🇨🇦Question of the Day: What is your favourite thing about Canada? 🇨🇦 My answer: As a Canuck, my favourite thing about my country is our multiculturalism. It is great to be able to 'travel the world' without leaving my country. When people immigrate to Canada, they bring something from their culture and add it to Canada's culture. I also enjoy the freedom that we have to be true to ourselves and be able to express ourselves how we wish. What do you love about my country?
add to the scenery and hypnotizing wildlife, I love the Canadian cities! they're so calm, beautiful, liveable and movie-like! It looks like everything and everyone is saying to you "Just give'er!" or "Be calm and enjoy your short life!" Someone should have lived in a crowded, noisy city with everyday kerfuffle, then s/he would had clean eyes to see mellow and real life in Canadian cities.
@@afshinbnd7041 Thanks for your comment. I also love Canadian scenery and wildlife, although I live in the Six which is the biggest city in Canada so I can't always enjoy nature as much as I'd like. Thanks for the reminder to get out of the big city and enjoy my country more.
Thank you for your nice comment, Sakura! 🌸😃 (Actually, my whole channel is full of English lessons to help people improve their language skills, but I've also made a few lessons like this one to teach a little bit about my country too. Thanks for watching 🇨🇦💕 )
When I came to Canada, first thing that makes me happy it was how Canadian people are polite. Every one says thanks or sorry with out no reasson. If you want to get in somewhere the person in your front holding the door and he is welcoming to you to get in to.I love Canada.
Thanks for your comment. A few of the words I didn't realize were slang either until I was teaching English in Japan and spoke with native speakers from other countries, and they looked at me like I had two heads. 😆 (However, I did the same with my Australian friends in Japan too sometimes) 😅
That is true. I did best to include only examples that I actually hear people use, and also tried to include some from various parts of Canada. Thanks for watching. ☺️
I was just telling my daughter that the hoodie she was wearing today is called a bunny hug. She loves that slang and will use it all the time now. My favorite thing about Canada is how unified, polite and peaceful we are as a people! I couldn't be prouder to be a Canadian!!
As a Canadian I love everything about Canada, especially multiculturalism, universal healthcare, and how clean, well maintained and orderly most every place and thing is. There are plenty more things you could still add yet. Especially when you get in to more regional expressions. There is poutine, b’y, how’s she goin’, fish plastic, how are ya now, caper, iron cow, and others.
I'm from AB and have gone to the maritimes in the past on vacation and it's always interesting to hear the differences in slang from province to province. I had never heard of a bunny hug until I went to Saskatchewan for hockey one time.
@@JeNsJyugyouHere in the US, we do not think canadians are very nice. canadians are outwardly reserved and polite to people's faces but i have never met bigger assholes in my life. we hate canadians down here. we really do. you might be nice but canadians are not well liked.
Thank you so much Jen! Your videos are extremely informative and tell a lot about Canada. Just the type of information/knowledge I was looking forward to have so that I could get to know more and more about Canadian way of life. I am so glad I came across one of your videos and now I promise to watch everyone of your videos. Thank you very much.
Hello Om 🤗. It is great to hear from you. Thank you for your lovely comment and kind word ☺️. I am really glad to know that you enjoyed this lesson about Canada 🇨🇦. Take care 😎.
@@RockinJason360Productions Good day there Jason . It's because of where in Canada yous from . I'm a Maritimer , and we don't say a lot of these either . I think these are maybe a lot of Ontario Canadian slang . Yous gotta figure , we are bigger then most , what . Accents and slang will change from coast to coast eh :)
I love how Canadian is so friendly, I love the accent it is elonquently ! and whenever I speak with Canadian accent I can feel more comfortable and I can understand properly Canadian speaking Believe in yourself just give'er !❤
My son is currently studying in your great country Canada. The slang words use in Canada will be very helpful for us. God bless you with His special blessings.
That's awesome, Naeemullah 😎 Despite the current situation caused by the pandemic, I hope your son is enjoying his time here in Canada. 🇨🇦 Which part of the country is he studying in?✨
From a proud Canadian living in the U.K you put a smile on my face today. You are so cute and a great representative of our wonderful country. Canadians are wonderful people and I can't wait to return home to retire next year.
😊 Thanks for watching and for your kind comment 🇨🇦. I really want to travel to the UK sometime; I think living there must be lovely🤗. I wish you all the best with the rest of your time there and your upcoming retirement ✨.
Was talking with an American at one point, and he was confused as to why I would use the word "Canuk". He said in America, that's a derogatory word for a Canadian. Lol I laughed. I said, "It's ok, Yankee."
Thanks for your extremely kind comment, Caya 🤗. I am incredibly glad to hear that you have such a great impression of my country and fellow Canadians 🇨🇦🤩.
I'm American. I found your videos trying to teach my kids about money outside the US. We call soft drinks in Colorado, pop too. But I've heard soda in other places. In New Mexico people call it a Coke, no matter the brand. I'm from the Southwest, so the South, East, Midwest and West have regional dialects and accents that differ from where I am. All the rest was intriguing to watch. I learned a lot.
Tim Hortons is my favorite thing about Canada. Anytime I visit, I search out a Timmies, and because there's one on every other corner, they aren't hard to find. I love Timmies coffee. Starbucks sucks by comparison!
That was an excellent loon call. I always enjoy learning new things that I didn't know as far as Canadian slang goes, especially considering I've lived in Ontario for 30 years. Molson Muscle got me, I'd never heard that and I was laughing about it.
It was such a surprise for me, you´re very kind and didactic JeN! I didn't know any canuck slang and now I master 26 at once, thanks to yu. Great! Now I´m your fan. Thanks!
I love Canada because of: Moose, Supernatural, Vancouver, the sound of the Canadian slang, the culture (you say "I'm sorry" very often) and the way you're seeing other people (in my opinion, you are kinder than Americans while talking to foreign people)
And thank you so much for creating this video!! I will be learning so much from you.....its like an ocean of knowledge and I can't wait to explroe them all.
Thanks for your watching and subscribing. 🤗 I hope you will find the English lessons on my channel useful. 🌸 I don't speak Japanese in any of my videos anymore, (but I keep studying Japanese because I love Japan). 😉
I've noticed a lot of Canucks say beauty and sketchy. It seems beauty is something good or a good situation, and sketchy is something bad or a questionable situation. "That looks sketchy, eh?"
Thanks for your comment. That is so true! I personally don't use 'beauty' in slang, but many Canadians do use it in the way that you have mentioned. I am not sure if saying something is 'sketchy' is unique to Canucks or not, but I use it all the time! The way you've used it is perfect. 👍🏻☺️
Any Australian would understand this as well... we'd probably say.."You Beauty" - However Beauty would sound more like Beaudy'... and That looks a bit.. Sketchy.. is very understandable....
Hello Chris. Thanks for your comment. I hope that both you and your daughter are doing well during these unprecedented times and that once this is behind us, you can enjoy being reunited. Take Care. 💐
This is a nice show☺︎I'm a Japanese girl who is living in the Six now.I wanna speak more like a Canuck.This is helping me a lot.Love your talking and smiling. What I love the most in Canada is Summer time.Everybody is smiling, happy and great weather in a park,eh?That's I really love so.Thanks!
Thank you for your comment.🥰 I'm so happy to hear that you've been enjoying your time here in Canada and Toronto. ☺️ Summer is the best season. 👍🏻 I hope that you are staying safe and healthy during this time and that you still continue to enjoy your time here in the Six. 🇨🇦
One of my favorite things about Canada is your videos. Even though I have been Canadian all my life I learn new things from your videos. I have never heard the slang for Toronto or the term just give’er. I agree the scenery, the wildlife and the multiculturalism are some of our best features. People who live here and people who visit should spend some time in the National Parks to really enjoy the country.
Haha, thanks so much for your comment! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. In addition to The Six, other nicknames for Toronto include T-Dot, The Big Smoke, and Hogtown. I think that which nickname people use depends on their generation. I used to call Toronto T-Dot, but then Drake made the nickname The Six more popular and that's what most people I know seem to use now. As for Give'er, this Canadian slang was more popular in central Canada and has since spread because it was used in several movies and TV shows. I've heard it used many times, but don't personally use it. Anyways, I agree that people should visit Canada's national parks to enjoy Canada's nature. Do you have a favourite national park?
My favorite thing about Canada? That's a difficult question to answer because I like many things about Canada! I like the beautiful land, the kind people, great fishing, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Paul Bunyan's French-Canadian heritage, and last but not least, the use of "eh" in everyday conversation. I live in Minnesota and say it often too. So there's many things to like about Canada, eh? Thanks for the informative video, Jen!
My favourite thing about Canada is being proud Canadian and being treated so well by people when I travel outside the country , we are honoured to be considered a good country , Thank you,!,,be calm be kind and be safe
8:42 The greater Coachella valley region of southern California, consisting of the cities of Palm Springs, Indio, and Palm Desert, is a popular snowbird destination near the seaside megacity of Los Angeles.
This is such an adorable video. Reminds me of my Australian coworker who had just arrived in Canada about a week earlier. I said I had to go to the bank to get some loonies and toonies and she thought I was making some weird joke. I had never really considered how goofy it sounded. Also, The fact that you included "give'er" is hilarious to me. I'm wondering if "T-dot" is completely extinct now. I don't say "the Six" because I'm not a Drake fan. Guess I'll stick with "Tronnuh" hehe
Hi Sakura 🌸 I'm so happy to hear that this video has made you interested in coming to Canada. 😎🤗 I hope that once the situation with COVID19 becomes more stable, that you'll be able to enjoy a trip here 🇨🇦✨
I became your fan, a huge fan of yours right at the first time I saw you which was on this video! You are simply awesome! What a great video, eh!!? What an incredible content!! What I love the most about Canada is the fact that there are road signs and street signs in both English & French everywhere and also the fact that the country is bilingual, speaking the most stylish languages of the world the ones I already stated and being multicultural as well and having trains all over the nation to travel nationwide & even to the universe! What a nice country!! Hi from Brazil!! J'aime anglais et français et je parle les deux langues couramment! La musique canadienne est aussi ma préférée. I love CD, ST, BA, AM and many others! Try to guess what and who they are!! CD is from Charlemagne (Québec), ST is from Windsor and she was raised in Timmins (Ontario), BA is from Kingston (Ontario) and AM is from Ottawa (National Capital). Hi from Brazil again! Salut du Brésil à nouveau!
Hello Fernando ☺️ Thank you for your encouraging and very detailed comment. It is also nice to hear that you like Canadian music. 🎼 I don't hear that so often, and usually not from someone in Brazil! 😁 I was going to leave your Canadian music challenge for someone else to solve, but I think I'll try and guess. Are your favourite musicians Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams, and Alanis Morissette? 🇨🇦
Hi Charley ☺️. Thanks for watching and for your nice comment 🇨🇦🌸. Since you mentioned you're learning English, I think you might find this video here especially helpful: th-cam.com/video/xpifJO8mxFE/w-d-xo.html 🤗
What about a "dep" for a corner store. Im Canadian and I didn't know half of these terms because many of them are provincially based and not national, so id say "dep" as in depaneur is a good one. Also, considering Molson, is from Montreal, id have heard the term, but ive never heard that "Molson muscle" in my life.
Hi Justin. 🇨🇦 Thanks for your comment and for adding some new slang, "Dep" for dépanneur (convenience store)🙂 Canada is a huge country so it makes sense that not all slang words are used in all areas of the country. I only included slang that I actually hear people use (and tried to include examples from many places). Thanks for sharing Quebec slang. 👍🏻
@@lecoughlan Its Quebec lingo deriving from "depanneur". Practically all of Quebec uses it and so almost 1/4 of Canadians use the term id assume. English and French speakers alike in Quebec use it. My albertan friend had no clue what it was but uses it now.
初めて動画拝見しました！🤗 I’m studying abroad in Newfoundland from Japan. The way you speak is very clear and easy to understand for a foreigner who is having a difficulty of learning English like me🥰 I still remember when I first got here and when I heard my roommate saying ‘toque’, I was like whaaat!?! 😂 Anyway, thank you for sharing the video!! I enjoyed a lot 😍
Hi Zunko, thanks for your comment☺️. Newfoundland! That's a great place to go to improve your English because there's hardly any Japanese there compared to other provinces with bigger cities like Toronto and Vancouver. I hope you're enjoying your time in Canada🥰. I've never been to Newfoundland, but I'd really like to visit someday after watching Come From Away, and because everyone I've met from there has been so kind! (People here in Ontario are kind too, but people from Newfoundland seem to be even nicer and more laid back.) 🤗 How long have you been in Canada for? I wish you the best of luck as you continue studying and improving your English! ☺️👍🏻
JeN's Jyugyou / ジェンの授業 Thank you so much for your reply!! I’m so sorry that I didn’t notice that you replied😭 I had been there for eight months until I went back to Japan because of the pandemic😢 I was so happy to be in NL and definitely wanna come back and travel Ontario, too!😊
Sorry to hear that you had to leave Canada early due to COVID19, but I'm glad to hear that you were able to return to Japan safely. I hope you continue to be in good health and that you'll have to the chance to come back to Canada again sometime. 🇨🇦
Canada has regional vocabulary just like many large countries. Some of these words are specifically Ontario words, others [likely] are Torontonian. In Saskatchewan, you would be hard pressed to find milk in a bag, and Mounties are our provincial police and local police in smaller centres, so we see them all the time [not on horses, or wearing red, but they are everywhere]. Also, in the US upper midwest they call soda 'pop' too. But the video is still helpful for newcomers. Cheers.
Some terms are generational too. 'Chesterfield' tends to be used by (some) older folks. 'The six' on the other hand, is most popular among young hipsters, especially Drake fans. Older Torontonians would say 'T.O.', 'T-dot', or just 'Tarrana'. And finally, I always spell it 'tuque', maybe because I grew up in Quebec and that' s the French spelling, but it also makes more sense phonetically. No one pronounces it like 'toke'!
As a Canadian I am going to disagree with some of this. #1 - Eh: Eh can certainly make a sentence interrogative, but not always - it depends on where it falls in the sentence (as in, "Hold my beer, eh - I gotta take a whiz!"). In this context it is more like "okay" than "right". Eh can also replace the American "huh" as well (which can often end sentences). Your sample sentence at the top here also uses "eh" in a non-interrogative way. #2 - Hoser: I think you're way off on this one. A hoser simply refers to a "loser" (or contemptible person) and is linked to our great past-time - ice hockey - where the losing team had to stay back and hose down the rink. You don't have to be fat, beer swilling, or male to be a hoser. For the record, this can also be a term of affection among close friends, or be part of light-hearted banter among Canucks. #3 - Alcohol Slang: While the terms two-four and mickey are certainly Canadian, you forgot to mention the 26'er and 40 pounder (lb'er). A 26'er refers to a 26 oz bottle and a 40lber is the 40 ounce variant. These expressions (Mickey, 26'er, and 40lber) all refer to hard liquor bottle volumes. #4 - The Peg: You forgot to mention that Winnipeg is not just The Peg, but can also be referred to as Winterpeg because of the harsh winters it experiences. #5 - Mounties: You should probably explain that the reason YOU don't see Mounties everyday is because Toronto is in Ontario which has the OPP, not the RCMP as their regional police force. Here in the West, we are more likely to see Mounties with the exception of cities that have their own police force (like the VPD in Vancouver). Canadian language is diverse and varies across this massive country of ours - not all regional slang apply across the country (i.e. Bunny-hug - never heard it before). You also missed out on "thongs" (as in the footwear, not the undergarment).
My favourite thing about Canada is "Murdoch Misteries" show - this is why I watched your wideo, I am looking for everything about Canada. Your videos are great. BTW: should I put "a" or "the" before the title of that show (in my first sentence)?
Thanks so much for your comment. ☺️ I also enjoy Murdoch Mysteries 👍🏻 I am very happy to hear that you enjoy my videos. Your sentence is perfect 😉 You don't need to add an article ('a' or 'the') before the title of a TV unless the actually title has 'a' or 'the' (For example: The Simpsons).
Thank you so much for sharing Canadian slang and culture. I am living in the peg right now. As a canuke One thing I like Canada most is the peaceful mind of the people
Two years ago, I was on a tour visiting East Canada. I was in the Six and I was feeling myself as a real Canuck. Sometime ago I also visited The Peg. Canada is without a doubt my favorite country.
🇨🇦 Thanks for your comment. I am so glad that you liked your trip to Canada and enjoy my country! 🥰 How long were you here for? Were you visiting for Canada 150?
I was not for Canada 150. My last trip was one year after, on June 2018 with a group of 45 people for seven days. As a matter of fact, I must tell you that I lived in Montreal for two years with my wife and two children, one of them born there. This was in the sixties, quite a long time ago. Thereafter I have traveled to Canada four more times with my wife and another couple. We visited The Peg, Victoria and of course The Six and some other places. That’s why part of my heart ❤️ will always be in Canada. I am so grateful for the opportunity you give me to refresh my English so easily. You are the best. 👍👍👍
@@santiepful ❤️Thank you for your sweet comment. ☺️ I hope that you will be able to come back and visit Canada again someday. 👍🏻 I am impressed that you have been to so many places in Canada. I've only been to various places in Ontario and Quebec (I also lived in Montreal, but only for a few months while studying French). I think I need to see more of my own country!😅
@@JeNsJyugyou It is impressive to see how you put all your enthusiasm and energy into your work by teaching us what you know very well, by spreading it in so many parts of the world. Canada is known for it's amazing natural beauty. I encourage you to visit your country as much as you can. Be sure to be proud of yourself and of your country. You are the best! We all feel grateful for your videos.
I love the Maple Syrup, the Canadian tv shows and movies and the amazing kind people and food! I live in Melbourne Australia and miss Canada! I've made Australia my home but Canada is always in my heart!
My favorite thing about Canada is quickly becoming Jen's Jyugyou! Historically, however, I have always loved Canadian music! Specifically, my favorite band of all time is Rush, followed closely by Triumph, April Wine, Toronto, Frank Marino, Lover Boy, Honeymoon Suite, Klaatu, Max Webster, Chllliwack, City Boy, Trooper, Guess Who, B.T.O., Coney Hatch - just TOO MANY amazing bands to list them all here! Thanks, Jen, for these terrific videos & KEEP ON ROCKIN', eh?
The thing which I love about Canada is it's weather .... I love it 😂 Just kidding TBH I've always been a huge fan of canadian people they are not just humble but are very open to the strangers . Thier hospitality and behavior is just heart melting.eh? 💕 Moreover Canada has a Very compassionate and KindHearted Prime Minister 👌
I love so many things so much that I don`t know how to start. I love your country because: People are very friendly and polite. It is a peaceful country. Internationally it is considered one of the best nations in the world. It has one of the best qualities of life. It’s a country that believes in the rights and well-being of its inhabitants. It happens to be the second largest country in the world...Eh💖💖💖
I met her at the toronto exhibition and loved chatting with her. She also taught me some Japanese. Your video's are amazing Jen, hope to see you again someday!!
Greetings from a Syrian who loves everything in beautiful Canada By the way, i think ( Eh ) Arabic word we also use and its meaning is yeah , right or at the end of the sentence, isn't you? , don't you , yeah? , right? My new teacher is cool,eh?
Hello Nour 🌸 Thanks for watching and for your nice comment. 🙂 It''s very interesting to hear that there is an expression similar to 'eh' in Arabic. 😎 Your last sentence is awesome and uses 'eh' perfectly! 🇨🇦😉
Wow, your English is very clearly, I like your teaching and subtitles, I immediately subscribe your channel and keep going to watching your videos! My favourite thing about Canada are fresh air, nice environment and people r kind!
I believe Canada is the ideal country of world peace. Canada is a very multicultural country but all nationalities seem to get along well. Canucks are kind and very patient to listen carefully to English learners even their English skills are poor. They don't give up on people like us whom have just started studying English. The country takes good care of nature. Most people are also environmentally friendly. I am so happy for that. I can't stop giving compliments.lol so I'll stop now
Wow, what great comments and compliments to read about my country 🥰. I am so happy that you enjoy Canada so much and that my fellow Canucks have done a good job of making you feel welcome and comfortable here. 🇨🇦
Okay, am Canadian, and most were correct but: - eh - no, you’ll hear that very little. Even she uses ‘right’ not eh - ‘The six’ for Toronto is a regionalism and not commonly used, are more likely to hear T.O.. - Milk in bags is more an Ontario thing, most places have the jugs. - Canuck is very rarely used in everyday speech. If somebody means Canadian, they generally say Canadian. - Winnipeg is most commonly, to my experience, called ‘Winterpeg’.
I've watched all your Canadian content and I say I've been well informed with your lovely country,moving there by the end of this month so all this knowledge is very handy
My favourite thing about Canada is that we have the freedom to be critical about our governments (Federal, Provincial, Municipal), especially in regards to how indigenous Canadians have suffered under countless regimes of white supremacist governments. That, and Nanaimo bars! Fun fact: in the 1950s the government in cooperation with the Americans (who were very worried about Russians claiming land in the arctic) sent the Mounties up to the arctic to slay all the Inuit’s dogs so that they couldn’t continue with their traditional nomadic hunting methods. This forced Inuits to live in government issued shanty towns, living on rations of wheat so they could live the White way. The more you know.
Thanks for your comment, Michael. When I read the first part, it was very serious in tone and I agree with you completely. The government treated, and still continues to treat, First Nations in this country terribly and much more should be done to try and compensate them and attempt to make their lives better now after so much oppression. Then when I got to the Nanaimo bar part I suddenly burst out laughing. I enjoy your style of writing; telling it like it is, making the mood lighter with a bit of humour and then packing a final punch with your 'fun' fact about the mistreatment of the Inuit. I was only vaguely aware that something had happened, but to be honest I didn't actually know these horrific details. Thank you for sharing. I hope more people will read your comment.

It's my pleasure, Reba ☺️. Thanks for your nice comment 🤗🇨🇦✨.
What I like most about Canada is CANADIANS😍😍😍💕💕💕 wonderful people, polite, considered with other people. A great country has great people!
Thanks for your extremely kind comment, Caya 🤗. I am incredibly glad to hear that you have such a great impression of my country and fellow Canadians 🇨🇦🤩.
I love how she explains the slangs! Easy to understand! Thank you :D
Thank you 😊. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video 🇨🇦
Probably the most well-rounded and accurate video I’ve seen on Canadian slang❤️🇨🇦😁
Thanks so much ☺️ It was fun to make.
I find out your TH-cam channel today. And I love how you speak English so clearly! Tks, I am from Brazil 😘
I'm American. I found your videos trying to teach my kids about money outside the US. We call soft drinks in Colorado, pop too. But I've heard soda in other places. In New Mexico people call it a Coke, no matter the brand. I'm from the Southwest, so the South, East, Midwest and West have regional dialects and accents that differ from where I am. All the rest was intriguing to watch. I learned a lot.
I’m from California and I call it soda!
Tim Hortons is my favorite thing about Canada. Anytime I visit, I search out a Timmies, and because there's one on every other corner, they aren't hard to find. I love Timmies coffee. Starbucks sucks by comparison!
Thanks for sharing, Debbie 🤗🇨🇦. You're right, there are Timmies everywhere here so you don't have to search for too long 😉 ☕️ !
JeN I enjoyed watching your videos. They help to understand the Canadian language a lot better. Thank you for your help.
That was an excellent loon call. I always enjoy learning new things that I didn't know as far as Canadian slang goes, especially considering I've lived in Ontario for 30 years. Molson Muscle got me, I'd never heard that and I was laughing about it.
I'm 66 from Ontario and I've never heard that phrase before either.
@@redspice55 maybe youth slang?
@@lucias1276 I've been around youths, I have kids, I've never heard them say it either. So I don't know.
It was such a surprise for me, you´re very kind and didactic JeN! I didn't know any canuck slang and now I master 26 at once, thanks to yu. Great! Now I´m your fan. Thanks!
Thank you for your extremely nice comment, René ☺️ I appreciate your kind words and am so glad to hear that my way of teaching is helpful for you. 🇨🇦
@@JeNsJyugyou Yes, u surely helped.
I love Canada because of: Moose, Supernatural, Vancouver, the sound of the Canadian slang, the culture (you say "I'm sorry" very often) and the way you're seeing other people (in my opinion, you are kinder than Americans while talking to foreign people)
And thank you so much for creating this video!! I will be learning so much from you.....its like an ocean of knowledge and I can't wait to explroe them all.
I’m Japanese and still a English learner, so as I saw your channel name and heard you speak Japanese, I just clicked the subscribe button 😂
Thanks for your watching and subscribing. 🤗 I hope you will find the English lessons on my channel useful. 🌸 I don't speak Japanese in any of my videos anymore, (but I keep studying Japanese because I love Japan). 😉
To hear your classes. Thank you so much. God bless you!
I've noticed a lot of Canucks say beauty and sketchy. It seems beauty is something good or a good situation, and sketchy is something bad or a questionable situation. "That looks sketchy, eh?"
Thanks for your comment. That is so true! I personally don't use 'beauty' in slang, but many Canadians do use it in the way that you have mentioned. I am not sure if saying something is 'sketchy' is unique to Canucks or not, but I use it all the time! The way you've used it is perfect. 👍🏻☺️
Any Australian would understand this as well... we'd probably say.."You Beauty" - However Beauty would sound more like Beaudy'... and That looks a bit.. Sketchy.. is very understandable....
I use those two words a lot but remove the ending like "Beauty" become "Beaut" but that's just me I presume.
“Beauty eh” is usually from a specific group of people
@@bluetheguy4819 I think a lot of people use beaut
Thanks, for the very useful video presented in very clear pronunciation & in detail all the aspects.
Hi Susil 🤗. Thanks for watching and for your encouraging comment. I am really glad you enjoyed this video 🇨🇦☺️.
I used to live in BC Vancouver Canada. My Daughter, still lives there. Greetings, from West Sussex UK. Stay safe in this pandemic love Chris.
Hello Chris. Thanks for your comment. I hope that both you and your daughter are doing well during these unprecedented times and that once this is behind us, you can enjoy being reunited. Take Care. 💐
This is the most helpful video I've seen in a while. Thanks a lot!
This is a nice show☺︎I'm a Japanese girl who is living in the Six now.I wanna speak more like a Canuck.This is helping me a lot.Love your talking and smiling.
What I love the most in Canada is Summer time.Everybody is smiling, happy and great weather in a park,eh?That's I really love so.Thanks!
Thank you for your comment.🥰 I'm so happy to hear that you've been enjoying your time here in Canada and Toronto. ☺️ Summer is the best season. 👍🏻
I hope that you are staying safe and healthy during this time and that you still continue to enjoy your time here in the Six. 🇨🇦
hope you like Canada, buddy!
Jen: it is people like YOU that make me love Canada!! Thanks.. great video~
Wow, thank you😊 ! You're so kind 🤗. Reading your comment has brightened my dat ✨😁👍🏻.
You can say "eh" at the beginning too like "eh could you pass the salt?"
Thank you for your comment. You're absolutely correct. 👍🏻
True. I actually more often use it at the beginning than at the end...eh!
Slenderfoxx3
i say "hey" instead
"hey could you pass the salt"
most people ive met also
I'm a new immigrant and this helps! I went to timmies and was wondering what this double double thing is ! Now I know please do more on more subjects!
One of my favorite things about Canada is your videos. Even though I have been Canadian all my life I learn new things from your videos. I have never heard the slang for Toronto or the term just give’er. I agree the scenery, the wildlife and the multiculturalism are some of our best features. People who live here and people who visit should spend some time in the National Parks to really enjoy the country.
Haha, thanks so much for your comment! I'm glad you enjoy my videos.
In addition to The Six, other nicknames for Toronto include T-Dot, The Big Smoke, and Hogtown. I think that which nickname people use depends on their generation. I used to call Toronto T-Dot, but then Drake made the nickname The Six more popular and that's what most people I know seem to use now. As for Give'er, this Canadian slang was more popular in central Canada and has since spread because it was used in several movies and TV shows. I've heard it used many times, but don't personally use it.
Anyways, I agree that people should visit Canada's national parks to enjoy Canada's nature. Do you have a favourite national park?
JeN's Jyugyou / ジェンの授業 Hogtown is the only one I have ever heard. I think I am showing my age.
@@christinemacmacleod4880 Or showing your historical knowledge of Toronto ;)
It's nice to watch your videos. My favourite thing is you and your beautiful voice!
Hi Amit 🤩. Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet comment😀. I really appreciate it 🇨🇦✨.
Love the video. Great work! I’m learning a lot from this video as I am planning to move to Canada. Subscribed ♥️
My favorite thing about Canada? That's a difficult question to answer because I like many things about Canada! I like the beautiful land, the kind people, great fishing, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Paul Bunyan's French-Canadian heritage, and last but not least, the use of "eh" in everyday conversation. I live in Minnesota and say it often too. So there's many things to like about Canada, eh? Thanks for the informative video, Jen!
My favourite thing about Canada is being proud Canadian and being treated so well by people when I travel outside the country , we are honoured to be considered a good country , Thank you,!,,be calm be kind and be safe
Thanks for your comment, Phil 🇨🇦 I totally agree, we are very lucky to live in such a good country. ☺️ Have a great weekend. 😎

Olá Jens, sou brasileiro, e adorei as curiosidades sobre o Canadá. Você é ótima, gratidão!!
You speak very clearly so that we European are able to follow your words very easily ! Thank you!
This is such an adorable video.
Reminds me of my Australian coworker who had just arrived in Canada about a week earlier. I said I had to go to the bank to get some loonies and toonies and she thought I was making some weird joke. I had never really considered how goofy it sounded.
Also,
The fact that you included "give'er" is hilarious to me.
I'm wondering if "T-dot" is completely extinct now. I don't say "the Six" because I'm not a Drake fan.
Guess I'll stick with "Tronnuh" hehe
thanks ! greetings from Switzerland ( Gstaad )
Hi Veronique ✨. My pleasure🇨🇦 ☺️. I hope that everything is going well with you in Gstaad 🇨🇭 🤩.
She taught us not only the slangs but the wonderful cultures in Canada! Makes me wanna migrate to Canada 😍

sorry :)
Good leh
Thank you for the online class! You explain so well
I became your fan, a huge fan of yours right at the first time I saw you which was on this video! You are simply awesome! What a great video, eh!!? What an incredible content!! What I love the most about Canada is the fact that there are road signs and street signs in both English & French everywhere and also the fact that the country is bilingual, speaking the most stylish languages of the world the ones I already stated and being multicultural as well and having trains all over the nation to travel nationwide & even to the universe! What a nice country!! Hi from Brazil!! J'aime anglais et français et je parle les deux langues couramment! La musique canadienne est aussi ma préférée. I love CD, ST, BA, AM and many others! Try to guess what and who they are!! CD is from Charlemagne (Québec), ST is from Windsor and she was raised in Timmins (Ontario), BA is from Kingston (Ontario) and AM is from Ottawa (National Capital). Hi from Brazil again! Salut du Brésil à nouveau!
Hello Fernando ☺️ Thank you for your encouraging and very detailed comment. It is also nice to hear that you like Canadian music. 🎼 I don't hear that so often, and usually not from someone in Brazil! 😁
I was going to leave your Canadian music challenge for someone else to solve, but I think I'll try and guess. Are your favourite musicians Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams, and Alanis Morissette? 🇨🇦

Thank you for your kind words. ☺️ I am happy to hear that you enjoy my lessons. 🥰
You explain something with such ease that your expression is your pronunciation, both are understandable clearly❤❤❤
What about a "dep" for a corner store. Im Canadian and I didn't know half of these terms because many of them are provincially based and not national, so id say "dep" as in depaneur is a good one. Also, considering Molson, is from Montreal, id have heard the term, but ive never heard that "Molson muscle" in my life.
Hi Justin. 🇨🇦 Thanks for your comment and for adding some new slang, "Dep" for dépanneur (convenience store)🙂 Canada is a huge country so it makes sense that not all slang words are used in all areas of the country. I only included slang that I actually hear people use (and tried to include examples from many places). Thanks for sharing Quebec slang. 👍🏻
I’ve never heard dep used before. I’m from British Columbia Vancouver
@@lecoughlan Its Quebec lingo deriving from "depanneur". Practically all of Quebec uses it and so almost 1/4 of Canadians use the term id assume. English and French speakers alike in Quebec use it. My albertan friend had no clue what it was but uses it now.
Thank you so much for this video😌🎥
初めて動画拝見しました！🤗
I’m studying abroad in Newfoundland from Japan.
The way you speak is very clear and easy to understand for a foreigner who is having a difficulty of learning English like me🥰 I still remember when I first got here and when I heard my roommate saying ‘toque’, I was like whaaat!?! 😂 Anyway, thank you for sharing the video!! I enjoyed a lot 😍
Hi Zunko, thanks for your comment☺️. Newfoundland! That's a great place to go to improve your English because there's hardly any Japanese there compared to other provinces with bigger cities like Toronto and Vancouver. I hope you're enjoying your time in Canada🥰.
I've never been to Newfoundland, but I'd really like to visit someday after watching Come From Away, and because everyone I've met from there has been so kind! (People here in Ontario are kind too, but people from Newfoundland seem to be even nicer and more laid back.) 🤗
How long have you been in Canada for? I wish you the best of luck as you continue studying and improving your English! ☺️👍🏻
JeN's Jyugyou / ジェンの授業 Thank you so much for your reply!! I’m so sorry that I didn’t notice that you replied😭 I had been there for eight months until I went back to Japan because of the pandemic😢 I was so happy to be in NL and definitely wanna come back and travel Ontario, too!😊
Sorry to hear that you had to leave Canada early due to COVID19, but I'm glad to hear that you were able to return to Japan safely. I hope you continue to be in good health and that you'll have to the chance to come back to Canada again sometime. 🇨🇦
Only 26? This was so interesting and informative, I could have listened to her for hours. 🙂
Canada has regional vocabulary just like many large countries. Some of these words are specifically Ontario words, others [likely] are Torontonian. In Saskatchewan, you would be hard pressed to find milk in a bag, and Mounties are our provincial police and local police in smaller centres, so we see them all the time [not on horses, or wearing red, but they are everywhere]. Also, in the US upper midwest they call soda 'pop' too. But the video is still helpful for newcomers. Cheers.
Hi Eric 😁. Thank you so much for your feedback on this video. I appreciate your kind corrections and insight 🇨🇦. 👍🏻
Some terms are generational too. 'Chesterfield' tends to be used by (some) older folks. 'The six' on the other hand, is most popular among young hipsters, especially Drake fans. Older Torontonians would say 'T.O.', 'T-dot', or just 'Tarrana'. And finally, I always spell it 'tuque', maybe because I grew up in Quebec and that' s the French spelling, but it also makes more sense phonetically. No one pronounces it like 'toke'!
You are very funny, and fun to learn Canadian slangs with. ♥
As a Canadian I am going to disagree with some of this.
#1 - Eh: Eh can certainly make a sentence interrogative, but not always - it depends on where it falls in the sentence (as in, "Hold my beer, eh - I gotta take a whiz!"). In this context it is more like "okay" than "right". Eh can also replace the American "huh" as well (which can often end sentences). Your sample sentence at the top here also uses "eh" in a non-interrogative way.
#2 - Hoser: I think you're way off on this one. A hoser simply refers to a "loser" (or contemptible person) and is linked to our great past-time - ice hockey - where the losing team had to stay back and hose down the rink. You don't have to be fat, beer swilling, or male to be a hoser. For the record, this can also be a term of affection among close friends, or be part of light-hearted banter among Canucks.
#3 - Alcohol Slang: While the terms two-four and mickey are certainly Canadian, you forgot to mention the 26'er and 40 pounder (lb'er). A 26'er refers to a 26 oz bottle and a 40lber is the 40 ounce variant. These expressions (Mickey, 26'er, and 40lber) all refer to hard liquor bottle volumes.
#4 - The Peg: You forgot to mention that Winnipeg is not just The Peg, but can also be referred to as Winterpeg because of the harsh winters it experiences.
#5 - Mounties: You should probably explain that the reason YOU don't see Mounties everyday is because Toronto is in Ontario which has the OPP, not the RCMP as their regional police force. Here in the West, we are more likely to see Mounties with the exception of cities that have their own police force (like the VPD in Vancouver).
Canadian language is diverse and varies across this massive country of ours - not all regional slang apply across the country (i.e. Bunny-hug - never heard it before). You also missed out on "thongs" (as in the footwear, not the undergarment).
Thanks for your excellent additions and feedback 🤗🇨🇦👍🏻
Tuque, and Bunny Hug - thanks for the Canuck lessons!
Hi Kathy 🇨🇦. My pleasure ☺️. Thanks for watching ✨.
My favourite thing about Canada is "Murdoch Misteries" show - this is why I watched your wideo, I am looking for everything about Canada. Your videos are great. BTW: should I put "a" or "the" before the title of that show (in my first sentence)?
Thanks so much for your comment. ☺️ I also enjoy Murdoch Mysteries 👍🏻
I am very happy to hear that you enjoy my videos.
Your sentence is perfect 😉 You don't need to add an article ('a' or 'the') before the title of a TV unless the actually title has 'a' or 'the' (For example: The Simpsons).
Love your video so much! thanks for your energy!

Two years ago, I was on a tour visiting East Canada. I was in the Six and I was feeling myself as a real Canuck. Sometime ago I also visited The Peg. Canada is without a doubt my favorite country.
🇨🇦 Thanks for your comment. I am so glad that you liked your trip to Canada and enjoy my country! 🥰 How long were you here for? Were you visiting for Canada 150?
I was not for Canada 150. My last trip was one year after, on June 2018 with a group of 45 people for seven days. As a matter of fact, I must tell you that I lived in Montreal for two years with my wife and two children, one of them born there. This was in the sixties, quite a long time ago. Thereafter I have traveled to Canada four more times with my wife and another couple. We visited The Peg, Victoria and of course The Six and some other places.

I believe Canada is the ideal country of world peace. Canada is a very multicultural country but all nationalities seem to get along well. Canucks are kind and very patient to listen carefully to English learners even their English skills are poor. They don't give up on people like us whom have just started studying English. The country takes good care of nature. Most people are also environmentally friendly. I am so happy for that. I can't stop giving compliments.lol so I'll stop now

🇨🇦🥰 Thank you, I am extremely glad to hear that. 👍🏻😎
Awesome! I wish I had known this before I lived there. When I return I'll know. Much better to blend in like a local.
Okay, am Canadian, and most were correct but:
- eh - no, you’ll hear that very little. Even she uses ‘right’ not eh
- ‘The six’ for Toronto is a regionalism and not commonly used, are more likely to hear T.O..
- Milk in bags is more an Ontario thing, most places have the jugs.
- Canuck is very rarely used in everyday speech. If somebody means Canadian, they generally say Canadian.
- Winnipeg is most commonly, to my experience, called ‘Winterpeg’.
Thanks for your comment and feedback 🇨🇦 Winterpeg, haha! I've never heard that before, but I love it! 😉
Yeah we dont have milk bags in BC neither in Quebec i think is just in ontario
@@thegremlincat6526 Nope, we have bagged milk (and jugs) in Nova Scotia.

Thanks! That's a good one ☺️
I've watched all your Canadian content and I say I've been well informed with your lovely country,moving there by the end of this month so all this knowledge is very handy
My favourite thing about Canada is that we have the freedom to be critical about our governments (Federal, Provincial, Municipal), especially in regards to how indigenous Canadians have suffered under countless regimes of white supremacist governments. That, and Nanaimo bars!
Fun fact: in the 1950s the government in cooperation with the Americans (who were very worried about Russians claiming land in the arctic) sent the Mounties up to the arctic to slay all the Inuit’s dogs so that they couldn’t continue with their traditional nomadic hunting methods. This forced Inuits to live in government issued shanty towns, living on rations of wheat so they could live the White way. The more you know.
Thanks for your comment, Michael.
When I read the first part, it was very serious in tone and I agree with you completely. The government treated, and still continues to treat, First Nations in this country terribly and much more should be done to try and compensate them and attempt to make their lives better now after so much oppression. Then when I got to the Nanaimo bar part I suddenly burst out laughing.
I enjoy your style of writing; telling it like it is, making the mood lighter with a bit of humour and then packing a final punch with your 'fun' fact about the mistreatment of the Inuit. I was only vaguely aware that something had happened, but to be honest I didn't actually know these horrific details. Thank you for sharing. I hope more people will read your comment.
