@david mullen. There is only one way to tell which sport is better. That is simply by the number of people prepared to go and watch it. Aussie rules is the fourth highest crowd drawing sport in the world, and NRL match of the day in Sydney draws 15 to 20,000 people, compared to Aussie rules pulling between 50,000 to 90,000 people. The Sydney Swans at the SCG always blitz rugby game crowds. So it is no contest, ours is the much more exciting game, and we call it footy.
@rickyd.9893 жыл бұрын
@david mullen . So I am a Victorian, because the Sydney Swans used to be South Melbourne. I think “REAL FOOTBALL” would mean kicking it with your feet, which you guys hardly ever do, so don’t call it “football” for starters. Watch a video of the “AFL’s worst hits and bumps.” You think’ your guys are tough, but our guys are running faster and from all directions and so the speed of the hits that can come from any direction means that our players cop a lot more rough stuff than your guys. Having said all that I do not watch it for the rough stuff. If I did I would go and watch wrestling or boxing. Our game is much more skilful such as bouncing the ball and marking it etc, plus is fast and high-scoring and highly entertaining. (Hence the reason it gets much bigger crowds.) At the moment there are heaps of Americans, English and others who are making video reactions to our game. They are all totally blown away with AFL. A couple of them have said, “We thought it was rugby and we weren’t interested, but AFL is a more exciting game.” Plenty of our Sydney players have played rugby as juniors, but found Aussie rules more exciting. Recently retired Kieran Jack is the son of one of your rugby heroes named Gary Jack. Kieran chose Aussie rules. So you can hang onto your childish belief that ours is a girls game, when in fact it’s a lot tougher than yours.
@rickyd.9893 жыл бұрын
@david mullen . All I said is we do kick the ball a lot where is you guys only kick it for a score. That means ours is more football than yours is.

Another version of “no worries” is “no wuckers”. Won’t go into the derivation and Emma is far too polite to mention. I’m inclined to disagree on use of the word “dunny”. Maybe it’s just us older types, but i find “loo” very twee and really English. I prefer our own slang. And you left out the slang for a plumber due to this. A plumber is a “dunny diver”. When I moved to coastal, regional Victoria, I noticed how, particularly girls, said “no worries” to everything, but then when I’d go back to Melbourne or Geelong, I’d hear it all the time, different ages, both genders.

@@valentinanderson535 HI Valentin, I think the answer is not really. There are some Australians who love the royal family, but not many. I think that the majority of Australians are respectful of the royal family and maybe interested to a degree in them, but see the royal family as disconnected from Australia. Australia is now a very diverse nation, with people from all over the world. However, I think the majority of people are very supportive of our democracy and would if needed still support the UK in times of trouble. I think this is because the UK and Australia are two of the best democracies in the world with very similar values and that both nations work hard to ensure equality and opportunity, with very good systems to support underprivileged people when compared with other nations. We would support other European nations similarly but not to the same extent because we don't have the same history with them and also because European nations have a history of conflict between each other.

I loved this video so much that I thought I'd share my first experiences with the Australian English. I've been living in Australia for nearly 20 years now and I'm still learning the Aussie slang. Every time I thought I've heard them all, there'd be a another popped in that I haven't heard of before. My background is I'm a polyglot, I speak five languages from my home country, SI, and that includes English as it is the official language of SI but also it's the only language we are taught at school and we're taught the British English as SI was a British Protectorate. I had English teachers from England at secondary school. Funny thing, I thought I knew English when I moved to Australia but when I started interacting with the people, oh my, it was a total nightmare for me; firstly the Australian accent is a very confusing accent to someone who is not familiar with it and secondly, the Australian slang...might as well a language on its own. I got to be honest, I was so confused and I used to ask people to repeat themselves all the time to the point where I was so embarrassed about myself asking all the time. I came to conclusion that Australians aren't speaking English but that they're speaking a language of their own called Australian. To my Australian husband's amusement he used to tell people, "Hey, my wife thinks we speak Strayan not English" and they'd laugh. Oh the Australian humour; I learned that too (Australians have a great sense of humour). But that was then, now I'm embarrassing the Australian English, I find it fascinating. Languages always fascinate me. Now that I'm familiar with the Australian English, I'm currently learning French, Spanish and German. Oh, yeah, nothing's going to stop me from learning. Thank you, mmmEnglish. 🙂👍

A lot of those older terms are still in use extensively the further west or rural you go. If you head out of the big smoke (the larger capital cities), the older version of Australian slang (Sheila, dunny, cobber, dart, etc) are still heavily used. It's also generally how you tell suburban vs rural/outback Australians apart. There are also smaller capitals and cities that use the country Australian vernacular, rather than the suburban Australian vernacular. The north of Australia - pretty much from Townsville to Geraldton, including famous cities like Cairns, Darwin, Alice Springs, Broome, Karratha, etc - all use the country vernacular, with regional dialects. The same with essentially anything west of the Great Dividing Range (the Blueies) in the Eastern States. Places like Parkes and Wagga-Wagga (the actual name of a city in western NSW) speak in a manner more similar to someone in Kalgoorlie than someone in Sydney. In the middle, there is also a unique Germanic influence on the vernacular. In the early colonial period of QLD, SA and the NT, there was a strong central European migration, with German being the dominant tongue. Barossan German is still a spoken dialect of modern German, native to Australia. All Australian German speakers, though, speak English. However, in places like rural SA and remote NT, the accent and terminology has identifiable Germanic influence. This includes the way certain letters are pronounced - such as car having a longer "aah" sound than in the east or west, or in the type of foods available - such as schnitzels, fritz and mettwurst as opposed to parmigiana (you can get parmigiana toppings, but its sold as a topping to any of the schnitzel varieties), polony/devon or smoked meats. However, probably the biggest issue visitors face is the thick accent in rural and remote areas - often very "mumbled" and grunt-like, rather than well annunciated. There is, of course, a reason for this: the flies. An open mouth is a mouth filled to overflowing with the little blighters! Essentially, the two main language dialects are South-East Australian (all the big, heavily populated regions from Brisbane to Melbourne, as well as large outliers such as East Tasmania, Mount Gambier and Adelaide) and the West and North - often called "bogan" by the SE.

The Australian culture is all about enjoying life and looking towards the future. But more and more it's becoming about accepting everyone and cultivating the best in every person, regardless of their background, etc. I have always been very proud of Australia but as we evolve and learn more ourselves about the cultures of the world and accept them into our community the more proud I become and the better community I think we are.

Small correction. Servo wasn't a term for a place to service your car. As an older bloke, Servo meant "full service" i.e. The attendant/s would come out, put gogo juice in your car. Pop the bonnet, check fluids. Oil, water, etc. & occasionally tyre pressure depending on time. So... Servo meant that you got served... =D

Hi Emma! Great summary of some really topical common phrases. I’m an Aussie. I often wonder how visitors go watching the news. I remember seeing a story once with the caption ‘Prang’ (car crash) lol. I have an American friend who I complimented once saying they would have left me for dead at something. They thought I meant if I was dying they would have left. It took some explaining to convince them it was a compliment that they were better at something 😂 Another one for our US friends - generally for your snags, sauce = ketchup

"Prang" regularly used in Uk too

"Bucks" as slang for dollars is exactly the same in the US. This is a walk in the park compared to trying to understand certain Scottish speakers, some don't even sound like they are speaking English to American ears.
@RichWoods232 жыл бұрын
In all fairness, some aren't. It's easy for a speaker to slip some Gaelic words in and break up the flow of comprehension to others, even those used to the accent. I'm English so I don't always grasp everything a Scots dialect speaker might say, although I have enough familiarity that I can usually work out the intent. But if you're not sure, all you have to do is stop and ask.

I was working as a Spanish teacher and I had an Aussie colleague, who taught English. He was very smart and friendly and, in the morning, at the beginning of the working day, he greeted me with a "Good morning, sunshine!". I know it isn't Australian slang, but it was heartwarming. He even took a boomerang to the academy. How funny. Besides, I knew from my Australian boyfriend some Aussie words related to privacy, but they are not suitable for infants and young children. 😄

Actually, "Sunshine" does tend to be a common way to address someone. And like "mate" it can have positive or negative connotations. "Morning Sunshine" is quite a common expression (altho tends to be more common with the older generation, I think)
@kanytonaan55942 жыл бұрын
"he greeted me with a "Good morning, sunshine!"" That's a clear sign of him wanting to engage in some hanky-panky with you, did he succeed?

During my school days in South Australia, we used to study for a few months to make English adaptions there. It turns out that there are many differences in the English we learn in Malaysia, especially the accent even though Australian English is simpler than British English.

Planning for retirement, or even financial freedom, is a marathon and not a race, as the saying goes. Breaking your financial independence goals into small pieces can help you stay on track while making the process a little more manageable and hopefully a little less stressful. Even if you are starting small, the important thing is to start. The investment creates a safe haven for the future. Everyone needs it so you don't go bankrupt when you stop working
