English Variations (Part 1)

UK, US, AU, MY
The same thing can be called different names in different countries, even if they are all speaking English! It is really amazing how different the words can be.
Watch us explore the names of 15 things really common in our lives, and argue about which is the "correct way" to call them. :P

Hey everyone! We started The Forking Tomatoes on a whim almost 2 years ago, and the channel is turning 2 this August! With that said, a big thank you very much to all our subscribers and viewers! AND SO, we'd like to try something a little different and do some Q&A video(s)! You could comment by replying to this post, send us a message on Facebook (The Forking Tomatoes), Instagram (@theforkingtomatoes) or Twitter (@forkingtomatoes) with questions you would like us to answer! You can target the questions at us individually (Ashley, Emma, Nelvin & Petra) or to the Forking Tomatoes as a group! We would record a video (or videos) to respond to them! We look forward to your questions!

elfarlaur I had a German exchange student my sophomore year. When I went to Germany she asked me what the English word for a “rubber” was. I naturally came to the conclusion that she meant a condom so I told her it was a condom lol. Later on we went to the mall and she got a pack of cool, bendy erasers and as soon as she bought them she started yelling that she “got new condoms” I quickly corrected her but it was hilarious.

As an Aussie/pom I can agree with this

[@titangames8482]

Why did I read that in Australian accent

[@jingapunda]

in Malaysia,we commonly use biscuit instead of cookies. we use cookies for famous amos and also christmas cookies. Brinjal derivated from India. Portugese influence. We commonly use Rubber instead of eraser. Now some Malaysians started to say Drug Store instead of pharmacy. we always say french fries. Chips is for the snack. most of Malaysian words are mixture and derivated from others( sanskrit, mandarin, tamil, portugese, british and indonesia). we also use combination of US and UK english. due to media influence.

[@toujingyi9156]

yeap, we do use biscuit more often than cookies, but due to influence of US entertainment in Malaysia, we do seemed to see influence from US in more recent time. Chips were specifically used only when referring to "Fish and Chips", otherwise I really had not heard of anyone referring to fries as "chips" outside of the context. Good thing about Malaysia is we have reasonable good exposure towards both British and American English and we were usually not confused by either term usage, but most Malaysians were not very well exposed to the Australian English for sure.

[@jingapunda]

agreed. somehow we Malaysian never get confused with terms. others can be confused with us! )) Ya, Aussie English is something new for us.I have been struggling to adopt to it. I wonder if there is any differences in Canadian English.

[@toujingyi9156]

I assumed that there must be some differences in term usage. Even within Malaysia, term usage of the same Chinese dialects varies from city to city.

[@jingapunda]

thats even happens in other dialects as well. Malay and Tamil also has dialects..some even mixed up with other language. The Tamilians from India also has difficulty in understanding Malaysian Tamil because ours are pretty different. language do evolve

peachi0 no actually the u.s is more proper technically the English that is spoke in the u.s was the English brits used until they changed it and use what they use now.

For people who assume that the Malaysian guy is copying everyone, I have to say: 1. As a Malaysian everything he said is commonly used in Malaysia 2. We were conquered by British Troops before, therefore sometimes our spellings and words are in British English . And because of social media and commercial influence we learn American English. So we can use both all the time. 3. If you come to Malaysia, or Singapore, you'd understand wtf am I saying. Cuz apparently you didn't do your research before commenting :D 4. Our national language is Malay, which some of the words are originally from English. Eg. Pensel-Pencil, beg-bag, operasi-operation. Next time, do your research :D

Malaysian English is closely related to British English. In fact, we use British English here in everything. This is due to the British colonisation of our country back then. However, the accent we use when conversing in English, especially given the speaker is fluent in the language, may somewhat similar to that of American accent. I myself use American accent when talking, but still retaining British English words

BRINJAL! A funny story. So the Portuguese, spanish etc taught us brinjal which they used to trade from the arabs, persians and indians (brinjal i mean). Brinjal is believed to have evolved originally from the subcontinent and/or persia. The word has evolved from india, persia etc to arab, portuguese and then to europe therein. It became brinjal like this...it was even different before that (vatingana in sanskrit, baingan in hindi, badinjan in persia etc and then somehow due to local pronounciation changed to al badinjan in arabic and then badinjan changed to beringela by the portuguese,spanish etc and later they changed it to brinjal mainly due to the portuguese, then egg plant by the europeans and british actually adopted aubergine. the name eggplant and brinjal got stuck in later trade and later years. Yep, how funny these things change over time eh! ........Meanwhile......... on similar time involved changes, local lingo dependant changes, , easy to use dependant changes etc that changes usage of words in different countries with time ...people here are fighting!!! unbelievable species. Good luck (either for fighting or for understanding how time , location, languages changes words. Ur pick...depending on if u are a stupid/wise human) Cheers.

Unfortunately, the differences of standards do make it difficult, in primary and secondary schools, we were expected to use British English, and hence we need to use British spellings. But in the Universities, usually we need to follow international standards, and hence the US English is used in all proper reports and assignments.

Technically, a Pharmacy and a Chemist are two different things. A pharmacy sells medicine and provides medical advice, a chemist creates/fulfills prescriptions (works with the drugs themselves). Most pharmacies have chemists within them, but it wouldn't be right to call a pharmacy a chemist if it *only* sold over the counter medicine. It's ok to say it the other way around though (eg., call a chemist a pharmacy)

[@joshuakim5751]

[@oeirjcmeoicn3riocn3nrc2q]

@@RaevnDB I'm a pharmacist and the use of the word chemist is completely wrong. I'm not saying it's not used, but I'm saying it's wrong. We are pharmacists and the shop/hospital department we work in is called a pharmacy. We dont sell other chemicals, we don't know about other fields of chemistry. We are not chemists. And a pharmacy legally has to have a pharmacist on the premises at all times while they are open. They teach us this at uni and we live it every day (no lunch breaks if you're the sole pharmacist, yay). At least in Victoria. I can't speak for other states, but i expect they would be similar.

Pharmacy 11.Oatmeal 12. Chips (it is hard for some Malaysian to properly pronounce 'crisps') 13.Sport shoes 14.Flour (but most people pronounce it as 'fla', some pronounce as 'flo' 15.Yeah in South Asia, it's commonly known as brinjal. "edit: I just remember back in school, I was taught as aubergine'' Here in Malaysia, we actually learned British English. That's why we spell neighbour, colour, flavour, sterilised, humanised. We call z as 'zed'. It makes sense tho, since we used to be a British colony, and part of the Commonwealth countries. Back in secondary school, my English teacher would be mad if I used American spelling, as for our examination, we will be marked by British standard. And even some colleges provide exams equivalent to Cambridge A-level. That being said, due to television and movies, some of us do use or more familliar with American English as they are more popular in Malaysia. Not many here watch Coronation Street for example, or BBC news. As far as in school, we are still being taught with British vocabularies, grammar and spelling. p/s : This is not a fact but merely my opinion regarding this matter. Feel free to disagree.
