As an American, I feel so rude speaking with Geordie friends because I keep asking "what?" I don't do it on purpose. I genuinely care what they have to say. But sometimes, after the third "what?" I just nod and smile. I'm so sorry guys 😭!
Your mental if you actually believe this, if there’s one dialect that isn’t getting watered down it’s Geordie have you heard everyone in and around St James’ on a match day?
Whenever I see a clip talking about Geordie accent it reminds me so much of Jade Thirlwall. And there was one time wherein Jesy said in an interview that the first time she met Jade she is not joking cause she really did think she was foreign and I died 😂
I went to Uni of Newcastle and since i could pick up the accent so easily, I came back to Thailand with that a touch of accent after few years. I find the accent charming and friendly. I dont care how other people feel but i wish i still had that accent with me.
Given this was a video about the Geordie accent, it would have been nice to have actually heard some Geordies speaking it - rather than hearing others merely commenting ABOUT it.
Being a Geordie living doon under, when people smile and nod, you know they have no idea what you have just said, my accent is now a lot softer but when I get excited it reverts straight back into Scotswood Road 100 % percent Geordie... plus the speed at which we speak confuses them as well whey aye, canny man, hinny
Geordie comes from a mix of Dialects/Languages Old English (example: “Gan”) Norse/Scandinavian (“Hjem” in Norway and “Yem” in Newcastle both pronounced the same and both mean “Home”) Irish Gaelic (“Cac” meaning “Shit” is used in Geordie as well as the Irish Gaelic speakers) So in retrospect Geordie is a mixture of Celtic, Germanic and Regional Influences, and its hard to understand since Geordie is a mix of old Languages and Accents, the Celtic comes from Scottish and Irish settlers who came to Newcastle, every native of Newcastle has Irish/Scottish/Celtic Blood as well as Germanic English and Scandinavian. There are more words I could put in here but it would make this text box have mountains of paragraphs that I cannot personally be bothered to fill.
Lol I was gonna ask where the Irish Gaelic came from over there.... I like Mancusian, Lanky, and Geordie accents the best But northern > southern, overall defo
@@christopherthewreckerthats2295 no. Know YOUR history. Celts were in Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, france, germany, northern Spain, and northern Italy. They were a collection of subcultures.
I have lived in Newcastle for a few months and at first struggled to understand some people sometimes, but imho Northerners are supremely warm and friendly people always with a smile on their faces.
I remember being in this! Haha I came up and asked what you guys were filming. I'm the guy in the Star Wars top, please no geordies kill me after my comments 😂
"in the tuuune", haha. I came here because I was watching a video about animals & the woman's accent was so lovely & friendly, with quite rounded vowels. Someone replied to my comment that it was a Geordie accent, & here I am, discovering that I'm not alone in finding the accent very warm & friendly. Great video! (from a Canadian fan of the Geordie accent)
Most of the people interviewed are from the far south of England and European what happened to the real people!? Lastly, I love how they partly put the dialect and accent down as just old English and forgotten about even though its a known accent like Yorkshire and Lancashire which are incredibly still spoken as in the accent, its seems its turning into another plain English default accent which is found in Oxford and Westminster and so on, as its becoming increasingly soo common now days around England and all the original accents are being killed of. Soo sad 😔
Being Dutch, I never noticed the Geordie accent untill the start of Covid. In Amsterdam, all shops and entertainment were closed due to the restrictions. A lot of foreign tourists still went to the Dutch capital (Amsterdam) and of course they were very disappointed. I remember one group of lovely girls who spoke in a funny way, an English accent I hadn't heard before. Cockney, Upper Middle Class Londonese, Scottish, Irish, etc., I was all somewhat familiar with thanks to the films and tv. Now the Geordie accent is my favourite English accent.
My daughter went to live in NZ and for a time worked in a cafe. A few people would come into the cafe regularly and 'loiter' for a little while...just to listen to her Geordie accent. They had originally hailed from the 'Geordie' region. 😂
Love it. We'd love to show this on Tyne and Wear TV on our regular segment showcasing great local videos from social media. Would you be happy to let us broadcast this with a credit to you?
Hi there! I'd be very happy to allow the above to happen. I just need to clear it with my interviewee as they agreed to participate when the piece was a University submission so unsure how they'll feel about the broadcast. If you can message me an email address I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
I'm a Geordie and remember talking to two lasses, outside a nightclub in Northhampton. They both said I was faking my North East accent, so I could score with them?
Recent surveys have determined that the hands down sexiest accent is that which comes from Whoresylvania. It's been voted to be even sexier than the Gigaloian or Slutselstein accents.
I used to deliver to the Metro Centre in the mid 1980`s, from London, best people you could ever meet, (even if i could not understand some of the bloody words lol) Being a Cockanese Londoner they prob could not understand me, fast forward 30 odd years i have a granddaughter at Newcastle University, they think she is a posh Londoner, but she loves the people there and she is prob going to stay there after Uni.
I'm from America, and I'm tracking down the history of my region's accent. Which accent does the narrator speak with? And is that the Newcastle accent that the professor is speaking with (not a stupid question because he could be from elsewhere in the country)? Because I must say, I barely notice either one's accent as it blends with mine a bit. If that is the Newcastle accent, then it is especially interesting to me as there is a city called New Castle here in Pennsylvania that was the neighboring town to my childhood home. I've become interested in the history of my accent because I'm learning more and more that I use a lot of words and spellings that are actually British rather than American.
To my ear the Professor has once had a Geordie accent which has been homoginised... given his choice of work. We used to call this 'Your telephone voice'.. .. used in order to be understood by the many. 😂🤣
When I first came to the northeast I thought people spoke very slowly. When I went back to visit in Manchester I thought that they spoke slowly - very odd 🤪
You're a Geordie if ya born there. If ya moved there and ended up becoming a resident there over a period of time, ya classed as a 'adoptive Geordie'. My mom was born in Newcastle, so I'm part Geordie by blood :)
What does the woman with the glasses at the start of the video say? Literally to me it sounded like “ Didn’t drop the hedgehog along the proggy knot” If any Geordies are reading this please don’t be offended. I just can’t understand a word she’s saying.
Nowadays my accent (geordie) is much more southernised and watered down. If u listen to my uncle or grandad you'll need a translator or even If you took this video 30 years ago you'd be needing subtitles. Kinda a shame tbh
Guy in the black shirt and red lanyard sounds American. In fact he almost has a "midwestern" accent (which basically means in American English not really having an accent at all) most Americans wouldn't even think he was from England. I did hear a hint of Geordie and I'm sure it comes out in other words. But what he said on camera was a nearly perfect American English accent.
He is American. They were interviewing non-Geordies in that part of the video about understanding the Geordie accent. Most of the people in this video were not Geordies. Only a few at the end.
I was raised in Newcastle upon Tyne. And then moved to London when i was 15, when i first entered highschool, when i start talking my school mate just like "excuse me, could you slow down please? I can't understand what you said" And when i ask a question to my teacher, my teacher just like "could you please write your question? I can't understand"
IM JUST WATCHIN THIS TO SEE IF ANY OF ME MATES IS ON IT COS IM FROM THE TOON LIKE BUT THA NOT SO A BETTA NASH YEM AN SEE IF WOR LASS IS READY TO COM OWER FOR A FEW BEVVYS COS IT SEEMS LIKE A CANNY DAY OOTSIDE IF YE KNAA WOT A MEAN LIKE
KatesCarp I'm L2 in English and Northern Irish is the only dialect I nerd subtitles for, I even understand Scottish quite easily, but the Irish...? Nope.
Anyone can recommend Famous Geordie Newcastle people on RU-vid? I studied in Northumbria and back to home country I miss Geordie accent. I don't know any youtubers from Newcastle with proper Geordie accent. Not this
ko thet that’s just the Geordie way init some of them can be proper scruffs like but it’s funny walking around town at night seeing all the drunk birds 😂
Weird i genuinely understand most english and all the people on the vid but i worked with a old gordie and when i met him all i could understand was swear words, it wasn't a sexy nor trusted accent from him
