@brucegibbins3792 Год назад

No it actually doesn't. Foreigners using these terms will usually be out of context and confusing to around half the population whose speech and choice of words they use are very different to those described in this programme. No society similar to New Zealand's is classless with each class having there own speach characteristics within a common language. The examples given in this programme are those more often used by folks with less education than average. It's entirely possible to type cast an individual by how they speak, their choice of words they use in general conversation. This program is misleading and lacks valid points in that it describes the speech of one class of New Zealader as being how all New Zealaders speak and that is simply untrue.

I left NZ 30 years ago and much of that slang was typical of maori or islanders, not as common among pakeha. Never heard of the word "skux" but the use of "um" at the start of a sentence was common when pausing to think.

@NoirL.A. Год назад

"um" or some version of it is extremely common in the states too and is, in fact, a normal part of human speech it exists in all languages in one from or another.

@noname-zi6ez Год назад

@raindropfox 3 года назад

Warning: if you come over here as a foreigner and use phrases like skux, chur bro, hungus, or hori, you're probably gonna get looked at like an idiot. Most of these are only really used as an ironic joke in my experience, so take this list with a pinch of salt.

@garynarborough 4 года назад

I was brought up a kiwi living there over 50 years. So some of these words like Skux must of only evolved recently. Interesting to watch. Some of the words mentioned had other meanings as well. My education for the day! One thing I want to make VERY clear is that in earlier years the word Hori was used as a nasty noun instead of Maori. The term as you use it may of changed but there will be older Maori folk who will find the term extremely offensive as they should. It's very racist. I'm in my mid 60's living overseas and can remember Pakeha using the word very disparagingly. I'm European and found it offensive growing up in NZ. I'm not being critical of the channel rather, pointing out something you need to be mindful of.

@garynarborough 4 года назад

@spud spud The Channel need to be held to account for using it. I hate it when I hear it used. Appreciate your feedback. I'm now living in the UK. Would love to move back but logistically it's not going to happen.

@keithtonkin6959 2 года назад

Pakeha is not a disparaging word at all and I don't remember it ever being so except in the minds of a few people who misunderstand it. It simply means a New Zealander who doesn't have Maori or other Polynesian / Pacific ancestors. It can actually mean Africans or Asians too but in real usage now it really refers to those of European ancestry. I am a Pakeha and that is what I call myself because it tells everyone that I'm a New Zealander (which i'm very proud to be) and not a person of European ancestry from anywhere else. What 'Pakeha' may have meant to some people in the past is now irrelevant. (show me any word that doesn't change meanings over time) So anyone who takes offense at it must simply want to be offended in my opinion. An elderly Maori gentleman has told me that "Pakeha" to him was an acknowledgement of a person who isn't Maori but understands, respects and holds dearly all that is "New Zealand / Aotearoa and all that is equally held dearly by Maori. He worried more about recent immigrants who have yet to grow into that and didn't call them Pakeha. they were his opinions.

@ben1NZL Год назад

You are right. In the 60s/70s especially, it was a very derogatory word to describe Maori. I cringed when I heard her use the term. I guess teens today are oblivious and as an older Maori I have never heard it used in a long long time. She obviously did not realise its' significance so I really don't blame her.

A lot of these words are common in many countries across the English-speaking world. Granted, there were some exceptions (i.e. vocabulary not generally used outside Een Zeed), such as "togs", but many of them I know from elsewhere. Other examples you could have included are "jandals" ("flip-flops", for those not already aware). "Sallies" (followers of the Salvation Army church, known as "salvos" in Australia) and so on.

@michaelwoodhams7866 3 года назад

Speaking as a Kiwi, I agree with everything except: Yeah nah, nah yeah, chur: I've often come across these cited as examples of kiwi slang, or in advertisements, but I've never met them in the wild. t-sauce, hori, skux, loose unit, hungus, egg: I don't think I've ever met these before watching this video. I'm in my 50s, I mostly hang out with educated people, which probably insulates me somewhat from some slang, but I did go to school in a small Northland town. I suspect yeah nah and chur are just more recent than my school days.

@dougsmith3499 2 года назад

Some of these are from multiple generations, and also the meaning has changed with some of them over the years. For me skux is the only one I haven't encountered in person, other I've either encountered or used on occasion.

@snowphiakim2965 Год назад

Can we have more lessons like this one please? 😊 thx thx

@HeidiWruck 5 лет назад

Smoko is derived from back in the day when everyone used to smoke, and your work shift would literally take a smoke break. It doesn't mean to get a cup of tea and a biscuit at all. In fact to use the term "smoko" is usually only used by people who do smoke. Those who don't call it break time.

@CuzzaBoyee 4 года назад

I'm not having a crack, just a different opinion but non smokers say it every single day - what's for smoko.. this egg left his smoko at home... shout smoko on your birthday. Your history is right but some funny ideas about what it means these days. Maybe just different industries but it's never meant only cigarettes that I've heard. Last time I heard anyone say break time was at high school. Can guarantee thousands of people are doing it wrong though if you're right.

@khustombuilt2854 2 года назад

Yeah nah, I call it smoko and I don't smoke.

Bugger a bit risky if you look at the original meaning. We always said "stuffed." Yeah, the car is stuffed. I'm feeling stuffed. But good tips in general, but take into account not everyone is Gen X. Hori is very close to the N word to us older young at heart people.
