back and rewatch this .. he also explain how she should change her self to fit into his family and now she is married does she know the role of a daughter in law.... the song is just the same thing just in hmong who ever uploaded tis clip skipped the whole explanation of the song only...

[tankyang]

lmao i know the guy in the orage

[hismissy99]

I love Hmong weddings, they are truly the best. Its not only traditional but it also gives you the real true blessings you need for a marriage. An American wedding can not be compared to a Hmong wedding as a Hmong wedding not only tell a story but is a time where the girl has become a woman and is now an independent individual who will start and begin our own family w/her husband. This Zaj Tshooj Ntuas Ntxhais is very very sad.

[gohan916]

@hismissy99 hey ladies i understand wat ur saying.... be see hmong wedding is jes getting blessing from family and others.... but if u not doing the american wedding.... ur not getting any blessing from god..... becz why... u didnt make any promise to god to keep your word....

[baby4y2k]

Wow... I love the Hmong culture...

[chesiness]

this is so sad makes me wanna cry already. thinking back to my wedding and how i miss my parents

[S2ebiiS2]

god i hate hmong weddings.

[Chai07]

agreed, my knees were busted for a whole 2 weeks and couldn't walk for 4 days

[Robertamissoniluv]

Don't cry, it's not the end of the world.

[lovewilllast1]

wat does ur parent means wen they say ur sister in law brother is also like ur real brother please hlep me

[MyzLynda]

@lovewilllast1

it means u take your husbands brothers and sisters as your won brothers and sisters. you treat them like how you would treat your bros and sis.

[lovewilllast1]

thanks it help me understand a little more

[Hmoobkc]

Wow, very interesting. Looks like she married a Cambodian guy and the wedding ceremony was performed on both cultures.

[jannco916]

wow lovewilllast u must be that desperate to want to go out with your sister in law's brother lmao! SICK......lolol

[lovewilllast1]

can u marry ur sister in law brother

[22sandycha]

its depends on how u look at it... dont let others put u down on what u want... love comes in different shape sized and forms and if its truly what u want for ur self go for it don't listen to anyone but ur guts... but remember taking that step toward that u must understand the different consequences and difficulties that lies ahead so be ready to over come the hardship and u two will be fine... best of luck to u

[lovewilllast1]

is it taboo 4 u 2 go out with ur sister in law brother

[jrockisthebest]

hrmmm never heard of that before. I have heard of dating the niece in law but not the sister.

[mfmt13]

Also in my country when a girl get married the mom or dad cried bcoz they miss the girl they have when she's still single. The daughter who always with them...

[pac916]

the parents cry because when the daughter gets marry the daughters spirit is no longer part of her family but part of her husbands family

[IrollinMDX]

how beautiful. it's always sad when a bride is leaving her family to become her husband's family. In my opinion, this part of the wedding is always the saddest part. reminds me of my wedding.... :(. I cried from the moment my mom put clothes on me til we get home and then later on again that evening. I bless these two with my love and happiness.

[bB0yFury]

sorry this guy is not hmong. i think it was laos. feel bad for her parents.

[laim86]

beautiful couple. the groom is handsome, the bride is extremely beautiful.

[jewynile]

yea i thought so..cuz he didnt look like hmong...but nice though...

[jewynile]

ey is the groom thai or laos??cuz he looks liek it...

[goodegoody]

hes cambodian .

[Minister1515]

I didn't like hmong culture when I was younger..but as I get older...now...it's so fascinating!!!

We need more zaj tshoob to be posted on youtube...this is very educational and will help the next generation to learn and keep the Hmong culture.

Bravo to whoever posted this up...thank you!!!

[bB0yFury]

yes, but why each different person has a different zaj tshoob. this is to complicated and hard to understand.

[liloSakura890]

there's always so much crying at the weddings.

it's suppose to be a happy moment; tears free.

but crying shows how much her relatives and family love her

[Yuamkevtiamno]

Ntuas tau zoo kawg tiam sis tiam sis hais lus hmoob ntshe yuav zoo tshaj koj hais zaj tshoob los kuj zoo kawg thiab tiam sis koj tus vauv thiab tus ntxhais ko ces tsis paub koj hais dab tsi li os.

[litolovecouple]

Cause of the wedding look sad because the side of the girl parents having a hard time with it.... They are getting the girl the lecture and letting the guy know what the mej koom want to say... That is why sad because the sad of the girl parents raised her up so long and are readly to make her own family... She is not on that table with her family any more... She is going to start up a new table that support her life from that day on....

[jrockisthebest]

exactly ^^

[bB0yFury]

i think parents are sad because he is not hmong people. relationship between both sides will be differents.

[litolovecouple]

Nope!!

look through every wedding!!

the mom always cry in her way!!

[miaoyaht]

Tears of love!

[vitalkill08]

His version is okay, typical tshoob ntuas ntxhais. I have 2 versions, one is just typical and the other is really complicated, but very very nice.

[763boi]

nice video i like listening zaj tshooj

[idliketosay]

alright, I'm a proud Hmong myself and i know this is all part of our culture-but why does this look more saddening than happy? Why is it that when it should be a time for celebration, we cry and and don't smile one bit at all? Instead, everyone looks depressed and sad, and the daughter is lectured and warned of all the bad things ahead. its almost hard to look at all the faces because they all look so sad and gloomy. for anyone not Hmong, this would look more like a BAD day than a GOOD day. =)

[shootme03]

you know...what u say is kind of true... but i think it just part of culture and there best wishes n last words

[miaoyaht]

A tragic to see such ignorant comment. Once you understand the concept you will see that it is actually not a "BAD" thing. What it supposedly to convey is, the mother and father love her so much that it is heart breaking. But she was born with a duty; and that is to full fill her role as a wife for another family. This song remains her to focus on her new family and be pure to not fall off track...in its most simplistic proverb. I urge you all to learn more Hmong words to fully understand.

[koolleo]

love hmong wedding.!!! i had the best time of my live when i got marry to my wife!!!! american wedding i just a walk on the run away...

[hmongpride916]

[september916]

[julye]

its very sad to hear this zaj tshoob....

bc when u think about it its like only 15 - 20 years with ur parents only and a life time forever with the man and other people for life...

[september916]

wow! i never thought of it like that! and im 18 already! wow!

[H007EXH]

People are marring to young if they are only spending 15-20 years with their parents.
