As a kiwi, it always sounds out-of-place hearing an american accent here in NZ and our 'accent' isn't noticeable, but as soon as it comes to media etc, hearing the kiwi voices sound weird and americans sound normal lol
On Kiwis and accents: There is a scene in The Boys where Homelander (American) says to Butcher (English) "Hey man, I like your accent!" which made me chuckle since both actors, Anthony Starr and Karl Urban, are from New Zealand.
No way! I've never seen the show, but I've seen clips on YT, and Anthony Starr is the best thing about it. I've meant to Google him, but had no idea he was a fellow Kiwi. 🐤

So one night I was driving home and as I pulled off of the motorway I looked across at a woman in her car looking at me with a terrified expression on her face. I thought it was weird as I drove off and then realised my face was covered in fake bloody wounds and fake dirt. I looked like I had been in a nasty car accident or something.

I'm from New Zealand and while you're living here you obviously don't notice the accent, but I lived overseas for a few years and when I came back, she's right, it's pretty tough to listen to as a returning Kiwi. Other nationalities seem to like it though.

Fun fact, after Power Rangers Wild Force was last filmed in the USA, the production team moved to New Zealand, then Ninja Storm was the first series to be filmed there, and the last one was Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. I've noticed that some of the cast from Power Rangers we're on that New Zealand soap opera called Shortland Street, and it is very popular in my home country in Ireland. I have a friend who was originally from New Zealand, but he lives here in Ireland. Also Rose McIver who also plays Summer Landsdown, Ranger Operator Series Yellow in Power Rangers RPM.
You think that is tough, it's bloody hard for us Aussies to listen to that kiwi accent.. especially at a Seafood takeaway. And who the hell name thongs jandals?? 😂😂 Although, that said I have always loved that Kiwi TV advertisement with the guy painting his deck! _(just jokes, we love our Anzac partners and will defend that pact for ever)_
Interesting lead up to the new _Conan O'Brien Must Go_ episodes because they've hinted that they already come back from taping in New Zealand. Actually on _CONAF_ Conan hinted that he had been gone for 3 weeks and on _3 Questions_ Andy openly mentioned that the crew had left for New Zealand.
He was here in September. A mate of mine bumped into him in Wynyard Quarter and had a chat with him, and the next day he walked past me on the Westhaven boardwalk on the way to Buoy Cafe in Auckland. Mate said it was a great chat, wouldn't have minded having a yarn too but didn't want to disturb him. I'm 6'3" but he's a gangly fella in the flesh, taller than you might think haha.
As a kiwi, i take offence to this notion, i accept our accents are " different" but thats fine with me, after living in Australia for 35 years my accent is mostly gone, but i am ALWAYS proud to be a kiwi, and to prove that i am only an Australian resident, not citizen, Aotearoa forever
I love the Kiwi & Aussie accents, but to be honest, as an American I cannot tell the difference! I went on a boat trip last year in Croatia, and the majority of the others on the boat were Kiwis and Aussies.
I worked with Rose in community theatre back in the day- she was 16 and one of the most professional actors I had ever worked with- or as we say here, wehrk'd weeth.....
I was visiting my US Born cousins in Long Beach, I was talking to them as we got the car out of the garage. A couple out for a walk,stopped and stared at me,then asked where I was from,they were fascinated with my Auckland accent.
I'm a Kiwi and our accents are diabolical, especially working class ones. But hey, what country doesn't think their working class accents sound terrible?
Working class? What do you mean? We don't have a working class accent because we don't have a class system. There's a kiwi accent and then there's the plummy accent for those who think they're too good to sound like the rest of us cool kiwis. Get over yourself!
Conan really shines and is the best when he's out interacting with people or taking part in some kind of event or course. I enjoy his podcasts but hope he gets outside and films some more soon 🙂
Im a kiwi. Went to the USA in 2019. Would only have to say Hi to a person in an elevator and they would be like Wow maan, whar y'all fraaam?? Australia? Nah mate, new zealand. Wow man is that near switzerland?. It got pretty thin after a few times, ended up adopting a texas accent just to get these dum arses off my case.
Omg, she’s the one who plays the main character in the rubbish American remake of ghosts?? Genuinely thought she was American when I watched the first episode of that.
I love the Kiwi accent, its also way better than the Aussie accent. I have been living in NZ for almost 17 years and love the culture, accent, lifestyle and everything else about NZ. No where else I would rather be.
Where are you originally from? I'm in the US, and if things get to crazy here, I just might move to NZ. It's about the only country I can reasonably go to with my career.
@@huntstyle I am English/Scottish South African. Most of my family either gone back to England or Scotland but apparently my dads dad was Scottish Aussie.
She is a stunningly beautiful woman and I think a New Zealand accent fits her wonderfully. I had no idea she wasn't American or English, but I really like her natural voice. I'll admit the New Zealand accent isn't the "sexiest" in the world, but it is a LONG way from the "ugly" Jersey/Appalachian hillbilly end of the spectrum. It always feels playful. New Zealanders always feel more upbeat-with a touch of mischievousness-to me. It's a happy accent. I love the rare occasions I get to talk to someone from New Zealand.
Every country has a huge range of accents, I’m Australian from North Queensland with a very strong accent. When I travel to other parts of the country or overseas, I have to deliberately slow down my speaking and try my best to separate my words as I naturally roll words all into one long continuous sound. No one can understand me at all otherwise. When talking on the phone, I now subconsciously adjust the way I speak to try and match the person I’m speaking to. When my Australian wife and I traveled to the UK on an extended holiday, I noticed my wife does the same thing. She had spent a few years working over there when younger and almost drops straight into a Londoner accent
There isn't a huge variety in NZ, there's a soft accent and a hard accent and each is found all over the country, more a urban/rural or rich/poor divide than a regional one - although many exceptions to that as well.
Yes my husband said to me there was an Indian shop keeper who sounded just like a Maori kiwi so I went in the shop and I swear if you didn’t see him first I’d of thought it was one of the cuzzy bros. So cool and he was too.
English Language accents ranked from best to worst in my American opinion: New Zealand Standard American English Canadian Welsh Australian Irish Scottish Boston Maine Rhode Island South African Southern American
I used to love being on a long overseas flight, and hearing coming from elsewhere in the cabin, Kiwi, Aussie, & Southern-African accents. (I am a Kiwi), I used to think of these three accents as the sounds of "Our People" , in a world absolutely dominated by Northern-Hemisphere accents. We "Down-Under" folk tend to be "Internationally" very well travelled. Also, in Southern California, Polynesian (Samoan & Tongan) people, with prior links to Aussie, and/or to NZ, with VERY Kiwi-derived accents (per Otara, Mangere, Taita, & Porirua).
@@MK-oc4gt Just ask any overseas person. Mainly americans. at time they can't understand us. Another Prime example Taskmaster UK season 9. NZ Comedian Rose Matafeo is on that season, says the word 'shed' or at least shed in our ears but to the British on the show it sounds like 'Shid'. ruclips.net/user/shorts0THQU62YVoQ

@@AngieSainty that was the second time in the states. The first time was when I was a exchange student and my geography teacher said that I should apologise for Hitler lol
as a kiwi, out accent is tough on the ears. very cringeworthy. worst is the south african accent and 2nd is a coin toss of the kiwi and aussie accent. californian accent and english RP is nice. ny/brooklyn and southern us twang is funny and i do it for fun sometimes, especially singing along to a morgan wallen song.
As a Kiwi, I lived in Australia for quite a while. I told one Aussie I can't mimic the Australian accent because I am too old. He said gr8. He didn't like Aussies that picked up an American accent within weeks. However having studied many accents ours does sound flat. The most colourful accent/language I have heard was actually Northern Chinese. Very melodic
No way bananas are “the most easily bruised fruit“. Look at guava for example that are so easily bruised they can’t even be exported. Or peaches. There must be another 50 tropical fruits that we never see because they would be mushed by the time they got here.
As a New Zealander, she still sounds exactly like a kiwi. If I bumped into her on the street in the US, Id still be able to tell through and through that shes a kiwi. I also notice whenever I hear our accent on tv with say like americans or others, our accent sounds weirder and thicker.
As an NZ I literally can't hear our accent, but wouldn't be surprised if it was unpleasant. Good accents are upper-class brits, the texan twang, and scottish.
i am a kiwi she has a kiwi accent nothing American about her accent and who is she anyway she is no one special in our country ive never seen or heard of her before and been a small country at that to and yeah that's an Ozzie intro g-day mate is not a kiwi accent
Yeah, you're right. Who's she trying to kid? Even though it's a standard Aus/Kiwi greeting, one real Kiwi saying is 'Chur bro' as others on this thread have mentioned. Now that's one that really don't belong to anyone else!! 😉
OZ & NZ accents are like American & Canadian accents sound very similar but whatever you do, don't EVER make the rockie mistake & say they sound the same, especially in a bar
I once asked someone enter their PIN number for an eftpos purchase, they said “I don’t have a pin!” I said “that’s ok you don’t need a PIN number you can sign with pen onscreen instead”. He was from NZ and I’m Australian. Then he’s doing hand signs frantically, like he’s holding a pen. I’m said “oh, a PEN! Here you go and gave it to him”. Lol so confusing.
A Kiwi accent is an Australian accent with some of the vowels shifted one step. Australian: "A bed is a thing you can have sex in." Kiwi: "Uh bid is uh thung you cun hev six un."
Her Kiwi accent is actually not that strong. I'm guessing as an actor, she has learnt to pronounce her words closer to the Received Pronunciation of British English, much the same as Cate Blanchett doesn't sound like your average Bogan Australian
The kiwi and aussie accents are close but have some differences. I love them both. Rachel Taylors Aussie accent is like music to the ear in Transformers.

As a new zealander, our accents are generally shocking, we pick vowels at random in our words and we speak way too quickly
You're not wrong, but I find it very charming
"we pick vowels at random" is so real😭😭
Ok grammar police, shocking to your ears maybe but please explain what you mean. How the hell do 'we pick up vowels at random?' 🤷
@@MK-oc4gt Just ask any overseas person. Mainly americans. at time they can't understand us.
Another Prime example Taskmaster UK season 9. NZ Comedian Rose Matafeo is on that season, says the word 'shed' or at least shed in our ears but to the British on the show it sounds like 'Shid'.

@@MK-oc4gt You're renowned for your weird vowels ;)
I'm Australian and I had a lady say that I have a lovely accent and that I must be from Boston. I told her that I'm actually Australian and she said "that's not a real place."
Not a real place? That is hillarious! :D
What's your point?😁
@@zounds13 lol
@@AngieSainty that was the second time in the states. The first time was when I was a exchange student and my geography teacher said that I should apologise for Hitler lol
1:08 say something new zealand lol, then says something aussie instead, Gday mate lol
The first thing I saw her in was Power Rangers RPM as.the yellow ranger. Good to see her in more things. Now on Conan!.
as a kiwi, out accent is tough on the ears. very cringeworthy. worst is the south african accent and 2nd is a coin toss of the kiwi and aussie accent. californian accent and english RP is nice. ny/brooklyn and southern us twang is funny and i do it for fun sometimes, especially singing along to a morgan wallen song.
Conan really did grow into his role better and better over time
Nothing wrong with our accent. I'm happy to speak the way we speak.
I like New Zealand accent more than Australian accent
Yeah cause australians go to a bink to get money to buy fush and chups
In NZ if you say you cant bare to see a bear drink a beer it sounds like you're saying I cant beer to see a beer drink a beer😁
If you ever end up at a church lunch, try asking, "pass the pasta, pastor".
how else would you pronounce them? do americans say these three words differently?
can't bear*
Same with hair, hare and here ... they all sound the same in a NZ accent. lol
As a Kiwi, I lived in Australia for quite a while. I told one Aussie I can't mimic the Australian accent because I am too old. He said gr8. He didn't like Aussies that picked up an American accent within weeks. However having studied many accents ours does sound flat. The most colourful accent/language I have heard was actually Northern Chinese. Very melodic
No way bananas are “the most easily bruised fruit“. Look at guava for example that are so easily bruised they can’t even be exported. Or peaches. There must be another 50 tropical fruits that we never see because they would be mushed by the time they got here.
Lovely upload!
I am so glad to see her . The first time i saw Rose it was in Xena .
Interviewing an angel would probably feel exactly like this
She is just lovely. IZombie was a fun show :)
She’s so pretty
As a New Zealander, she still sounds exactly like a kiwi. If I bumped into her on the street in the US, Id still be able to tell through and through that shes a kiwi. I also notice whenever I hear our accent on tv with say like americans or others, our accent sounds weirder and thicker.
As an NZ I literally can't hear our accent, but wouldn't be surprised if it was unpleasant.
Good accents are upper-class brits, the texan twang, and scottish.
Nz accent is not even that bad
Loved the episode of i Zombie where she pretended to be from NZ and put on a fake fake NZ accent.
Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe her. My god.
New Zealand accent is very classy ❤
i am a kiwi she has a kiwi accent nothing American about her accent and who is she anyway she is no one special in our country ive never seen or heard of her before and been a small country at that to and yeah that's an Ozzie intro g-day mate is not a kiwi accent
Facts
Rose McIver is gorgeous.
I wish they would just let them keep their accents in shows. It would be more interesting
Why she say gooday mate 😂 did she forget that Australia 😵💫😂
Yeah, you're right. Who's she trying to kid? Even though it's a standard Aus/Kiwi greeting, one real Kiwi saying is 'Chur bro' as others on this thread have mentioned. Now that's one that really don't belong to anyone else!! 😉
We share a lot of slang and colloquialisms with Australia, they don't own it all (plus they pinched a lot of our musicians and actors!) ;)
I could walk around and not hear good day mate ever unless it’s an Australian
@@chellycw Yeah I've lived here most of my life too and have never heard 'good day mate' either-strange
Does anyone her in NZ know who this bird is ? Iv'e never heard of her before.
Don’t like the kiwi accent I love it! I can understand why some Aussies would think about some Aussies though (yes coming from an Aussie)
Dart Board.
What do u call a kiwi in a suit ?? Defendant lol.
What do u call a kiwi in a police car ??
Suspect
Lol
The "I like your accent" then the quick "awww" lol
OZ & NZ accents are like American & Canadian accents sound very similar but whatever you do, don't EVER make the rockie mistake & say they sound the same, especially in a bar
I once asked someone enter their PIN number for an eftpos purchase, they said “I don’t have a pin!”
I said “that’s ok you don’t need a PIN number you can sign with pen onscreen instead”.
He was from NZ and I’m Australian.
Then he’s doing hand signs frantically, like he’s holding a pen.
I’m said “oh, a PEN! Here you go and gave it to him”.
Lol so confusing.
I’m from Nz we have a terrible accent but she still has hers she’s sounds very kiwi to me.
as a Kiwi, she's not wrong. I hate our accent more than I hate the South African accent
I love the accent 💖💖💖💖
Kiwis got beautiful decks 👀
They love their houses
She's beautiful and makes me proud as a new zealander, first time seeing her.
A Kiwi accent is an Australian accent with some of the vowels shifted one step. Australian: "A bed is a thing you can have sex in." Kiwi: "Uh bid is uh thung you cun hev six un."
Hot kiwi girl. The kiwi accent may sound funny to us NZders but it's considered to be a very exotic sounding accent. Chur 😊
Her Kiwi accent is actually not that strong. I'm guessing as an actor, she has learnt to pronounce her words closer to the Received Pronunciation of British English, much the same as Cate Blanchett doesn't sound like your average Bogan Australian
Oh that accent melts my heart. She is so hot and that accent is just delightful.
"What should i say?" - in an nz accent.
gives him an ozzy phrase in a semi ozzy tone. nice.
The kiwi and aussie accents are close but have some differences. I love them both. Rachel Taylors Aussie accent is like music to the ear in Transformers.
That is quite offensive that she said that...if your from New Zealand you should be proud of it all! Wow girl stay in America 👎
Exactly. Didnt have to use the word "ugly". Don't even know who this person is anyway 🙄
@chachi16xo So true, I still have no clue who she is. Thanks for your reply 😊
