And I guess that "Some Stuck Up Nerf Herder Some Stuck Up Nerf Herder" talked about the countries rather than the accents ?

HOW TO SPEAK NZ: 1) Pronounce the 'ER' sounds at the end of words as 'AH'. Because we're lazy af. 2) Never pronounce the 'R', like... ever. 3) Add 'as' at the end of things as a SPOKEN exclamation point... haha. Eg: Fast as. Slow as. Cool as. Dope as. 5) Add 'aye' at the end of things to have someone agree or disagree with you. Eg: That's cool as, aye? This smells good as, aye? This song is pretty dope, aye? 6) Add 'PRETTY' to the beginning of things, also as a spoken exclamation mark, like 'AS'. Not sure why this is, but it's a thing. Eg: This is pretty cool. This pie is pretty nice. That house is pretty flash (flash means really fancy looking). 7) Use a lot of slang. EG 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 NZ1: Yeeyur. This pie is nice as. NZ2: Gizz a taste. *bites pie* Oh yeah, hard. My pie is pretty munted. NZ1: Unluggyyyyyy. NZ2: Swapsies bro? NZ1: Yeah, nah. Gap it, g. NZ2: Aw guuuuhmon. We have our own language but we promise it's English 😂😂😂.

Hahaha but it isnt an accent to you. We have a lot of accents in America as well. 50 states means 50 accents, at least. Everything the American girl said could be pronounced many different ways in America. Also, different states will have different accents depending on where in that one state they are from. On top of THAT, they will call things different names as well. Like in the midwest (which isnt even in the middle or west of the U.S.), they call it "pop", but in many other parts of U.S., they call ot "soda" -- and some parts of the south call it "coke" no matter what it is. Like, they call Sprite a "Coke". 50 states is basically the amount of countries in Europe, so it gets pretty varied. That's why you can pass for American so easily, like Christian Bale, but we can't pass for the U.K. or other areas that were occupied by them. I honestly find it humbling and fascinating

Our English accent isn’t lazy, it’s naturally merged with the Te Reo Māori language, especially with the vowels. In Māori the vowel sounds never change, our ‘i’s sound like ‘e’s and ‘a’ sounds like ‘ahh’. It’s typical with any language around the globe that’s what makes our accents so unique.

I’m a Kiwi who has been living in Melbourne for over a decade now. I was not able to hear the NZ accent until I moved overseas. I would say that the key to the NZ accent is to mostly skip the vowels unless the vowel is the first letter. When the word has 2 or more syllables and then you just skip the final syllable and any word ending in er has an ah sound. So if you say fish, it becomes fsh. Every becomes evry, Chips becomes chps, Caramel becomes Caraml, Milk becomes Mlk, scientifically becomes scientificlly, etc. Obviously there are exceptions but this is how I explain the Kiwi accent to people who are not familiar with the it and they tell me, it makes sense when explained this way.

@nzshoreboy 5 жыл бұрын

H Narouei I have heard people say that and I can see how that argument can be made but I think a better description is the vowels are so short that they are basically skipped a lot of the time and if they are pronounced then the shortened vowels that NZ English has end up with a different sound than what it has with other English speaking nations. I get what you are saying though.

Also both of you (Andrea and Rosie) have spent a lot of time in Europe and learning French has smoothed out both of your accents when you are talking standard English.

There is a linguist history behind the languages. American English evolved from Irish, British, Scottish, Jewish, Italian and English people traveling together in boats. New York accents are generally more Italian and Jewish based whilst most of america is more Irish orientated. The exaggerated "R" and dropping of the "T" is common in Irish accent. New Zealand English is heavily influenced by English, Scottish and Maori vowels. Alot of the New Zealand accent can be linked back to Scottish roots. The English "I" originated from the Scottish "I". The lost of ability to pronounce final consonants can also be originated from Maori. Where "AO" replaces "AL" and "EO" replaces "IL" In words like milk. We don't realize it but we are constantly influenced by people around us. Language adopt sounds from people around them naturally without even trying.

I lived in NZ for more than a year. What I noticed is that there are different accents within New Zealand. A kiwi from Auckland would speak totally different compared to one from, say, Blenheim. But the most interesting thing is their "e". It turns into an "ee". "Guest" becomes "gueest", bed "beed", 'pen' "peen" and so on. "Deck" is the funniest example, but even the numbers are confusing at first. 7 is "seeven" and 6,10 sounds like 16. English is not fonetically consistent so you can have as many accents as you want.

I think us kiwis tend to almost swallow/try not to open our mouths for a lot of sounds eg New Zilind, Mwilk. The vowels could have something to do with the influence of Māori in NZ English eg Ah eh eee o euu instead of Aye E I Oh You. I'm currently doing an English language teaching course and my lecturer thinks that due to a lot of people immigrating from the west country and other parts of the UK that have strong accents is why American accents tend to pronounce Rs really strongly whereas in NZ we had a bit more of a mix. I notice it a lot now because my dad is from Bristol and my Mum is from the Waikato/Taranaki and sometimes the accent pops up on really random words. I've lived in Auckland my entire life and when I'm travelling I have aussies come up to me thinking I'm from Melbourne 😂 I'm sure I have some notes on the linguistics of the NZ accent from a course I did in my degree a few years back. I'll see if I can find them.

Interesting video ! As a French person, here are 2 things essentiallly I noticed that surprised me a litlle bit: 1/ the American way to pronounce some words like "pecan" or "enveloppe" is finally quite similar as the French way. And much closer than the NZ way. 2/ The NZ pronounciation of short words with an "e" in the middle like "pen" "deck", etc I had never heard before. But yes, that's quite logical actually. Tks to u both !

She’s from St Louis. It was part of the Louisiana purchase and the city is named for your King Louis. The French played a major role in colonial America. Many cities and states have French names. Many words have been incorporated into American English. As a result she probably does have some leftover French pronunciations.

Basically if there’s a T at the end of a word, we rarely say it and instead just abruptly end the word. All our vowels are kinda the opposites to Australians accents. And when we go over seas, people think we’re drunk because we slur our words and barely open our mouth to speak. We can answer just about anything with an inaudible sound and other kiwis understand, EG ‘nnNn” roughly translates to “I dunno” 😂 Also the word “aye” can mean just about anything depending on how you say it. That’s about it lol.

It is interesting for me because I was born in England but went to Aoteoroa when I was 7 years old, then when I was 14 we moved to Australia, and people asked me to say "fish and chips". I didn't realise the difference in the accents until after living a few years in Oz, then I could appreciate it. (I saw some graffitti on a wall in Sydney, it said "Auckland sux...Sydney seven"). It is hard for British people to differentiate the accents of Australia and New Zealand, but I can do it straight away. As a Canadian and American can tell their accents apart. (it took me a while to learn, but I think I can tell now).

@SheldonHelms 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty much every word you have covered in this video is pronounced multiple ways in the United States. I know people who pronounce each of these words exactly the way the New Zealander is pronouncing them. I was particularly troubled by the word “caramel,“ which is pronounced as the New Zealand girl sad in most of the United States. Go look up the old commercials for the chocolate and caramel candy called Rolo. The theme song says “You Roll a Rolo to your pal, it’s chocolate covered caramel,” and they pronounce it exactly the way the New Zealand girl said it.

I did some linguistics at university ages ago, and although we never discussed NZ English, I'm pretty sure this thing that you do in "again" is a case of monophthongization (a diphthong turned into a monophthong, in other words a two-sound vowel turned into a single-sound vowel). The sound the Americans do in "water" or "better" is called an "alveolar tap" or "flap" in phonetics and it's a kind of a very short, brief "r" sound made with the tongue momentarily touching your alveolar ridge. Not a clue about the NZ "deck" and "bed" pronounciation, other than it being some sort of a vowel shift.
