Philippine English vs. Australian English

Filipino husband and Aussie wife on an English language face-off. LOL!

[@saranghamnida8170]

i love filipino accent than australian accent. why? just because filipino accent is very clear and easy to understand.

[@Mike-es6bk]

+Wendy Lim C you got that right!

[@faultyunit]

+Wendy Lim Not to an Australia. We understand Australians easier than Filipinos.

[@tenesuki1709]

Well im a filipino so ye :3

[@marklester9957]

+Wendy Lim thats just too bias...you have to be considerate because the other party might think the same to your accent...just because youre used to hearing your accent doesnt make it better than the other

[@darwinb718]

+mark lester i have to agree with this guy...

[@seoulmate1360]

In the Philippines, I commonly hear people say 'softdrinks' more than 'soda'

[@saudiboy5136]

no, they would say. "soupdrinks" lol! :)))

[@seoulmate1360]

Phuc Yu It's not "strange terms". It's simply cultural difference. Choose the right word, pls

[@RightBlader]

sopdrink

[@luxxavy2582]

in uk we just say coke even though its pepsi

[@girlrandom7022]

Seoul Mate that's true, it's softdrink in Philly not soda. Soda's more of an American way of saying it.

[@noddrey]

You can tell his a filipino based on his accent. When I'm calling on a toll free number I can tell right away if its a filipino on the other line or not based on the accent itself. Filipino's are more precise on their dictions and pronunciations.

[@enamoraleatv7996]

British english is definitely different in american english singular / florals is the difference hahaha lol

[@Sinniyuh]

it should be, because some people in the philippines will judge you because of your accent and pronunciation.. Unlike other countries who wouldn't care as long as they understand you 😭

[@eugenelordvidad4000]

you're such a cute couple.. ive been smiling from start to end... such a good vibes!

[@jmgoc.b.esnaldo7181]

And i smile the whole time watching your video...

[@candleinthewind9135]

"British English, the correct English" - except that Australian's based on Cockney whereas Filipino's based on standard American.

[@karlaobrien8799]

Incorrect depends what part of Australia they are from. I'm from South Australia and it's based on British English

[@neddyladdy]

I reckon she was speaking standard informal Australian English.

[@jerrybernardino9223]

i agree she speak british

[@sugarloafpaws4-legstwo558]

it's actually Aussie slangs that she used to some other terms like sunnies, sanga. snags etc... Other slang words are really hard to understand but sounds cool.

[@bakisnoaln2754]

we are not in American standard

[@robemoves]

IDK, but I was smiling all through out the video. The love on your eyes for each other, OMG.

[@SphyxGreifing]

Thank you sa video pre! Binigyan mo ako ng pag asa na makakuha ng aussie na babae :)

[@renatomota1390]

As a Portuguese-Brazilian, with Portuguese father and German-Japanese mother, married with an Italian wife and having lived in London, after I had learned American English, I quite often get confused with the terms... hahahhaha Very nice video, though... Congrats! :D

[@dragoslavdelavega558]

Renato Mota, that's a lots of mix., I'm Brazilian but dude, u look ordinary like. 🙉🙉🙉 lol.

[@Views-pq2ns]

First Floor and Ground Floor are both use in Philippines but both is always followed by 2nd

[@axelkate6801]

JC Villar yeah

[@XyZ-nk6tg]

Oh, our house has 1st floor, 2nd floor and Ground floor I'm confused now, for me Ground floor is the Sub of First floor, sometimes I called it Basement, would you please tell me, coz in a Mall , 168 Mall in Divisoria manila, they have Ground floor and 1st floor, so its maybe different

[@reryaa]

No I live in Melb and it always start with G then 1,2,so on

[@hatoriterry8198]

Xy Z no basement is always below the ground floor, GF will never be called basement coz it is always located above land level.

[@ashminley]

[@021eric]

Nakakaaliw kayong dalawang panoorin, talaga namang humans speak a lot of languages but love only speaks one language for the couple who loves each other.

[@daveiam7650]

You guys are cute. ahahah . Destiny talaga. Suggest lang po, you can add "annotations or subtitle for the words used :) Because their are words that are new to others and can't be cope up just by hearing it for the first time (especially on british/australan vocabulary words).

[@brianariesgayosa564]

I just realized that Australians speak British accent wihich is why me as an Indian Pinoy can so much relate and can truly speak British type English so easily and correctly..

[@ambitiousss162]

I think your pronunciation depends in what region you came from in the Philippines. Some Filipinos speaks english with their native dialect accent and some speaks with american accent. Some can understand english very well but cannot speak it so well. We Filipinos can easily learn or adapt to any accents in the world i guess. ^^ I also wish to be fluent in english that's why i applied in a call center company just to develop my english speaking skills and i'm gonna start my training next week already. Wish me luck! ^_^

[@shithappens6740]

Best of luck!

[@James-el6lj]

You guys are so cute! 🤗

[@nemiaepal7305]

I learnt a lot from you guys. Thanks a lot🇵🇭

[@michaeldougfir9807]

This has been the most fun and charming video I have seen in ages! I have spent time in the Philippines, and I must say, the husband's speech seems so perfect compared to most of his fellow citizens I ever spoke to. I think he has spent a long time in the US, or around Americans. And the charming wife was so cute! i once had a Rhodesian wife. She died some time ago. But I remember our conversations about the dialects. It was so fun! So I understood you both very well. The exceptions being a few particular Australian slang terms. So, thanks for the memories, and the fun.

[@steffin001]

They were both inlove. Lovely couple. May God be the centre of your relationship forever.

[@MG-bt1ze]

My SO and I have the same problem, she's from NZ and I'm from Phils ha! You guys are great.

[@johnhimura1000]

i can already tell that she's lucky to have this guy. mabuhay.

[@DanaScrubyMusic]

I'm half filipina and half british so although some of the australian words are different I use a mixture of filipino english and some australian words which is quite fun tbh haha

[@MementoMori1001]

Dana Scruby you look pure asian in your picture. I could be wrong

[@DanaScrubyMusic]

I just look more like my mum haha my dad's English. If you compare me to my 3 brothers I'm the whitest lol

[@dragoslavdelavega558]

Dana Scruby here in my country in Brazil, we have the most good looking people. u don't need to b white to b attracted.. U suck 🙀

[@DanaScrubyMusic]

Dragoslav War no one was talking about being attractive? we were speaking about how I look in general 😐

[@DanaScrubyMusic]

Dragoslav War 1) technically on not a woman I'm still a child congrats you insulted a child and 2) I'm really confused on what you're actually talking about

[@magayonlee3613]

they're so in love with each other! can see that!

[@Junzstylemadapaka]

I live in Australia for about 6 years now, still couldn't understand some of the aussie slangs. Still couldn't adapt their accent either. There were times that I've been corrected by my coworker due to my pronouncation of certain word. I wonder could that be an Aussie pride? Coz I'm using my Filipino-Americanized english?? 😂😂😂

[@peterpopescu2823]

Same us ha..ha.

[@gelacortado8949]

I want to learn more Filipino and Aussie language at the same time. :-) I'm a Filipino but now, Australian. Living in Australia with my whole family. I'm glad to met you both.

[@jonathan083]

Australian/british is the correct way but Filipino english is the easier way.

[@mysterycharm03]

filipino english is basically american english with minor differences.

[@icequeen9]

"It's not enough to think; you have to reckon!" This is so true. Also, hilarious.

[@AngeliYuson1]

when i moved to Singapore i got confused with this during my first few years 😂, even with the spelling hahaha, now i have adjusted very well and practice British English and singlish hahaha

[@jerbycristo7583]

Singlish is like ... No lah. I wan't to go to Clark Quay lah. Hehehe. I just used to hear such accent to the locals there everytime I visit Singapore. But Singaporean are great in terms of discipline and in embracing quality education.

[@user-pt9bl6hm8p]

ok lah,,,, take care lah 😂

[@itsmemheb1336]

ThatFabieEve yes im a bit confused at first too when my co worker said just throw it in a trash bin( dust bin..the way he pronounced) hahahah coz in filipino we called it trash can and also the brinjal but in filipino we called it eggplant.

[@phoebemones5648]

It's cute and you can know how it's so different... and you can adjust in their English how they use it..

[@emanmoral]

I'm a Filipino living in Sydney for 25 years now. Comparing Filo and Aussie English, I go for the Aussie English based UK english where it all came from. You guys are so fun.

[@sheb5961]

In average Philippine English, unstressed Ts in between vowel sounds aren't pronounced as soft ones. Like for "tomato", Filipinos say it as /toh-may-toh/ instead of /tuh-may-doe/; for "elevator", /ele-VAY-tohr/ instead of /E-le-VAY-duhr/; and for "indicator", /in-decay-tohr/ instead of /in-decay-duhr/. Also, "soda" and "potluck" aren't commonly used; rather, we use "softdrink" and "bring your own" (but not "BYO") likewise. "Aunt" is never /aent/. For "oregano", I think /o-re-GUH-no/ is more common than /o-REH-ga-no/ here, but people do tend to switch the syllable to stress on on many English words anyway.

[@tadthudz]

I agree with you on most points, except potluck (it's definitely potluck, never heard byo in manila) and oregano. Joseph pronounced oregano as most Filipinos would.

[@sheb5961]

+rhoda I'm a Filipino but idk, it's the first time I heard the word "potluck". Tbh I had to google "byo" to match up the meaning. As for "oregano", I was referring to the stresses. From what I hear from people here, it's the "ga" part that they stress usually, not the "re" part.

[@tadthudz]

I'm a Filipino too, and I grew up in the Philippines. Potluck in my experience has been used by everyone from elementary school to the work environment, lol. Also, yes, oregano is always stressed at the "re" part by most Filipinos, in the same way that the "ri" in "origami" is stressed....

[@elvinadaliyong9083]

And our English is very clear,not slang or garbled ^--^

[@nicoartienda]

thats where you're wrong, its not very clear and native english speakers cannot understand all "filipino english" because of the accent. you just think you're saying it right and clear. and one more thing, slang is not even what you think it is. you are prolly referring to accent not slang.

[@elvinadaliyong9083]

No,i certainly meant slang.and sometimes you're eating your words.

[@nicoartienda]

slang are informal words and not, in any way, related to the way you speak or say words

Barbecue - barbie Man - bloke McDonalds - Maccas I love this.... had fun watching until the end of the video.. really had a hard time understanding the aussie words during my first few months in Australia.. but later got used to it..

[@thisisjessan06]

i appreciate how you sweetly reconcile with every difference of words but then hey you still understand each other. 😊 i have a degree in english and i can relate to both languages. downside of it is i tend to mix them and later on i kind of ask myself if i was actually using the right word or even say the right pronunciation.lol.. anyway, there is no way american english can be reconciled with british english and the other way around. i don't know. as long as it's english. i guess that's the most important thing. 😉

[@MariefeBlucher]

You guys are so cute! watching the whole thing with a smile on my face...
