Question from a white woman
Hi everyone! I am a mkazi wazungu (I don’t know if I am spelling that right haha), and texting with a Malawian man after meeting him on my recent trip to Malawi.
(I am very aware that Malawian men are charmers and don’t expect it to be anything other than a bit of harmless flirting)
I have some questions though:
- he keeps saying kkkk among his messages- does this mean anything in particular or just a filler? I think in English, if someone said this it would be ‘ok’ but with a touch of annoyance in it
- I am learning some basic Chichewa, he said he would teach me and is telling me a lot of things about it but I don’t think I’m a very good student with the structure of Chichewa, although I can repeat phrases and vocabulary with a good accent (he says haha), does anyone have any recommendations
- what is the social attitude to a Malawian man getting with a white woman - is this purely for status points or is there a chance he is also having fun
- what are Malawian men’s attitudes to their women being older? He doesn’t realise it because neither of us have spoken about our ages but I learned through a friend that I am 4 years older than him
Any other advice??
