+Emma Lillian Over here (South Africa) we say it to mean "yeah, things are bad... urgh... but, no, what can you do?" "yeah, nah, that's bad", or "yeah, nah, that's just the way it is" in Afrikaans, not English ("Ja, nee")
I wouldn't really call that subtle. But lets be honest, to a Melbournian hipster, fine dining can exist no-where else... unless it's in some un-heard of Italian village.
Funny!!! Reminds me of an Aussie woman who worked in my boozer in Kensington, London years ago - she answered any question with either "Shit yeah" or "Shit nah".
She obviously wan't very convinced, or you would've heard "fucken, oath!" (generally this ends in an attempt at a handshake or high five, but i've noticed Brits get confused at this point).
This is hilarious, the bit about Shakespeare had me in stitches! It's weird because in England we have the same regional differences with the pronunciation of the same words, such as "bath" and "chance" etc. Basically, Southerners have always pronounced them in the same way as the Aussies in Adelaide but Northerners have always pronounced them in the same way as everyone else, with the "short A"! Also, do you also have "Question Time" in Australia?
Our version is called Q & A but it has the same premise. "Question Time" for us would refer to Question Time in Parliament. To add to the "bath" split between north and south in England, Australian English takes some pronunciations from both. For example, we say "grass" and "bath" like Southerners, but "dance" and "answer" like Northerners.
irresponsibledad Thanks for the info. This is all interesting to me, I would love to visit Australia when I find the money for the flights of course! :P
Parliamentary question time was truly Aussie when ex PM Paul Keating graced the hallowed halls of our Parliament. He was a master of Aussie slang and insults
Simon was one of the best comedians we ever had on our show! His bit on Australian accents was an absolute hit. LOL to the little dance at the end with our host Aaron and Simon. Great moves, both of you ;)
I'm from Adelade and wish to take this free-settled chaaarrrrnce to say that this is hilariously accurate. Fine dining restaurants LOL. Very coo Simon!. (because we swallow the L at the end of 'cool').
That's what he meant when he said Adelaide is made up of "free settlers". Meaning they weren't shipped there as convicts basically on death row like other parts of Australia, they were from Britain and willingly came over some time after the convicts. Hence they kept some British pronunciations of stuff. Or as it was so elegantly put, "freemans have educations, convicts talk shit" (or as my dad's college prof from Adelaide said when we visited him in Canberra, they don't have "convict blood")
Australia kept a lot of the new pronunciation like the way you guys say ask like us and bath you say it barth like the way we do I just think those changes to dance and chance are more modern and took more time to change
I live in South Australia and come from Melbourne. People looked at me strangely because of my accent. This guy is spot on about the Adelaide pommie pronunciation lol
YHID THIS... IS THE VIDEO... THAT GOT ME INTO BIG LEZ. I clearly remember typing in "awww yeah naanaa yeaahh" in the search bar soon after he said it, I don't even think I got through the whole video, LOL.
How about the annoying Melbourne accent, swapping al for el and vice versa. The other day in Malbourne I was listening to Alvis Presley elbums on my belcony and around twalve o'clock I saw a halicopter over the elps, chasing a yallow car down Elfred St, I think it was a Felcon, you know, the car Ellen Moffat drove? I turned on the tAlevision and Alton John was being interviewed by Allen Degeneres. The Chemist Warehouse ad came on where that woman goes on about Alderbree (Elderberry) and how it halps you get halthy.
Adelaide was never on my radar before I stumbled on RackaRacka. What a funny accent! And here I thought Perth took the cake, but Adelaide is somehow weirder...
I think we do say chance differently. To my mind, we say chance and dance with a long 'a' (as in "argon") rather than a short 'a' (as in 'apple'), so we tend to say "charnce". I reckon.
Bob The Tree Some people do though, there’s variation. Not just in Adelaide, some people in Melbourne for example say chahhnce, even if the majority don’t.

My favorite Australian word is "no", because it contains every vowel in English.
"Naeiour"
naota3k yeah we are using every vowel we can pronounce to make rejections
Florence Huang it’s like emphasising something is *absolutely* out of question
There are also no pies. Only 'pwoiahs'
That depends if you actually enunciate it correctly lots dont and drag it far to long losing the O sound
I love how Aussie comedians are always taking the piss out of Australians 😂
+trippleblah we like to self defecate
Deprecate
+trippleblah Same in Britain
hahahahaha self defecate
hahahahahahahahahah im shitting myself
Whenever I'm bored I just watch videos of people making fun of Adelaide. Warms my heart to know they think of us at all 😂
@Lonely Traveller Adelaide is like a very big small town
You and Hobart
Full Frontal always took the piss out of Adelaide
Hahahahaha true that
I live in Melbourne but come from South Australia. People look at me strangely because of my accent. Now I get it. Yeah nah.
haha didnt even realise how weird 'yeah nah' was until going overseas and people not understanding me
+Emma Lillian Over here (South Africa) we say it to mean "yeah, things are bad... urgh... but, no, what can you do?" "yeah, nah, that's bad", or "yeah, nah, that's just the way it is" in Afrikaans, not English ("Ja, nee")
Paul Lombard interesting.. i dont really understand why we say it
***** oh in india with tourists and indians
What does yeah nah mean? Lol
+Marlon Areas it's like "i agree, no..." and then you kinda carry on with your sentence. Sorry idk if I explained it well haha. We also say "nah yeah"
yeah nah = no
nah yeah = yes
Réti my take on it, yah nah = yeah i understand you and no it's not happening. Nah yeah = nah, it's alright. Lol
It's funny because Californians are known for doing that too lol
Réti yeah nah yeah= yes
Yeah nah=no
Get it right
Haha. I think we do this in dutch too. In some situations of course.
This is so confusing lol....I love aussies
I'm not even Australian and this is hilarious. I laughed till I cried.
Very true to the culture - An Australian
Your Australian LMAO
We didn't have convicts...but...they do have ferals, LOL!
Subtle digs at Adelaide are the best subtle digs
I wouldn't really call that subtle. But lets be honest, to a Melbournian hipster, fine dining can exist no-where else... unless it's in some un-heard of Italian village.
Those aren't subtle 😂😂😂😂
Funny!!! Reminds me of an Aussie woman who worked in my boozer in Kensington, London years ago - she answered any question with either "Shit yeah" or "Shit nah".
She obviously wan't very convinced, or you would've heard "fucken, oath!" (generally this ends in an attempt at a handshake or high five, but i've noticed Brits get confused at this point).
If she said kn oath , she was from western Sydney or New Castle...
I am an Adelaidian and I love this man's impersonation of us Adelaide folk! He's so accurate!
LOL I am an adelaidian and I laughed my ass of
haha same
I love Adelaide so much and I miss it so.
PurpleLavenderWitch We da best.
HAHAHAHA same XD
Do they have internet in Adelaide? Or did u watch this on Tele?
This video blew my mind. I always wondered why I said some things in a British way.
Whelp.
Guess now I know.
Adelaide did this to meeeeE.
As a South Aussie, this pretty much hit the nail on the head
This is hilarious, the bit about Shakespeare had me in stitches! It's weird because in England we have the same regional differences with the pronunciation of the same words, such as "bath" and "chance" etc. Basically, Southerners have always pronounced them in the same way as the Aussies in Adelaide but Northerners have always pronounced them in the same way as everyone else, with the "short A"!

And in Adelaide, they for L, they say il not el
+TheInvisibleCo I've lived in Adelaide my entire life and I've never heard anyone use the "il" pronounciation. Friends, family or academics.
irresponsibledad Thanks for the info. This is all interesting to me, I would love to visit Australia when I find the money for the flights of course! :P
Parliamentary question time was truly Aussie when ex PM Paul Keating graced the hallowed halls of our Parliament. He was a master of Aussie slang and insults
Whenever I'm sad
Just watch videos of "Australian" accents 😂😂
As currently living in Adelaide, I think that's hillarious.
Yeahnah?! Haha. In South Africa we say "Janee" - Yes No. Love it.
Simon was one of the best comedians we ever had on our show!
His bit on Australian accents was an absolute hit.
LOL to the little dance at the end with our host Aaron and Simon. Great moves, both of you ;)
I LAUGHED WAY TOO HARD AT THIS! SO ACCURATE!
First aussie accent video i've watched which is so accurate!
Your "yeah nah" joke is the best shit ive ever heard. needs more recognition.
OMG i use Scarnon all the time!
Next time I want to dine out, I'll head to a Petrol Station....Pepsi and sandwiches are on me!!
Loved the bell curve, surprisingly accurate :)
It's funny coz it's true, he just forgot to say "fucken" before yeah nahh yeah nahh
I'm from Adelade and wish to take this free-settled chaaarrrrnce to say that this is hilariously accurate. Fine dining restaurants LOL. Very coo Simon!. (because we swallow the L at the end of 'cool').
This is just too beautiful, dying here.
Is that what my people sound like to everyone else? I can't hear my accent. Everyone says I have a damn good aussie accent. I can't hear it though!
Same with me
Same
Same
anderson triggered!!
I record myself talking, then compare it to an emercian accent (off of TH-cam or whatever) and you will hear it extremely clearly
I’m Australian and he got everything spot on
This guy is fucking hilarious and on point with the accents
Yeah nah means no, Nah yeah means yes.
I am from London and I say "chance" and "dance" the same way people from Adelaide do.
+Nicholas Egan
Bullshit.. It's coz freemen have educations. Convicts talk shit & think they're Muricun.
That's what he meant when he said Adelaide is made up of "free settlers". Meaning they weren't shipped there as convicts basically on death row like other parts of Australia, they were from Britain and willingly came over some time after the convicts. Hence they kept some British pronunciations of stuff. Or as it was so elegantly put, "freemans have educations, convicts talk shit" (or as my dad's college prof from Adelaide said when we visited him in Canberra, they don't have "convict blood")

Adelaide was settled the same year as Melbourne.
depends which part of London you from. I'm from Islington but live in Melbourne and sound like the biggest Ozzie bogan ever (I think)
I did notice a decent sized Feral population in Adelaide hanging around Rundle Mall.
AWESOME!!😂😂😂
First time I've seen this😂😂🧡👍🇭🇲
I love being Australian
Never gets old 😂😂😂
Yeh nah that was funny mate
because of this video, I now often say in text to my friends, scarnon?
I've had to explain it to all of them hahah
Im an adelaidean and i say dance not dance like brittish. but everything else pretty much right
I live in South Australia and come from Melbourne. People looked at me strangely because of my accent. This guy is spot on about the Adelaide pommie pronunciation lol
Our New Host!!!!
Speaking of language efficency in USA...
what is going on? -- is commonly use as WHASUP! and
How do you do? -- in most of southern USA use as HOWDY!
lol globistaion has a lot of impact I saw "whasup" more than "hangin"
This is great😂👍
YHID
THIS... IS THE VIDEO... THAT GOT ME INTO BIG LEZ. I clearly remember typing in "awww yeah naanaa yeaahh" in the search bar soon after he said it, I don't even think I got through the whole video, LOL.
dude is hysterical!!!
And the call bloody Lego...Laygo!!!
This is too accurate lmfao
It's called LIVE ON BOWEN, and you can watch eps on TH-cam!
Yeah im from adelaide. We argue with the east coast about pronoucing things.
:D That was hilarious and helpful
I've died laughing.
this is very helpful
Funny Dude !
i was honestly nervous that simon was gonna get totally rejected by that guy at 2:57
Effin hilarious :)
I didn’t even realise how weird yeah nah was until I went to Ireland to visit family and they were like what the actual fuck do you mean
This guy is hilarious
I'm from Adelaide lol too true
we have "yeah no" in New England, is that the US version of "yea nah?" lmao
Nah yeah
Basically
LOL!
Crack me up!
Yeah nah = no, nah yeah = yes :) onya straya

I fu@&ing love that guy I know how I sound half the time now haha
so good!!! hahaha
HILARIOUS!
yeah nah heaps hectic brah
very funny and very true...
Couldn't swallow my drink! I had to pause the video so it wouldn't come out or anything (as weird as that sounds)!
They say we get our accents from song birds. Australia's crows, galahs and kookaburras are ours.
defs gulity of "yeh, nah" haha
I love how it’s been years yet the majority of comments are from South Australians like: ‘yeah nah, that’s fair mate’
Melbourne Australia🇦🇺 #REPRESENT!
1:48 scotland dose the same we say sapnin normally would be what is happening
yeah, roight. (from Adelaide)
lol he got Adelaide right on
I think I'll start saying chance like Adeladians now, I like it a bit better.
...other people would they were a "doushe" because of their own prejudices. Yeah, I agree :)
hilarious!
As an Adelaidian I can confirm
Kerri Doherty sent me here, and this was cool.
Love posh accents
People from Adelaide don’t sound ‘posh’😂 they sound very much Australian..except for “Chance” and “plant.” Hilarious though
you are funny mate
Fucking hell this was great
🤣🤣🤣 yee naha... mateee
god i never realize us from Adelaide said chance differently
Adelaide was never on my radar before I stumbled on RackaRacka. What a funny accent! And here I thought Perth took the cake, but Adelaide is somehow weirder...
I think we do say chance differently. To my mind, we say chance and dance with a long 'a' (as in "argon") rather than a short 'a' (as in 'apple'), so we tend to say "charnce". I reckon.
I'm Spanish and I had to replay the "scarr-non" part because I didnt' get it at all. xD
Almostttt got left hanging
he looks lebanese
Danny Jaber point?
Half Italian
Have watched it 6 times now and lmao every time. We are unique beings. Is yeah nah in the dictionary yet?
LOL
I went to South Australia!Gosh! I meet only Italians !
Lol I live in south Australia and my family is Italian 😂
Yeah, I got it at the second time I played it. :)
So funny
What is the background music???
Difference is literally just "Ä" or "A"
that bell curve joke...i'm dying
Schrodinger's Cat To me that one right before posh sounded American.
In Adelaide we pronounce chance like “ch ah nce” but we don’t pronounce dance like you said.
Bob The Tree Some people do though, there’s variation. Not just in Adelaide, some people in Melbourne for example say chahhnce, even if the majority don’t.
