great video! Can you do other canadian accent tutorials? I really wanna learn to speak in a canadian way. I'm still new here in Canada and obviously i'm still fob and i just wanna improve my english but of course using canadian accent. I would appreciate it if you would! Thanks c:
Why do we care about how people say roof or vehicle? Canada, USA, Britain, Australia--we are all independent countries; we're allowed to be different. Honestly people...
Depending on where you are from there are different accents for English and no such thing as ONE accent or a Proper accent for the English Language. For example, British English, USA English are different from each other. Also parts of Canada sound different than other parts of Canada. I am from Ontario and when I went to Alberta they made fun of the way I say my A's. Instead of people making fun of accents people should appreciate all our diverseness! After all, English is VERY hard to learn!
I am a Canadian living in the US, and yes, Canadians do say "about" (and out and house) in a different way that sounds close to aboot. Of course Canadian accents differ amongst themselves. You are definitely from the maritimes - I would guess northern Nova Scotia because of the donair thing, (which I have only ever seen on Trailer Park Boys), and because you have neither a newfie nor a "sooouth" shooore" accent.
Before you try to instruct people on the 'correct' way to pronounce things, perhaps you should instruct yourself on exactly how to correctly spell things.
Phenetics, or numerical taxonomy, is the classification of organisms based on similarity.
Phonetics is the study of the pronunciation of words.
Okay, your mum and dad and sister on the couch all pronounced the words you gave them the Canadian way, however the teenage guy (your brother?) pronounced them all the American way. I don't get it, to be honest. And a tamale is a pepper.
I don't understand the roof part. It's just the way both Americans and Canadians pronounce it. About is the only one that has a difference. Candians = abuh-wt
Hi, looking cold in Canada eh? What part of Canada is her accent from? Because unlike the UK Canada doesn't have regional accents. She can't be a newfie, doesn't sound like she is from NS and definately not from Quebec, I am guessing the west coast or Prairies?
News flash: About is "about" everywhere where people pronounce it properly, not just Seattle. Venture out of your little world and you'll notice this. Or... just turn on the TV. Or wait! Listen to how people in other parts of the US speak on YouTube too! They ALL say "about" unless they're weird.
The american way of pronouncing "about" is of course the most correct way....because it's american and americans are always right. Every other dialect is incorrect, of course.
You should learn to address your comments - esp when replying to comments posted well over half a year ago.
So, your sarcasm is most amusing. I wasn't talking about an "American" pronunciation of the word - an ACCEPTED pronunciation of the word. But to go along with your silly point, why would you ignore the way 300 million people speak the INTERNATIONAL language of English? Canada is a 1/10th of that. And cut that in half for the English-speaking portion. You're just silly...

I replied to the comment posted half a year ago, of which you replied thereafter. In effect, you are replying to a comment that was replied to half a year ago.
We can then come to a general consensus that the canadian pronunciation of saying about is ACCEPTED as well. I think what we Canadians are trying to get at, is that our pronunciation is always scrutinized when traveling south.
Then allow me to speed things up rather than wait 6 months. I wasn't alerted to your original post, yet you were to mine and waited 6 months - not quite the same now is it?
Yes. We like to tease your goofy way of pronouncing things. So what? We're teasing. And I have been to CA countless times and NEVER get to leave without hearing TONS of anti-American sentiment, so what are you belly-aching about?
You guys will always be views as our goofy little neighbors to the north.
And you'll always be thought of as the violent, racist, red-necks down south :)...kidding by the way. "Goofy little neighbours"...not demeaning and belittling at all.
LOL. With your joking aside, every Canadian with a shred of intelligence knows that not all of the US are red necks.
Toughen up, clown. It's this hyper-sensitivity to jokes from the US that feeds the inferiority complex the majority of the nation seems to have. Relax... be glad that Canada is not thought about much from the world. Being in the spotlight all the time isn't exactly ideal, you know.
No. Techinacally, the correct way to say a word from a particular language, is to say the word from where the language came from. In this case, the English words would be correctly pronouced in England. (NOT Inculding Scotland/Wales/NorthernIreland.)
Me; and every English person I have met or ever talked to (ALOT seeing as I live there) pronouse the R's. Where the hell did you hear that from? Or are you thinking of the steriotyipcal Queen's English that no one but royality and london snobs speak?
It doesnt matter anyway. We both know the correct way of pronounciation. And how people in England Pronounce it. Now all you are trying to do is win a internet agrument.
Remember this aguring on the internet is like being in the special olympics win or loose your still retarted.
You Canadians don't have any Mexican restaurants? Jesus...
And wouldn't it be easier to simply type "tamale" in any search engine on the Internet to get your answer? Canadians are so silly, but we love you goofy bastards just the same! You're our silly little neighbors to the north. Every Canadian I've ever met was nice, but you guys take yourselves too seriously. :-)
Of course it would have been easier. But I think she's just trying to have some fun with her video. "Silly little neighbors"? "Goofy bastards"? Go fuck yourself, you pretentious bitch.
LOL! Wow, you're a feisty little guy, aren't you?!
Your "just trying to have some fun" thing sure wouldn't apply if you were watching an American video calling Canadians "goofy little bastards" and "silly neighbors to the north". Clearly!
But yes, I stand by my statement - the whole thing. You're all nice (not you, most of you), but you all suffer from some sort of inferiority complex. I can see why though. It's alright, so just calm down.
It's a Canadian video. She was trying to have fun by getting answers about her question from viewers. I'm nice to people who don't insult me and my country. I don't think what I said was that outrageous, and it was probably the reaction you were expecting from your condescending attitude. Your opinion is yours to have though I suppose so I'll just leave it at that.
A tamale is a red, hot cinnamon flavored candy (also called red hots). They can be hard or soft. They're usually pretty small and come in a bag. You can get them at candy stores.
A lot of people think Canadians say "a boot" when it is not true, A boot is what you wear. People in Scotland and Ireland say that, well "a but" sometimes.
A donair is a spicy meat that is new to the world, first made in the east coast of Canada- It is pressed into a roast shape and cooked on a greek or middle eastern gyro type cooker and shaved off and served in a pita or sandwich with lettuce and such as you like.
That was so cute. You Canucks have a great accent. "About" comes out "A-boat". Try asking your family to say "house" next time. It's the easiest way to tell when someone's from Canada. Stay cool. Pato
Alanna,I like your accent.A tamale is a meal wrapped in a corn husk.Usally made from fine ground beef,corn meal,and several spices.Usually a hot spice included.They are really good when the wheather is cold!
here in Texas tamales are usually made with pork filling instead of beef, but i have heard of them having all kinds of fillings elsewhere. i like the sweet tamales too. theyre made with raisins and are about 1/3 the size of a regular one. also the ones with green chiles and cheese are tasty. yummm! xD
About... say the word ouch.. the OU sound is the same, its not a BOAT!! and a smarty is a little candy that comes in a package.. that is really sugary! not chocalate?! and and and a tamale, well ill explain that later <nod>
at the end i say no idea but it cut it off and my last scene REALLY reminds me of lonelygirl15-ahhh.Other people have told me that that scene reminded them of LG15 too-uhoh

A tamale is like chile,meat, all wrapped up in a corn batter and wrapped once more in a dry corn husk. Except you don't eat the husk.
I'm from canada as well and I had the same trouble with the foods and what not.
