American Shocked by ENGLISH from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales l Can You Understand? 

Lol

I was just about to comment about the feminine Scottish guy

lmfao

@@brunyplayswastaken same

​@@brunyplayswastakenits for the wokeness

So sad!

She sounds so annoying

I thought she was stoned 😂

I thought she was gonna fall asleep soon 🤣

She was at x0.5 speed while the others were at x1

I actually did lol at that comment!

This was the reply I needed.

Lmao

I snorted 💀

LMFAOOO BEST ONE 😭😭😭

Also, if this is how she is while being “shocked”? Her relaxed moods must be like going backwards in time 😵‍💫

Ikr

She's a sleepy-american

Yea seriously... I'm American and struggling... She sounds like she's on a load of Valium

shes high

or high

I fell asleep too, listening to all of these people. Not one of them had a proper accent of their countries represented , they all sounded very neutral, i.e middle class. If you want to hear a real proper strong accent you need to go to the working class areas of these countries. These people all sounded alike as if they were all brought up watching American TV shows..

Overdose of loratadine

The Americans they have on this channel usually sound so dumb. 😕

Fentanyl

I like it though. Feel like genius people talk like that. Like that game creator in the movie “Ready Player One”.

OMG I thought I was the only one god that’s hilarious

heavily medicated

why you mad though, I like her slow speaking a lot, just relax and take it easy

Relax, I think she’s from the south of the USA and they talk like that. Y’all Get over it.

She definitely blends her words. It's just a string of noise without a break between words.

I think it was a case of serious jet lag. well, I hope it was ;-)

I couldn't even finish the video because she's so fucking slow. I can't even do what I would usually do and turn the video up to a higher speed ... because the other people in the video can actually talk... So they sound far too quick

It was actually ticking me off a little 😂 I felt so many Europeans laughing at me. In reality she’s probably just a valley girl.

Twice as many words, twice as fast. Yeah, she's not the best representative of the standard American accent

Don't learn English from an American 😂

Nice easy to understand 👍🏻

Yes. She does not apparently come from the American South but speaks slowly, much more slowly than I do.

It sounds sexy

In Switzerland we say Hus for house, as well. And we say I gang for I go. Like the Scots.❤️ And brroon for brown.

She looks high lol. But I like her, it doesn't bother me

Fr but shes cute

I was waiting for her to fall off her chair 🤣

She talking like a stereotypical caricature of a 90s pornstar 🥲

Idk why but I find it really cute lol.

Yes - very unusual, probably is a kind of affectation, or maybe she spent her younger age with a quieter person. Most American women are very nasal and high pitched, unlike the men. The women sound sort of screechy, talking through the nose, very stressful to listen to if they talk a lot. Their other modern affectation is the vocal fry where they suddenly drop their tone into a sort of buzzing irritating throat effect, especially when feeling aggrieved, this can switch to a rising inflection on words and a fading higher affect at the end of a statement when arguing and becoming unsure of their facts. These effects can be a fashion thing too. Quite distinctive and may be mainly from some states? Some talk about the Jersey Girl thing.

I have the feeling that English is her second language.

Bless her lungs after whatever she just smoked

@@irishduck2826 Oh shoot, i just died! LOL!

@@Ecthaelyon 🤣 I had to speed up the video 2x just to listen to the american girl

Lol

Is "bless her heart" a southern expression?

😂

hahahhahahahhahh..true 100%

I just tried it at 0.5 speed. My word! hahaha!!!

Im from Wales to, which part you from? Im from south

This fascinates me - the Swedes have a (now somewhat archaic) expression _usch och fy_ meaning pretty much the same thing. I wonder if there's a common heritage there somewhere!

Only my dad is welsh, but i never knew 'ych a fi' was welsh omg. I also only recently realised that 'cwtch' was a welsh word 💀 i grew up in Gloucestershire tho

@@Bakuhx015I’m from mid wales but my fam is from north

@@Bakuhx015 I’m from south

It's quite odd. I always hear people saying they can't get the Glaswegian accent but I, an Englishman, have never had much trouble understanding it. Same thing with a thick Scouse accent. I just find it so easy to understand while others always complain about not getting it. And I'm not a northerner. On the other hand, some thicker Northern Irish accents and certain older Geordie people from a generation where the Geordie accent was still quite rough around the edges... nah mate, can't get a word.

@@brendanm6921 yeah there is the softer spoken glaswiedgens and there is the proper rough type lol. Yeah the jordie accent I can understand no problem. Alot of the Irish accents are definitely hard to decipher

@@getmwi aye I lived in glenrothes for a while with my kids mum and they always thought I was pissed off cause of my accent lmao.

Aberdonians are illegible XD

in renfrew 15 minutes doon the road somtimes i even struggle (na very very raerly tho

Lol

That's exactly what it is. Apart from the English girl they're all speaking someone else's language.

The title does say ENGLISH so we can assume that it refers to Scottish English and not Scots. Having a Scots speaker in the mix would have been confusing especially since Scots uses its own spellings and therefore isn’t really comparable with the standard English spoken in the other countries.

​@@101steel4 But the Welsh guy gave several examples in Welsh as well as English as spoken in Wales. Their Scottish representative's weak contribution was disappointing - apart from "minging" for disgusting. "Bog" or "cludgie" for toilet would have given the others something to talk about!

@@robertfoulkes1832 speaking Welsh in a video about the English language. Pretty pointless.

@@101steel4 It's not pointless if the local language (Welsh, Irish, Scots or Gaelic) has influenced the words used in English speech in those areas.

It's like she's on something

well-kempt =))

Maybe a Californian? I saw a vid once that New Yorkers were so annoyed at Cali’s slow accent.

Fentanyl. Its a huge hit in the US atm.

@@greatdude7279 You know fentanyl is fatal in even the smallest of doses, right?

I think he's a ringer. The real Scot didn't turn up so they put a Scotland shirt on some English guy who's just finished his first term at St. Andrew's University.

For sure , she is from Eastern Europe

She doesn't looks like slavic. Maybe Hungary or Romania

Jet lag?

She's an anthropomorphic dormouse

as an american girl with narcolepsy, it’s not what I have

"I found this online"= I just made it up.

My parents always referred to it as the john.

Doesn't "Ajax" sound like "a Jack's"?

I have never heard Jack for toilet. Why do Americans portrayed as hot but dum

Is the English girl from Liverpool

Do you know the "Tour of North American Accents" videos with Eric Singer by Wired? Before I watched those, I didn't realize how many different American dialects there actually are (I'm German). And it's incredible how Eric switches dialects right in the middle of a sentence.

Love the accent in Appalachia side of Kentucky, very hillbilly

Accents in the UK can vary even between streets ...

There are more accents on the British isles than in the USA. There’s something like 60.

@@amyw6808 .. Way more than that in the UK

I had the exact same thoughts, just wondering what county are you from??

Sounds like a Dublin way of saying it. I'm from Cork, same as Irish guy, so I would have said it the same way as him. Just some regional variations but everyone understands.

We in America use to say something similar that kinda died out in the late 90s, we would say that's killer or you're killing it which meant something was awesome or cool.

I’ve heard “mank” (not just “manky”) to mean “disgusting” in Ireland as well

My brothers and I used to say something was "minging" to mean disgusting when we were young (from Dublin)

His parents are English

​@@101steel4His Scottish accent was on a par with Dick Van Dyke's cockney😂😂😂

I don’t know weather your US centric. For saying that or weather he really did that accent with North American’s in mind.😂

Except 'Scotty' drove us all mad with his pseudo-Irish accent. Just listened to an audio story based in the Highlands around Loch Ness, where the American narrator ( 3 main characters were American) spoke in a blatantly Irish accent for all the Scottish locals. Aaaaaarrrggghhh!!!

You should get angry with super fast of your language.😂

I wanted to shake her out of her coma.

Aprendiendo español. Me encanta español

Exactly. I’m from the American south and I have lived 67 years in several southern states. She just sounds like she’s on drugs.

Same in Scottish Gaelic. Taigh-beag.

What about the shitehoose?

no we do not say were going to the crapper LOL, possibly class may come into this. But if you called the toilet the crapper or bog, I would think twice about who I surround myself with HAHA. thinking of that scenes out of national lampoon Christmas vacation.

@@samuelhastings6859 I have heard it used in situ, I don't tend to judge people based on socio-economic status.

@@stephenroney2366 I forgot about that one!

@@pumpkinbubbles1162 I'm judging them on the use of words. If you were to use crapper or bog in an office setting you would be seen as not being respectful to the facility. maybe a porta loo? camping maybe.

How would you do with- Ble mae'r ty bach, os gwelwch yn dda? 😄

Ikr. I was thinking maybe she has some condition or something.

She seems pretty cool and smart and possibly on heroin 😂

I say ych a fi lol.

It's "the bog" for me when speaking either Welsh or English - my parents always said "tŷ bach" as did I, when I was much younger. For me milk is "llaeth" (not "llaith" which means damp). I grew up in mid Wales, just south of the border of the language dividing line, which is reckoned to be Machynlleth.

@@jinxvrs yes sorry llaeth, I spelled it wrong! But yesss, bogs

Depends where they are from, as a northeasterner we share more in common with the Scottish than English as we often say “Manky” “That’s rank” “Minging” etc.

@@jinxvrs So you're by Aberystwyth? Do you actually say 'llaeth' and 'llaith' differently, because down south we don't. We also say 'tŷ bach' generally, contrary to what the gog said.

@@timeastwoodbagpiper 'Pisspot' and 'shitter' are also acceptable for those of us who are a little more irreverent haha.

I lived in South Wales for a year and people didn't have a clue what i was talking about 😬🤣

Agreed, it's just bog and bog roll. She says she's from the north west but she's really posh north west if she is. I'm a slovenly southerner living in the north west and I use slang from both regions frequently, and I don't think she uses the words the same.

Aye duck.

Also saying " 'ow do" and 'O'reyt" for asking how are you, calling something disgusting "mingin'", saying "it's peeing it down" to say its raining (usually saying peeing as a slightly stronger version of the word though lol) for the other ones. For someone from the north west, she talks like she's from the south

@@emospider-man6498 She's from Manchester, they don't tend to sound as strong as Liverpudlians or Yorkshiremen, let alone Cumbrians which is the proper north-west in my opinion.

No he would not believe me he would not I’m welsh with a English step mother and let’s just say no we don’t say half the stuff he said the only one I can think of is tin iawn and I’m from the north 😂😂 he is deff not in the right north side

Thank you for learning the language, the language is the most important thing to the Welsh, if only you knew how great it is that an English person wants to speak Cymraeg ❤

Similar vein.. I visited the South Coast once, I heard the expression "that's lush" so many times I wanted to punch someone lol

Also reminds me of the Paris Hilton.

Yeah, i thought the same. it's not really an accent I think, just a unique way of talking

In Russian, it is "(льёт) как из ведра" - "(it is pouring) like from a bucket".

We have quite a few Scots language words that are similar to Scandinavian languages. For example "bairn" for child, "oot" for out, "efter" for after, "flitting" for to move, "greeting" for crying, "hoose" for house and "keek" for to look/peek. There's loads more too, most likely due to the vikings. On islands in Scotland Norn was still spoken until 19th century. Quite interesting how language can intertwine😊

We say "lashing" here in NI.

also the braw one. bra in norway means good

I had to put video on 2x to sound her normal 😂😂

@@moktan289bruh 😂

I think she rolled a jumbo blifter then found out the others were non-tokers so she smoked it all herself.

Everyone saying that is weed. That is def not thc high. Marijuana is a stim. She’s on benzos or opiates/opiods. Also the latter is more likely due to the amount of anxiety meds American women are on.

Loo os from French "l'eau" (guarde l'eau) which was yelled when dumping chamber pots out the window (watch out for the "water").

I call it "going for a William". As in William Pitt.

How would you have answered them? I'd love to hear variations 😊

@@ponyxaviors4491 I'm from the North and would mostly agree with Eoin, but there are a few variations. I'd say "what's the craic?" but not "what's the story?" If someone said "story?" to me, I'd not know what they meant. We'd also say "what's happening?". I'd understand "that's unreal" but would be more likely to say "that's class". For "that's disgusting" I'd be closer to the Scottish guy - "that's minging", "that's dirty", etc. For "it's pissing it down" we'd say "it's pishing it down" and I'm surprised the Scottish guy didn't say that as well tbh. For "stand in line" we'd say "queue up". For toilet's we'd just say "toilets", or maybe "the bog". I think "jacks" is a distinctly southern word. For me, a bathroom has a bath in it. I'd understand any of the suggestions though, bathroom, WC, restroom, etc.

@@deyfuck Thank you for replying, and specifying where you're from 😁 I know there're a lot of phrasal and accent variations across countries, but people seldom differentiate between them. I like hearing about the distinctions.

@@deyfuckin Dublin we say Assalamu Alaikum السلام علیکم

@@ponyxaviors4491 In Dublin we usually use السلام علیکم And مرحبا Marhaba And يعطيك الف عافيه yateek al arfiya if you adress groups

Yeah I automatically said minging too. Also, 'Alright, Butt?' In the greeting section. So it's interesting to see that isn't something commonly said by the Gogs. XD

I like the Tuesday reference

Moist 🤣

In Brazilian Portuguese is very common to say "casinha" (little house) too.

@@pauloguimaraes2010 No, it's not.

@@Capirotinho In my region, it is.

​@@pauloguimaraes2010hell to the no! I've never heard that!

@@Gush12 Countryside of RS, SC and PR do it. We are a HUGE country.

I'm the same he said so much shit I've never heard before

In America the more fun ways to say ask for the restrooms are shitter,pisser,Jhon and if you know where the restroom already located and you’re letting somebody know that you have to use the restroom the fun ways to say that are I have to use the porcelain throne, i’m about to go use the urinal, I have to take a leak, I have to take a shit I will be right back, And there’s more stuff you can say

In Ireland "the Jacks" is a very informal but common term, exactly the same context as "the John". We don't normally use the term "restroom" but it's understood if you asked for it. Bathroom/toilet or gents/ladies room would be the norm. Personally I find "where's the toilet" a bit blunt and prefer to use "where's the bathroom" but each to their own. If you ask for the pisser you'll be pointed in the same direction.

Yea I'm from Ontario, and I've heard "the John" quite frequently when referring to washroom

Funniest ones: squeze a Douce, pinch a loaf, or drop a chalupa

Among friends and such, then shitter for sure 100% It's difficult sometimes of what to say on RU-vid as some comments just seem to get randomly deleted without you even knowing until maybe later, just for speaking normally/commonly. 42m from Birmingham UK here.

In Australia we say the dunny, a corruption of dung probably.

Same here in the Chicago area.

Forgot about can

Wales, scotland, Ireland and the US 😂

They've picked the softer versions of each accent. If the English woman was from Liverpool and the Scottish guy from Glasgow, then I doubt any foreigners would be able to understand 😂

@@Martin-88 She’s apparently from somewhere near Liverpool, it’s come up before, and the Scottish accent sounds like more of a central belt one than a highlands or islands or Aberdeen accent. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does come from Glasgow but he’s also got a very toned-down version of his accent, that’s true.

​@@Martin-88 yeah, subdued. Suspected they live in the US for quite awhile.

Ask your Welsh friend, 'Alright, Butt?' And if they don't get it- that explains why they are talking differently to this guy from North Wales...😆

People are being too mean to Sophie, I feel bad for her. 😔😭

I hope she will ignore those comments. We all have accents, there’s nothing wrong how she speaks.

She is talking slowly...like it's deliberate

@@karllogan8809Some people are bullying her.

@@nathanspeed9683The rhythm in which a person speaks is a component of their accent. I have relatives who grew up on farms in the South and speak at this same pace. The difference is they have a lot of twang in their voice and she has worked to lessen her.

Cajun accent too
