"No Dramas ! / Righto " were new for me .... Thanks mate

[@HenriettaP]

Aussies hate drama!

[@elizabethscott7660]

A common response is, she's right mate

[@TP-fl9ul]

Omg i am in love with this accent and words

[@MsSheila54]

I have heard "no dramas" only once so far usually everyone says "no worries". A month ago up in Cairns someone told me "no worries mate, she'll be apples". I quite like that expression.

[@anaussie213]

Sheila F. No worries is just a standard polite reply. No dramas is for when someone is apologising for something profusely, like "I'm so sorry" "oh no dramas, all good".

[@MsSheila54]

Thank you for the explanation. My Aussie English is improving a lot since I started to watch the videos.

[@CleanSheet1191987]

I’m Aussie and pretty much, almost always, say “no worries, all good, no dramas”, obviously depending on the situation 😂. Just another one to throw in to the mix as well; if I’m going to ask someone if they are okay or would like some help, or even just out of genuine concern, I can be caught saying “Ya good?” Although it’s like a soft “ya”, almost like “y’eh”. For example; I’m currently in Moscow and the concierge in my hotel was struggling to move a whole bunch of suitcases through the door, so I said “ya good?” And then proceeded to help him. Of course, context and how it’s said plays a big part. Say it with genuine concern and it gets the meaning across. If you say it with sarcasm, it takes on a different meaning.

[@graemewilliams1308]

@@CleanSheet1191987 No no no ! To ask someone if they need help you say: "Mate, do you need a chop out "

[@CleanSheet1191987]

Graeme Williams lol I’ve never heard that one!

[@nellaroseeawon3581]

Love this so much. Now I can improve my Australian English. Thanks mate ❤️

[@jonnamaelinghon6785]

Thanks for this. Ive heard a lot of these words everyday from AU cx over the phone. The word I cant forger was Righto. I even end up asking one of my cx because I dont understand. 😂 lol. And she told me the way you say it. Thank you! Happy to found your channel.

[@asdfisaac]

I love and understand Australia more cuz of u Pete!!!

[@nicemexican87]

G'day mate! Thanks for this wonderful video. I love all your lessons on Australian pronunciation, mate! You're doin' a great job!!! and this is very helpful for me because I have heaps of Aussie friends down here in Mexico. Hugs from Mexico,, Pete!

[@Carlos-cx3vw]

2:18 when someone hit u "no dramas , it's ok , u are welcome"😂😂😂

[@luenthusiast]

Ton nom mdrrrrrrrrr😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@haych27]

How's it going? Is so true it's hilarious. I say no worries more than no drama - in my opinion & from international friends - these two words are quintessential Aussie English. Righto.

[@llynm9584]

This is really hard but I need to learn this, thank you mate.❤🇵🇭

[@maximaleffort]

Perfect lesson. Thx man.(USA). This video is an ace mate! Cheers!(Aussie)

[@ynaffit95]

Loved it. Very useful

[@lerinnorena9275]

thanks a lot for this video Pete !

[@intsfanatic]

Great videos mate! As a person from a country where "R" sounds pretty rough i find it quite tricky to pronounce "Nah, you´re alright mate", you think you´d be able to fit that into one of your lessons? Cheers.

[@edcwshek]

Can I say "g'day" at night and "mate" to a lady?

[@TheCilou6]

Aussie English then what would you say instead ?

[@TheCilou6]

Aussie English I'm a woman, so maybe one of those sweet names won't feel as patronising. Can I say "mate" to any man (even for instance on Tweeter or KZbin to someone I don't know personally ) Just in case I can, thank you mate. 😊

[@edcwshek]

Pete thank you so much for your answer.

[@TheCilou6]

Aussie English well done on the exemple. 😊

[@krowl13]

I'm a teacher and I call my primary school students "mate" if they are a boy or "hon" if they are a girl. Talking to my girl friends I use lots of words. I might call them mate, hon, love, chicky, girl, dude - basically anything if we are close! I think g'day is overrated! It is very common in some areas, but where I live we are more likely to say "hey" as a greeting. I don't know if I have every used "g'day" unless I was acting overly Aussie! (I'm from Central Queensland)

[@pingyi8881]

Thank you i love Aussie English finally

[@pingyi8881]

Yeah right!!

[@siyuandi3024]

Thanks Pete. Could you please talk about some chatting expressions on social media or SMS, for example I see friends use dunno a lot. What else are usually used during a conversation? It would be great if you could talk about some in your episode. Cheers mate!

[@AP-mz1iv]

I can understand all that you said, your prinunciation is clear , 👍👍👍👍

[@MsSheila54]

I love Australian beer especially Victoria Bitter (VB) but I have problems ordering beer in a Pub. In every state they call the glass sizes differently. I usually end up ordering a small glass and sometimes I am asked if I liked a Pony? That was in Melbourne. Are you a beer drinker and could explain how I could order more Aussie like? Funny when for the first time someone told me: Your turn to shout or it's your shout. Once they talked about one bloke and told me: He wouldn't shout if a shark bit him!

[@수조-h6v]

Pot, schooner, Pint, jug and pot is the smallest size

[@maccerch]

My english is improving here mate

[@vandirpereira8151]

[@昭和昭和-p3i]

[@hamed_finance]

G’day mate, how’s it goin! I have listened through this episode thoroughly and I had thought it was tough lesson. It was much easier for me with the way you teach, though. Thanks

[@qcbno1]

G’day. I am a Japanese have lived in Qld for half a year since 86 till 87 when WA used to be a home of America’s cup. Among 5 expressions 1,2&5 are very familiar to me. I have no problem to accept righto. “No drama” is the only one expression I have never heard.I use “no worries”

Singaporean here, and I've been used to saying 'skoin' on', more so, compared to 'how's it going?'. Probably more prevalent in Brissy?

[@henryzhu7158]

I really like your videos, mate. Could you talk about English names and how you normally say those some time. Thanks mate!

[@krowl13]

I say "no worries" all the time! Honestly, I only say righto when I am being sarcastic. e.g. when someone is telling a really exaggerated story I might say "righto, mate"

[@dianajoy7643]

I love no dramas! Can I use it when talking over the phone?

[@tuanhai214]

One time I was trying to buy something on gumtree but couldn't make it. The seller replied to me "no dramas!" and I thought he meant "don't play a scene, don't waste my time". Thanks so much for your explaination haha

[@joelmasamba6762]

No dramas my amazing teacher i would rather learn more from your videos coz I've been understanding a Lot otherwise when being in America i gotta have dramas understanding others thanks to you coz i came to France two weeks ago i do know that I'm gonna understand everybody whatever they speak whether it be American people i gotta actually get mate

[@susim4503]

My personal favourites 'no worries' and 'mate'. Don't forget Maaaaaate as in 'not sure that's a good idea'.

[@JohnHallett5846isaPrick]

Don't forget classic terms like "Arse Bandit" to describe an Aussie Rules Footballer and "Bunnings Premium Customer" to describe an Aussie Cricketer

[@oliverocket]

I lived in Australia two years and I was a bit careful when addressing other Australians as 'mates' Because once I saw an Aussie guy angrily yelling to this Asian guy on the street: You're not my mate! Don't call me mate! I reckon he was drunk and he was trying to make an statement like: you're not Oz, you aren't allowed to use our expressions! Obviously this was an isolated case and isn't the norm but planted a seed on my head :( but don't get me wrong I loved Australia and still want to come back one day :)

[@suemcdermott3482]

He was just a prick they live All around The World ya just cant get rid of them and other Aussie would have told him to pull his head in as we are pretty friendly bunch cheers mate LoL 😜😎😜

[@HenriettaP]

You should tell them to say “How’re they hangin?” 😂

[@justaksh]

G’day mate... how’s it goin? You’re too cute... great stuff! Righto... no dramas 😂 thanks so much! Cheers

[@annieraposon8071]

Very nice

[@manuelasanchez31]

One phrase that I heard a lot in Australia is “too easy”. Maybe they say it in other countries too, but I heard it for the first time in Straya 😝

[@graemewilliams1308]

It means "a piece of piss " see, simple really !

[@syedsaad1594]

Noice vid, m8. Cheers!!

[@YokoshimaSTAR]

Your eyes are as big as these cute filters on apps :) gorgeous!

[@aarongrisham9880]

"mate" can be used with shielas yeah?

[@camilagutierrez1191]

If this word doesn't exist in Aussie vernacular, it should: "loody", meaning ludicrous. The same could be applied to other words ending in "ous", such as "riddy" for "ridiculous", "dangey" for "dangerous", etc. Can we get "loody" to happen?

[@nikgeorgio]

"mate" is very widely used in essex-england as well, where you also can say it even to total strangers...same as "bruva" (brother)lol

[@faadlee]

Great video. What about some expressions of frustrations as holy crap or cactus etc

[@candylee2705]

Can I ask you if “mate” is refer to a female or male?or both? Thank you

[@tuanhai214]

"G'day (hey) mate, how's it going?" "Ta", "Have a good one!" are the phrases I use hundred of times every day working at the airport. When I explain "ta" means "thank you", some American find it helpful, some think I'm joking with them =.=!

[@honeybonbonnie]

Awwww.... Righto I heard it before several times. I didn’t know back then haha

[@TheCilou6]

Thank you for the video. I'm French and began watching your video to understand how Australian English differs from American English because of Australian actors in a show I love who have American accents on the show. When being both on a panel and been thanked by a fan they would answer "no worries" Now I know it's Australian 😊 (I'm waiting for the no dramas answer now) Cilou

[@TheCilou6]

Aussie English I'd kinda think a crocodile would definitely fall on the hell yes there's lots of dramas category than into the no dramas one 🐊 Cilou

[@88Nikoli]

I've never heard someone saying the plural or drama as in no dramas though Pete , it's always no drama mate at least wherever I've been around our beautiful land !

[@BelenCayanong]

Miss you SOOO MUCH Mate....🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺♥️♥️♥️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🙏🙏

[@carolmclauchlan1744]

Another one from Southern Australia is: 'No worries, David Murrays!"

[@sdrawkcabsisiht6319]

I say mate pretty much all the time, usually in conjunction with C***, nah but after watching and seeing everybody in the comments use it I'm hyper aware of using the word mate.

[@sajjadhussain-ng3kn]

Can we use mate for females as well??

[@HenriettaP]

No

[@milliexing8005]

Can ladies use mate?

[@ribbonmmae]

I’m Japanese girl I used to be live in Melbourne but I’ve never heard Gday mate. And my friend said we do not use that one.

[@HenriettaP]

Depends who you mix with.

[@Millss7]

Part two??

[@yuminoriega4950]

Anotha great one hea mate....lol,what about Cheers?????

[@melinabuchner3829]

Do people expect an answer after "how's it goin'?" - I'm always confused by that, because sometimes it's just a phrase, right? Thank you :) !

[@suemcdermott3482]

Melina buchner of course you do All good mate and she be right mate bring it back l love the way our older generation use to speak like you got cigger digger she'll be right mate pass me some dead horse darls priceless cheers mate LoL 😜😎😜

[@cleancyjanson8835]

In fact I usually use always these words really

[@ninzo3727]

How about the C word, can we say that? :)

[@carolmclauchlan1744]

Queensland has it's own lingo: 'All good' , 'I'm onto it' & 'Bloody beeyuoodiful day innit?!!'

[@graemewilliams1308]

Dads pies.

[@BeatricePetitdemange]

I tried to create my account in your postcast It's impossible! It doesn't accept my email address

[@robynmurray7421]

Women tend not to use the word 'mate' as often as men. Sometimes I use mate when talking to a child or a dog if I don't know their name, to be friendly or reassuring. (Say if there was a lost child, I would say 'Where's your mummy, mate?'). I would never call an elderly person mate, especially not an older woman. But I do use 'mate' sarcastically a lot. For instance if someone does something stupid in traffic, I might say to myself 'Good one mate'. Or if they were really stupid, just 'MATE!, or 'MAAAATE!' Mate can also be a not friendly warning: 'I wouldn't do that if I were you, mate.' Maybe you could do a video on how tone of voice affects the meaning of 'mate'.

[@Paul-cd1cc]

Mate is brit too, isn’t it?

[@RainbowFishSaysHello]

Word of warning: "righto" can often be patronising, like you're acknowledging what they've said but don't really agree. eg, "Mate, you should have seen it, it was THIS BIG!" "Yeah, righto." Also, much of the stuff in this video, especially "g'day" and "mate", is more male slang-used by women too, but not as frequently. In fact most of shortenings (arvo, servo, banga) I hear much more often from men. Understandable as it's presented by a man, but women have other phrases. I can't think of any (probably because I don't recognise it as slang, it's just stuff people say). But... yeah. If you have a lot of female Australian friends and haven't noticed these phrases so much, that might be why!

[@comet.ibnaaz3941]

[@robertblair8395]

Righto - if an Aussie looks you in the eye and says "righto mate" slowly, and clearly enunciating both t's, it's a threat/warning.

[@chenyan9973]

I have been in Brisbane for about 8years. I heared a lot of "G'day mate", but mostly from men. Seems it is not proper for female to say it. What do you reckon? Is there any greeting expression better for women to say?

[@HenriettaP]

I might say “Hi, how ya going?”

[@GreendragonDMX]

ive never heard anyone say righto 'righdo' its said said exactly as its spelt righto..if anything people go a touch softer on the T almost leaving it out
