There is a difference between 'Mates' and 'Friends'. All Mates are Friends but not all Friends are Mates. Mates always go that extra step for each other.
I see it the other way round hahaha!! All friends are mates but not all mates are friends!! If I say the phrase “listen mate” u know I’m not happy with u hahahah
I have to say, I use mate also when I am annoyed with a person..... it's a different inflection than 'that's my mate'... it's like 'WTF are you talking about mate'.... so almost like an insult lol
Also, “mate” can also be used to insult someone too … or be aggressive towards someone … and sometimes instead of calling our friends “mate” we call them the c word 😂 … and that is sometimes more respected
I have a lot of different friends and family with differing degrees of the Aussie accent. I'm also involved in amateur theatre and I work as a sales rep'. So I'm around different people all the time. I slip quite easily from one accent to another without even thinking about it. I love our Aussie slang also, very laid back.
Same my dad's side is from Ipswich/Inala Queensland and my mothers side is from England. So I can easily switch from Aussie cool to Aussie posh whenever needed. My regular "accent" is very different to my "phone accent".

Key to a basic Aussie accent is to move your lips as little as possible (so as to not swallow any flies). Also, in general, understatement, dryness and deadpan delivery are important aspects of classic Aussie humor.
Yeah, I pricked my ears up when I heard that. It kinda helps remove the "foreign-ness" which puts up a little bit of a barrier between those speaking and those being spoken to. Hurrah!😍
You're right about "bar" and "barring" being related. "Bar" is used here to mean "except", "but" or "other than", e.g. "I've had nothing to eat bar a sandwich all day." We also speak of people being "barred" from entering premises, or driving, or whatever. Kind of means the same as "banned", which is odd. But is that something commonly said in the USA as well, as in being "barred" from practicing law/medicine etc? Great reaction as always, Joel, to a very good video that gave you a few more clues to the characteristics and diversity of our Aussie accent.
You're right, Aussies do. However, I think it's used in America too as I remember on Dave Chappelle Show with the famous Rick James skit (Cocaine is a helluva a drug!), Charlie Murphy is telling a story about an 'orange aura' he saw when he first met Rick James. He said ... "I seen it! His aura or whatever, I seen it!" ...it was something like that. I know that was rather random, but that's the first thing that popped in my head.
My late grandma, used to try and correct me on that all the time! I knew the correct saying was, "I saw it." But, I preferred the flow of, "I seen it!" I'd say that to her on purpose as well, cause I know she hated it 😏!
Australian English is great because you can literally say anything and it just kinda makes sense. It’s like a big joke that everyone’s in on. Like you can say, “as ____ as a ______” (fill in the blanks with any random things like “as happy as a koala up a tree”) and everyone would just be like “yep I get it.” Even though it probably doesn’t make much sense. It’s all about the context of the conversation. Also good on you for pronouncing it as “Ozzie” instead of “Ossie”. 👏🏼
I think it's hilarious when people throw out the most aussie sentences ever to demonstrate how batshit crazy our lingo can be. e.g.: Takin me mates in me ute down to the servo n the bottlo s'arvo to grab more durries n booze then back ere to have some fags n get smashed while watchin the footy

Actually, Daniel's got a world class comedy skit right there! He need change nothing about any of it, front up on a theatre stage, and the audience would be left laughing in the aisles. Seriously!
Yes, of course you're correct about the word 'bloke' also being used in the UK- the words 'bloke and 'mate' were brought by English immigrants to both Aussi and here in New Zealand, although bloke is seldom heard among young people these days- it was gradually replaced by 'guy' over the last twenty to thirty years.
I'm not sure if you're ready for a bit of "Australiana" by Austen Tayshus. He's a comedian who uses Australian puns to tell a story. You'd have to really listen to catch them all but it was a hit in the 1980s. The version with a film clip of a party is the best to give visual clues about what he's saying
Actually took me many years to figure out how to write 'this morning' because its just "s'mornin" when we say it. Also, yeah, more tradies and people who work out West/ middle of Australia (just like small towns and farmers) have that broad accent, very occasionally will you hear it in the big cities.
I find when talking to guys in particular that have the broad Aussie accent you start talking the same way yourself because we all know what they are saying. I love it and hope it never dies. We call these guys "characters".
Fits the brief is a semi-legal or professional term. For example an architect is given a brief, that is a set of general guidelines about what is required in the finished building. If the final design "fits the brief", the architect has designed a building that satisfies the requirements of the customer. The same applies when a lawyer presents a case in court: if the arguments "fit the brief" they have fulfilled the needs of the prosecution (or the defence). A brief like this is where the word "briefcase" comes from.
You got it 100% correct in regards to "bar". It's the verb form of "barring". You'll find a few pieces of weirdly archaic english appears in Australian vernacular.
Haha love this! Very QLD bogan accent 😂 He’s great! A lot of our words are interchangeable - mate is a big one, ALOT for curse words too! Can be an insult or can be a term on endearment - it’s all about tone, volume and body language. Aussies are pretty casual in general and the way we speak really reflects that - there is just alot of variation on levels of slang and accents due to background ect
His accent is why I avoid travelling to Queensland. The accent is similarly unsophisticated in Victoria much of the time, regardless of their protestations of culture and education
Yo Carl Barron stand up comedy is also a good one for Aussie slang terms; The "yous" (pronounced "use") as a collective for "You guys" is another common expression.
What a great way to start the day Joel!! Great video, such fun. Amazingly, his slang was totally understandable to me, as we used many of the same words and phrases in Canada, but with a different accent of course. Cheers, John
Yep - it's spelled Aussie but pronounced Ozzie. You're learning a lot 😊 This guy has a REALLY broad accent, especially the way he says "me" instead of "my" and drops the g's from a lot more words than most of us would. Given his accent and general appearance, he's what we'd call a 'bogan'. Can't remember if you've come across that slang word before.
So true about how we change the way we speak depending on the circumstances.... I was a receptionist/admin worker for years, so I'd put on my 'phone voice' or 'speaking with the CEO/CFO voice'... yet in my real life, I sound as bogan/westie as you get..... lmao...... we all adapt to circumstances I think.....I left school at 16, I did continue to educate myself... I read A LOT..... and lot's of different genres.... non-fiction/fiction/science journals etc... just because I speak like a bogan doesn't mean I don't know things... I'm just quite happy with where I was born, the environment I was in.... it is me......
Can’t stand Stefanovic, he cheated on his wife of 20 years and dumped her for a younger woman, and he did it all so publicly, just humiliated his wife and kids. A classic middle life crisis. Plus he’s an LNP shill as well.
There is a a traditional Yorkshire song “On Ilkley Moor Baht’at” which means “On Ilkley Moor without a hat” (or “without the hat”). “Baht” means “without” in the same way.
Great study of the broad Aussie accent and some phrases which can be heard in the conversational speech of some Australians, especially working class men and even women. Very rich in expression and always engenders a relaxed and friendly mood. Having said that, what is interesting is that the word "mate" can be used in both a friendly way, as in "thanks for the beer, mate", or in an unfriendly or even threatening way, as in "What the hell are you lookin at, mate?
Thank you for sharing! It’s a classic 😂 also noticed that the guy being interviewed wasn’t that colloquial, as he didn’t use profanity for example “bloody” ect, he may have been told beforehand not to swear on camera 😂 👍
Today Show with Karl Stephanovic, you have to check it out Joel. There are a number of Karl/Today show posts to chose from on TH-cam ie highlight posts .
I think the Nasal thing might have come from Londoners who emigrated to Australia generations ago. South and East Londoners sometimes have the nasal thing.
Another thing you’ll hear some Aussie saying to refer to a group of 2 or more people is “yous guys” instead of “you guys”- it’s another thing “less educated” (to use his phrase) people tend to say🤷♀️ And we shorten ALOT of words- “arvo” “servo” “bottle-o” etc And also- we take out vowels alot too- so instead of “Brisbane” it’s more like “Bris-bn”
Actually "guys" is more of an American word. It's not at all very common in Australia to say "yous guys". The term that is more commonly used that is similar is "you lot". Even just trying to say "yous guys" is hard for me to say and pronounce. I can honestly say I have never heard an Australian actually say. And if we do say it, we say you guys.
I’m so glad you prefer the dialect.. i speak like this and I’m educated but feel embarrassed when in the company of ‘proper’ people but I’m just being my friendly self
Regarding 'bar', it probably comes from "barred", which is what we call being banned from a pub or other business. "You're barred mate" would be like "You're banned, buddy." It likely spread from there.
I fucking love him. He's absolutely hilarious. I for one vote for him for prime minister. He does sum up Australia though, look after your mates and your mates will look after you. Almost like we're amazing when we stand together. Who'd have known???
If you want to see more of Karl's highlights, there are plenty on YT but here is one small package of them from the Today Show to get you going. Be warned, Aussie morning TV isn't anything like US morning TV lol th-cam.com/video/vn-LSYno-HU/w-d-xo.html
This is one of the most iconic news stories in Australia, I’ve seen this about 50 times.. this is what a bogan, and this is the bogan Australian. This news story is also for comedy
"Scooter" comes from the word "scoot" not the other way around. It means "to go quickly" or "to slide across sonething". People will also sometimes say "ma car" rather than "my car". In British English and by extension in Australia, "bar" means "except for".
Ive been watching you for a while now and I genuinely respect your work. I think it's important to point out that Australians are so multicultural that there are many alternatives but you are I think, mostly correct. I love that I can see the way your interest piques at certain points in your facial expressions the way I expect them to. My only negative would be that you're sharing too much with the world. We don't want everyone to know how amazing our country is. In our words "Fuck of we're full"😘
Today show funny bits is an old channel that had all the karl stefanovic clips with his original today show crew... karl is still on but the older stuff is absolutely gold
you were correct about the "bar" origin - it comes from "barring" - which is an old english word, hes not slurring the word "but" - so good onya mate lol
Without being told about the definition, or looking it up, my understanding of “fits the brief” relates to a design brief (or project brief, or whatever else - brief). Iirc, design briefs are the set of instructions from a client to a contractor. “This is what i am after, these are the parameters, these are my intentions, these are my reasons, etc.” If it fits the brief, then it adheres to the concept initially presented. In the context of the video, he is a hero and is wearing his jocks as his outermost garment, which adheres to the idea of famous superheroes that the vast majority of people would be familiar with, especially during the silver age of comics
Using a lot of these things, like ‘me car’ for example, is actually quite charming when a general dented aussie like this guy and myself, put these little accented things on, it comes off as fun and silly so it can actually be pretty charming 😂
One interesting thing he kinda touched briefly with "bar" but left out was how Aussies like myself pronounce "t" and "th" in words. There's typically two ways we say it, but it's overall deceptively complicated, but I'll try my best to explain. Firstly the more complicated one, those with thicker broader accents tend to do this thing with the back of our throats to stop air passing briefly (I think the technical term is a glottal stop), best way I can describe it is the very start of a fake or real cough, that closing of the throat using the back of the tongue. It was done once with this guy's sentence which I will use ' to emphasize: "Bud I had nuthin on bu' me jocks", Depending on where you're from you might also say "nu'n" instead of "nuthin". It's most common when we say "Mate", we typically don't end the word at the front of the mouth near the teeth but at the back, so more like "May' ". We often substitute "t" for "d" with certain words depending on the vowel before or after. For example we'd still say "rotation" like you'd expect, but we'd likely say "moda" when referring to a "motor". If it has two Ts you'll likely drop the second for D: Rotaded 🔄 , Potado 🥔. If the Ts are together or the word ends in Y both are changed: Matter -> Madda, Footy -> Fooddy. If I were to list all the nuances of our dialect we'd probably be here all day, but hope this shed a little more light on how our language works ^-^
I worked in Scotland 🏴 - got friendly & relaxed with a young Scottish worker & I said: “ Dij-ya-avagoowee-gend?” She said in shock: “I didn’t understand a word you said” So I realised & said slowly: “Did you have a good weekend?” Alas, she was still in shock.🇦🇺
Bar as in 'everything except for' is exactly where " bar me jocks" came from and the accent is But Australian accent is a heavy mix of slang and the words are naisly but our words are spoken from the back of the pallet thats what help form our sentences into one big word, but Americans speaks more from the front of the mouth and put more annoucication on each letter and space words The reason old mate changed his word between jocks and undies was because they mean the same and he the words would flow better together as he was saying it Assies are walking thesourousas we always got 6 different words that mean that same thing and use in replace of regularly
Fifth generation Aussie here and I fully relate to the speaking of proper English and how it sounds overly formal. The best part of it is that you can go almost anywhere in the world and be understood by anyone else who speaks even a hint of English
18:43 no, it comes from the Glottal T/Glottal stop T of other english/scottish accents that came over and became the australian accent. You will hear it in some very informal English and Scottish accents, where the T at the end of a syllable/word comes from a glottal stop (where you close the air off in your throat, almost like a cough - or where a cough comes from) so instead of BUT - You get Bu', Butter becomes - Bu''er, Water becomes Wa'er. The Glottal stop has become somewhat subdued in our accent. I'd argue, there is probably still remnants of a glottal stop, and he isn't literally sah bah/bar, it's just less pronounced.
@@MultiEmmet OMg read my comment. I didn't say Australian's did. I'm saying where the Bah/bar came from. Go to the timestamp, then read my comment. And then READ the part of my comment that says " You will hear it in some very informal English and Scottish accents" In Some British and Scottish accents.... ffs. The Bah comes from that part of the accent. There were fucking examples of an English or Scottish accent that uses a Glottal T. FFS
That guy has little to no education but he has the typical Aussie ‘help a mate’ attitude. You said you have to speak properly all day for work and like to use slang in your off-time. That is pretty much what we do, but listening to that bloke, I would think, the way he spoke in the interview, is the only way he knows how to communicate. More power to him though, he’s a good friend to have in a difficult situation. I’d not mind if he were my neighbour and I’d lend him a cup of sugar or a tool he needed, no worries.
Thats us Aussies, thats the slang we all grew up understanding, lots of people think when we Aussies are speaking we talk really fast , I think we do because we have cut words short to get to the point of things, what is funny is to here two slang Aussies having a argument, the lingo, the slang is raw but I love them for being true blue Aussies
It's not so much less educated in some cases, it also depends on what part of Oz yer from. I'm in the country so I have the broad rural Australian accent as against someone from the city.
Thanks for this educational, but also very amusing video, Joel. You might be interested in a video comparing and contrasting English accents Australia v NZ v S Africa v England v Canada. Where they differ, which pronunciations were similar, etc was very informative for me. There are several videos on TH-cam covering aspects of this, and some include US accents too.
Yeah I'm looking forward to Jps' reaction to South African. There was a native darker skin population there with some different groups and languages. Then white people came and speak English with a different accent. There's a language called Afrikaans or something

Haha love this! Very QLD bogan accent 😂 He’s great!
A lot of our words are interchangeable - mate is a big one, ALOT for curse words too! Can be an insult or can be a term on endearment - it’s all about tone, volume and body language.
Aussies are pretty casual in general and the way we speak really reflects that - there is just alot of variation on levels of slang and accents due to background ect
True about the same word eg Mate having different meanings depending on Tone and Context
His accent is why I avoid travelling to Queensland. The accent is similarly unsophisticated in Victoria much of the time, regardless of their protestations of culture and education
@@melissabarrett9750 not really an easy going Aussie type r ya!
Yo Carl Barron stand up comedy is also a good one for Aussie slang terms; The "yous" (pronounced "use") as a collective for "You guys" is another common expression.
I also think Adam Hills has a good aussie slang / accent vid floating around too, also a cracker.
What a great way to start the day Joel!! Great video, such fun. Amazingly, his slang was totally understandable to me, as we used many of the same words and phrases in Canada, but with a different accent of course. Cheers, John
Yep - it's spelled Aussie but pronounced Ozzie. You're learning a lot 😊 This guy has a REALLY broad accent, especially the way he says "me" instead of "my" and drops the g's from a lot more words than most of us would. Given his accent and general appearance, he's what we'd call a 'bogan'. Can't remember if you've come across that slang word before.
Not simply a bogan, but a hardcore bogan. The type who thinks people with good diction are snobs or trying to make him look stupid
Well shit… here I was thinking that saying “bar” was more classy then “but” I was unknowingly doubling down this whole time??? 😂
Haha probably depends on the rest of the sentence But, Bar is surely slightly more formal than But . But who doesn't like some butts lolz
So true about how we change the way we speak depending on the circumstances.... I was a receptionist/admin worker for years, so I'd put on my 'phone voice' or 'speaking with the CEO/CFO voice'... yet in my real life, I sound as bogan/westie as you get..... lmao...... we all adapt to circumstances I think.....I left school at 16, I did continue to educate myself... I read A LOT..... and lot's of different genres.... non-fiction/fiction/science journals etc... just because I speak like a bogan doesn't mean I don't know things... I'm just quite happy with where I was born, the environment I was in.... it is me......
There are lots of Karl Stefanovic compilations on TH-cam- one I love is from the “Today” show channel- “best of Karl” part 1.
Karl Stefanovic is a morning show host and he once did the whole show totally drunk after an award show, it’s here on TH-cam it’s amazing.
'Amazing' is definitely not the word I'd use. The guy's a tool.
@@Geoskan yes I agree my description of Karl is an embarrassing tool!
Can’t stand Stefanovic, he cheated on his wife of 20 years and dumped her for a younger woman, and he did it all so publicly, just humiliated his wife and kids. A classic middle life crisis. Plus he’s an LNP shill as well.
You catch on really quick mate. Ive nearly watched all your videos and im impressed with your intelligence.
There is a a traditional Yorkshire song “On Ilkley Moor Baht’at” which means “On Ilkley Moor without a hat” (or “without the hat”). “Baht” means “without” in the same way.
This young lad is good n i enjoy his vids n knows n understands Aussie slangs.
Great study of the broad Aussie accent and some phrases which can be heard in the conversational speech of some Australians, especially working class men and even women. Very rich in expression and always engenders a relaxed and friendly mood. Having said that, what is interesting is that the word "mate" can be used in both a friendly way, as in "thanks for the beer, mate", or in an unfriendly or even threatening way, as in "What the hell are you lookin at, mate?
Everyone's ya mate in Australia. A stranger is just a mate you haven't met yet.
mate or BAR, like hay what u doing BAR, or bruzz hows things going ?
Yeah, you were spot on about the where the word bar comes from. Well picked up mate.
Your right, the way we use bar, is derived from barring exactly how you assumed..
Oh, how many times my boys run outdoors in the morning in their jocks to take the rubbish bin out. Aussie blockes are very relaxed.
Thank you for sharing! It’s a classic 😂 also noticed that the guy being interviewed wasn’t that colloquial, as he didn’t use profanity for example “bloody” ect, he may have been told beforehand not to swear on camera 😂 👍
Daniel isn't prone to swearing.
G´day Mate! Really enjoying these videos. So grouse to see ya spinning out on the way us people from down under live.
Exactly right, "bar" does come from a derivative of being "barred" or except from.
Today Show with Karl Stephanovic, you have to check it out Joel. There are a number of Karl/Today show posts to chose from on TH-cam ie highlight posts .
Best of Karl part 1 is the best to choose from.
I think the Nasal thing might have come from Londoners who emigrated to Australia generations ago. South and East Londoners sometimes have the nasal thing.
Agree.
You got it mate... nice Tube. Cheers from Sydney, AU.
A definition of a GOOD MATE is someone who gets to two head jobe and then comes home and gives you one of them .........LOL ❤😋🙄
😂😂😂😂😂
Another thing you’ll hear some Aussie saying to refer to a group of 2 or more people is “yous guys” instead of “you guys”- it’s another thing “less educated” (to use his phrase) people tend to say🤷♀️
And we shorten ALOT of words- “arvo” “servo” “bottle-o” etc
And also- we take out vowels alot too- so instead of “Brisbane” it’s more like “Bris-bn”
Actually "guys" is more of an American word. It's not at all very common in Australia to say "yous guys". The term that is more commonly used that is similar is "you lot". Even just trying to say "yous guys" is hard for me to say and pronounce. I can honestly say I have never heard an Australian actually say. And if we do say it, we say you guys.
Most valid American out there ngl.
I’m so glad you prefer the dialect.. i speak like this and I’m educated but feel embarrassed when in the company of ‘proper’ people but I’m just being my friendly self
Haha, I remember this guy. He was such a character.
Despite his accent and/or education he's a good bloke. As long as we can understand eachother it's "all good"".
Absolutely brilliant, what a legend 😆
Regarding 'bar', it probably comes from "barred", which is what we call being banned from a pub or other business. "You're barred mate" would be like "You're banned, buddy." It likely spread from there.
Hahaha omg you two need to do a video together heys !! :-)) loved it , ya both seem like ya d get along Great ai!!
❤❤ much love :-)
I fucking love him. He's absolutely hilarious. I for one vote for him for prime minister.
He does sum up Australia though, look after your mates and your mates will look after you. Almost like we're amazing when we stand together. Who'd have known???
Welcome to Australian! 🤗
If you want to see more of Karl's highlights, there are plenty on YT but here is one small package of them from the Today Show to get you going. Be warned, Aussie morning TV isn't anything like US morning TV lol th-cam.com/video/vn-LSYno-HU/w-d-xo.html
This is one of the most iconic news stories in Australia, I’ve seen this about 50 times.. this is what a bogan, and this is the bogan Australian. This news story is also for comedy
"Scooter" comes from the word "scoot" not the other way around. It means "to go quickly" or "to slide across sonething". People will also sometimes say "ma car" rather than "my car". In British English and by extension in Australia, "bar" means "except for".
Ive been watching you for a while now and I genuinely respect your work.
I think it's important to point out that Australians are so multicultural that there are many alternatives but you are I think, mostly correct.
I love that I can see the way your interest piques at certain points in your facial expressions the way I expect them to.
My only negative would be that you're sharing too much with the world. We don't want everyone to know how amazing our country is. In our words "Fuck of we're full"😘
Today show funny bits is an old channel that had all the karl stefanovic clips with his original today show crew... karl is still on but the older stuff is absolutely gold
Mate, I loved this video
you were correct about the "bar" origin - it comes from "barring" - which is an old english word, hes not slurring the word "but" - so good onya mate lol
If you like the accent i think you'd love watching Kath and Kim. it's a great show and the accents are fantastic.
Without being told about the definition, or looking it up, my understanding of “fits the brief” relates to a design brief (or project brief, or whatever else - brief). Iirc, design briefs are the set of instructions from a client to a contractor. “This is what i am after, these are the parameters, these are my intentions, these are my reasons, etc.”
If it fits the brief, then it adheres to the concept initially presented.
In the context of the video, he is a hero and is wearing his jocks as his outermost garment, which adheres to the idea of famous superheroes that the vast majority of people would be familiar with, especially during the silver age of comics
Using a lot of these things, like ‘me car’ for example, is actually quite charming when a general dented aussie like this guy and myself, put these little accented things on, it comes off as fun and silly so it can actually be pretty charming 😂
One interesting thing he kinda touched briefly with "bar" but left out was how Aussies like myself pronounce "t" and "th" in words. There's typically two ways we say it, but it's overall deceptively complicated, but I'll try my best to explain.
Firstly the more complicated one, those with thicker broader accents tend to do this thing with the back of our throats to stop air passing briefly (I think the technical term is a glottal stop), best way I can describe it is the very start of a fake or real cough, that closing of the throat using the back of the tongue. It was done once with this guy's sentence which I will use ' to emphasize: "Bud I had nuthin on bu' me jocks", Depending on where you're from you might also say "nu'n" instead of "nuthin". It's most common when we say "Mate", we typically don't end the word at the front of the mouth near the teeth but at the back, so more like "May' ".
We often substitute "t" for "d" with certain words depending on the vowel before or after. For example we'd still say "rotation" like you'd expect, but we'd likely say "moda" when referring to a "motor". If it has two Ts you'll likely drop the second for D: Rotaded 🔄 , Potado 🥔. If the Ts are together or the word ends in Y both are changed: Matter -> Madda, Footy -> Fooddy.
If I were to list all the nuances of our dialect we'd probably be here all day, but hope this shed a little more light on how our language works ^-^
I worked in Scotland 🏴 - got friendly & relaxed with a young Scottish worker & I said: “ Dij-ya-avagoowee-gend?”
She said in shock: “I didn’t understand a word you said”
So I realised & said slowly: “Did you have a good weekend?”
Alas, she was still in shock.🇦🇺
Ya need to watch "Housoes vs authorities" & "Trent from punchy" is another eye opener.
Me and my is like seen and saw.
Oh I so remember this, it was massive and still makes me lol today. Another great video JP, you need to do a video on where you can try our accent.
The Australian accent has changed talking to friends this afternoon. Younger adults an American twang and words
are coming into the accent.
yes, sadly
Lots of "sidewalk" and "gas" in the younguns these days 😪
The brief is also a legal term for the documents required for a court case.
Bar as in 'everything except for' is exactly where " bar me jocks" came from and the accent is
But Australian accent is a heavy mix of slang and the words are naisly but our words are spoken from the back of the pallet thats what help form our sentences into one big word, but Americans speaks more from the front of the mouth and put more annoucication on each letter and space words
The reason old mate changed his word between jocks and undies was because they mean the same and he the words would flow better together as he was saying it
Assies are walking thesourousas we always got 6 different words that mean that same thing and use in replace of regularly
Search Australian man tackles 7/11 servo robber- it’s the same energy as this it’s a classicccc
This video is up there with "just waiting for a mate"
YOU ARE A CLEVER YOUNG MAN! Bar is definitely derivative from barring! WELL DONE OLD CHASP!
And his accent and look would have been inown as ocker.
Ive met this guy in real life, i know his Mrs and kids. He is just like that
You should check out Russell Coight's All Aussie Adventures... but please don't take his advice on survival in the Aussie Bush! 😂🤣
Aussies also add but to the end of their phrases. It wasn’t me but. Instead of. but it wasn’t me
I really notice this is NSW and QLD, but not so much in the rest of Australia.
An unintended consequence of me learning English and being proper about it means that I sound like a formal email sometimes.
Fifth generation Aussie here and I fully relate to the speaking of proper English and how it sounds overly formal. The best part of it is that you can go almost anywhere in the world and be understood by anyone else who speaks even a hint of English
18:43 no, it comes from the Glottal T/Glottal stop T of other english/scottish accents that came over and became the australian accent. You will hear it in some very informal English and Scottish accents, where the T at the end of a syllable/word comes from a glottal stop (where you close the air off in your throat, almost like a cough - or where a cough comes from) so instead of BUT - You get Bu', Butter becomes - Bu''er, Water becomes Wa'er.
The Glottal stop has become somewhat subdued in our accent. I'd argue, there is probably still remnants of a glottal stop, and he isn't literally sah bah/bar, it's just less pronounced.
No ideas what your talking about but Australians do not say say wa'er or bu'er.
Woda is water.
Budder I'd butter.
What your saying is not our accent!
@@MultiEmmet OMg read my comment. I didn't say Australian's did. I'm saying where the Bah/bar came from. Go to the timestamp, then read my comment.
And then READ the part of my comment that says " You will hear it in some very informal English and Scottish accents"
In Some British and Scottish accents.... ffs. The Bah comes from that part of the accent. There were fucking examples of an English or Scottish accent that uses a Glottal T. FFS
I like watching you react at someone else reacting at a video.
That guy has little to no education but he has the typical Aussie ‘help a mate’ attitude. You said you have to speak properly all day for work and like to use slang in your off-time. That is pretty much what we do, but listening to that bloke, I would think, the way he spoke in the interview, is the only way he knows how to communicate. More power to him though, he’s a good friend to have in a difficult situation. I’d not mind if he were my neighbour and I’d lend him a cup of sugar or a tool he needed, no worries.
ok J this will make me lol for sure bro .... im a liking this one before it starts lol
Thats us Aussies, thats the slang we all grew up understanding, lots of people think when we Aussies are speaking we talk really fast , I think we do because we have cut words short to get to the point of things, what is funny is to here two slang Aussies having a argument, the lingo, the slang is raw but I love them for being true blue Aussies
Bloke is also in common usage in NZ
It's not so much less educated in some cases, it also depends on what part of Oz yer from. I'm in the country so I have the broad rural Australian accent as against someone from the city.
Yes you gotta check out the vids on Karl Stefanovic from the Today show. There is several compilations on him.
In a nutshell... Ain't nobody got time for dat!
Thanks for this educational, but also very amusing video, Joel. You might be interested in a video comparing and contrasting English accents Australia v NZ v S Africa v England v Canada. Where they differ, which pronunciations were similar, etc was very informative for me. There are several videos on TH-cam covering aspects of this, and some include US accents too.
Yeah I'm looking forward to Jps' reaction to South African.
There was a native darker skin population there with some different groups and languages.
Then white people came and speak English with a different accent. There's a language called Afrikaans or something
You need to have a look at the Bachelors and Spinsters Ball which is held once a year in the Outback - truely Australian
