Torneyboy Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Well jack-schist, I agree with the Kiwi way as you've related. but I ammend the Aussie way to what it sounds like to me.... Chers Coss Aussies say: "feesh and Cheeps" Kiwis say: "fush and chups" Aussies say: "skeem meelk" kiwis say: "skum mulk" Aussies say: " there are seexty girls on my farm" Kiwis say " there are sexy sheep on my farm" hope that clears things up a bit GTG. No Aussies speak like this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Years ago I was out with a girl in Sydney ... uh I mean Sinny, when she happened to mention that everyone commented on her Swedish accent. Then I listened carefully. She did have a Swedish accent, but I hadn't noticed it before underneath the Strine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabbish Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Ah, that reminds me of another language question. Why do Scandinavians pepper their English speech with "For sure..."? They nearly always say it but no other nations do this. swedish ppl use whatever frases that are popular in american english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
