    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 :-)

    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.

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".

    In the North Eastern US we use the term juke. Instead of cutting in line specifically, we use it to mean that someone or something is moved in such a quick way that it could cause confusion or shock. You can say you juked someone in the sense that you made them think you were going in one direction, only to move in the last instant and juke them. I think that's a common phrase these days but I'm never sure. I grew up thinking my local slang was common only to find out that usually isn't the case. We say things like supper instead of dinner, or yuh instead of yeah. Most of our slang is in the form of analogies as well like the phrase "Slower than molasses." is common, and old timers will say the long form of the expression "Slowa than molasses goin' uphill in winta." I recently talked to an online group of friends from Ireland, England, and Greece only to find that my common turns of phrase stalled the conversation more often than not. Not only that, but US slang (at least from my regional experience) tends to have a violent edge to it. One of the phrases I used that gave everyone pause was "Either way you slice it." Which means, no matter how you look at something, it's all the same. In other words "Same difference." Which then lead into the phrase "Fifty fifty split." Which apparently isn't common outside of the US???? Maybe it's a sports related term... Anyway, I enjoy seeing videos about slang and accents because it reminds us all that the language we use may all have the same or similar roots, but our cultural identities and nuances in our regional history really shapes the way that we use it. A lot of English speakers have crossover words, but they don't always mean the same thing. Where I live the term "Jimmys" or "Jimmies" means sprinkles for ice cream or cake, and two states over it means condoms... So language can vary greatly with just a few hours distance between two areas.

    Juke in the USA is a older world used by African Americans in the early 20th century. A roadside or rural establishment offering liquor, dancing, and often gambling and prostitution. Also called juke house, juke joint. intr.v. juked, juk·ing, jukes also jooked or jook·ing or jooks 1. To play dance music, especially in a juke. 2. To dance, especially in a juke or to the music of a jukebox. Jukebox comes from juke. A lot of Blues music came out of juke joint. We have fling in the USA. Its used often in Los Angeles. We have mind in the USA as mind your manners. My favorite Scotties words will always be grammar and Glamours; which comes from the word grammar and is shorten to the word glam. Many people in Canada say the word about the same as Scottish people do. Love the video. you're always a joy to listen too.

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 :)
