Been to Newfoundland once, and I swear it is just Ireland, but in Canada. It's fantastic, never have to even slightly think about if the person can understand my accent, it's just guaranteed they can.
The highest concentration of authentic Irish speakers outside the big Island! If you happen to come to my end of PEI you'll find yourself amongst your own.....
Good impression, you nailed the way we say 'Newfoundland' and 'whatta ya at by', and in the inhaled 'h'yeah/h'yuh', but Newfies aren't exactly known for saying 'across the pond'... " 'cross the h'ocean" is more likely lol. Great video
Love this. My parents plane was stranded in Gander, Newfoundland during 9/11. Along with 6,500 other passengers. Brave and honorable people. ❤❤❤ The musical Come From Away tells the story from the townspeople’s perspective.
I love Newfoundland and the fact that we have such strong Irish cultural influence including our linguistic accent. I hope we never lose it inspite that the mai
Lol I had this with a newfi many years ago as a taxi driver. They sound just like us. The history is interesting. Great stuff keep it up. It's great to see a young Irish man keeping his culture a live. Be v proud of yourself 🍀🇮🇪
I love the “yeah, yeah” while breathing in. That’s a tell-tale sign you’re from Newfoundland. That, and the constant references to some random “bys”. Lol. Loves this! ❤️ from Central Newfoundland
Lol my sister's friend is dating an Irish guy who moved to Canada. When I first met him, I partied with him all night and it wasn't until the next day I realized he was Irish. I just thought he was from Newfoundland or something. Being sober the next day may have helped me to hear more of his accent and words that didn't quite sound Newfie. It was like one of those moments in movies where all the pieces of the puzzle finally click for the character and they remember all the clues and hints and are like "oh my god how did I not notice?" lol.
The “yeah, yeah” is so typical Newfoundlandeze. My family all came from the St. Mary’s Bay area and if I had a $1 for every time I heard that in a sentence, I’d be a millionaire many times over! Loved it Davy! And yeah, you nailed it!
Love this! As Newfoundlander, I love our connection to our Irish roots. One interesting thing I'll share with you. The term Newfie isn't used by all Newfoundlanders. Depending on where you're from, (or how old you are), you may see it as a humourous nickname, or as a slur. For ages upon ages, Newfoundlanders were the butt of the "stupid Newfie" jokes, told by mainlanders and many an American who lived here on one of several US bases. Newfoundlanders took back the "Newfie joke", making the butt of the joke the CFA (come-from-away), but to this day, the term 'Newfie' still manages to raise a few hackles, in spite of many an islander owning it, and using it. Cheers! A long lost Irish cousin. 😁
Beautifully done .. truly entertaining .. and the accents right on .. lived in Canada for many years and miss it dearly ⚘ Davy .. talent doing these shorts is immense .. hope that you will do more like these in times to come .. Thank you so much for this :). Jen999💙
The really weird thing is that I've been listening to Newfie accents all my life (Western Canadian here) and NEVER clued in to the fact that they sound alike. Now I can't unhear it!
@@Nicole-sd9xh Well the programme was Canadian ser in Newfoundland, I thought it was an Irish programme then realised it wasn't but the accent had me fooled for a few minutes.
My 3 times great granda on my father’s side emigrated to Canada around 1858 and my grandfather was raised in Nova Scotia. He had one hell of an accent 😂
I used to game online with a couple Newfies and I could've swore they were from Ireland lol . Kinda strange how that happens, I grew up in Western Colorado and when I moved back east everyone told me I sounded like I was Mexican.
Haha right on… I’m a Newfie and me and my man were playin COD zombies back a cpl years ago now - ppl were AMAZED we aren’t from Ireland and also couldn’t understand sweet fuckall! Was drove most time both of us cause they didn’t understand🤣
My grandmother was born there. Her family settled there in late 1700's. She did sound Irish. They had huge families and when I did DNA with Ancestry I ended up with +11,000 cousins from there!!!
You want a great newfie accent? Oh boy, go to an out port. They are small communities, you can only get to them by them boats eh. Then you get ... uh what did you just say, the true old Irish accent.
he done the thing where you inhale and say yeah at the same time somehow, how in the hail, lol. i don't get how y'all Irish can do that, but i like it. if his greeting had been "how're ya gettin' on" that'd also make sense, lol
One reason why i can understand the irish accent. My mom from cape breton island nova Scotia. Where they too have an accent but not as strong as the newfies. Lol
My ancestors were originally from County Cork but 6 or 8 generations in Newfoundland after being ousted by the British post Bonny Prince Charlie changed the accent a wee bit.
My accent has been variously claimed as irish, Bostonian (fuctifiknow), Appalachian (more accurate than you'd think) and something called 'New Englander'. Being a Newfoundlander is FUN
Just so you know when you come here, some but not all Newfoundlanders bristle at the word Newfy. For many years it was a derogatory term used by mainland Canadians when referring to us. Not so much today.
Made me laugh. When I was in the Canadian army, I had a lot of mates from Newfoundland, and boy oh boy it was grand to have someone with a brogue and accent that reminded me of the Old Country. Newfoundlanders are unique, and are a more "distinct society" than Quebec. Great little video. I have witnessed that same queer look when I have dialogued with people. Well done.
Im Irish and I ran into a newfie in Vancouver. We were drunk. I had the same experience as this video: extremely confused by the interaction for a long time.
Well, a lot of, a lot of people have a family background way back from Ireland. The Rock is an isolated island, not part of Canada until after WWII. It stands to reason that the accent has changed a bit, but not a whole lot. People who came to Canada spread out everywhere over a massive country. That changes things.
So my name is Christopher Walsh. I am from St. John's, but I live in Ferryland, up the Southern Shore. I had an experience this afternoon. So I went into the grocery store and I was talking to the lady behind the counter. I said to her; "Well she looks like de fog moight be clearin' up!" She looks at me and says; " Shut yer mout, Jaysus, you been livin' here long enough not te say dat!"
@@DRS659 Most of the coast, except for the Avalon Penisula, was settled from Dorset, Somerset and Hempshire (Wessex). That group of migrants accounts for almost 80 per cent of English settlers in Newfoundland going back to 1806.

You do our Newfoundland accent very well, Davy!!
I'm very proud to be an Irish newfie
Thanks so much Leo! It’s a work in progress 😁
My ancestors came to Newfoundland in 1752 from Kilkenny..... Michael Mahon
Love your videos.... our accent is identical.... very funny
@@davyholden
So your happy with Irish people occupying native peoples land
@@springer3783As happy as the natives were to take it from the tribes that lived there before
Humanity doesn't seem to stray away from banding over mother's wealth.
Omfg the "Yeah yeah" while breathing IN air was so on spot.
Been to Newfoundland once, and I swear it is just Ireland, but in Canada. It's fantastic, never have to even slightly think about if the person can understand my accent, it's just guaranteed they can.
Whats ya irish? I never been to ireland but i seen pictures of it, i cant say it looks like where im from

Shoutout pei our brothers 💯❤️

We do on the coast. Referring to the villiages south west of Labrador.
The "hyuh" on the inhale killed me. Perfect.
Blind boy has a podcast specifically on the topic of that sound! Pulmonary ingression. So so interesting
I love the breathe in sound after the positive affirmation 😂

I've been mistaken for a fellow Irishman by Irishmen on several occasions. This is accurate.

Deadly buddy!! The "yeah yeah yeah" might've been the most accurate part of all🤣 have a good one o' man!
Love the accents from Branch and other New Foundland towns. They have Waterford, Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Wexford accents.
Nice to get a mention from our cousins across the pond.
Cheers

Stick a Jamaican in there too, for a fun crossover.
Yup...lol
Cape Bretoner’s too! Most Cape Bretoner’s people came from Newfoundland…..from Ireland!❤Mine did
The “yeah, yeah” is so typical Newfoundlandeze. My family all came from the St. Mary’s Bay area and if I had a $1 for every time I heard that in a sentence, I’d be a millionaire many times over!
Loved it Davy! And yeah, you nailed it!
Irish + Scottish + “bai” = Newfie 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Had a similar conversation with a newfi about 25 years. Very confusing at the start, his accent sounded more Irish than my own. 😁😁
I’m from Ireland and i think this is hilarious
you put The Fables 'Heave away' on at a wedding and your aunts and uncles will take to the dance floor like birds in flight.
😂well done lad😂
Thank you 😂
They even preserved that breath in "yeah, yeah" 😆

The really weird thing is that I've been listening to Newfie accents all my life (Western Canadian here) and NEVER clued in to the fact that they sound alike. Now I can't unhear it!
I was watching something one day and suddenly realised it wasn't Ireland and they were not Irish 😂 it was set in Newfoundland.
Oh their Irish !!!! Just not living in Ireland!
@@Nicole-sd9xh Well the programme was Canadian ser in Newfoundland, I thought it was an Irish programme then realised it wasn't but the accent had me fooled for a few minutes.
oh the inhale on the “yeah, yeah” is dead on tho
This is awesome, so they all sound Irish? I live that. When can the rest of us come?
Bouye, ah bouye, oh yeah.. love newfie jokes.. Great place, great island, great great music! Celtic rocks!
Very good Davy!! 😁
Thank you 😂
My 3 times great granda on my father’s side emigrated to Canada around 1858 and my grandfather was raised in Nova Scotia. He had one hell of an accent 😂
Nova Scotian accents are different from Newfie and Irish.
How she too bye!??!😂😂, she goes ,she goes 😎
The inhale haha 😂

Clearly why Newfie was a stop for a generation for me great grandparents coming over from Ireland before landing in Massachusetts… 😂
My grandmother was the daughter of Irish immigrants to Newfoundland. From Munster/Waterford area.
I have Irish blood and I'm from Newfoundland

Do Freddy! I might have one myself too 😄
Good Ole newfie only good ones in the east eh
Just tell him you play hockey, not football... he'll get it.
