oh good luck learning Norwegian! I live in Norway ^^ It's pretty strange really, because there are some words that got no rules for when to use them, like English on the other hand having He/She/It = Is, or We/You/They = are. I even asked some of my teachers, but nobody knew. A/An can mean either En or Et. Example: A car = En Bil. | A house = Et hus. | An angel = En engel. | An egg = Et egg. A/An can also mean Ei, but saying En instead of Ei works just fine too. "That" can mean either Den or Det. Example: That car = Den bilen. | That house = Det huset. "This" can mean eitherr Denne or Dette. Example: This car = Denne bilen. | This house = Dette huset. Just some examples. Literally, no rules lol. You just grow up with it and learn when to use which word as you keep hearing them.

I've lived all over Scotland from Falkirk, to Glasgow and its outer areas, the Highlands and Ayrshire. Here are a few of my fave words... Glaikit = silly/stupid/etc Hawd yer weesht = be quiet Skivvy = "am no yer Skivvy" I'm not your slave Skive = hookey for Americans, to skive is to not go to work/school etc Keks = trousers/shorts Breiks/breeks = male underpants Goonie = night gown Taps aff = tops off, usually a statement of how warm it is Ver'neer (or neer'ver) = very nearly Awa an beil yer heid = old statement usually said when someone is annoying you with silly stories "he said he climbed the big tree, and I said did ye aye awa an beil yer heid" directly translated to 'go away and boil your head" Yur/yer bums oot the windae = you're telling a tall tale Gies/geeze = to ask for something 'give me' "geeze a bite of yer piece" (NSFW geeze a gammy = give us a blow job 😂) Brer = brother Hame = home Cooncil juice = water from the faucet to drink Pure = usually said before an exclamation "the club was pure banging" that club was really good! Square go = is usually said to entice someone into fighting "he spilled his pint so a said moan then geeze a square go" Moan then = come on then Bampot = silly person "he's a pure Bampot" Belter = can be used multiple ways usually to describe something as either really good or crazy depending on the situation "that was a Belter of a stag do" "be wary of that Robert, he's a pure Belter" And that's all I can think of at the moment enjoy :)

Oh another one! Swatch = is not trying pigment, a swatch is a bit of, or a go of something... "geeze a swatch of your tonic" = give me a drink of your buckfast tonic wine. "geeze a swatch eaftur you die" = give me a shot of the game after you die.

Aye, and aye-aye is still used in the American Navy. I don't have as much of a trouble as some other Americans understanding the average conversation; but there's a lot of the Old Country verbiage, here in Appalachia. I'd imagine that this is common knowledge (back in the Isles), but it's nice to know for the folks that come and visit. Some of the things like "out and about" that,....that's stereotypically Canada's property on this side of the Pond. Have a good day!

I'm actually bilingual in Dutch and English, but I have noticed a fair amount of traditional Scots words, especially from eastern Scotland, can be similar or even the same as Dutch words.... like Church/Kirk/Kerk, to glance at/kiek/kijk (look), to know/ken/ken (ik ken jou = I know you), insects/beasties/beestjes and a considerable amount of others I can't think of at the moment... also pronunciation in Doric Scots can be much closer to how similar words are pronounced in Dutch too. Letter combinations like "gh" which are silent in English, become pronounced in traditional doric Scots and all of a sudden sound a lot similar to the Dutch word than in standard modern English! Also I have noticed that, similar to in Dutch, in Scots you can still use diminutive endings more often than in modern English by adding "ie" at the end of words, like a "lad" becomes a "wee laddie" a "lass" becomes a "wee lassie", hoose (house) - wee hoosie, wife, wee wifie..... literally denoting smallness in Scots, but can also be a term of endearment... if you like someone or something in Scots ... just make it or them a wee bit smaller :-)

here in the mid-southern appalachian mountains the word poke means a bag or a sack (or a packet). many a scot settled in the mountains when they arrived in the new world. also we have midges here in the us, sometimes referred to as gnats (silent "g") or no-see-ums but we also have black flies (in the north mostly). their bite will draw blood.

Learning Scottish words is always interesting! Not too familiar with many of these. A few I am, some I use. Mostly the basic ones. But out of this list jobby has to be my favorite. It's such a great word! And since most of my friends live in England gotta see if they use it now, just for the laughs! Haha! Great video Erin!

Make sure you research about Haggis Scotticus. These wild animals roam north up to Inverness. They are about the size of an 8lb chicken and have formed shorter legs on one side. They sometimes fall into Loch Ness, and are a secondary food source for the Loch Ness Monster. Beware -- they have very sharp teeth. Haggis, for eating, are from the west coast of Scotland and are called Haggis Caledonius.

Thank you! This was a very helpful vid. I'm so pleased that I already understood many of the words up to about 9:00 (ie. Auld from the song "Auld Lang Syne") but some were new (ie. Cannae, Willnae, Didnae, and Ain, ) and will take some practice to immediately understand. - Is that Freddy Kreuger's hand hanging from your door handle? [edit: never mind, just read below comments] - phonetically, might Depeche Mode = "similarly like rubbish"? - "fling" is commonly used in (my part of) the U.S.; it means "a gentle toss with a flick of the wrist". - "ken" = "can" as in "ken ya, now?" (can you, really?...when it's doubtful that they can) - we don't have "knackered" but we do have "tuckered" = "very tired" - "midges" same word for us though some people call them "sand flies" because they're usually found along lake/sea shores or swampy areas - J.R.R. Tolkien has Samwise call them "tatters".

Here's one I'm not sure if it's just from Glasgow or if it's used outside of it too but "Square Go" it's used during a fight meaning something like fair fight, you get first hit (which does not always happen) usually said with your arms spread out wide and/or as you walk towards the person your saying it to

I used to have an Irish accent till i was 9, then adopted a Glaswegian accent when i lived in Glasgow. When i left Glasgow and went overseas, people could hardly understand me. I had to slow down my speech and over the years its more Irish than Scottish now.

Hi from Canada! I don't know if you're much of a reader, but I'm listening to the audiobook of Shuggie Bain right now, and I laugh out loud every time I hear "piece" or "greetin'" or "boak" or "giving it laldy"! I swear I couldn't understand half of this (sad, but very engrossing) Glaswegian book if it weren't for your vids. Thank you!! :D
