Hello hope you are well, your childhood was spent not far from me, thanks for the support and the appreciation of my dog snoring she is my family and stays in the videos some folk have moaned a little tek care
Loved this. I love hearing different regional accents and dialects. I’m a Londoner (not cockney), but my mum comes from Sheffield. Nottingham’s dialect it a bit similar to Sheffield’s.
At up mi duck thank you for watching and commenting and yes Sheffield is what less than a hour away we have lots of similar dialect as do Derbyshire take care x
Man, I can understand about half of that slang with some concentration. Kinda makes it all the more impressive that we managed to cross the Channel together into Normandy. Anyway, thanks for the video, it was definitely educational!
I was born in Sutton in Ashfield, and as a child lived in Mansfield, Walesby and Southwell (the latter a bit posh). I now live in Leicestershire and the accents are quite different. I remember often my Dad saying 'worriwirrissen'. As young men we referred to each other as 'yoooth' My grandfather drank 'watter'. "Intit" is definitely a sign of a notts person. Thanks.
Scouser here learning the Nottingham accent at the moment and this vid is so useful!!! It's such an interesting dialect, I love it!! (and hope it carries on ❤)
Hello Charlotte thank you and what s brilliant accent you have, do you ever hear actors trying to voice a scouse accent and just think what the hell, I know i do with my accent take care x
@@mish-mash4800 omg all the time 😭 makes it worse considering I’m actually an actor and sometimes when I hear dodgy scouse accents I realise it’s a role I went for 😂
Remember playing dungeons and dragons online wi me brother and a few friends during lockdown, an a Dutch lass joined us, she was quite apologetic about her English. Wi out skipping a beat my brother replied “it’s Alrate duck we’re from Mansfield we Bearly speak English any road” I couldn’t stop laughing 😂
As a young person from Notts it makes me somewhat sad that I only recognise half of the slang in the video and even then almost all are rarely said where I'm from, it really is a part of our culture that's dying out. Even the accent is rarely strongly heard from people of my generation, in and around my area, regardless of background.
Hello so very true it’s very sad, my youngest 2 sons are in mid and late 20s and they work in management my eldest is in his 30s a factory worker and he speaks with a more Notts pronounced accent, he always says his brothers speak posh, so even in my own family there is variations, take care
I grew up in Nottingham so recognise many of the words and phrases, they soon came back to me. One of my favourites is ‘yaint gennum ote aya’ You haven’t given them anything have you.
You are clearly a true nottnm lass. I personally speak both nottnm dialect and RP, and select whichever is appropriate for the conversation I'm having at that particular time, this had been massively helpful working in health and social care within nottnm over the years...(particularly within the north of the county and city!) I have slight issues with your pronunciation of pagid' in...I personally think there is slightly more of a t sound to the inflection than you used and the t falls on the second word as in pagid' tin (hope that make sense) I personally learnt my nottnm dialect in erewash valley so potentially that could be where the difference lies. I think it's hugely important we preserve these dialects for the future and don't end up with a homogenised language. But then I'm the sort of individual that tries to learn old Mercian (one of the origins of nottnmese) for the fun of it!! So nice to hear someone talking intelligently on TH-cam about nottnm dialect rather than just trotting off the usual stock phrases that appear on the mug that you referred to.
Hello very kind of you to comment and to do so with so much interest and intelligence I agree we need to preserve it but sadly it is disappearing, my own children, work in management and their accents are very much toned down, take care
@@allyouknitislove8823 thank you for the kind reply, in many ways I'm quite privileged to have the opportunity to use Nottingham dialect in a work context from time to time. Only today I had two back to back consultations, one where I got the best out of the patient I was talking to by speaking perfect queen's English, the other I got the best out of the patient by playing up the local dialect. Thankfully I had the parents and education to be able to speak both and more importantly to recognise which is right for the current interaction.
56 years in Mansfield, I still have a strong accent and dialect when at home but work has to be "talkin proper". Years ago in Berkshire was staying with the then in laws, mother in law was sat in a chair looking out of the window first thing in the morning with some binoculars. As I had just woken up the words wot ya dooin, bod wochin? slipped out. It took her a good 10 minutes to figure out what I had said. Funniest 10 minute of my life.
I think there is a general opinion that the Notts dialect is “lazy speak” when compared to RP but a lot of the origins of these phrases comes from the Danelaw and Vikings so it is a variation of English, not just slang.
It also makes me laugh when I see actors playing Robin Hood and his tribe - none of them ever try the Nott’s accents…this is what he should sound like 😂
😂infuriates me, mostly they sound more Sheffield to me. My youngest is 24 and when he was abut 5 or 6 he asked why the Disney Robin Hood sounded like people from an American show 😂 take care
I know of a guy from Nottingham who says YouToob, opportoonity, introdoose, etc... Is that part of the regional accent or has he developed it himself? Thanks a lot!
Eyup miduck is a book written by Rick Scollins. Comprehensive (and funny)sounds like another language now. by the way, is that a dog snoring or your old grandpa?
@@mish-mash4800 Thanks for the quick reply duck. We call that a ginnel in Lancashire! The book is called ‘What it Feels Like for a Girl’, if you’re interested. It is a bit of an eye-opener!
@@janicereeve1473 A ginnel tends to be (but not always) an entry-way between buildings (usually terraced houses, leading to the back garden) whereas a jitty is an open footpath. Where I grew up there was also conneries, which were shortcuts between buildings that weren't conjoined.
@@mish-mash4800 Agreed! I grew up in 'Ucknall. The more north you go, Yorkshire phrases (if not the accent) tend to creep in, like 'sithee' (see you!) and saying "t'" instead of "tuh" becomes more pronounced with a proper glottal stop (so "goint' shops" more than "gewin tuh shops"). Have to say I was into my 40's before I felt comfortable calling anyone 'duck' but I'll say it to anyone, not just friends and acquaintances. Oddly, I won't say it to relatives because I came from a 'posh' (!) part of Hucknall and we're scattered all ovver shop nah so a modern RP comes more naturally and a broader Notts accent is more of an affectation and deliberate choice depending on the situation.
I've heard so many different ways of pronouncing words in East Midlands I find it hard to recognise who's from where. Nottingham folks pronounce words so differently from Leicester ones and most of all Lincolnshire folks. East Midlands is probably the less defined area in the whole of the UK. If you cross over to Warwickshire-Birmingham-Black Country you'll immediately recognise them... this won't happen in East Midlands. BTW, who the heck is snoring???
Hello hope you are well, The Nottinghamshire dialect for me is the one people get wrong all the time, when I watch tv programmes from my area I get become quite annoyed that it’s not a true representation. The snoring is my little fur baby take care
@@mish-mash4800 Och!!! Sorry!!! Hi, I'm fae Scotland and I do know a wee bit about how an accent doesn't really get portrayed at all the way it should be... I've yet to find someone from 'abroad' (we're still British, luckily) who really nails our accent. As far as England is concerned we all know there are certain accents which sound quite recognisable indeed: Cockney, Scouse, Geordie, Brummie, somehow Wesssex, Yorkshire, Wales. Other accents are too hard to reproduce, few people can tell any difference between a Northern Irish accent and an Irish one, sometimes I hear people say the Ulster accent is 'Scottish' (????) East Anglian accent is a tough one indeed, i.e., but no doubt East Midlands is where almost anyone fails. I think it's also due to the fact that it's the place RP pronunciation started from, so most of the times an East Midlands accent might sound 'flat' and 'too English', 'too regular' with some features of a northern accent here and there. But as far as what I could hear, you all differ so much from south to north, west to east. Nottingham is clearly not Leicester and not Lincoln. Even less Northampton or Derby. Nottingham does get more northern influences compared to Leicester, but it's definitely not as northern as many people think and then perform! They do confuse it with Sheffield indeed. Leicester and Northampton are actually not that far, but Leicester is more pronounced as a Midlands accent. Lincoln and its surrounding area is to me what East Midlands is all about, that's the core of it. But if you move to the coastline things get interestingly confused, so you'll hear something of a Humberside accent pass to something of an East Anglian one within the space of a few miles! Derbyshire has a story of its own, it's too close to Coventry (south) and then to Manchester (north), that's where East Midlands start to fade in my opinion. Of course northern Nottinghamshire is actually Yorkshire through and through. Aye, Mish, East Midlands is difficult to learn, catch and then perform. That's why it's so interesting. ;-) Cheerio!!!
