My grandfather always said, "don't make fun of somebody with an accent, they speak one more language than you do."
And if you speak another lenguage you most probably have an accent too 😁
True dat we need to learn to appreciate people more
That's some deep truth. Thanks
Thank you for this piece of advice. I'll use it for sure. :)
I take that great piece of advice.. What's your Grandfather's name Mate?
"An accent is just somebody speaking _your_ language with the rules of _theirs._" Perfect! He put it into words!
It’s not true for every accent though. For example, it’s not true for British and American accents, those are just plain English, they’re not fundamentally influenced by another language.
@@Targivod I would argue that it IS - English, as a language, is BUILT from OTHER languages. It's a derivative and collection of rules belonging to preexisting languages, and even if it wasn't, cultures and peoples influence each other all the time. I think that saying that accents are not an example of that - even for people that speak the same language, is fundamentally incorrect.
Dialects, in their own right, are also separate languages. If what you said was really the case, then there is no reason for dialects to exist within a singular language - that English has no reason to have different rhythms - and god-forbid _rules_ for it's supposed to be the same. I mean, British English and American English follows different rules and sounds differently. Maybe it's not because one is influenced by French and the other by East Coast Native tribes, but that doesn't change the fact that these changes happened, and may have happened for those reasons. If nothing else, the US has a different culture than Britain, even with their shared history. That shows up in our spelling, so why not in our auditory expression of the language?
@Faith Mwaura
I totally agree with you on that. I just meant that an accent isn’t always the product of someone speaking one language, speaking another and putting its rules in it, like Trevor said. It is for South Africa, India and so on, but not for America and England for example, since those people always spoke English.
@@Targivod Oh okay, thank you for the clarification!
Deja Vu sounds more French than English, Americana or Straiyan alias Australian
I was always insecure when speaking English because of my accent but Trevor you just made me appreciate it a lot more. Thank you.
Don't be insecure hun
You should be insecure
We're bilinguals sis, let those racist be jealous and speak the only language they know
@@KhalidAli-jc7cv like you don't have an accent? Lol
Khalid Ali
You must be fun at parties. 🙄
As a french, the last bit is so inexplicably funny to me. The way he imitated french people trying their best to speak english was spot on.
Hahah j😝😝😝 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 trop drôle
Euuuuuh ......
😂😂🤣
Yeah youre right
Trevor's gigs are like a combination of a stand-up and a Ted Talk.
Perfect description - he has gotten me thru a lot over the last few years.
True I really love him
Ikr lol
Exactly my thought! What an effective way to absorb facts
All of us funny foriegners are really here to educate the most powerful nation. You dummies
This dude is not a comedian but an intelligent, brilliant, educator and simple wonderful teacher. Keep it brother
ruclips.net/video/4YGyj_KHnOE/видео.html
I agree
Finally someone got right, a teacher with a sharp wit is who trevor is!
Crack Funny Gimz he is a comedian though
Walking down the same footpaths of George Carlin, Mark Twain, Richard Pryor & many others.
This clip needs more attention. "An accent is not a measure of intelligence. An accent is someone speaking in your language with their rules."
This clip needs more attention. "An accent is not a measure of intelligence. An accent is someone speaking in your language with their rules."
I love that his jokes are so funny, he even cracks himself up.
As an Afrikaans South African , I can tell you that this is so accurate He has basically summed up almost every person I know
Wow thank you for not taking offense. I love you
I understand the accent thing too well. I grew up Afrikaans (not by choice, hahaha) and my Mom is German. So I grew up speaking Afrikaans with a German accent, and by the time I got fluent in English, people thought I was English because of my German accent! 🤣When I speak to people who have another language here in South Africa, I speak English with my slight German accent and people understand me. And out of the blue they switch to Afrikaans! Like, how did they know😂? Maybe I should start with "Guten Tag. Wie Gehts?" 😂🇿🇦
Trevor is super talented.. forget the global accents.. this guy can do atleast 20 african accents easily.. insane
Nah just five or six max
@@Makumbi makumbi south africa alone has 11 official languages.. We havent even gone into the difrent male and female accents/age diffrences, and various english accents within south africa alone.. Trevor has way more than 20 african accents in his arsenal..
@@robbholmes9215 yes, South Africa does and Africa several thousands more. But we are talking about Trevor. I don't know about you, but personally I have seen most of Trevors shows and the SA accents are about three that I will generalise (sorry) as black, white and coloured. Then he does West African, American and British. He also has a patios from the rasta types.... But 20? Really? As a performer?
@@Makumbi maybe you didnt watch the same video as everybody else if u catagorise accents as simply as black/ white/ coloured.. This video is alittle more indepth than that and im hear to tell u that trevor has atleast 6 diffrent "white south african" accents.. mayb you havent spent enough time with south africans but accents change in every province, real south africans know this and trevor can sound like hes from alll 9 provinces and thats the key to his comedy.. im dead serious, trevor has at least 20 south african accents, take ur "white/black/ coloured" accents and multiply them by 9 provinces.... very very very complex thing to do.
Robb holmes he bridges black and white.
Trevor does humour and educates his viewer at the same time. And this is why I love watching his videos.
Exactly
Hie express philosophy through humor. which gets into head and never gets boring.
Trevor is exeptionel
@Marianne your comment is spot on! Sending hearts to wherever you are. Be safe!
This was just him rumbling on to find an excuse for his American accent. His not funny at all.
"Don't pull a Charlize on us," I died😂😂
Love this! As an American who used to live in Zimbabwe... I once ordered a banana shake at an ice cream parlor. The server responded, "Ok, sa, so one vanilla shake?" "No, a banana shake." "Rrright, one vanilla shake." I had to change my accent, "Sorry, one baunaanaa shake." "Ok boss, one vanilla shake and one banana shake?" "Sure." I enjoyed two different shakes that day but ordered one.
Love this haha so true though
Nice story, haha.
Lol,good one
😂😂😂 oh Zim
😂🤣😅🤣
I personally adore accents. My father is Nigerian and still maintains a heavy accent. Language is a beautiful thing!
U r pretty
Way to sound creepy there, Jon...
You might as well have said:
"I love the way your skin looks! I will wear it every day!"
Ms brown. Like trevor said. You are a sweet chocolate.
Punani is punani guys
Life would be so boring if everyone had the same accent.
“An accent is not a measurement of Intelligence” Speak brother, speak.
@@CyberiusT true, that's something I need to remind myself of because I have a very generic way of speaking English, but I've grown up in a Mexican/southern accented town. So being apart of neither has made it hard to communicate and when I was younger, made me a huge dick
Rebecca Kamara preach it Trevor!
It should be in the Bible.
try having a southern accent
Regular Username it’s good that your realized that and now you are able to relate to people better because of it. So that’s good.

That sneak attack on Charlize lol
"Don't pull a Charlize,ah?

Lol Charlize like many white Afrikaaners struggle with English 😂😂😂
She said she learned English in America
😂😂😂
"Speak to others as you would to yourselves." We're all learning something, but we can teach and learn as equals. Love you, Trevor!
"An accent is not a measure of intelligence"
There are exeptions
@@Notmyname1593 No there aren't. It is not a marker of intelligence. It's an accent. That's all it is.
@@slicusdadon There are intentional accents that are mostly adopted by idiots.
While that's true, that doesn't alter the fact that most people DO judge you by, among other things, your dialect, which includes your accent.
I'll have to disagree, to some extent.
People, who can learn different accents, and master them, sure do posses a higher degree of linguistic intelligence.
I was so stupid thinking I could watch this at night with my wife sleeping next to me whilst trying to be ninja-silent and not laugh my brain out... I was SO stupid!
Omg was she mad? I know u laughed super hard
I woke my mom up I laughed so loud!
Haha, you are lucky you could post the comment, sometimes people end up in the hospital
Lol
@Salt Salt there again!
I'm French, and this accent, is damn accurate ! Lot of French people do not make the effort to learn the accent ! (And yes we always say "euh" when we're thinking)
Not just the accent I once met a French girl who came to visit South Africa for 6 months on exchange. Her English was average at best and the entire time she was here she mostly hung out with other French people and her English barely improved. Was kinda sad.
@@jacquesstoop2587 Well, I guess the exchange was not that much to improve her English but mostly to party uh ?
Many French people don't put any effort in the English accent or in English in general because at school you get laughed at if you try to speak English properly !
People are ashamed to speak English so they don't put any effort in it !
@@BrinK-s Not just that but the European French can be incredibly cruel to anyone that has a different French accent than theirs. My grandma had friends from a french community in Northern Ontario who vacationed in Paris once. They were treated so badly because of their accents that they never returned to visit France. The catch is, many of those same French who criticize others' accents don't even speak another language without an accent either.
@@mish375 Careful, Parisian French are jerks and are well known for that ! Even in France itself. I live in south west of France, and not so much people will tell you they like Paris and its inhabitants around here ! For them, their way of speaking is the norm. Where most of true parisians don't understand how it is to live in medium or small cities ! For them, going outside Paris is considered going in a rural place, like it's the countryside !
@@BrinK-s Sadly, they give all of France a bad reputation. I'm sorry to say that France's reputation on friendliness here in Canada...it's not good. I think the only big city in France I've heard of that's chill to outsiders is Marseilles. But that could be because it's a port city and used to different accents due to trade.
Basically my grandma's friend said she had never been treated so badly anywhere she had ever been as she was treated in France. She said in Paris they were treated like backwater hillbillies that were uneducated. She left with the impression that she should have just communicated in English. In fact, she told me that I should never attempt to speak French with any European French person if I ever visit the country. She said if she was treated badly, then I (who am trying to learn French) will be treated even worse. I certainly have trouble with my accent and speaking as they don't focus on that in Canadian schools. But I can get by with reading/writing. Nowhere near perfect, but it's better than nothing, I guess. From what I was told: pretend you know no French at all because everyone speaks English there anyways and you'll be treated much better.
Sheesh, it sounds like Paris is the same issue we have with Québec here in Canada. Even the non-Québec Francophones say they're @ssholes. They aren't the whole country, am I right?
"Life taught me not to be so quick to judge".... Golden words... Hats off man!!

It means "it's/it is". So when he says "ehhh papa ke Trevor", he is saying "hey man, it's Trevor". 😊
The way South Africans imitate French while in French restaurants reminds me of how Americans imitate Spanish when in Mexican restaurants. I'm looking at you, Texans. You couldn't just eat, could you? You had to say "gracias for the nachos, amigo" 💀
Haha, I was once talking to my Chilean friend and telling her a recipe which included cilantro. She didn't know what I was saying I started to explain, and then I stopped and said, " yes you do. Cilantro!" we went back and forth a few times and then I said, "Oh sorry! Ceeee-lahn-trrro." Then she knew exactly what it was. 🤣🤣😂

"Accent is not a Measurement of Intelligence"
Well said Trevor Well Said ✌️
My Australian mum never lost her accent, and my dad lived much of his life in the American south, so I grew up hearing accents. Naturally, I learned to pronounce some words with either accent and others took on a combination of both. Even now, I’ll sometimes be asked where I’m from because the listener can’t place my “accent”. I love hearing how people from different places speak. It makes the world seem like the most wonderful party, a party everyone wants to attend.
Totally relate. Moved to Oz nearly 20 years ago with my mixed NM/Tx/Tn accent and have tried and tried to lose it. I so want to speak Aussie like an Aussie. It ain't gonna happen. I have managed to modify it enough so people are not quite sure if I am a Yank or Canadian, so there is still hope.
I'm Australian, but the vast majority of voices I hear throughout my day.. are American (US). Due to the internet primarily. So I say a lot of words the American way, and my pronunciation is a weird mix.. sometimes people think I'm Canadian.. or English. It's certainly not your usual Australian accents (but on the spectrum, it's to the "cultured" side). My girlfriend is the same.
It's interesting, because this is people growing up, all over the world. So it will be interesting to see how this changes accents around the world, in many years to come. It will get more and more noticeable too, since then others in their own country won't sound quite like they used to. So it won't just be from the internet.
@@Siberius- My Old Fella and I were only a few weeks away from our wedding and my joining him in Oz when I discovered that he was also an immigrant. He had arrived from Germany when he was in his early 30's as a "30 mark Kraut", the equivalent of a "10 pound POM", but his accent has no taint of the German, except when he cusses. He was so determined to be Australian that he joined Rostrum, and that enabled him to train himself to the point where even other Germans question his claim of being one. It can be done. NW WA is so varied in it's population origins that if you meet 2 people with the same accent you can be sure they are siblings.
@@trinaholman4083 Just be aware that "old fella" can be slang for penis. If people look at you strangely for calling your partner that, that's why. ;)
@@frolickinglions Yeah, true in many places. But coming from an Old Sheila it means "My Old and Decrepit Husband", to whom I owe everything 'cause he rescued me from the insane asylum before the inmates took over. ;p

Great comedian with pure intelligence...no one can touch sensitive issues with comedy like you😊😊😂😂
As a Canadian who lived in South Africa I can tell you that if I didn't fake my accent OFTEN, people just wouldn't understand me. Try ordering a burger at a drive thru in a Canadian accent and see how far you get! Ahhhh I miss it so! You're always in my heart South Africa! 💓
come back! haha
Lol dudey I can just imagine having you infront of me in a drive-thru 🤣🤣🤣
If you are back in the Americasthen good luck with the growing sjw/snowflake/npc movement over there! May free speech prevail!
Lol I'm South African who lives in the USA since I was 18, now I'm 44. Now I have my own accent coz I don't speak like neither South African nor American. When I lived in the South they have a country accent kinda lazy but NY is super fast. So I had to pick up everybody's accents so I have my own. When I go home they expect me to have an American accent
Can't south africans understand canadians ?
The South African trying to order a burger in a Canadian drive through isn't understood either. That's why they end up with the wrong food.
Hey South Africans, this guy is probably the best ambassador you have. He highlights so many beautiful colours of your country. I feel like it's a place that needs to be visited at least once in a life time. It's because of him. South African tourism ministry should work with this guy.

MR Br “Boerewors” is a South African style sausage (staple food) and if you were a South African you would understand how funny it is for a French person trying to pronounce boerewors in a south African accent...
@MR Br it's one of those things that you can't explain
@@kefentsesathekge4199 i'm french and when i went to SA for the first time, i went to a restaurant and i tried to order that dish lol, but i didn't even try to pronounce it haha even with the rules of my language it's impossible to pronounce lol
@MR Br It's hard to understand if you have trouble hearing the accent changes. He was speaking English with a French accent and then switched to what I assume is a South African accent just for the word "boerewors", which is a (tasty) South African type of sausage. I can't recognize a South African accent either, so I'm sure it was a lot funnier for the live audience.
Being French, I can tell you how good is imitation is !

He can even do fake accents.. Such a gifted man!! Love him! ❤
Trevor was sent to us by God to help us ( the races of the world)understand each other & get along!!!!&❤❤❤❤❤ Greetings from Germany , Black German Community 🙋🏾♀️👍🏾❤
Well said!
Also lived in SA for some years- just cracked up when he imitated different accents from there, excellent XD
"Ohhhhhhh Threvaah! Why you don't talk properly?"...I died right there🤣🤣🤣
You know mate ... there’s no other way to say this than you are A Treasure!
Yep, a real TREJZHA !
Treasure Noah.
@grannyzeebee You time travelled to steal this thought from me, mate
Sheesure?
Rishabh Pal.....he he he :)
"why don't you talk properly" killed me 😂
why you don’t talk properly
Treva you're the best , sharp man . Tot siens
" An accent is someone speaking in your language with their rules."
"if you lose your accent, don't come back" 😂
"Accents are not a measure of intelligence" wow this makes me sooo happy
⚡⚡⚡🔌
I learnt one very important thing in this episode is the accents. 'Accent is not the measure of intelligent, but its someone tries to speak your language with the rules of theirs '. This is a bonus for me in watching your videos.
I love accents!!!!!! I love asking people where they are fun and chatting about it. The world is small and we are better together than apart.
I'm an Indian but biggest fan of Nigerian accent... Love it 💞
I'm a Nigerian
@@sunmisolashobande550 good job dude
@@sunmisolashobande550 I am not

@@Roaringsquid what good job did he do? 😂😂😂
"Don't come back" if you lose the accent 💀😂
“Lose”
I miss trevor just being like this.. than him seeing on social distancing show
Me too
Everytime i'm having a hard time...i watch his video to revive myself...Bro you're truely gifted ❤
"It's Trevor" "Shova?" "No, Trevor." "Shovel?" I love this oh my god.
That's just an exaggeration for the joke sake, he knows not even an illiterate person can miss the usual pronunciation of his name here in South Africa 😅 that's a bad exaggeration
Gosh
E Papa ke trrrrevorr
I'm South African and have now lived in the States for 25 years and I've still got my accent. I'm proud. I friend of mine came to visit for 2 weeks and she had an "American " accent😁😁😁
ahahahaahahahah! i know those ones....😂😅
That’s just so weird 🤣
I had a girlfriend from New York, I'm from Johannesburg, by the time we broke up I was saying things like:"you wanna cawfee," or if I was mad :"I'll put da cement boots on ya".
Thank you, Trevor, for smart amazing humor! Bless your ❤
Someone finally explained it. I always hate when people do my accent out of ignorance. Making my accent and language seem dumb but at least someone's aware of how we feel 😊
I love when Trevor laughs at his own jokes.
Trevor is the master. I love watching him. So incredibly intelligent. His stand up always has a message. Thank you for the education and the laughs
Damn, this dude always change people's moods whenever they are angry🤣🤣🤣
I love this guy he is rare he doesnt swear every 2 seconds like other comedians
I love that his jokes are references to South African culture but even as an American not knowing the specifics they're no less funny 😂😂
When I speak in my Jamaican accent
People don't take me seriously, they always want me to say "Mon".
If you humor them it fulfills such a fantasy that your charisma increases like crazy. I'm Swedish so I get asked "how do you people pronounce IKEA?" Then they are super disappointed because it doesn't sound exotic. 😂 Then I get asked if the names on furniture are real words. IKEA has become a part of my identity here in the US lol
@Miss Dor's daughter it sound like it to them though
@Miss Dor's daughter Movies ie. Cool Runnin
@@AmbiCahira ugh that's so annoying. I guess your other choices were Elsa and the girl with the Dragon Tattoo? At least you were not born two or three decades earlier. Then the question was are you on the Swedish Bikini Team. To this day iDK if it was a joke on a comedy show or if there ever actually was a swedish bikini team. And if so, who did they play against? Was it a full contact sport?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Why is this so funny
Smart and genius. Deliver serious matters through commedy. Hats off
Thank you for this Trevor! I am a forever fan and can relate to this 100% as a foreigner in London. I used to always get picked on about my accent in my fancy ass job and because I was so young that used to make me feel less intelligent than the native English speakers but with time I learned to stop devaluing myself because I wasn’t born in England and speak with an accent.
How do you lose your accent? Be Gary Oldman apparently. He's played so many Americans over the years that he's needed a dialect coach to help recover his natural speech patterns.
It isn't natural speech anymore then
@@Johnny-tq9no He obviously means original natural speech patterns. The American accent wouldn't be natural anyways because he forced himself to learn it.
@@hamstercow6219 lmao his natural speech.... there is no one natural accent.... your accent constantly changes based on what day to day speaking habits you pick up and integrate into your own speech. consciously learning a new accent is the only way to have an unnatural accent
Where’s he from?
Hamstercow : "The American accent"? I'm assuming you mean whichever one he's doing for a particular role at any given time, because there are numerous American accents.

Guy: Shrelfa.

I just love it when he laughs to his own jokes.
