In America, if you say "You okay?" That means you're seriously worried about who you're talking too, who may seem injured, ill, or depressed.
Which is different than the greeting "How are you?"
@@WolfLove89 or how you doin.
@@briankirchhoefer Yes sir, that too. It's the "You okay?" that's the serious question
Edit: I work customer service and I ask "How y'all doing?" If a group comes in, if one person comes in I ask "How's it going?" Or "How are you?" When I can tell someone is having a bad day or something is wrong my question is "You doing okay?"
@@WolfLove89 yep I agree. It through me off first time I went to England.
@@briankirchhoefer Never been to England, were you able to visit the other countries in the UK? I personally would love to visit the UK as a whole one day. Been to Europe, just not been to any of the UK. I went to Europe as a family trip as a kid (Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium). Crazy how easy it was to travel in Europe.
The American lass sounds high 😆
right, she doesnt just talk slow but she generaly seems... very ... aloof
The American in this video would definitely sound out of place if she were to come back to the US sounding like that. People would ask if she's okay, didn't get enough sleep, is going through something difficult, or had been drugged. Maybe she's just adapting to South Korean life, which overall tends to be quieter and more modest.
Yea that seems to just be her personality but I would normally guess she’s drunk or on some downer. Slowest speaking person I’ve ever heard tbh
I'd just assume that's how she is. I know some people who just talks slow
As an American myself. I think the America lady might have, could have, possibly puffed on some Mary Jane before filming. She’s definitely in slow motion for some reason.
Californian here. The US girl...not representative of most Americans... Sounds ditsy and maybe smoked some herbs wink wink. Not sure why she talks so slowly
Any American you put up there is not gonna be representative of America as a whole.
We don’t really use the word”queue” at all.
Im from Arizona and if it's lightly raining we say it's sprinkling
I'm from the valley so when it rains I usually say," what the hell is this?" 😂
they chose an American who hasn't finished updating apparently.
An Southern American farmer might say, "It is raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock."
I wish when videos like this have an American guest comparing their accent to other English accents they would specify what region of North America they're from. It would just help clarify some things. Also, I'm guessing she's West Coast who got used to speaking slowly so she could be understood better since this channel is from South Korea. I could be wrong but I think I hear some valley girl and surfer dude (like in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) accent in the way she speaks. Just very very slowed down.
Edit: I read the comments of the original video and some are saying that the American girl was apparently from the South. So, perhaps she just lost the accent, or never had it, but kept the pace.
And this would be totally different if these were the same countries but different ethnic groups.
I would've guessed she was MidWest
In the New England area we say rest room and most stores and restaurants will have signs that say restroom
Whenever y’all say “from the north,” it makes me think of Game of Thrones.
I like the Welsh or Scottish accents best. These people in the video sound like they haven’t lived in their respective countries for years. They all sound American with a slight accent.
The American girl sounds high.
Don't know if you've seen "Trainspotting" but when I first saw it, I didn't think Begbie was speaking English at all. His Scottish accent is so thick I didn't even think it was meant to be words, just something like teachers in those Charlie Brown cartoons.
It wasn't until I happened to watch it with captions on that I realized he was speaking English.
Another slang for restroom is the John. Generally we’ll avoid saying toilet or any word that is any way specific to the activity it’s used for. Saying you need the toilet is too much information.
Some of us in the south eastern United States refer to a hard rain as, "It's Rianin' like a cow pissing on a flat Rock."
We need Declan back on, he’s catching constant stray shots 😂😂
Idk where the lady from the U.S. was from, but I’ve never heard the first two things she said. I’m from the eastern part of the U.S. btw. I wasn’t born in the U.S., but since I came here when I was really young, I have no accent
I’m willing to bet she’s a Valley girl from Southern California. I’m from East Coast too Cape Cod and the accent here is completely different from Boston. We don’t say pawk the cah like Boston, we say park the car
@@scottbmedic 100% agreed.
The American representation here…🥴
I remember seeing toilets labeled Gents and Dames when i was young.
I think you watched too many episodes of Happy Days there Fonzie 😂❤😂
@@heywoodjablowme8120 I did watch happy days on ABC Tuesday nights. But the restrooms in Illinois and Wisconsin had gents and dames on many still in the 60s and 70s.
I've never heard anybody in my life call something janky if it's gross or nasty.
Ya I am pretty sure she just didn't know the meaning of word and didn't want to admit she was wrong about it.
Aiden, good point on just saying 'toilet' as actually everyone 'does' it. However, I do understand why most of us use other terms. I mean everyone dies, but many of us use the term 'passed' or 'passed away'. One may agree or disagree, and while we all the know the reality, it can soften the delivery.
As an American I can say you should not think of the U.S. Girl as having a typical accent as there is none. She may be Californian. Watch a lot of BBC shows and still hit a few actors impossible to understand. Not only vowels pronounced differently not syllables. But it's all Brilliant😀😀
She’s not Californian at all. I’ve never heard a Californian speak that slow in my life. Her accent is not from the West Coast of the U.S.
I am from California, and we don't talk like that. We have a faster cadence to our speech. My guess she is from the Midwest.
I say say somewhere in the plains. Kansas, Nebraska, possibly Wyoming or Colorado.
In another video she mentions she's from the south
I read a U.K. motorcycle magazine for years & learned lots of new words. I live in the USA. The magazine was called "2 Wheels Down" & they changed the name & stopped importing it here.
It's funny you mentioned Declan. When he apeared on the channel I remember thinking his accent was much stronger than the rest of the family.
Sometimes hear an Irish accent that virtually sounds like "standard" American. Have no idea what part of Ireland it comes from.
Probably Boston.
The English girl is from Liverpool.
Defo not a Liverpool accent.
@@officeblokedaz She has explained that. She has also said she's from Liverpool in another video.
My linguist heart has been filled with joy! 😂💜
US Private residence - bathroom, Commercial - restroom, School (When I went.} - lavatory, Military - latrine
The American girls accent sounds like she's from the town of Annoying, in the Midwest.
It makes sense that asking for a teabag will result in being directed to the men's toilet, i guess!
In South Wales we also say Alright, so don't know what the Welsh guy is talking about. Also here we say its bucketing down and hammering down for heavy rain we use that too. In Wales we also say the bog also but if you're in a store etc then its loo or toilet, this welsh guy he's talking about Welsh speakers it seems. 🏴
Is the American girl sleepy? Lol
The Welsh guy saying we would greet someone in Welsh in Wales is not really true for most people here, we would talk in English but he is from north Wales, so I guess he is just talking about his own area. They speak more Welsh in parts of North Wales than the rest of Wales. Surprised to hear your story about bar staff not wanting to talk English to you in Cardiff, you rarely even hear Welsh spoken in Cardiff and I have never experienced that in Cardiff and I am from here although I have heard stories years ago about a Welsh club here barring English speakers from entering but that was stopped. Normally when you hear stories about Welsh people not wanting to speak English to English people, its in the North.
We use the name " John " for toilet with our buddy's
It’s hard to get a true read on these based on the countries because everyone in that respective country speak differently.
In the US “That’s great” for her would be “That’s what’s up” for me. So many dialects and colloquialism etc lol.
I dont think the American girl is exhibiting a specific regional accent. She just talks really slow.
Cockney is my favorite English accent.
The American girl sounds high. I'm from the south, my wife is from the northeast, so she sometimes gives me crap about how slow I talk. But this girl is running at 0.5 playback speed.
Edit: And the Irish referring to the bathroom as "the jacks" sounds similar to people over here referring to the bathroom as "the john".
They picked the slowest taking American possible lol
Our bathrooms at the fire department just has the ends cut off hoses screwed to the doors. If you dont know the male end from the female end of a fire hose, well, good luck.
US girl comes across as clueless. The Brits and the Irish were easy to understand
She is acting and talking like a Airhead Valley Girl!
Story lads? The original video must of cut out asking to go to the toilet in Irish. As slow as that American one is, she was talking about the Irish sentence not just "Where's the jacks?".
I mean I'm pretty sure I've heard people ask for "the John"? It's not that far off.
Pretty sure that channel is based in South Korea so it's an interesting mix of people.
I would counter most Americans do not recognize the UK. They use it interchangeably for England.
The American sound like a Californian who is really high or something most people in America dont talk like that
At this point , Aiden should just go back in the basement and play with himself.
I agree. The dude loves to take a shot at Americans any way he can
If it were just his parents in the videos I would subscribe,but this little shit hurts the channel
Scottish is the hardest for me to understand. My mother’s family was from central Wales, so I’m used to that.
Good grief, the girl from America is talking so slow and I'm from the South saying this. She's more like a Valley girl accent - so slow!! :)
We have ALOT of slag words-American
As an American, they could not have picked a worse representation. I mean she was so ditsy and possibly on something lol haven't seen anything like that before. I promise that is not what 98% of us sound like
🏴🏴 Dwi’n byw yn De Cymru a dwi’n caru siarad cmyraeg!🏴🏴
The weird thing about the American is she not only speaks slowly she speaks a lot of words uncontracted, like ‘I would not.’ NO ONE in America would say anything but ‘I wouldn’t.’ Very weird person. Did she think the others wouldn’t understand her if she didn’t say things sloooowly, with each word said separately? Very odd.
As an American, for me, Scottish is the most difficult to understand of them all.
Unfortunately, in the US for women under the age of 35, this "vocal fry" voice is common, and it is as annoying AF. It is the Kardashian influence where they talk that sort of modern valley girl vocal fry dialect. There is a version of it where when the woman says something to you everything sounds like a question rather than the actual statement they are making. It's maddening. The US alone has probably a dozen different dialects by region and some more than one within a region. NYC is an example of probably 4 different accents within one metropolitan area.
Aidan looks like FPS Russia. You guys should review his videos.
I withcall from another video that the English girl is from around Manchester
I’m an American and if she talks any slower she’s going to make me yawn. When I was in England we were on the train and it was England & Scotland football match. The Scot’s were hard to understand. If I was around them longer I would be ok.
Nice to see you two boys having so much fun! Fun video. I personally understood most of it, or could figure it out with a moments thought. One of the things I find fun about this type of video, is watching folks from the U.K trying to understand the vocal distinctions. Sometimes, I can't understand other Americans. There is something to be said about seeking to be well spoken regardless of our culture. Peace
I'm thinking the American girl might be from California, I live in Ohio and she doesn't sound like most people I've heard around here, too soft spoken. That's the thing about the U.S. English accents can vary depending on the state.
We have ALOT of slag words
The american chick talks as slow as I do after I’ve smoked quite a bit 😂😂
In a restaurant in Krakow, the restroom doors had a picture of a fish and the other was a sack with a string tie. I had no idea if I was a sack or a fish. Had to wait a bit for somebody to enter one of the. This was 20 yrs ago and I can’t remember if zi was a sack or a fish.
The British should learn to speak English like normal people ;)
Heh, asking where the "toilet" is in the US is actually mildly vulgar. It appears Brits use that word to mean the room not the actual appliance. In the US it only ever means the appliance.
What a ridiculous group of people
Sophia sounds like she is from California.
Sophia sounds stoned.
15:39 aidan girls and gays don't do that! Also, lol, this girl gets better on this channel over time in fairness compared to some of the others they cast which is saying something cause some have no idea what they're talking about. They have some good videos.
I think you would have an hard time understanding some US accents. Especially my weird eastern Long Island which is a mixture of New England and NYC. It’s all odd.
That channel always uses Westerners in Korea who can speak Korean, usually students.
Funny we def use “the shitter” and “piss poor” here in Baltimore.
Also, I personally started using “Grim” because of you guys. lol
It’s piss pouring is the best southern America way to say it😂
That Scottish accent is easy after watching a bunch of count dankula
Why the Irish have to be ginger in vids🤣🤦🏻♂️
Is that a Cali chick?
Is she okay?
Are you guys gonna react to highlights from the Tom Brady roast?
Holy shit, that American woman is...wow. 😂 Wake up, get sober, something!
Daz is a true Brexit geezer! Revvv up the Bugatti, wheyyyy!!!
the movie "my name is joe" (1998 - peter mullan), glaswegian working class, is the only english speaking movie i've ever needed subtitles for. i could maybe understand 30-50% without them. i've worked with lots of newfoundlanders and when the rural (bay) folk get going together from the same area it's good night nurse, not a word. i've even known newfies that other newfies couldn't understand. when they start playing comedy recordings from decades ago it's a foreign language, celtic grammar and english words that are incomprehensible the accent is that thick. they're howling and i'm lost..
My step family is African American from rural Mississippi.
The amount of stuff i cant understand at family parties is unreal 🤣
I'm American and have seen a lot of British TV, old and new and a lot of the time I completely forget there's an accent..until there's some drunk or thug character that shows up and they for some reason always have an annoying accent...chavs seem like the worst creatures on Earth to encounter.
The accents are all understandable, Welsh is a little weird, the Yorkshire accent is great, traveler is crazy..but that Glaswegian accent can be extremely difficult for me to understand. I did make it through all of Limmy's Show though.
i can identify lots of uk/irish accents but i'm canadian and we had plenty of uk tv shows/movies when i was growing up. on the buses, black adder, monty python, faulty towers, etc. - coronation st. is still huge in canada. some of my favourite tv crime dramas are uk/irish, nobody does it better. inspector morse, inspector george gently, silent witness (the early years w/Amanda Burton), murphy's law, strike, slow horses, line of duty. the closest the americans ever came was true detective season 1 but, as great as that was, it still lacked the authenticity and humanity that british cinema excels at.
i was at an irish bar in vancouver that's frequented by plenty of actual irish and uk people, 8-9 pints in they wanted me to identify their accents and i nailed every one. it was solely from watching so much uk/irish cinema/tv.
canada imposed canadian content laws for music, tv and cinema so we weren't completely swamped by uk and american content, it gave canadians some room to breathe.
They should have got someone different for the Scottish accent.
I'm American, but I've traveled all around the isles. Holy Jesus Jackrabbits, sometimes I'd just nod & drink the beer
Yeah that girl was kinda tweakin idk what was up with her 😴🥱
Some years back while ordering in a Washington DC restaurant I had to translate my friend's wicked Massachusetts accent for our Alabama raised waitress.
Navy brat survival skills 😂
As an American I really wonder where that girl is from because her accent and slow pace is killing me, but I'm also from New York.
If you ask for "burger and fries" in the US and they don't understand you, it's not about accents. It's because the fast food worker hardly speaks English at all.
Where did they find that US chick?😁
She sounds like a nerdy stoner girl who used to go to band camp..😂
I used to tell my British friend when he said the loo that it's the John not the loo
Im American and that girl sounds drunk to me and she talks way to slow ...
The American girl sounds tired or been smoking some weed.
I grew up in Florida. I would think the American girl is on pain meds or something, no offense. But I've heard people here say most of what everyone said.
They should have gotten a proper Weegie, an old man from County Donegal, and a Geordie. Good luck then. Grab Gerald from Clarkson's Farm, while you're at it. He's like the English Boomhauer from "King of the Hill'. I'm from Texas, and I would have no hope of understanding anything he says, even though the character is supposed to be Texan, too.
This girl talks like she's on tranquilizers.
The American definitely medicated some way shape or form Ffs💀 Aiden any slower she'd be asleep 😂😂😂
Geez!!! They had to pick a gay dude for each country??? Lol
True story. I was watching this, and then I realized I'm American and didn't give a rat's ass about accents anywhere.
Why are there only gay people though?
Where the hells Sophie?
As an american i would assume something is wrong with the girl from the US just from hearing her
Are we sure that woman is American lol? Jesus 😂
