I like how the Yorkshire pudding part was subtitled as delicious food.
good description that ;)
Because they are! Lol
Some of ya'll are the most thirstiest kids ever, lmfao.

LMFAO THE GRAMMAR
Whae ae you gae
yogurt ! Are you talking about me? Lol I don’t see what’s wrong with it.
I remember reading "The Secret Garden" to my kids. I dreaded reading Martha's character because she's from Yorkshire and it was so hard for me to read out loud trying to do the accent 😄
I finished reading secret garden for the 2nd time! Curiosity got the better of me, and i just had to know how Yorkshire accent sounded
I came here for the same book ✨
I had the same problem 😂
There's some challenging bits in Wuthering Heights too. Lovely people, lovely county. God's own.
Oh my god I’m literally here because I’m auditioning for Martha in the Secret Garden musical lol
I'm a Yorkshireman, and I remember whilst teaching in China I asked the school secretary for a 'picture of a Monkey' after repeating 'monkey' several times, she asked "Are you hungry?"
I answered 'no, why?' and she asked why I wanted to eat Moon cake!
Id like to learn Yorkshire accent .
@@KmT81don't know't first thing of English by look of it lad, canny learn a dialect yet
When you wanna say "Hold The Door"
You say "Hodor"
Old't door*
@@bencardwell6981 Or...."odd t'dooer"
Or...."Odd t'dooer, willt tha?" Hold the door ,please.
Even with one line in the whole show, you could tell Hodor spoke with a south west accent. If he were a Yorkshireman he'd say "Huhhduhh"
That cartoon about the guy who could only say odor
This is fascinating. My two neighbours are from northern Yorkshire and Wales, and it's very hard to understand them. English was hard enough for me to learn and listening to them makes it even harder. I really like the accent though.
I'm from germany and I had an internship in Yorkshire for one month and I have fallen in love with this bloody brilliant accent! The british accent in general😍
There's a crow that says "y'alright love? I'm alright"
Regional British accents are terrible
I'm Canadian but my dad's Leeds born an raised. Never realized how much of a Yorkshire-man he is! Chuffed and faffing have been commonplace since I was a baby.
I've only learnt that faffing isn't used all over the English speaking world.
Although reading the comments from a lot of people on here maybe I should say the German speaking world.
Eee, that’s reet gradely lad. Does folks think tha’s daft apowth?
Ow, wot thy onnerbart ?
Everyones talking about how "hot" the Turkish girl is but I'm here in awe of the Yorkshire girl's pale dainty beauty.
yes, finally!
You know nothin, John Snow!

I was thinking about her hahahaha
to be fair this Yasmin chick could say literally anything in any accent and I'd think she was the bees knees...
N A that’s ‘bees bollocks’ in English 😏
Actually it's the dog's bolox in English!
It's the norks I like.
This is way too far down the comments what’s wrong with people nowadays

Seemed less about the accent and more about local colloquialisms.
Spot on.
which is dialect.

whoa, easy, sherlock, despair betimes, the stockwell one.
Great Britain is full of regional dialects.
The Turkish girl does a great job here.
When Jasmin speaks in the Yorkshire accent, she sounds exactly like a native english speaker! Sweet
She really doesn't. Lovely lass. But nothing like a Yorkshire accent.
I'm from West Virginia, and growing up, my dad and his family all used to say "how do" as a greeting. I've never heard anyone else say it like that, although everyone tends to know what I mean when I say it.
Louis says chuffed t'bits all the time
Meghan Malone hes from donny like me
Awwww Lou ❤
Meghan Malone here for louis as well
He does??? I didn't ever noticed but maybe because I didn't even know it's the accent
Loueehhh ❤
Yeah, I totally clicked on this Video because I'm so interested in the Yorkshire accent, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the thumbnail...
Beautiful! I love my Yorkshire accent! Everyone be proud of your accent it's unique
Absolutely. (Although I'm a Londoner and girls wi' a soft Yorkshire accent really do it for me!)
LOVE these British Accents challenges! I'm a Yank and I used to get such a kick out of the old Yorkshire farmers on the original "All Creatures Great and Small". They were a bit hard to understand sometimes. I especially found amusing the way they frequently dropped the article "the", as in "Aye, go fetch veterinary".
"The" is not completely dropped, it is replaced with a glottal stop.
Exceptthey'd say, "Vetnry."
Don't say about yourself you're a Yank. It's awful.
Now, if only people would understand the difference between an accent and a dialect!
pray tell
Hey if I say I am A Kurd, almost all the turks become racist and say bad words even when we are nice to them. That's a shame on those racists, but I have respect and love for the good Turks which are a little amount of turks they are my sisters and brothers❤️
most turkish people I know never had a problem with kurds i don't know if you had any personal experience but I haven't seen any hostility except made up from news and media
A few years ago I decided to move to UK instead of US because I understood UK English better compared to US. I thought everyone was speaking "BBC English"... and gosh I'm bad in thinking..
US English is less diverse and is everywhere. I don't know why you have thought that everyone speaks like in the BBC, but it's funny.
This accent diversity is terrible to many people. US/CAN English is really more understandable.
Regional British accents are a TREASURE 💎 My soul hurts to imagine them fading away. Whatever you can do to preserve them, please do ❤
Regional accents are terrible and they create too much chaos in a language.
Yorkshire is a big county and there are lots of 'Yorkshire' accents - depends on which part of the county you come from.

loooooooool
Thumbnail brought me here. Learnt this video was about accents
None of us came here for the accent, let’s be honest ...
I did.
True. I came for the syntax.
You know there's porn on the internet ?
Actually I did and was disappointed, Yorkshire dialect not very well presented. And a big boring wank fest in the comments, like everywhere else.
OK. i was curious as to how the accent sounded but the girl in the thumbnail *did* persuade me to watch this video in particular...
Omg this is so perfect! My husband is from Yorkshire & trying to explain a Yorkshire dialect to Americans is so confusing for them! Haha I was confused for awhile even after I moved to Sheffield & I'm ryte good at the accents. LOL!! Love it! 👏
prithee Lotti, it's reet. soz.
My nan's from Sheffield, im very intrested in the Yorkshire accent, granted she was brought up mostly in New Zealand but we still use alot of Yorkshire slang, and the ruins of my great great grandfathers iorn refinery is still there (in ruins) lol
I visited the "golden triangle" some years ago: Kettelwell, Hubberholme and Cray. But just for the pubs. Very friendly people there! I guess the name Hubberholme came from the vikings?
Hardly sounded like English xD
Azren the Language Nerd sound german
English is a Germanic language .
Southern English accents are more influnced by French and Latin . Variety is the spice of life and what makes a country x
It does to me. I live in the north.
The English are a mix of Celtic and Germanic people, not stickily "German"
The505Guys Via French which has a lot of Latin influence . There was a huge influx of French Hugenouts from France and Belgium especially in the South East sure they influnced the language . Not to mention how closely the two regions traded .
Angles and Saxons spoke simalir languages but not quiet the same .
Places like Hull traded with the Scandinavian and Northern European countries as well as parts of Germany .
My mother tongue is Portuguese. I've learned American English. In London I was mistreated because of my English pronunciation. I am sure that the person who did it could not speak any other language. Otherwise, that person would know we speak the way we were taught. It is not choice.
Oh, I super like the teacher of this lesson. She is the best! Does she have her own channel?
yeah she add that effect on't me an all
I thought the Yorkshire lass was the prettier of the two.
@@warpartyattheoutpost4987 same, yorkshire girl looks enchanting.
"Mardy" doesn't simply mean unhappy. It describes someone who is easily upset by trivial inconvenience or the slightest provocation, and then is inclined to cry or complain in a whining fashion. Mardyness is petulance.
"Dun't be s' mardy" (Don't be so petulant);
"Dun't mind 'im, 'e's just bein' mardy" (ignore that petulant individual);
"Mardy boots" (a petulant person).
Put wood in th'ole lass my dad would say. Also, side the table for your mother lass, ie clear table to prepare for dinner etc. He called a vest a singlet (as opposed to a doublet). Mardy, petulant, hard to please. Mid 1800s Lancashire dialect. South Liverpool villages not part of the city until c1913. Dad born in Gateacre, lived in Woolton. His mother was born in Halewood village in 1869. (Pre 1960 urban sprawl and Ford Motors).. I suppose to people who don't understand historical context, we're all scousers now. Aged 81.
As children in Walkley we used to chant while skipping: "Mardy-bum, mardy-bum: tell thi mother to smack thi bum!"
I lost it when she said faffing & wooden.😂
The only place in the world where “tin tin tin” is a valid sentence
It's not in the tin! 👍
come on, mr cooke. for our over seas viewers. ti'nt in'tin.
Amazing!
The Turkish chick is hot
In Brabant , Southern Netherlands , we also say Ow Do , exactly the same pronunciation , but we don't say hello but goodbye ! Houdoe , which means Hou je goed : Keep well/good , Stay strong .
Now isn't that nice 🤗
Old English and Old Frisian are sister languages, so a lot of Dutch stuff will be similar but with different meanings along with the Frisian stuff. Here is some Frisian evolution of words that the meanings have slightly changed compared to English but you can see how they where once the same. 'Dat binne Fenna's boeken' 'Those are Fenna's books' the words 'that's' or 'those' where im from in Yorkshire is pronounced 'Dats' its like the 'th' at the beginning of the word is changed to a 'D'. The 'Binne' evolved into our word 'Been' which then evolved into 'Are' and we dont actually say 'Been' where im from we still say 'Binne' as in 'Ive just binne to shop' but the true pronunciation in Yorkshire accent would be 'Av juss binne teh shop' you see the 'to' is changed to 'teh' its like you begin to say the word 'to' but you only get to the T before the rest of the word is totally abandoned and we move onto pronouncing the next word...
Omg Yasmin

@# Exactly. Somethings off she looks good here. Looks like she aged a lot in 3 years.
@@mastersinr A lot of girls do age quite quick like that, especially if they live fast life of lots of alcohol, parties and food. This vid was from 2016. She could've been 21, now she's 25. In addition, the trend now for Instagram girls is lot's of makeup and facial work such as botox etc. I think she looks more natural in this vid which is probably for that reason.
Simp
Don't understand all the love for the Turkish girl, she's nice enough but yorkshire lass is stunning.
Thanks.. but I didn't learn what makes a Yorkshire accent .. just a couple of phrases... thats not the same thing in my mind.
Brilliant!! Not bad for a non native English speaker.
why is the music so LOUD and when they talk you can't hear them?
i came here because of the thumbnail and was not disappointed, played the video on replay several times. Learned a few words British as a bonus
Yorkshire is huge. The East Yorkshire / Hull accent is very different. 50% of this is spoken in East Yorkshire. Wish you could've pointed that out but great video none the less. I aren't sayin' owt wrong abou' it.
True. I'm from down south but can spot a Hull accent at 500 yards. The vowel sounds (like the 'u' in Hull) are very distinctive.
The student is truly stunning.
I like how yorkshire puddings just translate to delicious food.
wow, is that still considered english?
This is a bit exaggerated to how we actually talk. People only use those phrases every now n then, not in every single sentence.
I kind of figured that. I'm from the midwest of the United States and we dont really have an accent. So even when we use slang and expressions it doesnt get that crazy.
Yes, because it comes from the Anglian dialects of Old English (6th-11th century).
guess it depends on't wereu from, for me thats fairly rite
Leornende Eald Englisc
There's no evidence that all English accents were derived from Anglian accents.
ACCENT, NOT PHRASES. HELLO?
Doors tend to be made of wood.
When doors are open there is a hole.
So “put wood in hole” is pretty self explanatory
"Freshin' ya drink, gov'na?!"
Naah....that's like saying Texans sound like Noo Yoikers
Ahahah, "I present you Britanniaaa!!"
She is good, sounds so natural.
Can we talk about how hot that Turkish bird is?
I love provincial accents and want them to survive...but would be dumbfounded and desperately trying to comprehend what I'm hearing if I ever encountered certain ones. I remember going on a tour in New York City several years ago and running into three young Scotsmen. I'd never met Scottish people before and thought it was cool to be able to chat with them, but it was embarrassingly difficult to make out what they were saying, though they seemed to understand my American English (most of my life on the west coast) just fine. I distinctly remember one of them (and he was the chattiest one, I think) saying to me, "Beleeb me man, I'm TROYING," before having yet again to repeat something he'd just said so I could try to understand. I felt so bad for them at times and also felt like a moron, haha. :(
Not a very broad Yorkshire accent. We don't use "THE".
OK smartarse, what do 'we' use?
@@whnook most people from yorkshire use nothing in place of the 'the'
@@whnook I'm not from Yorkshire, but in my experience they tend to replace it with a "t" if it's before a vowel and a glottal stop otherwise.
@@chaoskillers In some circumstances, this is absolutely right. E.g. "Going to Bus station" or "Meet you in Library". But.... might be a bit of a generalisation? Not sure....
@@SteppingStonevlogs I'm from West Yorkshire and I very rarely use 'the some areas are probably different but round here we don't generally use it
But there are many different Yorkshire accents depending where people are from - try Barnsley for a particularly heavy version.....but it's very different from say a Yorkshire Dales or East Yorkshire accent. Advertising voiceovers seem to favour the South Yorkshire sound.
You're right! Barnsley is by far the broadest!
I'd still know she wasn't from Yorkshire even though she was using some of the phrases, as she hasn't got the Yorkshire twang in her nose. I didn't know some of those. I was born in West Yorkshire. Lived in Australia for just over 50yrs, and still got my accent, which I never want to lose, as I'm proud of it! My three grown-up children, all born in SA all have Aussie accents.
To be fair, she’s not even English. I’m sure if you went to Ankara and learned some Turkish phrases, people would still know that you were not Turkish.
omg i was randomly searching yorkshire accent on youtube and i see a turkish girl? like what are the odds :D (im turkish btw)

I'd be quite happy to keep her. She, however, would probably be less happy.
@@rogueriderhood1862 why would she be less happy? English men are so charming.
@@lavish_1717 Charming perhaps, but sadly this Englishman is a sad old man! She would definitely deserve better.
That was absolutely hilarious, lol
My favourite one, that dialogue is too good.
ln Rochdale it's 'wood in't thole'
Celestial Teapot over the border.
Sounds like she must’ve been slightly familiar with it already 😊
I can do what my friends think of as a passable Yorkshire accent, but I know it's just a generic version, because there are so many variants of the accent, depending on where in Yorkshire the speaker comes from. I once heard Michael Parkinson, from Barnsley, jokingly complaining that he couldn't understand anything that people from Sheffield were saying! This was from a bloke who completely bamboozled an American guest on his show by using the phrase, "Nowt bu' a lad"!
Such a cutie. Holy
If I used to speak broad Yorkshire my dad used to say !don't thee tha me Thee tha thi sen and see how tha likes it

That's what older accents sound like .

yep she was born in Istanbul though.
she is extremely talented.

me too :/
I'm actually weeing 😂 love it
Weird but ok?
Some of these words are "English" (talking about the whole group of videos) and I get looked at wrong if I say "ain't"💀 H O W?
They're all English. Nothing wrong with "aint".
where are you from where people look down at ain't? Just curious, find that stuff r8 interesting I do
In Yorkshire, we use "int", as in "It's cold in here, int it?" Not to be confused with "in t'", as in "I was in t'shop this morning..."
Who is this beauty?!
