Scotland sounds aggressive and fun

As a Scottish person who hears and uses this vocabulary on a daily basis, it’s surprising how many people are interested in Scottish lmao.

I love how he just laughs and enjoys it. Instead of being a teacher.

My Mum and Dad went to Scotland years ago, and while walking through a small village Mum asked an elderly gentleman walking his two Scottish terriers (in a rather broad Aussie accent I might add) for directions to the post office. He stared at her for a moment then said “Aye, sorry lass, aye cannae unnerstan a whirr yae seeyin”. Somewhat flustered Mum said “oh, oh, I see, thank you.” And they both went their separate ways scratching their heads in puzzlement. The thing that amazes me is that technically, they were both speaking the same language yet neither understood a word! 😂

I have a scottish science teacher, but i dont learn science, i learn how to speak scottish lol

Now I want to see James McAvoy and Gerald Butler having a Scottish slang competition.

Scottish ppl are genuinely some of the friendliest, funniest bunch i've ever met. Knew how to have fun, take life easy, hold their liquor, and to make fun of themselves. Had such fond memories travelling across the country, such beautiful lochs and glens and absolutely crackin people who're always willing to help you ❤️ if you ever have the chance pls come and visit, it'll stay in your heart forever!

"In Scotland, people are sarcastic pretty much all of the time." Sounds like my kinda shithole.

"One of our hundred thousand words for being drunk." LMAO

would love to have Gerard Butler screaming "GAUN YERSEL" as my ringtone and/or alarm clock every morning

It's funny how he never plays a Scottish person in any of his movies, even though he is Scottish.

It’s so cool to see how many people are interested in the way we speak, if your ever looking for a holiday destination consider Scotland we have plenty interesting things to do and we are very nice Fun fact: There are more people that have watched this video then there are people in Scotland

I love how the Scottish is atleast two times louders then regular speaking voice, as it should be.

Why scotish words sound like you are drunk all the time

I’m officially moving to Scotland. Sounds like a wee bit of fun.

Scottish accents are all about the voice and intonation. They had this distinguish sound that made the accents sound so bravery and barbarian.

If they ever make a live action Brave movie he should play the dad.

A friend of mine had Scottish parents. They visited my wife and daughter after my daughter was born at Naval Submarine Base, Groton. Her dad said "Aye, she's a wee bonnie lass." Makes me smile to this day and my daughter is 40.

The Scottish were always badass. Some of the fiercest fighters/warriors around. If you’re Scottish, or have Scottish blood, cheers! 💪🏻👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love Scottish folk. I also love how in media they're either brash Glasgow thugs or suave intellectuals and there is no in-between.

*YER BUMS OOT THA WINDAE*

I about died when he said a grocery list that contained potatoes, carrots, and turpentine...

It's really fun to listen to (not in a bad way), I think Scots talk with a lot of energy and their accent is beautiful

Everytime I watch this I still laugh when he says 'jobby', as a Scotwoman it's probably the thing I'm most proud of to come out of Scottish slang.

I have a thing for Scottish accents

Fun Fact: Gerry has been sober since his mid to late 20's. Probably the only Scot alive to be sober that long or at all, lol.

I just love him! He's so loud and his laugh is contagious! Perfect 🥰

When I was in Scotland, I was followed and stared at in the best way. I'm an American black woman. They were FASCINATED lol. Really fun experience... would love to go back

I always love hearing Scottish accent. It sounds unique.

I dont know why I’m watching this. 1. I know all this 2. I’m Scottish 3. It’s 2 AM Edit: Thanks for liking my comment....but why?

Gerard is absolutely hysterical, love his Scottish humour, love his acting!👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦❤️

As an Irish person, I'm loving how much of these sayings are the same as or similar to ones we use

“in scotland pretty much everybody is sarcastic all the time” i meannnnn he’s not wrongggg 🤪

The best accent period.

"Scraaan" "Scraaaaaaaaan!" "It means food." keep it down, Mike Banning.

I smiled through that whole video, it was just so enjoyable to watch. Love Gerard Butler very underrated actor

His mouth looks like he's storing peanuts for the winter bless him

I was in Scotland in '90. Spoke with a man there, couldn't understand a thing he said. There was a Welshman present. He laughed and said he could understand either.

It' s so funny hearing all of these phrases as a fellow Scot who uses the majority of them and realising how much people seem to like them.

I’m totally shocked that he didn’t mention “dreich” (pronounced dreeeechh), which describes a dull, damp and miserable day in Scotland. The weather is such a big issue in Scotland, and the word “dreich” is truly ICONIC! Love everything about Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😘😘😘.

I'm recommitting my love for Gerard Butler. Definitely down to earth and humble and adorable.

*Leonidas has gone off his fooken trolley.*

the fact that this very same man had a breath taking opera like voice 15 years ago astounds me.

❤ how the Scottish speak! So melodious to my ear!

"a sign of encouragement, not something you'll get often in Scotland." Lol.

This guy is hilarious.

My first introduction to Scottish slang ( sort of ), was a book by Terry Pratchett called the Wee Free Men. Had it not been for the " dictionary "in the back, I would have been so lost. Great book. Ahhh the Scottish accent, music to my ears.

Spent a few months in Glasgow in my early 20's, took me almost that long to figure out what they were saying lol. I used to think it was odd being called "Hen" by total strangers, but I miss it now. Is very endearing.

He seems like such a cool dude!

"O'right potatoes, o'right carrots, o'right turpentine" help pls 😭😂😂

Such a fun person with a beautiful heart and soul

I spent a few weeks in Scotland, and I loved how often the word "wee" turns up!

Nice to hear him speak with his native accent again.

I could listen to him talking for days

I loooove it! This is incredible fun and curious, these words aren't slangs they're dialects, hehehe and wonderful ones! I loved knowing a little bit more about them 😃 And mr. Gerard is such a good teacher, he even gives us some real life examples 😊

I am familiar with some of these expressions! Love listening to him say them with his accent!

He deffinitley could have played a dwarf in LOTR or Hobbit.

I'm Scottish, why am I watching this.

Scottish accents are so attractive I love it the slang is quite interesting too s like mashing words together but also making new ones up and putting those in there too

I like how half of the slang/Gerard's explanations are associated to being drunk. Truly Scottish indeed, 10/10.

I'd shiver whatever he says, seriously, Gerard Butler is the sexiest man on the planet. I've been saying this a lot, to a lot of people, but DANG he is a treasure.

“A big, big, big traditional thing with us, bringing the whisky and a piece of coal, and an ax if you’re not ok with the neighbor, but if you are, just stick with the whisky and the coal.”

omg i still in love with Gerard. this sealed it forever

This is adorable - love it! When we go to visit Scotland, I will study this info.

Uterus status: currently screaming at me

I love how excited he is while doing this😃

Gerard Butler could play Grounds Keeper Willy in a live action version of The Simpsons!

Next Word: Hiccup- my hero son who learned to ride a dragon

Keep in mind Scotland is a country so some of these slang words are more associated with different parts of the country - as there are different Scottish accents.

What a hunk.

Oh I could listen to this all day ❤️

I met Gerard Butler in 2005 outside of NBC Studios during a short meet and greet and asked for a picture with him, and he autographed my Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. He was so kind and genuine. I'll never forget that day!

scottland sounds like the best place ever

Greatest accent in the world. Even better than Ausie and Jamaican me crazy. Scottish is the best.

It's amazing, listening to this, to think what a great singer he is.

Growing in the states (the southeast), we actually used several of these words!! But it sounds so much nicer when Gerard says them! 🥰

I just love how Gerard cracks himself up! Seems like a fun guy. I love Scots and their slang.

I really hope Gerard gets to play a Scottish character in his next film.

When I was in Scotland, I learned some of this. It's funny to hear it! Loved it!

Do this for other countries too! I loved this one

he literally looks like such a fun person to be around

Is this like a secret episode of Outlander or..

He was amazing in Law Abiding Citizen...One of my most favorite movies. I'm always so impressed by actors who can totally drop their own accent for whatever role they are playing. Like HOW?? Just remembering the damned lines is tough enough, & then you gotta not talk like you normally do? Forget it. It's no wonder why actors bring in the big bucks! And I gotta say it... Gerard Butler is HOT.

Great Vid! I love how Scottish sounds very passive aggressive, like German or irish

gerard butler plays so many americans in movies this is probably the first time i’ve actually heard him talk in his scottish accent

*I'm killing my career one moment at a time yes you r sir* 😂😂😂

As an American, some of these make complete and total sense. "Rank" can be used exactly the same way here, it's just uncommon, and "wee bit" I think most people would know just means "a little". Or "bevvy" as short for "beverage". Even something like "gaun yersel'"; I'd probably be very confused in the moment, but it is just saying "go on yourself" with a Scottish accent, which is a bit like "go on with your bad self" -- a phrase many Americans would get -- so it makes sense. But "gettin' the messages" -- that one cracked me up🤣 I loved the explanation too. And I'd never have guessed "jobby" in a million years.

I think it’s funny that he changes out of his natural Scottish accent when he describes the Scottish terms.

Yep! Jamie Fraser made most of these pretty clear for me. Especially Bonnie Lass :)

One of the coolest least comprehensible accents along with irish.

Thank you for sharing!

He's so awesome. I still remember him as Leonidas in 300 (hey, he was great in that film! I think we can all agree on that!) But I know he's done a few other great productions since 300, like the Olympus has Fallen trilogy. I really need to watch those three films. They all look pretty good.

I love how much more Scottish he becomes 😂😂 we have the best slang in Scotland. Goan yirsel son 😂😂

He seems like a fun guy to have a beer with

I want to go to Scotland just to hear people talking like that all day long!

oh wow, some of these i've never heard, love it

I had no idea Gerard Butler was so frickin hilarious lmao 😂 This was definitely entertaining

I love how his shopping list is potatoes, carrots and turpentine.

We use a lot of those words or very similar here in Maine. there were a lot of Scottish immigrants in colonial days

Love hear Scottish talk . ❤
