[kootenaylad]

[aurumdrakone]

[eydear]

Just had ta comment saying that yr a bit off with the accent..

[3trollers]

damn bhy,u mainlanders is right pathetic tryin to do dat accent,work on it cuz ur makin us look right stupid u is-.-

[carter789123456789]

@EpicGibson now der u go buddy u knows what your talking bout they got there words in der but they put it all wrong

[BloodRedCypher]

@EpicGibson Mark Critch is not a mainlander....

[TaylorSfan1977]

I was in Ontario and everyone we talked to they said we have an accent and im like WE DO NOT HAVE AN ACCENT!

[BostonCreamDonut]

@TaylorSfan1977 You have an accent, people who say they have no accents are so dumb, everyone on this planet has an accent.

[TaylorSfan1977]

@BostonCreamDonut For example if you heard some say from china and they say they don't have an accent,You know they have an accent but they don't

[BostonCreamDonut]

@TaylorSfan1977 For example if a Canadian like you ignorantly says you don`t have an accent, then an Australian meets you, he`s going to say jeez you sound different to me, you have an accent, you don`t speak english like I do, therefore you have an accent. Everyone who speaks the english language has an accent. You THINK you speak ``normal`` but to people in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, South Africa etc, you have an accent. Face it you`re making yourself sound like an idiot.

[TaylorSfan1977]

@BostonCreamDonut 1.I am only 10 i am not in 7th grade or higher 2.I am NOT AN IDOIT 3.I DO SPEAK ENGLISH I AM CANADIAN!

[BostonCreamDonut]

@TaylorSfan1977 Now I get it you`re 10, so you don`t understand what I`m saying, well kid you have an accent like it or not you do. What language do you think I was speaking when I replied to you. Btw it`s Idiot, not Idoit. So I guess you are an idiot, shouldn`t you been in school or something.

[TaylorSfan1977]

@BostonCreamDonut Today was a half day for kids in st.Johns,We are having a snow storm now and it is past 3 o'clock we get out at 3 o'clock

[Adzist1002]

Oh, I miss NL so much! greetings from Korea!

[TravelYourself]

@EpicGibson to each his own :) However they are both born and raised Newfoundlanders :)

[omfgzbah]

@TravelYourself I think what EpicGibson is referring to is your translation of the dialogue. Everyone on the island knows Mark Critch is a Newfoundlander. It seems he was just expressing his opinion that your translation was, not funny. It's actually quite ironic that you mistranslated his comment as well, haha. Either way, I enjoyed it. Great video!

[nicholishere]

ay` b`y dat was good talken dare!

[bikerkid08]

"this one little rock on the side of the coast the coast"... lol. Loves it ere by'

[DrThickoch]

Lol I like how by the end of the video she's pretty obviously tipsy.

[Konstiin]

ahaha I can't believe I understood what he said, been living in the maritimes 10 years now.

[alxsvdr]

Oh boy... where are the transcripts?

[aidsrabbies]

I understand most of that already from being Irish ha

[tarantula9200]

Listen bye's, I'll tell you! Me I been here in Ontario for 10 years and I only talks like dat when I'm talkin to anodder newf. I works 'ard suppressing me accent cause nobody understands me when I talks normal. Me hubby says when I gets on da phone wit me mudder he dont have no clue what all we is talkin about (he's from Ontario, you see). I loves Newfoundland and I wishes I could move back home tomorrow.

[Drummer424]

they calls it india so you can get em indiaaaa by

[leahsgx]

I likes my jiggs dinner right salty too maid

[scotty4142]

wadda ya at me son, gettin on da booze night or wha byss? loves bein a newfie

[juliepeno]

hahahaha.... what??

[gr8rootbear]

sounds like me when I'm drunk!

[TheJunedale]

My parents were from the Dublin area and i can understand Newfy

[LilMissDeviil666]

i'm born and raised in Newfoundland, wouldn't have it any other way. i understand every word. i talk pretty well exactly like that :) fast, and with that amazing accent! Newfies rock <3

[scotty4142]

@LilMissDeviil666 it wasn't until i started watching som newfie accents videos dat no one understood what we were sayin! i get every word bah!

[downhillstaggyful]

Bi's im from newfoundland u forgot dat when we says up da coast we actually mean down the coast and goin down da coast means goin up da coast

[allysonwheelie]

Is it called India, because when the explorers first came here, they thought it was India? (they called aboriginals "Indians"?)

[TravelYourself]

@allysonwheelie No Allyson I believe it's called India because the type of beer "India Pale Ale" was originally brewed in the UK and was exported to India and the way it was made made it last longer and kept better/longer as it was sent to India - search "India Pale Ale" on wikipedia and you will see more info :)

[max42777]

im from newfoundland and i dont really have the accent but i can totally understand it

[EthanFZ]

If your not born in Newfoundland you can't understand us lol :D

[jebus0000000]

Newfounland is so awesome! The people who live there are one of the most amazing people in the world. They're extremely genereous. very friendly and boy do they know how to party!?

[TaylorSfan1977]

I was born in Newfoundland and i know i mean i know when i say i know,i know i do NOT have an accent! well maybe a little but i sound like my flordian friend

[PIXELEDsamm]

"You might have yer hospital, but we has the school."

I fucking laughed so much, reminds me of my community.

[TheSmashBadger]

Theres a girl in my class from Newfoundland. I can tell because of how friendly she is, then she told me. Haha, she calls everybody "Mainlanders" all the time. I love Newfoundland :P

[giveittome143]

This Vancouverite can't understand @@

[18Chrissytina]

ive gone to cadet camp in NB and most of the people there where from NFLD ive gone to that camp for about 6ish years. and some words stuck. i find myself calling St John or St. Johns, St. Jahn or st Jahns. with a "a" sound in it i cant say it like a mainlander anymore (im from mainland Nova Scotia). ill put s' at the end of my nouns without realizing it sometimes. since i got alot of friends from newfoundland sometimes ill say "waddya at"

[VOCALOID401]

Actually, us Newfies aren't that hard to understand. You just have to know english!

[BIGBOWLSMOKER]

the comedian overdid-er a bit much bi, wha d ya say?



[TravelYourself]

@BIGBOWLSMOKER I don't think so - it was exactly what I was looking for and makes it funny :)

[jacobsmom001]

@TravelYourself Sounded good to me.....could have been me buddy talking about the weekend....too funny....it's hilarious when out of the province to talk like this and really screw with mainlander's heads. Side note....I can speak like this....or in such a way NO ONE knows I am from Newfoundland

[93decon]

@BIGBOWLSMOKER B'y* Whaddya*

[aboutahgirl]

@BIGBOWLSMOKER

Ah. No. Its pretty dead on.

You can't overdo the accent. No matter how insane you try to make it sound, there is somebody out there who is even more incomprehensible than you could ever be.

[TheGhostScorpion]

@BIGBOWLSMOKER yeah...sort of went off topic. you dont go on the jigs after da beer you'd yuck up yer guts

[NCIS44]

@BIGBOWLSMOKER Nope, it's exactly the way people talk

[cash2chronic]

@BIGBOWLSMOKER actually no .. theres thicker newfie accents than that

[89s10lvr]

@cash2chronic no me son nat thicker it's ticker

[DanikaJadeee]

I have no problem understanding them, and I don't think they sound that odd, haha. Guess I can't tell since I'm a newfoundlander myself, but my "accent" isn't this strong....I don't think.

[TheRealOneHotChick]

There's an app for that! look up "Newfoundland" for iphone or android. It's called Whaddaya App? :)

[aSuperBosnianMan]

I lvie on the west side of canada AND HOLY SHIT

[andyfedel]

Ha, Ha, Ha. very informative & entertaining video. As all Newfoundlanders know Newfoundland is many things to many people. There are originally the English, French,Portugese, Irish came in the days of the early 1800's bacallieu fishery, a smattering of chinese found their way there and in 1938 a Mr. Davis was the only African American man on the island. also recordings were done in 1960's in outports of rare authentic dialects dating back hundreds of years before electric, radio or television.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

He took my joke..I've been saying I don't eat cod tongues, moose tongue etc....cause I don't eat that can taste me back for years. I'm suing.

[yourapathy]

bahahaha intermarried

[newfietothebonesamps]

people who have been here like it.those who live here loves it a lot by

[dshero97]

People who say this is just Newfoundland come to Waterford ireland where this whole thing started

[newfypearl]

Sad part about this is how outsiders will view this....we Newf's can laugh at ourselves....but...some take it as gospel and leave with a bad impression of Newfoundlanders.

[MrROTD]

Moy Mudders fine yoo betcha,

[TheRealOneHotChick]

There's an app for iPhone and Android that translates Newfie into Canadian. It is called Whaddaya App and was made by some guys in St. John's. You can also find it by looking up Newfoundland in the app store. :)

[Lovemyselfidoes81]

Cailin is Hot

[DJEPik1337]

Yess' byy me fawking buddyy fawkking siick me ol'd cocky

[rdvqc]

NL is a great Darwinian study of language evolution (or not). The many years of isolation in the many "outports" generated isolated populations that evloved (or not) their language is isolation from the many others.

Fascinating.

[cp1302ger]

funny - i can so understand this accent - just the same as wexford

[Oreganostick]

three ways to die, heart attack, stroke, and chip fat fire.. thats awesome

[Newfieprnzzz]

Awesum by'e e

[SagadonGafringo]

[shannonkalfas]

I was born in ST. John's moved to america when I was 2.My mam always calls me her goofy newfie I am saving my money to come and visit but I would love to learn some of the little things I missed out on growing up in America this vid was so helpful! Thanks!

[nibblesfish]

@shannonkalfas

so nice. i hope you come! i promise you will love the place forever.

[disunflower]

Greg are you nuts?

[elemeniah]

@b5gregjockca hahaha, you proved my point beautifully!!!



[disunflower]

Take this clip for what it is meant guys ...Newfoundlanders are proud tp make fun of themselves ...all in good humour, our language is unique , coming from a mixture of cultures...

[punchion]

@b3gregjockca You bigotted A-hole!!

[MrXstacey]

Ya lose yer H's in 'olyrood and picks 'em up in h'Avondale.

[CANAD14N]

a quick trick is to try and talk without any breaks between your words. so in newfinese aquicktrickistotryandtalkwitho­utanybreaksbetweenyourwords

[agaen96]

fuck... I'm moving from Norway to Canada, and I only speak American...

[stephaniegosse]

@agaen96 American? there's no such thing as American.. you speak English.. >.>

[agaen96]

@stephaniegosse yeah, English. No big deal. I think people understod what I meant :P

[ominus011]

@agaen96 This is just Newfoundland. Don't worry.

[agaen96]

@ominus011 Yeah, I'm mowing to St.John's

[sweetdwhite]

WTF ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT!!

[Hammer332]

I'm Irish and I'd swear these people are Irish albeit ones who have spent a few years in America.

[hashley247]

@Hammer332 Im thinking the exact same thing watching this now!

[GhostWritersDragon]

Its no joke the way they talk! My Grandparents aren't even from there they're from New Brunswick and even after two generations being born in Ontario my Mother and I are either not understood by the way we talk or we get "You're from the Maritimes aren't you?" Be proud of Newfie/Maritime accents...it makes us unique...no matter where you come from in the East.

[mellcove]

@GhostWritersDragon

For those of you who don't get it you are listening to slow.....................

[TheTivster]

As a Newfie from Central, I love being able to understand this without any trouble. :)

[walshsnl]

They talked, not spoke. Lol! Like!

[AngelaShortall]

I had this exact conversation early today. :)

[PurpleHempDragon]

Better India then outta ya!!

I love how when I am around people with a stronger accent then myself I always find myself getting into the dialect. I also notice people often drop the a fair bit of the dialect when talking with people not from here.

[elemeniah]

@PurpleHempDragon so true...I have been in the states for 9 years and I have to drop the accent because I always have to repeat myself... I hate it!!

[Sk3elly]

Oh right thanks! I'm Irish and it sounds pretty familiar to me, Cork accent specifically. You'd definitely know that it has been derived from Irish atleast! :) pretty cool.

[Sk3elly]

Is this supposed to be an Irish accent or what?!

[TravelYourself]

@Sk3elly no its what it is its a Newfoundland accent, Newfoundland is a province in Canada. Originally from way long ago it was Irish when the first Irish settlers arrived however it has become quite its own thing now :)

[Alexmcgruer3]

A month ago I was in Erins Pub. (An Irish pub on Water Street)

A pleasent young lady was talking to the bar tender. I detected a distinct accent. I was going to ask what part of Ireland are you from but I decided I may as well ask where in Cork were you brought up.

Instead I decided to play the fool and ask and I quote" What part of the Southern Shore are you from?" She was from Port Kirwin, not cork, Not ireland but rather about 60 miles away from that St.John's pub.

[aaronfowlowmusic]

No, trust me. This is how we talk, especially with eachother. Most of us can speak clear english just fine, but when around folks akin of Newfoundland, we relax, and we let loose. This is the result. I lived in Ontario for two years though, but did not speak like this with friends I made there unless they were curious, to which I didn't mind to oblige.

[imafoxxox]

This cannot be serious. The strain this requires to understand is painful. Hilarious

[dollywaffles]

This is great. Not much trouble understanding them eh b'y.

[Missuskeefe]

it isn't actually too bad understanding these two...  you should hear my uncle when 'e gets on da beer :D lol

[kelcca]

Would have been much more real and authentic if you went around St.John's and around the bay talking to locals, rather than these two hamming it up for the camera.

[candicew86]

@kelcca Maybe don't take life so seriously.

[kelcca]

@candicew86 You must be a newfie as oppose to a Newfoundlander. Get serious.

[AbcSchoolOfPolish]

The accent is really cute.
