This is just an individual thing, there’s people in both countries that say both pronunciations, even within the same region. It’s more of a person to person thing than a geographical thing, I think. Except the American girl’s pronunciation of apricot. I’ve never heard anyone else say it like that.
@@TatianaB-lj5ht These are all correct. I've lived in the south all my life. Language differences even just in the same country are very interesting! I can definitely tell Northerners apart from Southerners, we pronounce vowels completely differently. In some northern accents, I can hear "O" is more pronounced than the way we say it.
I, for the LIFE of me, cannot tell the difference between American accent and Canadian accent, I didn’t even know that they had different accents until recently
Je suis americian mais je prononce les mots comme la canadienne 😅 Je suis de Minnesota (a la frontière du Canada) alors mon accent est peut-être influencer par les canadiens. Pardonne mon français ! Cherche sur UA-cam le comedien Charlie Berens si tu es curieux de mon accent 😂
There’s different accents on the East Coast of Canada (and the US too). Nova Scotia has a large community of Scottish settlers which is perhaps why some pronunciations may be different than the French and Anglophone.
I am Cdn. I say tour and against like the American girl. U girls forgot a few other words.... herb, mobile, Regina, and about. (Haha. I just said "about" to be funny. Cdns dont say "about" like the way Americans think we do)
As a Canadian, if I do something unintended to someone, and I just say the one word, “Sorry”, it can be more drawn out like “Sore-ree”, but only when being playful. However, when said to a stranger or someone that we don’t want to be cutesy with, it’s would just be, “Sorry!” or “Oh sorry!”
I’m an American, from the west coast and we say apricot and tour like the Canadian girl, but I’ve definitely heard others say it like the American girl.
They forgot to do “Toronto” and “Nunavut” Also people, even as a Canadian, I am SO confused. WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY OF SAYING “NUNAVUT” is it nun-a-vut/none of it OR “noon-a-vut”, as google translate says (im pretty sure google translate is american-english tho so idk?)
“Ay-pricot?” Some Americans might pronounce it like that, but I doubt that’s common. I’m certain most people pronounce it “app-ricot.” “Tour” could go either way. I pronounce it more like “too-er.” Basically, besides “against,” there’s really no difference.
My personal understanding is that Canadian English has an accent close to that of central America. It is American English, but some words are different.
I'm Canadian and I hate when (some) Canadians say Agayyyynst. It's usually out west. Most Canadians pronounce it like against though. Also, most Americans I know pronounce tour the way the Canadian girl pronounced it.
No American in the world says APEricot
Yeah that’s not what she said either
@@your_-_mom that is what she said
@@jamieboer3466 she said aprecot not whatever this dude said
@@your_-_mom get your ears checked then
@@jamieboer3466 nobody says a-per-i-cot including the person in the video
I’m a canadian and lived in canada my whole life, i never heard someone say “Agaynst” 😭😂
as a Toronto dweller I can confirm no body says "Agaynst"
So true
@@Grievous54 dweller, that sounds like a really cool alternative to citizen.
sounded like how we’d cry it in Scotland
I’m from Alberta and I’ve only ever said it as agaynst
It’s weird because here in America I’ve heard many pronounce the word “tour” like the Canadian did.
These are generalizations. So yeah, American speech varies.
I personally pronounce it like the Canadian here.
Same
Me too
"Tour" has a lot of regional variance in the US.
That goes for any word in a language spoken in a certain region. People just compare the "general" or "standard" pronunciations.
That's true for every single word.
That's also true for every single language. Everybody has an accent.
noo.. Its always too or sayit too orrr
NL correct me if I’m wrong, but Tom Power pronounces TOUR without the diphthong, and thus like the American girl.
I'm from CO and I've always said Tour like the Canadian
... didn't they pronounce "diesel" exactly the same?!
Yes, they did.
Yes yes they did
no you’re going crazy there’s ants crawling in your skin
Sorta, I think it's an emphasis situation, the American drew the z sound out longer than the Canadian did
As an American, I have never heard anyone pronounce "apricot" like that.
it’s a west coast thing lol
It's a Californian thing
@@babyvanderwoodsen noo I'm from Jellybelly region we dont
I’m from Virginia and I say that.. 😀
Yet again, most of my life I’ve been everywhere EXCEPT the US.
it's the right way
-me, a Candian on the west coast
the way you said “against” in the Canadian accent sounded very scottish I’m ngl
Many of the original Europeans who settled in Canada were Scottish
I say everything like a Canadian except against😭
I’m Canadian and I don’t hear anybody say it like how she said it
Freak
im jk but like bsfr
same! & I'm from US
Same for me and I’m from the US

I’m American but i pronounce those wrds as if I’m Canadian idk why. Never even been to Canada
Same but I have been to Canada when I was very little
Tour is a giveaway. The Canadian tour sounds a bit French
@@larshofler8298Well it does make sense. Tour is a french word afterall.
It's because the Canadian accent primarily comes from the US.
@@elijahsmall5873 Has 2 meanings in french.
I was born in Canada and have lived in Canada for my who life. I have never heard anyone says “aGaInSt” 💀
Bloody Newfies
As a Canadian I didn’t realize how frequently we over pronounce the O’s and A’s.
I feel like midwest US does this too though
"Diesel" sounds the same to me and "tour" is said all kinds of different ways here. Also where do y'all say "APEricot"?!
New jersey
@@AMPProf Huh, alright thanks for the info. I'm a southerner.

California
Everyone canadian in the comment saying they've never heard "Agaynst" but I'm from the east coast and heard it all the time
same!
Fr
I’m west coast and I still hear it a lot
Agaynst?? Oml I’m crying we don’t speak like this😭😭😭😭
Yeah because you say eye-ren instead of eye-ern
@@dinosharttt no I don’t…
It's entirely dependent on where in the country you are from. Remember, Canada isn't just Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
@@BonziBuddy. fr yet everyone thinks that. I’m from Edmonton (embarrassing to state😭)
Canada is a big country, not just your city, donut.
As a Canadian I can confirm this is very true
Where in Canada are you from
@@vickjr98 Alberta
C: Pasta
A: pOsta
Funny thing is Canadian pronouncing is like how South Africans pronounce words
yeah well people in the hood talk like southern people. texans.
Canada speaking like UK queen of a Canada!
No, they don't. lol
I, for the LIFE of me, cannot tell the difference between American accent and Canadian accent, I didn’t even know that they had different accents until recently
To bad they didn't do pasta that would start a war
I pronounce all in the American way
Me just chiming in with British English after every word:
so not the Kings English.. Just British okidoki .. Lolzz😜🤣😂😅😀🤪
I guess it’s because I live in Quebec and my English accent gets influenced from the internet that I speak American English
Je suis americian mais je prononce les mots comme la canadienne 😅
Je suis de Minnesota (a la frontière du Canada) alors mon accent est peut-être influencer par les canadiens.
Pardonne mon français !
Cherche sur UA-cam le comedien Charlie Berens si tu es curieux de mon accent 😂
@@Eric-xh9eeoh d'accord
I’m Canadian and I always say “against” like how Americans say it. Same goes with “tour.”
If you say that the woman on the right saying “APEricot” is not speaking like an American would then you never were a true American 💀
I’m filipino and I remember saying “Apricot” in Canadian accent. 😂
americans say that too.
The against in Canadian had that Scottish bit to it
Im from michigan and we side with canada on most of these
Your practically a Canuck 😂😂
I thought that the tour one was switched around
0:04 - I've never heard an American (or any English speaker for that matter) pronounce "tour" as "tore". That's strange.
I say apricot like Canadians.
L
WE ALL DOO
@@AMPProfnot me I’ve always said ape ri cot but then again I’m really American
Bro it's like they switched places
thats the joke
Tour+tour=torture
Don't travel too much, it might feel like a turtle. Uh, tortur...
"Ageynst"...... damn Canadian Scottish, thats something new 😂
Maybe she starting a trend
Canada: Word
America: Word
Canada: Chuckle
i’m american and i’ve never heard anyone pronounce apricot like “ape-ricot”
Really? I live in California and everyone here says ape-ricot.
@@intreoo lol i live in new york so that’s probably why i’ve never heard that pronunciation before
You must have been swapped with the sped kid
@@epicdoglover i live in ohio and i hear people say ape pricot.
I’m from Las Vegas and I say ape ri cot too though I’ve heard the other pronunciation too from other people or maybe the internet
I’m a Canadian 😊
American here and it’s very never heard tour pronounced like “tore”. Unless from Jersey maybe. Usually pronounced “too-er”
I cant find much info on regional variations but I suspect the American one is from the west coast
@@Abstract_zxnope west coast doesn’t say “tore” either.
Never heard any of us Canadians saying "against" like that..
EVER 😑
As a Canadian ive never heard someone say Tuor
She sounded Scottish when she said Agaynst 😂
There’s different accents on the East Coast of Canada (and the US too).
Nova Scotia has a large community of Scottish settlers which is perhaps why some pronunciations may be different than the French and Anglophone.
"Apricot" and "against" are said both ways in Canada that are in this video
In Maine we definitely say Apricot like the canadians. I have never heard it the other way.
“It’s no accent you can sale me”
As a Canadian i do say this
NO AMERICANS SAY AY-PRICOT
Midwesterners apparently pronounce words more like Canadians. Specifically people from Toronto
My favorite "Sorry".
"About"
I couldn’t even tell the difference between “tour” and “diesel” 🤣
If tour rhymes with floor its the american version, if tour _almost_ rhymes with brewer its the canadian version
As a New Yorker, I say "diesel" like the Canadian.
But they are saying it the same way??
@@HeroBear64 the vowels are shorter in the Canadian, we New Yorkers speak with short vowels too
Im canadian, the only time ive ever been in America was to pass thru an airport, and i say all the American ones lol
Why’d against sound so Scottish am howlin right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am Cdn. I say tour and against like the American girl. U girls forgot a few other words.... herb, mobile, Regina, and about.
(Haha. I just said "about" to be funny. Cdns dont say "about" like the way Americans think we do)
Americans say apricot like that too
Not me I’ve always said ape ri cot
They should have used the words “sorry” and “about”.
Those are dead giveaways to tell if someone is from Canada.
Sore-ee and Aboot.
As a Canadian, if I do something unintended to someone, and I just say the one word, “Sorry”, it can be more drawn out like “Sore-ree”, but only when being playful. However, when said to a stranger or someone that we don’t want to be cutesy with, it’s would just be, “Sorry!” or “Oh sorry!”
It's a very severe minority that pronounces it as aboot. For most it comes out more like aboat.
@@ralphvelthuis2359It's neither. Look up the term "Canadian raising".
@@paddlefar9175They're talking about how Americans pronounce it more like SAR-ry.
The Canadian is probably from Nova Scotia with that "against"
I say against and I’m Canadian but my principal says AgYAnst I also say tour in stead of ture
I a life-long New Yorker and I pronounce "apricot" the "Canadian way!"
Canadian here but never ever in my life heard anyone said “agaynst”, the word “out” pretty noticable but my god dont over do it!
I’m an American, from the west coast and we say apricot and tour like the Canadian girl, but I’ve definitely heard others say it like the American girl.
*” Agenst “*
I feel like these two countries (most countries really) have way too many different accents to try to generalize them like this.
Yeah but I am American and agree with the American in the video. Idk if that really means anything tho
I have never heard “tore” instead of tour
This is the most clear proncounciation video I heard I did not really know the difference
As a Michigander I can confirm I'm part Canadian
Truth is, i miss you. All the time, every second, every minute, every hour, every day❤🇨🇵🇺🇸🏴🇮🇹🇨🇦
Against and diesel sound the same
Most people in America don’t say APEricot or torr..
APEricot is a California thing
Both of those suggest she might be from the west coast
Me:Canada
My grandma:ganada
"About"
“Agaynst” is more of western Canada. I always hear it in SK, AB, MB Canadians
I feel like I use both sides for different words 🤷♀️
There’s a moose aboose the hoose
You girls are so pretty 😍😍
As an American, us Americans use the Canadians pronunciation for all of those words except “against”.
The “American” girl is an imposter🤨
I am American. Most the time Canadians & Americans sound just alike.
They forgot to do “Toronto” and “Nunavut”
Also people, even as a Canadian, I am SO confused. WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY OF SAYING “NUNAVUT” is it nun-a-vut/none of it OR “noon-a-vut”, as google translate says (im pretty sure google translate is american-english tho so idk?)
It's Noon-a-voot.
As a West Coast American, I always assumed it was NONE OF IT
I pronounce it as if the vowels in "Nun" and "Vut" both rhyme with "Book"
Some of these are more just about preference, I have heard both ways from both Canadians and Americans
The accents in the US and canada always get so confusing cause people pronounce everything so Differently
I am an American and pronounce all the of them the same way as the Canadian except the word “against”
Both pronunciations of "apricot" are in use in the USA.
I thought I was Canadian when the American said “aprecot”
the usa is the second biggest spanish speaking country in the world so that's had a big influence on the american accent
Aside from the “A-gain-st” us in the Midwest pronounce them pretty much the same as Canadians
Idk where the American girl is from but that is not how most of those words are pronounced by the majority of Americans
Missed out "Aboot"
I can relate to the Canadian one on a spiritual level Ong 💀💀💀
No one ever guesses my accent? anywho…
Have a good day mate!
Cheers!

They sound the same to me
They forgot out and about!😅😅
as a Canadian, I have a mixed accent lmao
I say Apricot like a Canadian but I'm a Floridian. 😂
I am Canadian and that is 💯 how I speak
I'm in the US and I say most of these words like the Canadian
As a Michigander I guess I sound more like a Canadian
