Me neither (not either). And howdy is more like how y'all doin. "Howdy" and 'how do" is more Hollywoods version of Texas jargon from the old Western movies.
Texas has roughly 6 main accents. I grew up in West Texas where Spanish has a strong influence. There are words in my vocabulary that people from the eastern part of the state have never heard.
I’ve lived in west TX my whole life, I recently found out we have a Texan accent 😅 my son’s online friend from the east coast told my son that he has a TX accent, I honestly never realized it until now, I told my husband about it and he said yeah it’s the dropping of letters at the end like what you mentioned “walkin” and how we put all our sentences together 😂 walkinmadog. When you live here all your life I guess you never realize it 😊❤
Hi. I just learn English in Hungary. I use it all day, but only in written. Somebody shared your video in FB, in an English school-s group. Your videos are the first what I can understand perfectly without any dictionary. Or words what I not understand, you explain fine. Talking speed is good for beginners to understand too. In most videos people talking too fast for beginners. Also you choose topics well. I would like to see more videos like the "rest area" was. It was not only practical, but easier to pay attention because you are in a real place what are you talking about. Thank you! :-)
Thank you for the nice comments and I am glad you enjoyed the video. I will continue to put together videos. Be sure to spread the words and tell others about the channel.
I grew up in Northeast Texas. We never said "howdy". We said "hidey" as a greeting. We did say, "boy howdy" as an exclamation. For example, "Boy howdy, that's a fancy car!"
Lifelong Houstonian here, really enjoyed this video. Your speech pattern is a soothing pace, reminds me of Mr. Rogers. I'm 52 and have never said "howdy" outside of a joking manner. I said "guys" more than "y'all" until a few decades ago. Dropping the g as in "fixin' ta" = "fixing to" as in "preparing to".
Howdy Y'all We are from bavaria (Germany). I am follower number 280 and my buddies are follower number 281 to 283. We find your videos very helpful and great. I was in Texas in 1989 for tree weeks. Dallas to Chopus Christi - Aransas Pass. My uncle lived there. I visited the Alamo and Luckenbach and the German area Friedricksburg, and a bar at Bandera, El Paso and Laredo, Austin and so on. I lost my heart on the lone star state. In Germany I am a driver on a semitrailer. You know : truck drivers are the move of the nation. My buddies and I hope you give us a lot of videos in the future. So I want to say thanks for all and see you soon.
Howdy! Thanks for the kind words and message, it reinforces that my videos are helping people, and that is what my purpose is. It encourages me to continue with what I am doing. I am glad you had the opportunity to visit the USA and Texas and glad you enjoyed it. Fredericksburg is one of my favorite places to visit! I have never been to Germany, but maybe one day I will get the opportunity. Take care and Merry Christmas!
th-cam.com/video/CurDi33WoaE/w-d-xo.html That's an old town near my home. If you visit Germany you have to see Rothenburg. th-cam.com/video/-epjEP84Luk/w-d-xo.html and with this video you can practice your Spanish language. Enjoy it.
Texan sounds nice and interesting, it's got character. It'll perhaps make it easier to catch some American accent at all with wich I struggle. Texan then seems the doors to the American accent acquisition to me. Many thanks !
Thank you for your useful video! I am here in Texas just over a year and still struggle with thick accent of Southern American as well as daily phrases that are not taught in the book . Hope you can show more videos about daily topics like fixing the house, doing garden, maintaining the car, talking on telephone, talking about events just happened on TV, …
"How-ya doin'" or "Howz-it goin'" is more common than "howdy". Tonight is more like "t'nignt" dropping the "o" . I never thought about other Americans not saying "yeah" or "uh huh" as a reply meaning "Yes, I heard you". "Ain't" is a lot like "howdy", rarely hear it unless someone is being sassy/slang though I'm from Houston where "ain't" is considered uneducated. I love that you included pissed off. 😂 Also include "tell off" as angry.
Here's a couple more tips. Texans use vowels in a completely different way. In words like might, night, right the I is long like myt. In the word can't the a is long but want and won't sound the same. Yesterday is yesterdee like Mondee, Tuesdee and so forth.
Lots of folks have a draw depending on age and area. I believe that the draw comes from a stiff jawed skowed down English accent. Anyways that what i heard. My favorite texas accent was my siblings dad. He was from castrovile and had the old Alsasion accent. Kinda french, kinda German, and kinda english, his was all Cowboy.
@@learneverydayenglish The Flash’ Actor Grant Gustin’s wife also Sabahan! Cool ! Hahaha I wish I could pass a doctor's license（USMLE ）and go to America!
This is about an iconic figure through the history. Just like think about Spartans and don't see a farmer, but a warrior. A lot of warriors and a lot of cowboys and farmers. Yeeeehaaaaah!!!
You literally showed everything that everyone already knows and in fact you mentioned a lot of phrases that many people from other areas even outside of the United States use. I like dough. Dough is literally used everywhere. I’ve travel to plenty of other states and even other countries and they use it the same way for the same meaning. Same for other words like well of and pissed of.
Hello, thanks for the message and question! A drawl is when a person speaks slowly or slower than is normal. A twang is associated with the specific sound of the voice, when there is a more “nasal” sound or sound from the nose. Hope that helps! Good question!
Howdy! Remember me? I have some questions regarding Texas accent/slang. What does 'dagger fries' means? And is it true that 'place' is "an undefined parcel of property often preceded by a proper noun to provide definition, as in 'the Johnson place'. Not to be confused with the English slang "place" meaning residence, as in 'my place' or 'your place'." I would be so thankful if you can help me! :)
Howdy! To be honest, I have not heard of the expression "dagger fries". It could be something used in a specific part of the country or state. Where did you hear or see this expression used or referenced? Yes, we do use place in the format you reference, like "the Johnson place", although it isn't used by all or lot of people. It is more of an informal saying and used more in the countryside or small rural cities. The phrase "the Johnson place" signifies "the Johnson homestead" or the land and houses where the Johnson family lives or lived. Hope that helps!
@@greadore Heard the phrase 'dagger fries' from a short film. Maybe i misheard it or something. Anyway, I appreciate your fast reply! Thank you so much.
Just for your information not all Texan’s have a southern accent, own several firearms, drive a pickup truck, walk around with a cowboy hat and chew tobacco. There are lots of Texans who live in the larger cities who are nothing like this.
I've never said YeeHaw ... born and raised here 54 years .... But I do have 3 pickups
Me neither (not either). And howdy is more like how y'all doin. "Howdy" and 'how do" is more Hollywoods version of Texas jargon from the old Western movies.
And contrary to popular belief not all Texans were cowboy hats and own cows.
@@deborahfenley5825 .....Oh, i got cows !
Never met a texan that uses yeehaw....and I've met a lot of texans. 😂
As someone who's not from Texas and is making a Texan character, this is really helpful. Thanks
I’m from Texas, and you peaked my interest! What character are you building?
@@damitraduncan7723 He's a motel owner in his 50's.
I'm a Texan and he is accurate in terms of shortin up the sentence.
The first and most effective series on Southern accent. Thank you sir
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Texas has roughly 6 main accents. I grew up in West Texas where Spanish has a strong influence. There are words in my vocabulary that people from the eastern part of the state have never heard.
In Texas, we say haha at that hat! That ain't cowboy, buddy, that's narco.
Texan accent is so adorable ! I love Georgie’s accent from young Sheldon ❤
It's "adorable" in the same way Edward Norton's character was in The Score.
