ex. Manuia lou aso fanau. Roughly Cheers your birthday
The literal translation for "lou aso" is "your day".
*expletive addressing person familiarly*, don't worry so much!
Being said to someone who is annoying the speaker. Depending on tone, this could be used as an insult or a good natured ribbing.
The Samoan Islands are in the central Pacific Ocean about half way between Hawaii and New Zealand.
They straddle the International Date Line. Half of the islands are an independent country named Samoa, the others belong to the United States (American Samoa).
Islands of Samoa (not American Samoa) are as follows: Upolu, Savaii, Manono, Apolima, Nuutele, Nuulua, Nusafe'e & Fanuatapu.
A samoan sasa is a special traditional dance. Except you sit down and do moves on the ground. You hit the ground with your hands and do slaps on your knees. You do not use a song but a pakie (a kind of bongo drum but long and you use sticks).
E pei oe o so'u uso. E pei oe o so'u uso. . . .
I doubt very much if the above is regular usage , )
Not sure of brother, but a casual greeting in friendship and family is sole. Pronounced
soh-lay, quickly, both barells.
Not for strangers, especially not in Samoa!

Fa'atali se'i o'u toe va'ai ia te oe i se taimi o i luma.
Because back in the days when there was no toilet paper samoans used rocks to wipe their butts.
No! They're two completely different ethnic groups. Samoans are from a country called
'Samoa' in the South Pacific, hence the word 'South Pacific' (Australasia) meaning Samoans come from a different continent from where Africans are from.
Basically comparing a Samoan to an African is like comparing the English to the Chinese.
Obviously, they're not the same.
How to make a umu, okay then, first you make a blazing fire and then you cover the fire with volcano rocks. While the volcano rock are heating up the women are in the kitchen getting all the food ready like peeling the taro and the green banana and cutting up the pua'a (pork) and going up the road to buy some coconut cream. When the volcano rocks are hot you put a metal net on them to cook the food on. And then you put on the food like the taro an the palusami and then cover the food with banana leaves and wet news paper and when you smell nice things you cover it with wet mats. After 1 and a half hours you remove the newspaper, the leaves and the mats and let the food cool down and then BUNNAPATTEAT!!
Malo soifua teine aulelei. Edit: "Hello baby" translates literally to "Talofa Pepe" (Talofa - Hello; Pepe - Baby), but using the word "pepe" just doesn't have the right feel in the context it's said in, so perhaps in translating the idea/meaning, we could instead say, "Talofa Pele", which translates to "Hello Dear".
Polite/respectful/formal - Taumafa, tausami, talialo, talisua; informal/every day talk - ai, fai'aiga
O le a ou iai pea i ou tafatafa i le fa'avavau ma fa'avavau.
Sekia literally means "it's set" but in slang, it's used in the context of "awesome".
The beginning means "I already told you to.." but the last word is spelled wrong and can't make anything of it. It resembles an insult spelled "ai kae". Which would be a grave insult making the phrase "I already told you to eat feces."substituting the last word, of course for the common swear word meaning the same.
