Some of these slangs I haven’t even heard before, yet i live in nz 😂
Some of them are quite old fashioned yeah. Like stuff your parents or grandparents would use
some i have heard but don't use.
yeah same im in auklaland
me too
81. "Mozzie" - a Maori that has emigrated to Australia or a 2nd + generation Maori born in Australia
"Remuera Tractor" From Remuera -an expensive Auckland suburb. A big expensive 4x4 vehicle (like a Porsche or BMW) that will probably never be driven offroad
"Sole Trolley"- from samoan Sole (sol-ley) meaning young man or friend- An old inexpensive "people mover" van that has many seats for transporting large groups or families
I’ve always used bung as in ‘bung it in there’ or ‘throw’ it in there. Definitely the most comprehensive list I’ve seen, ka pai!
second part great too full chockablock brain now , ey ?! you 're so great hugs from Switzerland !!
I LOVE this - so many good ones. I especially enjoyed realising that we use pie as a unit of measurement 😂
a lot of these have great rings to northern english slang. i know for a fact some wouldn’t be used in the south but are common up here
Very educational and entertaining! Both parts are great. Looking forward to a part 3. Ka Pai, Rosie! 😊
Excellent! thank you a bunch!
love your video. keep it up.
Lovely! Good job
LOL! Totally crack up. Love your channel.
Chur: sweet as, good.
Too much video hardout enjoyed it....solid alright 😂😂😂
This vid is GOLD ! (btw, I love the way you pronounce your B in N-Z) When I'll come to visit New-Zeland this one will help me ! =)
'Ropable' is very favourite NZ word - such a vivid image!
I am definitely using some of these as much as possible especially ra ra ra...
Ka pai Rosie.
.you craaack me up "kare" (endearment)
Oh the bring a plate made me laugh, at one event we had someone from overseas actually bring a dinner plate xD It was hilarious
I actually did bring a plate on the first birthday party I was invited here. Embarrassing but it cracked us all up.
Great job! And I love the See Ya See Ya later song. I teach the kids that song in Taiwan.
Just came across this. What a crack up😂you’re a hardcase alright lol ❤ your mahi chur!
its funny because me and my friend have incorporated kiwi slang, japanese and internet terminology and created our own language. it's amazing.
So good twoturial I like it
All these slang words so very true
Thank u!
Ra-ra-ra is my fav! Thanks! lol !
A ton of these are also said in the US!! Cool how slang travels.
Northland's Finest. Something that was introduced to me by Munter and Van on Outrageous Fortune. I think it was crayfish, but I use it for something or someone who is from Northland and is awesome at what they do. My current use of Northland's Finest is All Black from Northland, Jack Goodhue.
Far out we love abbreviating words.
To the days, made me laugh out loud for real lol!! What about Chur, Nek Minute or "it smells like arse"😂😂 love your vidz!!! I miss home, your vidz make me feel proud to be kiwi. Shot bro😝😝
Not most, but a LOT of these (on the first vid too) are used quite commonly here in the States, too...including fortnight. ;) Super fun to learn a lot that I didn't know, though.
LOL, You never know how unique everyday slang is until someone makes a list or two, thanks for that NEF
I would say 90% of these Kiwi slang words, Aussies use as well :-)
Hold up! Number 44 "onto it" is NZ thing! but I can't imagine life without it!
I would have killed to have that a few years ago haha!
New subscriber and friends here from the Philippines.. I'm planning to work there in new Zealand as a civil engineer. Hopefully I will get a job soon ☺️😇.
The funny thing about the NZ accent is when you say "All hands on deck".
Terry Dawson or anything about the “deck”
I use most of them haven’t heard of some though
Nigel no mates. Haven't heard that for years. 🤣
Hi Rosie, I have just watched part 1 and I am a bit surprised that I didn't know all the NZ slang. I live in Australia, have been to New Zealand five times and even have relatives from New Zealand. These videos have been a real education for me. Thanks for sharing. Here in Australia a "tinny" is just a can of beer. You mentioned mosquitoes. Where exactly are all the mosquitoes in New Zealand? On all the trips that I took over there, I have never encountered any mosquitoes at all. Here is one phrase from here in Australia that you may not know. If a person is very well off financially, they are "riding on a pig's back". Anyway, take care. Robert. PS: Just of interest, my mum was born in New Zealand and her name was also Rose.
There can be quite a few mosquitoes here during summer depending on where you are.
@@michaelverissimo2666 That's interesting to know. Thanks for the info. I wasn't even aware that there were any mosquitoes in New Zealand. Of course, I have never been there in the summer and that is more likely why I never encountered any there.
Thank you very much Ma'am. This video is very helpful for many people. Thanks for the part 1 and part 2. God bless....
RAhh Rahh Rahh.. Awesome! I m from Argentina. Thanks!
Haaahahahahaa number 49 was a crack up you should ov said spotts for number 50 hahaha
I just brought a 4 litre gas guzzler. 🤣🤦♀️ A week in and I'm realizing just how much fuel a straight 5 Ford Falcon really does use! 😱🤣
Oh Oh Oh hablan muy rápido, pero me parece que entender un NZ te facilita muchísimo entender el resto de pronunciaciones del inglés de otras latitudes.
i know alotta peoples from OZ and NZ really really really don't want to hear this but a hell of alot of this vocabulary is identical to british vocabulary. canadians, on the other hand, would have no problem at all acknowledging how much of their vocabulary is british because that at the very least means no one is mistaking it for american.
The whole world is heavily influenced by American culture and by American products and ingenuity. You would think we must have all the smart people until you watch American politics and then you see how stupid and violent we are.
I'm from NZ
My friend Jane often called people "rat bag"
Forgot how much slang there is in the Kiwi Vocab, I'll give this Video an "O" for owsum. I haven't heard some of these phrases in "Donkey's Years"
You missed the best one "Sup Gee" - Hi
1:44 i yelled, that’s so unfortunate.
i was definitely not expecting that one, out of all of them haha
Lots of those words we don't say no more in Aotearoa
i’m from nz and honestly i haven’t even heard the large majority of these before.
Great video. Loved that you had the words on the screen for this one - it was much easier to follow.
Most of these words we use in the Midwest USA
Don’t forget Box of birds & lunchon sausage ( Aussie’s call it Devon ) ( Yanks call it baloney ) do they have it in France.😆
It's hilarious.
Some of those I had no idea other countries don't use them cause I've heard them so often 😅😆
P.s whatta bout G as in "yo G" like a good friend. Do other countries use that
Sausage Sizzle is bread with sausage
Yozaa
A lot of these are Australian and from all over the world
Yurrrr, tinny. Also you forgot slangs that us Māori people say.
yeah ae..and we have the best one's
tinny is also reffered to as being lucky
Gee I feel that some of those words people dont even say maybe in wellington but not in auckland idek chur
Yo I'm nz we use most of these some not so much
I like the smell of gasoline in the morning
I’m soo sad, I moved from NZ to Aussie just 2 years ago, having been born there and lived there but I have already lost my accent 😭 and it’s sucky
Haha your an ozzie now lol...
Gee I moved to Taiwan and I’m teaching the kids “American” English here. Now I speak half way between Kiwi and American accent...
Thought a tea was a snack between major meals?
Cheers matey, she's a beaut. Chur bra
Thanks friend, well done. Thanks friend.
I am living in New Zealand
oh my god... hahahahaha
Ra ra ra 😂😂😂
churr xD
“ yo g, got any tinnys mbro?”
some of these aren't even new zealand slang they are just Maori words
Chanel Cribb Yeah hard
Slang just means street language - the maori words she mentioned are fully just part of kiwi day-to-day convo
@Dresden Black I find it hard to believe that any Maori language is ever used in the US
@Moon Glow ahahaha
it would come under 'Phrases'.
Ka Pai
I ate fairy bread religiously as a kid 😂
Hey thanks for your informative video.....hmmm....no wonder kiwis are called cousins of the poms boring farts......couldnt come up with a better slang than sparrow's fart, could have been sparrow's chirping but nah, had to bring up fart....lol....wonder what made a kiwi think of a fart when the sparrows were chirping in the early morning...lol
There was one person whose last name was "Neggers" and now I REALLY want to hear a Kiwi say it
I wanna know if you really are from New Zealand, I'm from Mexico and I want to learn the accent
I am a kiwe
Try say it today whakamaua Kia teina
I know most of them from watching Shortland STreet
I’m from Australia and I say almost every one lol
But honestly so much respect
A few of these are the same as in the US.
Not Even French Back in the day, bust a gut, shit a brick, stoked, feral, mongrel, hacked off, random, the man, cheesy, spud, vwggies, softie, good as gold and gas guzzler. Jack up is used but as telling someone they screwed up. ie you jacked that up. I'd love to go to New Zealand some time. Are all the Kiwi ladies as lovely as you?
You might not. Plenty of people do.
B-Ruh... why do you have a slang word for a bottle of hot water?
