Jimmy Kimmel and Dua Lipa at the show |
The Albanian-origin singer Dua Lipa is undoubtedly one of the most influential ambassadors for our country on the international stage. Through her music and public appearances, she has consistently showcased Albania and Kosovo to the world.
During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Dua Lipa showcased her Albanian heritage by speaking in Albanian and explaining some of the most famous Albanian expressions to the host. Among them were phrases like "she made grapes and plums" or "hyp se t vrava, zdyp se t vrava," which she eloquently translated and discussed with Kimmel.
The moment took an unexpected turn when Jimmy Kimmel surprised everyone by speaking in Albanian himself. Dua Lipa, visibly surprised and impressed by Kimmel's effort, warmly congratulated the host for his attempt at speaking Albanian.
This exchange not only highlighted Dua Lipa's pride in her Albanian roots but also demonstrated the power of language and culture in connecting people from different parts of the world. It was a proud moment for Albanians everywhere to see their language being shared and celebrated on such a prominent international platform.
