@Counterbrilliance Only Canadians don't Really talk like this, I'm from Southern Ontario which is the most populated region of Canada, and we are very "Americanized". You wouldn't be able to tell us apart from a Westcoast of Midwestern American.
@November10th1775USMC Ahaha so am I, I'm from Guelph Ontario and hear people, well especially older adults, speak like this all the time - don't be deceived. Though some of the younger generation is gradually becoming ''Americanized'' as you say, we still all say ''sorey'' and use ''Eh'' as a casual interjection in a stereotypical manner. Do you know the ''Canadian raising'' phenomenon is the strongest in suburban Toronto of all places - we're borderline ''Fargo'' really.
@astamp3 Minnesota and the northern states are filled with Norwegian-Americans, literally 4-5 million people of Norwegian descent. The Germans are even more numerous. The sound is typical of the Norwegian, Danish and German "Ja".
@olden89c Ja, I know. There's a lot of scandinavian americans and german americans in the midwest. But do you really think it sounds norwegian? Imo norwegian Ja sounds more similar to swedish Ja than to danish or german.
@astamp3 Ah, but you are forgetting that Norway has two or three official written languages, and we use our multitudes of dialects when speaking. There is no "rikssvenska" here. What you have heard is probably several dialects.
The Ja-sound varies from region to region, but in general I think we speak a mix of the Swedish and Danish sounds.
@Wh3tst0nE not really, that's just a random fact good only for winning a tv quiz, if you're really lucky. Most likely youll end up quoting this and everyone in the room does that cricket chirping thingy and you will have successfully killed all the laughter in the room. Great job.
@Wh3tst0nE no you're not. :) Shittyfagg is just sort of a boring person that doesn't really care about anything. Don't judge humanity's level of curiosity on that guy..
In Swedish & German, "Ja" is always spelled with J and not with Y !!!!
Yes, I know that people who speak any Germanic language tend to say their Js as English Ys but that's simply the way we say J in general. It could have to do with the fact that there are so few words (in any Germanic language) where a Y is followed by another vowel !!
I am from Minnesota, I don't get it... don't people say "yeah" all the time everywhere? I understand the "you betcha's" and stuff being regional, but come on. Everyone says "yeah/yah"
@l2enegadesofFunk Since I'm used to idiots who doesn't know left from right on youtube and your "joke" isn't a joke to begin with there is the actual possibility that you didn't know what you were talking about.
@thewombatsshred Haha, that's no worries, I was just joking anyway! Cohen/Coen is an easy mistake, particularly since "Cohen" is the more common name.
@califinn No need to remember.. They still are pretty good. You just gotta look past all the Michael Bay shit and crappy Superhero movies to find the really good films.
I live in Fargo and I say yeah like dat! Oh and bye the way...fargo is in North Dakota! Not Minnesota! :P Also, only ladies that are in their late 30s and up really say you betcha or for fun! I thought everyone said yeah like that...oh well. Now excuse me while I eat ramen!
Speaking as a Norwegian (I'm guessing their accent is influenced by Norwegian?), I gotta say... Oh my god, that's annoying! It's like, not Norwegian but not American either, more like a mix of the two. Man...
@Niobesnuppa Yea, most of the people around the north midwest have ancestors that emigrated from Norway or Sweden. So much so that you can learn Norwegian, Swedish, and Dutch at the University of Minnesota (that's where I got my proficiency certification). A lot of our sayings and nuances in our speech are directly related to Scandinavian words. Most commonly, we pronounce the word "moon" almost exactly like you would pronounce the word "mån." Interesting, yea?
You pronounce it like mån? o.o It sounds like that accent is somewhat of a mixture of Norwegian and American pronounciation, 'cause they say more like jæ than ja or yeah.
Its really sad that I sound like that when i "Oh yeah" and "yeah betcha" . One time i went to New Jersey and the people started laughing at me because they thought i had a funny accent!
A lot of people here in Grand Forks, ND talk like that. You can really hear it in my biology teacher. And I do say yeah (or ja) a lot. But after you have lived here your whole life you don't notice it as much.
@ChowAtTheY Funny stuff...Keep it coming. By the way your country is now on a permanent war-footing worldwide, whereas in the EU we've managed to cut out the warmongering (amongst ourselves at least )...not that I can stand the rest of those freaks and wouldn't mind having a crack at them sometime.
Exactly. It's why it's called Fargo. Same reason why they said it was a true story when it isn't. It's to show that this kind of thing can happen anywhere through disorientation. Anybody who says this movie is about Fargo have not seen the movie. It's as much about Fargo as Chinatown is about Chinatown: Barely but just enough to make the location symbolic. Of course, Fargo plays a big role but like you said. There's only one scene in Fargo. The other guy clearly didnt watch it
@ChowAtTheY yes but soon we have left the dino days and rapidly heading towards better days when Hispanics and Middle Easterns inhabit big part of this area and you will hear instead of yyahh Si and .نعم
@ChowAtTheY yeah is pronounced as 'ja' thats Dutch from origin but Americans cant tell the difference anyways... I was once in the States, and nobody out there could tell where the Netherlands is presented on the map, its a small country ja, but Americans have no clue what is else out there in this world.. Egocentrism, America: we are so proud on our nation! Yeah!
@yonghost in some of the restaurants in Amsterdam, after dinner, a tray of joints is brought around...there are a few stores where they weeds in varieties like coffee and you can buy a buy of weed...and there are smoke lounges where you sit around and smoke weed...and there is one diner that uses weed in the cooking...you Dutch you and your Dutch Reformed Church...bet you smoke weed in church...and the Netherlands have a lot of dykes....and FYI...Spetters with a young Jeroun Crabbe is awesome
@yonghost Ja, isn't "exactly dutch" from origin. It's Germanic.. In Fargo, the peeps are Norwegian-Americans ("Ja" means "Yes" in Norwegian as well) , so that's why you hear it all the time..
@xcallx911xxxx Sure, but the whole film amplifies everything about the area and accent to the point of comedy. I guess the Coens like making "everybody's stupid and / or greedy" films and get to do it since it's their home state.
God knows, I've had "English" accents thrown at me while in the US and ...nothing I ever heard! It's either Coronation Street Mancunian or Hugh Grant / Colin Firth public school.
I dont understand why ppl dont read the comments cause if they did this question is asked 1000 times. Why ppl say Ya due to the fact this area Minnesota and a big part of the Northern Mid-Western were inhabitad by Norwegans and Swedes between 1810-1880. During a time around 1860 this area was called Scandinavian USA. Its not because of German infuence. There are germans all over US
@cornelia695 May also have to do with the fact that up until the 1950's, you were to speak German while in school. Which is why so many older folks up here speak it so well.
@sparkkle2 Seriously? They had to speak german in a school in the US? Ppl. who speak german - in the US? That's almost hard to believe, considering the way america likes to make fun of our language ;)
I didn't know there was any state in the US with that much german influence, that's awesome :) I'm just imagining how weired it would be to go there and being able to speak to the towns people in german, you don't find a lot of german speaking places in the world.
@h0ktar Yeah, you can't just do that. Most people, even in the small towns, don't just know German. Like everywhere else in the country, most kids take Spanish in school.
@h0ktar try going to Pennsylvania. lots of Pennsylvania dutch there, which is German but not traditional German. a lot of the Amish speak it and the older generations speak it. look it up here on youtube.
@cornelia695 Germans make up the biggest percentages in Minnesota, we are about 40%, all Scandinavians combined only make up 32%. In North dakota whos capital is Bismarck- think about that, we are also the dominate ethnic group.. Norwegians- you spell with an I!! are the second biggest group in north dakota, but we Germans make up almost half.. And when I or my family speak english and say yeah mine sounds like ja. which is German du dumpfbacke!! I know us Germans are quiet but shut up.
@cornelia695 and if you live in Minnesota like you say, you must not know about Sterns county? or NewULM? We Germans are the biggest ethnic group in Minnesota,Northdakota,SouthDakota,Wisconsin and Iowa. we are the midwest. Get your facts straight hell you couldve googled the facts before writing up false info.Even my friends from Norway noticed the big influence Gemans have on Minnesota,ND.. you must be blind.. I know Scandinavians and Germans share blood but sometimes i wonder.
Yeah this movie is very offensive. Yeah?

I live in MN and am yet to see someone with that thick of an accent.. "OH YAH"

@xcallx911xxxx Sure, but the whole film amplifies everything about the area and accent to the point of comedy. I guess the Coens like making "everybody's stupid and / or greedy" films and get to do it since it's their home state.
God knows, I've had "English" accents thrown at me while in the US and ...nothing I ever heard! It's either Coronation Street Mancunian or Hugh Grant / Colin Firth public school.

I dont understand why ppl dont read the comments cause if they did this question is asked 1000 times. Why ppl say Ya due to the fact this area Minnesota and a big part of the Northern Mid-Western were inhabitad by Norwegans and Swedes between 1810-1880. During a time around 1860 this area was called Scandinavian USA. Its not because of German infuence. There are germans all over US

@cornelia695 May also have to do with the fact that up until the 1950's, you were to speak German while in school. Which is why so many older folks up here speak it so well.

@sparkkle2 Seriously? They had to speak german in a school in the US? Ppl. who speak german - in the US? That's almost hard to believe, considering the way america likes to make fun of our language ;)
I didn't know there was any state in the US with that much german influence, that's awesome :) I'm just imagining how weired it would be to go there and being able to speak to the towns people in german, you don't find a lot of german speaking places in the world.

@h0ktar Yeah, you can't just do that. Most people, even in the small towns, don't just know German. Like everywhere else in the country, most kids take Spanish in school.

@cornelia695 Germans make up the biggest percentages in Minnesota, we are about 40%, all Scandinavians combined only make up 32%. In North dakota whos capital is Bismarck- think about that, we are also the dominate ethnic group.. Norwegians- you spell with an I!! are the second biggest group in north dakota, but we Germans make up almost half.. And when I or my family speak english and say yeah mine sounds like ja. which is German du dumpfbacke!! I know us Germans are quiet but shut up.

@cornelia695 and if you live in Minnesota like you say, you must not know about Sterns county? or NewULM? We Germans are the biggest ethnic group in Minnesota,Northdakota,SouthDakota,Wisconsin and Iowa. we are the midwest. Get your facts straight hell you couldve googled the facts before writing up false info.Even my friends from Norway noticed the big influence Gemans have on Minnesota,ND.. you must be blind.. I know Scandinavians and Germans share blood but sometimes i wonder.
