Dating a gasy girl and a vazaha in Madagascar

Gasy is short for Malagasy and means someone or something from Madagascar. If you don’t know what Vazaha means, you are one.

Vazaha means ‘stranger’ and almost always refers to a white person.

Are they Madagascans?

The word in the Malagasy language for someone or something from Madagascar is "Malagasy" (mal-a-gass-ee / mal-a-gass) or "Gasy" (gass-ee /gass). You pronounce "Malgache" (malgash) which sounds very similar to the way Malagasys say ‘Malagasy’ because they don’t distinguish between an ‘s’ sound (as in ‘serpent’) and ‘sh’ sound (as in ‘sherbert’).
