HOW TO SPEAK NZ: 1) Pronounce the 'ER' sounds at the end of words as 'AH'. Because we're lazy af. 2) Never pronounce the 'R', like... ever. 3) Add 'as' at the end of things as a SPOKEN exclamation point... haha. Eg: Fast as. Slow as. Cool as. Dope as. 5) Add 'aye' at the end of things to have someone agree or disagree with you. Eg: That's cool as, aye? This smells good as, aye? This song is pretty dope, aye? 6) Add 'PRETTY' to the beginning of things, also as a spoken exclamation mark, like 'AS'. Not sure why this is, but it's a thing. Eg: This is pretty cool. This pie is pretty nice. That house is pretty flash (flash means really fancy looking). 7) Use a lot of slang. EG 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 NZ1: Yeeyur. This pie is nice as. NZ2: Gizz a taste. bites pie Oh yeah, hard. My pie is pretty munted. NZ1: Unluggyyyyyy. NZ2: Swapsies bro? NZ1: Yeah, nah. Gap it, g. NZ2: Aw guuuuhmon.
As an American, i did have to pay attention but I was able to understand this better than Glasgow accents, Essex accents, and Irish slang. It has a nice cadence to it; almost a bounce. Quite lovely, really.
You can’t understand Essex accents? they drag their words out more than a valley girl 😂 they speak so slowly and over pronounce words that’s why they sound so dumb
Seems to be only Americans who have trouble with other English accents, I guess it’s because your country is so large you don’t look outside it much, I am a kiwi so we grow up with lots of grandparents who are Scott’s, Irish and British, many kinds of European English, and of course growing up watching American movies and music you just get used to every English accent.
@@reef6826 nah, it’s really because Some of them have vocalizations and phonemes that are not included in standard American English. There are different dialects of English, so it’s not unnatural for speakers of different dialects to have trouble with languages in an asymmetrical manner, with one speaker understanding the other, and the other one struggling.
STILL... I do love the Kiwi accent and I think it's one of the most beautiful English accents ever. I lived in NZ for three months and I picked the accent, well mostly, and a few Kiwi slang words. So when I moved back to the UK, I spoke with a thick Kiwi accent and used some Kiwi slang in conversations. I loved seeing people intrigued, wondering about the accent or asking me if I was Kiwi. Problem is, I am not English myself and English is not even my first language hhhhhhh
We Americans are notoriously bad with foreign accents. I had a Kiwi friend visit here in the Deep South of the US. He was from the west coast of the South Island so had a pretty serious Kiwi accent. People here kept asking if he was German. Like …what??? How they got that idea I’ve no idea!
I'm from North America and think the Kiwi accent is awesome! I would rather they not cater to us by speaking slowly or alter their native tongue in anyway and let us foreigners learn the natural way which is to learn through exposure of natural interaction.
Well ... I'm from Mexico, I watched this video 8 months ago before heading the USA and now living in New Zealand. I can understand the accent way better 😊😊😊🎉
I fell in love with a New Zealand girl months ago, thanks for that, I learned to understand english better, and I don't think they speak that fast, I can understand.. It looks a bit with british accent, but you can tell it's different, from other!! Loved the video, it's good to learn more about languages and its costumes..
I think the kiwi accent is great and sounds to me really good although sometimes i had struggled to understand it however now i found other english accents very easy to understand .a big hug to all my friends fron NZ.
buggered or knackered both common here in nz. I usally wouldnt hear anyone say tuckered out, because tucker also means food. most of our slang here is shared with australia and uk
Living in a small rural town off from Pittsburgh, Pa and meeting a rural NewZealander once I fell in love with her accent and understood her all the time.
Omg as a Dominican I just realized we are the kiwis of the spanish-speaking world lol Edit: we speak "too fast", nobody understands our pronunciation and we use a lot of slangs.
My attempts to emulate an Australian accent always end up sounding like this lmao i never have been to nz but like it did sound like naked but if they said "no knackered" I'd just laugh about it especially because as an American nobody says knackered at all so I wouldn't have expected anyone to say it. The slang is pretty understandable though americans say a lot of silly expressional phrases like that I do wonder who says bro/bruh/bruv the most out of nz, us and uk though haha
When I first moved to Australia, I always had to repeat myself and our accent really isn't that much different, mainly just vowel pronounciations. I think it was because of the "cuzzy bro" accent.
Lol love the Kiwi accent and I'm from the UK....I say 'knackered' all the time, some people here don't know what I'm on about, someone once thought I meant something was broken! 🤔
@@rooxie5658 no, saying something is knackered to mean it’s broken is more common than say it’s buggered to mean it’s broken 😂. Obviously knackered is most commonly used to mean tired though
@@rooxie5658 I love how people use that little saying now as a way of deflecting lol, you know I’m right it’s ok to be a grown up and admit it 😂. If you are basing it on more people in the north saying buggered for broken rather than knackered, that doesn’t make it more common does it. Just what you are used to in your little world lol
As a self taught english speaker i can clearly say this is so funny yet informative cause is true, i speak native Spanish and we have so much slangs on Latin America, Ecuador is not the exception we have a lot of different words and when foreign people come here and try to talk on spanish we speak fast and with slangs they get like wth are you talking about LOL, anyways i found myself digging more into the NZ slangs, don't want to be seen like a weirdo whenever i go there
Hi , I couldn't help noticing you using the word 'slangs' . For native English speakers or for those who speak correct English the 'slangs' word does not exist so please try to avoid using it and eliminate the 's' at the end . Cheers!
This is silly Lol we don’t have to change the way we talk because tourist can’t understand us, let them get used to our slang. Most of us kiwi’s are genuine any and will talk slower if we notice a tourist doesn’t understand us.
Sure, but it makes sense to help them out if they're not at a the stage of fully understanding it yet. Same as if you were first learning a language, it'd make sense for people to talk to you in a way you understand - the goal of language is to communicate.
I lived in NZ for about four years so I'm quite familiar with the accent. And I kinda use it too but when it comes to the slang...😅😅 I thought it was all maori words!!!
I'm an American who grew up in England and lived in France and Czech Republic people say my accent sounds Canadian because sometimes I pronounce words about like aboot or people say I sound Irish or Australian but as I get older my accent is just mixed
I’ve only had 1 kiwi teacher for 2 years as opposed to another 10 years of Australian teachers and I’ve o already picked up the kiwi accent stronger lol
As an American with a neutral accent, I also tend to talk too fast. It's only a problem with the older folks and when I was teaching English to second language learners. I had to learn to talk slowly so they could understand me in the classroom. Slang? No, keep the slang, but learn to weed it out in certain conversations. Slang identifies individual dialects and is awesome to hear and learn.
I'm a Yank viewer and I've always been oddly fascinated by the Kiwi accent. No, really! It's my dream to date a Kiwi gal from NZ.😘Its so squeaky and unique, original sounding compared to the dialects around me. Its so cool & refreshing.👍
I live in america but when i finish college and get a steady income for a few years I’m going ti move to new zealand because it is the 2nd most peaceful country in the world
Once I had a New Zealander CEO back in Switzerland. He had an even thicker Kiwi accent than most people in this video. However I never had any trouble of understanding him, despite of the fact that I am not a native speaker and I only started learning English after I turned 15 plus I learned the language in Canada, which is on the other end of the spectrum of English accents.

I just enjoy listening to New Zealanders talking with thick Kiwi accent :) But when I had some business trips to the UK and had to talk with blue-collar real English people while I was on factory visits I just ran into some people I could not understand more than 20-30% it was really awkward to me, because I thought I speak English at an almost native level, most Canadians think I am from the US while, Americans think I am from Canada, and they all get surprised when they realize I am from Europe.
Why dont you just teach migrants/tourists the meaning of slangs? I lived in NZ for a year and had a hard time at first but then I’d just straight up ask the meaning of things. You could have a NZ slang dictionary available in airports and tourist spots if you don’t already have one.

I’m from Boston massachusetts….. I met a friend on Facebook, she’s from New Zealand 🇳🇿 I recall her saying she doesn’t have an accent. I’ve always written with her. I’m gonna make her talk now lol
He means words with “il” together. In this case “Milk” he says we distort the two letters together and sounds something like molk”. Which I guess is probably true lol.
Without coming off as xenophobic but speaking from experience as a foreign language student, these people need to take the liberty to study not only the English language but also the dialect of where they are living. I'm a New Zealander living in Brazil. I've been here for two years and I understand about 90 percent, if not more, of what people say, even when they use slang. This is because I pay a lot of attention to how they speak here because I like to be able to understand people where I live. Expecting locals to change their way of speaking as a means of catering to foreigners is a pretty ridiculous concept. When people here realise that I'm not a local they often start speaking overly slowly to me, but I make it clear that I understand Portuguese spoken at a faster pace. This is partly due to the fact that Brazilians can be very helpful, but, for me, it's not necessary.
You are completely right when it comes to visiting another country, but one problem that came with technology is when you work with an international team from different countries, all trying to speak english their way, and that can become quite a challenge. One time I had to work with indians, newzealanders and russians at the same time on a call and it was a nightmare for everyone.
I’m a student studying English in Auckland. When I arrived at here, I almost cried I really could not understand what they are talking about. Also, There’s a lot of name of street comes from Maori which is confusing as well . Do you know how to pronounce “ Onehunga “. Look for answer yourself!!!
Sure you can use slang. But the purpose of speech is to communicate a message to the other person. If you cannnot speak clearly, or you speak too fast, the message is lost and talking becomes redundant. If you don’t care if you’re understood by others, then you are the problem, not the other person.
Honestly, this accent is far more easier to understand than most of the British accents, lol
lol

I’m from Boston massachusetts….. I met a friend on Facebook, she’s from New Zealand 🇳🇿 I recall her saying she doesn’t have an accent. I’ve always written with her. I’m gonna make her talk now lol
Here in 22, and i must say, our kiwi slang is still sweet as
4:27 - What does he mean by:
"And with I else..."
""You're gonna get a bottle of mook."
He means words with “il” together. In this case “Milk” he says we distort the two letters together and sounds something like molk”. Which I guess is probably true lol.
Without coming off as xenophobic but speaking from experience as a foreign language student, these people need to take the liberty to study not only the English language but also the dialect of where they are living. I'm a New Zealander living in Brazil. I've been here for two years and I understand about 90 percent, if not more, of what people say, even when they use slang. This is because I pay a lot of attention to how they speak here because I like to be able to understand people where I live. Expecting locals to change their way of speaking as a means of catering to foreigners is a pretty ridiculous concept. When people here realise that I'm not a local they often start speaking overly slowly to me, but I make it clear that I understand Portuguese spoken at a faster pace. This is partly due to the fact that Brazilians can be very helpful, but, for me, it's not necessary.
this was worth it my man
I totally agree with you
You are completely right when it comes to visiting another country, but one problem that came with technology is when you work with an international team from different countries, all trying to speak english their way, and that can become quite a challenge. One time I had to work with indians, newzealanders and russians at the same time on a call and it was a nightmare for everyone.
Eu confirmo oq você disse, muito bem vindo ao Brasil broo 🇧🇷
Im australian and i love this accent
I always use chur bro cuzzy n all that stuff kinda grew up with it aye
Ah yes...The Clone Trooper accent!
Or the Swayzak accent.
I have no idea what’s happening I’m just high and think that New Zealanders sound cute so I wanted to find videos of their accents
This is why i love our country
I can understand cause I’ve been watching British programs since I was a young child.
Saying “like” a lot is a California thing too btw. Lol
Why that host sounds like Korg from Ragnarok
The director of ragnork is a kiwi that's why
And the director played the part of Korg
Explanation: everyone sounds like this.
Love ❤️ to New Zealand 🇳🇿 balling accent
Learning kiwi accent is the best way to start understanding ANY english accent!!!
I’m a student studying English in Auckland. When I arrived at here, I almost cried I really could not understand what they are talking about. Also, There’s a lot of name of street comes from Maori which is confusing as well . Do you know how to pronounce “ Onehunga “. Look for answer yourself!!!
ポニョポニョ oh- knee- who- Nga . 😂
At least if you’re Japanese, Maori pronunciation is the same as Japanese

It’s such a cute accent, idk I like the kiwi accent 💀💀 I’d be happy if I had a friend with that accent
Sure you can use slang. But the purpose of speech is to communicate a message to the other person. If you cannnot speak clearly, or you speak too fast, the message is lost and talking becomes redundant. If you don’t care if you’re understood by others, then you are the problem, not the other person.
