what? she understands german? she speaks german??

@TheHeavyCross She was right about its meaning but her name is actually English, well specifically the Afrikaans version of Beatrice, which means "blessed; she who brings happiness." It's interesting that she fucked that up considering the British are the ones responsible for her even being from Africa. LoL

Haha,

"if you're from Africa... then why are you white?"

[TheHeavyCross]

@Tannimanni94 her parents are from Namibia, a southern country in Africa. I think she stated in another video that her parents' families all come from Namibia and South Africa. Germany did at one point in time, colonise Namibia. It was called "German South-West Africa". So in her family she could have a mix of Boer (Dutch descent) and German blood. But as far as I know, she only speaks English and Afrikaans. I find African countries have some of the most interesting histories in the world. <3

@vadiazinhagenteboa as stated before, I could just be guessing... but I think 'Behati' is probably a rendition of the modern-day 'Beatrice', used in many countries including German, which derives from 'Beate' in Latin, which does mean 'blessing/blessed'.

[twentiesgirlsRT]

@ChuloChico69 I think she's probably confused. 'Behati' is, I believe, the Afrikaans version of 'Beate', which is a version of 'Beatus' in Latin which means 'blessed; one who brings happiness'. but Beate has been translated to 'Beatrice' which is often used in many languages, such as English, French, as well as German.
