Sorry, I forgot to say, it was so lovely to hear some actual phrases that we Aussies use! Usually, you get the silly g'day, fair dinkum, servo stuff.. this is all stuff I say, and honestly, some I didn't realise were Aussie specific! Thankyou! ❤😊

[@ujalachaudhry]

You are blessed with a MAGICAL SMILE...

[@candicemoll8386]

You're sweet. Thank you!

[@bennysim9092]

great content and you're a good smiler! Very rarely do I see youtubers with great smile. Made my day.

Aww thanks mate! So glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!

I'm from the US and some of those phrases are actually used here. Like crack me up, give it a go (& variations), it's a bit tricky, also I feel like I've heard midday somewhere along the line. At the study abroad fair, I heard an Australian person say "you reckon?" for the first time somehow I knew exactly what they meant. Also I've heard an Australian youtuber tell her significant other "stuff you!" when she was mad. As you mentioned at the beginning I have also heard people in the UK use these phrases. It's interesting to hear about all the different slang that's used in different countries.

[@candicemoll8386]

Slang is so much fun :p

[@daisychadwick9654]

Thank you I’m English and in England we use most of these phrases

[@swapnilshrestha4620]

I loved your "hihieee"

[@candicemoll8386]

Haha! Thanks :p

[@2manyinterests2count]

Got some of these in the South! 'Back burner' very common. Meaning to keep it 'alive' but hold it for now... come back to it later. Don't want to forget it, but do it at a later time. Cool video! thank you!

[@perthhometv8562]

Love you..best so far...important ones and to the point..

[@Steve21945]

Stuffed also means tired, exhausted or worn out, and it also can mean you’ve eaten too much (“I’m stuffed (as) full as a goog”). (Melbourne).

@@candicemoll8386 I´m a Filipino learning the "Estralian accent" :) I think it´s a cool accent. I have cousins in Australia. I´m thinking of surprising them one day with me talking with the aussi accent. . Keep up the good work!

[@bradstein8776]

You are the best, Candice!!!!!! This dialect is tripping me up a little bit. I'm playing an Australian surfer in a small scene of a movie, but this is very challenging, since I've worked for several several years on Irish and English. Any other suggestions or ideas? Thank you 😊 💓

[@Pritam77777]

Hi Candice thank you for uploading the new video after so long! Great content & amazing tips. Just wanted to ask something if you could make a video about rhythm, intonation, pitch and melody of the accent (I'm not sure if it's called melody :p) Waiting for your next video! Cheers mate! And thankyou so much for putting out this content. Love & peace. ✌🏻

[@candicemoll8386]

Hi! Thanks for watching! It IS called the melody of the accent! I'll have a think about this and see if I can figure out a good way to explain it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@inokiciw5169]

My favorite Australian slang is "Gday, mate!" I know it from my idol Bangchan and Felix. They're Aussie boi 🤙🏻

[@Tanzadog1]

"G'day mate!" (with the apostrophe) is more a contraction of good day mate, than slang

[@candicemoll8386]

I'm seeing a lot of comments about Chan and Felix, I might have to start watching them!

3:00 "puffed" is still common.

[@PaulieDC]

Interesting with Crack: crack me up we use all the time. But Cracked it means I figured it out. And have a crack we normally don’t use. Some earthy types might take that literally and smoke crack! Not sure what drug that is (I’m so clean I squeak) but it’s popular evidently.

[@carriel2731]

You cracked me up, mate!

[@candicemoll8386]

Aaaaahhh! GREAT use of 'cracked me up'! Haha! And thanks!

Thank You for this! I can finally make the dialogue for my comic ive been working, idk if it fit but ill give it a crack ;b

Cracking myself up is my life. Once I spoke with myself and started to laugh out loud.😹😹😹 I don't remember the joke I made, but it was super fun for me. Love to speak with smart people.😹

[@candicemoll8386]

Hahaha! Yes. Speaking to yourself is definitely a sign of high intelligence :p

[@meSNakeIce]

@@candicemoll8386 I've heard that swears too.😹😹😹

[@MultiPiddles]

Some of the slang words I picked up from watching Home and Away were not used in this video such as Ambie - slang for Ambulance and G'day but my family in Sydnay said nobody says Gday anymore

[@shegocrazy]

Nobody says g'day? I call BS on that one. I hear it every day.

[@SiilanPies]

For reference (as an Aussie I kinda forgot) "cracked it" is usually used as in "cracked the shits". My mother would always crack the shits at my younger brothers when they were misbehaving.

[@katecoble1568]

In cowboy movies & tv shows, what Aussies call midday, they would call "high noon", especially when challenging each other to a showdown (a gunfight).

[@Heldan]

Hi Candice, what about "give it a burl"?

[@candicemoll8386]

I THINK this one exists, but I would sooner say 'give it a whirl'. It could be that this is more of a regional slang term and I'm from a different state. :-)

[@ThEMath0ss]

You are very nice and lovely, thanks, and keep it up!

[@edwardamosbrandwein3583]

Fortnight = fourteen nights

[@Flair258]

how to people not know what “Its a bit tricky” is? Its basically saying that somethings difficult, only its dumbed down. “Its a bit tricky” is so ridiculously common.

[@serenitylamberson9350]

I’m American I use the word tricky, but instead of its a bit tricky I say this is tricky or that was tricky but I don’t say tricky all the time I use hard more than tricky a lot

[@candicemoll8386]

I started using tricky even more after moving to the USA. When I used the word 'hard' no one could understand me coz I don't pronounce the 'r'. I got sick of repeating myself.

[@ianbutler6583]

Makes me realize what a funny lot we are. You missed crack a fat! try explaining that one..hihi

[@abcdefghi447]

Nice to see you lauging again.

[@MultiPiddles]

I am from England and a lot of these phrases are used in the UK

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Most of those phrases are from the UK you dolt.

[@suraj9]

Whaaat, you aren't in SA anymore? Also, how is fortnight not an international word?!! I feel like I literally am speaking a different language now.

[@candicemoll8386]

Yeah the word 'fortnight' doesn't exist in the USA. It's the weirdest thing :p

[@Flair258]

@@candicemoll8386 I mean... It does... But as the video game Fortnite, which everyones heard of.

[@Flair258]

@@candicemoll8386 it exists a little bit... Ive heard people say it a couple of times in my life. Not very often... but it HAS been said.

[@tallulah2]

Fortnight sounds outdated to American ears, like something from the 1800s. It would sound too formal for casual American conversation. We know what it means, but we just don’t use it in daily conversation. I like it in Australian or British English, though!

[@gary7709]

Another one to add to your list "im only pulling your leg" - Im only joking

[@candicemoll8386]

Ooh that's a good one! That's a very British term too :-)

[@Tanzadog1]

another one: "don't chuck a wobbly" as in don't make a big fuss and scene

[@candicemoll8386]

Oh yeah that's an old school one!

[@zebanoohin9176]

Can you please make video on rude reply in Australian accent

[@candicemoll8386]

Unfortunately I can't. KZbin doesn't like swearing in videos, so it will affect how visible my videos are to new viewers.

[@waynechalkley6693]

I like how you said some of those word's are used in the U.K. but you forgot to say new Zealand as well they don't like being left out 😂

[@candicemoll8386]

Yes NZ too. Sorry Kiwi's! Haha!
