I'm a Kiwi living in Australia. An Australian friend told me she was at Christchurch airport and was told she needed to go to the "chicken desk". She wondered why there would be a chicken at an airport. She finally realised it was the check-in desk!
You sure it wasn’t the chicken disc?
That's unusual a kiwi living in Australia.
@@keithdevine8281lol.. only 15% of their population living in Australia 😂
That's 15% too many.
Mate the sheeler doesn't have a strong Aussie accent,must be from Melbourne is my best guess
As an Aussie, I have heard much stronger Kiwi accents than the one here. Comparing a stronger Kiwi accent Vs Aussie accent would have been better.
Every accent is valid and there are differences between groups- the “strong” accent is usually a Maori community accent.
We can tell but this blokes got no idea.
Yea, sounds to me like she's had the southern Kiwi accent 'taught' out of her by an acting coach. Didn't pick up any rolled R sounds at all which you get in the small southern towns like Gore. I thought the Aussie girl wasn't being fully natural though. It felt a bit like she was trying to hard to pronounce things correctly. Maybe that's just how they are in Adelaide with their weird half time zone.
yes the kiwi here would have spent some time in Australia already
She has been in Australia a while so the differences have been blurred because she now has a blended accent.
Aussies take the piss out of kiwis over the ‘fish & chips’ … Ryan’s positive take on the kiwi accent was really positive.
I LOVE Fsh 'n' Chops !!!
@@Lizards_Loungefush n. Chups
6:08 Yes the lip thing! My Aussie husband says if you want to sound like a strong rural Aussie, speak with your lips close together like your trying to stop the flies getting in. 🤣🤣🤣
That's funny because we were always told that New Zealanders sounded like they're talking through their teeth. Lol
No offence to the Kiwis, I have some friends and relatives whom I love living in New Zealand. But as an Aussie I think some of you guys sound like you have frost bitten tongues some times. Especially when you say fish and chips.
@@user-mm4rz8mk3e yep they're trying to keep sheep fleece outta thir mouths 😂
“This is so subtle” … not if you’re listening to a Kiwi and you’re an Aussie…
It’s like we think there’s a subtle difference between northern US and Canadian accents.
Kiwis sound like they've all had minor strokes to us Australians.
The differences between Aus and nz accent is bigger than the US/ Canada difference. Canadian/Us difference is on specific words, whereas the NZ/Aus difference is obvious in any sentence
My father had a bizarre conversation with a kiwi who kept asking what sort of pits he had on his farm. My father kept saying there are no pits or pigs on the farm at all. Apparently, kiwi was trying to ask him about PETS, with the kiwi accent, it sounds like “pit” 😂🤦♀️
I had a long conversation with an educated Kiwi at a party in Sydney.
I could not understand one particular word and she didn’t know the equivalent Australian word.
It sounded like CHLBN. Eventually I asked her to spell it. Chilly Bin. A cooler.
The Australian equivalent is Esky, which is an Australian brand of cooler. Esky is based on Eskimo, and is an abbreviation in the Aussie tradition.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
didnt understand either word
Yes, it’s exactly like US v Canada. Kiwis always get confused with Aussies when they’re in America, UK etc. The differences are quite subtle but also quite obvious. Ryan, your attempt at “perfect” was perfect.
Strange related observation…people from the Falkland Islands have an almost identical accent to Australians. I don’t know why
New Zealand also has other Polynesian influences along with the Scots, English and Irish! And, Norfolk Island has a whole other unique accent due to isolation! 🤔
@@jenniferharrison8915Norfolk Islanders easily have the worst accent!
@@donna6592 Yes! 👍
I have listened to b the Falkland Island accent.. sounds strangly mostly Australian with a sprinkling of British
Quickest way to tell the difference, ask them to say “six”, if they say something that sounds more “sex” then they’re a kiwi.
😊😊😅 British - English - comedian
Michael McIntyre has a 'skit' on the Kiwi accent when travelling and staying in a New Zealand hotel...it's really funny because he (to emphasise the joke) really misunderstands the Kiwi offer of being woken at 'sex' (6)...or to make free use of the 'dick' (sundeck) -
I'm paraphrasing, as it's been ages since I last watched Michael McIntyre
...so please forgive any inaccuracies?!! 🤔😏🏴🇬🇧❤️🖖
@brigidsingleton1596 Oh, that would be funny to watch and even funnier seeing the dudes reaction.
It's on here, just look up his channel.
It's the Aussies that count five, sex, seven. It's like they were never taught to pronounce the letter "i" correctly.
Im from nz i really dont think we say sex it six like the word sick. Aussies pronounce the i like as in skin as skeeeeen. So to us they sound like theyre saying sex. They ssy checkin for chicken.. etc...
A friend went to New Zealand for a conference, and everytime someone called out to him he wondered why they were saying bull; eventually he worked out they were saying his name, which is Bill.
Lucky he didn't go to Seth Efrica.
No they were saying Bull lol as BS.
When I was in Australia they couldn't pick up my bitter and butter. Both sounded the same to them. Same letters So I will believe Bill and bull would sound the same.
hahaha, kiwi laughing out loud here.
Ryan As an Australian if I ask a Canadian "are you American" it can upset them. But if I say to an American "are you Canadian" they just laugh and say " no I'm American"
true, Canadians often get offended by this.
My kiwi hubby asked one of our (Aussie raised) kids to find him a pen the other day, he was perplexed when they went and grabbed him a pin from my sewing box.
Or when my (kiwi) dad used to tell us (Aussie born) kids it was time for “beard”. 🛌
When I was working in Perth the confused looks I got when asking for a pen, and asked what for? Lol
"dearie" for "dairy" always cracks me up. They both speak with rising inflections, ie their sentences go up in tone at the end not down. Neither sounds fancy to me and I have a neutral Australian accent.
Kiwi males only use a rising inflection when we're asking a question.
Telling a Kiwi and an Aussie apart when speaking is not unlike hearing the difference between a Canuk and a standard American, or between a German and a Swiss or a Castillian and a Catalan or a Kenyan speaking English from a South African doing so. It's not difficult.
Well put
Catalan is a different language, different words different grammar. A spanish person would not understand at all
@@Kaatevanderkolmbut if you were both speaking English would you have a similar accent?
@@Kaatevanderkolm Parlo tots dos i els trobo mútuament comprensible.
@@Kaatevanderkolm Swiss German is also different to High German. Mutually intelligible, but its really easy to tell the difference.
Watch some of Geoff Lindsey's videos. He IS an expert. He has one on NZ "Do New Zealand and Northern England have the same vowels?!" and an Australian one, "My favourite vowel: Oh NAUR explained!"
Lol ask them both to say “fish and chips” … kiwis say “fush and chups “
"How many of these would you like?" Answer, "sex."
Lol if you can't tell the difference before that you need to sit in the corner and eat crayons.
No one says fush and chups here
@@KialGreenwood However, ask for half a dozen and they'll give you sex.
The general Aussie accent and the general Kiwi accent are simular enough that for most travellers from either country that if they are alone in the company of the others they can almost automatically mimic the accent of the majority present with normal conversations. This is probably similar to how most Canadians especially from the larger Southern cities and Americans from the Northern border states can almost become indistinguishable in mixed company. Of course during prolonged conversations there will always be a couple of more of those slang words or phrases unique to each other's social culture that would expose the true nationality of the relatively new arrivals in country.
For an Aussie a standard test to expose a suspected Kiwi is to ask them to order some fish and chips or six beers. To an Aussie the kiwi response would probably sound more like "fush and chups" and "sex beers".
For an Aussie the general Kiwi accent does sound much like an Aussie accent but slightly moved to a general British accent. This generally applies to the Kiwis of European ancestry, the Maori English accent is somewhat different again, like the Australian Aboriginal English accent is generally somewhat different to the Aussies of European accent. New Zealand as with Australia also has many citizens and residents of Asian family backgrounds, and these can have a tremendously huge range of accents from a super broad Aussie or Kiwi accent to ones that makes you think they just stepped off the boat an hour or so ago. And surprisingly the amount of time, or years, or generations they have been in country is often not a reliable indicator of how broad their Aussie or Kiwi English accent might be.
If you asked most Aussies as strangers if they were a Kiwi in normal conversation they would probably assume that you thought they had a bit more cultured accent than most but were definitely not an upper-class Brit, which overall should not be considered as an insult but possibly a compliment. Of course if you asked that to a random spectator wearing a green and gold jersey at a Bledisloe Cup match you may well need to use the services of our Universal Public Health and Hospital system along with the free Ambulance service to get to intensive professional trauma care.
NZ has a few different accents as well, in general, there's the northern accent (super exaggerated kiwi sounds), the general (like in the video) and the southern (which almost sounds Scottish).
I remember watching an international tv show a few years back where they did a show in Dunedin and Invercargill - and had to subtitle the people they interviewed. For comparison, they were in czechia the following episode and didn't subtitle the people they interviewed.
It was difficult to hear the differences in this video compared to how you'd hear it in normal conversation. Its probably because the sentences were contrived to be read out focussing on single parameters, whereas in normal conversation the sentences would just flow.
As an Aussie, when in the US I was asked if I was a Kiwi, I often asked if they were Canadian. Americans didn't care but ask a Canadian if he was an American wow different response! I worked with a Kiwi girl from the bottom of the South Isl. couldn't understand much of what she said, she sounded very Scottish.
I agree. Kiwis have Scottish vowel accents. Anything to do with Invercargill and Dunedin?
I used to live with a girl from Dunedin in the South Island and once she’d had a few drinks, she was unintelligible.
My mums best friend when I was growing up was from invercargill, it's like a cheat sheet or a secret code to understanding all kiwi accents, I've never had a problem understanding any kiwi. (I'm Aussie)
@@paulsara9694 As a Kiwi I can tell you we sound nothing like the Scottish, couldn't be more different!
@@cadifan Do you spend any time down south like Dunedin and etc? That area was largely settled by Scots. It is well documented that the southern end of NZ has Scots in their accent.
Just ask a kiwi to say, “come sit on my deck” and you’ll soon find out the difference between aussie and kiwi pronunciations roflmao
Bahahaha!
🦆
There isn't much difference in the two accents but we recognise it easily it's like the US And Canadian accents to us it takes a Canadian or US reference in a sentence or context for us to recognise it basically the vowel pronunciations to listen out for is the key
7:32 Short ‘a’ difference is more noticeable in ‘apple’.
New Zealanders shift the vowels so ‘a’ sounds more like ‘e’.
I.e. ‘epple’ and ‘bleck’.
Aussies tend to tease New Zealanders by exaggerating the shifts.
It's the short vowels mainly.
Peck vs pack, number sux vs number six, bist vs best, etc
Ryan wrote the words to his own thumbnail. "Austalian."
That’s short for Aussie Italian hahahahahahahahaha
Cute, but took too long to get into the differences.
Australia and New Zealand treat each other like siblings. We're allowed to make fun of each other. But it's really only the Aussies and Kiwis that are allowed to do that. Aussies will do the same when it comes to people from the other states, Tassie (Tasmania) really cops it sometimes. I remember a tape my brother-in-law made of comedy routines. One of them was about The Miss Australia beauty pageant, amongst my favourite lines are. "She is wearing a dressless evening strap." and "Miss South Australia, a very good idea!"
I always ask if they are Canadian first instead of American, I don't want to offend the Canadians 😂😂
I usually ask where in North America are they from. That cover all bases.
It’s not hard to offend a Canadian 😂
NZ: Lits git their parents a prisint. Aussie: Lets get their parents a present.
NZ: Is the fesh with the cheps in the fredge? Aussie: Is the fish with the chips in the fridge?
New Zealanders swap the 'i' for the 'e', so sex has always sounded like six.
As an Aussie, I only notice the Kiwi accent on certain words. I think the South African accent is similar to Kiwi with certain words too. I was once waiting for a ship to arrive for me to return to England from Europe and I tracked down what I thought was a Kiwi accent (cause I was a little homesick and needed some down under comfort, lol) only to discover they were from South Africa. Was the first time I had heard a South African accent and I was super surprised.
I find that interesting because i always thought the south african accent that ive heard sometimes is the closest to an aussie accent
@@miche6563 As a Kiwi I wouldn't say the SA accent sounds anything like a NZ or Aussie accent in any way. It's more like a very over stressed English accent.
@@miche6563 I don’t understand how people draw this comparison. Australia and New Zealand accents sound nothing like SA accents. SA sound much more European.
@@donna6592 i dont think theyre the same, but i do think its the closest. I would say SA is closer to aussie accent than a european accent is close to the aussie accent. I would imagine if an south african moved to australia their accent would blend easier after years of living here. But im also guessing there are different versions of the SA accent, just like theres a range to the aussue accent.
The SA accent(s) are much, much broader and completely different. I assume you’re thinking of the Afrikaner accent in particular too. I don’t see how people confuse them.
This Kiwi doesn't have a very strong accent, so she's not a great example. The main difference is in the vowels. Kiwis lengthen the vowels that Aussies shorten, and vice versa.
Candice was being careful to enunciate her words properly when saying the sentences for comparison but when they were just speaking there was another big difference: Aussies often don’t finish their words even if they are not going to ad an o or ie; eg but becomes bu, proper becomes propu, it becomes i. With the ts at the ends of words, the tongue goes to the roof of the mouth to start the sound but doesn’t always get to finish it; or in Aussie: bu doesn’ always ge to finish i 😁
For years I taught junior primary school (you know, the age when kids are beginning to learn how reading, writing and maths - math, for Americans- works). Having a Kiwi kid in the class always makes it fun and more challenging, for instance: after drumming into the class the need to sound out their words, try explaining to the Kiwi kid why they can’t spell six s u x 😂😂😂
You’re right 👍 Aussie accent and Kiwi accent, just like Canadian and American accent. Very similar but not the same. Different indigenous cultures have a different affect with language accents
back in the day my mum had a kiwi boyfriend. My name is Ben. they used to call me bin and call the bin ben. go figure.
Wouldn’t the NZ bin be called bun?
Not always, maybe a different part of NZ???
@DeepThought9999 yeah now I'm saying it out loud you're right.
I worked for a large tech co years ago and had to field calls from the Asia-Pacific. I remember one Kiwi calling and saying "Bin" when I asked his name. I repeated "ok, thanks Bin". He was NOT happy and thought I was making fun of his accent. I just assumed he was a Kiwi of Asian heritage and thought he meant "Binh" (a Vietnamese name). Can see why he reacted though, looking back 😂
Aussies and Kiwis are like siblings: we can make fun of each other but, if someone else insulted one of us, the other would defend them.
Hence ANZACS...💚💛💚🖤🩶🖤
The kiwi sounds to me like she is saying "the bed epple turned bleck. " and "Lits git their parents a prisent".
You should watch the short cartoon “Beached Az”. It is an Aussie doing a very strong Kiwi accent. Or watch the Kiwi movie “Once Were Warriors”.
as an Aussie... as soon as a kiwi opens his / her mouth, its unmistakable
A Kiwi friend of mine went to a pet store and asked for pet mince and the salesperson said, you need the supermarket to get Peppermints lol. So true!
Happy new year to your family too & I hope your son’s first Christmas was everything his mother wanted it to be
When the Kiwi girl said we have an upward inflection at the end of a sentence, that's mainly a female accent. With men the inflection goes downward unless we're asking a question. The main difference between the Kiwi and Aussie accents is Kiwi's pronounce words correctly while Aussies strangle them. 😂
Most people outside of North America can't distinguish between Americans and Canadians when they speak.
its Chicks n Shiela's, i grew up near Ruakura, Hamilton, its very Dairy Land Central,
Kiwis have a very distinct sound.
I’m an Australian who has lived with a Kiwi for 36 years, I can tell you this young woman sounds more Aussie than a Kiwi.
Different when Kiwis say fish and chips!😂
My sister-in-law from El Salvador has been in Australia for over 30 years, and she still can't hear the difference between Aussies and Kiwis.
If an Aussie wants to sound like a kiwi.. the we swap vouls. "My dad got hit on the head with a bat, and now he's dead. Becomes "my ded got het en the hid with a bet end now he's did"
Nah that Aussie definitely has a unique accent - it has a bit of a kiwi twang to it, which would’ve made it more difficult for you to pick the differences. I can understand why she said she gets mistaken for a kiwi
Yep, I reckon they're super close friends that spend a bit of time together and so some cross contamination to their accents, both of them.
She’s from Adelaide in South Australia - they sound like Kiwi’s and English - even to Australians.
@@donna6592 The Aussie girl sounds hard core Aussie to my Kiwi ears.
@@cadifan nah, she’s nothing compared to someone from regional Victoria or rural New South Wales.
@@donna6592 Where's Sophie Monk from, she has the strongest Aussie accent I've ever heard.
Australians will say Check in desk.
New Zealanders will say Chicken disk 🐥
Chicken disk....
The Australian woman had a South Australian accent so her vowels sounds differ from standard Australian especially in long vowels a and I.
Easy Aussies don't tamper with sheep
If a Kiwi has been in your fridge there will be lovebites on the lamb roast. 😎
🤣🤣
She is actually putting a lot of forced effort into sounding Australian. Which is making her sound to us, like she is partially a New Zealander.
I solved this issue with work colleagues in London who accused myself and a Kiwi of sounding the same, so when he wnet to lunch I gave them a note for him to read when he returned to work. The note reads " I would like a buy 6 really big pieces of fish with a really big serving of crispy chips please" everyone could understood the difference at once.
As you said Ryan, it's like Canada and America. We can't tell the difference, but I'll bet you hate being asked if you're Canadian. We're the same with New Zealand. Never ever, ever call an Aussie a Kiwi. It's not taken well. 😂
Other way around. Don’t mistake a kiwi as being Australian, it only ends in tears and tantrums from the kiwi.
On my last US trip, many of the midwesternrs I ran into thought I was a Kiwi……..that’s an insult most Aussies won’t tolerate. Blame the “Lord of the Rings” becuase these Yanks thought all south was NZ. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
To an aussie the kiwi accent sounds very different. Can tell a kiwi even after they lived here 20 years or more.
forget this video it's just confusing you.
you already know what a strong aussie accent sounds like eg steve irwin.
now go and watch beached az its a series of short cartoons made in australia by some kiwis that takes the piss out of the strong kiwi accent. once you've heard the difference in the strong accents you'll pick up the difference even if it's subtle.
an aussie can still detect the slightest kiwi accent even if they've been living in aus for decades.
There are many Australian accents, you can sometimes pick actual suburbs if you know the noises.
The are regional New Zealand accents too.
That Kiwi accent is super subtle, it can get so thick that it can be as hard as Glaswegian t understand.
Just shuffle all the vowels.
To do a kiwi is a bit like pig Latin (pug Litun) but instead it's sheep Latin😉
Kia Ora cuzzes.👍
Watch out Ryan you are sounding like an Aussie!
A South Island Kiwi has a very different accent to a North Island Kiwi and Auckland in particular. To Kiwi ears the Aussie speaks with a much flatter 'a' and the Kiwi uses shorter vowels. Both countries are very much influenced by their indigenous peoples. The Aussie girl has a milder accent than a lot of Aussies.
Former NZ Prime Minister John Key has an accent that is more noticeably different from Australian accents than the Kiwi accent in this video. You can find videos of him on UA-cam.
A Kiwi once told me that to them, Aussies sound like they are saying ‘feesh and cheeps’. He said we stretch out our vowels.
This explains why Kiwis sound as if they are swallowing their vowels.
Ryan you can't tell the difference between a British and Australian accent. 😄 Your attempt at an Australian accent, for example, sounds totally British. OK, New Zealanders mostly pronounce "Eś' as "I ', and vice versa. These girls are giving the complicated lesson in the accents. Like it, is et in Kiwi. Prisint, and present. Fesh and cheps compared to fish and chips. As the girls are saying. So as I said, mostly ę and I and the difference. And yes us Aussies always mock kiwis for saying six as sex. 😁
Ps. Not subtle, we pick a Kiwi pretty quick.
That's funny, we know it's actually the Aussies that pronounce "I" as an "e" and count five, sex, seven, and eat feesh and cheeps.
Actually she does sound more like a New Zealander to me. I have known lots of Australians and New Zealanders over the years (often met when traveling around Asia), so that helped quite a bit, just like distinguishing a South African accent in the lot. But I can also tell a Canadian accent from an American one immediately even though many Americans have told me they can't tell the difference.
Anyway, this is all beside the point. I have held people's luggage in my apartment in Paris a number of times over the years (free! it was never a source of revenue.) while they traveled around Europe on those 6-month trips that Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans take in their young adulthood. One woman from New Zealand told me the main way to identify Australains and New Zealanders. "In New Zealand, we won't drink a beer before 11:00 but the Australians think that 9:00 am is fine."
You were right Ryan.. the new Zealand accent ...does sound more British
This person in the vid reminds me of the hosts on Romper Room and how they talk to the children...and I can't help being reminded of the playschool skit on fast forward. Oh yes it is true, that Kiwis don't like Australia, there is a rivalry.....some kiwis take it too far and can be horrible to Australians.
Agree. NZers are perfectly balanced with a chip on each shoulder.
Australian accent is much harsher & louder than us Kiwis as most of us also learn to speak Māori language from a young age.
Eastern seaboard accent is harsh and loud . SA accent less so.
@@frogmouth SA sound English.
As a Kiwi, I get Americans asking if I'm an Aussie all the time UNTIL they hear me talking with or to an Australian and then they're like ohhhhh! There is a difference.
Also as a kiwi, and I am sure Aussies are the same with us, you hear that Aussie accent and you can pick it a mile away
As a kiwi if they want 6 fish and chips and you will know immediately if they are Australian or kiwi 😂
The Aussie was from Adelaide which means her accent is a bit different from the rest of Aus as there's more German underlying their accent. If both accents had been broader you would have really heard a difference!
You can also tell the difference by the words we use.
Have a look at How to Dad videos and you'll hear a better NZ accent.
The Australian accent and Kiwi accent are very similar only some subtle differences particularly if you’re from Adelaide.
I’m from Adelaide and lived in NSW for a few years and was constantly asked if I was from New Zealand. Somehow our accents are more similar than people from other states of Australia.
This was hilarious to watch 😂 even your facial expressions and comments 😅 though probably best to listen to two others comparisons 😅
The Aussie girl has a slight Kiwi accent. Probably from hanging around her friend. They were pretty close, even to me.
Aussie girl is from Adelaide, they have weird Kiwi/ English kinda accents.
@@donna6592 We just pronounce our words correctly.
I have been to Indianapolis 10 times over the years, and one time, we were coming back from a road trip to Chattanooga, and stopped at an antiques store next to a civil war cemetery in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I mentioned to the shop keeper that we had just been to Chattanooga, and had not heard many people talk with the real southern accent like he had. He leaned on the counter and said that in the last 10 or 20 years, a lot of outsiders had moved into the area. I said, you mean Yankees ?, and he said yeah, damn Yankees. I thought that was very funny.
Something I noticed when traveling overseas Canadians like to wear a Canadian flag badge or pin because they don't like to be mixed up with people from the US, I was told that by several people I met. I guess it would be like me originally from England being asked what part of Ireland are you from. Not that I have anything against the Irish.
A really thick Kewi accent is clearly different.
Fish and chips sounds like fush and chups, & now they just did it on the video
Is this lady a kindergarten teacher? ?
Ask a Kiwi to say " six"
or 'deck'
As a Kiwi it’s 90% the same.
We and the Aussies can for the most part hear the differences between each other, but for folks not from Oz or Nz, it just sounds the same ☺️
lol I always have a laugh when I watch you Ryan 😂
Main difference is the vowels. Kiwis pronounce “i’s” like “e’s” and vice versa. They also soften other vowels.
Fish becomes fush and chips becomes chups.
Six is sex and sex is sux.
Like Canadians say “a boat” instead of “about”.
Oh man,the last video opened up a viscous onslaught. Lol😂
My American girlfriend who has lived in NZ for 17 years, still can't tell the difference between the 2 accents.
But every Aussie and Kiwi can pick it from a mile.
17:52 watch a tv news presenter from a NZ news cast and watch a Australian news caster you should be able to hear the difference
I am a Kiwi but have lived in OZ for over 30 years and when I go back home to NZ I can really tell the difference now
For me I think living in OZ for so long I sound half half people here know I am a Kiwi but when I go back home they ask if I am Australian !Also my kiwi accent seems to come out /come back once I am pissed (as in drunk) :)
watch Fat pizza there is Australian, New Zealand & Greek etc. it's an Aussie TV show where rebel Wilson started.
Huge difference in how we speak
Quite a fan of Ms. Moll. She gives off very strong Play School vibes, but for adults. Ryan, might want to check out the TV show Playschool.
My most Intense kiwi/aussie Interaction, went to NZ, went for a jog around the port one morning. My standard greeting to the dock workers was "morn'n mate", invariably responded with an "ay Bru!". Both so stereotypical. Kiwis n aussies both use mate n bru, but the one you reach to first is pretty telling.
Kiwis and the Australians take the piss out of each other all the time.
You can pick a broad NZ accent more easily. The letters "i" and "e" are most distinctive. NZ was settled by Scottish people so they have a very mild bastardised Scottish accent. But it is very distinctive.
A Kiwi accent is significantly different to an Aussie accent. We pronounce our vowels so they're dead flat, whereas Kiwis bend their vowels a bit. Like we say Fish & Chips, but Kiwis say "Fush & Chups". We say "Yes', Kiwis say "Yis". Ironically, Kiwis say accent as "eccent" too. It's similar to our accent, but it's still quite a bit different...
To us kiwis, when Australians say 6 (six) as in six pack it sounds like they’re saying sex (sex pack)
Yes! Yes! Yes! Absolutely.
Hey ryan kiwi living in oz here.. the easiest way to explain is that a kiwi i and e sound reversed to the aussies.. there is constant teasing about certain words between us..like six vs sex and fish vs fush friendly sibling rivalry
As a Kiwi, the Aussie woman sounds very much like a Kiwi. She doesn't have a strong Aussie accent. When you hear a strong Aussie accent you can trip over it.
New Zealanders invention, Velcro Gloves 🧤. 😎
OMG I couldn't stop laughing when you were trying the kiwi accent! It was great!!! Can you please do more copying kiwi accents??? It's soo pleasing when an American gets it so close and makes me realise just how different our accents are lol.
Story: In my 20s I was working in a hostel that had verandas in southern France, on reception. I noticed that the kids here booking in would be looking at me strange or look embarrassed after I directed them to their rooms. Well, one day the British manager and his son heard me talking to a customer and after she left slightly red-faced to her room, they started grimacing and laughed: 'You told her to go right and up to the first deck!!!.....In your accent do yo uknow what it sounded like? Dick!!' I did my best to modify my accent after that lol.
We love our kiwi cousins
Btw, why do kiwi horses run so fast?
They seen what happened to the sheep
❤
A minute in, and im already 100% sure she is from New Zealand 😊
I really enjoyed this episode. I have always had a problem when travelling for being mistaken for a kiwi, then English, even South African! I have to remind people that there’s a country called Australia and the usual reply is “ you don’t sound Australian “. I even get it here in Oz!!
Are you from South Australia?
@@donna6592 no NSW 😀
Apparently I don’t say Sydney like an Aussie… who knew??
@@Jaxson2-vk7so lol.. that’s a bit unusual. NSW has a good Aussie accent.
Being in Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics was interesting. I don't remember anyone picked my Australian accent first off, ever - Except all the backpacker Aussies that were working in Whistler!
You nailed it with present Ryan
I definitely noticed how much more harsh or twangy the Aussie accent was in Sydney compared to Perth
I've worked with and have lots of Kiwi friends, and i can't hear Kiwi in Morgan. She sounds like an aussie to me...
Love getting Kiwi's to say something that has six & deck in it.
They're always unimpressed.
