You made me laugh and I had forgotten a number of these kiwi words. Don't get to use them much down here in Chile either.
I remember introducing myself as a Kiwi when I first arrived and would get weird looks. Quickly I learnt that Kiwi here ONLY refers to the fruit!
(Rob W. - A kiwi in Chile)
Hey mate, Im a chilean in New Zealand, I enjoy so much staying here, hope you too there :D
Yea as a kiwi living abroad myself using NZ slang just confuses others which can be funny but also frustrating at times. It made me realise how often we use our slang in everyday conversation in NZ and how it is so unique to us.
Oh yea totally, I have to speak a lot slower and much more clearly, especially when it comes to pronouncing words with the letter ‘r’.
Also when pronouncing words where the second letter has an ‘e’ like bed, pet, get and even my name Jesse I often have to pronounce the ‘e’ as an ‘a’ sound to be understood. I think it is more evident here in North America.
Once I meet a person that wasn’t from no I think they where from America and all I did was speak to them in kiwi slang I also did that to a person when I went to America
I’m French and I learned English in Nz, when I left the Mount I went straight to NYC, nobody got a word of what I say because of the slang and the french+kiwi accent xD
hahahahahahahaha........... tk you cocodelmoro. Love that story
I didn’t know these were NZ slang, I just thought everyone used these 😄😄
SAME BRO
having lived in NZ for two years, most people would be surprised when I didn't understand what appeared to be everyday words to them lol......good times
@@kudraally6492 hard out!
🤣😂🤣👌🏽 we need to get out into the workd more aye. Hahaha
same
Aw this is so good. You've done a great job covering various NZ slang 👌 I love you ☺
Loved it; you're a great presenter !
So I've learnt that the Ware Whare is like a giant mix of Kmart and Target for NZ
Loved this, amazing how these words make you smile when your living overseas, couldn't help but giggle through most of it...chur 👍
i am living in NZ as an international student. Everytime when i have a conversation with some kiwi friends i hear these slangs everytime hahah.
im always like ' what are you talking about?" haha.
this video is gonna help me alot learn kiwis slangs. thanks !
That was brilliant. Amazing to hear because living in nz, you don’t realise how we speak different from others. Thanks for sharing
Love this! Thanks for the fun education!
Awesome. Loved your video. NZ born, have lived in Aussie for the last 13 years, so have forgotten some of the kiwi slang and some of it is new to me... never heard "skux" before
There is about 40 slang words you used that we also use in Scotland. Well the part of Scotland where I am from. Love NZ 🤙
I haven't lived in the UK for 40+ years. But when I did, in southern England, nearly half of these words were current slang at the time.
I’m from Boston and we use a lot of these words too, like “eh”, “straight up” and “undies”
This was so amazing!!!!!!
Hello New Zealand! I love you and your people. When I was in Afghanistan 8 years ago I had a kind teacher and who was an army man and that time may he was 55 years old. I wish him to be alive and stay fine and strong. In PRT Bamyan province of Afghanistan in 2012. Love you everyone in New Zealand ❤️ And in the final test I got the second position and they appreciated and applauded me and gave me a reward an a certificate and kiwi badge as the symbol of New Zealand. I really love you New Zealand people.
Aww! I'm a proud Kiwi and to Australia, i don't get why they say thongs as jandals I JUST DON'T GET IT! It sounds weird! Does anyone agree?
Thongs are g-strings lmao
Yeah lol was talking to this girl at school who just moved from Australia felt so bad when she started asking in front of everyone if she could wear thongs on the next mufti day 😂😭
LpsAnna159 totally agree, thongs should be on ya ass not your feet lol
look at your dictionary, thongs are thongs between the toes not a g string, how long is a wee while--- maybe one mile ???
I'm Australian, I have most New Zealand blood though. Chur.
A lot of these are used in the US, as well!
And a bunch of them I've heard of because of the glorious internet
Great, love it, well done!
oh yeah we definitely talk like this in NZ - love this video - awesome!
You sound so sarcastic lol
I first learned English in Palmy, NZ when I was 12 and when I came back to my homeland, everyone thought I was using wrong words and spellings(S. Korea learns English in American way) and I didn't know why I was looked weird as.. I found this video just now and realizing that I did use the ones not on dictionary eh
Yea palmy
I hope you told them that you were using the right words and spellings and they were at fault :P
That's was pretty hard out!! I never realised all the slang we use on a day to day basis, GOOD WORK, chur!!🇳🇿
LOL crack up vid chick! Keep up the good work! Chur to the chur
I needed to watch this because I have a kiwi friend and I need to understand him lmao
I’m from NZ and this video was so accurate, I loved it.
I think I want to go to New Zealand just for the slang 😂 “stop stealing my chips you scab”
churr
I'm an American linguist and I really appreciate this introduction to the New Zealand dialect a lot. Academically I don't deal a lot with different English dialects, but I am starting to feel a bit more interested in learning about the various colonial dialects (South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, even the New Foundland dialect of Canada). I guess a follow-up question would be: is there actually a lot of commonality between Aussie English and New Zealand English? Some of this slang is pretty wild...
4 years and no answer - yikes! There is an overlap between Kiwi and Aussie English but there are also words/slang/idiom that are unique to one or the other or more likely to be heard in one than the other. The two are closer to each other than either is to UK English (and we're closer to UK English than we are to US English). We understand Poms (Aus/NZ slang for Brits) and people from the USA better than the Poms or people from the USA understand us (we watch a lot of your TV shows and movies, you don't watch a lot of ours.)
American is a dialect
@@weltschmertzz yeah, and...?
you must understand the history's of the Australian States........ and early settlements. And the politics and history between Great Britain and the individual states.............. and the individual states relations between themselves. It Starts mid 1700's....... and of course New Zealand popped up on the Royal Navy radar, as European and American whaling and sealing boats arrived, early on. We have NZ Maori coupled with USA whaler / sailor words, combined into a long one word place name......... the whole developed world's navy's were down here.... in NZ......... all the European Navies or merchant navies, like the whale and sealers. Way back then.......... no passports, get on a ship from anywhere...... and you are your captains problem. You may or may not get the return voyage. And you were halfway around the world from the places that you knew....
New Zealand was a bit more complicated.......... originally governed from New South Wales... things changed due to the level of hunting, fishing, population increase, too many foreigners coming in... etc.......... so NZ had combination civil war and a Maori / Settler war............. all at the same time. A very confused and deadly background, in some places.
Wow that is awsome thank you
Thank you so much. It's a practical video.
Really nice video
Great video
Sweet as is the best. I always laughed when I heard that. I studied in Auckland in 2018. ❤
Chur cuz. This video was awesome as! But it's brilliantly done. Well done OW!!!!
#Congratulations
So fun video!!
From america, and a load of these are used.. everywhere? I hear Canadians using the majority of them as well, some of them however I rarely hear or have never heard. So that was cool. Nice video
Thanks for video, it helps me much, I will come to NZ next year
Sweet, nailed it!
Bloody awesome< Cheers
This is actually so awesome hahaha. Some of these I use without even realising it's only a Kiwi thing!
I'm living in palmy atm too. Can you please make a another it was so helpful ✌️
Very interesting, thanks! I’d say about a quarter of them are used here in the UK as well, some more would be understood if used.
Any funny French slang you could share?
James Sutherland sacreblue
😂😂 So many words that I didn't realise are NZ slang! Love this
it was fun and helped me heaps.
We have so much in common in Australia. Majority of those words/phrases are used here as well. And some others in the UK.
Lol, I use some of these slang words unknowingly to my bf (who's Malaysian) & he just looks at me like *wtf* XD
Brooke Justice thats crack up🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I'm from the Philippines and she is nice vlogger. Really helps a lot
Gosh you're so fast but that's so funny ! Hahaha
In the beginning, as foreigner, we were totally lost with all this slang ! We really appreciate your video ! NZ is an awesome country, we are currently in WHV there, let us know what you think about our travel videos if you have some time. 😉 Cheers ! +1 subscriber
Super intéressant! J'adore "jandals" excellent et imagé!
Hi. Great channel. Lots of fun! Can you explain saying ‘bags not” and putting the thumb on forehead? I saw it on Brokenwood Mysteries.
Everyday kiwi slangs that confuses even the aussies are Togs, Jandals and Chilly Bin. Totally prefer these kiwi slangs compared to Bathers, Thongs and Eski.
Bathers,Thongs.Esky what is the problem--- what about Heat Pump, Air Conditioner that's what it is
Nah man we say togs all the time I don't know what fancy old lady you be talking to calling them bathers lols
Me and my friends only know a little of these since we live in Auckland
Swim Trunks, Flip Flops, and Cooler (in canada)
@@sebastiansauvage8245 Good god, thanks for the translation. lol (an american)
My ex boyfriend is canadian, I loved realising that some of the things I said were unfamiliar to him and enjoyed explaining the slang. He asked “what’s a hard case?” The best explanation I could come up with was someone who’s a dick but you still like them. And he thought it was funny that we “reckon” a lot. He also really liked the use of the work “cruisey” to describe laid back people.
a good addition to your post is that a situation also applies to the term "hard case" for those reading this and want clarity,,, something you are being told or are witnessing might strike you as unusual,,,, funny,,,, coincidental to something uncommon you had just been doing or talking about,,,, and it would be common to hear the phrase used, it is not just used for funny people,it includes funny/unusual/even "it's a small world" type events/situations
in some eglish speaking countries.... Hard Case, means a tough fellow just out of prison. Do not approach.
In New Zealand, 'hard case' means amazingly funny, some-one who can hold the floor.....witty and good talking at a party. Tells good jokes... Everyone talks about how funny and amusing he or she is. Or other people too.
In New Zealand........ this one or that one (persons name) "is a DAG". A Dag or Dags..... the literally dried crappy pieces of wool....on a sheep's back side. Dried.... and built up. The lumps of sheep shit (dags) rattled as the sheep walked. Back in the old days.... over the last 150 yrs, and during that time....... you would hear the expression " Geez, he's an old Dag" or similar............. it sort of precedes 'hard case', but means a similar thing. But not ex prison...... just a funny person at a gathering or party...Hope that that helps....
Pretty good ae!!
Faaa this was pretty mean aye, straight up.. All these were crack up as haha honest to g u should do a nek 1, il be keen to scope it out for sure!
Hahaha I had to laugh at floaties bro haha keep up the good work chick
Lol!...Speaking as someone from the United States, most of these were unfamiliar to me. Looking forward to part 2.
I love the diary! And New Zealand! I think (My opinion) New Zealand is the best country in the world and I am proud to be a kiwi! No one else is like us! Who else is from New Zealand!
I like that video thanks, as most off it I have heard and just a small few I don't know like skuz, only started hearing that one within the last year or so, as don't hear it much.
I like you a lot. Thank you!
2 things. 1) I thought it was hilarious that you had subtitles, 2) when you started doing your list it felt like we were having a conversation!!
This reminded me of home as a kiwi when I live in aussie now, so nostalgic 🤣💖
No one quite like the Kiwis, Love it!
That was amazing - I’m from Nottingham, but studied in Australia, so I was really surprised by how many of these I knew already from the Aussies AND ALSO how many of them were near-identical to the slang in my local dialect. Love Un Zud and would love to live there.
im from Cali and have 3 people close to me from new Zealand and love the accent so much
thanks from Switzerland ( Gstaad) sometimes a bit difficult to follow the speed and understaend Swiss kiss !!
Hahaha this is funny and so true. words we use frequently without even thinking about it
Churr! That was sweet as!
Loved it and miss it too
Very impressive! :)
Love it
Yeeeeesss this is sick, made me smile a lot from a kiwi in oz
Love it all
Im from a very mixed famiky and kiwi is in my genetics. I've heard most of these. When I was younger, I'd here the word "eh" from both kiwi and Canadian side of my family. Used to confuse me all the time.
Kiwi through and through. Frikken love it.
spot on
Solid cuz
i love ur slang gal
I emigrated from NZ to England and Ireland in 1987 when I was 27, and most of the words I was familiar with. There were some I wasn't familiar with such as Skux etc. However, pre-1987, I was well aware of how we ended most sentences with eh, She'll be right, Yeah ah G'day etc, BUT one thing totally blowsme away. My brother from Australia came to visit me in Ireland about 4 years ago, and when I drove him around Kerry in the car, he noticed I kept saying Yeah nah. I was never aware of it until then, and found out later it came naturally. What I am trying to say is.... How long has the Yeah Nah expression been going. I had never really been aware of it until my brother mentioned it, and it was never an issue when I livedin NZ. I also have hardly met any NZers in the past 30 years, apart from when I moved back to NZ for 2 years about 15 years ago. Its really strange this
Yeah Wattie is nickname for Watson (Scottish ancestry I would say), and its pronounced Waddie obviously. BUT being Kiwi, dedicated to NZs most famous Baked Beans brand(Spaghetti etc as well) of course. Its just that the Yeah Nah thing has only really come up in the past decade or two, and has obviously spread due to the Internet age. Would be interesting to know if any other Nationality does it, remembering that the Canadians are famous for saying 'eh' a lot too.
Just found out where the Yeah Nah came from - WAIKATO - Check it out for yourself @ 2 minutes on this link. ua-cam.com/video/o3nrSZhCEsM/v-deo.html
Grew up with most kiwispeak since emigrating here in 1977.
Language changes with each generation.
Some stays the same.
Some are new to me.
As an Aucklander had no idea we were called Jafa.
However, narrowing Auckland down in areas:
Northshore are Shorebrats
East, or Howick are Chowick due to large Asian occupation
West Aucklandare Westies.
South Auckland are southsiders.
Pukekohe usually shortened to Puke pronounced pooh kay
@@wattienz I'm in the USA. We say 'Yeah No' or 'No Yeah'.
Hahaha chur bei ...I cracked up heaps watching this video ...mean as....solid
I think the 'ow' in 'Not even, ow,' as made famous by Jeff da Maori in Brotown, comes from the Maori term 'e hoa' (pronounced like 'e-hor', which means friend, or more casually - mate). Where I come from my cuzzies would pronounce 'e hoa' very quickly so it sounded like 'eoar' and about 25 years ago a lot of young Maori would say it even quicker as 'Ow.' So 'Not even, ow' is close to meaning, 'mate, you must be joking,' or 'mate, that is BS.'
Yes. I’m in my 60’s, I remember hearing “e hoa” back in the days. I wondered where the “ow” came from.
p.s. “e hoa” was pronounced “eho” e.g. Hey eho! where you going?
Thank you
Chur Cuzzy you had me cracking up handout.
table and chur
Going to start speaking this way to my Texas realtives
Churr. mean video, made me smile☺
I'm a kiwi and didn't even know half of these were our slang😂
We also use lots of these slang words in England as well!
Just visited Christchurch for 3weeks from 19Jan - 10Feb 2018 and realized that kiwis used to say 'lovely' 😘😘😘😘
So true cuzzy
The feels are strong in this vid. Living in Germany for a year has forced me to speak with a weird trans-Atlantic accent...
Lol I was looking for something for my french friend and this is perfect😂
Hi Rosie, I think I have learned some new slang here. There were quite a number of words, I didn't recognise. Incidentally, I think "She'll be right" may be borrowed from Sydney NSW, unless of course we Aussies stole it from you. Hmm!! That really has me wondering now. LOL. You mentioned Palmerston North. Now that is an interesting place. Also, that is where my mum was born. I remember when I first visited New Zealand and I looked ages for a Milk Bar, until I realised that they were Dairies over there. Anyway, thanks for sharing a great video. All the best. Robert.
Skuxx Deluxe! haha Classic!
I died laughing watching this!! It's good as haha chur 👏
i just love how we speak so similar, adore kiwi accents too❤️ ( 🏴 )
One I used that thoroughly confused my filipino friend was 'no room to swing a cat.' (Which means the room or space is far too small)..... I swear she took it literally, her eyes almost fell outta her face LOL
im a kiwi currently going through high school 50 per cent of my class is from overseas and doesn't understand our slang
im fom north canty and only deep south people call it a crib
Haha I love it. So sopt on. I'm from Palmerston North and it's Soo true haha.
I like it keep it up I will watching it bcz next year I am joining university of Auckland I am from Kenya
