Things Scottish People Can't Say 

The issue with the words "Irish wrist watch" is the w in wrist. We subconsciously think it's important and affects the pronunciation, but it really doesn't. Imagining it as "Irish rist watch" helps a lot.

i know someone called Carl and i hate it. he's Scottish. I'm Scottish. we live in Scotland. he has Scottish parents. why do they not love him?

That’s it, if I ever visit Scotland I will introduce myself as Carl.

i'm american, and i can't say "irish wrist watch" either. ...and i'm having a helluvatime trying to type it as well. lol

Me: Call him by his last name? Carl Carlson: Am I a joke to you?

"Caaaaaaarl, why is there a dead body in our house?"

"sounds like a fart just came out of my mouth." I died. 😂😂😂😂

When she kept trying to say Carl, I imagined two llamas.

When I say Carl it comes out as “carol”

Im Scottish and Scots can barely say a sentence without swearing

she pronounced Carl perfectly I don't understand...?

my name is Carl and I found it amusing that you can't say my name

This is fascinating. Thank you. I live in Montreal, (French part of Canada), and I don't speak French, but when I try to say something, it sometimes is impossible. So I do understand. Thanks for your humor, and fun attitude.

another thing that scots cant say is the difference between "addition, audition and edition"

Irish Wrist Watch is hard for Americans to say, too. lol

As an American, your "Carl" was pretty good, and you're right, "Irish Wrist Watch" is hard for us too. Always fun! :)

I love the way Scots talk. I'm half Scot/half Irish meself. My paternal grandmother still used the pronoun "Ye", and I treasure the memory of her. I found this channel whilst looking up references to "Purple Burglar Alarm" on this platform. Greetings everyone from the state of Arkansas in USA.

Everytime you said Carl I kept thinking of "Llamas in hats"

it's ok Hun, I'm an American and tried Irish Wrist Watch and I don't think any can say that, including the Irish lol

I think whoever this “Carl” person was had some fun with leading you to believe you could not say his name so you struggled to say it. You pronounced it fine.

A lot of people are saying that I said Carol correctly! Good to know my practice paid off, but it isn't an easy word for me to say. I have to move my jaw and my tongue in a way that feels so unnatural and it's only because I practised a bunch. You come to Scotland and ask anyone else, they'll struggle. I promise.

omg with the English accent you sounded like Emma blackery

Your English accent is very good. I was surprised when you went from your accent to English very quickly.

I'm American and can't say the Irish wrist watch fuck that's embarrassing

"Why is it soooo haaaard?" --- that's what she said! bahahahaha sorry couldn't resist

Scottish people can't say "hoots man,there's juice loose about this house" without it rhyming

I'm Irish And I Can't Even Say It Irish Wrist Watch 🍀⌚

Welcome to Scotland, Carol.

I'm glad to finally find a Scottish youtuber!!🤣🤣🤣

Lol down here in Galloway we say Carl like "Carole" lmao

I can't say Irish wrist watch and I'm a kiwi

"No I don't want that deep fried"

Paul: Caaarl there is a dead man in our house! Carl: Oh, Hey! how did he get here? Paul: explain yourself carl! Carl: I have never seen this man before in my life. Paul: Why did you kill this man, carl? Carl: I don't kill people. That is my least favorite thing to do. Paul: Tell me Carl, exactly what you were doing before i got home. Carl: Okay... well i was in my room... Paul: Yes? Carl: Reading a book... Paul: Go on... Carl: And umm... this man walked in so i went up to him and stabbed him 37 times in the chest. Paul: Caaaaaaarl! That kills people! That's what this video reminded me of XD Llamas with hats. Caaaaarl!

My friends all say Carl as "Carol" and I'm just here like "Carl" cos I don't roll my Rs unless I'm in a mood 😂 so when we say Irish, they say "eye rish" and I say "arish" 😂

I'm an American living just outside Glasgow and get teased at work a lot-- my coworkers like to hear me say Scots words because they sound soooo dumb in an American accent XD I can't say the name Mhari correctly, and I tried saying Irish wrist watch, too, and had no success XD

she obviously doesn't watch the walking dead.

I know another thing Scottish people can't say: "No thanks, I wouldn't like a drink."

That's how we in the American South say Carl. You said it right.

ME: IRISH WIRSH WASH i have a lisp and i can not say moses

Born in Florida and raised in New Hampshire. Cannot say Irish Wrist Watch. My mouth spurts out Irish Wish Wash.

Irish wrist watch is hard for an American too.

Actually you said Carl just fine.

I’m American and can’t say Irish wrist watch

What Scottish people can not *see*

I can’t say “About” I say it like “A- boot” Hehehe, that was a Canada joke

I’m just catching up on your videos, here’s one no Scot can say “I’ll support England in the World Cup” 🥶

I live I the U.S. and when I used to be in theater we would say "Irish wrist watch" during warm-up to get used to enunciating words. I used to be good at it, but it takes practice and I'm out of practice

Have you seen any of the videos of German folks trying to say squirrel? Good stuff :)

I know Americans have trouble saying the word "rural".

As an American raised in the Midwest and having lived on both coasts, “Irish wristwatch” is difficult to get- I have to throw a slight pause in, so it’s “Irish- - -wristwatch”. Or in American English, “Irish watch”.

Irish wrist watch: my Russian friend can't say it, his accent is thicker than war and peace

"Rural", I have such a hard time with that word! Comes out as "Rool" lol. I am American and cant pronounce it. I could listen to your accent all day and never get tired of it!

Guys we made a new facebook group for you all to go and chat about all things Scottish! Just search for it 'Wee Scottish Group' and send us a join request! Also... FIRST

When i first moved to england from Scotland i got this lovely porcelain doll i was like 9 years old teacher asked what i got and every time i tried to say porcelain doll in my english accent it sounded like i was telling the class i got some porcelain doors ... what kinda gift was that right? I tried many times .. ended up wrighting it down 😂👍

I'm dundonian and can't say these pretty well.

Something a Scottish person can't say: I'm not scottish

Anyone else Scottish?? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

that was freakin hilarious . i give an A for effort

I'm impressed that you have such a perfect American and English accent in addition to your native Scottish accent. :) Happy 2020!

When english is not your native language, and you can't even pronounce "Hello" with confidence ='(.

I have a college degree in Theatre (and I'm American) and "Irish Wrist Watch" is a tongue twister that actors sometimes use to warm up. It helps you articulate better, but it's definitely meant to be hard to say!

I'm Scottish, I was brought up In Scotland and I have no Scottish accent at all

Actually, you did a lot better than you thought. You got Carl perfectly.

I had a hunch Carl would be on the list 😂

I’m Scottish and didn’t realise I struggled to say these until this video

Irish wrist watch is a bit difficult. The key is forcing yourself to take a short pause after Irish.

There is, of course, the famous story about this fellow in Glasgow who was accused of robbery but the man was dismissed on all charges because no-one could read the police report (below): '' Karl Burkin is accused of breaking and entering the house after the purple burglar alarm failed to go off. After moving diagonally through the house, he stole some jewellery, a curly-wurly and a medium sized Irish wrist watch. Specifics aren't available, but it is generally thought he was frightened by a tarantula and broke the bathroom mirror, tumbling to the ground where he was apprehended by the local constabulary. ''

I'm Scottish but I don't have that much of a Scottish accent to my friends but to my English cousin I sound incredibly Scottish.

Americans can't say Irish wrist watch either

Scottish People can't say 'Let me lend you a tenner."

Carl wore his his Irish wrist watch while setting up his purple burglar alarm

Actually im english and that was actually a really good impression 😂

Next Video: Scottish woman tries to get voice recognition to work

CAAAAAARRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLL

When you said "or you're just going to be called Carl" (said shortly) sounded fine to me.

When she was saying “Carl” she was saying that males named Carl’s...and I thought she was saying”meal” instead of male😂

I live in Texas, USA and have never heard a single American able to say Worstershire Sauce without slaughtering it.

I can't say 'Carl' either, and I'm Dutch lol

I'm from Glasgow but now live in Norfolk. I rescued a kitten & called her Purdy. & no one can work her name out when I tell them

I'm English and I can't say 'Irish Wrist Watch' either!!

I struggle with the name Roy.I have to stop and think how to say it. I am southern USA.I stuttered as a chilkd nad taught myself how not to stutter. Did you know many of the Southern USA accents you hear come from England Ireland and Scotland.They were the settlers that came to the south. We just slowed it down a wee bit. So never think when you hear a southern people speak that they are ignorgant. They have mastered a beautiful lanague.

Soooo... I'm Scottish and I can't say brown burgers by the beach, i dunno why it's just hard 😂

"999, whats the address of your emergency?" "Hi, my names Carl and someone just tripped my purple burglar alarm and stole my Irish wristwatch. It was dark but he looked like a braw English fellow by the looks if it."

With my London accent, I struggle to pronounce anything with an "ay" sound in it, such as "fake" or "cake." What I tend to do, I've noticed- (and not just me, but a lot of Londoners in general), as I add an "i" what ain't really there, into them words, so they become "faik" and "caik." I just can't pronounce them "fayk" and "cayk." Anything with the letter "i"- (pronounced "eye"), it it's a weird one for me as well. Instead of saying "Pipe" and "Bike", for instance, they'll come out somewhere in between "bike" and the Irish pronunciation, "boik", and "pipe" and the Irish pronunciation, "poip." Not quite one and not quite the other, but somewhere in between the two. It's mainly anything containing them two vows what I've always had trouble with, and what any of my northern mates have always took the piss out of me for. I also have trouble saying words like "milk", 'cos with the "dark 'L'", it comes out more like "Miwlk." I also have trouble saying "girl" and "girlfriend." When I say either of them two words, they tend to come out more like "gel" and "gelfriend"- (but with the old dark 'L' striking again!) I also have to really think about what I'm saying in order not to use Fs and double Vs in place of some T.H.s- ("Fink", "Fings", "Beffnawl Green", "Norf", "Saaf", "Maaf", "Farvvuh", "muvvuh", bruvvuh"), "uh" in place of "er" on the ends of words- ("Bugguh!"), and the dreaded glottal 'T'- ("bu-uh", "gu-uh", "be-uh.") I come from Edmonton in North London, but I tend to say that I come from "E'mon'on in Norf London", if I'm ever asked where I come from, losing both the 'd' and the 't' in "Edmonton", in this instance. That's another one, seeing as I've just brought it up as well: anything with "ou" in it gets pronounced "aa" with my accent- ("Saaf", "Maaf" and "Traasees"- ["Trousers"]. I wouldn't invite ya to "my house", you'd get invited to "me 'aase", which'd probably make our American and Canadian mates think that I was inviting ya to look at me "ass"- (me butt)- ha-ha! That's about all I can think of right about now. Peace and love.

Carl He works a camera Carl He knows what all those buttons do Carl He’ll clear a paper jam Carl And he’ll pick up the laundry too He knows how to format spell-check and text-edit He’s working this job just college credit! HE’S CARL!!!!! THE INTERN!!!!!! Carl.............

Can you do tounge twisters? If so, try these. 1. A black bug bit a black bear and the black bear bled black blood. 2. Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear fuzzy wuzzy had no hair, fuzzy wuzzy wasn't so fuzzy was he? 3. Six silly snakes in seven silky socks( Five times)

I've now been yelling "irish rish rosht" for an hour trying to say irish wrist watch.

The name Karl is such a struggle 😂😂😂

You did a really good English accent it's better then mine and I'm English myself 😂

I want to be Scottish. Anyway I can change my voice

You're saying the name "Carl" perfectly fine.

Not a native English speaker here, but probably why saying "purple burglar alarm" seems difficult for Scottish people is because you subconsciously concentrate on pronouncing the R in buRglar and that messes the whole thing... Also, Scottish R sounds a bit similar to Spanish R and perhaps that sound doesn't blend that well with English sounds, especially in between consonant clusters...

I’m Australian , my mum is Scottish and I had some fantastic laughing moments watching this lol cracked me up. 👍

What's your favorite instrument? Mine is the bag pipes

My husband is named Carl and we love Scotland…we don’t mind whatever you call him

I left auto generated subtitles on and apparently Carl is a meal. Carl, u a snacc.

Going back and rewatching this video, I tried to say "Carl" and it just sounds like I'm saying "Carol"; but then when I say "Carol" it just sounds like "Carl" but as if I'm rolling the 'r' a bit more 😂I love being Scottish!

Too funny. I'm an American and I have trouble saying " Best Actor Oscar." It just wants to meld together as "Best Astor Oster." Try it and see how you do. ☺

You're precious and delightful! Just subscribed!
