Hi everyone! Lauren here 🏴 it’s always fun to compare countries, especially ones that are so close to one another! Obviously there is a lot of cultural crossover but also some differences which are always fun to learn about!🥰
Did I say I love your style? I love your style and omg you look beautiful in white hair 💗
can you bring more people from different countries please?
still fabulous 💕😍
Everyone on the channel is great honestly. Also you missed the perfect opportunity to say cultural cross pollination.
Why leave the welsh out ? XD we literally exist too
Hope everyone loved this video and found it fun and interesting to watch!
It’s mad how we’re all so close to each other, yet also so different the moment you cross our borders.
Keep watching and supporting World Friends and see you guys soon!

Hey an Irish lad here and I just wanted to say the republic of Ireland is not part of the UK. Since I assume a lot of different nationalities might stumble on this video I thought I'd spare the time to sort out this misconception. Not a big deal but really in the grand scheme of things but not a lot of people foreign to Ireland seem to know this. Peace ✌️
It is a big deal. Too many brave people gave their lives to make Ireland independent. 🇮🇪
I was definitely shocked when Lauren talked about British people being late!! Here in Greece, we actually think the opposite. We even call someone who arrives at an appointment just in time, or even earlier, a "British man" or "British woman" as well...
Brit here, and I agree. I would have said most British are fairly punctual, but obviously not as punctual as most Germans seem to be. Anecdotal, I know, but my family and I are invariably 30 minutes early for everything.
That "refusing the first offer" in Ireland is so true! Just yesterday, my brother's girlfriend was going to pay for part of my food because I didn't have enough, and I was like "No it's grand, I'll just order something else" and she was like "no go ahead, get it" so I was like "ah well, if you're sure then, thanks".
Eoin is wonderful, he’s fun and smart - and I love the speed by which he talks, it’s FAST. 😀 Kind of the image I have of Irish people, talking quite fast. A good trio here altogether, I do like these videos.
❤ thanks for the lovely comment
@@eoin6172 you are most welcome 😊
@@eoin6172 Badly dressed. Looks very skinny. 🥴
The fun thing about this is how most of the 'unique' cultural things are basically shared and how we're all way more similar than we are different
This is a fun trio, and it's nice to get some insight into the differences between countries. It would be fun to hear about even more differences like different regions in each country, between big cities and country life. And generational differences, like how kids, teens, adults, and seniors see things uniquely in each country.
I was genuinely waiting for you three to come up in a video. Thank you for such an amazing video.
The more I learn about the Irish, the more I can see their outsized influence on the history of American culture.
@MsMissy : Why are you denying this? It's a well attested fact.
When I was in Ireland, my uncle, apprenticed as an engineer in Germany (but working as a banker) always asked, when there was an agreemernt to meet at a certain time, "Is that Irish time or Europe time?" Meaning do we meet on the dot (Europe), or anywhere from a half hour to maybe two hours after the agreed time (Irish time) Lo, the this uncle was showing me around Kerry I had to translate the waiter's accent for him. He marveled how ell I understood the thickest accents. I told him we had every kind of Irish accent on my Bronx NY block.. Like my mother, my uncle had a very mild Irish accent. This accent among the London relatives easily became an English accent (called Estuary at that time). I was told I had an Atlantic accent, could be Canadian or Anmerican or English in origin. I was was mistaken often enough for English but I think it was because I was staying with cousins and fell into a version of their accent.
You learn something new every day! That was informative, thank you for making and posting it. I love watching the videos from this channel, and I'll be waiting for the next ones. :)
Oh oh, how about your traditional food? I'd love to watch you guys discuss them. X)
That Irish guy looks so Irish, that it's scary.
His mic was so low
@@ivanhendr thats not his mic lol
He is a leprechaun didn’t you realize? 😂.
Typical gingerbread.
@@ivanhendr Eoin, 🥴Very skinny and badly dressed.
Umm idk what part of Ireland he is from but pants is underwear in Ireland and trousers is like just any type of clothing on your bottom half well ofc shorts and jeans are still technically called trousers we would say jeans or shorts but maybe its different in different parts of Ireland
Me, an American, goes to look up what 20 C is in Fahrenheit.......finds out it's about 68.
It's endearing to know what different parts of the world find as hot ToT It's sweet. In my part of the world, 68 would be considered chilly.
Where I live, we'd be wearing jackets if it was only 68F/20C
Ha ha I'm also American and 68 F is very nice. But I'm from a northern Midwest state that gets very cold. We also get very hot, but most people love high 60's through 70° F
@@LJBSullivan I’m from central Texas, where it very rarely goes below 50!!
It becomes incredibly humid in Ireland in the summer, on the odd day when the humidity is low 20°C isn’t too bad but when the humidity’s high (which is most of the time) it can feel quite unbearable. It rarely is that warm here (outside of the summer months) so we aren’t used to it and with recent years reaching 30+°C, 20°C is nothing in comparison
@@Holly-ml3kk In Yorkshire in northern England 20 degrees Celsius is considered warm ... 10 to 1 would be "nippy"...cold would be anything from 0 to -10
It's so interesting to hear Rowena and Eowin's accent. There's great chemistry with you all. Love to see more videos with you guys.
Its spelled Eoin :)
To be fair... Row either softens her accent or she got the faintest of accents. Love me some Aberdeenian or Glaswegian.
I’m from Ireland and the pants thing is not as Eoin described. We, like the UK, say trousers and pants means underwear. In every group of friends there is an odd one that says pants like Americans do instead of trousers. Eoin is that one odd friend 😂
Edit: This is from my experience of living in multiple counties. Maybe my view is influenced by only being in my 20s (GenZ).
That's interesting. Americans will very occasionally say trousers still, but it's rare. Pants took over from trousers sometime in the 1930s for the most part. (I got bored one day and looked at old Sears catalogs... )
I would mostly say trousers but pants are trousers to me too. I've never heard anyone really say pants for underwear.
But that's just me from dublin.
I think it’s because we consume a lot of American tv shoes, films…etc so, some are getting used to that horrible Americanish slang and accent…
@@dubmait im from kildare and here alot of dubliners say pants for boxers etc
@@stinkygremlin267 I'm not saying they don't but I genuinely hear very few ppl ever use the word pants for underwear
Irish lad needs to speak up and tell the other 2 that Ireland is not South Ireland nor is it British, it left the UK 100 years ago after a little thing called a war of independence, the two girls seemed to give the impression that Ireland was still an integral country within the UK.
Yes Ireland is not British but Northern Ireland is still part of the uk. It even says in the full uk name “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. There is a difference between the uk and britain 😊
@Sixgun Symphony He's from Cork
@Sixgun Symphony He's from the Kingdom aka Munster! Gammy folks with a weird accent and questionable personal hygiene... though gas nuff
He just hasn't been miked up properly.
Thank you!
In Sweden, generally, if you have an appointment or even if you go visiting a friend and agree on a time, you arrive at that time, not early and not late. If you get to a friend's house for dinner 5 minutes early you stand in their garden or out on the street for 5 minutes before you knock on the their door.
That made it very frustrating for me when I first moved to Australia... where if you call for a contractor they would say "Alright I'll see you on Monday" which could be any time on Monday from early morning to late afternoon. Or at work if you have a team meeting at 10am, as the Swede I would be in the conference room at 10am exactly but then team mates would start dropping in like at ten past, quarter past, even half past sometimes. *gaah*
For the record Ireland is not in the UK nor part of British culture.
The way they were talking makes me think the English and Scottish girls dont realise Ireland is not part of the UK. 🤦♂️ Actually it wasn't until secondary school that I learnt from a friend that only Northern Ireland was part of the UK. Sadly we weren't taught about Irish history.
@@htakahashi And im assuming your from England? Im sure they learn some Irish history in Scotland or maybe even Wales, but I have friends from England and not one new an absolute thing about the history of Ireland and its very obvious why to Irish people especially but it is sad.
The Republic of Ireland is in the British Isles and was a part of the UK until 1937 so Irish culture and traditions are greatly shaped by the British!
@@aheat3036 Im pretty sure the two biggest parts of Irish culture i.e. music and sports were not shaped by British culture...
@@adammacdomhnail2014 Irish love their victim complex.
In North East England we say Bairn for child too. Also totally relate to running late, most people I know are pretty relaxed about it for socialising and doctors but anything else and definitely not.
In Sweden too :) But kid still means baby deer here, while deer still means animal...
In Denmark we say Barn for a child. Funny how words in different languages are so similar!
I remember it was February in Glasgow, shivering cold, patches of snow here and there, albeit a sunny day and ppl were sunbathing w/ minimal clothes on in the parks..
They're all so polite 🌼
What do you expect, they on youtube and trying to promote their job. It’s not like these people you see in the video are the representation of a whole nation
@@josh35292 that makes sense
In Scotland we're terrible at preserving our historical buildings or historical sites. We're starting to get better as far as historical sites are concerned, but as far as buildings go, you'll be very lucky to see anything pre 1800's. I realise to many, a building dating from 1800 seems old, but for a place like Scotland, that's barely a scratch into our timeline.
All our old buildings are ruins sadly, and many of our historical sites are housing estates.
Its good to look after historical buildings but remember in the past land owners would put a tax on things like roofs so people removed them to save money. ai remember councils putting extra tax on double glazing, that put people off insulating homes.
I would retitle this "The Reason Why Irish Never Understand British People" only because if you're saying UK you're including Northern Ireland in this as well.
makes no sense.
@@ouroboros5474 Britain (Great Britain-GB) is the countries England, Scotland, Wales.
Ireland is the countries Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland. United Kingdom (UK) is the countries England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland. British Isles is the countries England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland. So the title make sense if the Irish man is from Republic of Ireland (Not in the UK,) Doesn't make sense if the Irish man is from Northern Ireland (In the UK.)
@@zebedeemadness2672Im not a native-English speaker. If a man is from Northern Ireland,can he still be called an Irish man? Or should he be called a Northern Irish man?
@@JY-um4su I think it depends on whether they are loyalist or republican
@@JY-um4su You can choose to identify if youre Irish or British. Look up the Good Friday Agreement.
Canadians go outside in shorts sometimes at 5°C
No, in Ireland pants is underwear maybe young people are influenced by American tv too much these days but it was always underwear, Also Eoin should point out that Ireland(where he is from) is not a part of the UK for the people that dont know much about it.
Yeah I agree he seems to constantly let the other two infer that Ireland is in the U.K. it's bizarre. They seem to not be aware that it is a totally different country and he seems to just let it slide.
@@GemsKok So this lad is a traitor to Ireland.
@@JY-um4su no of course he's not don't be so dramatic.
In Ireland pants are underwear for sure, pants for boys, underpants for men. The outside garment is trousers.
@Sixgun Symphony He is from Cork.
“Take the pi*s out of them” had my laughing, definitely a thing Irish people would say, (coming from a very Irish person)
They should have had a Welsh person aswell.
As Lauren said in another thread, it's "very difficult to locate a Welsh person living in Seoul"
I'm in love with Lauren's personality
Where's Wales...🙁
I've never herd anyone call underwear pants but In America old people call Underwear "Shorts" no idea why and its super confusing lol I think Americans call them Pants because in Spanish its Pantalones and in French its Pantalon so it makes sense that's their called pants in America, trousers were formal wear but I don't think in my lifetime that I've heard anyone call them trousers in America.
It’s hilarious when I go back home now, when the sun is out my aunts will be sunbathing in the yard whilst I’m standing there shivering in my cardigan 😹 it’s amazing how quickly you adapt. I do prefer the weather on the isle compared to the 115’F in the southwestern states. It’s too hot and you can’t really do anything outside. Especially at night when it’s still over 100’F and your just laid up in bed miserable 😿
"keep the change" is a completely foreign sentance in Scotland.
I'm from England, and I don't get the whole being late thing. I've always been early for any doctors appointments and I've never had to wait really that long. Idk it could just be cultural differences between areas
I agree. English people are stereotypically on time. I always got in big trouble at school if I was ever 2 mins late whereas in many countries in Europe kids amble in 10 mins late and the teacher doesn't care.
Very interesting To hear this I’m an American 🇺🇸 with Irish grandmother English grandfather and my dad was Scottish and English on the other side of the family
This was really interesting😊
We get a lot of Sun here in Texas. I couldn’t live somewhere that doesn’t get much sunshine.
Baby in Ireland is babby or leanbh. We almost certainly do tip at dinner, and sometimes for other meals. When you refuse an offer the person offering will offer again. Don’t say no a second time. Punctuality is important in work and fairly relaxed outside. People in Ireland are very resistant to the cold, like the Scots and English (and probably the Welsh, Scandinavians I would imagine).
I agree with you about the ability of English,Irish,Scottish and Welsh to weather the cold ... I'm from Yorkshire and we refuse to put the heating on before November lol
I'm from Ireland and we definitely do say 'trousers'. However, it is true that if someone says 'pants', we also think of trousers, not underwear. Underwear is underpants because you were them UNDER pants, not because they _are_ pants.
It's generally pants on the western half of the country and trousers on the eastern half of the country.
I'm from the West and always call them pants. We call underwear jox or underwear.
@IRISHATLANTIC Yeah, I'm on the east coast, and haven't spent enough time in the west to notice the difference. Even so, if someone says "put on your pants" to me, I'll think of trousers, not underwear.
Don't say "South Ireland" or "Southern Ireland" to refer to the country of Ireland. Northern Ireland is the name given to the UK controlled north of the island of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland, or simply Ireland, is the country that controls the rest of the land. I understand how it might be confusing to outsiders, but Eoin here should've spoken up about it when Rowena said "South Ireland". Doesn't hurt to educate.
I'm English and even I cringe when someone says Southern. ROI is the vast majority of the island of Ireland. Should just be Northern Ireland and simply Ireland.
Southern Ireland I think gives off a sense of equality when Ireland is a nation state and NI is merely a part of the UK.
@@hsdsaunders I like your profile picture. You have good taste.
Turning up late for an apt. in England is totally untrue from my experience. I’m over 70 and no-one I know turns up late. Maybe it’s a generational thing?
My mind can’t comprehend how 15 can be a sunny day for UK people west shorts and shirts when for me 15 degrees is a chilly weather and I always put a sweater on when it’s like that since the average temperature here in Mexico is 30 degrees
haha funny in Argentina we queue for everything as well train, bus, etc.
"We don't get the sun a lot" said no southeast asians ever 🤣
In my place, when the sun is out, laundry is out, and people be hiding indoor or find the nearest shadow there is 😂
I would like to experience 16C and sunny😂
Frr, I live in Italy (south) and here we once reached 45°! We have 19° in early Spring/Autumn
Always interesting
One thing always amused me about brits on vacations in freakishly hot places. Usually they have a skin type so white you can't look at them without protection (sunglasses), apparently they never heard about sunscreen but for some reason they think it's okay to fry in direct sunshine for 12+ hours. Skin cancer rates in the UK should be off the charts but at least you can identify them from 200m away: 1st day looking at them directly will burn off your retina, day 2 till end of vacation they'll be glowing red like a boiled lobster.
Lol most Brits are pale but some can tan really well my brother being an example. He just tans, very rarely ever burns. I burn but only in certain areas.
I wish these videos made it more clear that Scotland and England are part of the UK, but Ireland is independent. It's a very common mistake and it'd be so easy to make that a little clearer
Did you not ready the title lol
Japan and the UK love queuing
Ireland and indonesia are totally same for tipping...we dont tip too often
I'm never late unless its unavoidable and not my fault. Always arrive 5 minutes early.
Interesting information 😁
I think people in the UK should go to Indonesia after COVID is over. You will love it here. Just bring a gallon of sunscreen because you will see sun everyday even in the rainy season.
I’m Irish and I call underwear pants?😂
At, 0:27, there is a conspicuous grammatical mistake. The question in the video reads 'What's the biggest difference between England, Scorland, and Ireland?' even though it should be 'AMONG(ST) England, Scotland, and Ireland inasmuch as 'between' refers to two things/people whereas 'among(st)' refers to more than two things/people.
I enjoyed the video but you left out Wales and Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands as well as The Isle of Man. Include them too
16 degree is summer, holly cow that degree is considered as very cold in my country...
The average temperature here is around 30 degree
Queuing for the bus boggles my mind
Ireland does have another common word for "baby", it's "babby".
People want what they don’t have!
All the Northern Europeans like UK, Ireland, Scandinavians are craving for the Sun when here in Hellas🇬🇷 I’m like Nooo… enough with the Sun and the heat!😂
Can we exchange please?😂
I love my country but i cannot cope with our weather…
We have more that 300 days of pure sunshine here and it’s always hot! I mean it’s the end of September, we have October tomorrow and we still have 25-28°C every day…
I’m tired of this Hellenic Mediterranean weather🇬🇷
I'm English and I would never tire of your weather, I spent most of lockdown sunbathing.
@@lolahunnny I don’t know, I’m sick and tired of this weather! I cannot stand Sun and warmth all the year around…
Summer here starts from early March we have 20-25 degrees and the Sun is literally always there… maybe 2-3 cloudy days each month and roasting the rest of it… it’s like Hell!
Each summer I’m travelling to Norway, Sweden, Scotland even Iceland!
I hate summer!
I would gladly exchange our weather with yours!🥲
The guy looks like a ginger Loki/Tom Hiddleston haha
Cool!
Here in Sudan where we were colonized by the Brits for decade, British people are always associated with punctuality. It's a surprise for me that they actually don't.
As someone from the UK, I have to disagree with Lauren(?), being late is never considered acceptable. Maybe, because she is still young she hasn't learnt that yet.
@@rikmoran3963 Second that.Millennials and Gen Z have no manners ,etiquettes.
My country being 30 degrees on normal days be like: "This is fine."
As a Spanish speaker, I feel that Eoin, the Irish boy, speaks faster than the other girls and it's harder for me to understand him. I don't know if it's just because of the person or if it has to do with the accent of his country.
Lmao im irish and actualy felt like he was talking really slow
I'm Irish and my friends from the island of Britain seem to think I talk fast. I think they talk quiet slow.
He really does have the look of a typical Irish man lol.
More the American stereotype of what an Irish person looks like. It’s not that common here. I have one friend who is red head the rest are blonde/brunettes.
He's like the irish tom hiddleston
What they're saying about the weather is true, but not for me personally. To me, 15 degrees is already too hot. Even 10 is warm to me. I won't put on a jacket unless it's below 5 degrees. I'm even fine with 0 or -1 if there's no wind, and I mean in a t-shirt. I'll put my jacket on in those temperatures if I'm going somewhere far or if there's any wind at all. But most of the time I end up sweating and taking my jacket off anyway.
I'm assuming the tipping thing is cuz your workers are paid a living wage.
all of them: "when it's 20° ppl would go out with summer clothing, it's hot etc"
here in italy with 15°/20°: * it's literally cold winter and go out with jumpers and coats and what more *
tbh.... I'd put on me polos at 15ish... 20 is high time at Costa del Dun Laoghaire and next day loads of lobsters popping up at work
In the US, it's the same. "Trousers" is synonymous with "Slacks". You would never refer to jeans as trousers.
True. We also say trouser socks for the fancier kind of socks you wear with slacks
Running late, well Brits you are good at that. Now I know why brexit took you 4 years to get done 🤣 as it is about temputere, when I've been in North Norway, and it was 0-5 C I could have walked outside with T-shirt and I felt warm, because low humid.
Good for you
I seriously think that Polish and Irish people are some kind of lost cousin....they should be very different but they seem so alike and obviously there are a lot of Poles in Ireland now
Similar history
@@SimGirl00 well true...first of all we both were trying to keep up to the pagan root soo much, then we're forcibly Christianised and then became more Saint than the people cause religion was the unity - strength. And always had to look over our shoulder and love potatoes ;)

I went to Uni in England. The duration was 4 yeas.

Where's Wales?
A valid question!
Why would Wales be in this?
@@GemsKok the United Kingdom's nations are: England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. So they are missing out that one
@UCC39PadiSw7kOSIwNCQJ3Qw North Ireland and Ireland are separate by Political reasons, but culturally they make that Ireland.
@@carlosdoriaespitia no Ireland is not in the United Kingdom. It's a totally different country. You mean Northern Ireland but there is no one in this video from Northern Ireland. So if there was someone from Wales in this it would still not be the UK as there is someone from a different country there and nobody from Northern Ireland.
I always thought Nialler understood the boiis, isn't it?
Ahh, he left out having the craic for Irish people. Taking the piss is basically it, so I suppose he mentioned it in a different way.
After today. For me Ireland and England came closer. Check stats. I watched the Queen been laid to rest. I am 100% Irish and I will miss this lady. And I know, even don't they wont say she is already sorely missed.
Wow I did not kow about the ´late` thing in the UK
Interesting the accent of you all sound me like RP, I'm not a native English speaker maybe for that I have this impression. But I watch a lot of British and series with "highlands" theme and Scottish English sounds pretty much different from Rowena. Do you guys tend to speak with RP pronunciation in general??
I think she has probably leveled out the most Scottish features of her accent in order to be understood overseas, but it is definitely still there. It is not really RP, it’s quite different. Scots in Scotland have this skill because they are used to having to soften their accents for visitors, but they usually will say it with a more neutral accent when you ask them to repeat, not as a habit or among themselves.
I think the 'personal abuse' aspect of life in all the islands of Britain and Ireland is similar. It is a mark of acceptance! On the other hand the actual genuine compliments thing can be a bit uncomfortable.
And I don't agree with the late thing. Doctors appointments and trains are not on the personal level where you are meting someone.
As an American seperated from ireland by 3 generations. I still look like his meaner stupider older brother. And i still burn in the slightest amount of sun.
biggest difference is that ireland is not part of the UK but an entirely different country... was waiting for that at the beginning of the video :( nonetheless a fun video
Did you not read the title
I would like to have more videos related to other European languages than just English. I understand that English is an international language, but I personally liked the videos related to spanish
