[hawkins108]

How are the Italians generally seen in Eritrea and what do they think of us?

[danny98061]

[pompei1968]

@MrPortfolio101 eritrea!!! a country named and built by the italians!!! but you sure are an ignorant idiot..that has no education...may italians and eritreans unite again..except you

[bastard85inside]

@MrPortfolio101 maybe that's why u r already out of Eritrea...i'm sure u will never talk like this if u were in Asmara...and u r the bad example of Eritrean man us a betrayer...!did u ever went to Sawa?!

[MrPortfolio101]

@bastard85inside Eritrea is a GORGEOUS country, and beautiful women but I have never been there though. Be aware the Nasty Italians, they are in bad intentions ALWAYS. Good Lucky.

[Jonzer1983]

[ChocolateSkinful]

[TMack771]

@ChocolateSkinful

He's a Chinese man living in Eritrea. Search for "Chinese man singing in Tigrina Fetsival Eritrea"

[Wavvyness0663]

[Agamiestan]

WOW this Italian man speaks BETTER Tigrigna than most AGAMES who speak a disfunction version called Agamigniya like lawzi hizi nawzi tigrigna

[CJLydia]

Lol, he really does speak better Tigirinya than me...

[MsWachuwant]

[torontotoday]

Another point, my tigregna is not even remotely half as good as yours. Good job!

[torontotoday]

The interviewer is really irritating & silly!!! Somebody kick him away!!!

Andria is so nice. We love that you loved us! You are welcome in our Country. Little advice to you, don't give interviews to silly people.

IT'S JUST FASCINATING TO SEE TALENT HAS NO BOUNDARIES!!!!

Thanks for the upload,,,, I HAD A BLAST,,,, Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

[danNYx86]

ahah..that italian guy can speak tigrinya so good...better than myself, it's so hilarious

[moshe74329]

Hey Guys ..dont be fooled....Andrea was in Eritrea when he was a kid...1995-1996-1997-1998...He lived in campopolo..he speaks Tigrigna....he said he could speak tigrigna in a year...which is a lie....his childhood was here.

So ....andrea wedi Asmara dont lie....we were friends ... Journalist....he is not proffesional.....his questions are rude.....

[TMack771]

@moshe74329

He said he learned to speak Tigrinya within one year, which sounds right...and btw, It's not that he can speak Eritrean Tigrinya that's amazing, it's how flawless his Eritrean Tigrinya is that's stunning. Besides, he clearly stated his grandfather has always been living in Eritrea. So if you seen him as a child in 1995, then you probably seen him visiting his grandfather.

[moshe74329]

[blaint09]

that is hott! now can we get some hottie europeans to speak amharic?

[TONITOxMETIN]

@blaint09

no we r not

[simbatheholz]

this reporter tries to be funny especially by making fun of his last name and he also is rude because he always interrupts the poor guy! but respect, he is killing it with his tigrinya!

[BahreNeGash]

@simbatheholz

Hey,,, This video has got 38,042 viewers & 48 likes, 1 dislike.

It looks like you are the ONLY one bitching & mouing about the video,,, I WONDER WHY?

These guys are having a good time while you are the ONLY bitching & mouning about the video.

YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T WATCH IT!!!

[TMack771]

@simbatheholz

I think you are forgetting this is a candid camera episode (hence the annoying laughter throughout the segment). The Italian guy didn't know it was a candid camera episode till the very end. Actually, the proper term for him is Italian-Eritrean, since he's officially an Eritrean citizen and speaks one of Eritrea's nine languages better than most.

[bastard85inside]

@TMack771 I'M NOT ERITREAN CITIZEN!

[makhate]

yeah he must definitely be hamfets...

[babygurlmichiie1998]

DAAYUUUMM! He speaks better than me! ;)

[kakaman97]

i think it was funny.

but seriously when he lived 10 years in this country it's a must to Learn the language. so i don't understand that reaction of some people how think it is something special to speak after 10 year so fluently

in deutschland regen die sich ja auch auf, wenn ausländer die sprache nicht nach mehreren jahren beherrschen.

[Baburaye]

@kakaman97 you are absolutely correct. I should also point out that some Italians who reside in Eritrea, for more than 15 years, have never learnt the language. I know, because I've meet a few. Ignoramus...

[BahreNeGash]

@kakaman97

CHEERS TO THE ITALIAN SPEAKING TIGRIGNA.

BTW: The English lived in India for more than 300 years but none of them learned Indian languages.

Instead, they thought the Indians how to speak their language, English.

Therefore, NOT all the people who MOVE TO NEW PLACES GET LEARN & FLAWLESSLY SPEAK THE LANGUAGE of the places they moved in 10 YEARS.

Therefore, you got to give the man a credit for learn local languages on his own initiative, in less than 300yrs, as the English in India.

[cutiepies50]

he speaks better tigrina than my parents. I wish I could be as good as him.

[PoetryFlowsThruMe]

Oh my goshhh ! He speaks soo beautifully ! He puts me to shamee for real : ) Lol , I lovee it though !! Who is he ? We are getting married .. asap !

[wedisegen]

This is supposed to be a Prank, so don't take it too seriously people.

[LYDIA21LOVE]

DAMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN WHO IS THIS GUY!

[Meezletoe]

Sorry I got bored and commented so much cause it was taking so long to load. But I finally saw it - HE'S GOOD!!! Amaaaaaaaaazziiiing, I wish I could meet him. :D Lucky guy and crazy story :D 'yeah my grandfather left me property' haha wowza! He has an amazing accent too, and in one year. Damn, if he learned that fast then maybe I have a chance, I don't want an accent like this.I wish they asked him how he did it though, just immersion or what? He seems nice too so maybe friendliness/socializing.

[Meezletoe]

All these people (like me) saying he speaks better tigrinya than us, and we're watching this - we should have an online movement where we teach each other tigrinya xD and help each other out and stuff, like on Paltalk or something (so many eritreans there) or those online webcam things - or just chat rooms so its grammar for the beginning and just ext. It'd be hilarious if you bumped into someone you knew though or if you were related and you didn't even know HAHAHAH XD

[venetostato]

VIVA L'ERITREA!

VIVA L'ITALIA!

VIVA I VALOROSI ASCARI!

RITORNEREMO

[afro1king]

lmfao...white eritrean....

[hermonnw1]

it don't feel right tho

[Zagretay]

Don't believe anybody who says Tigriyna is difficult. If there is a will, there is a way...

[yared94]

SKEET SKEET

[SOYUZ1968]

Asmara is not so different from a centre-southern italian town....I think Italians could easily feel themselves like they were in Italy...

[TheZelalem1]

ma come se e tutta la vita che sta la!!!!pero' e forte adria cani e il giornalista che e ignorante!!!

[Meezletoe]

@TheZelalem1 I put that in this translator and it said "but as if all life and that is the!! pero 'adria and strong dogs and the journalist and ignorant!"

[bissratabr]

that is nice

[Metswahi]

wey gud yehe eritrea new teweldo yadegew yemn fugera new.lol

[habeshagirl86]

@Mr510Krazy u are an idiot, dumb ass

[Alumiael]

It's not a big deal if someone stranger learns how to speak the language which he currently lives in but as a comment, I'm from Asmara n most deki Asmara also knew that there're lots of mix Italians in our city with double passports so honestly speaking, i don't think this young man spends only 10 years in Asmara but rather he is born in Asmara. As the lazy ass reporter mentioned in the end of his silly interview, it's just all about making a comedy in order to entertain viewers that's all !

[mynameisfame]

Ein supper kerl

[BahreNeGash]

Wow,,, FASCINATING UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Some spend a life time to learn their own name.

Others cross oceans, find away to assimilate, learn how assimialte with others.

Welcome to Eritrea.

[87yordi]

oddio ma è Andrea.. ha ha poverino che tortura... ha ha ha ha...... 

[083770]

If he lives there he better learn the language. What's with the canned laughter?

[Takief1]

Who made that retard a reporter. The worest ever. The white boy is smart.

[rezeneg]

[Meezletoe]

@g9nnar I wouldn't be surprised if you did. Eritreans n their crazy networking skills. xD hahaha, see some random person on TV 'HEY I KNOW THEM. N MY FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT THAT GUY I SAW WALKING IN THE BACKGROUND NEXT TO TSEHAY! Man either Tsehay or someone in Tsehay's family is always somewhere in the background, I'm not even surprised anymore'

[Meezletoe]

hehe I love it when this happens though. Its like 'hey I know that guy's grandmother. I've seen his room before too, there was clothes everywhere, n he needs to organize his CDs...'

[TheVadim1985]
