The term "down town" comes from how cities were originally developed. They first were made by water (close to sea level), and progressively built further away from the water, gaining in elevation. Because of this, the 'main' area of the city was lower, so it was called down town.
@@Tash_ASMR There's also "uptown" which comes from the same thing regarding the water. Wealthy people lived up away from the waterways and the commerce, trade, and gathering, hence "uptown." Still used today to describe the richer neighborhoods
Australian here. For the most part, we follow the same language conventions and terms as the British, but we commonly refer to confectionary as "lollies" rather than "sweets". "Candy" is gradually creeping into the vernacular, however. The only other difference I can think of is the snackfood referred to as "crisps" in the UK but are called "chips" here, like they do in the US. Just to be confusing, we also call the things you have with fish "chips" and you have to use context to work out which one is being referred to. Here endeth the lesson.
For the diaper vs nappy it's the same answer for 99% of the differences between US and UK english. The US uses what the original pronunciation or word was and the UK changed it later and we either never got the memo or didn't care.
You were correct with sneakers. We sometimes call the shoes by the sport as well, or we call them tennis shoes, even though they may not be used for tennis.
please do more often of this kind of video , i love your accent and i really enjoy the information shared. i already repeatedly watch this video like 10+ times already 😂❤ hoping for more to comee
As a non-native English speaker I really love the sound of the British accent but I find the American version of words often more intuitive for some reason.
I’ve lived in both countries and I tend to agree that American words are much more intuitive. There are some exceptions like i think non-chocolate “sweets” being designated as something i like.
My country uses the Uk English but we also sometimes use US English words, it's weird. In spelling tests I would have trouble with words like "rumour", "favourite" etc. because they're spelt differently (no "u" in those words for US English) and I keep forgetting how it's usually spelt in my country (the UK English way).
I never knew that zucchini went by a different name in the UK, but it makes sense. Courgette is French, so it makes sense that the language would've made its way around Europe.
Sneakers is also a broad term in the US, meaning any athletic shoe, be it a cross trainer, tennis shoe, runner etc. I believe the term "sneaker" wasn't coined until 50s during the Korean war when the Chicom army wore them instead of boots so as to be stealthier. When you speak American accent you sound harsh but I think it's hot.
i read the word sneakers came about in USA 1880s from tennis shoes as they had a soft sole so children would sneak around, the word sneakers was then used in some advert to promote the soft soled tennis shoes
Some US cities do use "downtown" to mean the southern part of the city, and "uptown" for the northern part. It's used mostly in cities with gridded streets, like New York.
About the city center-downtown divergence: Philadelphia, the second-largest city in the northeastern US after New York, has its city center/downtown called Center City
We don’t call them sneakers where I live. We call them all tennis shoes but we say it super fast so it sounds like “tenashews” and this term covers any type of athletic shoes, other than cleats. Shoes for hiking, whether they are shoes or boots we just call them hiking boots. This is only where I live though , can’t say the same for other places, especially in the north
We have biscuits in America. But they’re not anything like cookies or what you call biscuits in Britain. Biscuits in the US are dry flaky bread roll looking things that you put stuff in between like a sandwich. And their usually eaten during breakfast
So as far as downtown is concerned, you’re not entirely wrong, but typically downtown refers to the old part of the city. At least it does where I’m from in the southeast of the US. For example, the entire city would be called Los Angeles, but like the old part of Los Angeles, where the main part of the city used to be would be called downtown. Really enjoyed the video though!
The words that I prefer (to use) VS [what sounds better] Zucchini [zucchini] Sneakers [trainers] Cookie [biscuit] pants [honestly neither] Diaper [meh] Sweets [candy] Holiday [Holiday] Popsicle [Popsicle] City Centre [Downtown]
In some parts of the US instead of sneakers we say Tennis shoes but because of the regional accent I always thought they were called Tenner shoes until I actually saw the word written down. I still say tenner shoes because that is my accent.
I understand everything you say but I personally believe that if an American and a British meet they will understand eachother easily and that makes kind of funny and strange at the same time, at least for me, don't get me wrong...😅😂
Thank you TH-cam recommendations for this! After the daughter is all tucked in and sleeping tonight I will listen to this and get some much needed good sleep aswell ^^
Los Angeles is actually the worst example for downtown, although there is one, LA is so spread out that its just a tiny part of the city. Nobody actually goes there unless your going to staples or you work there
Wait.... Moms in the uk give there kids money for sweets? My mom used to give me money to go buy her ciggeretts and not buy me no sweets for doing it 😂😂😂
1) US version 2) UK version 3) US version 4) US version 14:38 ❤ 5) UK version 6) US version 19:26 ❤️ 🍫 version 7) US version 8) UK version “ice-balls” 😂 9) US version
@@Tash_ASMR I teach English to French students in France and basically anything related to cuisine - a French word - is French. There is a plethora of words used in both languages. Ditto with Spanish, they also use words such as postpone - postponer which literally means put off to a later date. Interestingly zucchini is the Italian word for courgette.
personally i’ve never heard someone called shoes “sneaks” (i’ve lived in many places like florida, wisconsin, virginia, california) so just curious where you hear people call them this?
If you place the mics up higher you won’t have to hunch over to speak into the mics. This will save your neck and back and help your posture in the long run.
British implies it's including words from Scotland and Wales in which I don't include in this video as I am English saying words spoken in england specifically in comparison to adapted version of English spoken in the US 😊
As a northern English Canadian i can say that some of these comparisons you have here are not exactly the same thing, for example one being a cookie and a biscuit are different things and not different words for the same thing, just saying. Good video however.
Does your last name happen to be Marquitte or smth along the lines of that because I’ve got a friend who has family in Britain who looks exactly like you.
I think ive finally figured out that people from cali just talk like condescending annoying versions of the brits. Just without the pronunciation of letters, because both tend to sound there words outt longer

Vernacular is my word of the day 👍
Yeah we are pretty similar 😊
We say Zucchini in Australia
if in doubt, "hot chips" or "potato chips"
This is so incredibly tingly. The ear to ear factors along with natural mouth sounds from up close whispering and hand sounds just keeps me tingling ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!😁💖
I’m lowkeyly geeked rn

Geeked asl

This is so good, I love that you did the American accent in full sentences too.
Thank you so much ☺️
If there is at least one thing in this world that we certainly do not lack, it is bosom in thumbnails 😄
So many of em lol
The thumbnail is a language everyone can speak
i like the back & forth between accents when comparing the words

American english is typically a more dumbed down or more literal way of speaking english…sometimes :P
@@MR.Amberryyeah just dumbed down because the us is basically just a dumbed down uk
@@MR.AmberryThat’s funny, because in the U.S. we view British English as super proper, formal, and fancy lol
I’ve lived in both countries and I tend to agree that American words are much more intuitive. There are some exceptions like i think non-chocolate “sweets” being designated as something i like.

Funny how the first example you chose is actually Italian v French and by the way as an Engish person i prefer Courgette. 😊
Yeah so many words crossover languages! Interesting right 😊
Wow, first time you've been rec'd to me and already you're finger flutters are tingling me up! 😌 subbed 👍

Great Video! I feel like your American accent whispering sounds a bit like the Asmr Darling. Top Tier Whispering for sure!!
Thank you so much! ☺️✌️
Both nappy and diaper are from Old French. Nappy is a play on the word “napkin” and diaper comes from the Old French word meaning “ornamental cloth”
So helpful for us, non-native speakers!❤❤❤
✌️☺️
We have biscuits in America. But they’re not anything like cookies or what you call biscuits in Britain. Biscuits in the US are dry flaky bread roll looking things that you put stuff in between like a sandwich. And their usually eaten during breakfast
Ah yes your biscuits you have at breakfast we call English muffins 😋
@@Tash_ASMR Yeah it’s something similar to an English muffin

Nappy is probably related to the words napkin and apron- it's like a towel. Diaper sounds like it could be somebody's name.
