I really enjoyed it. Lauren. When you said "bonnet" for opening the engine. As French, you made me laugh so hard. 🤣🤣 We French say "le capot" (the letter "t" is silent) For us, "Bonnet" is some kind of hat that covers your ears and use for Winter. (A little fur ball on top of it for extra) 🇫🇷🤝🇬🇧

Hi , Lauren, i love your videos on the channel , especially with Christina , you guys have an amazing chemistry 🇺🇲🇬🇧

Just so you know black women and some black men wear bonnets to sleep they’re a little different from the olden day ones and they’re typically made of silk.

Yess spring onions lol I’ve become so Americanised😭😭 sorry about that!

As an American chef (on the east coast), I hear both scallion and green onion. I personally say green onion most of the time, but wouldn’t be confused or surprised to hear scallion. Occasionally you hear people say spring onions when referring to scallions/green onions, but technically those have slightly bulbous root end, whereas scallions/green onions do not. Of course the battle to maintain that difference is not a hill I would be willing to die on. In the US, spade is also an old-fashioned and offensive term for black people, though I don’t think I have ever heard it used in that sense, except in movies and on television.

Spring onions in Scotland also.

Same in the USA - a spade is a particular kind of shovel - with the pointy tip for digging. Other kinds of shovels have broad ends for scooping.

In my brand of US English, I say either scallions or green onions. I just bought some and the receipt says green onions. And a shovel and a spade are different things. A spade is for breaking up and turning over soil. A shovel is for picking up and moving soil, snow, grain--basically anything that's too tedious to pick up with your bare hands. What's shown in the picture is a shovel.

Spring Onions ? 🤣 In France 🇫🇷, we say "ciboulette"

Nope ur right, it's Spring Onions..what is green onions...never heard of it...ever. I think Lauren needs to do more research when including the whole UK even though it's said different in some places she should use the majoritoral word.

@@katherineh7381 unfortunately we don’t get given the contents topic beforehand and as I’ve said before I’ve not lived in the U.K. since early 2019 and I’ve forgotten a lot of the words that we use for things😭 I’m sorry and I’ll try harder to represent us well

Never heard of green onions anywhere in the UK before and I've moved around a lot. Or anywhere else in the English-speaking world I've lived.

I call them green onions in Minnesota and sometimes scallions too!

Lol How did you get you many likes ?

@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Lol , why are you asking this to him always ?

True, I really like them. Maybe put Grace on it too!

YES

Ye me neither

oh i agree pls more more and more videos with christiana and lauren !

I love these two - so good together. They really do deserve some kind of TV show.

Really enjoyed it. 🟦⬜🟥 Learn some new vocabularies

I live in Oklahoma and we also say green onions instead of scallions

I’m from Canada and I’ve heard both jump rope, skipping rope and I think some people have even said skip Rob but that’s not common any more.

Stick shape finger shape it’s whatever

In Canada we say bandaid too in English but in French we say Plasteur

Me too. I've only heard them called "scallions" at Chinese restaurants. In the 80s!

Ironically, Christina dressed like a posh English lady while Lauren looks like a sweet next-door American girl. ❤️❤️❤️

Older Australians say the same thing

I'm Generation X (58 years old) and use both.

Yeah

Same. I'm an HVAC technician though lol

Yep

Oh, I thought we were talking about water boilers for the taps in the bathroom and the kitchen. You guys have a heater that distributes eat throughout your house heats up your whole house? That sounds fancy.

@@rachelcookie321 yes, we have hot air systems (as noted called a "furnace") that push hot air through metal ductwork. The same ductwork is used to push cold air (air conditioning) in the summer in hot climates. There are also boilers which boil hot water and push it through a closed loop piping system. These boiler systems not only have hot water but a bit of anti-freeze glycol so if the system shuts down it doesn't freeze and burst the pipes. The pipes either run under the floor to heat the floor (called radiant floor heating) or the piping goes through radiators which are fixtures under windows that have thin fins that help the water disperse the heat into the room under the windows (to counter the cold air coming off the window glass). There is a separate hot water boiler to heat water taps in the bathroom and kitchen, which has no glycol in it (because anti-freeze is poisonous) sand is not a closed piping system, it is hooked up to the water service (either a well on site or a water supply system from a municipality).

In Germany we use also two terms "Schaufel" and "Spaten" wich seem to have a common origin to shovel and spade.

@@platzhalter2581 in Australian, spade is a square edged, flat blade; used in cutting turf or turning over gardens; Shovel is rounded or tapered blade, slightly curved, used for shifting large quantities of sand, soil, gravel etc. A Coal Scuttle, is a shovel with raised sides, to contain larger coal fragments; a similar shape is used for cereal grains in bulk.

@@astridvallati4762 Same difference in German with Schaufel and Spaten. Spaten is the square edged one, and Schaufel is the rounded.

As it appeared on the thumbnail I had to check someone mentioned this in the comments.

Canada is the same, but it's mostly U.S terms since they're the closest to us

Maybe she is counting words instead of syllables. 😂 To be honest when I tried it, it took my mouth longer and more movements to say full stop than it did to say period. Maybe because I’m American and we say period a lot even in our slang. For example, “I said I’m not doing that. Period.”

Yes, she is counting the words. That is usually what people refer to as something longer to say. And, pronunciation has to do with how many different positions the mouth and tongue are taking. If it demands more energy, it's generally harder and more cumbersome.

@@jericoba well said. Saying full stop requires more energy than saying period

Americans have zero logic. What do you expect?

@@anndeecosita3586 But we all know American English is atrocious.

The diffrence is that spade is flat and shovel has a curve to it.

Same in German: Spaten = Spade, Schaufel = Shovel

Americans keep it simple! Pick one. Maybe. Eh, yeah, we have two words in Swedish as well.

@@HiddenXTube : But in some regions a Schaufel is called Schippe, also a pickaxe can be Pickel or Spitzhacke, some other tools have also different names Gabel/ Forke.

@@brittakriep2938 Schüppe or Schippe is the low german variant of Schaufel.

And don’t forget per-

We learnt British english in school but we literally used a mixed of American & British in our daily life. Example from this video - we usually used the American words like heater, shovel and the way she tell the time and we usually used the British words for full stop, ball pool, skipping rope and plasters.

@@KimYuieJae Yes.Influences of hollywood and media.

Shovel and Spade is completely different thing

@@unknowndevice8947 Shovel for shoveling , spade for digging

@@gbone7581 shoveling is like you're digging

It's actually exactly the same in English. They are different and the difference is as you discribe. They were kind of hinting at that but I don't think either of them has ever used these tools enough to know the difference. You dig with a spade and you...er...shovel with a shovel.

But in Germany some tools have a different name in different regions/ dialects.

It's just like in Polish: shovel - szufla, spade - szpadel. But you can also say 'łopata' for anything of that kind, mostly for digging.

It's the same in the UK, spades are smaller while shovels are bigger and tend to be used for digging

Also 8:30 on the clock being said as half eight would make us Germans think 7:30

I hear people say quarter till all the time in the USA but not the others for the most part.

I hear people say quarter past (time) but I find it easier for me to state the exact time because it’s easier for me

Yes they are really good together, they really enjoy each others company, so that makes us enjoy watching them .

I agree. spade is small. shovel is big.

Spades normally have a rectangular relatively flat head with a square cutting edge and are not intended to move a lot of material. More of a precision tool. Shovels can have many shaped depending on the type. Transfer shovels are deep with a square edge to make it easier to move a lot of material. Digging shovels have a pointed or curved cutting edge, but the head is scooped to allow more material to be moved.

We French "une Pelle" for both

Spades are digging tools with a sharp rectangular blade whereas shovels are for moving loose material and are usually blunter, like a snow shovel or coal shovel. The one shown is a more hybrid type were the pointed shape and thin metal edge allow you to dig and move material but, I would still call it a shovel as it is not a specialised digging tool.

In German its the same Schaufel and Spaten

That make more sense to me in Sweden we would say: Spade = for digging holes Skyffel = for moving stuff

Digging shovels are different than spades or transfer shovels. A digging shovel will have more of a pointed/curved cutting edge and a scalloped head. Spades are used when precision is required, digging shovels(and other shovels) are used when you need to move a lot of material.

Spades are a type of shovel. They are always pointed at the end. That’s where’s the playing card suit gets it’s name.

ohoo thankie!

@@ChristinaDonnelly You always look so beautiful and pretty no matter what you wear, Christina. 🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸 3:10 we 🟦⬜🟥 French call this "capot" when we check out the engine.

@@ChristinaDonnelly Hello , Christina , i'm Henri , i really love your videos on the channel , especially with Lauren , my first video from this channel was you and her talking about accents and then i've been always watching this channel , my favorites are with you and Lauren ( love your videos on the channel too , Lauren ) 🇺🇲🇬🇧

🙄

That's how I'd use the two words too... (UK here)

But a spade should have a point in the middle like it does on a deck of cards.

Yeah, that's how I've always used the two words in English in the UK and Ireland. Though many people don't know the difference. Also, I think there are now some shovels that are designed to be used for digging as well now? But they just don't cut such a clean straight line.

Lmaooo was looking for this comment. I had to run it back like what in the 5 boroughs did she just say 💀

Quarter and half-passed is more a generational thing. My parents said it but I dont much

@@80sGamerLady Agree its generational. My grandmother always phrased her time-reading in halves and quarters (and I do to some extent from her influence), but she grew up with analog clocks where you were literally referencing the positioning of the hands. Since digital has become practically ubiquitous, I'd say the newer generations are way more specific with time.

In Germany some people also say ,Viertel nach/ Viertel vor' ( quarter past/ quarter to), but in my region for example 10: 15 is ,Viertel 11/ quarter 11' , 10:30 is Halb 11/ half 11, and 10: 45 is ,Dreiviertel 11/ threequarter 11' . This two versions of speaking about time sometimes confuses.

Yeah, I was really surprised Christina didn’t say to her “Oh yeah, we do that, too.” But it sounds like the Brits take it up a notch. We would only say “half past…” or “quarter to…” or “quarter of..”. And that is it. We don’t say “half eight” or anything like that.

I have just had to look up what on earth a quarter of was. I had never heard it, and if some American had said a quarter of seven, I wouldn't have known what it was. I would have thought more likely to be 7.15 than 6.45😂😂

That’s what confused me in fourth grade. I kept putting 6:25 for 6:15. I make sure to teach my students a quarter means one-fourth, not 25 cents. However, in the US, I grew up with saying both-a quarter till or after, never half past except on formal wedding invitations, and we still have clocks with hands . But I have noticed since they put digital clocks on stoves, microwaves, cars etc most children now just say the actual numbers like six forty-five.

@@tammywilliams-ankcorn9533 I never understood the purpose of them putting a clock on the microwave.

Chives are a completely different plant than green onions.

@@Tker1970 Interesting! My family and I always assumed they were the same thing.

@@jessagapi1997 Chives are an herb--look very much like grass. Scallions/green onions grow much taller and have the bulb under ground. BOTH yummy!!!!

This is also common in many german regions.

I wonder if quarter after became popular because it doesn't sound the same as fifty. If you say 12:15 and 12:50 they can sometimes sound similar depending on accent, etc.

In Norwegian, "half eight" would be 07:30 (or 20:30). And "08:21" would be "nine minutes on half nine".

@@urbex9797 7:30 is 19:30

@@jimzecca3961 I think it's to do with analogue clocks vs digital clocks. 15 minutes is one-quarter of 60 minutes (1 hour), so saying "Quarter past ten" is the same as saying 10:15 (ten fifteen).

Trenching shovel like for a trench in a war or i am getting it wrong for being ignorant?

@@elsolitariodrogado a trench for laying wire or plumbing. It's a narrow shovel, maybe 13cm wide

I spent my last 6 years in Penn and Maryland, I don't think I've ever heard people say quarter til 9. Where are you in?

@@user-nx3by5gy1n west coast people do say it that way at times

@@user-nx3by5gy1n I've lived on both the west and east coasts, the south, the gulf coast and far south Florida. However, my parents are from the midwest.

I’ve heard the term scalawag in the US but I think most people avoid it because it’s associated with an insult connected to the Civil War. Like carpet baggers.

I recognized it from Doctor Who, "Fish fingers and custard"

I have heard some Bostonians say, "whilst" instead of "while."

Aamw

Same

I'm from UK and have only ever called them spring onions. Green onions is a new one to me.

In France 🟦⬜🟥, we French call this "Échalote" for green onion.

Christina is from the east coast so maybe that’s why she says scallion. I’m from Oklahoma and I also say green onions

Same in Germany, which I’ve visited a lot for business. I’m always careful to say “nineteen thirty” (“neunzehn Uhr dreißig”) for “half seven”, when talking about dinner time. Using the numerical form of the time avoids the confusion.

I think the confusion is that "half eight" is a contraction of "half PAST eight". Half past makes perfect sense but the contraction doesn't

It makes sense to British speakers because they say 'half past eight', never 'half to eight'. Therefore 'half eight' can only mean 'half past eight'.

It makes me cringe big time when I hear it said.

In America, the math version of a period (or full stop) is called a decimal.

For me as spanish period is the menstruación of women an a time of history of years.this Word comes from latín i think. Interesting Chanel and words i like very much the people Who take part and i have Heard both terms although i learn Many new things also.greatings everyone

Same in my language: skyffel (or skovel) and spade. Also snöraka (for snow) and spatel (for small delicate things, like paint on a palette).

Did that came as a surprise for you, I mean, with your history?

We're the same down in Australia and NZ. Mostly British English with some American thrown in from us watching their TV shows. Some times we use UK/US versions of words interchangeably.

Everything is possible. Buoy is spełled the same but pronounced very differently in the UK and the US (and Americans or Brits wouldn't understand the other pronunciation).

I think it's same in every single European, asian country. As a Turkish I have american accent and it is dominant on every aspect. But there are always some british ones I mix such as swimming pool.

It happens to everyone who is not english speaker and learn it from different places, same as someone who learns Spanish from Spain but uses words from latin america

In Vienna, we even say 'dreiviertel' - three quarters. Three quarters four = 3:45

Same in the Netherlands. "Kwart over drie" = 3:15 "Half vier" = 3:30 "Kwart voor vier" = 3:45, and then we have specific numbers (usually 5 or 10, or rounded to the nearest for convenience) that go "over" or "voor" either the whole hour or the "half" hour.

Agreed 👍

Same. I'm from WV

I presume it depends on whether or not there is a strong Irish influence in the area. They are always scallions in Ireland, although shops may sell them as spring onions but that is because many supermarkets are British owned here.
