      Lol about the queen ! ahahah
      (I'm French personnaly) But I can figure out that it's just because people in the Netherlands are able to differenciate what could be called a British commonwealth accent (as taken globally) from the American accents but not really a British standard accent from a NZ or Australian accent ?
      And I guess that "Some Stuck Up Nerf Herder Some Stuck Up Nerf Herder" talked about the countries rather than the accents ?

  • @xmsrekless1218
    @xmsrekless1218 Před 5 lety +653

    HOW TO SPEAK NZ:
    1) Pronounce the 'ER' sounds at the end of words as 'AH'. Because we're lazy af.
    2) Never pronounce the 'R', like... ever.
    3) Add 'as' at the end of things as a SPOKEN exclamation point... haha.
    Eg: Fast as. Slow as. Cool as. Dope as.
    5) Add 'aye' at the end of things to have someone agree or disagree with you.
    Eg: That's cool as, aye? This smells good as, aye? This song is pretty dope, aye?
    6) Add 'PRETTY' to the beginning of things, also as a spoken exclamation mark, like 'AS'. Not sure why this is, but it's a thing.
    Eg: This is pretty cool. This pie is pretty nice. That house is pretty flash (flash means really fancy looking).
    7) Use a lot of slang.
    EG 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
    NZ1: Yeeyur. This pie is nice as.
    NZ2: Gizz a taste. *bites pie* Oh yeah, hard. My pie is pretty munted.
    NZ1: Unluggyyyyyy.
    NZ2: Swapsies bro?
    NZ1: Yeah, nah. Gap it, g.
    NZ2: Aw guuuuhmon.
    We have our own language but we promise it's English 😂😂😂.

      Hahaha but it isnt an accent to you. We have a lot of accents in America as well. 50 states means 50 accents, at least. Everything the American girl said could be pronounced many different ways in America. Also, different states will have different accents depending on where in that one state they are from. On top of THAT, they will call things different names as well. Like in the midwest (which isnt even in the middle or west of the U.S.), they call it "pop", but in many other parts of U.S., they call ot "soda" -- and some parts of the south call it "coke" no matter what it is. Like, they call Sprite a "Coke".
      50 states is basically the amount of countries in Europe, so it gets pretty varied. That's why you can pass for American so easily, like Christian Bale, but we can't pass for the U.K. or other areas that were occupied by them.
      I honestly find it humbling and fascinating

    Our English accent isn’t lazy, it’s naturally merged with the Te Reo Māori language, especially with the vowels. In Māori the vowel sounds never change, our ‘i’s sound like ‘e’s and ‘a’ sounds like ‘ahh’. It’s typical with any language around the globe that’s what makes our accents so unique.

    @nzshoreboy Před 5 lety +159

    I’m a Kiwi who has been living in Melbourne for over a decade now. I was not able to hear the NZ accent until I moved overseas. I would say that the key to the NZ accent is to mostly skip the vowels unless the vowel is the first letter. When the word has 2 or more syllables and then you just skip the final syllable and any word ending in er has an ah sound. So if you say fish, it becomes fsh. Every becomes evry, Chips becomes chps, Caramel becomes Caraml, Milk becomes Mlk, scientifically becomes scientificlly, etc. Obviously there are exceptions but this is how I explain the Kiwi accent to people who are not familiar with the it and they tell me, it makes sense when explained this way.

    • @nzshoreboy
      @nzshoreboy Před 5 lety +4

      H Narouei I have heard people say that and I can see how that argument can be made but I think a better description is the vowels are so short that they are basically skipped a lot of the time and if they are pronounced then the shortened vowels that NZ English has end up with a different sound than what it has with other English speaking nations. I get what you are saying though.

      Yeah it's quite strange isn't it. As a Kiwi accented speaker I obviously can't here it. But when I hear other accents it sounds like the reverse is happening. So when an American says "Ten", I hear "Tin" even though I know what they're saying in the context

      A couple of examples, the majority of my family are from Birmingham but I worked with two people from the Black Country (just north west of Birmingham) and when they spoke with each other the accent and dialect was so broad I didn't have a clue as to what they were saying.
      The same when I was working in Peterlee in the North East of England, I had adjusted to the North Yorkshire accent and the Newcastle accent, but there were a load of guys from small (former) mining towns in this business and they seemed to have a language that would barely pass for modern English.

    Rosie try saying "six hundred and sixty six" to Andrea. I am Australian and to me the NZ accent is all in the vowels of the words. To me, the NZ accent is a little like Kiwis swallow the vowel sound, and have a lot of "urk" sound in some of the vowels. Also both of you (Andrea and Rosie) have spent a lot of time in Europe and learning French has smoothed out both of your accents when you are talking standard English.

    I lived in NZ for more than a year. What I noticed is that there are different accents within New Zealand. A kiwi from Auckland would speak totally different compared to one from, say, Blenheim. But the most interesting thing is their "e". It turns into an "ee". "Guest" becomes "gueest", bed "beed", 'pen' "peen" and so on. "Deck" is the funniest example, but even the numbers are confusing at first. 7 is "seeven" and 6,10 sounds like 16. English is not fonetically consistent so you can have as many accents as you want.

  • @heathilea
    @heathilea Před 5 lety +10

    I think us kiwis tend to almost swallow/try not to open our mouths for a lot of sounds eg New Zilind, Mwilk. The vowels could have something to do with the influence of Māori in NZ English eg Ah eh eee o euu instead of Aye E I Oh You. I'm currently doing an English language teaching course and my lecturer thinks that due to a lot of people immigrating from the west country and other parts of the UK that have strong accents is why American accents tend to pronounce Rs really strongly whereas in NZ we had a bit more of a mix. I notice it a lot now because my dad is from Bristol and my Mum is from the Waikato/Taranaki and sometimes the accent pops up on really random words. I've lived in Auckland my entire life and when I'm travelling I have aussies come up to me thinking I'm from Melbourne 😂 I'm sure I have some notes on the linguistics of the NZ accent from a course I did in my degree a few years back. I'll see if I can find them.

  • @saltynoodle4091
    @saltynoodle4091 Před 5 lety +15

    There is a linguist history behind the languages. American English evolved from Irish, British, Scottish, Jewish, Italian and English people traveling together in boats. New York accents are generally more Italian and Jewish based whilst most of america is more Irish orientated. The exaggerated "R" and dropping of the "T" is common in Irish accent.
    New Zealand English is heavily influenced by English, Scottish and Maori vowels. Alot of the New Zealand accent can be linked back to Scottish roots. The English "I" originated from the Scottish "I". The lost of ability to pronounce final consonants can also be originated from Maori. Where "AO" replaces "AL" and "EO" replaces "IL" In words like milk.
    We don't realize it but we are constantly influenced by people around us. Language adopt sounds from people around them naturally without even trying.

    Pretty much every word you have covered in this video is pronounced multiple ways in the United States. I know people who pronounce each of these words exactly the way the New Zealander is pronouncing them. I was particularly troubled by the word “caramel,“ which is pronounced as the New Zealand girl sad in most of the United States. Go look up the old commercials for the chocolate and caramel candy called Rolo. The theme song says “You Roll a Rolo to your pal, it’s chocolate covered caramel,” and they pronounce it exactly the way the New Zealand girl said it.

    We can answer just about anything with an inaudible sound and other kiwis understand, EG ‘nnNn” roughly translates to “I dunno” 😂

I didn't realise the difference in the accents until after living a few years in Oz, then I could appreciate it. (I saw some graffitti on a wall in Sydney, it said "Auckland sux...Sydney seven"). It is hard for British people to differentiate the accents of Australia and New Zealand, but I can do it straight away. As a Canadian and American can tell their accents apart.
