FAAAAAAAAAAAACEBOOK FRIEND ME, PHEJ~!

Im really in an argument about racism with a romanichal RIGHT NOW and this mother fucker is so fucking racist. Why do they wanna be white so bad? WHY? Why do they align themselves with white people SOOOO much?

He really just called black people “Tyrones.” And used the word “nigga.” Im about to faint.

I posted my “On White People…” video to my Facebook, and one of the comments I got just…made me dislike white folk even more. And this comment was NOT original, hes not the first person who said it, or thought of it, and he sure as hell isnt the first person who thought he was speaking revelation when he said it:

“But youre white.”

No shit. But really, tell me, how does that change the racial situation in this country and all over the world? Do you think you have revealed some deep shit to me? You think I dont know I have white skin? Do you think I somehow walked through my life not knowing my skin color? Look, white boy. I know you probably walked through your privileged ass life not thinking about any of this shit because you didnt HAVE TO. And, you think that being white somehow exempts us from any responsibility we have to LOOK THE FUCK AROUND …but I noticed, and that notice turned into sheer fucking anger. Now go sit the fuck down.

British Romany people are Romanichal, no? Romanichal means children of the Rroma, I thought? We’re a branch which comes from the European Roma, most of my family are pale

Growing up, I was…

This is just a random anecdote. But, I noticed the way Romanichal speak. I have a couple Romanichal friends on FB and this is literally a status I just copied from one of thems page:

Dawty, don’t let mandy lel in the sheras of dese gadjis vortin fer folki to kur der booti ferrem. Gadjis si mogo speshaltee. Mite azwel lel a vacoom inder pootsies bahahaha.

As I was walking my dog, someone said "Oh I love your dress! You look like a Gypsy!"

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:02:59 -0600

I took a deep breath and prepared to rip into them.

Instead…I just said “I am a Gypsy.”

..picked my phiribe up a notch or two….

and kept walking.

džulory ladžala: Rromani (Rromanes) word of the day!:

helloimlulu:

I am going to try to keep up with this, because I want us all to take part!! I am not fluent in Rromani, but I am conversational and I would like that to change.

From what I know, the dialect of Rromani that I am familiar with is either Bugurdzi or Arli (Kosovo) dialect. I…

Another word we have for sleepy is sovauno..or..according to romlex its “sovavno” but..to me it sounds like sovauvo? Maybe I am wrong. Anyway…id like to read up on why there are so many Rromani dialects and how they came to be what they are. Do you know any books that discuss things like that? Like…

How do you go from lindralo….to sovavno? Lol. Those are like two totally opposite ends..but then we have cino, khino, etc that are exactly the same!? I know that Serbian is sooo similar to Bugurdzi and Arli. Some of the words are exactly the same.

Well, I guess we just picked up words from surrounding dialects, all while keeping and maintaining many of our own…all across the board.

Rromani (Rromanes) word of the day!

From what I know, the dialect of Rromani that I am familiar with is either Bugurdzi or Arli (Kosovo) dialect. I apologize I am not entirely sure which.

Today, I am very tired and sleepy! So I will choose the word “tired.”

Umorno!

Tired is ‘umorno!’ (oo-more-no).

*I often use ‘umorno’ to describe being VERY tired. So, as a side note I will include ‘sleepy’ which is khino (kh-ee-no).

ganapatayei:

Ganesha went crazy with the candy.

Ganesha ate so much sweets that his stomach burst open. Pretty crazy stuff.

He tied his stomach together with a snake, but that didn’t help much.

Ganesh loves candy—this is symbolic of loving the “sweeter” side of life and the “sweet” side of spirituality. He also has a big belly so he can digest our problems.

Anyhow, so, the moon (Chandra) was kind of being a dick about it, right? He was laughing at poor ole’ Ganesha and his bursted open belly.

Wrong choice, Mr. Moon Man.

Ganesh was so upset with the moon that he cursed him to only show his entire face once a month! Hence the phases of the moon.

Fun story.

Om Gam.

In my dialect, there are two words for “light-skinned Rroma”.

Pharnavi - which means both grandmother and a “white” or “light-skinned” Rromani woman.

Themni - which means a foreign or strange woman, a non-Rromani woman, or a “white” or “light-skinned” Rromani woman.

So, even within my…

We use the word ‘svetlo’ to mean like…lightness in color. Or fair…but it also means light (color wise) for anything. A strange woman…is not used interchangeably with light skinned, that I know of. Since, strange woman is musafri. Musafri or tudzo…same difference kinda?

According to ROMLEX these words fit with Bugurdži Romani.

Bugurdži Romani belongs to the Balkan dialect group, more specifically the Northern Balkan group, sometimes also refered to as Drindari-Kalajdži-Bugurdži group. Bugurdži Romani is mainly spoken in Macedonia and Kosovo. Names also used to refer to this dialect are: Rabadži, Arabadži, and Kovač(k)i. The Bugurdži Romani glossary in ROMLEX consists of data from Macedonia and Kosovo.

Oopsie I meant to reblog this one. But I found the romlex!!! Yeah it seems like the words I speak or know are a mix of Bugurdzi and Kosovo Arli. Soo crazy!!!

Talking bad Gurbetski. I was thinking in Lotfitka and Anglo-Rromani which is why I sound like an idiot.

Excuse the face. I can’t help it, tis the one I was born with~

Oh my God I was really expecting you to have much more of an English accent!! hahahaha. You should do more videos!!! I understand….not very much of this. I understand this as much as I understand Spanish wish is maybe every few words im like “oh OH I GOT THAT ONE!”

I really want to know what dialect I speak. How did you figure out?

Dont delete it! Do more!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
