If you want to hear more of the Cork accent/dialect, watch 'The Young Offenders' movie and TV series!
Cork is like the Busan dialect of Ireland. Dublin is like Seoul.
lol i watched it ows it gowin
It’s a class show , pure deacent
Well said
Hows I goin'
a cork man in dublin is better and shorter, could watch handie sandie, with an i e
I hereby declare Billy as an official friend of Corkconians everywhere.
BlockishTunic1 : he’s totally accurate. Absolutely nails the accent. Cork here myself.
Dragon Energy galway but I’ve been to cork so much he does the accent amazingly
“I will yeah!” = Cork version of saying “no”.
😂 said sarcastically.......can hear me Mum saying now.......
From newfoundland east in Canada similar accent used in the Same wY
Way*
Also the fabulous "I will, my hole!"
I’d say it’s all of Ireland
"Im as sick as a small hospital" - brilliant! You gotta love the Irish!
Irish are the best people in the world!! Very kind, easy-going, good humored, generous!!! And Ireland is a fantastic country. I have fallen in love with it and its green landscapes long ago. Best of luck to these wonderful people!
I used to stay in Cork for 6 months for learning English, It was definitely so hard to understand the locals but I do love to be back, Cork is such a lovely city, so beautiful.
Eunhee Lee : the Cork accent is “sung”. It goes up and down.
I agree with you. I very miss Cork. I have a video from Cork, too)
The accent and dialect in rural Cork County is much harder to understand, I never lived in Cork but when I talked to people from the city of Cork I had no problem understanding them, then again I am a native speaker of English and don’t have a problem understanding many dialects, I suppose it could be hard for others.
Kurt Cobain once visited Cork, this was before he found out that he actually had roots from Cork, and when he found out he said, it was so strange because when he visited he felt a connection there he said, "I walked around there in a daze, I never felt so spiritual in all his life, I was almost in tears the entire day, it was the strangest thing"
It only made sense to him afterwards, when he discovered his roots came from there. I think he found peace in Cork.... I just wish he had come back to live here, before he took his own life, who knows... it might have turned out differently for him if he did, it seemed to give him peace and purpose, which I'm glad that he got to experience while alive...God rest his soul.
nirvana is my favourite band, theyve helped me through many things and its so cool to imagine him in town
Kurts famous red and black stripy jumper was purchased from a crusty living on the streets of cork on that visit .
This guy makes me want to visit Cork. Sounds like a fun people.
They are. Cork is amazing
Corks great
@Billy Batts sounds like british propaganda
I wish Liam Neeson had been from Cork instead of Northern Ireland. The Taken monologue would have been spectacular.
The kidnappers would have said "Could you just repeat that again more slowly please."

Good luck
🤣🤣🤣
“Grand” is used a LOT. “How was that concert you went to?” “It was GRAND like”. “Like” is at the end of a lot of phrases.
true my irish friend uses it in like every conversation we have😂
Grand is used everywhere in Ireland
and "do you know what I mean" lol 😂
I use like to much-
"Thanks a mill!"
I'm from cork and it's really weird to hear someone talking in our accent it's really funny 😂
I agree. It's funny. xD
Robyn O keeffe Don’t you hate when Americans say that they are Irish because they live in Boston and their grandparent was from Belfast lol
@@nikosmanganiotis3519 I agree. In order to be considered Irish, you have to either live there or have ancestors from there. For some reason, neither my mom, dad, any of my grandparents or siblings have an accent, but I do and I love it. My friends make me say various phrases with my accent, which can sometimes get annoying, but it's still fun.
@@nikosmanganiotis3519 We say that because we're proud of our Irish ancestry...just take it as the compliment it is :P But I do get your point. Technically speaking we're "Irish-Americans" at best...I'm aware I'm not actually Irish. Though I'd love to visit or move to Ireland some day. I even want to learn Gaeilge and speak it well. *shrug* I guess some of us just really love Irish people and Irish culture and want to be associated with it in some small way. Again, totally understand you guys taking offense to it, though.
@@robynhollie must suck for you
"Not a bother boy" love it :)
imma use it on my friend who was in Ireland for a year😂
That's a fairly recent phrase to cork as in its not one of Corks standard old Phrases
I am from Germany and will spend five weeks in cork this year for an internship. This makes me kinda look forward to it even more.
How was it?
@@jedimindtrix2142 pretty fun the people were extraordinarily nice. I'd love to go back some time.
@@ciukilp I'm watching a high def walk through of the city of Cork. Pretty interesting and cozy vibe. Seems like it would be a nice place to spend some time for sure!
“How’s it goin kid” : “kid” is used as a term of affection. Could apply to a 75 year old man. Who your family know and are friendly to him and his family.
I'm from Ireland and yes we say kid but usually someone says it to a person much younger person and I never hear people say it to much older people than them I'm just saying not giving out
My dad and his family still do this and call each other kid and lad, we're Kiwis but his family came from Ireland and settled in a very Irish area. So all his friends talk to each other like this and have these enormous families with seven-twelve siblings.
I'm from Cork and we say boy or girl but not kid.
Kid is Limerick!
@@TheLeahygirl same here in Kerry.. my mother's was a cork woman.. not one to be messed with 😁
I went to Cork last year it was great, the people were mega friendly and we even got a lift back from the airport after be-friending someone on the plane. Top people
I'm an American who dated a Cork man for three years, and it was his voice I fell in love with first. The accent is lovely.
What did you fall in love with second?
@@cattlewranglerwalsh116 He was so bashful and charming, he had such good energy, such blue eyes, his smile lit up a room...so it could have been any one of those things. I love this question, btw. Thanks for asking it. :)
@@aimeelee76 did you end up marrying him?
@@TineDorcha I didn't. We had a long-distance relationship for three years, as we were waiting for him to finish his chartered accountancy studies and sit his exams. He passed two and failed two, which meant waiting another year before he could take them again. During that year we drifted apart.
Oh that's unfortunate
This is so accurate. If you ever visit Cork , just dive in. We’re a great welcoming city.
apart from the gangs of young thugs roaming the streets.
I love how billys just sitting there while robs moving his arms more than a deaf person
Omg!! It sounds so similar to the Jamaican accent. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this!
No surprises there, Cork is quite close to Kerry, and the Jamaican accent was heavily influenced by the Kerry accent.
My wife just said this! I didn't notice myself, I will tell her she is correct :)
Was just about to say Kerry accent and Jamaican are definitely related.. someone got there before me.
My nan is from Cork and this accent reminds me of her 🥺
My grandmother came from cork her accent was so beautiful i whould love to visit one day❤
I came here just to hear a little of cork accent and ended whatching the whole video! hahah very interesting, thanks for sharing it
처음에 랩하신 줄...
선생님 표정이 엄청 풍부하셔요 😁
표정 뿐만 아니라 표현들이 되게 재밌네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 과장
Brilliant!!! 영상넘재밋어요! 진짜 살면서 느끼는 그대로에요ㅋㅋ 처음에 코크악센트 알아듣기 힘들었지만 다들 외국인들한테 친절하고 못알아들으면 다시 얘기해주고 기다려주고 그래요! 코크사람들 다들 착하고 정많고 친절하고ㅎㅎ... Thanks for this fantastic content!
Most favorite Irish lad is Niall Horan. His accent is so funny sometimes. I love Ireland and the culture ❤️🇮🇪 greetz from Germany 🇩🇪🇮🇪
He’s absolutely accurate. From Cork myself.
Omg I loved it so much! I lived almost 9 months in cork and it was such a great experience in order to learn English, improve my personal skills and in addition I met amazing people! I still miss it everyday and maybe some day I will come back❤️
Worked with a few people from Cork. I absolutely loved it there!
The funny thing is that I'm from a County in NW Georgia and almost all of the original residents are from County Cork and the Southern Accent from here is really "sing songy" too! Also very sarcastic and exaggerate a lot lol! We flat foot or buck dance and play Bluegrass music too. All of it is really similar to The Scott/Irish lol!.
Mmm my dad is from a very Irish area in New Zealand same sort of thing all these Irish people gathered together they all have (or anyway the last generation did) these big families and they have these sing songey voices and use these phases I can't do this accent but my dad can.
Well, well done to the two excellent Presenters sharing a superb insight into the wonderful Cork accent.
I remember visiting my family in cork when I was around 6 and being totally confused and frustrated because I couldn’t understand what they were saying because I was American. Now that I’m older and can understand it I think it’s one of the most beautiful and interesting accents in the English language.
I'm from the north but this is by far the best accent in Ireland. Love it
for me it's the north, Derry Girls is awesome
Ireland is the most beautiful and historical country in the world for sure! Thank you for good video Billy and Rob , see you later in Cork! Haha
I saw rob last Sunday in the English market!
I've just returned from Cork where I spent this year. I love their accent. Great vibe, great people and my favorite pub - Sin É! Regards! :)
Haven't checked in with you in ages Billy and just seen you've learned how to speak Corkonian!
I just subscribed because Billy is just a generally a nice guy and im glad he makes a living out of this Billy ADD ADVERTS I'LL WATCH THEM FOR YOU
I just spent a couple days trying to figure out how to do an Irish accent. I quickly figured out that there are a lot of dialects, but I knew I was looking for one in particular and it took me surprisingly long to discover Cork. Great video! I think West Cork is what I'm specifically interested in but this is all awesome!
been to Cork a few times..Family from there.. also have our roots in Waterford.. born an Bred St John's newfoundland good bit of aul craic hearing the similarities in our accents..
노래하듯이 얘기하는게 되게 매력적으로 느껴지네요ㅎㅎ한 번 배워보고싶은데용??😄선생님이 되게 재미있게 말씀하셔서 영상 보는 동안 웃고 있었다는 소문이...😂
I lived in Cork, it was best experience in my life. They are so sweeeeet❤️
"my eyes are already closed so i cant blink" dude 😭
Your awesome Korean Billy love your show
Nice! I miss Cork, what lovely city and people!
Funny and informative rolled up in one.
Wow. Does he ever sound like he's from Newfoundland. I didn't realize the accent was so similar. We shortened the word boy to b'y, and use it the same way.
억양 때문이지 선생님이 말하실때 표정이 넘 다채롭네요 ㅣㅎㅎ
ahh bais the classic "Im from cark" fucken mint
Falling in love in Cork? Or Falling in love with Cork?
Danny Raul Molina “with”
Now I want to go to Cork! :-D
That man is too attractive.
Which one?
@@SergioGarcia-my2zi ..the one who's a "Right Demon"lol..?
LOVE IT!!! :)
You should point out that Ireland is not part of your UK trip because it isn't in the UK.
Lol the song songy accent!
I was brought here because my family is from Trinidad and someone commented that the accents are almost similar, but with a Caribbean twist haha!
I love the Irish accents 😍
My mum is a trini and my dad is from Cork, can confirm there are quite a few similarities! Haha
@@shibbyzeeelf3192 Ahhh! I love it! Girl!
You must have a SERIOUS set of ears lol. You can pick up things and understand accents well enough I’m sure. What a beautiful combination. We Trinis love to exaggerate as well too, so I can only imagine! That is so awesome!
I used to live in Cork 8years. I have a standard american accent from watching movies and rap although Im from Hungary. They were cool with it😄
As a Newfoundlander, An irishman told me my accent sounded like I was from Cork. Now it all makes sense b'y hahaha
West Country
Give this man an Oscar
I'm going to live in Corn very soon so excited to watch this video! I love the accent ;)
In Corn eh?
Man said corn
Corn bai
This explains a lot about Australia honestly.
going to study abroad in Cork! as a southern american, this is definitely a difference
Cassidy Thibault, good luck, as a fellow Southerner, you will feel right at home. The way they treat guests is awfully reminiscent of Southern hospitality.
Absolutely love Ireland go over and chance we get! Been to a few cities over there. Favourite accents has to be Dublin or Cork there amazing could listen all day!! 💚 Coming from Liverpool we get told all the time how people love our accent but give me an lrisg accent anytime 💚
I’m from a Irish ☘️ fam. I enjoyed this boy.
Love to this 🇮🇪😂
잘 봤어요! :D
재미있는 악센트네여! ㅎㅎ
Mum's side of the family are originally from Drimoleague back in West Cork.
Are you in US? As I'm in Drimoleague 😃
After learning that my great great grandparents were from cork I got curious about the accent and dialect. I'm so happy that we're the sing songy people. Omg.
It's the Cork city accent Cork county has lots of different accents, what part of Cork were your grandparents from? It's the biggest county in Ireland.
Come to Cavan please we practically have our own language!
A cute Kaavan hoor, as our very own Niall Tobin used to say.
My grandmother was from co. Cork
Please make a video on Galway!
Unreal just like Newfoundland amazing !
I hear certain Welsh tinges in the cork accent, mainly south west Wales
Having travelled all of Ireland, I have to say that the Cork and Kerry accents are the most beautiful and have the most character out of all the Irish accents. Followed by Donegal. They have a Gaelic quality to their intonations, it's great. Especially the older people who have stronger accents.
I liked the accents around Clare and Limerick too.
None of the Dublin accents had that quality, but the people were great.
I live in Ballincollig, right outside of Cork City, most common greeting is "Story bai?"
Where boy? I'm down by the regional
Me too bai
Ballincollig was known as the satellite town back in the 80's, before it's time or what?
My cousin is ballincollig.. lives in tower now.. my mother married a Kerry man though.. up the kingdom 😁
Representing county cork lads!
“Notta bodder boy” = I don’t have a problem with what you said. I agree.
I CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE TO CORK
My family in Newfoundland Canada all sounds exactly like this even the “boy” (bai) at the end of everything lol ,our ancestors were from Cork and have kept the accent for hundreds of years 🇮🇪 🇨🇦
Hi~Billy☆Alright mate?^^
빌리님~안녕하세요 오늘도 지내셨죠?^^
Soooo Great video to me!
*악센트 영상 참 유익하고 신기하네요!
실제로 자주 쓰는 표현들을 두 분을 통해
직접 들을 수 있어 좋아요~익히려면
자주 반복해봐야겠네요~
*** 감사합니다^-^
I've been looking for a video like this since many months ago!!! I'll probably move to Cork in order to improve my English... but I am afraid of the accent...
you'll get used to it (or you probably already have)😂
Is possibile to have lessons with rob ? 🤣
The one thing I'm unhappy about in regards to the Cork accent: the fact that there are (apparently) no known recordings of Michael Collins.
My ex is from Kerry that's another accent people don't.understand his grandkids still can't understand him after yrs lol he's been in England over fifty yrs my lad Joseph Michael Collins passed away five yrs ago aged thirty four I still have a pic of Michael Collins at the top of my stairs where poor Joe put it yrs ago my dad was from Cavan xx
Does "Rob" have his own social media?
Please make a video on south armagh
I loved cork and the Irish. They laughed at my jokes so we had a sort of similar sarcasm.
But I never found a boyfriend there ☹️
Now in london nobody laughs at my jokes boy ...!!
I'm sure you'll find someone soon😊
Irish are quite social but when it comes to girls they can be very reserved. I think it had something to do with their over bearing mothers haha
fair play bai
I'm currently learning Gaeilge. My ancestors came from County Cork.
Awesome! I'm American but my Irish ancestors who came over in the mid 19th-century were from Cork... it's cool to hear how they might have sounded. Thank you for this vid.
I feel sorry for the people they met when they went to America
@@Daniel-bb9qj I feel sorry for Karen reading your garbage comment.
Doesn’t every American have an Irish ancestor these days (I’m from cork btw)
@@junghoseok3564It depends on region. Scots/Irish and German ancestry are by far the largest groups within the US. The "Scots/Irish are Scots and Irish that were among the original settlers who settled together, especially in the Appalachian Mountains and the South Eastern US. The Germans were the only other group to settle the Eastern mountains and SE part of the U.S. in mass. The Midwest has a more "pure" German population. Then you come into large Eastern European settlements like the Poles in the Chicago area and the Russians in New York. The big point for Scandinavian ancestry is mostly around Minnesota. At this point, I think the majority of whites will have a portion of both Scots/Irish and German in them. English ancestry is surprisingly more rare than Scots/Irish and is typically found in an admixture with the aforementioned. Then you have the later straight Irish immigrants that make up the cunts in the New England area like Boston. In general, there are people who are descendant of every country in Europe within every corner of the US. But there are definitely larger groups that are more common in each area of the US.

Sounds like a Newfie! Amazing!
8:19 made me laugh big time
Gowan rob bai☘🤣🍻
Wow he’s gorgeous
와...
We always welcome Billys up north
Cork sounds like a Newfie accent in Canada, especially the b'y thing at the end of sentences.
Thanks, Oliver Saxon :D
Its special alright ...
6:37 Interesting how are the cultural differences. In Sweden, for example, it's the other way around. Here the lifestyle is "lagom" for everything.
Interesting when my Partner who is Jamaican blurts out Jamaican Patois it's so similar. Except instead of singy sounds more like rapping
Some Irish and many many black people were taken as slaves by Oliver Cromwell and brought to the Caribbean area. Many elements of the Irish accent blended into that of Caribbean black people. There is a video you can watch called 'The Black Irish of Montserrat - Irish Accents in the Carribean' in which you can hear the accent.
@@elliecronin6404 yes it's virtually the same as a Cork accent.
처음 부분에 그 Skat Man 이라는 노래 생각났음 ㅋㅋ
Any notice he's saying like an absolute rake in this video, already picking up the accent.
