PART 2 OUT NOW! All about the slang, dialect and accent of oor wee city on the East coast of Scotland, Dundee. Here's the article I mentioned: www.scotsman.c...
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
I was on a local Dundee bus in 1980 and overheard two old ladies chatting away: Word for word: "See meh man?", "Eh", "See mince?", "Eh!", "Meh man loves mince!" And that was that. They sat silently for the rest of the journey - It still makes me smile 'till this day!
I'm a Dundonian born and bred and it's really nice to see someone taking such an interest in our language/dialect. However, having lived in Dundee all my life, I can't really say I've heard "acht" being said but I have heard "echt" being said, mostly from my elderly family members. The same can be said for the word "onion", as I've not really heard "inyin" being said but I have head "ingin" (pronounced "ing-in") being said. Please don't feel like I'm correcting you however, as that's not my intention, perhaps there's just two pronunciations of the words? Anyway, it was a great video which I really enjoyed and I thought your accent when saying the words was pretty spot on and I would love to see a part two! 👍
Part 2 up now! And thank you for giving your corrections :) - as soon as RUclips gives me permission to add overlayed annotations throughout videos, I'm going to pop some in here to correct any mistakes. Glad you enjoyed Part 1 despite corrections needing to be made!
Eh ken man least she iz nae bad at it iy 😂 hir "eh's" are a wee bit sheggite but iver all clued up, voice iz nice tae so least maks the accent sound less like a microwaved Keillor Centre 🤷♂️
I’m Canadian, dad was from East Kilbride, near Glasgow. Great video, most of it’s completely new to me. Only dialect I ever learned was around Glasgow.
Fabulous! As an half-Australian, half-Dundonian who speaks Australian and teaches English, I love this!! Makes me so happy as you pretty much only hear west coast weegies slang here. /ken/ may be used across Scotland, but never to the same extent and variety it is in Dundee; would definitely class it as Dundonion slang, eh hen.
About to move there soon, this is pretty interesting research for me. I like places where they stick to their old ways when it comes to language. In the UK I enjoyed living in Dudley (somewhere in the black country). There's alot to learn about languages from places like these. Looking forward to being asimilated :))
Many years ago I took a friend to Dundee while on vacation in Scotland, I mentioned to her that everyone in Dundee had a brother called "Ken" after a short time there she realised what i meant...... KEN !!
As a dundonian i find this very funny having my grandparents accent described to me like it’s just strange I was just trying to describe how junkies talk to an American
Hi Evie. Im Dundonian, just having a wee nosey, I love seeing someone enjoying this brilliant City. No one can say we are not full of originality. haha good luck in everything, im gonna subscribe
Really enjoyed this. My American friends (actually any friends outside Dundee) used to make fun of me for ending every sentence with “ken”. Who’s this Ken you keep talking about? My accent is more mid-Atlantic now so I only say it now when I’m drunk or get into an argument with my mum 😅
In Ayrshire we say - ye ken? Ken = Know or remember/recall Sometimes we even shorten that down to just - ken? It gets used at the beginning of a sentence as well. It totally depends on the context of what is being said. Ayrshire - Ken that time we went tae the pairk anaw those wee neds showed up? English - Do you remember/recall that time we went to the park and lots of little delinquents appeared? Ayrshire - Whit wis aw that noise last night? A cudny sleep, ye ken. English - What was all the noise for last night? I could not sleep, you know. Edited to say, I've just caught up on a comment that says you have lived in Scotland all your life. So that answers my original question :)
When I first came to the city in 1977 one of my new colleagues asked me if I knew any French and wrote this down, “Mai oui breure failaf ǎ pletti en é breux ezeram.” Happy days. Anyone from Dundee care to translate?
wow im a dutchman and when i heard the numbers its almost exactly the same as in dutch! This video is proof that english, dutch and german have the same origine.
A hidden language that was considered a myth is also spoken in Dundee. Eggy language. Heggelleggo beggoy. ( Hello boy ) I know a few people that speak it fluent and it sounds nuts haha.
Great video and really interesting. I dont no much about scottish gaelic but there are a lot of similarities in sounds to Irish Gaeilge, especially in the numbers. One in Irish is aon pronounced pretty much the same and 8 is ocht. I'm guessing that these are gaelic derived.
I’m from Dundee and the word “belter” can be used for good and bad for example… “he’s a belter” (idiot) or “that’s cars a belter” (smart) I’d say it has a double meaning.
Funny, the numbers are similar to the German numbers: 8 is acht in German. 7 is "sieben" which we pronounce "seeben". 1 is "ein" . I want to learn about Scottish Dialect as I was born in Dundee, but grew up in Germany. Greetings CreeYuWan
I'm delighted that people are enjoying the videos as much as I like making them! Also, how interesting to hear about the similarities with German. I'm learning Italian at the moment but have been thinking about starting to learn German on Duolingo! Sending best wishes from Scotland to Germany!
@@EvieSpeaks thanks for your answer, Evie. After listening to all of your video, I have to say, that's probably it for similarities with German... I don't understand a bit of Scottish Dialect. 🙂 Seems to be a lot of work learning it
@@creeyuwan2733 Some Scots Dialect can be tricky, I understand :), and people kind of use it randomly along with standard English here and there. Sometimes I use dialect a lot and sometimes not at all - it just depends on who I'm speaking to! Here's a video I made in September about genera; Scottish dialect basics that you might find interesting
Ah dinnae/dinny ken is said in Ayrshire :) Different spellings for preferences :) After moving from Glasgow to Ayrshire, the lingo rubbed off on me. I once said "Ah dinny ken" to my cousin who still lives in Glasgow and he said "Who the eff is Ken?"
thank you for this! i'm playing willamina fleming (one of the "computers" who helped get hubble into space) in a play about her colleague Henrietta Leavitt, and this is where she's from! i wanted to have less of "general scottish accent" and more of "i have an idea where she's from and what she'd sound like"
Steak p’eh a mince P’eh - I always learned ing’in suppose it’s Pronounced as in shopp(ing) rather than than it’s contracted version in the shoap ((like Sean Connery pronouncing soap)in’ same as the work in, pronounce with the eh dipthong eh for “i” )) Ing’eh’n eh’n en ah.
i was born and raised in dundee,havent been back for years though,you certainly know yer dundonian,right,im off doon the chipper,tae get a peh for ma denner
Which accent can be understood easier for someone who speaks English as a second language? Do you think if Dundee or Glasgow is better to move? Actually I moved to Glasgow on 01 jan 20 and realised we can do our business online. Therefore, I wanna move somewhere nicer. But my main concern is my son. He is 9 years old and going to Primary School. I don't want him to have hard times in the school. If it is going to be a disaster, I'll rethink about it.
You're about 90% there. I've never heard a Dundonian saying ache. The older generations might say echt for eight. Two plan pets an' an ingin' and ana. Ingin' pronounced like singin'. You can can complete the sentence with "and eh eht it ah". Never pronounce the t's.
Weird thing I've noticed... quite a lot of this isn't too far from how us Geordies talk. Then again, shouldn't be surprised two cities on the same coastline with a lot of Irish influence are similar...
@@eagle003 There's a place name nearby Dundee in Angus which perfectly illustrates what you're talking about. It's Friockheim - "Friock" from the gaelic for heather, to which was added -heim at the request of Flemish weavers who were there to develop the flax spinning process. I've nipped that line from wikipedia where they give a source.
Most of this dialect is only used by those who fear outsiders, regardless of the city. Plenty of Scots don't limit themselves to backwards gibberish. Most scottish people who interact with tourists can speak in a way that can be understood, much like the girl in this video 👍. Have no fear, tourists
Don't worry, I've lived in dundee for 7 years, a lot of my pals are from here and I consulted with them on making this video :). Every speaks differently I guess! Wanted to give a general overview, and unfortunately can't cover all the subtleties in a short video
@ Evie "An an ingin een an ah". It's "ingin" rhyming with singin' (a song). "Ingin" is used in other parts of Scotland too. Really enjoyed your video 🙂
My mum is from northern Ireland and my dad's Scottish but he moved around a lot as a kid, so my accent is a bit of a mix! I've lived in Scotland all my life - born in Edinburgh, then lived in the Scottish Borders, and now in Dundee :). Really glad to hear you liked the video!
I'm from the East of Australia but moved to the West when I was young, and one of the first differences I remember noticing in the language was that over in Western Australia people would often end their sentences with "eh?" meaning "isn't it?" Of course in an Aussie accent, it's a longer diphthong "ay" sound, but I wonder if perhaps there was a Dundonian influence on the West coast here in the early days, that did not apply to the East. Thanks for the insight into your part of the world!
Canadians are always being made fun of for ending sentences with eh. Now I can see where some of it may have come from. East Coast Scotland (among other places?).
I have never seen a Dundee TV Soap Opera or a detective programme. The rest of the UK (or even the Weegies) just do not understand. The closest is Rebus.
Good attempt Evie. It's definitely not an easy accent/language to learn. One thing to note, and something that's common is with words like 'bairn' it is said as bairn, but as bair-in. Addin vowels is a common trait in Dundonian. removing consonants is another trait, that throws a lot of people, for instance, we will often replace a consonant with a 'gutteral stop' so, a word like kitten would be said as ki - in with the t's missed out and replaced with the gutteral stop.
10 past 2 in the morning learning about my own accent fs

8 is said "Echt" or "Aicht" rather than "Acht" (which is German).
"Onion" is ingin (rhymes with singin) - (not inyin) - "ingin ane an a"
My ancestor that came to America was from Dundee. I'm excited to have some Scottish roots! I still have the cursed English smile though....

"Eh" has about 30 different meanings tho lol ;) Dundee man here "Eh there meh fev peh's" has always cracked me up
But can she speak eggy
In Ayrshire we say - ye ken?
Ken = Know or remember/recall
Sometimes we even shorten that down to just - ken? It gets used at the beginning of a sentence as well. It totally depends on the context of what is being said.
Ayrshire - Ken that time we went tae the pairk anaw those wee neds showed up?
English - Do you remember/recall that time we went to the park and lots of little delinquents appeared?
Ayrshire - Whit wis aw that noise last night? A cudny sleep, ye ken.
English - What was all the noise for last night? I could not sleep, you know.
Edited to say, I've just caught up on a comment that says you have lived in Scotland all your life. So that answers my original question :)
Growing up my parents would say 'Did you eat your tea'? I would reply 'Ah et it a'. I ate it all'.
When I first came to the city in 1977 one of my new colleagues asked me if I knew any French and wrote this down, “Mai oui breure failaf ǎ pletti en é breux ezeram.”
Happy days.
Anyone from Dundee care to translate?
I've got some of it. My younger brother fell of the landing (external in old tenements) and he ?????
Broke his arm 😅
Sounds a wee bit Germanic. Like it! Greetings from TX! 👏🏻

This video is proof that english, dutch and german have the same origine.
My favourite accent x
I'm From Dundee!

Ey oy beggoy
Some o the scheme boys in Annan spoke that eggy language
It's ECHT for 8 and INGIN" for onion.

It almost counting as we Frisian do (neighbors across the Northsea). ien twa treie fjour fiif seis, sân acht njoggen tsien. and more words are similar
I have sooo many other words for belter 😂😂😂
I wonder if that is where Canadians have developed using "eh" at the end of their sentences.

If you're from a Muslim country you're better going to England.
So eh is basically like "ne" in japanese
The word for 8 is the same as in German. Klingt auch genauso, müsst ihr mal drauf 'Acht' geben 😋
Dundee numbers are heavily Norse influenced (and Norse is a Germanic language). They also use 'ein' for 1, which is Norse/Germanic.
I know. I just love how that [x] sound in the throat is unfamiliar to standard English but used in Scots/Scotish dialects and Scouse.
An other one in Frisian; Bairns = bern 😁 pronounced exactly the same
Five meat pies and an onion one as well
My head hurts.
I'm a Dundonian born in england. When I say that I mean my ancestors are from Dundee
♥️ & I'm a fifer
You're about 90% there. I've never heard a Dundonian saying ache. The older generations might say echt for eight. Two plan pets an' an ingin' and ana. Ingin' pronounced like singin'. You can can complete the sentence with "and eh eht it ah". Never pronounce the t's.

Weird thing I've noticed... quite a lot of this isn't too far from how us Geordies talk. Then again, shouldn't be surprised two cities on the same coastline with a lot of Irish influence are similar...
When you were pronouncing the numbers, you were talking Flemish (Belgium)
The Flemish came to Scotland to enrich their fibre industry, so that's why so many terms are almost the same (commenting as I watch the video :'))
@@eagle003 There's a place name nearby Dundee in Angus which perfectly illustrates what you're talking about.

Two is Deux in French. Three is trois - not twa
And I thought Glaswegian was difficult😂😂😂
That's not really dundonian up in the north east
Is the same. Try fraserburgh .
But as for the eh at the end if sentences that is fairly dundee
It's Echt and ingin
An’ fehve no’ fev.
Do you have an Instagram account? My dad was born in Dundee and lived in Wormit.
Eh wid say "echt" not "acht".
Eh'm a Dundonian eh ken this. 👍
Do you know Dundonian is a dialect of the Scots language not the English language?!
Echt is 8, ehleevin is 11,
Viking Scots
Vikings were slaughtered in Dundee by Picts at Carnoustie. Apparently.
Us doric are aye forgotten 😕
Is there a connection btw Dundee and Cocodrile Dundee?😁
unfortunately not! hahaha

@@paolotubo74 great hat though! :D
8 is echt
Silly mistake of mine! Thank you 😂 I filmed a part 2 to this yesterday which I've fact checked thoroughly
Acht - is that no German?
Dundee dialect is literally just Glaswegian merged with Aberdonian, it's translatable but very different. Quite interesting to learn
It really isn't.
@@ryanfitzpatrick4181 it's similar, of course they have their own words but they share similar sounds to glaswegian and aberdonian.
Glaswegians don't elongate their syllables the way Edinburgh and Dundee and Inverness do
It’s more like a stronger Edinburgh accent
Aem dundonian
Aww no I can't even speak my own Dundonian accent.
Ingin. No' inyin
No wonder Americans can’t understand me !!!
Ingin not inyin
Eight is echt not acht
It’s sad how I’m watching how to talk and my own accent
Most of this dialect is only used by those who fear outsiders, regardless of the city. Plenty of Scots don't limit themselves to backwards gibberish.
Most scottish people who interact with tourists can speak in a way that can be understood, much like the girl in this video 👍.
Have no fear, tourists
Some of these are actually some Scottish Gaelic the true traditional Scottish language totally different from Scottish language

Canadians are always being made fun of for ending sentences with eh. Now I can see where some of it may have come from. East Coast Scotland (among other places?).
Close, but no cigar - just a few wee points. The number 8 is pronounced ‘echt’ and not ‘acht’ and it’s ‘ingin’ not ‘inyin’ - hope this helps 😉
