Heard any similarities between your dialect and that of Newfoundlanders? Comment below some of them 💃💃
I am in the Bay Area (California), and we speak Ebonics (or a variation of) a lot, but can clean it up if needed. The similarities between these two dialects are uncanny. Thanks for the video.
Irish people would say mudder = mother dat= that basically th turns to d what are ya at and what's after happening now are all said regularly here in Ireland hows shes cutting would be more like rural areas of ireland and hows she getting on or are u getting on defo irish you dont no nobody with nothing going wouldn't be something that would be said regularly but I knew automatically it's more like you wouldn't know anyone needing something done would you i.e a job lots of things sound the same as we would say and pronounce but some sounds amish
CharisMaggie TV I am a Newfoundlander, so I think I sound like a Newfie
CharisMaggie TV all of them because I am a Newfie born and raised!
elissa vids awesommmeeee😎😎
I'm from the west of Ireland and I almost fell off my chair when he said How's she cutting, that's my number one phrase for confusing non-Irish people and I'm so delighted that its legacy lives on
lailedcat 🤣🤣🤣
When the potato famine happened, England kicked out some Irish people and you guys washed up here, not a surprise we sound similar to you guys lol
@@lyfehaxandtrix3481 Most of the Irish in NL arrived before the potato famine. These Irish in NL also went back and forth to Waterford and Wexford for a while before finally settling in NL permanently. They were brought over as fishermen by the Bristol merchants.
@@lyfehaxandtrix3481 ye no that's not what happened
There are many Irish descendants that live in NL, as well as many other Europeans Like Scottish and English.
I grew up in western pei in eastern Canada and a lot of us talk similarly. Newfoundlanders are the best people on earth. Amazing people.
Matt Gallor they really are 💕
Whatever. Kiwis are the best !! So there
CharisMaggie TV nah
Damn you managed to trigger some butthurt jealous kids lmaooo 👀👀
Hi my new friendlander
This is one of the best explanations of the general Newfoundland accent I’ve seen. Newfoundland has 63 distinct dialects so it’s difficult to fit them all in.
He really did a great job breaking it down. Thanks for watching 💕
What resource did you get the 63 figure from? I've been looking for some texts on regional Newfoundland accents and I can't find any.
@@bannermanigans That number came from a Newfoundland Downhome published magazine so i suppose you should take it with a grain of salt. The provinces university has a dialect atlas: dialectatlas.mun.ca/app/atlas/
100%
i find townie is a good mash of it all
‘ow’s she cuttin’ is definitely a sailing/fishing term.
“She” is the person’s boat. “Cutting” is the way it’s passing through the water/wind. It’s a metaphor for life... smooth sailing. How is life going?
I guess that “like a knife” COULD be a serious way to continue the metaphor, “knifing through the water,” but I’d more likely describe it as an attempt to cleverly turn the expression on it’s head, applying the term “cutting” in a way that’s unexpected, “cutting like a knife” and not “cutting through the water.”
It’s like saying “what’s are you up to” and the person replying “about 6 feet tall”
very interesting. Thanks for adding this great conversation
That’s interesting. In ireland Sometimes if someone says how’s she cuttin? You’d reply like a hot knife through butter 😂
@@JaneMcQ100 the saying does in fact come from Ireland. Most Newfoundlanders are not educated on the origins of our accents and sayings so a lot make assumptions about where they think they originate which are often incorrect, just like OP did.
The reply in Newfoundland to “how’s she cuttin?” is simply “like a knife.”
This comment is hilarious, you have quite the imagination there. How’s she cuttin is a term that comes from Ireland and has absolutely nothing to do with that tall tale you wrote.
@@caitlinhickey6 I must admit I was completely unaware of Newfoundland until I started watching a RUclips who was from there and I was like hmmm that accent is suspiciously Irish sounding let me look up more.
When did we migrate over there? Was it during the famine or at another time?
The Irish influences are strong in the newfie accent. I love it.
i grew up and still live in NL, and i still get mixed up if someones from the south coast or ireland.
This is absolutely amazing, I'm from Clare in Ireland and we use all of these sayings, I must visit Newfoundland some day.
Ayyyeee awesome. I really think you’ll like you
You'll love it here. It'll be just like you never left home. Thats how I felt when I took a trip to Ireland a few years ago
I’m from NL, and whenever I’m in Dublin, the locals think that I’m from Cork. So I’m assuming the St John’s accent is very similar.
I’m from Newfoundland and my wife is from Trinidad. I’m always amazed at how similar the cultures are at time and still very different. Great video guys!
it really is heart warming to see some similarities for sure. Makes it easy to relate with one another
I lived in Ontario for a decade and I agree! Bun and cheese! The rum smells like bananas. Old Sam rum, screech….the slang has so many similarities too!!!
I’m guessing that dude’s regular job is solving mysteries with a dog.
I love Thomas, he's a former coworker of mine. Such an all around good person. Great video! 💜
Ayyyee 💃 thank you 😊
I've heard people use many words to describe our dialect. "Fancy" is definitely not the worst.
i have a west country accent with loads of northern irish thrown in, as i live there, scary how close this is to mine, i even new what some of the words were before you mentioned them
I'm from PEI, and I'm familiar with the phrases, but it's so interesting to learn the origins behind the phrases!
That’s so cool. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have been away from home(n.l ) almost twenty years.i am still very proud to call myself a newfie.always will.
That’s great. Always be proud of where you’re from 💕
You guys are wonderful people, and this is a superb video! Thank you both! 😀
Thanks so much. Glad to enjoy the video 😊
As a man who was married to a woman from Deerlake,I learned the hard way just how many different things “buddy” can be.
Plus if your from St.Johns your a “townie”,but if you are from outside of St.Johns your a “baman”.
“Oh me shattered nerves”-mean your stressed by some one or by a certain situation.
Haha ah yes 😅
That’s just great! Thanks for this video.
Glad you liked it!
Loved this! My parents are from Newfoundland. I have always loved the Newfie slang! I also have a strong connection with the Jamaican culture and found I had no problem understanding Patois because, if you break it down, it makes sense. Glad you chose Newfoundland to further your education!
Nooiiiceee that’s awesome. I actually did a video about Irish influence on Jamaica and I think that would explain why some words would be easy to understand if you’re from Newfoundland, seeing that they have a strong Irish influence too
Here’s the link if you wanna check it out ☺️

This is wonderful! Thank you for adding to my day! All the best.
Aww this warms my heart. Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Actually Newfoundland was it's own country between 1907 and 1934
Countrybananas Oh awesome 😎. And then it became apart of Canada in 1949 right?
@@CharisMaggieTV In 1949 the second of two votes was held to either join Canada, remain under a British commission of government, or go back to being our own country seeing as how our economy was better then Britain at the time but by a very narrow margin we voted to join Canada.
@@Countrybananas we should revote
@@stephenfrancis182 Hahaha yeah I wouldn't be against it given the current government. If anything just to see what the results would be.
Yes, I love that about us. Maybe we should go back to that.
Another one you’d hear a LOT while growing up in NL is “singing out”, like in “where was ya to? I’m after singing out to ya for so long now, me throat (troat) is roach!” Lol
Oh, “singing out” or “sung out” is just calling for someone, usually drawn out and loudly. When you were playing with a bunch of people back home there was always someone’s mother who would constantly “sing” out for one of us to come home and be a kill-joy, haha.
DlchMcV haha there was so many I heard while going to school there, I couldn’t keep up 😂
Stay where you are
I’ll come where you too
Now go out and have a drink or two with these lads gets even more fun
Great people very kind and do anything to help you out😎
I love the last one! 13 years ago, I sold my old kitchen to two newfies working here in Toronto. I think I could barely make out 50% of what they were saying.
😅😅
If you understood 50% they were being polite and speaking as slowly as they could lol listen to a recording of newfies talking at home. It's a different language.
Putting that "s" on the end of verbs fits you in good, with folks speaking the Black English Vernacular. "I goes to my favorite store every week" could be something someone using BEV would say.
Really common in the New York accent too.
Right!!@jdstep97 The sentence structure is very similar to BEV of the Gullah/Geechie people.
Wow, I understood most of what he was saying. There are a lot of similarities to dialect spoken in Jamaica, which also has Irish influence. The last one was an eyebrow raise. Listening through Jamaican filter, I hear "You no know nobody who no want nutting done?" I guess that would mean the same, because, "You no want nutting done?" would mean if you have any work or need work done. Right? 🤔
Anywho, I enjoyed the video. Somehow I've stumbled upon YT vids of Newfoundland and Labrador, looks like a great place.
Ayyyyeee so happy to hear that
The similarities are definitely mind blowing
Here’s a link to another video that looks at Irish influence on Jamaica featuring a guest from Ireland and a Jamaican living in Ireland
ruclips.net/video/HNGC7NFXLNA/видео.html
There isn’t just one Newfoundland accent, there’s townie accent, bay accent, bay roberts accent, the western accent, others too but those are just some of the big ones
Do you know what regions in NL those accents are common in?
Bay as in Bay of Fundy area? Just a guess lol
@@CharisMaggieTV Townie accent is common in st.John’s and is usually what most people see as the stereotypical Newfoundland accent, Bay roberts accent is present in bay roberts and surrounding towns, and the western accent is big out in corner brook, stephenville and deer lake
@@tree6973thank you 😊
This is nice guys :) Been here for almost 3 years and I'm still struggling to understand the dialect!
I took a teaching job in a little outport called Hatchet Cove, Trinity Bay, in September of 1970. I sold the "youngsters" their books and opened school the next day. I asked my pupils what they did at the one-room school. The oldest girl stood up and gave me the low down. LOL! I didn't understand a word of what she said. Not a word. I recounted this little vignette to an older woman who was born in India and spoke English and French very well. She looked at me sharply and said, "And she was English speaking?" . . . By the time, I left Newfoundland and Labrador several years later after a couple more years teaching and a few semesters studying, I was afraid I'd be thrown out of library school because my Newfoundland accent was so pronounced. Amazing, though. how Mainland the guy's English is though, isn't it? You'd never guess he was a Newfoundlander. I loves that t-shirt, b'y.
Paulette, there is no easy way to say this....you will always have a difficult time understanding. I am from central NL but lived in Toronto and now Alberta and even I struggle with some of the phrases. Smile and nod girl.
This is super interesting. Learnt something about Newfoundland and Labrador; must say, amusing differences in the dialect 💪🏽
Yayyy my work here is done 😎
The th --> d/t shift doesn't come from French influence, it's from Irish also.
Yup no "h" in As Gailge
I'm in Ireland and this is just like how we talk
The last one I have taken for granted and would not have remembered. "You dont know nobody who dont want nudding done do ya". We are definitely weird ....make no wonder people do not understand us sometimes.
Big Bertha 💕
I'm irish and understand everything
the adding of H in everything is something like my childhood game of S Language, it's adding S at the beginning of every word. lol~
Lol that must be an interesting time 😅
One of my favourite turns of phrase is when someone from an older generation (parents age, but most usually grandparents) would look at me and say "Who you 'longs to, you?"
😅 what does that phrase mean?
@@CharisMaggieTV They're asking who do I belong to, who are my parents or who are my grandparents. I have a BIG family, like most newfoundlanders... 6 aunts and uncles on one side and 11 on the other, and each of them have 2 to 4 kids each, so it gets a little complicated in figuring out which child belongs to who especially at a family reunion or something, thus needing the question: "Who you 'longs to, you?"
@@s.kerfont8615 ahhhhhh I like that!
Also, don't forget " who knit you?"
@@debnoel8560 now that one I’ve definitely heard before hehe
Man with no arm and no legs is at the bus stop, the bus driver pulls up and says How ya gettin on... LOL
really enjoyed this one !! cheers hope you have a awesome one !
💃💃 thank you! Same to u
The "H" adding and dropping sounds very Jamaican. Lol
Kimisha Grant lol that’s why I was laughing 🤣🤣
CharisMaggie TV Maybe I should move there...
CharisMaggie TV Maybe I should move there...
Blinky?!
Lady Gladiator lmao. Same one...
i lived in Newfoundland from when i was a baby till i was 7 and had such a strong accent that when we moved to Alberta, everyone kept asking me if i was british. I think I drove my teachers crazy cause I'd say "bird-day" "Yellaw" "Sock" when trying to say shark
😂😂
"Y'don know nobody who don't want nudding done d'ya?" is interesting and bizarre. I'm wondering why Newfoundlanders phrase it as a negative ("don't"; "nudding") when the meaning is positive ("do"; "something"). It's almost as if it's made more complicated than it needs to be!
"How are you getting on?" is commonplace here in the UK too - in fact I didn't realise it was dialectal/not understood in standard dialects at all until seeing this video!
Double, and even triple, negatives like that are somewhat common in a fair number different English dialects around the world.
Dat's where me grand mudder came from and now I'm in Oz tinking 'bout how nice it'd be t' be there now while i read Ulysses.
💕
Knows Michael, knows
The d/th switch is pure irish not French, all of this makes sense Ireland but definitely has a south west coast lean for the most part
'Ow can I do 'ere ting when I got n'ar ting ta do ar ting wit?
Scott Smith ok you gotta tell me what that one means please 😅
@@CharisMaggieTV I've heard a couple of different friends tell me that one. Basically in response to someone being asked to do a task without having the proper tools, instruments etc. to do the job. - 'ere and ar - I may have misused but I think its a shortened form of "either". ting is obviously "thing". So how can I do the job without the proper tools?
I've heard either pronounced as Eye-ther or Ee-ther and become Eye-dder or Ee-dder and then when said quickly, "ere or ar". "Did you catch Eye-dder fish dere buddy?" "No b'y, N-eyedder one" or "Nar one." So the shortest conversation between two Newfie Fishermen becomes. "A'rn?" "N'arn."
I have lived in Belfast and they speak similar so " what about ye" how are you etc
Lord tundern jesus how ye gettin on me old trout ? Im from da rock and the newfoundland accent differs slightly depending the region. Even an amateur can tell the difference between a jackie tar , townie or east coast accent . Jackie tars are from the west coast Stephenville crossing area mainly and townies from St Johns and to a lesser extent Cornerbrook . Some more newfie words and sayings are ; drinking too much is called getting hosified , all crawling insects are called bloodsuckers except for ants . Ants are called emmits , large rocks that can sink boats are called sunkers , wishing someone luck becomes long may ya big jib draw , an old man is called a skipper , a married woman is called the missis , a big meal is called a scoff , brother I like cannabis becomes brudder I likes me draws gotta go proper ting !
im from Colombia and im learning this dialect to talk with my friends lmao
hope it's going well ;)
How can ya do are thing when you got nar thing to do are thing with?
Training my Newfie accent! Terribly fun video, and intellectual, too.
Thanks for watching 😊😊
When u talk to a Newfie, they instantly become your friends... They are very friendly people, only thing is I always need them to repeat their sentences.
They are indeed one of the friendliest set of folks 🌸
I was born in Bonavista Bay and raised in fishing village in Summerville, which is in Bonavista Bay as well, and it's about an hour drive from Bonavista. I was nine yrs old when I left nfld. I will always miss downhome. I speak more like a mainlander now, I lost my Newfoundland accent a long time ago. When I go downhome its doesn't take long for me to start picking it up again. But I never have the thick accent I once had as a kid.
I'm watching this video 5 years after it's made but it's still very interesting. I grew up many years ago in Western Prince Edward Island and the dialect is very similar because many of our ancestors who' settled there were from Ireland.
got all of those, except the knife reply.... I'm Irish, how's it goin?
Hey! And thanks for watching
I actually have a video featuring an Irish guest if you’d like to check it out
ruclips.net/video/HNGC7NFXLNA/видео.html
Lmao your look of exhaustion at the end 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
So the Newfoundland accent is Scottish, Irish, Gaelic French, Native Indian, Caribbean ? Watching in the UK.
First time I was in NFLD with my husband. The women in the store ask me “who owns ya”. Lol ! Just a way of saying who are you here with in the harbour.
😅😅
Who knit ya?
That’s not at all what it means. “Who owns ya” means who are your parents? Who is your family? She wants to know who you are because she hasn’t seen you in the area before. You should have told her that you’re a mainlander.
If the Newfoundlanders living in and around St John's sound Irish ? What must the West Coast of Newfoundland accent sound like ? For example, Corner Brook or in Port aux Basque.
Doesn't a good boat "cut" nicely through the water?
Most young Newfoundlanders you'll meet will speak either like "WHADAYAT BYYYS HAHAHA LOVES IT" or "Hello, my name is Steve. How's your evening going? That's good"
lol.... u forgot one thing Newfoundlanders do while talking, this I noticed in my first two days in Newfoundland..... When a Newfoundlander talks most of the sentences they usually end it with a '.....right? ' ...... someone please tell me you noticed this .....hehe....
We totally do that! I've never noticed, but it is a common trait for many of us! haha
A fellow teacher in Wareham, B.B. (Bonavista Bay) in the mid-70s noted that most of the townfolks who had spent time in Labrador and had come home ended sentences with, "hey?" LOL! Mainlanders would say, "It's a nice day, eh?" and the people in Wareham hearing them said, "It's a nice day, hey?" LOL! Mainland English influences Newfoundland Hinglish, too, hey?" I mean, "eh?" LOL!
As a Newfoundlander, I can say that this is very true. Also, onbhe Avalon, the t at the end of “right” would be stressed to sound like ‘rightttte”. Very Irish. I picked that up while I went to university in St. John’s ( I’m a bay-wop from Central Newfoundland) and still have to this day 20 years later :)
is that where I got this from? My friends started noticing that I did this when I was back home haha
Right....yes b'y.
From Cape Breton! Loves the newfies
💕💕
I heard and saw "B'y y'don know nobody who don't want nudding done, d'ya?" and i guessed correctly on what that means.
My cousin thought it was a threat
Reading through the comments, yes, very Irish terms with their own accents. I also understand why they're fishing terms too.
I can't listen that fast, wow!
I'd have to record and playback speed around .50
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching 😊😊
'Ow ya gone do nudding, if ya got nudding to do nudding wit?
I was just officially "screeched in" August turdiest. First trip to ''The Rock" ever, and it was the best trip I's ever took b'y!
When I's win da lottry, I's movin' 'ere!
Newfoundland are mostly Celts and Viking irish
Dropping 'H' and adding 'H' is more of a trinity bay thing. Avalon peninsula we didn't do that at all. Also, townies love to use 'wha?' at the end of any sentence even if it's not a question. Similar to the way a bayman would say "by'". How's she cuttin'? Is likely a nautical reference cause we have a fair share of those too.
Grivoc Gaming thanks for watching and for this great input
The Portuguese brought silent "H" as it is in their language. The trail the treks though Trinity Bay is Baccalieu Trail also the North most Easterly point of the Avlaon is Baccaliieu Island, Baccalia -is the Portuguese word for Cod fish
Not just a Trinity Bay thing - also a Notre Dame Bay thing.
@@dawnnl1856 cool!

So like one day I’ll need you to sit and tell me how you ended up here! I love this though.
Danzii’s Recipes hehe that’s a video coming up soon 🤓
I was born in Newfoundland St. John’s and after I was born went to my county and came back to Canada In Ontario. Started my school here and living here so never got the Newfie accent.
I’ve been meeting a lot of people from Newfoundland right here in Ontario as well. Is that your experience as well?
@@CharisMaggieTV not really, I have met one person which was my music teacher
two years and I'm still learning :P
LOVE THIS!
elissa vids thank you! And thanks for watching 😊
I like Newfies my bro in-law is a big Irish Welsh Newfie again I love Newfies
wonderful people
Heading to nfld this weekend. I'm from cape Breton. Just a ferry away and basically talk the same just way less dramatically haha all be upset if I don't get spoken to like this. I find at least here in cape Breton the strong accent only comes out of an elders mouth lolol
HAHA that's awesome. Wishing you safe travels and a great trip
Ow is she cutting and what are you at
We say this in Ireland as well crazy
And when I hear people from the Caribbean speak it sounds a bit Irish
True 😅😅
@@CharisMaggieTV what brought me to watch your videos was my girlfriend was listening to reanna and some of the words she was pronouncing are the exact same way we pronounce them
It just shows you we are all one people

Cool video😎. You should make more.
Thank you. I’m open to suggestions. Do you have any?
With the last one I was confused because saw “don’t want nudding” as “don’t want anything”. It’s pretty funny how emphasis can mean a positive of a negative in the Newfie language
One point i'd like to add from my bay that ive notices.; "ow she cuttin'" isnt really a "she" rather than a running along of the words of "Hows' or 'Ows' and the end of you which is shortened into 'Ye' so its really "Hows Ye Cuttin" (or phonetically 'Ows Yeh Cuttin'") instead of "Ow She Cuttin'" the 'Ye's and the 'She's pronouns is where you can get caught up. Its different from bay to bay, so great breakdown of our dialect either way!
Hmm.. ❤ like it the way they are talking.. slang sentences.. 🎉
I wonder if the phrase "'how's she cutting" gets its origin from nautical expressions. It sounds like it would be related to sailing expressions.
the th or lack of it is probably due to it not being in irish(gaelic) rather than french as is the case in ireland we do the same
The h part reminds me of the h-factor of the Nigerian yoruba people 😂
Haha great observation . I’m noticing that too 😅😅
Late but had to say it - me son or my son is a common thing to tack on to what your saying. ie "what are y'at me son?" or "now listen here my son" when speaking kinda sternly. We're not calling you our son. I dunno, it's like just another way of saying "you" or "buddy"?
geiger9 nice. I’ve always wondered about that
well now i might actually be able to understand people when i move there in 3 weeks
It's a bit like a Trini accent where they pose all the questions in a negative.
haha that's a good observation. never thought of it til now. Thanks for watching :)

How she cutting,Great Irish expression.
I'm from Michigan (Detroit proper) and we add an 's' to almost everything. Instead of saying I have a pair of Nike shoes I'll say I have a pair of Nike's. Most all grocery store names we add an 's' to like Meijers, Walmarts, Krogers, Aldis, Farmer Jacks. It's completely unnecessary but we do it 😉.
West Michigan does the same. Got some Chicago influence too.
Don't Forget I work for Fords
Sounds like you're using the possessive apostrophe s. Nike's (shoes), Walmart's (store), etc. FYI, Walmart was started by the Walton family... I guess you can think of it as "Walton's mart", ie. "Walton's market".
Here's the breakdown of Newfoundland's ethnic groups: English (39.4 percent); Irish, 19.7; Scots 6.0; French, 5.5; First Nations, 3.2.
@Justin Boland Works that way for everyone claiming heritage.
@Justin Boland Which I have done ... and I'm Irish.
@Justin Boland Huh?
@Justin Boland What is your point? More specifically, what is your proof?
Da sentence where you were sayin da eagle eats I'd pronounce eats wit an h
🤣
With Diversity grabbing all the headlines - Newfoundland has solution for this. There are three types a people, if your born in St. John's your a townie, born anywhere else in Newfoundland your a baymen and the rest of the world are Mainlanders. Kind of simplistic approach, but if you live in Newfoundland it works well.
Yes I’ve heard these
Thanks for reminding me 😅
How's she cutting is super irish haha
Best kind.
Talamh An Éisc go braith agus Éireann. Also I would of thought that the mispronunciation of 'TH' was down to the Irish influence rather than the French, no?
How 'bout, don't skoat yur guts out! That means don't strain yourself

Heyy 💕
Dis video bes deadly bah
Chicago has a similar thing with th, immortalized in SNL's "Da Bearss" skit.
Truth, any Canadians who have had 4 or more generations born in Canada have a bit o newfie in them
I noticed that when I came to Toronto haha
What? NewFie is like Pampango a dialect in the Philippines where words with H is eliminated & add H where it is not.
Example Egg they prounounce it Hegg
Home will be Ome.
Interesting
Really kool right? 😊
'ang anter yet drawrs'? We say 'Keep yer britches on'
i'm from ontario. i love newfoundland. my uncle moved there and probably won't come back. i'm pretty sure if a person from the mainland shows disrespect to how the newfies speak it's because they can't understand them. not because the speech is not understandable. which will embarrass a person. poor them eh?
That’s a very valid point 😊
What's after happenin now?
