A conversation with Tokio

I've been asked what speaking Malagasy is like, so here's a video so you can hear. This little guy is my fan, Tokio. Tokio is very out-going. He always calls my name and asks me where I'm going or where I'm coming from when I see him in the village. Or he comes to my house, because he loves to come get his photo taken. One day I decided to take a video of him instead. Enjoy!

Here's the translation of the dialogue:

Leslie: Who?

Tokio: What?

Leslie: Who?

Tokio: Person over there.

Leslie: Oh. Where are you going?

Tokio: I’m going (not sure where he said). Dad’s drinking alcohol there.

Leslie: Your dad?

Tokio: Yeah.

Leslie: Your dad drinks, but you don’t drink?

Tokio: What?

Leslie: You don’t drink.

Tokio: Yes.

Leslie: And where’s your older brother?

Tokio: At school. Also, he went fishing. His (don’t know what Tokio said…I think fishing net?) is broken.

Leslie: What’s broken?

Tokio: He sews it and he uses bamboo. You do this (demonstration of fishing). You can’t.

Leslie: You can’t.

Tokio: He moved it. He moved it to Mama ny Yon’s house.

Leslie: Oh. You will eat fish today?

Tokio: Yeah.

Leslie: Do you like fish?

Tokio grunts.

Leslie: Yes? Do you like fish?

Tokio: Yeah.

Long pause… new kids come and say hi.
