American Reacts to the Liverpool Accent (Scouse)

[@chriswilliams8121]

I live in North Wales in the uk and last year i was admitted into Liverpool royal hospital pancreatic team due to my pancreas Necrotising due to a stuck gallstone i was there 8 months and i can honestly say the Scouse nurses and doctors and surgical teams were absolutely down to earth and friendly people you could meet they made me feel so welcome and cared for and always made me laugh when i was in a serious condition and if i could i would move to live in Liverpool permanently.

When you grow up here in the UK you are exposed to so many different accents and different terms of phrase that you soon learn to understand someone that has a very different accent to yourself. I often say it's like growing up automatically learning to be bilingual. My friend from the US watched a video in which was a person talking in a broad Scots accent. My friend said to me, "I can understand you but why can't I understand him". I had to tell my friend that accents change so much in just a small distance that for example, scousers talk totally different to mancs. So my friend then asked me if I could understand what the Scottish guy in the video he had been watching was saying. I said "of course I can". Here in the UK you don't realise, it's subconscious that growing up around so many different accents that vary so much from each other you are always learning as if you was learning a foreign language.

[@matthewwalker5430]

I know, right? I feel like most Brits have to learn so many different dialects, accents and words of our own is it any wonder we can't speak any other language? I went to school in the midlands and we regularly interchanged between slang from all over the country. I had to learn Cockney, Scouse, Manc, Welsh (slang, not the language), Yorkshire, Brummie, Black Country, etc and so on ... and they expected me to learn French as well? Pfft

Having worked in Liverpool for 40 years none of this was a surprise to me. However, I would just say that there are also variables within the Scouse accent itself dependant on which part of town you come from, and there are people with a much thicker accent than Rebeccas that can be very difficult to decipher at times. Another one to look out for is "Were you", which can often be replaced with "Woz youse". The funniest example of this was when I heard a young Indian or Pakistani girl say "Woz youse at de pitchers on Sasurday nite"?, (Were you at the movie theatre Saturday?) - funny because it was simply not what I expected at all.

[@cheman579]

In a lot of West Yorkshire we pronounce that similar, I say "wo yous" for "were you", so don't even put in the Z that the scousers do, and you'll hear it all over, from Bradford and Keighley to Leeds and Wakefield (where I'm from".

Yeah go East of Manchester into Yorkshire and it's pretty different again. Not only is there a difference between accents from North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and East Riding (East Yorkshire), there's also big differences within those counties. Like I live pretty east of West Yorkshire (Wakefield/Leeds) and everyone I know sounds completely different to someone from Bradford or Huddersfield (Halifax and Keighley too), to the point that I can always tell if someone is from there by how they speak, even though we're in the same county.

[@RileyELFuk]

It's worth noting that there's quite a variety amongst Scouse accents, and while you noted a sing-song element in the video examples, others can be very flat and nasal. Also some of those words/phrases aren't limited to Liverpool, but are used through Lancashire (note, Lancashire encompassed Liverpool and Manchester until boundary changes in the '70s).

There are also differences between the Liverpool accent within Liverpool and Merseyside itself. The accent in the north of Liverpool can be slightly different to the south of Liverpool.

The Scouse accent is named after a food recipe. Swedish Lapskojs and Norwegian Lapskaus is a stew, like scouse, while German Labskaus is a form of hash. However, lobscouse is also different from scouse, being a type of gruel. Nineteenth-century sailors made lobscouse by boiling salted meat, onions, and pepper, with ship's biscuit used to thicken the dish.

Scouse is a Welsh stew generally eaten by Liverpool dockers.

[@RosLanta]

It was originally a Scandinavian stew rather than Welsh

[@Penddraig7]

Exactly correct, those details are often told incorrectly by many people and sources. You also have terms like La and Dol which people associate with Scousers but actually come from North Wales. At the time of the industrial revolution and Liverpool becoming a key Dock there was a need to housing for the influx of workers that industry brought to Liverpool and it was the Welsh that came along and built most of the housing etc there was a massive Welsh population in Liverpool because of this and that’s essentially how the Scouse came to be and as the numbers increased and the Industry in Liverpool increased and therefore the need for housing increased, there wasn’t enough Welshmen to build so they brought in the Irish in droves to help and that’s where the hint of Irish comes into the Scouse but for the most part it was the Welsh and that’s where the Scouse name comes from, some incorrectly attribute it to the Vikings but it was the Welsh. Lobscouse/Lobscows being the term used in North Wales instead of Cawl for a stew. The Vikings brought Lapskaus to Northern Wales and it was a fish stew, the Welsh welshified it because fish stew wasn’t very Welsh and the replaced the fish with Lamb or Beef and it became Lobscouse and then when the North Walians moved to Liverpool to build Liverpool that’s how Lobscouse became a thing in Liverpool and where the term Scouse/Scouser comes from

[@Penddraig7]

[@stevefrost64]

Standard British accent is basically talking like The King

[@G0Lg0Th4N]

You just made me realise that it's now the King's English now and not the Queen's English. I don't know how I feel about that.

[@liverbot4854]

A small piece of information, the unusual “u” sound you hear in “cup” and “up” in Scouse and all northern accents actually used to be the standard all throughout England. So the words foot and cut would rhyme. The change started in southern England.

[@michaelrowlands855]

Love this as a Scouser, find this interesting to see the Americans reactions to our accent

[@obijon7283]

I am from Liverpool. My accent is a bit different as I am from Crosby which is near Lancashire.

[@SavageIntent]

I'd love to see you react to a Weegie accent (Glaswegian). My fave accent probably.

[@traceys8065]

He’d be lost 🤣🤣

[@SavageIntent]

@@traceys8065 that would make it more funny though! Drop him in at the deep end.

[@artemislogic5252]

id 100% be up for you learning the different accents in the uk& ireland

[@davidgray8863]

Th with a D sound, but Tyler, remember Americans change T to D in Water. Americans say WARDER instead of Water.... I'll have a glass of warder

[@classixuk]

As a Geordie living in Liverpool, I think you should do Geordie accent next! We even have our own regional pudding named Pease Pudding. I know you’re fascinated by our puddings!

[@G-LFC-85]

Geordie accent is me favourite (Scouser) what a city Newcastle is!

[@joannedwyer4755]

Tyler you would love it in a pub in liverpool aving a bevvy or a cheeky nandos in Liverpool city centre listening to all the scallys 😅😅 also scousers call their mates "lad" but i live about 20-30 mins from liverpool an im not a scouser but were i live we do refer to men as "lad". You should do more of these types of videos it's so funny listening to you.

[@nemo6686]

In Liverpool 'lad' is shortened to 'la', as in the regular greeting "Y'right la?" (and the band The La's).

[@seanyem]

Aye la, you been geggin in on me mar's convo with our kid again! Don't be givin us gip again.

[@carltaylor6452]

When she says "standard British English accent" I guess she's referring to received pronunciation (RP), ie BBC accent.

[@bieituns]

I think it means the Queen's English before Elizabeth died.

[@ratatat9790]

He's asking 'why even put 'British' in there?' if you're saying English right after it.

[@nightw4tchman]

10:35 I'm from not too far from Liverpool and I don't know only that one. Funniest moment of my life was watching Americans, who weren't prepared, hearing a Scouser for the first time.

[@robertaewing5468]

There is a Monkees song called Randy Scousse Git that they wrote after going to Liverpool

[@DetectiveAgent_DarkNut]

The Harry Potter accent you speak of is a watered down Cockney (East London). The "standard English British Accent" is actually RP (Reveivef Pronunciation, middle class). We also have a few Celt languages in use - Scot, Welsh, Irish and Cornish.

[@debbielough7754]

Lots of people are saying you should react to Geordie. Just to reassure you, most Geordies are bilingual, we speak English and Geordie... Pitmatic is the hardest accent to follow, I reckon - the accent from the coal fields of Durham and Northumberland. Even I have trouble with it occasionally, and I'm a Geordie (so I grew up less than 20 miles from said coal fields, and had family who spoke in Pitmatic). Interestingly though, I grew up calling trousers kecks as well. Though we used it more to refer to pants (as in underpants). And not to be confused with kets. Which are sweets. Obviously. (Though if you do react to a Geordie accent, don't use the same channel, because they don't cover Geordie, but durham, which is not the same thing.)

[@AnthonySinclair-Wellings]

So many different accents in Britain, but this did clearly show the Scouse. It is also a dish for that area.

[@pc99991]

Lots of variety within Merseyside too (region around Liverpool) across the water in Wirral you have a slightly different version of scouse and if you go far enough to the other end of Wirral some are speak standard British accent not even plain northern. All about socio economic backgrounds really.

[@kduxliverpool765]

Go head lad, nice one lar ❤

[@concerneddad5561]

Two places 1 mile apart can change so much in Liverpool. Eg Huyton and Prescot, the variation is astounding. You also change from a borderline scouser to a complete wool. Lol

[@GarnetDally]

As a Welshy, listening to this, i can really see the Welsh influence in the k’s (very much like the ch sound in Welsh) and t’s to r’s. Never noticed that before

[@JosephSeabourne]

“Standard British English” usually refers to RP (received pronunciation). Typically associated with the SouthEast, kinda thing you’d expect to hear on BBC News.

[@francisedward8713]

Fun fact: Liverpool is considered the most "unEnglish" city in England. 70% of the population have Irish ancestry, and a lot have Welsh too, because we are so close to the Welsh border.

[@bblair2627]

also Tyler have a look at "Harry Enfield - The Scousers " 🤣

[@seanyem]

Aye, calm down, calm down

[@robertwatford7425]

That was an excellent video and I enjoyed both it and your reaction to it :-) But I think there are dialects in the US that are just as difficult: Bronx, Deep South, Valley Girl, Jive. And most people are polite enough to tone it down when they talk to someone otside of their group.

[@christopherclement8252]

Think Beatles. Paul and John in particular, especially early days.

[@jasoncallow860]

Google the actress Jodie Comer who you may have seen in the movie "Free Guy" or tv show "killing eve". She is insanely good at accents and I was mind blown when I found out she is from merseyside and has a strong scouse accent

[@vjaska]

Three of the phrases are at least heard down here in the south, heard plenty of people native to Southern England use Bevy, Made Up & Kecks for example

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

People who live in Liverpool are Liverpudlians or Scousers. The most well-known example of people with Scouse accents is the Beatles, and especially Paul McCartney. Other accents you should check out in depth are Mancunian (Manchester), Geordie (Newcastle), and West Country (Somerset in particular).

[@BobAt101]

I am a Scouser and have been in Scotland over 20years and the other day I was told "you are a scouser" after they heard me speak, i still have a strong Scouse accent and as I was told as a kid , if yeh born a Scouser yeh always a Scouser.

[@jpjustscouse6031]

Omg finally waiting for some scouse stuff

[@mdx7460]

Look up actual conversations from a scouser to get a better feel of how it flows. I’m a scouser so it confuses me when I see comments on videos like ‘is this English’ or ‘i can’t understand a word’. Because to me it’s just the norm, but apparently not 😂

[@TerranSol]

The scouse accent is stronger on the welsh influence than the irish influence. They are literaly a step away from wales. Liverpool buffers up next to wales. You can here it very strongly in the 'K' sound, in Welsh 'Ll' makes the same sound. also the 'th' sounding like 'D' in welsh 'Dd' sounds similar to 'th'. A lot of the inflections are very similar to the Welsh inflections.

[@Brookspirit]

I'm from London, I had a friend from NZ and he was surprised i could tell the difference between East and West London.
