Hi guys!
Today, I'm joined by American Daniela and South African Chantélle!
In this video, we're going to be talking about vocabulary differences in British, American and South African English!
It's quite interesting to find out differences between UK, US and SA words!
Hope you guys enjoy it! :)
*Special thanks to American Daniela and South African Chantélle!

they're reactions to when she said "wors" was hilarious; wors comes from the German word "wurst" which means sausage. the Boerewors she was talking about is a specific type of mixed-meat sausage that originated in South Africa as a result of boere (farmers) experimenting with recipes, one variant made with 20% pork, 80% ground beef and coriander (cilantro) became widely popular across the country and became the de facto Boerewors (farmer's sausage). with so many recipes of Boerewors, our food administration even had to assemble a Boerewors council to ensure the traditional recipe is being respected and proper labelling is applied to wors of all types.

Interesting. I'm originally from southern Africa, and now live in Canada. When we first came to Canada we were surprised to hear (dating myself) Bib Vila from "This Old House" refer to a hand basin as a lavatory. So in the US the lavatory is the hand basin, whereas in southern Africa and England it's the actual flushing toilet. I think I'm old enough to help Chantelle out on the "robot" thing. Way back, traffic was directed by policemen who stood on large half-barrel stages in the middle of the intersection, directing traffic. It was a very manual task, so when the traffic lights replaced the people we started calling them "robots" as they were machines that replaced human work. And on "braai", it's the Afrikaans word for "roast". I guess the origin is probably Dutch. On boerewors, that refers to a particular type of sausage--=farmer's sausage--of which there are plenty of recipes online. My old country, Zimbabwe, people called pork sausages, sausages, or sometimes 'bangers'. The tan or red hotdog type sausage we called "Vienna sausages" from the German pronunciation of 'wiener'. In the US and Canada they are called 'wieners' and pronounced exactly that way as one would say 'weaner' (being a calf not yet weaned from its mother). Regarding the candy, in Zimbabwe a 'lolly' would be frozen fruit flavoured snack on a stick, similar to an ice cream on a stick, but without the dairy. The type of candy shown were called lollypops. There was South African movie in the 1970s called e'lollypop. Lastly 'mielies' is the Afrikaans word for 'maize'.

"Boerewors" or "wors" is a very _specific_ type of sausage;. a long, coiled sausage that is "braaied". It is recognisable to any South African in appearance, smell and taste, and is an important part of the cuisine. You won't find a braai without wors. The sausage shown in the image would be referred to as a typical sausage, if you brought that to a braai and called it "wors" you would be laughed at.

that awkward moment when they're calling a hotdog a sausage....

[@maggiefollett636]

I know. It's a Vienna, not a "wors"!

[@lunariousmoon]

Its Vienna or Russian

I am subscribed, but I really love just watching all these different videos that pop up

[@zinhlezulu4903]

As YoungstaCPT says "We don't turn up, here we go bos!" In South Africa we have SO many cooler ways of saying things💖🇿🇦

[@lungatsewu2960]

What I love about this is that it make us to realize how beautiful and amazing this country is (,RSA) , I love you SOUTH AFRICANS♥️♥️😍😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@ellabattersby5146]

I haven’t seen anyone mention this but I’m gonna have to put it out there… in Britain we do not call it maize it’s corn, sweet corn or corn on the cob!!! 🇬🇧

[@antonniav]

In South Africa if it's on a cob it's a Emilie, frozen in a bag or tin it's called corn and we call maize meal " maize", this girl lived under a rock in SA

[@startreja562]

Chantelle's accuracy is forever on point. In all the videos❤️🙏🏾💯

[@AspienPadda]

They forgot bakkie (South African) or pickup truck or van or utility vehicle or just truck (which refers to a lorry here in SA)

[@percylight6695]

I wanted to hear about the khombi/taxi /van. I feel like we have mixed these names up.

[@AspienPadda]

That is rather difficult @@percylight6695 as they could all refer to the same vehicle haha. A combi has a sliding door and seats like 15 plus people. I think Volkswagen had a minibus thing with this name but the brand of choice here is Tata. A taxi is also that but could refer to an Avanz or any car doing the thing those yellow cars in NYC do but they're seldom yellow and when they are they're extremely expensive. Van usually refers to a worker pannel-van which is a larger type of car without windows or seating in the back but some also call the previous two as a van but with the a pronounced as an e. I think that's about it, let me know if you wonder about anything else or if this was helpful.

[@Calliopa_22]

Yep, this is exactly what I was thinking. To me a "Van" is kind of like a Khombi without the seats.

[@Skyscraper2015]

And Biltong? Awesome stuff that

[@dultonenriquedulton2695]

In a south African way we call sweets stock sweets

[@lesegotshegare2293]

😂😂 so true

[@kwezixuba4429]

a 'stok sweet' is a lollipop hahaha

[@sheugnetjones1744]

That's probably because in Afrikaans it is called 'suigstokkies'.

I am south african, when it comes to the loo, when you at someones house you say bathroom, restaurant you ask for rest room and your own house you say I am going to the toilet.

[@Leratomogase]

I’ve never used the term restroom in SA. Growing up, I was never allowed to say “I’m going to the toilet”... it was considered very rude. I’ve always called it a bathroom or loo

[@homemail9653]
