Heck, you scared me. lol I thought your eyeball was coming out bc of im not sure if it’s a birth mark or what is going on with your eye. But I got scared.
Turkish living in Belgian here (also a linguist!) The first time I heard a Northern Irish farmer use the words such as cow or calf - calves, I was absolutely amazed! Great videos, many thanks!
Thank you. I needed this.
Some of my favorite sounds come from wind chimes 2:11 . People seem to confuse the words: went & gone , when speaking
What an awesome video! How are you doing recently? Alis😊
A polyglot friend of once said to me (as I was trying to speak/learn another language) “It’s quite obvious that you’re an American English speaker, because you pronounce your ‘Rs’ way to hardly/harshly. You’d be better off if you dropped the ‘R’ sound all together.” Somehow I found that slightly offensive
Thank you for your video!
I’m trying to learn an Irish accent to be able to play a dnd character, and these videos are honestly so helpful. I’ve been watching the Derry girls videos and these to be able to prepare, but it’s surprisingly difficult! The diphthong and the rhotic ‘r’ hard to master, but I’m trying my best! Thank you for these videos (I’m watching these from the USA)
This is great for me as I’m northern Irish but I have an English accent
A feature in my view, because I know someone from there, the speaking pitch is a bit lower than in RP, as a Spaniard it is closer to the pitch we would use when we speak. RP's pitch is more fluctuating, perhaps higher and from a different part of the mouth. In Scotland, I noticed the pitch drops a bit too, so I wonder, has anyone else in such areas noticed it?
I have a question for you Northern Ireland Folk do you say y'all?
My mom and father ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE, certainly! Thanks for the video!! 😁
See, its this, not so much the accent but the vocabulary. As a native English speaker, I get a bit confused with a friend I've recently started chilling with with a Northern accent. If you just had a long video explaining words like this, that'd be great
It’s no different to the other Irish accents we all sound the same to Americans
I always said Sean Bean’s N Irish accent was terrible.
How about the rest of Ireland, can you do any of the 26 other counties, not just the north?
Ok here's one for you: Rebuke or Judgement. First a confessing Believer or Christian says to another person whom they know is a Believer of Jesus or a Christian that "Your God does not exist!" Your going to Rebuke them... Because it is sin or blasphemy. Even if they were angry. I would think you would be looking down on them for making a statement as such? Comments?
I am from El Salvador and always found northern Ireland people very mysterious and interesting with their accent. I learned so much today. Thank you!
Not really a tricky question for some, just Ireland lol
This chart is very useful for me.orizing the phonemic characteristics and for quick reference. I like it.
I had to look up what a Fenian was :) I also remember I think Dierdre calling someone "fly" I think? I assume it meant unreliable or flighty? Very different than what "fly" means in some cultures in the US, which is that you are cool and have great style as in the Offspring's song "Pretty Fly for a White Guy"
Never hear of "Bout ye" but I love it 😀
I hear the Barbadian accent in the Northern Irish accents... You all have impacted how we speak! I hear it in cyar and cyant
If there's any justice Louisa will eventually play Doctor Who. Orla's wide-eyed Tom Baker-y eccentricity is perfect.
Hi
I come from Irish and Sicilian immigrants in America, my fiance is a black American who uses this phrase quite often and I've never heard of it before him 😂 what a world we live in
I really struggled with the word 'brown' even though 'how', 'now' and 'cow' were all fine. 😂
This must be how Irish language people talk in English, since the Irish language is spoken in Northern Ireland.
Sure mate it’s spoken by about 10 pensioners in Armagh
