- Marjolein is a comedian from Shetland - a Scottish island known for it's tiny horses, and being quite remote. Marjolein gets lots of stupid questions from people when they find out she's from Shetland - including: Do you have internet? What's the best train to get to Shetland? Do you speak Gaelic? Is there anything to do on Shetland? This is her pet peeve - as there is so much to do on Shetland! But whatever you do, don't call Shetland 'The Shetlands' - or Marjolein might really lose her cool!
The way she says "grinds my gears" thooooo
bro did i just catch you simpin?
0:50 "Ah the Shetlands!" *Intense staring*
You can hear the same twang as icelandics have, so similar with the R's as well. Brilliant
She sounds very Scottish, but Norse influences are visible
not visible,audible
Ah! You're from the Shetlands? How wonderful, darling. It must be so warm and tropical! How idyllic!
great bants bruv
I ha'e m'doots in the winter
no
It's not tropical at all, It's cold and windy most of the time and I loved it there when I was a beiring!.
0:26 Not the busiest rave I've seen lol
No-one ever talks about the Shetland sheepdogs. I always imagine flocks of Shetland sheep dogs running over Shetland hills in search of sheep and dinner....but that's just me .
"Bonus word of the day: Orkney"
I love that accent, I’m from Ayrshire so we really don’t have much of an accent but I could listen to the Shetland accent all day every day
There is an Ayrshire dialect called Nardinish.
I like your videos. It's nice to see life in another small part of the world and you're funny! Keep them coming, the U.S. needs a good distraction....for about...3 years and 360 days.
It’s been a long wait but down to weeks now.
You forgot to mention one of the best museums in the world in Lerwick!
Pantera shirt wearing lasses, metal festival and the accent...will be there shortly 😂
Even after all these videos, I am not entirely sure Shetland exists.
I honestly hate those questions even though I'm in main Scotland now I will always keep my Shetland words never lose them it's been two years since I moved to main land Scotland and I still have my Shetlander ascent
Ah, so funny. I like your expressions.
Hjaltland(shetland) and Hjaltlandseyjar(Shetland islands) in icelandic :)
Orkney v Shetland is more of a contest than Scotland v England!
gmaccruyff55 yep
*insert drake meme here*
Hahaha
Orkney Any Day !
Its not a contest… SHETLAND SUPERIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m from Orkney, the question I get asked most now is, “Is Orkney like that Shetland show on the TV?”
maryavatar 😑😑😑
Lived here all my life, and I always say "The Shetlands"... Because I know it pisses people off, and it's hilarious! XD
"Aks" is fairly common in Black English of the southeastern US.
I heard that too but thought I'd imagined it.
Totally relatable!
1:06 relatable
*_BT PLEASE_*
I kid you not virtually immediately after I read your comment my internet crapped out, AND I USE BT TOO FFS hahahaha
'The Shetland Islands'
AAhh Apart from that! what have you goto do?
How much are cheap flights from Shetland to Bergen in winter?
Satwa Dude they are only in summer
Grappig! Saying it’s “Shetland”, not “the Shetlands”. But she should also say “the Netherlands” & not “Holland”. She should know! Her mother is Dutch, lol.
Fairly sure there was an SOS message in there somewhere.
Cool video .
Do you know where that outdoor swimming pool is?
Too funny. I'm a Canadian but our ancestral home is in Gletness.
love the Shetlands' accent.
How far is the Beach, can you walk there? Dave from Florida.
The norse name for Shetland was «hjaltland» hjalt is the part between the blade of a sword and the handle
thats right, some say hjalt also could of been what the norse called the natives
Do you have internet on Shetland? What happened to all the trees? Why are there so many rock walls and who stacked them? Do you have McDonald's fast food? Do you have seafood restaurants? When the Scottish spaceport is operational will you be able to see the rockets on their way to space? That's all the annoying questions I can think of so far....
It's not all about weather
You have gears?
Whats her name? Geez... im inlove.
Fan from Phils 🇵🇭
Shetlands great
Did you have a Shetland pony growing up ?
💀
Fuck I need to go to shetland , as an Irish man I feel I have more in common with them than mainland Scotland
I know that's Weird 🤣
Marjolein vaguely reminds me of my cousin, Morag
*OUTSTANDING* ....it would be double outstanding but for the bbc tag, man do i dislike that organization grrrr but *Shetland I love, nope make that double LOVE* ;-)
Have you met DS Tosh?

If ppl from Shetland are Shetlanders, then what are ppl from Orkney called?
Lovely accent
Do you have a pony?
"Aks"?

nice accent
shetlands orkney
I have a real para social relationship with you marjolein. Can i tell people that i have a friend in Shetland? Also can we hangout when or if i ever make it there?
I want to come visit. There is something very untamed about the Shetland isles. Something primordial that's right below the surface there's an old old energy to the place that I would love to tap into and see. This is coming from someone who lives in California LOL
Yeah I bet you would like to "tap" into that...
Married?
Is it shet though
So what's wrong with saying "the Shetlands"?
It's no the fuckin Shetlands it's Shetland haha that's like saying the Scotlands the England's haha
Too funny man 😂
Have you ever been to Hebride?
You kinda remind me of Marina Abramovic
Shetlands looks no bad
want all of the offspring
Sorry, but i fall in love with you...
What is there to do in shetland.....bump the life out you
A hope the flag went in the bonfire
Innse cat they would have spoken Gaelic in the islands at various hermitages.Even in the faroes and Iceland,the main language would hae been pictish. The norse influence was only for 600years ? According to the census over 50%!hae shetlaun dialect o Scots.
Why do you pronounce it as “ShAtlEnd” INSTEAD of ShEtlAnd”???!!!
You want NOT to sound like sh*tland, BUT, you make it like someone already DID Sh*t!!!
Feumaidh tu Gaidhlig ionnsachadh agus a' toiseachadh blas sothraichte dheth ann an Sealltainn..... You need to learn Gaelic and start up a Shetland dialect.......
Gaidhlig was widely spoken at the hermitages on innse cat ! Before the Norse invasions! Shetlaun a dialect o Scots is mainly now spoken in the eelans!the many writings of ogham depicts a Gaelic past!
@@grahamfleming9179 its alive and thriving in Glasgow too.
@@robertmacdonald1811 as it should, here in the borders there's about 7 or 8 groups
Would help if she was funny!
did you just said the shit lands ? xd
