I was born in Dundee and moved to Canada when I was 6. My Mum and Dad always spoke Dundonian. I love it and understood everything you said. It never leaves you
As a Dundonian, I actually think this is the best video on the subject of our dialect. It's an affae guid video an'yer right aboot us talkin fest. Eh dae it ah the time and naebody ivir kens what em sayin, so em eywas needin tae talk affae slow and clearly but when em talkin tae meh femily, eh just talk normaly. Also, another wiy tae say 'pass me the ba' would be 'pass is the ba' as the word 'is' can sometimes be used in place of 'me' when it comes to certain things.
My grandma was from Dundee and growing up I remember her talking like this even though I didn't understand her most of the time. I haven't heard her talk in YEARS so hearing your voice actually was comforting :) I wish she was still around.
I was a nice, middle-class English public schoolboy who had never been north of Worcester who got a place at Dundee University. Imagine how that went. Well, rather well, as it happens. I made a lot of friends, many from the toon and I am surprised that I understand what you are saying (though not all the dialect words). For me you are not talking Dundonian, you are talking Scoo'ish. Before I left Dundee for ever, I spent almost year working as a barman in The Galleon, now a wine bar or something and as half-German who grew up in Germany, many words made senes - echtie-echt (88) clüte (cloth). All the best. Might go back sometime before die.
I'm from Edinburgh and spent a lot of my life in Dundee and i understand both accents and really there is'nt a lot of difference. There is only a dozen or so words that are different. I love Dundee.
the Cundeez (Dundee-Celtic-Oi!-Punk-Band) brought me here, nice Video , I really like the sound of scottish / nordic influenced languages, I`ll try to figure out why it`sounds so familiar to me (I`m German), ... guess it`s time to visit scotland very soon :)
Lived in Dundee on Union street for nearly seven years and I effing love that city. I learned to understand Dundonian over the years I was there and I do miss Dundee, now, I want some stovies.
I've lived away from Dundee for years and I just put on your video to listen to the accent in the background cos it makes me feel dead peaceful! I never hear it now
I was born in Dundee but grew up in St Andrews, I've worked in a shop in Dundee for nearly 5 years now and I do still struggle with the words at times 🤣 I also get the "you're not from here are you" on a daily bases 😅
Fantastic video, pal! I’ve tae say, as a non-native English speaker but a big fan o’ the Glaswegian accent, I reckon I can follow Dundonian no’ too bad at aw.
Your video is brilliant!. Loved it so much, I just had to subscribe. I'm from down south, London. But I've lived here in Dundee for 8 years now. 8 years ago I would have thought, whaaat??! I can't understand a word he's saying, let alone the accent, lol, but now, it's so easy to understand. ❤️
I grew up in in Dundee in the 1980s. Born 1981 in nine wells. I swear the Dundee accent used to be waaaaay stronger than it is nowadays. There’s a story of us leaving a French campsite - a big squad of us on a busman’s holiday. Anyways we left the campsite and a French woman said ‘au revoir’ and a wee lassie from Dundee waved back and said ‘ey, we’re awa’
Enjoyed the video I’m English from Essex but now live in Australia I’m heading to Dundee in January next year with my daughter My family going back to my 3 x Great Grandparents are from Dundee so going to see some family history 👍
I was born in Dundee, was adopted and had to grow up in Glasgow, when I got in contact with my birth family I remember being very confused during convos cause I never understood them and they where the same with me 🤣4 years later I’ve picked up the dialect and can understand them no bother
I lived in Dundee for about a year and a half. As an Austrian native I had quite a hard time with the dialect in the beginning. Buying a ticket on the bus could be quite challenging! Nevertheless, you get used to it quickly at least when it comes to understand it. Talking Dundonian is a completely different game, never managed it execpt for some words like univershity 🙂 Thanks for the wonderful video, it brings back lovely memories from way back in time! Love it!
This brought a smile to my face. All my family are from Dundee and speaks exactly like this. I am Australian born. Weirdly you look like you could be my brother 🤣
Can't wait to move to Dundee as a non native speaker, I don't think the 5 years of me living in England will be enough, even tho I do pick up accent and dialects quite well, this is on another level 😂
I have a friend from Scotland that told me about Still Game show. Not only is it hilarious but I love the accent and the local lingo they use! I am on my third time watching the series in a year! 😂😊
Not infectious to me. More of an irritant. Certain terms in the dialect may be intended to be amusing, but no dialect is inherently amusing as such. I may be wrong, but I take this speaker's laughter at the Dundee accent to be a sign of embarrassment about his own tongue. What a shame. One can relish one's own dialect without deriding it.
I see that when be in Dundee or another places in Scotland, it'll be a pain in the ass to understand what people say hahaha I'll be constantly repeating this phrase: "Could you repeat what you've said, please?" Greetings from south of Brazil mate! I love Scotland.
In the vid description you said its like a second language, thats because it is! The Scots language, sharing many words with English its mutually intelligible in the same way Swedish/Danish is.
No lie’ I’m born and raise in America atleast 3 generations and then it gets “foggy” with records… but I always struggled with English in public schools in the late 1990’s-…basically now🤷♂️ But I’ve noticed I had a stutter when I said certain words that my cheeks and throat were being told “that is wrong” And 20 years later I’ve noticed when I am fully relaxed the Maager blood from a father I’ve never know but is the only connection to this way of speaking: really opened my mind and I appreciate you posting this video for me to find it 🏴🏴🏴🇺🇸🏴🏴🏴🙈
Dundee avoided the great vowel shift that which changed the vowel sounds in most other dialects. There’s a theory that the Dundee accent is so quick and clipped because of the noise of the jute factories.
Thank you for this of course. Although it may seem odd to compare accents/dialects with series on tv, I would guess most people in Dundee would not speak like they do on EastEnders say than they would in Taggart of old? Not that it matters of course really at all for sure!
Really enjoyed this. I grew up in Aberdeen so I was comparing the phrases throughout the video and it's like 50/50 with similarities and differences! Would be interesting to compare Doric to Dundonian. I think since we're geographically a wee bit closer it does make sense!! My dad was born in Dufftown so he's a proper teuchter! My partner found it pretty interesting trying to understand him!!
A fellow speaker. Do you think the Dundee dialect is fading away? Are schools trying to promote English? You could also use Dinghy in 'Dinghying a Taxi', which means running away without paying. How would you say Ground? I would say Grund, Groond or Ground'. One of my favourite sayings is when someone asks you did you eat it all? I would say A et it a.
I remember my Greek pal on the bus with me while 2 Dundonians were speaking to each other years back and his exact words were, 'what language is that?'
I from Dundee lived here all my life . This language is natural to me but see trying to listen to you speak it I cannae understand it. Imagine having to learn it haha
Was on the phone with a Scottish fella a few years ago. Was pretty sure he was either from Glasgow or Edinburgh, but my ability to tell the difference has waned over the years. I knew though for sure he wasn’t from Dundee! Turned out, he was born in Glasgow, but went to Uni in St. Andrews, hence the kinda weird mishmash of Scots dialect he had. Plus living in the US for several years. I loved my time in Dundee and Fife. My bedroom window in Fife looked out over the Firth of Tay.
As a north Irishman that supports Dundee United i love these lol Sometimes when im over i struggle to understand really really fast Dundonians, but usually only if they are pished lol Oh, and we say brew for the dole over here too and 'pure mental' for everything lol
I was born dundee to dundee ma and pa,moved to Kent when young.dont have problem with lingo. Good chat up line is, seez a squeeze o yer paps hen . Try that one and see what happens. Viva dundee ya bas .
ROOND = RUNED = SECRET = everything on the other side of a circle or sphere is always a MYSTERY until you get there... (square root of -1) ROONS = RUNES = used to PRE-MONITOR or PREMONITIONS of what secret mysteries lay AROON the corner (of the circle, sphere) of time... knowing the secret of what is going to happen, ahead of time, by using ROONS = RUNES, one may RUIN the plans of others... (having to do with gravity)
your versions of words sound like norwegian. In stead of saying move in English, you would say flytt, flytte in Norwegian. Ein(own) is egen in Norwegian. Great video! Thank you
I was in Kirkton when "Dinghys" was first discovered! It started with people claiming they had a rubber ear and could not hear the request for a loan of a tenner or such. " ehh rubber ear"canna hear you. Then" ehh rubber dinghys" would be the reply..then just dinghys was adopted for canny hear you your talking pish. Ha ha
I live in between Stirling & Edinburgh and ur dialect is mostly the same as mine apart from the 'ie' sound becoming 'eh' but i have 2 dundonian mates so i can purely understand it, and you're not joking about you speaking fast, whits the hurry man haha, and "take & make" becomes "tack & mack" we associate that wi Fife, but here we say roondaboot anaw, Great video tho bud, i always love these "Meh mooth is as dreh as a camels sandal!!!" pmsl
My grandparents were born and raised in Dundee, after they immigrated to America, my mum was born and raised in New Jersey, USA. I vaguely remember meeting my granddad when he travelled to California where my parents and I lived. Being quite young I was facinated by him, but my mom said I didnt understand what he said. To this day I am proud of my Scottish heritage, even visiting Dundee in 1975 when I was 17 yrs old. Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it and have subscribed. Oh, and I'm ADHD
a lot of the Scottish dialects have their roots in Flemish and old English. Scots is a Germanic language in its own right. Doric in the North-east is really similar to this. We would say Da for don't, simmit is vest, sark is a shirt and trousers are breeches.
As a Norwegian this was quite easy, but also coming from a country with hundreds if not thousands of dialects, this sounded more like slang when one cuts out the endings or certain letters/sounds. We do that to here if certain dialects. For the most part we can understand each other without ease, but if not people are just lazy or prejudice and don’t want to understand. Going to Scotland for the 1st time next month, and zero expectations except it will feel like home as Scotland, as well as Ireland, is quite similar in nature, mentality and culture, but also history as the Norse invaded, plundered, raped, killed and colonized My bf is Icelandic and he’s part Irish/Scottish as all Icelanders are. I love Scottish Gaelic, and the Scottish English accent. I grew up with Monarch of The Glen back in the 2000’s, so that’s the only reference I have besides Hollywood shows which probably aren’t accurate nor authentic anyway.
This kind of dundonian spoken today like most Scots is a sort of hybrid between Scots and modern English, the only true Scots dialect still spoken is Doric and to an extent possibly the insular variants on Shetland and Orkney

Probably cause newcastle used to be part of scotland. So no surprise they have a lot of scots words

Only just started this… but we don’t say roondaboot. We say go roond that circle…
i did say that later in the video lol
I'd argue that it's 'Just go roond that circle'
Even in my head I'm going 'just go roond that circle' haha.. your right 😂

ROOND = RUNED = SECRET = everything on the other side of a circle or sphere is always a MYSTERY until you get there... (square root of -1)

Apparently one of the first places in Britain to have it as a road feature (from the old 'Turning Circle' of age-old horse and cart days). ;-)
Are there are some different accents in Dundee. Some of guys speaks very hard to understand but some are easier.
Down in leven we call slippers baffys ,so we talk the same except for just a few words
your versions of words sound like norwegian. In stead of saying move in English, you would say flytt, flytte in Norwegian. Ein(own) is egen in Norwegian. Great video! Thank you
Pure dead brilliant 😂😂😂
Just heard an interview with actor Brian Cox, who comes from Dundee. Didn't hear much of this. Has he become too Anglicized?
We never talk like that in a professional setup
Next year's vacation's gonna be fun 😂
🤓🤓
What was the semd/saimd word?
Across the bridge Down in leven we say baffys for slippers ,,old jimmy
same words in Fife except the I or eh pie or peh
i feel like this dialect properly matches the spelling more phonetically and germanically, some parts of England even speak similar to this,
🤓🤓
As a Dundonian, that was hilarious. Great stuff.

It's the bru because it used to be the Employment Bureau.

I'm the same whenever I'm up Aberdeen. Went into a paper shop served by an auld aberdonian wifey and couldn't understand a word 😂
Dundonian is not "almost" like a second language. It's Scots, so it is a second language.
This kind of dundonian spoken today like most Scots is a sort of hybrid between Scots and modern English, the only true Scots dialect still spoken is Doric and to an extent possibly the insular variants on Shetland and Orkney
@jackmc10 eh!? all Scots & all English dialects are all derived from the same root. One is not older than the other.
Scots isn't a language.
"roundabout"? That's a circle, surely!?
