Famous Creator Breaks Down Maltese Language

Mar 1 2024 Share

Almost 5 years ago famous youtuber Geography Now made a video about Malta as a part of his still ongoing series where he makes videos explaining everything about all the countries in the United Nations in alphabetic order. The original video is currently sitting on a massive 1.3 million views.

The video has yet again resurfaced and gone viral in Malta as the Geography Now’s host Paul Barbs recently posted a clip of the old video where he can be seen explaining Malta’s unique and different language. He explains that Maltese is the only Semitic language recognized by the European Union and is the only Semitic language written in Latin alphabet.

He also goes on to explain the origins and the mixture of the Maltese language due to the island’s extensive history of colonization that  shaped not only Malta’s language but also it’s overall culture. Paul states that the language is a fusion of Arabic, Sicilian, Italian, French and lastly English.

The video also includes some of his Maltese fans Julia and Bradley saying some casual sentences in Maltese to highlight the different influences in the languages such as “Bonġu (French) kif intom? (Arabic)” and “ċaw ! (Italian)”

Inclusive Drink ‘Gay Water’ Hits Maltese Stores

Inclusive Drink 'Gay Water' Hits Maltese Stores
Mar 1 2024 Share

The innovative vodka soda drink, “Gay Water,” has recently made its debut in local stores, introducing itself as a lifestyle brand with a strong commitment to representing the LGBTQ+ community.

This product stands out not just for its unique name—derived from a colloquial term for vodka and soda—but also for its mission to offer representation in spaces traditionally lacking it, such as bottle shops, bars, restaurants, and grocers. “Gay Water” aims to be more than just a beverage; it seeks to embody a statement of identity and inclusivity without succumbing to external pressures.

Throughout the pandemic, “Gay Water” managed to cultivate a significant social media presence on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. This success can be attributed to its vibrant marketing material and colourful packaging, which draw inspiration from the nostalgic aesthetic of ’90s Nickelodeon shows and the vividness of pop art.

These elements combine to create a brand that resonates with consumers not just for its taste but also for its cultural and aesthetic appeal, and it has now arrived in selected Maltese stores.

By positioning itself in this unique niche, “Gay Water” not only offers a refreshing choice for consumers but also champions the visibility and representation of the LGBTQ+ community in the beverage industry… are you picking up a can?

Millennials set to become the ‘richest generation in history’

Mar 1 2024 Share

Millennials have often been stereotyped as lazy, seeking simplicity in life, and struggling to afford homes due to costly trends. However, this perception is poised to shift dramatically as millennials are projected to become the wealthiest generation yet.

Individuals born between the early 1980s and the mid-to-late 1990s are poised to experience a significant financial boom in the coming two decades, due to the substantial property assets amassed by previous generations.

The Guardian reported that real estate agents Knight Franks in its 18th annual wealth report stated that approximately $90 trillion worth of assets will be transferred from generation to generation in the United States of America. The report goes on to say that this will make “affluent millennials the richest generation in history.”

This news might be surprising for many millennials who’ve faced tough times, like the 2008 financial crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic, and ongoing conflicts like the one in Ukraine. But despite these challenges, they could end up with more money than any generation before them.
