They found the most feminine Scottish man, the sleepiest American and the coolest Irishman.

Shout out to the American girl who was able to stay awake for almost 12 minutes 😂🎉 👏👏

I didn't know valium was an accent until the american spoke

I’ve traveled to 47 of the states and I’ve never once heard a (sober) American speak with that accent and/or pace.

She's not shocked, she's half asleep.

It's my first time seeing an American who speaks slowly, and it's good for me to deep learn English. Thank you, Sofia..

I’m from the U.S. and to me Sofia speaks soooooo slow. It’s almost hard to listen to without wanting to fall asleep. I’m not sure if she’s trying to speak slowly on purpose, but generally, it’s more common for people from the United States to speak much quicker than what’s represented here.

I like she doesn't rush words, her vibe calms me down and I love that energy, I'd like to hear some whispering ASMR from her. ☺

I have to watch this video at 1.5 speed ‘cause the American girl speaks so lethargically

This American girl always talks as if her batteries were running out 🤣🤣

I'm beginning to worry that the American girl is being held here against her will and forced to make these videos endlessly without sleep while on tranquilisers to keep her from rebelling. There is no other explanation.

Think the scottish accent goes to a whole other level once you get to glasgow, even other scots are left looking bewildered when they hear our accent 😅

The american girl is actually just an alien in a human suit that smoked a big fat blunt at the local MacDonalds and went there to troll people

Why does the American girl look like she's going to fall asleep any minute?

5:13 I'm from Wales and, even from a non-Welsh-speaking region, we'd always say: *_Ych a fi_* as a way to say yuck or disgusting. So much so, I didn't realise it was actually Welsh until I grew up. I just thought it was a normal phrase.

The Scottish person seems to be holding back. A Scot would be more like "awright hen how ye daen? Ye be'n daen awright aye? Hows yer maw 'n' fether keepin' an'aw?" 😂

About the accent used for the ogre 'Shrek'. The voice was performed by Mike Myers, a Canadian. Mike used a different accent when he first recorded Shrek's voice. Mike decided that Shrek should have a Scottish accent. The producers of the movie were annoyed but eventually agreed to the change. So Shrek has a Scottish accent by a Canadian, softened for North American viewers. In the original 'Star Trek' tv series, the character Montgomery "Scotty" Scott was played by James Doohan a Canadian born in Vancouver BC. As Scotty was the Chief Engineer, James felt that the character should have a Scottish background as the Scottish have a reputation for Engineering. As the old saying goes - If it isn't Scottish, it's crap! 😀 🎸😎

The USA is so large and diverse that there are huge varieties of dialects/accents throughout the states. I'm from southeastern Kentucky, which is in the Appalachia Mountains, and we don't talk anything similar to the American girl in this video. A good idea for a video would be to get a group of people together from 5 to 10 different American states and sections of the US and have some fun comparing dialects. For instance, where I live and all through the South we pronounce pin and pen the same, but in the north and other sections of the country they have separate pronunciations for those words.

Man the yank is a walking lullaby. And that's one UNCHARACTERISTICALLY soft spoken Scotsman right there.

Y’all leave that poor girl alone. Bless her heart.

Why’s she talking so slowly omg

As an American I don’t think it odd that the Irish are calling the restroom the Jacks because in the USA we call it the John. “I’m going to the John” Jack is sometimes a nickname from John. Like John F. Kennedy’s nickname was Jack. I found this online. The John Sir John Harrington was the inventor of the forerunner of the first flushing toilet (known as the Ajax), so it’s only fitting that his first name should have become synonymous with the toilet. The Jacks The jacks is Irish slang for toilet, derived from the older English word for toilet jakes. Jakes itself comes from ‘The John’.

The American lady talks at 0.5 speed. Id go insane

The American gal is so quiet spoken, slow speaking and proper, she's kinda a rate type of American, her speech pattern is not common at all. She seems like a sweetheart

They found a Scotsman that only speak straight standard English with very little accent. They might have got an actual Scots speaker but of course that is not English it's another language. Problem it allows this man to imply that what is spoken in Scotland is just English with an accent.

8:39 Funly enough in European Portuguese we say a lot "casinha" (little house) for toilet as well. The most standard way to say toilet anyway is "casa de banho" (lit. bath house) so that's why. Apparently describing it as a house came about because the toilet was very often detached from the main building of a house. Like a small house next to it for washing and physiological needs

American here. Regarding the American girl: I’ll have what she’s having.

No one mentioned 'bogs' for the toilet. That's what I grew up with in England. Disappointed. I've heard that in bith England and Scotland. I've always understood Ty Bach to be Southern (Welsh) and Toiledau to be Northern, but there's more nuance obviously, I learned Llefrith as Northern for milk and Llaith as southern, Gallu as Southern and medru as Northern but not so in the North East of Wales. But this is about English, so I want to hear about going to the bogs for going to the toilet.

American girls is looks like she just woke up high and running out of battery,with eastern European (accent/background)

Having Yorkshire roots I certainly would say 'grand' for 'that's great'. For number 6, you can also say 'where's the bog', in some parts of England, with 'bog' being a slang term for toilet. We can also ask for 'bog roll' too, instead of toilet paper.

I knew an Irish teacher who got into trouble in his first job in Australia, while talking to teens about how they date in Ireland explained that "well first they like to have a bit of craic"..............

Methinks Sophie’s a wee bit stoned.

I'm already used to American accent by Sophia and also Lauren's accent 'cause of her presence on the channel often , but nothing from Wales' accent 😂 and just a little bit of Scottish

Haha... I am from North West England, or the border with Wales, and my father was from a Scottish family, with my Grandad from Glasgow. So I was exposed to a a lot of phrases and words from these countries. So I understood most of these people...except not so much the Irish stuff. I think the Welsh language sounds really nice, and I am planning to move to North Wales later in the year and just started to learn the language. The welsh guy in this video would make a great Welsh language teacher! I have no idea how difficult it is to learn, but I learnt to speak, read and write Thai, so I hope it might be a bit easier than that (because that took me years).

In parts of Scotland the bathroom is also sometimes referred to as the "bog" or "cludgie", additionally I've heard the terms "crapper" and "lav/lavvy" - short for lavatory - used across the UK. For rain I'd also add "it's coming down in sheets" for heavy rain, and when it's that odd weather somewhere between rain and fog (where the droplets just hang in the air) we might say it's "mizzle/mizzly" outside. "Smashin' " is another way to say you're doing fine or well.

"Where's the toilet ?" Seems more an specific question and i think any person willl understand , but "where's the jacks ?" I would totally get lost 😂

It was a bit interesting that the Scots say 'bucketing' in terms of raining. In Norway we say "det pøser ned" or "det bøtter ned", both means 'it is bucketing down', the first one is more maritime, since a bucket was/is called "pøs" on a ship.

Ive heard and used most of these terms. I come from a Scottish family so a lot of these aren't new to me the Welsh is a bit different though. I like this video it does show how we express ourselves differently in America and in other places. If you are in the South some will say where is the washroom? which can mean bathroom or laundry room. A lot of the times it is used as bathroom. Ive always said where is the toilet or thunderbox? hahah

In Canada, we occasionally call toilet rooms "the john", and "Jack" is a common nickname for people named John, so I get that. Generally, though, we call it a washroom (there's no bath in public toilets, why would it be called a bathroom?)

Canadians are known to say where are the rest rooms... or wash rooms and sometimes facilities.. like in public spaces. However in personal homes .. we'd say I have to use the wash room, bath room... the can.. or the john. Depending on your comfort level.. who you are and if you are trying to be funny. I know we also have many more.. but those are the ones that sprang to mind quickly. 🍁

Omg! I was interested until the American girl started speaking. And I’m American!!! That’s not a slow southern drawl (which I’m used to) it was more someone who’s been sedated or on drugs.

5:13 It’s normalised around me in South Wales that when we say: “That’s disgusting” people normally would say “Ych-a-fi”. 8:00 Here I was taught in school “Ga I fynd/(Mynd) I tŷ bach” or “Ble mae’r tŷ bach?” the first one would translate to “Can i go to/have the toilet” and the second is “Where is the toilet?” x

Fun fact: Ty Bach, the Welsh for "Little House" is very similar to the Irish Tí Beag meaning Small Home

Is the American high or something? lol she seems very chill!!

The American girl is talking like she is about to sleep

in Ireland you could also say "ooh that's deadly!" for something that is insanely cool, like meeting a celebrity we also say "aw that's rank!" for something disgusting

I reckon in all of these countries you’ll get different variations depending on your region…it’s true for Ireland at least. To contribute, I could say “that’s mint” for “that’s great!”. “That’s pure mint!” would be something similar to “that’s really great!”. Coupled with a strong rural accent, I probably wouldn’t be understood. Lethal or deadly are also used, but I think they’re a few degrees higher than mint. Don’t know where this usage of mint comes from but I suspect there may be a connection to mint quality collectibles which would be unopened and be valued highly.

In South Wales for "That's great" we would use Tidy. (and for a while in the 80's there was a phase of throwing up the bull horns hand gesture while saying Moist for some reason lol). disgusting would be minging or rank. And it's raining cats and dogs in Wales would just be Tuesday lol.

Bathroom was quite the confusing word for me when I was a kid, cause I grew up hearing bathroom, washroom, restroom, and lavatory. In addition to like the john, and I've actually seen w.c. as well, tho not as common Not to mention my family didn't speak eng, so at home, I'd hear either the korean word which sounds like it means "makeup room" or japanese "toilet"

So nice to have a North Welshie representing for a change! 💕

For me i would say the Welsh guy from North say's stuff we don't really say in South, like if raining i believe we say it is Pouring down, saying You Alright is common in south but never heard much of what he stating, so i feel for Wales it isn't enough for 1 person for North alone, needed a Southern Welsh person also

So Luna Lovegood has an American sister???

In Geordie (Newcastle) we'd say 1. alreet?, 2. that's class/mint/cush, 3. that's minging, 4. it's pissing doon, 5. get in the queue, 6. where's the bog?

I'm from South Wales, here's what I'd say: 1. "Alright butt?" 2. "That's brill" or "That's sick" 3. "That's grim" or "ych-a-fi" 4. "It's absolutely tipping down" 5. "Get in the queue" 6. "Where's the toilet?"

In Swansea in South Wales, which has been speaking mostly English for centuries and centuries I think, it's definitely quite different to North Wales. I don't actually know that much about North Wales, I definitely should... Unfortunately there's very very little Welsh used in conversation (though all the signs have Welsh across Wales), I wish I knew more than just a couple very basic phrases. The accent definitely tends to be stronger, but I got a vaguely English accent from my teachers at school and I'm so mad about it because I think Welsh accents sound so nice (I moved to Wales when I was 7 from Australia and born in New Zealand, but lost maybe 95% of those accents).

The way the American talks reminds me of Ariana Grande playing Kat in Victorious

Sophia hitting that blunt again 🚬

How many joints did she smoke before this?

i was pretty much expecting the american girl to fall asleep any moment lol

In some parts of Canada we say 'can' instead of bathroom/toilet, like 'I'm going to the 'can' or 'they're in the 'can'.

Where did they find those people? People i know from wales, Scotland, Ireland and USA talk very Very different.

Loo is also a very old word and comes from French "guardez l'eau'!" (watch out for the water). Apparently it does date back to the days when people did empty their chamber pots out in the street. This is also why us men will always walk on the house side when escorting a lady (how counterintuitive - because of traffic today - it may seem).

As an American, I ask this out of love and concern, is she ok? I have to be honest that I get frustrated by most of the Americans featured on this channel. They come off less sophisticated and knowledgeable than the Americans I know. We’re a big country, that’s true, but it’s almost every American on this channel. Strikes me every time

Sophia speaks like one of my friends from university, in slow motion. Maybe she is just very shy. This is not a judgement just an observation.

In Glasgow you can have an entire conversation composed of '"Awright?" "Awright?" "Awright. Awright?" "Awright." "Awright."

Does no one use the shitter or crapper anymore?

Welshman is so proud of his language. I hadstudied in cardiff. Good memories. Love from 🇮🇳

Google tells me that "the Jacks" is from a man named Jack Power, who invented the first multi-cubicle toilet system.

Im from a European country whom does not have English as a first langauge but we are still pretty good at english so we are basically bi-lingual and in School they would familirazie us to all the different accents (Írish, Scottish, Wales and brittish) so I can understand all of them for the most part. Its hardest to understand children and older people becuase they tend to speak a bit unclearer but I had no issue understanding the people in this video. Any other non-english speaking european country who has had similar education that agrees? Maybe its just an european thing to be able to understand all european english accent im not sure.

As a Spanish speaker I find the video quite funny and instructive but the speaking speed of the American girl is getting on my nerves.

Kind of ironic that whoever did the subtitles doesn't seem to be able to understand what these people are sying. The Welsh guy, for example. Every time he says says "South Walian", the subtitles say "South Valley". Then at 1:18 when he says "With our dragons", the subtitles say "with sound tracks".

I love the English girl asking her “do you understand what everyone’s saying” zero faith in her to be able to understand four people speaking clear english to her

As someone from Ireland, I would have answered all of these differently than how Eoin answered them

I’m an older American and have never said “What’s cracking!” I have heard of the idea of it but never actually heard anyone say it & it was never traditional

“we say .. WHAT CRACKING” 😂😭😭🤣🤣 LMFAOO YEAH ONLY IN THE HOOD SHORTY LIT OFF THE ZA 🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸

Bog is a common one all around Britain I think. Maybe it’s originally Gaelic.

If you use dead as in 'dead wrong' why dead is used becomes more apparent. To be dead wrong is to be the most wrong that you can be. In this instance you can also see that the deadness itself carries the negative connotation that agrees with the negative of being wrong. It is a common thing to then take that and apply it to a word where the meanings disagree as in the provided example 'dead good'. In this case you retain the ultimateness of 'dead' while dropping the negative part of the connotation. The disagreement provides a jolt of cognitive dissonance which adds a little bit of emphasis when your brain resolves the meaning and feels really satisfying in bringing its point home.

In Scotland we say it's stoatin for heavy rain For the bathroom where's the cludgie or bog 😀

"Oh, yah, it's rainin' buckets out dere!" "Oh yah you bet! Wouldn't wanna be caught out dere wit' a broken down car, oh heck no!" "Yah, no, for sure no." - Average Minnesotan conversation.

I love the Irish "story" when you meet someone. Like i demand a tale now.

Someone should point out that there are many other less polite terms for "bathroom" that are commonly used in the US. I'm sure that's also the case in the UK and Ireland.

She's either super jet-lagged or been enjoying the devil's lettuce 😂 In Scotland kids refer to the toilet as 'the bog', or at least we used to in high-school trying to be cool! 😂

A lot of what the Welsh guy is saying is definitely typical to North Wales as a southerner, I'm like, I have not heard most of what he is saying.

I bathroom called a dunny in Australia. Us Americans also call it a can, head or latreen. America also uses the term water closest but it refers to a plumbing access.

As a black American, I think it would be also interesting to add an American who speaks AAVE to compare. BEcause, for like 3:35 we might say "That's dope!" or for 5:00 we might say "That's trifling." and I'm curious to see if these terms have made it across the pond (in either direction lol)

Hope to see Leigton more here, he has a good sence of humour😁👍 PS you should also add comparison of Welsh/Scottish/Irish languages

It's funny how many Irish terms are exactly what I would say. I'm Australian born of UK and Australian parents and Irish, Scottish, Welsh, German etc etc background. 💙

Funny in Scottish Gaelic the toilet is taigh beag which also translates directly to little house like welsh!

It's too late now with so many videos already made, but the background music is obscuring some of the words and the accents. No need for muzak at all but the content and the interactions of the speakers is very interesting and entertaining - thank you!

What about Australia🇦🇺 English, New Zealand🇳🇿 English And Singapore🇸🇬English.

Ty Bach is pretty similar in pronunciation the Irish teach beag "little house".

I'm not american, I'm indonesian but for me i'ts kinda make sense where queue sounds more abstract like it doesn't have any physical form, so for me it's more understandable to use "get in the line" in real life where you have the literall people stand on a straight line instead of "get in the queue"

The funny thing is...there are American accents that would be un-intelligible for Europeans as well. You just don't hear them with this, particular American. Southern or Appalachian English can be very difficult to understand...even for native American-English speakers.

Leighton where was Ych I fi? Or is that more South? I'd use ty Bach down here too

It means the same thing in Filipino and in most, if not all, of the other languages of, in, and from the Philippines, just like how it means, acts, and is used in Spanish, which is asking "How are you?", or something like or similar to that, or along those lines, but it may also act as the expressions and interjections: Hi, Hello, Aye, Ahoy, or Hey, in English.) [We also may add Filipino expressions and interjections like: Hi, Hello, Helo, Halo, Hey, Huy, Hoy, Ey, Uy, or Oy, at the beginning of any of those expressions above, and we may also add the Filipino phrases "ka namán" or "namán ka" for one person or individual, or "namán kayó" or "namán kayóng lahát" for two or more people, after the Filipino expression and question word "Kumusta".] 2.

We also may add Filipino expressions and interjections like: Wow, Ay, Uy, or Oy, at before "Grabe!", and we may also add the Filipino phrases "ka namán" or "namán ka" for one person or individual, or "namán kayó" for two or more people, after the Filipino word and expression "Grabe".) 3. That's disgusting! = Eww!/That's eww! = Yuck!/That's yuck!/Yucky!/That's yucky! = Hee!/Ee!/Eee! (a sound of or an onomatopoeia for disgust or being disgusted, just like "Eww!" and "Yuck!/Yucky!")

I don't know and am not sure if the other English accents, varieties, or dialects also say, do, use, or have this phrase.] 6. Where is the bathroom? = Where is/Where's the CR? = Where is/Where's the comfort room? ["CR" or "comfort room" is the most common and famous or popular word for "bathroom" as in specifically the "restroom, toilet, or toilet room" and not the room, place, or area where one takes a shower or a bath, and these words are one of the things that sets Philippine English apart from the other English accents, varieties, or dialects, but we may also say and use the words: restroom, toilet, toilet room, bathroom, lady's room (for female's and mostly said and used by, between, or among females or women), wash room, or wash area.] = Where is/Where's the bányo/baño?

when did he say anything about the bathroom in Irish? did i miss something? was it taken out of the video?

Language is such a peculiar thing. I imagine you'd get a lot more variety here if you had people of varying ages, socioeconomic backgrounds and geographic/cultural regions of each country. That's hard to really boil down for something as digestible as a 12-minute UKposts video, I realize, but this only begins to scratch the surface.

Also incase youre wondering we do have straight men in Britain.

In response to "where's the jacks", we sometimes say "where's the john".

Its really funny, how in Scotland and Ireland the use bucketing, because in Germany we also have the saying with basically translates to "It's pouring out of buckets" and i really like that term. Really cool to know that this also exists in other languages.
