Henya asking if Heavenly have eaten yet: Jeet? Heavenly: I think i oughta keel two particular individuals today. Especially females with blonde hair then green hair.
For my non-English speaking friends, “Jeet” is not actually the word used to ask if someone has eaten as explained in the video! It became like this through a simple process! As the many accents of the southern US developed things changed, as you would expect! The southern accent is very fluid in the way it’s spoken, so sounds that would make someone stop that flow of speaking were removed! This lead to the word “you” being shortened to simply “ya’” so the “ou” sound didn’t stop the flow, turning the sentence into “Did ya’ eat?” This was then shortened even further over time, causing the whole sentence to become compressed down into only necessary sounds to facilitate the flow of speech while speaking very quickly, becoming something like ”D’y’eat?” The “Y” sound is being forced out right after the “D” sound when saying this, which leads to almost an aggressive “J” sound, which is followed very quickly by the word “Eat”, causing it to be pronounced “Jeet” or “Jeat”!
It’s funny when Henya says “y’all” a bit of her Texan accent appears. As she has told the story she lived in the US long enough to learn some English and kind of forgot Japanese then moved back and went the other way until VTubing and relearned English.

I'm a south Canadian & Understooded everything apart from Fo'c'sle we call those Ship Bow(Bau) & the crew quarters is NOT in that section THATS where we put the fore Balest weights & Crew quarters in in the CENTER of the ship! other wise you'll drown your crew if you hit an iceburg or run aground on Cape Sable!
There is a difference, though unless you're a shipwright, sailor, or otherwise nautical enthusiast, it won't really matter. The bow is the front of a ship. If the ship has a raised section, higher than the rest of the deck, that's a forecastle. For reasons of tradition, sometimes the name is retained even though strictly speaking, it isn't one.
Yep English is weird. First it was Celtic English, native Welsh is kind of what that would of sounded like. Then Latin was introduced by Romans. Then the Angles and the Saxons who were German tribes settled and conquered. For a few hundred years they spoke this form of English but then the Vikings came a knocking, so Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes of various tribes started raiding and setting up colonies on the island especially around York. This was the Dane Law, or the land under the law of the Danes. English started to incorporate Nordic words like "thing" almost ever word with a "th" sound is Norse and all the days of the week are named after Norse gods except for Saturday and Sunday. After England had a Viking king on the throne everything just sort of integrated. Then the north men who settle in France the Normans invaded and added the french of that day into the language. It has a tendency English, to absorb other languages words into itself.
Your Celtic English is not even an English language. when the Germanic tribes came over to the Isles that is when English came about OLD English. That Celtic English you said is not even in the same language family. It is a Celtic Language. Celtic is not English in any way. It was called Brythonic.
@@matthewackermanaski9687 Breton is what they speak in Brittiany, France. Brythonic is the type of Celtic language spoken in what is now called England pre Anglo-Saxon.
I’ve always found homophones so interesting. Like: “The heir aired in error ere to Eric.” The only exception there is Eric, but I thought I might as well use the name.
I love reading books or handwritten letters from medieval times when people would spell things completely differently from each other, and it changed over time from one way of spelling to another
I work in the business processing field, and the usual clients we talk to are mostly Americans, you'd develop to speak neutral English, the middle ground of speaking it. Usually, it's the safest way to talk to people and being understood by the listener. However, if we would then listen to clients, we need to really educate ourselves with slangs or phrases unique to them is specific place. It's true that English is really hard to learn in totality. Also, any non-native English speaker willing to learn a language can learn more if they're able to speak with someone who speaks in their native tongue. Going to proper class for English is helpful if you don't know how to speak it at all, or for you to know more words to add in your vocab in usual convos. Henya though doing ESL is already a great effort for her to understand basic and above basic English, and then slangs, phrases,or even innuendos, is from her VShojo peers LOL
The reason Fo'c'sle is called what it is, a contraction of 'forecastle', is because back in the middle ages they'd put murlons on the bow and stern of the ship for cover in combat. Since it ended up looking like a castle, it was called a 'forecastle'. Over time the fortifications disappeared, because they weren't useful anymore, but the name remained.
"... We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” ― James D. Nicoll
Henya would be amused to learn Southern accents are often used for characters who speak in a Kansai accent for English dubs... Which makes sense as both locales are more known for their countrysides and farmlands
Matching pronunciation with the spelling is hardest part in English, just like Japanese's pitch accent. More of a "have to know by knowing" than memorizing some kind of rules. Knowing multiple languages helps with clarifying some concepts that is confusing in one language e.g. there = あそこ/そこ their = 彼らの they're = 彼らは One of my biggest challenge to get used to English from Mandarin is the lack of possessive particle (的, or の in Japanese) in English. It is really clearly distinguished in Japanese and Mandarin. In English, it is built in, use " 's ", or "of" but in a different grammatical order.
Japanese has homonyms, English has homonyms, but the most f'ed up homonym are in French! They have quadruple & quintuple homonyms, like so: "cent", "sang", "sans", "sent", "s'en" all sound the same in French. Meaning: cent="100" (the number one hundred), sang="blood", sans="without", sent="smells", s'en=a common two word combination used to reflect on things which were already said previously, like in English "... of it". "son"=his, "son"=sound, "sont"=are, "sond"=probe, "s'on"=another common two word combination used to reflect things that were already said previously. "vers"=towards, "vers"=verse (also spelled verset), "vert"=green, "verre"=glass, "ver"=worm, "vair"=part of the fur of a special kind of two-colored squirrel (ups that's actually a sextuple homonym). (BTW: this doesn't even include proper nouns or place names. Also doesn't include plural forms - they you would have even more.)
I write and was going to write some "southern" that a group of people spoke in the story. Being not only in the south, but in the very deep and very rural south, I started paying very close attention to exactly what I heard and what came out of my mouth. It only resembles "English" a little bit. Oh there's English in there, but you have to look for it if you ain't from around here. I can talk real good when I need to but usually don't bother.

tbf most of those have roots in french aka the language that forgets how to pronounce letters and roll the dice on which letters to omit
Yeah I was wondering when I'd get to the obligatory "this still ain't gonna help for 💩 if you end up in Louisiana" comment 😂
Especially Cajun speak. It's just made up nonsense half the time.
"i didnt call my gramma meemaa but my cousins did" after quick math... ITS THE SAME GRAMMA :o
If they teach Henya to square dance Heavenly might explode.
we learn their, they're, there when we are 10, it is a good way to catch people who don't pay attention in class or don't go to school
or just plain stupid
yup 🙂
I'm reminded of the phrase, "naw'mean?"
Ari laugh is so contagious i love it
I'm a south Canadian & Understooded everything apart from Fo'c'sle we call those Ship Bow(Bau) & the crew quarters is NOT in that section THATS where we put the fore Balest weights & Crew quarters in in the CENTER of the ship! other wise you'll drown your crew if you hit an iceburg or run aground on Cape Sable!
There is a difference, though unless you're a shipwright, sailor, or otherwise nautical enthusiast, it won't really matter.
The bow is the front of a ship. If the ship has a raised section, higher than the rest of the deck, that's a forecastle. For reasons of tradition, sometimes the name is retained even though strictly speaking, it isn't one.
Yep English is weird. First it was Celtic English, native Welsh is kind of what that would of sounded like. Then Latin was introduced by Romans. Then the Angles and the Saxons who were German tribes settled and conquered. For a few hundred years they spoke this form of English but then the Vikings came a knocking, so Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes of various tribes started raiding and setting up colonies on the island especially around York. This was the Dane Law, or the land under the law of the Danes. English started to incorporate Nordic words like "thing" almost ever word with a "th" sound is Norse and all the days of the week are named after Norse gods except for Saturday and Sunday. After England had a Viking king on the throne everything just sort of integrated. Then the north men who settle in France the Normans invaded and added the french of that day into the language.
It has a tendency English, to absorb other languages words into itself.
And the English started going around the world to beat up other cultures for loose vocabulary.
*Breton, hence why there's the term "Britain".
Your Celtic English is not even an English language. when the Germanic tribes came over to the Isles that is when English came about OLD English. That Celtic English you said is not even in the same language family. It is a Celtic Language. Celtic is not English in any way.
It was called Brythonic.
@@matthewackermanaski9687 Breton is what they speak in Brittiany, France.
Brythonic is the type of Celtic language spoken in what is now called England pre Anglo-Saxon.
That claim that almost every th word comes from Norse is not even close to true.
Someone tells Henya that she can learned English easily by watching plenty of movies and series in English. She needed that.
“i’d’ve” is pretty often further simplified down to “i’da”
Dare
“there, there” which doesn’t mean anything but its said for comfort or meaning everything will be fine.
Fo'c'sle is an abbreviated form of "forecastle."
Heavenly probably screamed in a discord call and Badjur's group are confused as fuck
good way to learn all this southern language is to watch a Jeff Foxworty special
"I before E; except when your foreign neighbor Keith receives eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters. Weird."
It's a messed-up language
I’ve always found homophones so interesting. Like: “The heir aired in error ere to Eric.” The only exception there is Eric, but I thought I might as well use the name.
Always fun to say those.
Erin would be a good choice for this one probably.
The "j'ee" reminds me of the breakdown of the idiom "Let's boo boo" from The World's End.
How did we get through the whole video without learning the meaning of ''aight'' and ''bless your heart.''
and they call their grandpa Pee-paw
I love reading books or handwritten letters from medieval times when people would spell things completely differently from each other, and it changed over time from one way of spelling to another

I'd love for Henya to learn "Naw'meen?"
Henya talking to Heavenly on a Minecraft playsession: "Y'ontoo the caves?"

This is why i will always consider english similar to the drunk uncle in the family
I work in the business processing field, and the usual clients we talk to are mostly Americans, you'd develop to speak neutral English, the middle ground of speaking it. Usually, it's the safest way to talk to people and being understood by the listener. However, if we would then listen to clients, we need to really educate ourselves with slangs or phrases unique to them is specific place. It's true that English is really hard to learn in totality. Also, any non-native English speaker willing to learn a language can learn more if they're able to speak with someone who speaks in their native tongue. Going to proper class for English is helpful if you don't know how to speak it at all, or for you to know more words to add in your vocab in usual convos. Henya though doing ESL is already a great effort for her to understand basic and above basic English, and then slangs, phrases,or even innuendos, is from her VShojo peers LOL
Henya is precious ❤
This is the real Henya Corruption Arc.
Ex. They’re over there in their house
The reason Fo'c'sle is called what it is, a contraction of 'forecastle', is because back in the middle ages they'd put murlons on the bow and stern of the ship for cover in combat. Since it ended up looking like a castle, it was called a 'forecastle'. Over time the fortifications disappeared, because they weren't useful anymore, but the name remained.
Man seeing some of these spelled out and not knowing how to read them but when it’s said just having the forehead slap
The reduction of forecastle killed me.

i wonder if they told her about southern insults would of loved to see that reaction. "oh bless your pee picking heart dayo"
I'm genuinely curious if Zen has ever unironically said "y'all'dn't've" and her TTS just didn't fucking understand XD
I need...NEED to hear Heavenly's reaction to this. I Need It SO Bad! 😂🤣😂🤣
Henya would be amused to learn Southern accents are often used for characters who speak in a Kansai accent for English dubs... Which makes sense as both locales are more known for their countrysides and farmlands
Matching pronunciation with the spelling is hardest part in English, just like Japanese's pitch accent. More of a "have to know by knowing" than memorizing some kind of rules. Knowing multiple languages helps with clarifying some concepts that is confusing in one language e.g.
there = あそこ/そこ
their = 彼らの
they're = 彼らは
One of my biggest challenge to get used to English from Mandarin is the lack of possessive particle (的, or の in Japanese) in English. It is really clearly distinguished in Japanese and Mandarin. In English, it is built in, use " 's ", or "of" but in a different grammatical order.
Japanese has homonyms, English has homonyms, but the most f'ed up homonym are in French! They have quadruple & quintuple homonyms, like so:
"cent", "sang", "sans", "sent", "s'en" all sound the same in French. Meaning: cent="100" (the number one hundred), sang="blood", sans="without", sent="smells", s'en=a common two word combination used to reflect on things which were already said previously, like in English "... of it".
"son"=his, "son"=sound, "sont"=are, "sond"=probe, "s'on"=another common two word combination used to reflect things that were already said previously.
"vers"=towards, "vers"=verse (also spelled verset), "vert"=green, "verre"=glass, "ver"=worm, "vair"=part of the fur of a special kind of two-colored squirrel (ups that's actually a sextuple homonym).
(BTW: this doesn't even include proper nouns or place names. Also doesn't include plural forms - they you would have even more.)
I write and was going to write some "southern" that a group of people spoke in the story. Being not only in the south, but in the very deep and very rural south, I started paying very close attention to exactly what I heard and what came out of my mouth.
It only resembles "English" a little bit. Oh there's English in there, but you have to look for it if you ain't from around here. I can talk real good when I need to but usually don't bother.
As someone who lives in the south, i can tell you that we have different ways of saying grandma. To list a few there's Mimi, Memaw, Mamaw, Mawmaw, and Nana
