I'm from Belarus and i love the accent! Currently writing my graduate work on the Geordie accent. Thanks for the video and for enriching my Geordie slang vocabulary 😃
I lived on Tyneside for 11 years and worked in North Shields. Every once in a while l get an itch to hear proper Geordie. It’s not just the words it’s the pitch and the rhythm. Geordies end their sentences on a high, sort of questioning note giving the dialect a sort of singing quality. I used to say there’s eff all poetry on Tyneside save how they speak and how they play football. The girls were better than me.
I'm a Geordie, and I moved to Somerset. I always say we sound abrupt and matter of fact. When I first moved down here people thought I was rude. I kept telling them, it's because they have a soft singsong sort of accent, and mine just isn't 😆. Mind you, like most Geordies I'll tell you exactly how it is, and they're not used to that. I've been here 21yrs and I still sound the same. Sometimes I have to tone it down, because they look at me as if I'm speaking Swahili 😆.
I'm an Essex boy proper hammer but I love the northeast and I've started to proper like you and the way you love where your from I've just watched your bbc4 Alan top song writer don't change you are proper
I’m a born bred Geordie but don’t have as strong a dialect as Sam. Wish i did sometimes though - love hearing this tho. The bit with scratcha was so funny and 100% what you’d hear any day if the week on Tyneside 🤣🤣
Spice is my most favi of him! I love his voice and his guitar playing. 🎸 Sam is just real deal. Fun to see him like this! 🎼🎙 love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 💕
What is Geordie? Geordie is part of the Northumbrian dialect, and the Northumbrian dialect comes from Germanic tribes of Anglo-Saxons, or old English. To my Scottish friend's, most of your words are also old English. The reason is parts of Scotland was part of Northumbria, and Northumbria went south to the Humber, north all the way past Edinburgh, West past Whithorn west coast of Scotland. It was huge compared to what it is today. I'm a Geordie, and you could say the birth of English was in Northumberland ☺️
You’ll find the parts of Scotland you refer to were Pictish and Briton areas before Northumberland’s. There was a continual fight for those areas and the Picts defeated Northumberland in a great battle and that was them. Yeah there was leftover in the east and Scots was born from Middle English I think. We have a lot of words that are an amalgamation of Scots and Gaelic.
@@TheSomeChanter Pictish witch the Pics Spoke, and Cumbric, or Celtic witch the Britain's spoke. Cumbric is basically similar to modern day Welsh, as many people say are the true Britain's. English is a Germanic language, and both Geordies, and Scots speak. I do understand were you are coming From with Pictish, and Gaelic, but these words, are definitely not in Geordie, or Northumbrian, as it's old English. How the Scottish accent sounds is different, and most likely to do with both Pictish, and Gaelic. Basically What I'm saying is any Scottish words that are the same, as Northumbrian, or Geordie are Germanic, or Old English. By the Way you Scots managed to get as far as Durham, but then got heavily defeated, and you lost Northumbria. Anglo Saxons were fighting the Danish Vikings at the same time 😉
@@damianheslop6380 whilst there may be some words that I do agree with you on, it’s worth noting that the opposite may also be true. If history has taught us anything it’s that nothing is black and white or as straightforward as we’d like it to be perceived. There’s always lots of grey.
@@TheSomeChanter I defo agree with you on history can change, but there is no Pictish, or Scottish Gaelic in the Northumbrian, or English language. What is very true Gaelic is still spoken in Scotland today.
@@damianheslop6380 you’re missing my point. No one can say for sure that the word Aye for example was founded in Scotland or Northumbria. As both cultures clashed and both cultures fought, whilst inhabiting lands and people, culturally there would have been integration of a variety of things; none more so than elemental language. My point is that we could have also influenced what you now refer to as Geordie slang.. The Scots language is very different from Georgie slang but there are some obvious overlaps that can be heard in lowland Scotland. Your stance was and is pretty much one sided but I’m afraid history doesn’t show that. It’s important to remember that Scotland was a hotbed of cultures and our language and slang reflects that.
@@martijnschilders1726 Sam said " young'un dee as ya telt" = "young one, do as you're told" Young'un is commonly used in the Newcastle area meaning a kid, usually a family member
Geordie, or Northumbrian dialect is Germanic words from the Anglo Saxon's, so it can sound very similar to Dutch, northern Germany, and southern Denmark ☺️ We are all from the same tribe my friend
'Keep a haad!' should have been in there. It's the Geordie goodbye, generally used as you're leaving each other to go home. A straight translation would be 'keep a hold' but in general when we say it we mean 'keep yourself safe and well till I see you again'. My favourite of all our weird sayings for that reason
Lol, I i used to work with a Geordie girl here in Northern Ireland and she used to say how hard we Irish were to understand..! When her friends came to visit they hadn't a clue like! 😂
I'm from Stanley originally and the dialect is like a mix of Newcastle, Sunderland and general North East countryside (Pitmatic). Not me though, I've lived down south too long.
Sam said "in a fettle" to mean "in a mood".. I think it means to be in a particular state, further specified by the rest of the context of the sentence. I've heard older relatives use terms like "are you out of fettle pet?" to mean "are you unwell?"
I´m from Saxony and Geordie sounds like it´s english parallel universe slang. For exampel: I am going mad = ich werd verrückt (regular german) = ohrschwerbleede (saxon) ;)
It is NOT slang - it's a dialect. Calling it slang just shows utter ignorance of the language and your spelling of these words is incorrect. And Geordie is NOT a language - it describes the people - it is correctly termed NORTHUMBRIAN. Northumbria is not Northumberland!
Geordie, or the Northumbrian dialect is Gemanic, or old English. Alot of Scottish words sound the same because parts of Scotland was part of Northumbria when the Anglo-Saxons invaded.
«there's different brands of geordie, different flavours. drew's mental country bumpkin flavour» gotta love these two, ha-ha
I'm a fellow Geordie and I can totally see how our slang sounds so strange to a lot of people 😂 I love Sam as well
I would say it’s sort of weird but then am From Glasgow so a don’t think a can say much
We have some strange slang that's for sure
Same.
That’s a new whole language there mate. ✌️❤️
Me too
I love Sam! He’s so funny and down to earth
Have you had the pleasure of meeting him at a charity do at any point in your life?
Most beautiful dialect on this planet!
Sam is naturally funny. The kind of guy you could go for a pint with

The Geordies when speaking sounds like their are the Jamaicans in the English Country . Love the Geordie accent ❤
Fantastic! I have a croatian friend who is learning Geordie. This is perfect for him!
So talented, kind and FIT
I was born in Wallsend, moved to Canada at age 11. Still love the Geordie accent
I love the Geordie accent. Like Scouse (LIverpool) it's not an easy one to imitate.
I disagree. If you're Northern, it's really easy. The locals might not appreciate it like.

There is online dictionaries of it like, not like it helps manY people like 😂
i found this comment way too funny i’m sorry
The book is called “Larn yersel Geordie”

Gannin yem, is the same in Norwegian for I'm going home or pretty similar
Vikings invaded us so makes sense yeah, we also call a house as hoos (hus i norsk) and home as yem (Hjem)
@@RobertHeslop don't forget "bairns" from Danish and "fower" from Frisian.
As a gastropod from the Town Moor, I'd say that was Cushty like....🐌

You can't not love but then also refuse to not adore Sam Fender.
Best accent from the UK
howay man is one of my favourites things to say
He's proper funny like.
Fellow Gordies did you know. That sneck is slang I never knew until I was 14 that everyone said latch
Nope,it was always Snack. Latch was for the rich and famous, Johnn. C
We alway called it the sneck when I was growing up in Wallsend! Latch was probably Jesmond or place near the coast, like Whitley Bay or Monkseaton.

At 1:55, I thought he meant, Jongen! Deze telt! Which is Dutch for, ‘ Hey boy, This one counts’ instead of ‘do as you’re tolt. Great slang!
The geordie accent sounds more like Scandinavian words than English. Apparently it is the truest to how medieval English sounded

it’s so funny when i talk to someone down the country because they get proppa confused and it’s so funny
Lots of similarities with Glaswegian and a bit of Scandinavian touch as well. Yem- hjem.

this is awesome.
I'm from Chicago and I just learned a new language.

@Pedro you learnt English from this?!
I laughed a lot watching this
The comments however have been somewhat educational too
I enjoyed all of it quite a bit
Very similar to cumbrian slang, we would say ga'an yam and fettle is more like how you are so you would be bad fettle if you're ill
In Stoke people say goin wom, but mostly the older generation
Don’t realise how geordie you are until you go to another city
Oh man, every time me ma said “am ganna yark ye” when I was a bairn, I knew it was time to behave 😂

Bet you those words come from the Viking in them up there.
Vikings and Anglo Saxons. Lots of old/middle English still in the Geordie speech.

My dad always said cowp Yr creels - meaning falling head over heels, or summersaulting
I never realised how wierd our slang was
fun fact - Adivinar in spanish is the verb to guess at something and A divvint na in geordie is to not know something. How mad is that?!
I was mistaken for Scottish when I was in London a few years ago!
The geordie slang got stranger and Sam didn't even know what it meant.
Geordie from the 1800's ! Geordie 's say us alot when they mean me
Yeah we do 😄
Some of its similar to what we say in Scotland.
Yes I'm from Newcastle I find that we have a lot of similarities. I love the Scots.
@@deniselivingstone4906 I remember people saying a Geordie is a Scot with his brains bashed in.
@@racheltaylor6578 not the most complimentary thing to say to someone from Newcastle but fair do’s 😂
Hang on a minute, Northumbrian is not a brand of Geordie, Geordie is a type of Northumbrian.

1:32 ...what is love 🤔😂
Nice 1 ..radiox
Hew lad, canny radged is Sam.
Wey give owa lad. Got to be my favourite. By the way he fairly sounds like buzzcocks at the beginning of this
😁He really does.
Sam said "in a fettle" to mean "in a mood".. I think it means to be in a particular state, further specified by the rest of the context of the sentence.
I've heard older relatives use terms like "are you out of fettle pet?" to mean "are you unwell?"
My grandson loves you.
That "here, I fought a shark" line, exactly what you'd hear from the gobby little charvas hanging outside the bus station
He’s a canny bairn wor Sam like
Born and bred North Shields in the forties and never said “belter” in my life okey dokywas popular. John. C
I´m from Saxony and Geordie sounds like it´s english parallel universe slang.

Why show the Tyne Bridge on this thumb nail he is not from Newcastle
Where are the subtitles

Even before the Geordie slang is exposed, I find out that Sam Fender is actually pronunced "Sam Funda-"
He’d do an awesome Jamaican accent
If you say "Beer Can" in a propa Geordie accent, it sounds identical to "Bacon" in a Jamaican accent.
Geordie's, neither English nor Scottish, been stuck in the middle, too far north to be English but not far enough north to be Scottish , lol
His drummer looks like Adam Granduciel
why censor this honestly man
