“Wanna hiding” is probably the scariest sentence to come out of your parents mouth lmao
@@thegreatone7193 I wish mate lol
The Great One or when your in your room and they call you by your full name🤣🤣🤣
Nope. Its, "I just read your report card.....".
"wheres the jandal" is worse
Oh Yeah yeah DEADASS DOE
kJ reads slang: For example in rugby.....
LMAO
with the bois
Cause he misses it, had to stop playing so much or he couldn't act
sarah “The epic high and lows of highschool rugby”
Like is every thing in New Zealand about rugby is that the only sport
“Wanna hiding?”
I know that one too well 😂
Haha yup.
I get that everyday 😂
Mckenzie Beautiful Same, until the cops were involved 😂😂😂
@@xtxinx😂😂
same haha
I’m a kiwi and I didn’t know that half of these were actually slang words. I just thought that they were normal vocabulary that everyone uses.
Oi same
Same tbh
yea aye same
lmao i'm a kiwi and i've never used most of the slang in this video
A few of them are just normal things not slang but other countries don’t understand it so they say it’s slang
I had no idea this guy had a New Zealand accent. He does an American accent very well.
I just found out today. :o
I'm a New Zealander and I didn't know either
Found out today
Kinda like Tom Holland. Never knew he was British till I heard the interviews😂😂
American accents are easy to replicate
I’m a new zealander and didn’t even know that these were slang I just thought that they’re normal vocabulary worldwide... oops
Right, literally what I thought
Same....
Also some of them I thought everyone says
cabbage
Life Of Lucca okay...?
“Wanna hiding”
I got scared... when he is not even my parent
"Yeah-nah" "Nah-yeah"
Minnesota too
Pretty much most of the midwest - we use that in Wisconsin too
You guys say that in the US?! Wow always thought it was just NZ/Australia
Fellow Minnesotan, and that is very accurate. Can I get you a pop? Maybe some hotdish? Could play some duck duck grey duck too...
everyone says this. every english speaker. everywhere. in the world.
Tomace i highly doubt it. if it’s anything like he explained in the video i can assure you everyone does it
OMG HIS ACCENT HE COVERS IT ON RIVERDALE SO WELL😍😍
Yes he does! I wasn't expecting it when I first clicked this video!
The Randomyzer Same I always thought he was American cuz of Riverdale
The Randomyzer its bc kiwis can cover their accent really well
The Randomyzer yeah but listen to his ‘s’ sounds because they come out a little ‘sh’ sometimes
The Randomyzer ikr
*playing rugby with the bois*
QueenSince1997 ytb baha
QueenSince1997 😂😂👏👏
Every country except for america calls it rugby you know
ROYALE_BLOOD Productions rugby It’s a different game
@@rwnflk8233 I think you mean football and how they call it soccer in America.
no one:
kj: i pLaY RuGbY
?
I mean... He is kiwi.
It's like an American saying "I play football" or "I play baseball/basketball"
Peepee Train yeah but he said it a bunch ahaha
@@tatumdaubach9746 I mean that’s one of our main sports
You mean no one in America.
Because as we all know, if it's not known in America, it doesn't exist.
"our jandals is like everyone else's flip flops"
*cries in Australian thongs*
Aussies....
I’m Aussie and I still can’t say “thongs”... it just sounds wrong lol
sandles
Slippahs
@@heneriatapoutu4536 no surprises there
I just can’t get over how amazing of an actor he is. The difference between his voice in Riverdale and in real life really amazes me.
I know right
I'd have to agree -- that caught me off!
I always thought he was American
p c y whenever he’s playing an Mercian role and uses his Americanized accent I absolutely love the way he says “dog” like hotdog, dog it’s just the best it makes me chur
Go to New Zealand and you'll hear more of his accent.
*as an official new zealander i approve this video is accurate*
Same
same
agreed!
Hard out me to and they didnt use generic words like other vids they were actual ones we use
Same
Adding “as” at the end of words is another. Cool as, sweet as, munted as lol... classic nz speak.
Or like "that pie was mean as, keen for another one?"
Not many of these are that unique, these expressions pop up in Australia, the UK, bloody everywhere
"I'm beached as, bro!"
Every single kiwi in the world has said "Ayy" before
kpop in your area i want a cup of tae with a kookie
Yup 😂 even my two year old nephew
Yep. Kiwi, here. That's the word I use most.
@@bellawright7823
What's the meaning of kiwi please ?
@@lisajack5108 It's New Zealand's national bird, but we call ourselves Kiwi's. It means New Zealander to us, sort of. I guess you could call it slang
True, eh?
3:58 that little "aye?" gets me
@Tyrah Haami hard
@Tyrah Haami true and I love how we all new Zealanders use it
Very Kiwi. Love it.
M8 it’s aye
yeh always gets me when people use 'eh' to example "aye" i mean cmon...we all say "u know what it means aye?"
not "you know what it means 'eh'? "
unless your up north here then "eaaaah what?" is common but yeh..
His hair color is Honeymist Auburn
well honey, you missed auburn BIG TIME!
Not its actually brown.. His hair I'd dyed for the show
cheryl_lodge edits r/whoooosh
Omg lol!!!!!
It's electric copper!
I didn’t realise how much of a crossover between Aussie and New Zealand slang
”Yeah-Nah" and "Wanna Hiding" are the most frequently used slangs above the others. 😂 If you walk into every household, nearly all families would use this. It'd be hard to miss it
He never failed to mention Rugby. 😂👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
That's ok. Some of us kiwis are not rugby fans.
as a New Zealander this made me so happy.
Same😂
Yooo same buddy!!!!
Rory Allan omg same!
yesss
Rory Allan same
A lot of these are also British but slightly different for example we say “chocka but add “block” like oh this room is chocka block with people”
Chocka block is still used in NZ, though it might be a bit of a more older person saying these days
Yeah I hear my parents and grandparents use that expression a lot. For the younger generations it sounds a bit goofy.
You do realise Majority of people in NZ are of Polynesian British decent yeah?
Australia and New Zealand were colonized by Britain so duh
I say that, lots of countries have started to use it, my parents say it lots and they are kiwis
In some Kiwi subsets "Wanna hiding?" is followed by the "jandal" and then going off to "pack a sad" especially if you got a "mean as" hiding.
I think you and the teacher did more than a " yarn " lol.
OH MY GOD I'M CHOKING
😂😂😂
SMFH LMAO
U DIDN’T
HAHAH LMAOO
I've never heard him speak outside of his show and that accent threw me off but in a good way lol
It's also funny how his voice changes, or anyone's when they change up accents for that matter.
Same
Me toooo
Samee
as a new zealander i can relate to these on a spiritual level
I’m familiar with about 80% of these terms, who knew that Yorkshire English was so similar to New Zealand English 😂
Maybe cause we’re a British colony. Lot of our slang is rooted in the UK
@@ttoleafoa70 lmaoooo exactly hahaha
Yeah i'm half British but my dads a kiwi and i know almost all these terms
Same and i am Australian. Do you guys use the word chur in Yorkshire?
Well Emmerdale has been on our screens for years ;)
I always forget his voice is actual really deep 😂
I always forget he actually has an accent, lol
@@ilissajames2973 Every person on the the planet has an accent.. What? Did you think he just had a normal accent? XDXD
Yeah whenever he does Archie’s voice he’s higher pitched 😂
New Zealanders finding out these are slang and not real words.... unluggy brau
trueeee bro Im like how do you not understand what that means?! crack up
I was so confused when I saw some of those up there I thought that it was just common knowledge what those meant 😂
That’s New Yorkers with the word brolic 😭
Unluggy oose xD
Bro, it's the biggest mind f*ck finding out no one else uses these words on a daily. Bloody out of it I reckon
kj: we say jandles, everyone else says flip flops
aussies: are we a joke to you (we call them thongs)
Well, I mean... Do you really want an answer to that?
I’m Australian and my country has so many New Zealanders so I know all of them 💕
oi u know my aunty?
Lmaooooo
Aussie slang and New Zealand slang are pretty much one in the same
charlotte
No dipshit
@@vic_cresss sad guy
His accent is Everything
ScarlettP I see you everywhere!!!!
Everywhere
ScarlettP why are you everywhere
@@laurabohachevsky5856 literally !!!
ScarlettP we hate our accents in NZ 😂
Uce you forgot the most iconic one of them all...SWEET AS!
Ava Bessant and Choice
"cracked it" comes to mind also
Exactly
Yeah he forgot faipa'u too😂😂
@@patrickbartley356 LMAO that's Samoan
Yeah bro. This is legit. Seki a oe KJ. This guy has a full Samoan Dad - proud of you Kiwi kid.
Londoners in the UK: “That’s a different language”
Northerners in the UK: “Oh what do you mean New Zealand Slang?”
being a New Zealander I didn’t realise that most of these aren’t normal slang to the rest of the world 😂
Trinity Speedy same with Aussie slang. Most of this New Zealand slang is pretty similar to Aussie slang but it’s weird to think that everyone else in the world has no idea what we are talking about or what it means
SAME
Trinity Speedy and I’m over here in New York saying wow I’ve never heard most of these 😭😂
For Irish people we use pretty much most of these slang words
Some of these are in use in Canada or are similar. Wonder if theres a British connection given thats what links all three of us together.... Any Brits use these?
“Play rugby with the boys” is the most New Zealand/Australian phrase I’ve ever heard
Aussies dont play rugby its just nz
Your Australian aren’t ya
Errr yeah we do, we're pretty big on our rugby! Aussies are just good at sports in general
me to boo
Katie Licheni
Aussies play rugby idiot 😂🙄 who else are we versing when it’s the wallabies against us 😂
He’s so wholesome and pure omg 🥺🥺❤️
You're showing the New Zealand prides so well (I'm a New Zealander )
RIP to all the lives taken today in New Zealand💔
this isnt really relevant to a 3month old vid
Um excuse me, 50 innocent human beings have died.
@@asmaaabdul8929 way to miss the point genius
@PRIME Sauce stop liking your own commets lmao
Lil Fucci I came across the vid just now, so I said what I said. Cry me a river.
"wanna hiding?" just a smack 😂😂😂
a hiding is like a big punishment involving forse
When I was growing up, having a yarn with somebody was somewhat like sitting down and having a longer conversation than just passing time of day. A yarn was an interesting thing!
Oh my goodness , here is south Africa we also use the words bugger all , wanna hiding , chocka - chocka block . 😁😁😁😆😆😆
Don't forget we also use squizz sometimes too
His accent is music to my ears
Its sk weird to see people saying that since he sounds normal to me😂
marium amin Ikr😍 and it makes him so much more attractive
any new zealanders here who remember him on shortland street??? 🤠👊
Yes I remember
Wait he was on shortland street
Christo van der Merwe I didn’t know he was on Shortland street either
Yes! He was Kane! 😂 Dayna's brother lol that was around the time I used to watch shorthand street and then got really excited when I saw him on Riverdale 😂😂😂😂
YESSSSS HE PLAYED KANE !!
The one my family says a lot is "wanna hiding?!?" We still do😂
Alice mal
That’s not something to be proud about 😂😂 seriously
😂😂
@@vic_cresss still said, but doesn't happen, it's more used to put a kid in their place when they've been bad
@@TheAgeOfLyrics doesn’t happen? Tell that to my dad 🤣🤦🏽♀️
@@vic_cresss 15 years ago it didn't matter but, you can go to prison if you follow through with the saying these days
Oh no not the chur lmfao KJ you’ve been gone for too long bro 😂
New Zealand slang is actually kinda similar to British slang like woah I didn’t even know
That's what I was thinking
Jessica. A not really
Like yeah nah is the only one literally
Literally!!
@@lol-fp3pl No, most of these are really common in England. Not just that
As a Kiwi this is the most accurate nz slang translation out there! Chur cuzzie
Benji Vernon i rkn
The way he describes 'keen' makes it sound like it means 'hot for' but it's much more general than that. Keen is also used in the same as 'interested in' or 'up for trying'. It can also be used as a single word to mean mean 'i like it'
The caps typing “yawn” when he’s saying “yarn” ☠️😂 the ballsy ability to explain a “hiding” casually on vogue sent me, KJ you’re another kind of celeb man 😂👌🏽
In Canada, we use the word 'yarn' in pretty much the same sense - as in, "it was quite a yarn, wasn't it?" or, "it was quite a story, wasn't it?"
Omg when your kiwi and understand all of this.
It's gold when someone (Kj) is helping get the message across, people never understand me when I talk slang aha
ahhahahahah yea
I’m an Aussie and I got it all
Omg when your Aussie and understand all of this.
i didnt know the first one... im a disappointment to NZ
Lol very applicable to South African and Australian slang too
Joshifer Everlark I love ur profile pic and name
we kind of nick some of aussie slang occasionally, I think aussie do the same to us though
and British haha
bro who is England says these things 😂
wanna hiding is %100 South African
'Bugger all' is used in Britain too 🏴🏴🇬🇧 (quite a few are used in Britain)
Wtf? I thought bugger all was Australian😂 didn’t know kiwi’s said that
Australia and New Zealand have a lot of overlap in culture
Usually the South Island kiwis say it, usual farmer slang
danielle nah these are like mostly New Zealand’s there’s just loads of Kiwis living in Aussie that’s why it gets over there
People say bugger in the UK as well lmao like for example “you cheeky Bugger” 😂😂
We started it. Aussies always pretend..
My Mum's friend is KJ Apa's cousin.
I just found this out and I'm freaking out.
luck
Probaby 1 time removed
Uhh MAKE HER *YOUR* FRIEND
I'm mates with KJ's cousin. Seen KJ at my mates house before Riverdale
왕다나 wowww did you know he was about to blow up lol
Jandals. Because you need flip flops for the jand.
When I said that I sounded fob XD
No man. It's short for Japanese sandals. Jandals.
Actually it’s brown he just died it for riverdale so I guess in this video
No, you guys haven't got the choke
Thong
I want Camila to do this
A lot of these we use in South Africa 😂
Hiding brought back some memories
As a New Zealander I can approve that this video is acurate
British squaddd :)
#NewZealandsquad
Same here
Same bro
Yeah-nah...😄
we all love a new zealand orange shishtar.
You shishtar come thru with the slang
Chur
Shishtar better hold on to there cause its about to be snatched
im dying because of this comment
heyaitz_melinda Ranga,, JK🤣
A lot of these are so similar to Aussie slang. Love it!!
I love this, its soo good
*why do all these words sound like words I try to use when I need to swear but my mums in the room?*
A lot of these are used in England too.
Chur
As a brit living in NZ I can agree, I understood what most of these meant before I even moved here.
I love KJ Apa. Good teacher and good musician
Lol we have a few of these in Australia! I went to New Zealand last year and I absolutely loved it! The people are fantastic and I want to go again!
When he said a teacher calls you in for a meeting I thought of Ms grundy
Everyone is saying how cute his accent is but I'm a New Zealander too so I don't hear anything different :((
Lucy Olive , go hear another accent then :))
Lucy Olive yoo same haha I feel ya 😂 everyone’s obsessing over the accent but to me I don’t think we even have accents? Idk.. the way we speak is bland as haha
Lucy Olive I don’t hear an accent either hahaha
Lucy Olive same hahah
Same lol
I never knew alot of these thanks for teaching me
Not all of these, but I've used some of these phrases in Australia as well, never knew they were NZ slang!
The first accurate Nz slang ive seen😂
Sweet As/choice/Not even/Allgood/Skuxx/hardcase/hardout/Egg/Crack up/buzzy/shot etc etc.
Is something I was expecting in this video...
Yeah! Choice wasn’t there!
Yeah aye, rats they weren't in there
They should do a part 2 with Jimi or Taika haha
Aren’t the ones you’re suggesting mostly maori slang? 😂
Not even!
Omg I’ve wanted to go to New Zealand for ages it’s like my dream place
Very similar to South African slang too. Loved hearing these again!
I'm aussie and use all these words except for chur so thank you for introducing me to my new fav word 👌 Also I'd say 'give us a squizz' more like 'give us a look' than 'give us a go' but probs just different over there
Hannah Peart they know we are better than them so thy steal are words
I'm Aussie too but we must've grown up in opposite sides of the country because I haven't heard most of these words in my life.
Yea that's how squizz is normally used but we would also use "gizza" (gizz-ah) short for give us a ..., Gizza squizz/go/turn/bite etc.
Hannah Peart same! I use all of these, especially yeah-nah haha
I'm also Aussie and I too use most of these words
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE HAS AN _ACCENT???_
RIGHT??!?
This accent makes him way more hotter now omg.
same i just figured this out too
Everyone has an accent
American is an accent
A lot of these slang words are actually used in Australia, a hiding is a very frightening experience.
"Wanna hiding?" is the most popular phrase in all of New Zealand 😂
it fills my heart with pride knowing kj is out there representing new zealand ; pai ana tō mahi bubba, legit have so much overflowing aroha for you ay 💞
Every explanation ever -
Well basically if I was playing rugby as a kid ....
Awesome thanks KJ. Apa 😊💜
Very good teaching
the "yeah-nah" is a california thing too
What about "yeah- nah-yeah" or "yeah-nah-yeah-nah"
Kiana Izadpanah it’s an everywhere thing
well
Some NZ slang is outdated American slang lol they say “far out” a lot as a “no way” Every time I hear them say it I feel like I’m in the 80s
Gabriella Beecroft
Oh correct me if I’m wrong haha I’ve only heard my Kiwi friends use it that way is there another meaning to it then?
Munted also means broken... and you can be keen for things other than girls you wanna root. E.g if you’re hungry you could say you’re keen for a feed.
Theo Price-Sherrie he was just using it as an example
Itz Cayley Yeah and he’s right. I just wanted to clarify some other meanings :D
well obviously lmfao he's not going to give every example possible for each slang word
Yeah. WAIT, ROOT? NAW DAS AUSTRALIAN! ANGERY
KJ: "If yhe teacher called me in for a meeting..."
Me: "WAIT! Is the teachers name 'Ms Grundy' "
KJ: "Umm no comment..."
WTF this makes no sense
Wait isn't that the teacher on Riverdale 😂
You have to be unfairly good looking to pull off that hair XD
i live in nz and i say munted when something is broken or weird like 'that kennel is munted'
same haha
Same!
Same, I agree
Same, either that or if someone is drunk asf
Might mean like wasted or something. So if you were trying to say someone was drunk and wasted, munted can be used. On the other hand, an object can be broken or wasted, and you can say like “that kennel is munted.”
Just a thought.
I wonder why KJ APA was voted the most sexiest accent!
I'm New Zealander. Almost everyone sounds like that...
I'm a new Zealand. HE DORSNT HAVE A ACCENT
we have the worst accent, no one ever seems to understand what were saying, even worst that out slang is like 75% of our speech
I’m an Aussie and like I’ve heard at least more than half. And they are so funny. Luv this. 💕😂
I’m Irish and we actually use so many of these phrases
Yea, same. There’s only 2 or 3 I’ve never heard...
Where are my fellow kiwis?
Annabel Rhodes Aucklandddd
Hereeee
@@daniellabis217 meeeeeee
Kia ora
Bro
Kj apa is a really good actor
loves it !
i wish they add "giz a geez" (like show me, i want to look, i want to try) that's used more than squiz i reckon.
I say that all the time 😂😂😂😂 I'm so hori 😂🔫
I also use squiz/geez as in like, let me have a look. Idk if anyone else does. 😂😂
I was thinking the same thing
some of these are similar to British slang. interesting
We used to be a British colony, we're part of the Commonwealth, and our flag has the Union Jack in it, so they've had a lot of influence.
same goes for australian slang and most of these are used in australia
Annie Sanders , NZders are British lol
Did you ever learn any Aus/NZ history?
Ashley Basu - HAHAHAH exactly what I was thinking
When we used the word Squizz it meant to have/take a look
yea or have a go/take a turn
Jack, ghez is too have a look lol
Yeah I use it like that too lol
So do I
When I was a Kiwi living in Aussie I was surprised to discover how many "Kiwi-isms" were also "Aussie-isms" - lots of common slang but so many of these in the video are pure Kiwi 🙂 You nailed it! Did you mention sweet as aka no worries!
We use a lot of these in the UK, infact I probably used half of these words today alone
Brent ikr like “chocka” 😂😂
