oh good luck learning Norwegian! I live in Norway ^^ It's pretty strange really, because there are some words that got no rules for when to use them, like English on the other hand having He/She/It = Is, or We/You/They = are. I even asked some of my teachers, but nobody knew. A/An can mean either En or Et. Example: A car = En Bil. | A house = Et hus. | An angel = En engel. | An egg = Et egg. A/An can also mean Ei, but saying En instead of Ei works just fine too. "That" can mean either Den or Det. Example: That car = Den bilen. | That house = Det huset. "This" can mean eitherr Denne or Dette. Example: This car = Denne bilen. | This house = Dette huset. Just some examples. Literally, no rules lol. You just grow up with it and learn when to use which word as you keep hearing them.

I'm actually bilingual in Dutch and English, but I have noticed a fair amount of traditional Scots words, especially from eastern Scotland, can be similar or even the same as Dutch words.... like Church/Kirk/Kerk, to glance at/kiek/kijk (look), to know/ken/ken (ik ken jou = I know you), insects/beasties/beestjes and a considerable amount of others I can't think of at the moment... also pronunciation in Doric Scots can be much closer to how similar words are pronounced in Dutch too. Letter combinations like "gh" which are silent in English, become pronounced in traditional doric Scots and all of a sudden sound a lot similar to the Dutch word than in standard modern English! Also I have noticed that, similar to in Dutch, in Scots you can still use diminutive endings more often than in modern English by adding "ie" at the end of words, like a "lad" becomes a "wee laddie" a "lass" becomes a "wee lassie", hoose (house) - wee hoosie, wife, wee wifie..... literally denoting smallness in Scots, but can also be a term of endearment... if you like someone or something in Scots ... just make it or them a wee bit smaller :-)

Square go = is usually said to entice someone into fighting "he spilled his pint so a said moan then geeze a square go" Moan then = come on then Bampot = silly person "he's a pure Bampot" Belter = can be used multiple ways usually to describe something as either really good or crazy depending on the situation "that was a Belter of a stag do" "be wary of that Robert, he's a pure Belter" And that's all I can think of at the moment enjoy :)

Haggis, for eating, are from the west coast of Scotland and are called Haggis Caledonius.

In the North Eastern US we use the term juke. Instead of cutting in line specifically, we use it to mean that someone or something is moved in such a quick way that it could cause confusion or shock. You can say you juked someone in the sense that you made them think you were going in one direction, only to move in the last instant and juke them. I think that's a common phrase these days but I'm never sure. I grew up thinking my local slang was common only to find out that usually isn't the case. We say things like supper instead of dinner, or yuh instead of yeah. Most of our slang is in the form of analogies as well like the phrase "Slower than molasses." is common, and old timers will say the long form of the expression "Slowa than molasses goin' uphill in winta." I recently talked to an online group of friends from Ireland, England, and Greece only to find that my common turns of phrase stalled the conversation more often than not. Not only that, but US slang (at least from my regional experience) tends to have a violent edge to it. One of the phrases I used that gave everyone pause was "Either way you slice it." Which means, no matter how you look at something, it's all the same. In other words "Same difference." Which then lead into the phrase "Fifty fifty split." Which apparently isn't common outside of the US???? Maybe it's a sports related term... Anyway, I enjoy seeing videos about slang and accents because it reminds us all that the language we use may all have the same or similar roots, but our cultural identities and nuances in our regional history really shapes the way that we use it. A lot of English speakers have crossover words, but they don't always mean the same thing. Where I live the term "Jimmys" or "Jimmies" means sprinkles for ice cream or cake, and two states over it means condoms... So language can vary greatly with just a few hours distance between two areas.

Cannae, Willnae, Didnae, and Ain, ) and will take some practice to immediately understand. - Is that Freddy Kreuger's hand hanging from your door handle? [edit: never mind, just read below comments] - phonetically, might Depeche Mode = "similarly like rubbish"? - "fling" is commonly used in (my part of) the U.S.; it means "a gentle toss with a flick of the wrist". - "ken" = "can" as in "ken ya, now?" (can you, really?...when it's doubtful that they can) - we don't have "knackered" but we do have "tuckered" = "very tired" - "midges" same word for us though some people call them "sand flies" because they're usually found along lake/sea shores or swampy areas - J.R.R. Tolkien has Samwise call them "tatters".

Juke in the USA is a older world used by African Americans in the early 20th century. A roadside or rural establishment offering liquor, dancing, and often gambling and prostitution. Also called juke house, juke joint. intr.v. juked, juk·ing, jukes also jooked or jook·ing or jooks 1. To play dance music, especially in a juke. 2. To dance, especially in a juke or to the music of a jukebox. Jukebox comes from juke. A lot of Blues music came out of juke joint. We have fling in the USA. Its used often in Los Angeles. We have mind in the USA as mind your manners. My favorite Scotties words will always be grammar and Glamours; which comes from the word grammar and is shorten to the word glam.

There's another US meaning, though you don't hear it too often, used in American football, as defined in Wiktionary: "Etymology 2 From Middle English jowken (“bend”) Verb: juke (third-person singular simple present jukes, present participle juking, simple past and past participle juked) To deceive or outmaneuver someone using a feint, especially in American football or soccer "

When the tv was scunnert she said "gie it a dunt" THANK YOU for the memories. Ontario, Canada

I've been watching your videos for awhile to try to get an accent for my DnD characters. It helps so much to have an updated list! You're doing a great job. I think you should do a video on Scottish myths, like the Loch Ness Monster and other crazy creatures that Scotland is harboring.

As far as I'm led to believe the English word know was originally spelled kenow and pronounced exactly as you see it. Over the years the English dropped the e and pronounced it as they do now. Up here we just shortened it to ken which I think is probably more correct lol.

I used to have an Irish accent till i was 9, then adopted a Glaswegian accent when i lived in Glasgow. When i left Glasgow and went overseas, people could hardly understand me. I had to slow down my speech and over the years its more Irish than Scottish now.

I have to second Heehaw! In America there was a show called HeeHaw in the 80's plus that's what we say a donkey says so if I was to answer a person with that word they would think there was something wrong with me. I now want someone to ask me what I'm doin? Lol! I'm from the south & they have a lot of slang words so surprisingly I was able to understand your words & meanings. As usual your video made my day & gave me a good chuckle! Thank you!

EXCELLENT VIDEO 1) Poke is still used in Appalachia. No doubt it came over in the 1700’s. 2) You should add “getting the messages.” 3) Also add “geein’ hunners.” Not condoning fighting. 👼 4) Maybe add “aw ah have is shun.” Used in Ayrshire. Probably straight from “sin” in Gaelic.

For the sake of clarity, this is mostly how a Glaswegian talks.. I’m from the Hebrides and have a very different accent. Just like England, Scotland has many different regional accents ... it’s just that the Glasgow one is the one most people seem to know.

"Mad wi' it" only really became common parlance with the advent of drug culture in the '90's. I'd never heard it in relation to being drunk before that. A state you'd achieve when gubbin' a couple of eccies. From memory, I've a feeling that "yassss" as an exclamation of joy (often related to being mwi) only entered into the language around the same time, or maybe closer to the 2000's.
