I live just North of Aberdeen and it’s a traditional fishing village called Inverallochy and all the words Billy said we use but there’s way more in fact the Fraserburgh version is nearly a different language 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@LuxFerre4242]

That can't be true. Bilgar doesn't have internet.

[@maureendavidson4635]

But there's Toonser, Torrier, and Tsheuchter yet to be accounted for. (Tcheuchter?)

Disclaimer! Dinae bring "flat bread rolls" if someone asks for someone butterys or you'll get it Head smashed in

How dare you

[@scoffedeee7381]

Batteries are heaven

[@maureendavidson4635]

Buttery is originally the Dundee name for these "buns". The Aberdeen word was rowie's. That's row as in how. Buttery was thought to be a more posh description. (something posh from Dundee!🤭)

[@grandad5881]

THE WAY HE SAYS BUTTERIES

[@Scotland9]

😂

[@f0fuchsia742]

You know that's a different language, right; it's Scots. It's even protected by the UK as a historical language alongside Gaelic and is taught as a second in Scotland.

[@ScottishRollo]

Great fun! And possibly more true of Doric as spoken in rural Aberdeenshire than Aberdeen City. You'll certainly hear "Aye Aye" more in the country. And "butteries" is often used instead of "rowies" out of the city.

[@mikaemd7691]

It's not necessary to learn all this if you're going to Scotland, Aberdeen we can speak English too

[@gingerdad127]

I lived in the Cairnlee/Cairn/Cairnside roads of Cults, and my brothers and I spoke Doric as little boys before we emigrated to Australia. Thank you for this video, brought back a flood of memories 😇🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hannahemilyross]

hi Billy!! 😀 i've been a fan of your videos for a while.. I was so excited to see you had covered Doric as I'm from Aberdeen myself. Too good! Thank you xxx

[@cameronbeattie3087]

Obviously well-researched but it’s just hilarious hearing you say the words 😂

[@Sssssssslf]

too funny! especially buttery

[@tharinkydink]

Keep up the good work Billy, this is quality.

[@TimeMeddler]

In Aberdeen they would actually say “bricks”, rather than “breeks”, which is more general Scottish rather than Aberdonian. Also, a buttery is actually just called a “roll”, or a “rowie” in Aberdeen, or an “Aberdeen roll” or “buttery” in other parts of Scotland. An ordinary roll is called a “softie”.

[@illianna2581]

Oooofttt these were hard to listen to as a Scottish person 😂

Hey Dude! I love Koreans and I think your exercise in describing the dialect of my mother's folk so well is friggin' amazing! Nice job! Now do Aberdonians describing Korean accents...yeah, crickets, right? Good job, and keep rockin' it!

[@ThePerksOfJess]

love this, quality content billy m8

[@TheColdHarshTruth]

‘Quine’ doesn’t come from ‘Queen’. It comes from the Norwegian word ‘Kvinne’ which means ‘Woman’. Another one that should be in the list is ‘Muckle Braw’ meaning ‘Very Good’. This comes from the Swedish ‘Mycket Bra’ which literally translates as ‘Very Good’. Scotland borrowed a lot of Scandinavian words and phrases during the Viking era through raids, fishing and trading.

[@jittle7144]

No way! Billy took my video suggestion from the livestream! great video man

[@danielrobertson9967]

Aye aye fit like Billy min. All these are spot on min.

[@zukowskid5274]

love ya work billy

[@lesmup2159]

Aberdonian by birth and upbringing here. It may interest you to know that "kwine" is derived from the Old English word "Queynt" which is indeed the root of the word "queen", but is also the root for another word. I'm going to let you guess what that one is. It has four letters.

[@cigh7445]

Heard a story about a schoolboy who was taken to a ski slope by his school, while trying to put on his ski boots he turns to his teacher and asks ,fit fit fits fit.

[@gandalfthegreyonline]

I’m half Scottish (Aberdonian) I wish I knew more Doric and have more of the accent my favourite place to go is to visit my family there, would choose that above any holiday (other than a one way ticket to middle earth)

[@mkruiz1964]

I used to live an hour north of Aberdeen just outside Fraserburgh “The Broch”. I wrote a check for some jeans I bought. The girl at the counter looked funny at me and said “You don’t sound like you’re from the Broch”. I told her I lived there. Then she said “I can’t understand anything they say”. 😂😂🎉

For the record a buttery is called a rowie . Only snobs call them butteries . Ok min

[@cameronbeattie3087]

No in the city it's Rowie and in the shire it's buttery

[@tacocatt6808]

Nah mate, that’s just in the city, in the shire you’ll no hear anyone call it a “rowie” In fact a lot of kids in the shire will not know what a rowie is but will know what a buttery is until they hear it some day lol

[@markmclennan5285]

It’s a rolly min

[@bnns1219]

Brilliant..

[@lonelyduck629]

I love being Doric watching this 😄

[@ineedvyvanse3493]

Yer breeks are fine 😂 he kinda sounded welsh when he said “butteries”. I’m not from the Aberdeen shire area but I use most or all of the same dialect. It’s just funny to hear someone not Scottish say it.

[@cigh7445]

The real Aberdeenshire accent is quite similar to Welsh ones

[@katie-pt9ix]

Billy coming from an Aberdonian, you’re man of the fucking year!

[@kernowforester811]

Went to Aberdeen uni in the 1980s. Aberdonian sounded like a cross between Scandinavian, Geordie and Pakistani urdu. Used to hear things like 'fit like, fa ya deein?' Means what like (how are you) how are you doing?

[@Scotland9]

Well done

[@williamreid7003]

Verry good lad . Most interesting / William Reid /Vancouver Canada

[@jimpenny8771]

Nae bad ava chiel! I'd jist like to say that dinnae is mair soothern. In Aberdeen itsel', they say dinna. If ye ging tae Montrose or even Stonehaven, mair fowk wid say dinnae. North o Aberdeen in the Broch and the Blue Toon it's ayewis dinna. In Aberdeen they say ah (all). Jist a few miles South, they say aw instead. As for butteries, maybe nowadays it's mair common , bit it eesed tae be rowies. They're nae flat bread rolls! They're mair like flat croissants if onything. They use a lot of butter or margarine between the layers. They're nae exactly heart friendly.

[@AVM707]

Well also if you wanna say another word for trousers you can say troosers. Buttries are also rowies so yeah

[@awesomehopanda6803]

Genius!

[@finlaythomson4372]

Awright there pal, am fae fife in scotland and ye should make a video of the words we say like sound=good fit=hot

[@catherineholden2415]

A butterie is usually called a rowie and in no way resembles a bread roll 😂 You even state it is like croissant, which it is deffinitely more similar too.

[@abzzeus]

Butteries aren't bread rolls, as in the mix 500g of flour, 275g of butter and 100g of lard - that's before you put more butter on them to eat (they have been called heart attack on a plate)

[@alexdingwall2965]

Cheers billy

[@kettlegameing4902]

hi Billy I live near there ps love you videos

[@vandamme6379]

Hey mate, I'm pretty sure Dundee dialect also falls under the category of Doric. North east n ah that Ken?

[@Sssssssslf]

nah no quite

[@yerdasellsavon2073]

Fit can mean to fit in place, foot, what or even healthy you’d understand fits fit by the context 😉

[@moreston4366]

my dad's family comes from Aberdeen, I like to imagine my ancestors spoke exactly how billy did in this video xD

[@leighirvine]

They definitely didn’t 😂

[@Tamara-hc6qs]

Well Done

[@penelopemayblm]

Hahaha, this is brilliant! Your accent is spot on!

[@Sssssssslf]

no it's not lmao!

[@leighirvine]

Eh no...😂

[@davidhendry414]

Have to argue the butteries... They are not just a flat bread roll. They are a bread roll tends to be made using butter prior to, or during, the cooking phase. You'll understand it better when looking at the moist or soft ones. You'll notice clumps of flour grabbing to the bottom of the roll. This is where the greasy butteryness of the bread has coagulated the flour of the working surface. Any rolls that are cooked a bit longer don't exhibit this same behaviour as the butter dries out and makes the roll harder and more crunchy. Butteries can't be so simply named and explained. They require a bit of fleshing out.

[@jeffirwin7862]

Methinks there is a relation of breeks to britches and breeches.

[@gottagift]

Nice work Billy. But i notice a quirk. When you say "i dinnea ken" your inflection seems as though your asking a question rather than making a statement. Ken should be spoken with a descending tone, not ascending(rising). You seem to be a bit of an expert on it, so this is just my opinion. My favorite word is Bonny. A singer named Van Morrison has a song called "Into The Mystic" with the line "Ere the bonny boat was won, into the mystic." and you of course, have given me a new understanding of the meaning of the word Bonny. Thanks

[@Motofanable]

scots does not have pitch accent, so why is this important?

[@ZinoJamel]

Fine

[@AdiMercury]

I thought that Dinnae Ken was used in all Scotland. it was also used in the TV series Outlander and they were definitely not Aberdonian Scots.

[@TheBigBoyBrian]

Its used along the east coast from Edinburgh through Fife, Dundee, Angus up to Aberdeen & Shire then you dinna hear it so much in Moray or Inverness

[@eringray3990]

i dinnae ken is also used in dundee, pretty close to aberdeen, "nah, i dinnae ken mate" is something commonly said

[@NJD_98]

It's also used in every other place in Scotland

[@eryndawson9744]

Aye aye billy. Round aboot Aberdeen people speak Doric. I live 1 hour away and we speak like that

[@b41jsm]

Depends on your age. My grand children don't a fraction of the old Scots words. They use Breeks in Dundee for sure.

[@ezio5631]

its pronounced more like bricks, " fars ma bricks at"

[@cxrrxptx4796]

I 100% agree. I live in Aberdeen and my friends and family pronounce them “Bricks” and another thing I’ve never heard anyone say is “butterys”

[@andym28]

Famous viking they used to call Hairy Breeks. Very common in edinburgh the word breeks.

[@cigh7445]

@@TheScunneredMan Yeah it's just standard English nowadays with Scots words thrown in, almost as if they were slang. Only old teuchters (and a minority of them at that) speak true Scots/Doric now.

Far did ye get those buttries? They are minging.

No just the nippy nats would consider you a traitor. I get called a traitor by them just because I call myself a Scottish Brit. Worked alongside many English people and they were all good people, we had a bit of banter but all in good jest.

I'm from Aberdeen and no one in my social circle speaks like this. I didn't even know what breeks was slang for and the other words. Then again, I'm not part of the indigenous population (Bangladeshi by descent) which kind of is excusable, I guess? Great video Billy!

[@hannah1067]
