This video was so fun to film/ edit but my favorite parts are @ 7:15 and 12:37.
Check out our video on Rebecca's Channel! - tinyurl.com/yc8kcb8p
I was in Toronto for IMATs and met up with the lovely Rebecca Morgan! We decided to do some videos together and I chose the Accent Tag. We wanted to compare her Canadian (Ontario) accent with my U.S. (Pittsburgh) accent to see if we have different pronunciations and vocabulary. I learned so much and had such a great time. We hope you enjoy the video and please go check out Rebecca's Channel to see the Beauty This or That Video we filmed together. Tell her I said hello!

I pronounce it like this and I have never lived outside of the Southeastern US (my parents are also from the Southeast).

If you've never seen or used it, bagged milk just doesn't seem right. I mean, you don't typically see bottled water, soda pop, or other beverages in bags, so why milk? Just doesn't seem very user friendly. You can't pour or drink reliably from a bag - at least in my experience.

Technically "route" (root) and "route" (rowwte) mean different things depending on how they are pronounced. "Root" is like "this is the route I take to go to work," whereas "rowwte" is like "I had a paper route when I was young." Now this could have changed since I last looked it up (I'm middle aged) but that's what it said in my Canadian dictionary years ago.

Anybody outside of the U.S. or Canada would have a difficult time telling these two apart, and many inside would, too. From an American perspective, the Canadian speaker doesn't have a distinctively Canadian accent that's easily distinguishable from an American one.

I think the difference in accent isn't that strong because here in Canada we get so much American media 27/7, so we can't help but get used to their accents and sometimes say things like our neighbours to the south. But in the states, they don't get that much Canadian stuff so they are less familiar with it. I lived abroad for a while and I always explained to people that Canadian culture is half way between American and Canadian! 🇨🇦

Hey Tash! First, I loved this video! I was dying when you guys were laughing about the whole "been" thing. Second, I'm from England and here's a bunch of stuff I say differently. We say tube like "chube", been like "bean", a shopping cart is called a "trolley". A "buggy" or "pram" would describe the wheeled contraption that you push babies around in. Gym shoes are called "trainers", we'd call a faucet a "tap", a line that people wait in would be a "queue". I've also never been to a house that has a food disposal, it's not very common here. Last letter of the alphabet is "zed" :P I would call a coloured pencil a coloured pencil and a crayon is like a waxy pencil that typically kids use. Now a completely random one... my family is a bit weird and we call the thing that changes TV channels a "twizzer". I didn't even realise it wasn't normal until I went round to a friends house and asked for the twizzer and they looked at me like "Ummmm... what?" XD so yeah, that's pretty much it. I love both of your channels and I look forward to more videos!

So the Canadian accent changes by region. Like one of the more distinct accents in Canada in the Newfoundlander accent of the 'Newfie" accent. There is also a 'prairies' accent which you might hear in Manitoba and Saskatchewan that has a unique Canadian twang to it. The best example I can come up with is the song "out for a rip" by the group called shark tank. There is also the french Canadian accent of course which you find in Quebec and parts of Ontario. (Canadian's who's mother tongue is Quebecois speaking English wish a unique french Canadian accent) Mike Myers wrote a book called "Canada" for the 150th anniversary of our counties confederation. Its really well written btw. But it has a chapter explaining the Canadian accent and he has some great insights into the differences between the Canadian and american accents since he grew up in Saskatchewan but has lived most of his adult life in the us. I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

A few things as I’ve looked into his stuff in the past. For example on one, “writer” vs “rider” is seeing if the person has whats known as “Canadian Raising,” but is not exclusive to Canada. It is also in parts of the use (particularly parts of the northeast) and especially in pittsburgh I think. Writer is a slightly raised vowel sound verses rider. Its becoming progressively more common in America. So it can vary not only by region but also age.

Too Much Tash where I think the “pencil crayon” comes from is on our packages, such as crayola, they have to write english and french. So in small letters they have “couloured” then in big letters they have “pencils” then underneath they have the french “crayons” then in little letters “de couleur.” So when you look at the packages they say “pencil crayons” in large letters, and kids just look at the large letters. So it got ingrained in our heads ever since we’ve had to have everything bilingual. Also tuque is Canadian beanie is american. Some may have some american influence but it’s touque. I spelled it two different ways and both are correct, just to confuse you. If you wanna be fancy a “napkin” is a “serviette…” and “napkin” in those cases is something else… but thats what my great grandma, who’s still around, still calls them all the time. So maybe it’s older but I picture it as fine dining. She uses it normally even for little paper napkins/serviettes.

Great rapport between the two of you. We say been because it's spelt b-e-e-n not b-i-n but if said quickly ,maybe like bin. Sorry is like s-o-r-e-y not sarry? The milk comes in 3 litres (3 bags) in a larger bag -in central and eastern Canada-apparently not in western and stays fresher because you're opening/consuming smaller amounts and many brand now have the best by date printed on the individual bags also. Many people say napkin or serviette(french influence). Many ways we say things are because of the british influence,but also french and sometimes other cultures that have made up our history(native peoples,german etc.)

I’m from Newfoundland (eastern Canada) and I say a lot of things differently from the Canadian girl in the video from Toronto. I guess it depends on what area of the country you are from seeings as though it’s such a big country. Also I graduated with around 25 people. Can’t imagine having 400 people in my class

I know what you mean, I know people who only live a few hours from me who have distinct accents. It's interesting how such a small distance can make such a difference. And 25 people? I can't imagine that haha.

Wine in a box in Australia is called Cask Wine or "Goon" as a slang term. Aussie's have some beauty slang. And carbonated drinks are soft drink... and the place to pee is the toilet (we are blunt here). Tap too in a sink. We have best before dates for non perishables and expiry dates for foods that can poison you (lol). Bottle shop for the alcohol shop or the bottle-oh. Zed... definitely Zed Backpack or school bag Napkin for linen, serviette for paper. We have primary school kinder to 6 and then high school for 7-12. Nearly every school has uniforms. Aussie's are a weird bunch.... other side of the world thing I guess.

I'm from Ohio, and we say "pop." We also say "shopping cart," or "cart." I remember when my friend from NC was talking about people abandoning their buggies in the aisle, and I pictured a bunch of baby strollers everywhere. Lol! (Not that we say "baby buggies," but that was more familiar to me than referring to a cart as a buggy.)

I've noticed that those who are not from Toronto usually pronounce it with the "toe" at the end, whereas if you're from Toronto you pronounce it "Toronno" and don't even say the last "t". Haha. Just thought I'd let you know ;).. Oh and the saying "sorry" thing is absolutely true!

Interesting video. There are actually more differences than are picked up by the speakers. Since everybody knows about "aboot" and "sowrry", we tend to focus on those well-known markers for Canadian dialects and tend to ignore other words with the same properties. Both dialects are so close, and most people are so used to hearing different versions of the same word (especially thanks to TV) that they don't realize they're pronouncing things differently. Take "caught", which both speakers pronounce differently, or "writer" and "rider", which the Canadian speaker clearly utters with two distinct pronunciations: writer [ˈɹʌɪɾɚ], rider [ˈɹaɪɾɚ], and doesn't even notice they are. Obviously, since the American speaker does not distinguish ʌɪ and aɪ, she hears the same thing. But it's actually the same sound change that happens when Canadians say "about", which they pronounce as [əˈbʌʊt] (not aboot). It's subtle, but you have to listen carefully and probably be used to working with phonetics to actually pick it up.

@hexnax4434 4 жыл бұрын

the "sorry" is normally pronounced with an "a" sound in standard American English, along with borrow, morrow, sorrow, and tomorrow. In regional American accents (such as the classic New York City accent) you would say even more "or" words with an "ar" sound (foreign, forest, Florida, historic, horrible to name a few), but then some words remain "or" in even that accent (boring, aura, glory, oral, etc) which actually mirrors common England English (by that I mean NYC "or" is usually similar to England) BUT in Canada people don't usually replace "or" with "ar" in any words :) I'm sorry if you don't find that as interesting as me lmao thanks for reading anyway

Hello from Windsor, On. I’ve never pronounced Route said the way your Canadian guest says it. Not around here. TO I guess but not here. Our ‘t’s are like ‘d’s such as writer being said as wrider. I don’t hear many around here say coupon as Q-pon, or Groceries as GroSeries. (I dislike both the Q and the S pronunciation of those.). Although here we are divided from Detroit, Mi only by a river, their A’s and O’s are VERY noticeably different from here. To us, they are saying Hah-key instead of Hawkey (Hockey). I grew up watching American news with their general American accent and that’s the way most here in Windsor speak like. I guess there are little variations everywhere, even within our own countries. And YES, we here in this area say Zee not Zed! (And I personally even still go Fahrenheit and have to do the math in my head to figure out Celsius) Yes, years of American news because we didn’t watch Canadian tv in our home growing up! It wasn’t desired.
