"You alright?" Is British version of American "How are you?" No one really wants to know unless it is a close personal relationship or their job to know.
Lol I always answer how are you? I usually get someone to laugh when I do.
How are you? “Stressed out, fed up and tired”. “Overworked and underpaid” , “I’m fantastic, how are you this fine fine day?”
No matter what I say, I have to smile at the end. I usually get a stunned look and then a nervous chuckle, or and all out belly laugh.
What can I say, I enjoy entertaining myself.
@@trudiyoung4732 "Living the dream. You?"
I always say fine or OK. As you posted, no one really cares anyway.
not really
No
As a British person of 60 years, Britain has gone down the sewer.
We used to be a fairly decent bunch of souls. But now we are a bunch of aggressive cut throats.
Its only based on if we feel secure or not and we are very very insecure now.
Not in the North. The south are evil
We used to litrally be cut throats
I’m American and dislike the English. You’re only good for your language. In 247 year’s, the USA dismantled your Empire and became the 3rd country in the world to win the most battles. The USA has won 833 Battles, the UK has won 1105 and France has won the most with 1115. In less than 200 year’s after winning the Revolutionary War against the British, the USA put a Man on the Moon. You’re empire was big, I’ll give that to you but Union Jack was never placed on the Moon like Old Glory.
Respect for the British Bulldog ( Winston Churchill ) however, he was an absolute legend.
@@cannabislife1688so you dislike the English because? they didn’t put a man on the moon and they’ve not won many battles. well im guessing you hate virtually every country in the world then lmao
My gf is English and they don’t do that. I think you live in a city bc real people with a personality don’t pretend to make plans and then ghost you. Same here in American cities.
I'm british and live in a northern town. Its true what he's saying
mate, ONE british person isnt THE WHOLE UK
@@stupid_user_of_this_app rt people always try to claim something is true just because they never seen other things
It's like American saying why don't you stop by the house sometime? Come on by anytime....
We don't mean it. It's just a way to end the conversation. Please do not come by anytime.
Well... In the South, a lot of people do mean it (but I will admit it depends on who it is LOL).😂
In America as an American, we also say the whole “we should get drinks soon” but never do.
Why do you do it?
What is an American? Anyone with citizenship? Someone who can move there then get citizenship the next year?
@@KaKA-mt2ei in this context, mostly people who have been citizens for a long time :-)
@@neutrino78x that is subjective, what u say is a long time someone else will say isn’t. Anyone can be American or Canadian..
@@KaKA-mt2ei
" Anyone can be American or Canadian.."
Sure, but to say "we should get drink soon" and then never do implies that you have been assimilated in the culture, which takes time. lmao 🙂
That's rude to say we should meet up again and then ghost them. You should say what you mean and mean what you say
British people are deceitful and cannot be trusted.
Saying ‘we should’ is how you know it’s not a genuine invite.
‘Do you want to go for drinks this weekend’ is how you actually ask to do something.
True
naw it means fuck of i don’t want to talk to u again
@@kylewilliams3669 so them say that
Brits are hard to get to know. They're not very friendly or kind (just like New Yorkers -- but not just in a large city like London, it holds true for the WHOLE COUNTRY!!!). Brits either are all deathly shy OR their just all standoffish. I can't tell. I know from personal experience because I'm an American who lived in Great Britain for 4 years!!!! *SIGH*
I don’t recognise that definition of British folk … could the answer to you not getting on terribly well with various uk inhabitants be that you are a douche or an interminable bore ? … no offence , just putting it out there 😆
👍🏴
Thats so sad!!! It hurts MY feelings on your behalf. I WOULDN'T do well there, I'm way too loud and outgoing!!! But that's ok, some of us were created to be this way. Differences are a good things at times. Keeps like interesting.
@@qqq1q1qqqqqqq yeah that hasn’t really worked out has it Casey ? If I’m not sure if your being sarcastic or genuine then sadly it falls into the file of “tried too hard to be clever and flopped “… in the UK we are the masters of understatement and irony rather than throwing our arms in the air and screeching that you want to see the manager , your comment was neither understated or ironic so de facto it must be fallacious , irritating and worst of all …. Boring !! Ta Ta love 👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering Gee thanks. I meant it. It DOES hurt my feelings when extroverts are left on the outside looking in. There definitely was a typo. I suppose it corrected my wouldn't to better. I will fix it so no further confusion.
@@qqq1q1qqqqqqq thank you for that clarification Casey… that takes class and style none of which showed up in my previous comment … ahem , have a nice day now 👍🏴
The Brits lead the world in passive aggressiveness 😂
fr tho lol
if you look at their histry there is nothing passive aggressive, there is just aggressive
they waged 12 wars in indian subcontinent alone
britain was the biggest warcrmnl the world has ever seen
Nooo....they have advanced to full on punching now.
@@larrybuchannan186. Oh my GAWD give it a rest!!
@@larrybuchannan186 ganggang 🎉😊
British people can be cunning, so it's important to exercise caution. If they are being unkind to you, it's likely genuine, but if they are overly friendly, they might actually harbor strong dislike towards you
definitely 5 letters of cunning cuns
One is cunning,
Another one is commercial,
You can be with them and still don't know who they really are
They are definitely cunning you never know when they’ll turn around and stab you in the back 😮😮😮
lmao. so basically there's no case in which they would be friends with you
I'm so glad I'm from the NW-European mainland.
We just say what we mean.
All clear and saves a lot of time and avoids confusion. 👍
Maybe in NDL or Belgium or wherever you’re from, but other places in Europe are the same as the brits. Atleast France Ireland Italy and Spain are. ‘Ça va’ is a perfect response to ‘Ça va’ lol. Which is exactly the same as brits saying ‘yalright’ and replying ‘yalright’. Or Irish saying ‘howya’ and replying ‘howya’. Or muricans saying ‘howdy’ etc
@@Burner-wb6pf If one asks "We should meet..." just mean it or don't say it.
Invite someone if you're serious otherwise it just leading someone on.
I know quite a few Americans that prefer the being direct. Even people that moved to NL, Belgium, Germany or wherever. 🤷🏼♂️
We're still decent and courteous in engaging.
Say what you mean? A british person?..😮
Hopefully you never have a southern lady look at you with a smirk and say bless your heart 😂
Do... do you mean southern England? I'm confused.
@@GenericallyBarberic we know. Literally every single English speaker knows that. Murican slang/phrases are nothing compared to the real world. Shits easy mode. But bless your heart kiddo. You tried xo
See above xo
@@Burner-wb6pf oh and.. bless your heart… from Alabama🖕🖕🖕🖕🤣
@@tylerduke7657that made my day haha
That's similar to how when most people in North America ask, "How are you?", they just expect you to say "Fine" (even if you aren't). They don't want to hear your life story. 😀 The exception might be close friends or family members who might want to hear the real answer.
yes… i’m american, but i answered “how are you?” honestly once (all i said was that i wasn’t doing well) and the person hit me with the “oh. well, maybe next time talk to a therapist.” 😭
They gonna hear the backstory and lore lol
That is not similar we are saying hi
No that’s still the same. It’s used the exact same way in UK, Ireland, Oz etc
It’s the same in most of Europe too. In France, ‘Ça va’ means ‘how are you’ (direct translation is ‘is it going’, like how brits say ‘how’s it going?’), you can answer ‘trés bien’ which means very good, or you can just say ‘Ça va’ back to them, like how Irish people say
‘How’ya’ and reply with ‘howya’
Muricans used to say ‘howdy’ which was the same as the Irish ‘howya’
Yeah but in america there’s usually also actual affinity for others. In Britain it’s like France they’re all trying to outdo each other in who’s more hip and jaded and British enough. Being upbeat like many Americans are isn’t cool. You need to be edgy and rude that means you’re cool. They’re like a nation of self righteous liberal hipsters. Being anti American is pretty central to being British. Almost defines a lot of their identity now like it does with Canadians. Their identity has become fifty percent ‘I’m not American. At all costs fight it even if no one is pushing it on you pretend they are and hate them for it. Ignore the fact that we also tried to push our identity on others before. It was okay when we did it.’
Right there with a Southern USA "Bless your heart." (That means 180 degrees the other way)
Not always.
Bless your heart can mean different things depending on how is said.. 😄 trust me, I'm southern. You're OK, bless your heart. 😉🤭🤫
you nailed it. i lived in oklahoma for a long time and can't tell you how many times i heard some insult...like 'she's so fat', followed by 'bless her heart'. that's the bible belt for you-contradictions and hypocrisy.
The fake invite thing is universal
@@nomadicnative2444Yeh same in UK like bless your heart you are so kind or bless your heart you are so pathetic lol.
I hate when people make impressions of us saying “Oh it’s CHEWSDAY TUDAY” or “Ya Aright?” cuz not everyone in england is like that and we don’t speak posh either it’s usually roadman or normal talk u only speak like “ya aright” or “u ok love” in like leeds
Sometimes the hostility is subtle and sometimes when they can get their way over you, they show you strong dislike
People don't want to be talked to so they don't expect it. People are not used to friendly people so they avoid anyone who's not familiar completely
It's a cold world out here
About the drinks and going out it's the same in Mexico.
I weirdly always answer “I’m good and you?” when someone say me “alright?” 😅 & the thing is I know that I should not answer but it’s kind of automatic…
I need to work on that to avoir feeling awkward…
What do I need to know else to avoid feeling awkward with British people?
No no as a British person I've always found it weird that I get no answer when I ask "you alright" or when I get completely ignored when I answer someone else asking me, obviously this isn't all the time but still it's quite jarring.
😂😂I was in a 5 yr, LDR with a guy from Liverpool. The "Are you alright?", (as an American), used to throw me off, hahaha!! I would go into how my day was, (assuming he was "concerned"), rather than saying "Hey" back, hahaha!! OY!!
Especially British men, careful American ladies
Some of what you said was absolute rubbish, you can't say that about every british person!
rubbish? lol that sounds funny.
@@peenut018 Why does that sound funny to you lol
Are you from the US/Canada??
honestly I don’t know how that person thinks it’s funny..I’m from the U.S
That's true
It’s funny to hear this brought up. Usually I only ever hear people from the uk saying “American’s are so superficial asking how are you doing and really not caring for a full response”
Is another response to "youalright?" simply to say "youalright?" right back? I heard that a lot on the British TV show "The Cafe". They would keep it going a long while as every person seated/standing around the cafe would say it back and forth to whoever just walked in. It was a running joke repeated on most episodes, and always cracked me up. 🤣
As an introverted American. Britain sounds perfect. 👌
why do you think we rebel against the British people so long ago and my Grandad always says never trust a Brit
You know this is so true, i have some british friends that ask me "hey let's go to a pub tonight shall we"? And i already spare my time for them also yeah it's not happening 😂
That's very similar to what happens in Brazil. Here we sometimes say "vamos marcar" which it roughly means something like "let's schedule [a day for that]". At this point you can already give up, it's not gonna happen.
Gotcha, the American response to “You alright?” Is either “What’s up?” Or “How’s it going.”
You know when your a true British person if you and your friend start to insult each other just for the fun of it just shows you can laugh about it but do that to an American and they would get so triggered
One of my best friends is British and I trust him 100% but he also lived in America for a long time now he's an American citizen maybe that's why he's so nice LOL
As a British, it's true!
As a Brit.....
Here in Argentina ( we are americans too) we are, perhaps, more friendly. We can even have a deep conversation in a supermarket line. I don't know if it's because we care about the other or to listen to ourselves.
Maybe you are more honest. If you care about someone, you will sure show it. If not, what for?
But it must be recognized that the saying " politeness doesn't remove the brave", also has some truth.
Oh my! I strike up intense and in-depth conversations with strangers everywhere. Then again, as far as I'm concerned there are no strangers, just people you haven't said "How ya doin?" to yet.
Same in ireland. "Oh yes, I'd love to do that" means "no way in Hell will i ever do that".
No, they are prejudice of Americans and Americans all
Come from uk, great Britain Scotland. Some people are German and Norwegian. But that is it. This is why our governments are allies
Honestly I think everyone, especially in London, is stressed about the riots. Most people I meet are really nice, and there’s also average and horrible. It’s usually like that though. Oh, and one more thing, Americans please don’t say “ bo’le of wa’er “ . I know it’s a joke and most British are okay with it but it’s actually mainly London people who say that.
Bros jawline said some
🤫🧏♂️
I hear: "let's go for coffee, I'll call you" and you never hear from them... ever 😮
Americans do the same thing
In america we say hows it going and you say good how you doing snd they say good thank you but we leave it at that if youre having a bad day we dont actually wanna hear about it
Wait these are the same people who call Americans superficial.
I guess we aren’t so different from our mother country after all.
I'm British and all I do is help others. I love Americans, but there are good and bad in every society.
It is perfectly acceptable to answer the 'Y'alright?' greeting with 'Not bad, you?'
As a British person I’d like to say we dont say bottle of woAteR Or a CupPa ☕️ TeA. Lolll 😂
When I watch Tv shows the British seem very sweet and innocent in comparison which means they are good actors perhaps.They learned centuries ago not to show all your cards and use diplomacy.
*gets shot*
“Are you alright”
“Hi”
In the UK, you are more likely to be stabbed or have acid thrown in your face.
😂😂😂😂
My step mom is British and all she does is go “ well I’m from England and I’m better than you cause I have manners, and we talk properly. And we’re smarter”
It’s absolutely up to the individual in how one acts towards others.
"We should go out for drinks some time." In America, this MIGHT mean the same thing as what it means in the UK, but on the other hand, it might also literally mean the person might be willing to get drinks sometime. The latter is definitely true if the two parties exchange contact information and/or set specific plans.
USA & UKB citizens has become insecured over the dacades...
Sounds like the Pacific Northwest to me. No wonder why Oregon was controlled by the British in the 1800s
Hmm interesting. I am Dutch, we look a bit rude and direct from the outside but in fact we are honoustly interested in other people. If we ask ' how are you?' we do make time to actually have a small conversation to share personal affairs. We do show real interest in the other person and if we ask ' lets have a drink' we do actually plan and schedule time for drinking. Often the same day or the next weekend. Yeah, we are not so bad but you have to learn to know us. If we make appointments we do honour the appointment and make jt happen. Otherwise if sometimes we are not interested to being present we making up an excuse by Whatsapp or sms, to politely letting others know 'another time' I will join you. But we are interested in other persons without faking it ' to be polite' 😊
That first one... that's just were you live mate
This is sadly true. It is not nice at all. I do not know why people would want to live here.
Bro you calling me mean I’m literally British
Here's some advice if you are going to go to the ghetto side of America
If someone says
" Yo can I see that necklace " don't give it to him pretty much what is is a polite way to say I'm robbing you but if you refuse and you put his hand in his pocket just give it to him
Because 99% of the time he's got a gun
I swear these are things in America too, but for them it’s ‘how are you’ but it just means Hi
I think it's more an age thing in the UK. Older people (40 and over) are generally mmmuuuucccchhhhh kinder and thoughtful than the younger folk.
its the weather that made us like that so lets blame the rain and grey clouds
as a british person i dont rlly like this video
not sure that is universally applicable but it’s never a sign of sincerity when they drop your name and instead refer to you as “poppet / darlin’ / babe 🤢
“Aren’t British people really nice?” 👀 ummm no
We are friendly 😊
@@sutty85yeah towards Americans I’ve never seen that. British people have a level of hatred towards Americans where you’d think we bombed their cities to rubble instead of the Germans. And we didn’t we sent billions in aid to help them rebuild we sacrificed thousands to liberate France and defend Britain and still there is a strong undercurrent of animosity that Iranians and North Koreans would struggle to summon for Americans.
@@ComeAlongKay We tend to think you only entered the war when it was your assets that got hit. I mean we defended ourself after all, granted you gave us supplies, but we were the ones fighting off the germans alone up untill Pearl Harbour.
I think a lot of us think our country will just follow the US into anything they ask like we are some sort of lap dog. So not many of us put much stock in the so called "special friendship" to us it seems very one sided.
Depends who you are talking too. Good tip for road though
🤣🤣🤣🤣You ARE nice!! 💕💕💕
Now I understand why my manager always says that I am going to take you out for lunch,,he don't want to see me,,bloody heck,,
Every time I see an American in the uk I’m like “mum is he carrying a gun”
Why the hell would we carry a gun in a place where there are little to no guns???
Yeah, I’m a real bítch.. I can confirm that….
(I’m British if ur confused)
People in my area, North West, don't make them mad. They are also so annoying to understand like my mates will say "u right" when they mean yo or hi or the fact that when they're are going to tell you to f off we do it in the funniest way
I've only ever met one Brit up on a personal level where I could get to know them and they weren't pleasant. Lol it's ok though I know that's their culture.
what do you mean not plesant? what happened?
I thought he was going to expose us for being wizards 😅
Thats very confusing, i mean for instance think a foreigner comes to the UK and a brit says we should have a drink soon. How the hell would you see their true intentions? Why not stop saying that instead?
As an American on the Autism spectrum, this honestly confuses me. 😂
“Well I am nice, but the rest aren’t ”
All of Britain: 👁️👄👁️
💧
Edit: yes I liked my own comment
Glad you know every British person…
"I am but the rest aren't" that's how I also feel bro
:( stop bullying us British people.
We love the American vs. Brit vids. They are entertaining and also makes us question...."why are we doing the things we do, or say?" Onward!
I think none of us are truly open with social speak. In the South, "bless her heart" means the same thing as "let's have a drink at the pub."
Everyone in the world knows what souther muricans mean when they say bless your heart. It’s not hard to infer you’re being sarcastic etc.
Idk why ‘yall’ always think it’s some indecipherable code phrase lmao. I’m not even British yet I knew instantly it was facetious. But my comment is a perfect opportunity for you to reply with ‘bless your heart’ lol
We should have a drink soon is international shade and dismissive hahahaha
You would be suprised but americans are the same. We just say hows it goin (response is hows it going or livin the dream) or whats up (response (whats up or sup) also if you are in the city watch ur back you might get robbed fast.
Thanks for the tips!🤣 Texas, USA Grams
All the Americans in the comments thinking they have us all figured out. All I have to say is your in a bit of a pickle
I‘m not sure if I want to try and figure British people out. They seem pretty miserable
i have figured your country out
you are a massive warcrmnl
you waged 12 wars in indian subcontinent alone.
I would say the same to British people who think they have americans figured out XD I can't count the number of British people making videos about america that have it 80% wrong... try going outside of the wealthy part of our cities and interact with the actual majority.
But Joel, what about the Queen, can we trust her?
She dead babe x
She's lying now
@@mrsrjlupin3650😂😂😂😂 lying in state of death
I always thought british were simple and direct. But this video makes me think of "lazy and hypocrite"😬
I don't trust you by you saying your the only one we can trust, typical car dealer.
Americans do the let's meet for lunch thing just out of trying to act friendly because we don't want to see them again lol
Man i dont think anyone says hi after someone says “you alright”, im english and ur meant to go “yeah you alright?” type of thing
Sounds like Houston Texas 💩
I had a Romanian girl join my work team and she came to me asking why everyone keeps asking if she is alright 😂
Because she's not English
As a British person I am totally confuse
Depends who asks, if its a dude and he is asking you for drinks, he means are you free because the pub is definitely open right now
I can say this is one hundred percent true coming from a British person
If someone says alright, answer alright and move on with your day.
I am british
The answer isn’t “hi” it’s “now then mushy pea”
Perspective of a narcissistic gay man. Doesn't necessarily reflect the whole country.
I am British and why dont they trust me
At first I was like “OUCH WHY SHOULD U NOT TRUST US”
And now I remember the street’s 😅”
You forgot your own streets….
To me y'awryte? is asking are you alright, this is as a greeting but I think it's more also a polite way of checking in on people without being intrusive
Me as a person I say nothing at all I don’t give a dam who you are or think you are you dig what I’m saying jack
I'm british and this is so true
That means my grandma and grandpa doesn’t care about me my family 😢
A polite way to be rude and insincere. 😆
