I've lived in Calgary for pretty much my whole life and like you said, for the most part we speak with a standard North American accent, like what you might hear on the news or in most TV shows. I feel like the "Canadian" accent that people often point out usually comes from people who live in less populated areas, older generations, or from families with a long history in Canada. And of course, there are regional accents, like in Newfoundland for example.

      An easy way to differentiate is how they pronounce certain words. Canadians (not all, but most I've heard) use the British pronunciation of certain words. For example, words like process and project. Americans pronounce it praw-cess and praw-ject, whereas Canadians pronounce them the British way, pro-cess/pro-ject. Other words that Canadians often pronounce the British way are against (a-GAINst), whereas Americans pronounce it aGENst. Pasta...Americans pronounce it pah-sta whereas Canadians often pronounce it pass-ta. A couple more obvious ones are how they pronounce their o's, so many Canadians pronounce sorry as "so-rry", about "a-boat", etc. There are many other examples, but as others have stated, it differs depending on the region.

    I've never heard a single Canadian say "oot" or "aboot"; that's an American joke. It is based on something though, since many Canadians do have a specific pronunciation of the "ou" sound. In linguistics it even has a name: Canadian raising (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_raising)
    It's not unique to Canada, some dialects across the border also have it, but it's pretty widespread in Canada.

    It's hilarious, every Canadian I've ever seen vehemently denies "oot and aboot" but that really is what their accent makes it sound like when they say those words. It's subtle, and not so over-the-top as the spelling implies (maybe more like oat and aboat), but that is the #1 single biggest way to identify a Canadian - their accent on words with the 'ou' sound. Also like someone else said, they will use the british pronunciations and spellings of certain words while speaking in what mostly sounds like a broadly American midwestern accent.

      I can agree with that, I used to play with these American kids online on my PS4, pretty American kids coming from a state like Ohio, anyways they were pretty cool but they would always ask me questions about Canada and even said that I had an accent a couple times, I didn’t really notice it but when I really focused on it I did realize some of the words I said had an accent. Ooot and aboot just doesn’t happen but I can see that we are pretty hard on the “ou” sound.

    • @CrowDawg11
      @CrowDawg11 2 роки тому +3

      @@AlexanderNathan2346 like I said, I think "oot and aboot" is a little bit of an overstatement; I really think "oat and aboat" captures the sound better, it's not quite as exaggerated as the former implies. You really do have to listen pretty close to tell a Canadian from a midwestern American but the difference is there and is noticeable to those who aren't Canadian, but of course it's hard for y'all to notice it - it's your everyday speech after all, it just sounds normal to you! I enjoy all these regional dialect and accent differences, it really adds a lot of character in my opinion. Cheers

    We definitely don't say oot and aboot but we do say t'boot as in "in addition to that". At least in Ontario if we're complaining about a series of things and then we have that last clincher we'll say then blah blah blah t'boot. It's used like a sarcastic "icing on the cake". I think Americans have heard us say this and misunderstand the meaning of the term.

    Here are my answers: 1. Canadians are extremely polite: True for the most part. Manors are really important in Canada and people will go out of their way to help you most of the time. 2: Canadians live in the middle of nowhere and men are lumberjacks: Living out in middle of nowhere can sometimes be true when you have the second largest country in the world with only a 35 million population this does happen alot. As far as Lumberjacks no. The forestry industry is huge in Canada a major industry in Canada but most people are not lumberjacks. 3: Canadians say "eh" "oot" and "aboot", people do say eh alot but the other two no. I think oot and aboot is for mostly french speaking Canadians where English is their second language. I never heard a person that English is their first language say oot or aboot. 4: Canada is freezing cold all the time, False, Canadian does get all 4 seasons and summers can be real hot in some places in Canada. Winter is our longest season and can last around 6 months. So it's cold most of the time but not all the time. 5: Canadians love hockey and know how to play it well, False, Hockey is Canadas most popular sport but I know lots of people in Canada that hate hockey and never watch it. If you're not a sports fan it is doubtful you will watch hockey. One of the best ratings a NHL game got was back in 1994 when the Vancouver canucks were in the finals and that had around 7 million people watching it, still that is only 1/5 of Canadas population. 6: Canadians eat poutine and drink maple syrup, Somehwhat true, poutine and maple syrup are delicious and lots of people eat it. We don't eat it all the time but it is popular.
