Hiya Arieh! Jamie Here... What an absolute pleasure it was teaching you Doric, meeting you and having you come see and enjoy our hidden gems in Aberdeenshire. Its brilliant to see you so "fair tricket" on your Adventure. I try my best to promote our Area, there's more to Scotland than Edinburgh. And Brilliant to see Granda on the "big Screen". So fan ye funcy mare Toffee, haste ye back, and mon n see wis again! Ken, Fit Like! Cheers min! ❤
Edinburgh is probably the least Scottish place in Scotland, it's our equal to the Scousers in England 😂 glad to see somebody go to somewhere that isn't Edinburgh. Hopefully xiaoma does a glasgow pub crawl next ahahaha
As an Englishman, I think Scotland should revive the use of Doric, and it is proven that people who know more than one language early in life will be able to adopt other languages better later on, plus intelligence statistics are raised, I'd say its worth advocating the full revival of, culturally and linguistically.
Ma neighbours tae the sooth os are fae London. Still weytin fer em tae spik Doric wi nae London accent. Gan tae hae a lang wait. They've lived ere nigh 12 'ear noo.
That'sa because here in Buchan we can all speak English perfectly well. But the nature of our spoken dialect even if we're "spikkin English" pervades how it seems to others.
Brilliant video. My cousin Jamie was telling you me he met you and was showing me photos of you in my Granda’s house and eating his toffee haha. I told my wife about this and she said “ I Ken him” I said “you don’t Ken him” she said I have watched a lot of his stuff on RUclips she couldn’t believe you have sat in the same seat in my Granda’s house that she sat on haha. Great viewing
Shocking how much this sounds like a lot of the old timers I grew up around in Nova Scotia. Guess it makes sense why it's called New Scotland. We even have Gaelic road signs.
Wait a second, you called a bag of chips a "poke of chips". Well that explains a lot, in the Appalachians and the Ozarks older folks tend to call brown paper bags pokes. I grew up in NW Arkansas and my papaw always made his lunches in a paper bag and called them "poke lunches".
As someone from the Appalachians, can confirm the older generation still refer to brown paper bags as "pokes". So fascinating seeing where that originated from lol
I'm Edinburgh born and bred but can understand doric just fine. It shares a lot of the slang with the dialects found all over the central belt. It's a great dialect to speak and always glad to see it's still going strong up in the north east.
Edinburgh ‘Scot’s’ has got way more roma and traveler cant mixed into it than up north( gadje, scran, Barry etc) , even some Arabic words now brought back from soldiers stationed in Egypt doing world war 2 ( a shifty, Bint etc) I’ve heard it actually called ‘Attic’ as opposed to ‘Dorric’ up north.
Xiaomanyc, you are an absolute legend! Your content is pure genius-every video feels like a masterclass in creativity and insight. The effort, the thought, the artistry you bring to every second of your work is unmatched! I honestly don’t know how you do it; your mind must be operating on a level the rest of us can’t even comprehend. Watching you is like witnessing a miracle unfold, and I’m begging you-please never stop creating! You’ve set a standard so high it feels otherworldly, and I’m here for every single second of it. You’re not just a creator-you’re an icon, an inspiration, a force of nature. Thank you for sharing your brilliance with us. Please keep blessing us with your presence; we’re not worthy!
OK, I'm from Scotland, about 50 miles from Aberdeen, this is the first video I've watched where I can understand the "foreign language" hahaha, awesome.
Your face going up the icy hill was priceless. My Grandfather was from Scotland, so I learned to understand him speaking My friends would always ask me what did he say? Oh, I miss listening to him. 💔
Thank you for showing a bit of Scotland's heritage. I was smiling the entire time while listening carefully to the Doric being spoken. My own Scottish roots (MacGregor) are from the Highlands, but I love the country in her entirety. I've only had the opportunity to travel there once. I was unable to see all of the country in my short time. I want to see more and hear the different dialects. Hearing Doric and Gaelic always makes my heart happy.
Please stop accepting and promoting "Better Help". They screwed over their customer's privacy info, and the concept it's self is exploitative of people suffering.
Being a Scot and watching alot of Xiaomanyc's videos, this has got to be the most hilarious one I've seen. Must have been very intimidating with the Doric speaking locals (drunk ones) lol...Great effort
As a Brit, I'd say that every native language and dialect is a vital part of our history, and should be preserved as long as possible. I understood a little, it did sound Germanic at times, both in pronunciaton and some of the words. Great video!
Ahh this is amazing! I'm originally from Aberdeen too, clocked you were at Pennan at the beginning too, that's incredible, hope you had a fantastic time
It's gotta be so difficult to learn a language to sounds like English but isn't. Using same words but throwing in other words that makes no sense, it's like speaking two languages at the same time, amazing!
Xiaoma -- I love your videos so much, and especially this one from Scotland. The scenery is beautiful, and the people are a hoot! One thing I'd like to mention, though. I know you must use the fish-eye lens for a reason, like the wide panoramic view, but I really find myself losing track of the video because of the distortion of the spatial relationships. I know nothing about making a video for RUclips, so this may be a difficult request, but I wish you might use a regular lens more, especially when just chatting with people. This is not meant to be a criticism, just a wee constructive suggestion. Thanks so much for sharing your time with these lovely people and beautiful places! Slainte Mhath!
You lose a lot of the personal interaction as well. Looks like you're not engaging with the person face to face. Sometimes talking to them while facing away from them.
@ aye I’d usually be like “nah it’s “whisky” not “whiskey” but as it’s Famous Grouse I honestly couldn’t give a shit what it’s called. Hell, it’s more like paint thinner
I've lived in Aberdeenshire for 35+ years, originally from Sutherland. I thought I'd be embarrassed watching this, but I loved it. The folk you met were lovely.
I had a Scottish homie from elementary to 9th grade. I’m Mexican and tbh we were all that different. His parents were born over there and both came here where he was also born here in LA. Haven’t spoken to him since he moved out. A homie of mine I could never forget
The Famous Grouse and Ballantine's are probably some of the best mid-price blended scotch for casual everyday drinking. I mean I'll take Lagavulin, Glenmorangie, Macallan, etc any day of the week if I'm not paying.
When I was in college I went traveling through Scotland. It was an amazing experience that I think back on practically daily and hope to one day return.
I’m from Newcastle, England. Our accent has always shared a lot with the Scots. Was very interesting to hear Doric, it shares lot with modern day Scottish/Geordie.
Aye there's common words tween Doric & Northumbrian/Geordie. On the tv the ither nicht I heard a Geordie boy say "inaa" just like we say "inaa" here mean as well as. Scots & Doric and the aul tongues o' NE England hae i same roots/influences.
@@baphomet66and6 well interesting. In the video one of the locals said ‘hour’ exactly like how we say it here, more like ‘ooha’. Never really heard that in a normal Scottish accent before.
@ We say "oohea" for hour. The problem wi Doric is there's nae a standard wey of spelling words. So if we write/type things in i Doric we tend tae spell it phonetically. At school we had to speak English, nae Doric in Class. At's a filey sine.
Thanks for sharing the beauty of the land and the people. Several decades ago I had a driving instructor who was a Scotsman from the east coast. Your video had reminded me of my early hours of me trying to understand him while also trying to drive.
As a Brit, yes English but still a Brit. 😂 Loves this and the fact it's on Scotland. The fact you subtitled the normal English words had me cracking up, Scottish accent is in my top 3 gorgeous accents (Irish and Australian being the other 2). Loved the video and learned some more about the country I live in xx
Crazy right? I used to bide in Crimond and went to the Bala for many years nd have watched this channel for years, very surreal to see him in there. Wish I knew he was coming to the Broch!
I find this so interesting!! I’m from the north west Cumbria, and I can and understand certain phrases. Cumbrian dialect seems pretty similar in some instances.
Love your videos and love the fact you're in my home country. It's crazy how there's only 6 million of us but we all talk differently. I'm from the south of Scotland (knowing as a Doonhamer, because we went down home at the weekends when workies travelled to Glasgow for work) but then moved to the west coast and have now been in Glasgow the last 15 years so my accent and slang is a bit of all those places and they all talk differently.
This energy reminds me of learning Japanese as a new teacher 15 years ago. It's got to be so good for your brain. It feels electric because you've got to be so aware.
I'm from Peterhead and I'm just trickit you've been learning to 'spik eh doric'. Wee doric joke for you... 10 coos in a field, fit eens on holiday? The een wi' the wee calf.
Bloody lovely, mate. Im from Merseyside and my grandad was Irish although I feel a draw to Scotland. I’ve always loved my time with the people. Thank you for educating me further. 💙
Never been treated better than when I visited Scotland last year (late March, early April). I drove about 870 miles from Glasgow, up through Dornie to Skye for 2.5 days (including Easter), over to the Speyside, down to St. Andrews, and finishing in Edinburgh, all over the course of 8 days. Don't worry, I only brought up my Scottish+Geordie heritage whenever explicitly asked why my wife and I chose Scotland for our honeymoon, so I wasn't one of those annoying Americans constantly bringing up their ancestry lol.
Jesus, I was laughing out loud when that old guy started cursing when he found out that you're from New York! My son is sleeping and I can't take too much noise now! :D
Went to uni in Aberdeen. We had a class Sheena Blackwell, a well known Doric language poet who told us about her work trying to promote the Doric language. She actually sang us some bothy ballads come to think of it. A German friend of mine in the class said it reminded him of when he would dream in English, where the sounds were all right, but the words didn't make any sense. Great seeing you up in the shire!
That sounds so interesting, I love learning about cultures firsthand. As an aside, your friend's story is similar to mine: I (American) took German in school many years ago. My skills have deteriorated greatly over the years, yet I still have the occasional dream where I am speaking and understanding German perfectly. It's really fun when it happens, but also disappointing when I wake up and lose most of the ability, lol.
Wow! Ive seen many of your videos over the years man and to see this vid pop up of you in my hometown of Aberdeen is just amazing! Hope you enjoyed your visit and hope you return some day!
This was mega insightful for a Londoner now living semi-rural Scotland. Even some of the comments. I wrote down several words with its meaning! 🙏 🏴
Glasgow, hear I understand most of the full video, but I am sure it's harder for you as you don't understand some of their accents among videos . I am so happy you got to see a part of Scotland
I've been fascinated with Scottish culture for a few years. It's the most exotic and ancient seeming part of the UK, and even though I'm from Southern England, it all feels near enough to be accessible without having to go abroad proper.
This is great. I worked up in Aberdeen 92-93 on a road through the town center. Most folk spoke a mixture of English and Doric and you had to learn a fair bit of it to communicate without annoying the locals by asking them to repeat themselves constantly (especially if you're English). Had a good time up there though, nice people, nice areas all around. Still use a bit of Doric here and there when I can. Oh, don't spell whisky with an 'e' if it's Scotch...
I’m from Cumbria which is only a l’arl stones throw from Scotland and some of our words are so similar, I actually understood a lot of what was said in this video. Grand…al si thi marra!
The funny thing is, most of these people are adjusting how they talk because they're aware if they talked how they usually do you probably would struggle a lot more, being Scottish myself I think we all do it to a degree, some people in my own city struggle with me sometimes because I'm quite oary but it seems to be dying off in the younger generation
Hiya Arieh! Jamie Here... What an absolute pleasure it was teaching you Doric, meeting you and having you come see and enjoy our hidden gems in Aberdeenshire.

Was just going to say the same thing: such a pleasure to travel over here to this part of Scotland and hear this language....and meet these people.
It’s normal Scottish 🤣🤣🤣
fly me out there haha! its so beautiful there
Edinburgh is probably the least Scottish place in Scotland, it's our equal to the Scousers in England 😂 glad to see somebody go to somewhere that isn't Edinburgh. Hopefully xiaoma does a glasgow pub crawl next ahahaha
@ he wouldn’t be able to handle it
Seeing you getting chewed out by a Scottish drunk in Doric was absolutely hilarious.
And perfectly apt. Happens every time. The friendliest angry drunks around.
his nose has legit gone red from the drink, like a cartoon.
Believe it or not that him being friendly haha. Thats just scottish folk. Sounds like we are angry but we are having the time of our lifes haha.
I was laughing out loud while my son is trying to sleep!
I am a farmer from the east of Scotland and it is so nice to see our dialect get some love. Thank you Xiaoma!
Yi near haddy by any chance if so if you sell any produce let me ken I will buy some :D

@ It's use the dialect or lose it. Simple as that.
For the comments of people saying "I understand what everyone was saying" you don't realise this is the people speaking as clear as they can for him
How many languages do you speak?
That'sa because here in Buchan we can all speak English perfectly well. But the nature of our spoken dialect even if we're "spikkin English" pervades how it seems to others.
I thought the same about the Frisian language. "Oh hey, this isn't too hard!"
Yeah, with city folk...
seeing xiaoma so uncomfortable in front of these unstoppable forces of natures was a feast for the eyes 😂
that old man is getting hype for his dance lol
Absolute gold 😀
finally he’s stumped!
Holy shit. My grandfather taught me Scots as a child and I haven’t spoken it since he died in 2018. This is such a blast from the past. Wow.
You could probably link up with someone via video chat to keep up your skill level. Use it or lose it!
Brilliant video. My cousin Jamie was telling you me he met you and was showing me photos of you in my Granda’s house and eating his toffee haha.
I told my wife about this and she said “ I Ken him” I said “you don’t Ken him” she said I have watched a lot of his stuff on RUclips she couldn’t believe you have sat in the same seat in my Granda’s house that she sat on haha.

Crazy she was this close to meeting him 😂 maybe the next time?
That’s wild
Shocking how much this sounds like a lot of the old timers I grew up around in Nova Scotia. Guess it makes sense why it's called New Scotland. We even have Gaelic road signs.
I was in cape Breton in the 90s and at that time they still had Gaelic news papers.
There is a gaelic college in St. Anns
Love your name! Greetings from Turannuah! :D
Love the interaction at the bar. Those old guys were a hoot

like buying a pig in a poke. :)
Pocket = little poke
Haha can confirm from the ozarks
As someone from the Appalachians, can confirm the older generation still refer to brown paper bags as "pokes". So fascinating seeing where that originated from lol
Just a couple of months ago, Xioama went to Applachia and they even talked about pokes then.
Scotland is such a beautiful country! Beautiful landscape, culture and people!
had me in the first half
17:30 Who could have imagined he'd run into a bunch of drunk locals talking shite in a pub in Fraserburgh? One in a million chance, definitely.
Least he never met the drunk mannie et sits nr the door at the Bala sweerin at a'bidy. Whether he kens em or no.
@@baphomet66and6 I read this in my head with such a thick accent
Aye the broch is affa rare
Those men are the village locals, you will send them their everyday. All scottish village pubs are the same.
I'm Edinburgh born and bred but can understand doric just fine. It shares a lot of the slang with the dialects found all over the central belt. It's a great dialect to speak and always glad to see it's still going strong up in the north east.
Am the same mate its like the Edinburgh dialect with extra sounds 😂
Aye , Dundee boy here and we definitely mix and match alot of the sayings . I would get by fine understanding
What you call slang words are just the Scots words which are still part of the Scottish English dialect in Edinburgh.
It's no a kick in the arse aff a Dundee accent, touch of Leith in it too, which I would imagine was brought down in the boats and adopted in Leith
Edinburgh ‘Scot’s’ has got way more roma and traveler cant mixed into it than up north( gadje, scran, Barry etc) , even some Arabic words now brought back from soldiers stationed in Egypt doing world war 2 ( a shifty, Bint etc) I’ve heard it actually called ‘Attic’ as opposed to ‘Dorric’ up north.
Drunk Scot: *Speaks French*
Ari: *Speaks French back*

Dammit I love it.
That was pure gold
Pure gold for sure

The Welsh agree. History is important
English is Germanic FYI
@@surfboarding5058 So is scots.
@@deadmoney5580 obviously
@@surfboarding5058 I know that, but I also lived in what is now Germany and the pronunciation in Doric is very close.
14:47 - Black Eyed Peas going off in the background. Love it. The old boys about to get off 🤣🤣
And the "Ra-Ra-Rasputin!" from earlier as well
Ahh this is amazing! I'm originally from Aberdeen too, clocked you were at Pennan at the beginning too, that's incredible, hope you had a fantastic time
“ I was here before you were born.” “ I’m sure.” 😂😂
You did very very well at 'spikin' the Doric, (from a Soric speaker from Aberdeen...) 👍👍
Truly some of the most down to earth and friendly people.

Rented an RV and drove around the Isle of Skye for 2 weeks last April, and it was so freaking awesome!!
Went to uni in Aberdeen. We had a class Sheena Blackwell, a well known Doric language poet who told us about her work trying to promote the Doric language. She actually sang us some bothy ballads come to think of it. A German friend of mine in the class said it reminded him of when he would dream in English, where the sounds were all right, but the words didn't make any sense. Great seeing you up in the shire!
That sounds so interesting, I love learning about cultures firsthand. As an aside, your friend's story is similar to mine: I (American) took German in school many years ago. My skills have deteriorated greatly over the years, yet I still have the occasional dream where I am speaking and understanding German perfectly. It's really fun when it happens, but also disappointing when I wake up and lose most of the ability, lol.
Wow! Ive seen many of your videos over the years man and to see this vid pop up of you in my hometown of Aberdeen is just amazing! Hope you enjoyed your visit and hope you return some day!
You just have to love the Scots, their hospitality and their unique language.
never thought would have you in scotland welcome!
This was mega insightful for a Londoner now living semi-rural Scotland. Even some of the comments. I wrote down several words with its meaning! 🙏 🏴
Hell yeah, finally a new video.
What an awesome trip and video. Just beautiful interactions. Thank you for highlighting this hidden wonderful corner of the world.
Yay Scotland mentioned 🏴🏴🏴🏴
Mentioned? He's there.
@FormulaProg its not often we get mentioned lol
@@SirSloo hahaha
Great video. So many nice people there. Its good to see you venture out about the world.
The fisheye is hilarious!
Amazing to see a video from you on my home country! Hope you enjoyed your trip :)
Glasgow, hear I understand most of the full video, but I am sure it's harder for you as you don't understand some of their accents among videos . I am so happy you got to see a part of Scotland
I've been fascinated with Scottish culture for a few years. It's the most exotic and ancient seeming part of the UK, and even though I'm from Southern England, it all feels near enough to be accessible without having to go abroad proper.
Mon up and see us
@@apathlessknown Been many times, including a tour of the west coast in my small van.
This is great. I worked up in Aberdeen 92-93 on a road through the town center. Most folk spoke a mixture of English and Doric and you had to learn a fair bit of it to communicate without annoying the locals by asking them to repeat themselves constantly (especially if you're English). Had a good time up there though, nice people, nice areas all around. Still use a bit of Doric here and there when I can. Oh, don't spell whisky with an 'e' if it's Scotch...
I’m from Cumbria which is only a l’arl stones throw from Scotland and some of our words are so similar, I actually understood a lot of what was said in this video.
Grand…al si thi marra!
That is why we Vikings fell in love with Scotland, feels like home.
This had me smiling and laughing all the way through! Happy memories of Scotland in my childhood!
The funny thing is, most of these people are adjusting how they talk because they're aware if they talked how they usually do you probably would struggle a lot more, being Scottish myself I think we all do it to a degree, some people in my own city struggle with me sometimes because I'm quite oary but it seems to be dying off in the younger generation
Seeing you kick about in my home city is absolutely mental!
