Interracial couple shares funny moment

A video posted by @gottaloveus031 shows the interracial couple sharing a cute moment together as the man attempts to speak in IsiZulu as he would hear his girlfriend say.

Upon paying close attention, however, the man is heard using foul language, which the girlfriend often uses toward him when annoyed or frustrated with him.

Entertained netizens react to the clip

Zulu is the most widely spoken home language in South Africa (24% of the population), and it is understood by over 50% of its population.[4]

Speaking isiZulu as a nonNguni person is a pretty cool skill. Many netizens found the video entertaining, with others questioning why the woman hit her bae when he picked up the language from her.
