@FCSchalke77 lol and whi you daen way a name like Schalke when yer Scottish? hahahaha mon the teddies! lol aye ma da has a go at me all the time lol Bill and Ben lol
@ScottMcK9 ... hi mate, well I used to go to ibrox quite a lot but got fed up with it and I startedfollowing Schalke, the german league is far better to follow .. but still want Rangers to win every week too :) I love how people react to the glaswegian accent, I for one don't change the way I talk when I'm anywhere else lol
@FCSchalke77 I can't knock you for it bud, I was born and brought up supporting Rangers, and although never a season ticket holder, I just feel I could never support or like any other team. I love Rangers with a passion, they could get relegated for all I care and I'd still love them all the same.
Schalke are a quality side, the Bundesliga, although I don't watch, common knowledge it's full of absolute quality, so I see your point. And aye, too right mate lol be proud of our banter! :D
@robbie2737 It's opinionated, if I were to talk normal to people like you, and speak at a normal tempo, it's about 10 times faster than anyone in your country talks at, because about 10 words become about one, example
Whidjaewaaedaeaenoo = what do you want to do the now
That's the difference between the way I talk normally, as opposed to me translating for those that don't have a clue :)
@ScottMcK9 No problem,I thought that was the normal way you talk,very slow...Just for kicks,I'd like to hear your normal speed..just out of curiousity.
@robbie2737 I could see about doing that at some point, I haven't much to show for that, I often force myself to slow up what am saying so that at least people understand what am saying, like foreigners who don't speak English as a first language.
@Shannon98xx I have nothing against you, but of course some people may pick me up wrong. I certainly ain't a ned, it's one of those things that in Glasgow there are so many different ways of people speaking with dialect, but the accent remains similar :)
@Shannon98xx lol because you speak perhaps more proper English this makes you higher class? No it doesn't :) the man that believes in equality is better than anyone who thinks they're of higher worth ;)
@seannyboii1 lol that's the thing though, I suppose no matter where you go in Scotland, people abroad etc have trouble understanding us and you tend to find a lot look to learn our dialect for their work or if they're doing plays etc. At least giving them something to better understand, that way they don't get the wrong impression the media give out, that's the way I see it.
@Shannon98xx Explain the definition of Glaswegian, if you are born in Glasgow, you are Glaswegian. Let me guess, you aren't passed the age of 20 yet and are struggling to understand the fact that Glaswegian can be a range of things from proper to various different dialect from the east to the west. And yes, I am Glaswegian, I was born and brought up in the east end. "oh my god man he's pyoor posh mahn am a wee ned" lol
@justthistime1000 Like explained, in Glasgow, you'll hear 'maste' being said for 'most' or 'mare' being said for 'more'. Your typical Glaswegian will think that's just our slang, it really isn't lol it's quite funny because it is Scandinavian.
@justthistime1000 It's because the Vikings were from the likes of Norway, Scandinavian and you find because they attacked the western parts, no doubt over the years it's mixed throughout Scotland. The strongest Viking heritage you'll find in Scotland will be the beautiful north west, but as you know from highland clearances and stuff, no doubt a lot were forced off the land and others would've ended up in cities like Glasgow etc. We do speak similar as the way we speak is influenced by it.
Probably one of the harder English dialects to understand for me, as a person with a midwest American accent (flat, nasally). It reminds me a lot of Middle English actually :-P
@bernlin2000 Modern English derived from old Scottish dialect, which is perhaps the reason why. A lot of Americans will put down their own accent, to me I personally love it, then again, am foreign to it.
It is a little more difficult to understand your accent, but I do understand you. I'm from all over the US. There have been a few people from Scotland who spoke fast & with a heavy accent & I could not understand them, and as a young girl who came here to the US schools my friend even had to go to ESL classes because she herself couldn't understand us, & we couldn't her..
@pineappleupside Understandable, accents different from ourselves, sound entirely different and because things are pronounced differently, it's perhaps why. What's the ESL classes? :) I get what you mean though, it's the same in reverse :D
@ScottMcK9 ESL is English as a second language, which was strange they had her in there since she got the alphabet, & could read & understand vocab - well she spoke English & it's her native language, y'know.. I think it was just for speech purposes.. It was when we were all in Elementary school, so she was very young..
Most people from Scotland though, I seem to understand.. But Glasgow, well yea - that can be a bit hard :-) What English accents do you have a particularly hard time with?
@pineappleupside lol it does sound quite funny that aye, she'd be stuck in some course like that, especially when she speaks English, but understand. I can understand though, strong Glaswegian can be a lot of different words, and often things are joined together, which is why things can often be hard to understand. We don't say 'tomorrow' or 'together,' we say 'the morra' and 'the gether'. That's basic though. As for English accents? Brummie and newcastle can be very difficult to understand lol
I had to learn the translation of some scottish words myself like 'wee' or 'aye' :P
I can understand scottish though, even the glasgow scottish. Edinburgh is easier to understand because it's not so 'heavy' if you get what I mean hard to explain in typing.
@TheOneAndOnlyMe92 I think they have a longer pronunciation of the way they say things as well. So I know exactly where you're coming from by saying that. But yeah, the certain words and dialect is one of the most important things to understand how Scot's speak :) probably make a video later at some point of showing what is false and where people go wrong :)
I like the way you speak and I can understand you pretty well. That's great that you are proud of your identity and accent. I tell ya, if you come to America, people will flock to you because your accent sounds so cool!
@knarisa lol thanks Knarisa, it'd be quality to of course be able to go over to America. Regardless of whether I see Americans here or there, love foreigners and their accents etc :) so what people may think there, I'd probably think the same thing of them :) Cheers! :D
I have a very slight accent, kinda like a mix between a British accent and a, for lack of better term, American Hill Billy accent. When we moved across the US, people kept commenting on my accent, which made me very proud. I wish I had an accent like you have, and but I love my accent and wouldn't change it. : ) Keep up the videos, I really love them. : )
@crazyteensJHH And so you should be proud :) and aye it's all about having a pride for your own identity, uniqueness. I mean it's why I love hearing people outside my own boundaries. As for Hillbilly accent, Hillbillies were Scots that lived in the mountains, loyalist supporters of King Billy (Prince William of Orange.) So you'd find a lot of their dialect is Scottish. But aye, good that you are proud of your own identity :)
@janjohansen6 lol a large reason behind that is so that people can better understand. I think if I spoke pretty much quicker I start to come out with pure hardcore slang that makes things sound like one big word lol
I like the way you talk. It's different. My friend is Scottish (she's from Ayrshire though) but she purposely uses an English accent because she thinks it's easier for people to understand her that way. I wish she would just talk normally; it's a very pretty accent and we don't hear it often in America.
@downthestreetteam It pisses a lot of Scots off believe it or not, that these celebs who are Scottish put on fake proper accents when it really is not them. Saying that, did you know that Sean Connory would never have got a job in acting if it wasn't for him being forced to change how he talks? Says something! And thanks mate, it's perhaps differences, which is why to me a love American accents and elsewhere abroad.
@ScottMcK9 I can imagine how it would piss you off... it must be annoying. My friend changed her accent because she moved to Liverpool as a child and got made fun of a lot for the way she talked. But keep making more videos! I don't have difficulty understanding you :)
@downthestreetteam No problem at all mate, and I can understand that, especially if she moved there. A would never in a million years speak any different cause am proud of it, plus it's an identity. That I suppose is perhaps what annoys me when certain Scots speak differently, why should they? A can understand though if it's to help others understand. But aye, about to get another video uploaded to part two, question two. Cheers bud
@LillyLillyCaterpilly lol thank you Lilly, a don't have anything against the guy in general, but it gave me inspiration to do these videos. Obviously there are various amounts of video to make, that's Part one basically with the first question answered. So more to come :)
@bobtheawesomedude lol when you have two Glaswegian parents lol you'd understand the joined up jargon nae bother lol :D
