@nicktesla45 Are you really one to talk about being a "Highly Educated" person when you're punctuation/grammar is horrendous and you're being condescending to people? The whole point of this video is to distinguish the way different people pronounce "Chicago" with different accents, so for you to be saying that our pronunciation is wrong a) is offensive, b) is wrong, and c) makes you look like an ass.
When you say Chicago it should be like you are softly trying to hush-up a noisy child , like Shhhhhhh ------ Chicago with a curl in the A . A Real Chicago Accent from a Highly Educated person is a Beautifull thing to hear . It IS the most Classiest accent of all . That lady that Corrected her was Right . It Should Be Pronounced with class and Pride !
@13atlthrashers (Smile) To attend an Ivy league School does Not always teach you about Real Academic Style . to do that you need to master the Chicago University Manual of Style my dear fellow . Rent it from your local library, At the very least you will be amused . (smile)
@nicktesla45 thats not what I was getting at. You say real academic style and real chicago accent as if there is a correct way to speak with a chicago accent. also if you think I will find any enjoyment out of reading a manual on formatting and citation cover to cover then your mistaken. feel free to boast about how your "real academic style" is for real academics when the rest of the english speaking world uses mla and apa
I only here very subtle differences in vowel sounds and such, but the way she speaks and strings words together is a pretty big give away for me. I'm from Seattle if it matters lol :D
THIS is what a "Chicago accent" sounds like to me. I am from Southwest Michigan, right across the lake from Chicago, and we have a large population of Chicagoans who come here for weekend and/or summer getaways. Many have 2nd homes here. This is a very common accent around here, infact, most of us Southwestern Michiganders have a close accent to this. The "Chicago accent" is a little stronger, possibly because it's not far from Wisconsin or Minnesota, where this accent is very common.
i agree Chicaaagooow people sound funny as hell LMFAO same as wiscownnsuuun, minesoooowtaa, Bassstaannn. and Jew york people... they remind me of disabled people.....why dont they just talk normal like California , oregon, washington, arizona people?
@llHyRaXll Why don't they sound "normal?" It's called a fucking accent dumbass. And the reason why people in those states don't have accents is because they haven't been established as long as the eastern united states. The west is basically void of any culture. No history, No character, just superficial and squeaky clean, At least the eastern states are unique. The only thing good about the west, is mountains/scenery.
@kylem1112 the west has the best wheather best climate, scenery, cities, and best people.....its not full of immigrants and foreigners like NY and all those eastternt cities.... the west has the best ulture and normal ACCENT wich is internationally recognized as american english..... talking with your funny accent does make you unique, but at the same tame an idiot...and no you are not special
@llHyRaXll The jokes on you. I'm from colorado bitch. Not full of immigrants and foreigners? are you stupid? have you been to los angeles or san fransisco? There is no normal accent dummy. The u.s is big, there isn't just one accent. There's diffrent accents in england too. as well as any english speaking country/country for that matter just cause it sounds different to you doesn't mean it's not normal.
@kylem1112 it sounds different to almost everybody so yes your annoying accent is not normal... didnt you ever notice almost everyone on tv talks with a west coast accent?? when people think of america they think of the west accents not the dumb colorao, minessota/chicago/ boston. or red neck accents,,, stop denying the truth because your accent is a minoirty accent and not a Normal american accent like the rest of us
@llHyRaXll Dude have you even been to colorado? most of us sound just like californians. There are people with southern accents but most of those people are from other states living in colorado. You're fucking dumb as shit man
I agree- I lived in Seattle and knew people from Colorado- the accents sounded virtually identical same with California.- I'm originally from the NYC area but have traveled all over the country and know about all the different regional accents.
I get that I have a Chicago accent all the time and I really don't get how I like sound..I wish I knew what my accent sounded like to other people, lol.
I also have the accent and I love and proud to be from CHICAGO. Now I live in lame ass Florida. Fuck everybody up the ass if they don't like ppl from Chicago.
OMG! I have the same accent! Im from Texas and my dad is from Chicago so i picked up on his accent and everyday i get asked where im from and it get annoying!
I'm from the Chicago 'burbs and never thought I had an accent, although a lot of people from the South and NW sides have what I would consider Chicago accents. I moved to Connecticut a few years ago and get a lot of comments about my accent. Someone at work asked if I was from Montana. I said that I was from Chicago and she said "I could tell your accent was somewhere around Montana or Chicago"--as though they're neighboring states. So I had a Mexican spit in her food. PS Renee, you're adorable.
I'm from chicago too and in my voice class im the only one who's from chicago and everybody's like omg you have a n accent. like stfu. especially my teacher she hates the way I say chicago and pronounces my A's she's a white south african.
i dont hear a chicago accent and im born and raised in california. only the way you say chicago sounds different. oh and believe me, not all californians are that rude :O i apologize on that chicks behalf.
But I don't know how anybody can say that the Michigan/Ohio area is "mid west", seriously? Its EAST of the Mississippi (mid west is region between mississippi and rocky mountains) and its in the EASTERN time zone. So if anything, its "mid east". Come on people. lol :)
It's not possible to not have an accent(: Everyone has an accent! And I loooove them all. Chicago accents are great! I'm from Ohio so I have the plain mid-west accent haha. I bet we sound like the woman she was copying in the video to everyone else(: Anyway you're really cute and funny!
I was born in New York and moved to Illinois a few years later can have lived in the Chicagoland area ever since, so my accent is weird as hell. But where the hell did the lady get Chi-cah-go from? I always thought it was Chi-CAW-go :P
If u wanna hear the strongest south side of Chicago accent look up a video of Mike North from chicago ESPN radio talking.. I always listen to him on the radio, im from chicago and his accent stands out to me lol
I'm from the city of Chicago also. When I first met my long lost cousin from San Fransisco area during our grandfather's funeral in Niles, I noticed he had a Californian accent, "dudes". I have a Chicago accent also but I stutter a bit.
I find it amazing that someone could try to tell someone else that they're pronouncing a city's name wrong when that same person they're "correcting" is from that city.
I wonder what might have happened had she met someone from New York; she'd probably make some beligerent comment about how they can't pronounce the "r" in their own city's name (no disrespect, New Yorkers).
yeah when ur from chiago u think u dont have an accent but to new yorkers and southerns ours is the strongest for some reason. least thats wat ive been told by southern family members lol
This is amazing! I am also from Chicago so you sound perfect to me :) I am also Mexican and would totally have approved if you had a Mexican spit in her food.
I am from Chicago 2! I was at disney and this chick was freaking out about my band t-shirt and when I said "yeah! I LOVE THIS BAND!" she just gave me a weird look and said.."Oh, your from Chicago" WTF?!
I'm from Chicago too....and this dude from Indiana said I'm saying Chicago wrong...he said he knows because all his family is from Chicago...but he grew up in Indiana...what an idiot!! I don't hear my accent at all!!
There's a happy medium to- simply "Chicago" as most of the country pronounces it- there is a very tiny small portion of the country that says "Chi-caw-go- Northeastern New England and Southwestern PA
The inland north (Detroit- Buffalo- Rochester- Cleveland-Chicago- Milwaukee) says Chi-cah-go
Do people from Iowa or Central Indiana sound "Southern" to you?- those are the most neutral midwestern accentsin the country- if so, then yes you have an accent-
People from Chicago have super thick accents compared to the rest of the midwest such as Indianapolis, Kansas City, Des Moines, Omaha- that's where the accents are more neutral
hey tht's just how we pronounce chicAHgo. lol we're from chicago so that's how we're gonna pronounce it! U can pronounce it chicAWgo. I honestly didn't think we had an accent
There are other ways to pronounce "Chicago" The only parts of the country that pronounce Chicago like "Chicawgo" are Northeastern New England and the Pittsburgh PA area. The great lakes area does pronounce it like "Chicaahgo" but the rest of the country says "Chicago"
I was born in Chicago and have lived in the area my whole life (20 years). I feel like people overestimate the accent. I will admit that midwesterners seem to talk without opening our mouths all that wide, but I just don't hear that much of a difference between us and what I hear on TV. Maybe I'm just used to it.
The indianapolis area has probably the most neutral accent in the state- everyone talks like David Letterman- well I guess that's because he's from there.
She does have a thick accent, but there are some people here that have heavy accents too. Many I've heard have the same accent, even though a lot of them may be mild
The Western New England accent has in fact been described as a mild version of the Inland North (includes Chicago) accent so that may explain some of the similarities
Alota ppl who actually live in Chicago say chicawgo. Lived in metro Chi my whole life and although it's somewhat true it's not as much as ppl say. Me my fam friends everyone I know says chicawgo. It's funny I see ppl from the burbs here say chicahgo. Weird. I dunno
I found this video by googling "Chicago accent" after yet another bumpkin found my pronunciation of Chicago amusing in just the same way she describes here in this video. I probably appreciate this video and what she has to say in it more than most people because I used to live in California and that was also the first place that my so called "accent" was pointed out to me. It was actually worse there than it is here in Georgia.
tehee i live in Chicago, in Beverly, so it's like a really heavy accent area, so like when i went on a cruise w/ my family, people always asked me to say lings, like car, and chicago, and a bunch of other stuff :]] it was fun. they loved us
I have the gift of correctly guessing where people come from by listening to the way they speak. They're always shocked when they hear me accurately pick their native state, or city.
Chicagoans usually transform the "th" sound into a hard "t". Example: Smith is "Smit"; toothbrush is "toot-brush", etc. And of course lets not forget about all of those wheat thrashing R's... :-)
I lived in Chicago my entire life and just moved to Arizona. Its the A sound that makes the Chicago accent. Which is exactly why she's talking about in this video.
Someone from Chicago pronounces it ChiCAgo while other say ChiCOgo.
Someone from Chicago pronounces the word "bag" as "BAYg".
@fol2005 : Well, you are correct about the "a" pronunciation. But, Chicagoans still have those "r", and "t" sounds as well. Yeah, how do they manage to pronounce "bag" as "BYAG"? Kind of hard to duplicate, isn't it?
@terrafirma91 I'm from Chicago (a sounds like o in the word odd) born and raised. i've heard the variations of the letters you're talking about (th for hard t) but only on a rare occasion, it doesn't appear to me to be the norm. I've even hear "d" for "th" dis, dat for this that, which always strikes me as odd. I'm interested in your reference to the "thrashing r". What's that about? do you have an example. i'm intrigued to know what we do with that letter, you're not the first to mention it.
@cheers967 : Off the top of my head I would say the word "brown", or the word "rascal". Certain Chicagoans probably don't say it the same way, and this can also carry throughout the midwest. Say the word "bar". See what I'm getting at?
The "D" is inconsequential- many parts of the country do that- that's not Chicago
The Thrashing "Rs" are correct as well as the "hard vowels" you pronounce the "r's" and vowels very "haaahhhrrrrd" - that's an example I guess- however Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Toledo (to an extent) Buffalo and "RRRAAACHHHesterrrr" do it to.
@terrafirma91 Okay I see that native people have the accents of replacing the "d" for the "t" , or using the "t" instead of "th" or especially the pronunciation of the "a" but what is the "thrasing 'r' u guys keep talking about?? I'm from Chicago and I'd like to know...
All the times i have gone else where in the states. People always guess dead on that i grew up in Chicago. Don,t know how since i have a slight irish accent. Yeah that lady did sound rather rude. Try that in Chicago and see how smooth it goes down there. I think not.
I have really weird Canadian-y Chicago accent since I was born in Calgary but grew up in Edgewater (Andersonville, represent! Haha). I say house, out, sorry, ect in a Canadian accent, but people have told me I stress my a's like a Chicagoan when I visited other cities. Anyways, forget that lady. Chicago accent=earcandy, sorry LA.
@WesternWinds0 Same for me but vice versa. I was born in Chicago but sometimes I find myself saying things like a Canadian. I stress my a's alot. I say on like it ryhmes with don not dawn. Weird.... But when I say nose I say it like a canadian. Love Canada btw.
And it's sooo true about the "Chicago" accent--their "o" sounds more like "a" to midlanders/westerners. This means that their "dollar" sounds more like "daaahhller" to somebody in the midland/west. It's part of the Northern Cities Vowel Shift (but this is misleading because it's really limited to the Great Lakes), which in turn is part of the Inland North dialect.
@ducttapeheart Oh, I kinda know what you mean. I almost had to move, I was born and raised for quite a few years in Chicago and I'm in Ohio, have been for a while and I hate it. There's absoultely nothing. So I kinda know how you feel. But hang in there, us Chicagoans, we're tough. ;)
MI and Iowa...ya, i had the same experiences when I was there. It seemed there were a great deal of Aussies there too..I was not impressed with them..thought I would be. I lived in W. hollywood...rat race 'll tell ya. You probably live in West LA?
@LastBattle2006 i used to live in new york and now i reside in ohio. it is kind of annoying hearing everyone say "pop" instead of "soda". "pop" is a ugly sounding word and not only that but if you look at the can itself it says "soda" on it. it doesnt say "pop" lol. i dont know how that word got started and became so popular in the mid-western states.
The full name is soda-pop so I can see how it got started. I'm from Chicago and when I asked a hotel employee where the pop machine was (in San Fransisco), he looked at me like I was crazy. I really like that we say pop. I guess it just depends on where u were raised.
Yeah their is. I never thought that until I moved to cali. Everybody says you have a chicago accent. I grew up in Logen square until I was 21 and then moved to cali. Never thought of people from chicago having accents, but we do.

People from Chicago have super thick accents compared to the rest of the midwest such as Indianapolis, Kansas City, Des Moines, Omaha- that's where the accents are more neutral

hey tht's just how we pronounce chicAHgo. lol we're from chicago so that's how we're gonna pronounce it! U can pronounce it chicAWgo. I honestly didn't think we had an accent

@mzmoett
There are other ways to pronounce "Chicago" The only parts of the country that pronounce Chicago like "Chicawgo" are Northeastern New England and the Pittsburgh PA area. The great lakes area does pronounce it like "Chicaahgo" but the rest of the country says "Chicago"
Yes, people from Chicago have strong accents.

I was born in Chicago and have lived in the area my whole life (20 years). I feel like people overestimate the accent. I will admit that midwesterners seem to talk without opening our mouths all that wide, but I just don't hear that much of a difference between us and what I hear on TV. Maybe I'm just used to it.

The indianapolis area has probably the most neutral accent in the state- everyone talks like David Letterman- well I guess that's because he's from there.

She does have a thick accent, but there are some people here that have heavy accents too. Many I've heard have the same accent, even though a lot of them may be mild

@mortalcottonslasher1
The Western New England accent has in fact been described as a mild version of the Inland North (includes Chicago) accent so that may explain some of the similarities

Alota ppl who actually live in Chicago say chicawgo. Lived in metro Chi my whole life and although it's somewhat true it's not as much as ppl say. Me my fam friends everyone I know says chicawgo. It's funny I see ppl from the burbs here say chicahgo. Weird. I dunno

Who is this girl? She is so Cute!
I found this video by googling "Chicago accent" after yet another bumpkin found my pronunciation of Chicago amusing in just the same way she describes here in this video. I probably appreciate this video and what she has to say in it more than most people because I used to live in California and that was also the first place that my so called "accent" was pointed out to me. It was actually worse there than it is here in Georgia.
I gotta google her now
CUTE!

I have the gift of correctly guessing where people come from by listening to the way they speak. They're always shocked when they hear me accurately pick their native state, or city.
Chicagoans usually transform the "th" sound into a hard "t". Example: Smith is "Smit"; toothbrush is "toot-brush", etc. And of course lets not forget about all of those wheat thrashing R's... :-)

Wow... you could not be more wrong.
I lived in Chicago my entire life and just moved to Arizona. Its the A sound that makes the Chicago accent. Which is exactly why she's talking about in this video.
Someone from Chicago pronounces it ChiCAgo while other say ChiCOgo.
Someone from Chicago pronounces the word "bag" as "BAYg".
fol2005 1 year ago
@fol2005 : Well, you are correct about the "a" pronunciation. But, Chicagoans still have those "r", and "t" sounds as well. Yeah, how do they manage to pronounce "bag" as "BYAG"? Kind of hard to duplicate, isn't it?
terrafirma91 1 year ago
@fol2005
Not really "bayg" that's a Minnesota thing "bay-ehg" is more accurate.
ohso41 1 year ago
@terrafirma91 I'm from Chicago (a sounds like o in the word odd) born and raised. i've heard the variations of the letters you're talking about (th for hard t) but only on a rare occasion, it doesn't appear to me to be the norm. I've even hear "d" for "th" dis, dat for this that, which always strikes me as odd. I'm interested in your reference to the "thrashing r". What's that about? do you have an example. i'm intrigued to know what we do with that letter, you're not the first to mention it.
cheers967 1 year ago
@cheers967 : Off the top of my head I would say the word "brown", or the word "rascal". Certain Chicagoans probably don't say it the same way, and this can also carry throughout the midwest. Say the word "bar". See what I'm getting at?
terrafirma91 1 year ago
@cheers967
The "D" is inconsequential- many parts of the country do that- that's not Chicago
The Thrashing "Rs" are correct as well as the "hard vowels" you pronounce the "r's" and vowels very "haaahhhrrrrd" - that's an example I guess- however Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Toledo (to an extent) Buffalo and "RRRAAACHHHesterrrr" do it to.
ohso41 1 year ago
@terrafirma91 Okay I see that native people have the accents of replacing the "d" for the "t" , or using the "t" instead of "th" or especially the pronunciation of the "a" but what is the "thrasing 'r' u guys keep talking about?? I'm from Chicago and I'd like to know...

Haha, this is sooo funny.
And it's sooo true about the "Chicago" accent--their "o" sounds more like "a" to midlanders/westerners. This means that their "dollar" sounds more like "daaahhller" to somebody in the midland/west. It's part of the Northern Cities Vowel Shift (but this is misleading because it's really limited to the Great Lakes), which in turn is part of the Inland North dialect.

The full name is soda-pop so I can see how it got started. I'm from Chicago and when I asked a hotel employee where the pop machine was (in San Fransisco), he looked at me like I was crazy. I really like that we say pop. I guess it just depends on where u were raised.
