He's not even joking with 'wee' it's literally used in every sentence here. "I had a good wee night out" "I'm feeling a wee bit down today" "that wee 40ft man is tall" it makes no sense but for some reason it's just accepted.
At a shop “just pop your wee card into the wee card machine, and enter your wee Pin, take your wee card out there, thank you and there’s your wee receipt.
Cloé M hahahahaha love it, that’s fantastic!!! I laughed my head off but it seems the French want to be polite hahahahaha!!! Thank you for sharing this wee comment 😂😂😂
Myst Scazza why all you’re asking them really when used in proper context is what good times or fun they’ve been having lately nothing wrong with that my Irish cousins ask me this all the time ! Used as much as the word grand is tbh .
Aika K I know! I’ve been waiting for both haha! I watched Alexander’s last week and then I quickly search for Jamie. Of course it wasn’t there haha, but know it is hehehehe.
I'm Scottish and it's funny because so many of the words he mentions are ones that we use here as well! For example, wee, jammie, steamin, eejit, faffin we use all the time in Scotland, and we say 'kegs' instead of kex, but omg, it's so similar!! But then i guess Scottish and Irish people are very much alike! x
Not surprising considering the whole "plantation of Ulster" with thousands of Scottish settlers so a lot of people in Northern Ireland have Scottish roots myself included.
"Thank you for watching Northern Irish slang with me....Liam Nesson." That about sums Jamie up Reminded me of the time Jamie said the celebrity he gets most mistaken for is Eddie Murphy....that is Jamie's humor, which I love.
“Any more of this and there’ll be less of it” made me burst out laughing. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of my Irish Nan because that is something she always says.
Try this newfie saying out for size. “What’s after happening now”? (It means...”What just happened”) Is there a point in it? No. Is it said constantly? Yes.
In my opinion, this series is about learning the common slang of the common people around the world, to have an episode just for shakespearean slang for tom would be missing the whole point
Was engaged to a Northern Irish fella once & he said almost all of them! Some were new but... either way, their accent makes me weak in the knees, gah! 😍😍😍😍😍
@@Flowergirlfairy I have found him online, but he's moved on... New fiancée & 2 little girls now. It feels like a lifetime ago. But - maybe some day we'll cross paths again. That was my soul mate, for sure.
"Eejit" is actually a word I heard in my family a lot but nowhere else in America as far as I heard, so I always thought it was just a funny word my dad liked using but then I watched all these kinds of videos and suddenly it makes so much sense!
My American wife couldn't stop laughing at the "wee" when I took her to Belfast. We went to pay for something in a shop and the girl said, "Do you want that in a wee bag?", and then said, "Just swipe yer wee card there". Priceless.
I love how in Northern Ireland when someone is talking to you about someone else, they're either yours or ours. Just like Jamie said several times "your man" or for example it could be a particular person - "Your David" and "Our David". Is like they claim people and I love it :)
Cant believe they didn't include another phrase we use which is "Sling yer hook" basically meaning get out of here or move along 😂 I think its a good one.
Just watched the one with Gerard Butler yesterday and hope there will be one with Jamie Dornan. Never been able to say until now that “my prayers have been answered” LOL. Such a cute guy and a great sport Jamie is.
He is Irish, he has an Irish passport and identifies as Irish. Northern Irish people can choose British or Irish citizenship and typically identify as Irish, British or Northern Irish or a mixture.
ShaunRL he said he’s northen Irish and he always says he’s northen Irish that’s true but he says he’s not Irish he’s northen Irish so yeah he could have a Irish passport but he is northen Irish and says he is that he has never said Irish,
How did you not know!? Any time he does an American accent, it has an Irish lilt to it. Maybe that’s just me being Irish, being able to hear the slight lilt, but I find it pretty obvious!
can not fathom how you can do a video about Norn Iron and not include SO IT IS (and it's many variations). Also - Skundered, Face, Wise up, Keep'er lit and, of course, RAGIN.
I'm Northern Irish and all of this perfect by the way when he said "this ones very Irish" which we do say, it means that that phrase was stupid and it didn't make sense
Jamie is such a nice man 🤗... He is funny 😂.. always friendly and his talents are endless 🎬🏌️👔🎤......He is the best 😊👍 Thanks Jamie ... we love you very much 😍......and Liam Neeson🤣🤣
A favourite of every Irish mother.." If you fall off that and break your leg, don't come running to me". Other slang...our'uns and your'uns....my family and your family.

The ‘wee’ thing couldn’t be anymore correct. We literally use this word a shocking amount. I don’t think we ever have a conversation without the ‘wee’ adding itself in there 😂

I remember asking for a wee one (coffee) and they actually gave me a tiny one.. I was so upset 😂
There's your wee receipt there.

My mum who is French came to NI in the 90s, she was confused for the longest time about "wee" thinking it was "oui"
That's actually the funniest thing ever, thank you for this.

Was it a wee wee? Qui!
omg i love that
Hilarious
“the craic was good”
ok jamie.
Hannah Vest was. It was good craic.
Just realised I say that all the time and now ik why it sounds a bit off
Hannah Vest what’s the craic

Mmmighty craic!
"Thank you so much for watching Northern Irish slang with me - Liam Neeson"

Alexander Skarsgaard AND Jamie Dornan? You're too good to us, Vanity Fair.
No that was liam neeson
Alexander Skarsgård is the best😍

We say it in Australia too. Faffing about.

"But you're just getting a normal sized bag"
*MIND. BLOWN.*
@jimmy stewart hahaha
Loads of these are used all over the UK, but how sweet is Jamie don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile that much
“Northern Ireland is know for basically..ME.” 🤣🤣
That was pretty bold! Mostly true though...also Snow Patrol.
Mike Campbell definitely bold! But hardly true...✌🏼
He forgot Van Morrison and Rory McIlroy but maybe he was just thinking of Actors...
Colin Morgan xoxo
sean doherty He was joking.
Do people just think we’re leprechauns with the music in the background an all 😂
Yes, gotta have it!
Jamie is so soft I love him
RAINFOREST MINTS have you seen him in “The Fall”?
@Niso Stannard how would you know you haven't touched them all
He looks more like a dad now
Still hawttt
@@jhl1858 he's also daddy
he is a dad
He is a dad expecting his third child with his wife, Amelia. 💚

Certainly NOT the Belfast accent.
Try watching “The Fall” you’re welcome.
No
Idiot it’s not an irish accent
I’m Northern Irish and it’s so weird to hear someone on screen with my accent 😂
same Northern Irish here as well
Both of you are Irish
@@bens6n168 northern irish

Please do one with Tom Hiddleston about Shakespearean slang !!! This is gonna be awesome !!! 🤯 And I love those videos keep going 😉

So why'd you leave him?
Well - I think time & distance took it's toll on us... :( He'll always be the one that got away.

Since this segment started I've been looking forward to Jamie showing up.
I NEED Cillian Murphy to do one of these!!!
YES!
*Please do Viggo Mortensen and Danish slang next.*
now this is a good idea
I fully support this.
I want Viggo Mortensen doing Argentinian slang!! That would be epic!
Pretty sure Viggo wouldn't know any danish slang
Mads Mikkelsen with Danish slang
As a Northern Irish person myself, I had no need to watch this but it was worth it for Jamie 😍😂
Why is he so adorable yet so freaking hot
As a Scouser, I didn’t realise how many of these ‘Irishisms’ I actually use. Great video.
I’m Scouse with both grandparents being Scottish and Irish, I always use words such as craic, eejit and wee lmao
I’ve been to “Norn Iron” twice! It’s so beautiful and the accents the best!
I love the crac and class saying the best :D
That's class mate
Drop ‘norn’😖
I could listen to him talk all day
OMG HE IS SO CUTE I'M DYING
"Eejit" is actually a word I heard in my family a lot but nowhere else in America as far as I heard, so I always thought it was just a funny word my dad liked using but then I watched all these kinds of videos and suddenly it makes so much sense!
Did he say at the end... with me.. Liam Neeson!? 😂😂😂😂😂
I L i heard that too! 😂😂
He did
Holy crap he is ADORABLE with the Irish accent.
He's Northern Irish Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and a different country to Ireland 🙄
@@PS-ru2ov well then he's so adorable with the Northern Irish accent. 😁
@MacFhlannacuidh aye whatever troll
@@PS-ru2ov That's debatable...
@@PS-ru2ov The accent existed before the border dumbass. It is still an Irish accent, no matter how much ye Brits want to steal it.
I love Jamie Dornan!!! I could listen to him talk for days!!
It’s interesting how many of these we have adopted over in Yorkshire! 😂
When Jamie referred to that bag he had to cover his package with he referred to it as a wee bag😂😂😂
dornan.dakjohnson I thought of that too. 😂
YES!!! As soon as I saw Wee come up I started laughing thinking about that interview. 😂😂😂
I love Northern Ireland 😍 it’s beautiful and people are lovely!
Maddie Wes aw this is so kind!!❤️
My American wife couldn't stop laughing at the "wee" when I took her to Belfast. We went to pay for something in a shop and the girl said, "Do you want that in a wee bag?", and then said, "Just swipe yer wee card there". Priceless.
He needs to be in a comedy!!!
totally, great idea! now get someone to do it
I love how in Northern Ireland when someone is talking to you about someone else, they're either yours or ours. Just like Jamie said several times "your man"
or for example it could be a particular person - "Your David" and "Our David". Is like they claim people and I love it :)
That's all over Ireland really
Basically my vocabulary in a three minute video☘️
Es un hombre maravilloso, saludos de parte de todas sus fans latinas 😘.
For part two Jamie: your head's a marley, wise up, ack away on Sammy, catch yourself on, scunderred, all jokin' aside...
Happy Belated Birthday Jamie. You are so much fun! Enjoy life.
"I'm gonna have a wee cuppa tea"
Even though you're having a normal sized cuppa tea
TRUE THOUGH XD
Love Northern Ireland. My favourite part of the UK ❤
One of my favourite parts of Ireland also!❤️
Yes a lovely part of Ireland taken by the British or invaded by the british
We'll be a united Ireland soon 🇮🇪
@@therealleonidas229 Sure, if you mean within the United Kingdom 🇬🇧☘️
My husband is Northern Irish and I can definitely say that I have heard him use almost all of these phrases/words! ha ha ha
I have a character who is Irish- but I’m American- and I cannot tell you how helpful this was to me..
When will you Americans get into your thick heads Northern Ireland and Ireland are two different countries?
AND Bronagh Waugh, loved her in The Fall. I’m vacationing there next year, better study up!
Okay my last name is Branagh and I thought you just said my name so I had to do a double take
Helpful when rewatching Derry Girls 😆
They forgot one of my favourite Northern Irish expressions: "Catch yourself on!"
It sounds very like scottish, I knew most, like dead on that's a good one, and jamie you are a honey xx
The chapter caption for Buck Eijit 💀
Cant believe they didn't include another phrase we use which is "Sling yer hook" basically meaning get out of here or move along 😂 I think its a good one.

I didn’t even know he was Irish. This whole video seemed like he was playing an accent game hahah
you're an idiot
Hanniaa09 he’s northen Irish not Irish

Love his voice and accent.
Bout ye people on TH-cam~
way on
What about ye there noy
What's the Craic Heng?
Aye, what about ye? How's the form?
omg i feel so embarrassed but idk how to respond to all of you here cos i totally forgot what i learnt in this video
A lot of these are used in Scotland as well
it's cos the majority of northern Irish slang is Ulster-Scots
Боже,какой же он красавчик и нереально крутейший человек)))Побольше тебе ролей )
When he said "wee", I just instantly remembered him talking about his "wee bag" for Fifty Shades. 😂

And George Best!! Don't forget the Belfast Boy...
His accent does not bleed through one wee bit in 50Shades , you couldn't never tell he is Irish .
I'm a Geordie and I didn't realise how much we have in common with northern Irish and Scottish with the slang terms and phrases haha! Canny!
Canny deal
I am Northern Irish and I am so happy I found this
I’m Scottish and I use most of them terms every day haha
I’m southern Texan and we use some of these too. Scots really influenced our slang
He could be a great Magneto when Michael Fassbender finishes that role in Dark Phoenix.
"What a great craic last night, it usually means that the craic was good."
*Sees Jammie* "Is that my name?" 😂
Swoons over anything that comes out of Jamie’s mouth. 🖤
I’m Scottish, but my family is Northern Irish and so both they and I use a lot of these expressions!
love how he tries to explain slang with slang
OMG His accent 😍😍
Fun fact: Yoke is also used to refer to ecstasy pills
-I took a yoke at the party
Your going back a bit lol.
Aww he's adorable ☺️😍
0:56 good save 😅 😂
Northern Southern in America: idjit
Northern Irish: eejit
Yep - my Southern parents said idjit instead of idiot.
idiot and eejit are diff
There's strong Irish roots in South USA too. Some of their folk music is also similar.
So what's correct response to "what's the craic?" Or "bout ye" ?
Either "ah yeno yourself" or "f*ck all"
Rightly
I'm Northern Irish and all of this perfect by the way when he said "this ones very Irish" which we do say, it means that that phrase was stupid and it didn't make sense
The music played in the background is soo nostalgic

He is such a sweetheart. Omg
I would love to see him in Robin Hood Origins and in A Private War.
This accent is so interesting, kind of a mix of irish and scottish (because of the rolled R's). Makes sense given the geographic location i guess?
Exactly that. Basically due to a lot of Scottish settlers in Ulster back in the day.
A favourite of every Irish mother.." If you fall off that and break your leg, don't come running to me". Other slang...our'uns and your'uns....my family and your family.
A few of these are also used in England and other places in the UK as well
We need Joonas Suotamo to do this!!
He’s so warm and cuddly...looking...I don’t know! 😍
Amazing how many of these are heard across the uk
As your man says though craic is proper Irish north and south
