- It's a big stereotype... but is it true? I asked 18 random Australians if they actually use the word "g'day" to greet fellow Aussies, and the responses were surprisingly inconclusive.

I dont want to live in an Australia where we no longer say Gday. Its one of the friendliest greetings in the world.
I'd definitely say to any visitors gotta represent but I do say g'day mate now but use how's it going mate and how ya going mate constantly
Facts
agreed. Once people from overseas know that it basically means 'Hello Friend' they love it.
As a bogan I'm a little disappointed in my fellow strayans
I feel so old now! I say G'day all the time....
me as an american trying to figure out what you just said-
@MusicManMaurice what?
Bloody hell whats wrong with you all, This guy knows, His answer is spot on 4:00
Stands to reason when you ask young people they are uneducated in there own culture and have become victims of their own distortion of facts.
So most wouldn't know they grew up with immigration.
Welcome to the brainwashed new world order globalized generation.
Bloody oath! It's one of the most unique phrases only to us and NZ: "G'day, mate... howya goin'?" It's a deadset classic in our vernacular! Embrace the word!
I feel like the "statistics' have been swayed here. Out side of the bigger cities people still say G'Day all the time. I know I do, and am not that old.
Yeah, probably a good point! It seems to be used less in the cities.
Hopefully it never dies out... I love saying it!
Yes! It comes so naturally. G”Day, how ya goin? 😁
I think if he asked people over 15, he'd find more people use it. We older people aren't quite so Americanised ;)
I've been in Melbourne for years and I still say & hear it.
g'day mate!
G’day! 😁
G'day m8
g'day might
G day 👍
G'day, hows it goin?
The younger generation is very americanised, as an oldie I say either g'day or hayagarn.
JB , I have a personalized plate on my car in Arizona that says "HYAGOIN"
Nice one Scott, I hear Aussie rules football is getting a foothold over there too.
G’day G’day
I wouldn’t say ‘Americanised’, it’s just how our language has evolved over time. It’s always been considered to be part of the lower class citizens of Australia, just even more so now
@@vavacadoz There's a good video about the three different Aussie accents, and yes I am pretty much working class.
G’DAY MATE~
Oi Oi Oi
Aussie Aussie Aussie

Lix!
another stay 😱
Ozozoz
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi oi oi
I've found that a lot of people who don't think they say g'day actually do. I never realised that I said it as much as I do until I talked to non-Aussies.
m2
Yep. When i actually think about it i do say it a fair bit. Especially on the phone if im speaking to a stranger.
Exactly, as a non Aussie I hear it all the time. Clearly stating that you're Australian by greeting someone with "G'day" is meant to prepare the stranger to expect some degree of cultural confusion IMO. If you say "good morning" back, they think you're a ponce. @@pissiole5654
For me G'day is more common but G'day mate is usually between guys and their friends in the country. I think Australia is so multi cultural now it will eventually be lost along with a lot of other slang. Also over the years I have notice new slang coming in so it is also changing with different generations.
that's because of so much US influence we get. Too much American shows and reality tv crap on our screens at cinemas.
It’s the US influence for sure. I notice in my own communication and see it with my kids.
If we let G’day die out…
We have lost a unique, fun part of our cultural identity
@@bradhouston4734 I don't think G'Day will ever go. From what I have seen it can be a bit of fun teaching foreigners to say this as many can never quite say it right but they always have a go and it is a good giggle for all. Think that one might stick around.
btw, to speak proper 'strayan u gotta say "G'day Mate, S'goin on?" real quick, kinda like you gotta time limit
"Oi" would sounds too British. I always greet my mates with "oi, mate" or "oi, lad"
Scarnon.
@@richardstratford7126 too british? where d ya think we got our slang from in the first place?
scarnon cunce
You're not Australian if you don't say G'day every day!!
You’re not a bogan if you don’t say gday everyday, yeah, but I’d say you’re still an Aussie
They're NOT Australian they are Queenslanders.
@@vavacadoz you sir are a disrespectful twat return back to your city life and stay there pease !!
@@aussieguy3689 it’s not disrespectful, it’s true. Aren’t you bogans supposed to be proud of your usage of tacky slang words? It’s literally what every outsider recognises us for, so... embrace it?
@@vavacadoz Not bogan but Australian there is a big difference mate !
I literally say G'day to any person I know/meet, these kids are doing it wrong
Yes your right. Kids today are all wrong.our education system in far left I blame the education not teaching our children Australian history.. they think GDAY comes from movies.. sad future ahead
@@iwillnotcomply2002 its a word who cares lol
@@kade_silver well good onya mate who cares,well I tell u many still stand to our anthem. And tho the tax payer pays the bills. I suggest you take yr head out of the ground and look about. But who cares.
@@kade_silver People who dont like seeing their country turn to shit, that's who cares, Get a grip man.
@@kade_silver
So you probably Australian who doesn't use G'day like what traditional people usually do.
That's sad
1:07 im japanese but dont know this expression lol
Nah that's an expression made for a happy face....no Japanese person say uwu lmao.......it's just ..people portray it as if it's Japanese expression but it's not. Ahaha-
Lol
It’s more for furries
Гыыыыыы
確かに草。でも楽しそうだからいいや
I'm from New Zealand and I claim G'day as ours now 🇳🇿♥️🇦🇺
You can never take from us mate, these young people in the videos will say it the older they get.
@@MrSeanMDolan Our young people say it all ready🇳🇿
Naur mate, G'day will always be for the Aussies
"Maybe true Aussie blokes do"
I am now a proud true Aussie bloke
Yes mate there's millions of us Australians blokes saying gday it's natural be proud to be Australian ofcouse.
Proud to be a true Aussie sheila too
Me too ...apparently 😂. I say G'day pretty much every day.
1:05 - Wtf
What
"Gen zees dont really say it" ... we've lost the battle. The new generation is the US TV generation.
And i have to grow up with them
Dont worry there is a few of us that were taught well
@@BlackJack-pf8kd yeah same when I see my mates I say g’day all the time
HAHAHAHA SHIT
Well being a 7yrs international student here, just realised a interesting thing when I was in Tassie 4yrs ago people love to say G’day literally even walking on the streets greeting random people . But yeah, very rare to see people say G’day in Sydney here
2017: I was travelling in the UK & had decided that I didn't want to be a typical Australian tourist...
So the first shop I walk in to the first thing I said was "G'day!"
PS: I was born in the 1960s! (It may well be a generational thing that the younger generations have been Tele-educated by American TV programs to use more American slang)
czcams.com/video/PT331BRkkP0/video.html
Haha at least you tried
It depends on what part of australia you live in. I'm like... NSW coast near Newcastle or something... a lot of people say g'day, but a lot don't. it depends on who you're with, what type of person you are, the level of friendliness... like g'day adds at least 3 points to you're friendliness level (saying this as a person who doesn't commonly use g'day)
As a 21 Aussie, I still say g'day occasionally but yeah not too often. I live in the UK and I purposefully don't say it as I don't want to be a stereotype.
Please except this valuable piece of advice of friendly piece of wisdom from a fellow Aussie that is twice your age which adds up to twice as many cracks at fu¢king it up and three times as wise because of it which equals not giving a flying fu©k about being stereotyped as Aussie because ALL Australians are fu©ken mad ©unts! and that's just how it is 😉
Swallow a mouthful of cement or build a friggin bridge and get over it. Quit acting like a pu$$y ¢unt and harden the fu©k up mate....💪😉
✌️☮️❤️🇦🇺🥂
Oh no, embrace the stariotype! It's fun. I'm a brit who's not posh but sounds it so of course I take the piss out of myself lol. Oh and stroof/struth is awesome along with shila :)
i must say g'day about ten times a day . and im english . ive been in aus for 50 years tho .
Mate, if you've been here for 50 years ya a bloody Aussie! G'day!
To see G’day disregarded as a cultural relic breaks my heart.
Saying G’day isn’t about reflecting multiculturalism. Heck, think of all the nationalities that were shipped here or came here in hope of a better life. G’day has been there the whole time.
What’s happening now is that:
1. It’s not seen as “cool”
2. It didn’t get the airplay that all the US greetings do
Let it die out and turn your back on the great Australia that many of us grew up in
I came from South Asia, and I use G'day every day. Recently got a mullet, love wearing thongs, die for bloody snags, hit bush most of the weekends, my beer needs to be on a stubby holder, I drive ute, naah, yeah I just love Austraya mate.
"asked 18 random Australians"? Complete nonsense - they were all in the same neighbourhood, same street, and all from the same age group (except for one token old guy). Nothing RANDOM there. People in that age group tend to use their own slang (leftovers from their high school Americanisation), but as they get older they lose it and take on a lot of more generally used local expressions. I can assure you, "g'day" is frequently heard out there, and even migrants learn it fairly quickly.
No it’s not really I’m an Aussie
yes!
@@TuxedWigg G'day Yizzle, So am I, you don't know what the hell your on about.
Absolutely Bang on mate.
Give him a break! Why don't you try making your own content
Hey I found that the videos about accent slang and culture about Aussie are having the best views and the most interesting topic.I know that the views of your last two videos might be a bit disappointing but I’m sure if you keep doing it and do follow the path about Aussie things you would definitely get heaps of views.Looking forward to it.I love your videos about slangs.
"How ya going, mate". That was the usual greeting "in my time". I lived in Australia in the sixties.
That's how it still is once you're outside of the CBD.
Come to regional or rural Australia and you will get the more "sterotypical" Aussie vernacular.
I'm 67 years old and use G'day very often but I think it may be more a rural thing and also it might also be dying out - but I really hope it isn't.
Normal human beings 🤦🏽♂️ Gday is our norm, as a youngin myself with no Aussie blood, but born and raised, am proud to say Gday every day of the week. G'day Mate!!! ❤🇭🇲
I didn't realise how often we say it until we travelled to the USA and we were trying to avoid sounding like tourists. All our kids say it and their friends as well as 'hey' and 'sup'.
Stereotyped??? How in the hell is it stereotyped, when what the younger gens say is stereotyped. "Wasssup", "sup mate", "yo", "hey", etc are just stereotypes.
I am still learning about the accent
This video can help me to find a way to learn it. Thanks mate!
Good onya!
I'm 38, maybe that makes me old but I don't think I am and I use it. It's not just your age its what state your in, city or small country town etc. When I was in qld no one said gday but here at home, in Adelaide, lots of people say it even immigrants. The more north you go and everyone says it. Asking a young population of an americanised city like Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane your going to get a very narrow view on how "all" Aussies speak.
its pretty much said all over Australia, my family live in Qld, and I have friends all over Australia and its said. It's not common now because we have too many US shows movies on our screens and cinemas, and the younger gens are too easily influenced by them.
Short answer. Yes
Yo ,Was-up are these people for real far far too much American TV i think.
I never heard it until, at the age of 30, I moved to Australia from Queensland where I was born. Now I use it all the time. Queensland is a sort of poor man's USA.
You moved to Australia from Queensland LOL.
I use G'day more than any other word. Young ones are killing the lingo
KOALA - Keep Our Aussie Language Alive
Mate I use G'day and I'm American
@@adi4032 We need all the help we can get. Come on over & help train our young ones before it is too late 😉
I would laugh so hard if I was greeted by good day. Aussie slangs are so funny and fun to me xD
1:10 What an absolute unit
G'day.....like is it a good day already if the day isn't over....so you won't know it's a good day until the day is done like after 5pm!!!!!
Good on ya
Opening with my beautiful mug, good choice
You’re a true Aussie 🇦🇺
@@WelcomeTo yeah me and old mate are the only ones, apparently
i'm yankee but lived in oz 2 1/2 years. at least from an american perspective the whole streotype of "g'day" and "shrimp on the barbie" is a hangover from when PAUL HOGAN was doing ads in the early 80's for tourism australia. both terms were used in the commercial (which was on all the time) and both stuck for better or worse. that was simply because the term "prawn" means nothing to an american. why they chose to use that phrase i have no idea because i was told over and over again when there that it's not called 'shrimp' and no one cooks it on a bbq anyway. i've since learned 'shrimp' and 'prawn' are actually related but separate sub species but as we all know labels are rarely ever 100% accurate.
anyrate american exposure to australian pop culture is extremely limited and was even moreso back then so perhaps that is why the streotypes still exist.
We tend to say it more than we think we do... if your just talking to your mates you probably won’t say gday... I tend to say it more when in passing just do the quick nod of the head smile and say gday lol
“Kangaroos aren’t everywhere” *laughs in western australia*
Generally, I just say Hi when greeting someone.
I'll probably start try to use G'day. I'm from Asia tho.
good on ya
Nah, Yeah, we do.
I’m a 16 year old girl from Australia, and I literally go around and say G’day or how ya goin mate but sometimes I just say Hay ya goin...but like depends. I always get told I speak like a true Aussie ahah
Lucky you - Americans tell me I sound "British" and if I deck them I get arrested. 😶
g'day mate
i'll roll ya
she'll be right
best aussie accent ive found on internet
i like it
1. Men are much more likely to say g’day than women (in the city at least)
2. Children brought up with a father or male role model are therefore much more likely to use it.
3. I don’t use it with family members but will use it with mates and acquaintances
The important thing to note is that "good" is not part of this greeting, no matter how fast it is said. The greeting is "G'day." There is no "oo" sound in it at all.
Yep! I say it all the time but I think it’s more of of the older Aussies or country Aussies not young Aussies. But then again the younger generation have become a bit soft and whimpy.
The truth is... I wanna live there
I always say g'day. It's a reflex pretty much. I think it's far more common than this vid depicts. Makes me sad that younger generations have taken on Americanism's to such a degree.
Melbourne is a broken hellscape.
You are asking the wrong age group
These young whippa snappas are just pissweek
g'day mate
@3:36: OMG!!! Proper shocked....I though kangaroos were everywhere
dw they city folk mate never been to the real outback you cant fucking drive at night without hitting one of the big cunts trust me iv been in no shit like 17 cars that have hit the cunts they are fucking everywhere
The Australian that doesn't say: "G'Day mate" don't is a real Australian.
I certainly do
I have never travelled to aus. I have never met an aussie. But i dont like aussies not saying 'g'day mate' anymore.
I live in country NSW so we use G'day all the time, but when I visit family in Sydney, we never use it... LOL
Sydney should not be considered as being in Australia these people that are born and raised there in the city have no clue what it means to be a true blue Aussie !!
@@aussieguy3689 well said 😀😉
G'Day, the new My Singing Monsters' monster
2:43 Notice the quick little peek😂
"Howz it goin' mate" is my usual.
G'day, I often say G'day but don't often use "mate" I use G'day at the beginning of Emails and online posting comments.
Some comments here about it being connected to Crocodile Dundee and the language in that movie. That movie's less than 40 years old and we've been saying G'day for at least 140 and I hope it never goes away. wassup sounds like American gangster talk.
G'day mates!
I’m an Australian
Omg so much beautiful young people
I remember Rosé when she sad Hi g'day mate 😂
i fell that´s usual from older people, no ? hugs from Brazil :)
They've shown that 'like' is one of the most spoken words even in Australian English.
Most that live in Australia are originally from England and Ireland
It's not a steriotype. Australians say it all the time. I visit often and hear it often. More so outside of major cities, in shops etc, it's also oddly enough used more often if the person is male and percieves you to be a foreighner or stranger. So before they've worked you out who you are they use "G'day", almost like a "I don't mean to be unfriendly but who are you mate" rather than hello to a friend IMO at least? Saying anything else is awkward, they rarely say good morning or good afternoon or even just hello like the UK. I don't mind it at all, it's much better than calling someone just "mate" which makes me see red as it's usualy to correct you or put you in your place particularily if they don't like your Recieved English accent which they percieve to be a bit too posh.
I agree with hearing it less in bigger cities and the newer generations not using it as much, but I'm gen Z (that zed bloke) and I use g'day a lot, in fact more so to those I don't know like at the shops or a coworker.
So I say hello everywhere
I’ve only heard Aussie’s saying G’day when we’re mocking how other countries think we sound or most old people say it.
Not most old people, usually creepy old men
Define "old people"
the actual fuck are you on about mate?
So sweet boys
I've actually never said g'day or g'day mate unless I'm joking and I'm older. None of my friends say it either. It's just a hi or hey.
I once went oversees on a trip with about 150 aussies. We all won the trip and didnt know eachother. But we spent the entire trip calling eachother mate. And saying gday mate. May as well have known the name of every person there coz every single one responds to gday mate as if its like hey name :)
Anyone knows the track (song)?
Being here since 2018 I find it's the older Australians that are more likely to say G'Day.
Gday champ!!
howzgoin, how ya goin mate and sco-in on mate are also acceptable next to gday
I'm Gen X and I say g'day, but it really depends on the context and how well I know the person. I'd say it to an old friend, but not in a formal situation like a job interview, lol!
I interviewed for a living in the Public Service - extra points for saying G'day.
I'm here because of Teacher Malinda
Me too
@Dara Faddy 😁😁😝
✋
G'day mate. Ja hear that shella say yea.na
I always say it
I hear Gday all the time, lol
Why would you not use g'day? I like it, be like not greeting people with, "Awrite man/hen" or just, "Awrite" as aAcot, and we too have our accents and slang slaughtered internationally!
i briefly lived in Melbourne & Sydney and i rarely heard anyone say G'day
Thanks for the interview and the thumbnail cover Josh had a great time man! You're channel is really dope!
Right back at ya! You had some great answers, thanks for giving me your time 😁
@@WelcomeTo Anytime bro!
Tbh g’day is something I say often but more to people like work colleagues not to close friends (it’s more of a formal term from what I’ve seen)
I hv also noticed them saying,'I reckon ' really fast
I reck'n're on to something!
G'day
Some districts are huge on G'day!😊
It looks some much like Perth city.Wondering is all the CBD in Australia looks the same lol
In the country and Riverina towns we still say it it’s the city people that don’t say it
I'd use it once a blue moon. Usually its howyagarnmate
Always say g'day
