American English vs British English: 50 differences! How many did you know? Can you think of any others? Our American friends have different names for things than us in England. If you are learning English as a 2nd language it can get confusing. If you want to learn the British accent it's useful to know some of these differences.

This man is wearing a...
Woman: vest
Man: waistcoat
Me: hat.
I'd say Fedora
I said the same thing😂
I thought the same😂
SAME💀
Bullet proof vest but not so cool
us: vacationists
uk: holidaymaker
me: tourists?
The Tea that’s exactly what I was thinking
I was thinking that 😂
exactly lmao
The Tea OMG IM FROM THE UK AS WELL AND I WAS SO CONFUSED. It’s TOURISTS 😂😂
Same
Him: what do you call this?
Her: Drapes!
me an American: curtains! Wait what?
I also call it curtains I have never heard drapes
Same, same thing with hoagie.
Drapes are part of a curtain
Lol
Yeah, I honestly thought it was the other way around
This video is basically:
US: [word]
UK: hah [synonym]
Me: I use both...?
Even chunder?
Its all either both or you've never heard of any of the words before and call them something else
@@clacker5799 yeah, my English comes from movies and books I've read (or listen so they are mixed up,but being that at school we learned mostly uk english and probably because I've read and watched in Uk english too, movies and books so 80% USA words and 19% Uk ones,and less then one percent from other english speaking places.
@Mr. Egg Man After the colony America began to use many replacements for words but mostly the British use synonyms like waistcoat it is a vest
I live in England and we use none of the American words
3:20 “What’s this?”
Girl: couch
Boy: Sette
Me: sofa
*intense wheeze*
@CaPtIn KeNwAy so what if he is?
But sofa is incorrect. A couch has feet it stand on so there is space where something can roll under while a sofa is directly on the floor, there is no space between floor and sofa. Also sofas usually do not have arm rests, couches do.
I was thinking sofa as well 😂
Isn’t it
UK: jabs
US: shots
Me: *vaccinated*
??? I was thinking the same
??? Anti-shot and anti-jabs...
jags to me
I say injection lol
??? Injections
I’m American and I’ve always said curtains, I’ve never heard the word drapes until now lol
Same
My mom (Canadian; British parents) called them drapes. I'm suspicious that one may actually be backward...
@@StudeSteve62 it definitely isn't
@@StudeSteve62 Never heard of drapes, I'm British. I call it curtains.
yeah honestly I thought drapes aw as european thing
Me, german speaking dude learning english for 8 years and realizing that I speak a fkin weird mixture of these dialects.
Ah...Sie sprechen kanadisch dann? 😁
Sorry if that's a word salad, I last took German in 1982...😜
Don't worry, it's literally the same thing in different fonts
Same as us Australians and Kiwis.
Same here, I am Indian and I have a mix of US, UK and pirate accent.
*American: Couch
*British: Settee
*Rest of the world : SOFA
im a brit and I say sofa idk what he's on about
A small two cushion couch in America is typically called a loveseat especially if it comes as apart of a living room set with a larger couch/sofa, coffee table and end tables or any combo thereof
@@Idk-ve8zh I think he's proper posh so he says all kinds of thing weird. I only hear posh people saying BAG-uette, round my area we say BUH-guette.
I live in England and I have never called a sofa a settee
I'm English and say sofa sooo...
US: Couch
UK: Setee
Me: Sofa
I’m from the UK btw
I also live in the UK and I call it sofa lol .
I’m from the uk and I say sofa. I think that setee is more of a slang way of saying it
I say sofa I’m from uk cuz idk how to spell the uk sofa
I say couch either way but I'm from the uk
I'm from England and I say setee, sofa and couch....?😂
2:00
Him: HolidayMakers
Every normal Uk person: pretty sure they are called *Tourists?!*
I have heard vacationers before but tourists is the main denomination of what we call them in America. I was so confused
same here in america hhh
Every American too
Just bc u go on holiday doesn’t mean ur a tourist
Tourist is different, tourist, is people that are going on a tour and sightseeing, holiday maker is when people are on holiday
USA: Barf
Him: “We say Chunder”
Every UK person: No we don’t…. We say throwing up or Vomiting
Nope - Chunder is defo an Aussie/Kiwi thing from the 70's / 80's - I have not heard it in a long while (but then I have grown up and dont do that stuff any more)
That wonderful band 'Men at Work' used it ...
And he said:
I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Every UK person: Vomiting, throwing up AND PUKING
USA is like: puke, vomiting or throwing up-
I’ve never heard an English person say vomiting, unless they already speak American English. We say being sick or throwing up
Exactly I've never heard the word chunder in my life
3:21
US: Couch
UK: Settie
Me: *SOFA*
Me too
Same
Well I’m weird then, I say settee.
It's a setee
Me too
3:58
US: Barf
UK: Chunder
Me: Vomit
puke :D
I’m from uk I say sick
Puke
Haha
Sick
Here in Indonesia, we learn British English from school (our schools heavily uses Oxford or Cambridge-issued English textbook), but we also learn American English from Hollywood and American pop culture. So yeah, in the end we just mix up everything lol
I'm Indonesian but I more Similar American Accent then British Accent
Exactly dude..😌😁
I'm Indo and I speak Aussie english Lol
So it's like an Australian english? Lol
Yeah same in India.
USA; Roll Call
UK: Taking the register
Me: Taking attendance
exactly!
Me: Marking attendance or register.
Me: whatever the fuck the person actually doing it calls it
American: shots
Brit: jabs
Me: *V A C C I N E*
Me (UK): She's getting a vaccination
shots XDDD
yeah I was expecting her to say like a vaccine or a flu shot
Upon further analyzation of American and British slang, both words don't make sense. We're need to come up with something other than "jab" or "shot".
Innoculation? Injection?
Mr Mickey 19 me: Autism
School with boys and girls what would you call that....
Me: A normal school
Joshua omg 😂
Joshua: that shouldn’t of made me laugh but it did.
@@blazeh actually, it's a nuke testing site.
It isnt normal in the UK we have all boy schools and all girl schools and both girl and boys schools are very uncommon
@@RuairiRooney In my area of the uk (North) its mainly just boys + girls schools.
I might show up a bit late, but Steuern 1:46 (in that case) is German and means taxes
6:28 me after my freinds tell me a joke and I finally get it 4 hours later..
Kids in college
British guy: Can you pass me a rubber?
American guy: IM GETTING SEXUALLY HARASSED
Hahaha
LoUl
In one of my classes in college a dude from Hong Kong asked for a rubber when we were doing math 😂😂 (he didn’t understand what it meant to us and then didn’t know what a condom was when we told him what it meant 😂)
LOL
Ahahaha that’s funny 👍🇬🇧
A school with boys and girls
American: coed
British: mixed
Actually woke countries: school
me: public school-
I call it school
I've never heard the term mixed school in UK
I said public school-
dejlislive who calls it a coed school in America?, we call it school?...
@@user-sp5ck4fs1n Did you watch the video?
I am British and I have literally never heard the word "chunder" in my entire life.
Also, "hoagie" is New Jersey specific.
They're "subs" here (Canada; major US chain called Subway so same there), or occasionally the term "hero" gets used...
Yeah. Born and raised in western U.S., I've always called them sub sandwiches
Chundering is alcohol induced vomiting, not too commonly used ig
Ikr
i’m from manchester and literally every used the word chunder or chundering
as an american, i would like to ask who the hell calls curtains drapes?
What is this?
Her: paper towel
Him: kitchen roll
Me: toilet paper
Randolp Ascano Haha that’s exactly what I said 😂
me: tissue
If u look at the pic the kitchen roll is long, toilet roll is half a kitchen roll smh
Bog Roll...
me: napkins
i guess condoms are also used to erase mistakes too
LMFAOOOO
They avoid mistakes, but don't erase them.
The More You Know Unfortunately :(
@@Etelvinicius exactly
sofihahaha hah to bad my dad didnt erase this mistake
"We say preschool or *playgroup*"
**Peppa Pig flashbacks**
Lol
@Vĩnh Thái và những người bạn same
Yassss.
I call it a nersary
@@Starrynightcore123 *nursery
Whats funny is I'm actually from britain but because I watch a lot of American tv shows and films I normally use american's way of saying things. Lol
Shame.
I don't really mind
You shouldn't. Keep the real english from England. Elsewhere they are dialects.
@@crazyfastcar1314 u should move to America.
I don't want to live in America but I would go on holiday to America
I'm british. I've never said chunder in my life. I've only ever said "vomit" and "throw-up"
Same here.
I just say "I have been Sick"
Same
Me to
Same here!
Her: Checking Account
Him: Current Account
Me: *BANK ACCOUNT*
HeyItsJoeyF there are different types of Bank Accounts
I would say credit card
Australian andI'd say Savings account even though its the silliest name
UK here and bank account 🤦♀️🤦♀️
same im new england usa
I have never heard anyone say “settee”
In North East England, we generally say settee
Sofa
Really its all i hear with British people i say couch or sofa lol
I thought settees were like short, bench - like couches with no back or arms.
Only old people
As a Malaysian, I can relate this video with Malay🇲🇾-Indonesian🇮🇩 languages. Same words but different meaning.
apparently i was taught half of british english and american english
에리스elise same here, I’m confused
@@andrealua854 it's very dependant on the region. I've noticed a lot of the times I either use what they say interchangeably, sometimes agreeing with him, sometimes agreeing with her, or sometimes using something else entirely. I'm sure it just depends on where you grew up. I'm assuming this applies to most countries.
Me too
same.i get overwhelmed🤯
에리스elise Congratulations then you’ve learnt Australian English. Where we understand both American and English
Weird US Girl: "A hoagie!"
UK: "A baguette!"
Every other US citizen: "A footlong? Sub sandwich?"
Me: French bread
Rainger Spills Too Much Tea in the area in which I live, we say hoagie as well. Sub sounds so foreign to me.
Hoagies are different from subs. Subs are long and flat, whereas hoagies are short and more round
Yeah tf is a hoagie?😂
@@josephzinke2998 a hoagie is a Philly thing
I have never heard someone say "settee". I call it a sofa. I'm from the Uk to.
this word was traditionally an indication of class. ''settee'' is working class, like calling your evening meal 'tea'.
Me too i use it all the time
Settee is used up north mostly
I’m American and I’ve never heard of a “hoagie” and I’ve never called curtains “drapes”
Hoagie is a Pennsylvania thing.
@@rendan1351 that’s probably why I’ve never heard of it, I live in California
When they say “we say” but you’re sitting there like: “literally no one I know has ever said that”
She: Hoagie
He: Baguette
Me: S U B W A Y.
Rahul Raj same
Sammeeee
or sub
its a submarine sandwich ..because of its shape Sub for short
@@qwertytypewriter2013 In the South they call them SangWitch.sammee is a good one too .ive heard grinder hoagie Sub.foot long..Hero
Timestamps for all the words that we use in Canada that are the same as or similar to the UK
0:46 (we only say preschool, not playgroup. We also use kindergarten)
1:43 (both, the image could imply either one)
2:19 (we say stag, not stag do, but it's close enough)
2:42 (I attribute both my knowledge of this island's existence and the pronunciation of its name to Ed Sheeran's song Tenerife Sea, so it's probably not a Canadian thing, just a thing that I do)
2:55
4:17
4:47
4:57 (we use both drug store and pharmacy. I say pharmacy more often. The word "chemist" refers to a scientist who practices chemistry)
5:13 (the bread itself is called a baguette, and the sandwich is called a sub or a submarine sandwich, though sometimes the sandwich is called a baguette)
5:32 (another one where both are used)
6:15 (we say postal code, which is closer to the UK postcode, but sometimes you'll see zip code)
6:21 (exclamation point sounds more formal to me)
7:40
I CAN NOT believe you didn't do the crisps/chips thing. I think it's the only one that actually gets me mad😂
why tho it's just a different word for the same thing
@@LightLock this video is literally a different word for the same thing 🤦
@@kevindebruyneneedstotalk9747 yeah ik. I just wanna know why it makes them mad
French fries/chips/crisps
@@talalon4098 I wonder what French people call it
US: Couch
UK: Setee
Me that is Korean but can speak English: *Sofa.*
English say sofa as well don’t know why he said setee
I was expecting him to say sofa. I actually never heard someone saying setee.
Setee is like up north like Blackpool, I say sofa or couch depending on what side of the family I’m with (couch for Irish side, English is sofa)
Im german its sofa too
I say Setee
This American girl is weird 😂
No one says drapes. It’s curtains
M&GDubstep M&G Mm.....
I say both so... 🤷🏽♀️
I agree I know some people who say drapes but thats uncommon
Thankyou
Ikr
That was fascinating, and really quite useful! Thank you!.🙂👍
love the chocolate answer lol 🤣😂🤣😂 very funny and very informative !!!!!
America: Why would you say Moscow?
UK: *Get out*
Soraia Muiambo I mean you wouldn’t pronounce COW as COE
@@carcinization Not in the UK, where it's *nutt* (as in "butt") -ella (whatever the manufacturers might wish!)

I would say lady crossing the road
Matthew Murnin 😂😂
Very useful ! Thanks .
As a Canadian I think it's fascinating how we not only use a mix of words from British and American English (as well as our own slang in some cases), but I've noticed a few things where I think "Those two words mean different things to me". For example in this video the American called it a bus and he called it a coach. Bus is a general term, but a coach bus is the kind with the comfy seats you would ride on for a longer trip. Another example, the American said college and he said University. Colleges and universities are completely different things in Canada. Colleges offer two year programs and grant diplomas, and universities offer four year programs and grant degrees. In another video, the American said test and he said exam. For me, a test is what you write during class time throughout the term. An exam is specifically scheduled outside of class time and written in the middle of and at the end of the term.
I’m british and I’ve never ever heard anyone say “Chunder”. Usually we say “Being sick” or vomiting :/
orbit💜
cheers same other descriptions are vulgar slang heave puke barf
I'm British too!!
Exactly
step aside..You Are Asian..
Who else in america calls curtains, curtains because i do.
SoundMaster I was taught that curtains were lighter material and drapes were heavier. Basically, curtains diffuse light and drapes block it out completely.
@@wjspade wow you must be fun at parties.
SoundMaster what did he do wrong??
@@neonguts_ he has bin annoying me in my other comments on other videos like he is following me XD.
SoundMaster What other videos? I don’t recall ever having replied to you before this.
I would’ve recognized your Soundwave avatar; I’m a huge Transformers fan.
I'm from the US, but I have to point out a few things:
We don't usually say "carded" when asked for ID. I understand "ID'd".
5:38 - Sometimes also "Metro" (depends on nearest city)
7:41 - We use them both interchangeably (Cops has however, been more common, in modern-day US)
cop is actually an abbreviation of "constable on patrol" & comes from the UK. I dont' think you even have "constables" there do you?
I'm gonna Save This Video so Whenever I'm sad and need a Laugh I'm gonna Read The Comments
British: Preschool
American: Kindergarden
Me a person that lives in the UK: Nursery
Most places are called Nursery & Pre-School
Meaning that children under 3 are in Toddlers or Babies
Children over 3 are in Pre-School the room just before they go to School
Me as a German: Kindergarten
Yeah Americans just took the German word
British do not call it lee school
It’s still preschool in America (California ) you go to Kindergarten when you’re 5 through 6
They mean before nursery
english person: could i borrow a rubber?
american person: but .... your like 12
english person: yeah, so? i need a rubber when i’m doing -
american person: *ew wtf!*
english person: my homework ......?
American person : why would I want it back?
@@itzloonyddaeng2992 condoms

10. band-aid
11. pimples or acne

"What's this guy doing?"
"A pumpkin."

He must’ve gone too deep.
*INSERT lenny face here*
@@aydenkarnes671 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@tiantian5693 thank you
Ok I am 🇬🇧 so here is my take!
1. Bag
2. Hear Both. Traditionally purse is a female one and Wallet Is a male one, although the terms are definitely more gender fluid now.
3. Common to popular belief bangs and fringes are actually two different hairstyles, therefore I hear both used.
4. Cot
5. Nappy
6. I know schools that use all of the following: Nursery, Pre-School, Play Group, Pre-School and kindergarten. Generally Nurseries and kindergarten are part of schools and Pre-Schools and playgroups are there own entity.
7. Hear both equally (although I have never heard of a condom being referred to as a rubber)
8. I would say I hear more schools describe themselves as co-educational than mixed actually.
9. Register
10. Plaster (although I have heard Band-Aid use quite a lot)
11. Whilst I don’t hear zit used that much I definitely hear both pimples and sports, although it is most commonly referred to as acne.
12. In the UK college and uni are different things. College is the final few years of US High School and University is college (although the formal names of most US colleges include “University”)
13. Hear both, although I most commonly hear promotion
14. Tourist generally but do also hear holidaymaker
15. Hear both but probably Leilo more
16. Stag Do although bachelor party is sometimes used
17. Hen Night, Again though, bachelorette party sometimes used
18. Tenerife
19. Feel like this is more of a pronunciation difference
20. Current account
21. Waistcoat
22. Vest
23. All three are widely used equally
24. Jab (slang) or vaccination (formal)
25. Never heard of either, to me it’s puking, throwing up or vomiting
26. Off-licence
27. Getting ID’d
28. Till (but have heard cash register be used)
29. Best By/Best Before and Used By/ Use Before. The former means it’s dangerous to consume after the date and the latter means it’s recommended to eat before the date
30. Both used equally
31. Pharmacy. It’s my big pet hate how common drugstore is becoming in the UK especially amongst young people.
32. Baguette, Sub or sandwich (never heard of hoagie)
33. Grilling/Grilled (never heard of broiled either)
34. Curtains
35. Tube Train or Underground Train
36. Laying or setting
37. Coach (bus is the red double-decker thing)
38. Generally return, but do hear round trip
39. Post Code
40. Hear both equally
41. It’s the same thing
42. I actually hear quotation marks used more. I don’t really hear anyone refer to them as inverted commas. (I did English A Level)
43. That’s purely pronunciation
44. Hear both equally
45. Full Beam
46. Again pronunciation
47. And again
48. Skip
49. Generally motorway (although highway is used in formal Britain E.G The Highway Code
50. Police is formal however cops are used for slang.
51. Hear both equally.

Did you got that profile picture in Zege
In our danish school my teacher teachers english and she can't decide if she's teaching british or american. She doesn't pronouce the r (idk the plural for r) like americans do, but she doesn't do the british accent. And she calls the eraser a rubber, but then she calls playgroup a kindergarden.
It is very interesting to me as a German living in Canada atm to see this.
Without trying to show off, Id say that I speak decent English (I got C1) and it is interesting for me to see that I really speak in a mix of American and British words mixing in some Canadian stuff that Ive learned here like Id call a sofa a "Chesterfield"
US: paper tower, UK: kitchen roll. Me: toilet paper.
British me: tissue
it did look like toilet paper though which confused me.

@@mylesveech2994 It's probably just because of where she is from in America. America is so large so people even here say things differently. I actually called a lot of the things she did the same. Except carded I've only ever heard Id'd. Edit: Also I call drug stores Pharmacies too.
I agree. I use at least one third, to half of the British words
Exactly we def say ID’d

1:59 It's actually pretty funny to have a german word in an english video... (german is my native tongue tho)
But back to your question: "Steuern" can have multiple translations into english, depending on the context it gets used in... For example, if you use it in such context as "ein Fahrzeug steuern", then "steuern" would translate to "drive", but if you use it like "Steuern an den Staat zahlen", then it would translate to "taxes"...
And yes, I know, it can be very frustrating sometimes, if literally the same word can have so different translations and meanings, when using it in different contexts
in manchester england we call the “subway or the tube” a metro or the met

Jungkookiesdad WTF is a trivago? I’ve literally never heard that word. My phone even says it’s misspelled.
PockASqueeno trivago is a German hotel searching website. In the ads they always say, hotel:trivago. A lot of people are saying this and it has become a thing people see a lot.

Same here. I might call the bread it’s on a baguette, but not the entire sandwich.
William Jordan A po’ boy is a specific type of sub. It has to have seafood on it to be a po’ boy.

I'm glad I don't pronounce jaffa as "java" but with an f instead of a v.
A grill in N.America is, typically, a cooking style with direct heat (aka flame) using gas but can be over a campfire, as well. BBQing is a slower, indirect method of cooking using charcoal/briquettes/wood coals. If you need a propane tank, it is a grill and a BBQ if coals are needed.
I'm from the UK and disagreed with most of the things he said.
Holidaymakers err no they are tourists.
Sette no that's a sofa.
Chunder nope that's puking. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In America, we say sofa or couch.

We also say curtains (american). I'm wondering if its a northern thing to say drapes.
Kitty Fire I’m in the south west and we call it a curtain

@@muhammadyusufali8937 thank you.
Steuern is the German word for taxes. It's plural; the singular would be Steuer.
Wow, das ist verdammt traurig, dass ich mir gerade nicht zu 100% sicher war, ob es wirklich taxes heißt oder ob es dafür noch ein anderes Wort gibt.
Lime article?
you know whats funny? My last Name is steuer.
I felt so bad looking at the rising Steuern picture...
btw what does it have to do with the video
I didn’t even know what half of these were called... thanks.

British guy: I need rubbers for school
American: ok whatever
British guy: I wanted an eraser
American: oh 😨
I'm American, and we also say Pharmacy and I've never heard of the word Hoagie
It's depends on where you're from, in Pennsylvania we call them hoagies (some other states do this too).
I‘m german and we say Apotheke
@ibesweetp2 po' boy.
I call them subs
They say "hoagie" only in the Northeastern states (New England). I think in Boston they say "hoagie".
I'm Australian, and personally I put the emphasis on the last syllable in 'Chinese'. Also, over here we call the liquor store the bottleshop, or just 'bottle-o'.
