Many people think that Australian English is just an accent, you don`t understand, but it is a completely different language!
▽▽▽
Hibiscus still remembers sitting on a plane that came to Australia and almost arriving when he heard the captain say excitedly on the radio: "Welcome to Australia to die!"
At that time, I was scared to circle, and now I will only look at the calm said:
If you want to be an authentic Western Australian, it`s not enough to learn a broad Australian accent. After all, our "Western Australian" is far more profound than you think.
Little hibiscus, "Western Australian" class has started ~
A place where the pronunciation of Topic1: is extraordinary.
Hibiscus recalls that, as an extremely important part of Western Australian, we have a lot of very unfriendly names in Western Australia.
1. Cockburn
Just when you get to Perth, you open Google Map and look around, and on the map there`s this amazing combination of words, Cock Burn (, and all the bad things going to the wall.)
Don`t say we don`t have a point. Even most locals know about it only because they pronounce Coh-burn correctly.
Of course, students who read as stingy Koben will be ridiculed by local people, but at least you deserve the English teacher in primary school.
2. Carlisle
This is kar-lee-soul..
Yes, even if you`ve been on Armadale Line, even if you`ve heard the name of the radio station a hundred times: K\ x {e16c} r-la-l (Carlyle), but in those days when you first came to Perth, you would still call it Cary search.
Who could have thought that the only s was silent.
3. Myer
This place is listed entirely because of our Chinese compatriots, who go almost every week, but always say, "Let`s go to Mom today."
This pronunciation will only make the three-dimensional design students tremble, but remember, this place is "sell", not "mother".
4. Innaloo
Inner-loo, is this so easy to get on the list?
You don`t necessarily know its predecessor is Njookenbooroo, it`s because the pronunciation is too difficult to change to the current Innaloo..
5. Mandjoogoordap
I know how to pronounce this word, and I read it as a tongue knot, a road name in Mandurah, long before the European colonists arrived on the Australian continent.
And it`s not that hard to pronounce, Man-jew-gooer-dap..
In fact, the rest of the place names are not very difficult, probably is able to put Monkey Mia,Joondalup,Marangaroo,Thorlie,Myaree,Rossmoyne,Bindjareb,Derbarl Yerrigan,Wagin.
These names are read correctly, even if they are over.
Actually, Furong thinks people should complain less about place names, after all, if you live in this small town in England, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
You will find that our Western Australia is still quite friendly to the local people.
This is not the most exciting, you know Bangkok is just an acronym?
The official full name is this:
I finally understand that Western Australia is good for me.
The Vocabulary of Topic2: `s clear thinking
Australians pronounce "Flat" (flat) and "Lazy" (lazy). It is said that there were too many flies in Australia in the early days. In order to avoid the flies going wrong and get into their mouths, they were trying to keep their mouths shut when they spoke. It also makes abbreviations abbreviated to a lot of words.
1. "O." Oh, whoa, whoa.
Rocko、Freo、Buno、Busso……
These European words refer to the local names of Western Australia, respectively, Rockingham,Fremantle,Bunbury,Busselton, our people in Western Australia are so unique in their way of being lazy.
2. Cute with strength
There are also some full names or intended to read or understand awkward, but abbreviations and abbreviations are another scene, such as Margaret River also known as Margs,Cottesloe or Cot.
Another example is the meaning and acronym of not being able to hit each other with eight poles:
Arvo refers to the afternoon Afternoon (S`Arvo-this afternoon!)
"Bogan" means "two dumplings," a big fool.
The more familiar avocado is called Avo-Avocado,Good On ya! It`s to praise a man for doing a good job and doing a good job.
What about Pash? it`s a little childish, it means a passionate boo-boo.
Barbie: originally refers to Barbie dolls, in Australia refers to our BBQ barbecue.
Ay: what, for "I don`t hear / understand, please repeat".
Stuffed showed that he was in trouble or screwed up.
Growing up in a wine jar, Aussie people, so fond of beer, Australian dialect can not be separated from beer this party, beer alone, there are several different styles.
In Australia, beer is generally considered by default to be a cold drink, A cold one is not talking about anything cold, but specifically refers to the Aussie`s favorite-iced bee
Another way to call it "Come over for a few coldie`s mate." is to remember to say, "Come over for a few coldie`s mate.," when Coldie, orders wine.
Frothy also refers to beer, while Stubby refers to bottled beer, and if you`re worried that bottled wine is hot with cold hands or your own hands, there`s a thing called Stubby holder.
When it comes to getting Woop Woop, it`s usually used to describe a remote area that doesn`t exist, such as peach blossoms, Darwin or Adelaide.
If you`re a wave rider, every time you want to say Awesome, you have to use the word Sick instead, otherwise it`s not cool.
Some of our Western Australia are called like people who live here, lovable with strength.
Topic3: `s strange slang
If you want to have a complete grasp of "Western Australian," slang, as a decisive link, often acts as a deterrent in everyday conversations and acts as an old Youtiao.
For example, any word has to be half-spoken, and the end of the word must end with ie: a breakfast is brekkie,
Chocolate is chokkie, vegetable is vegie, Christmas is Chrissie, gum is chewie, biscuit is bikkie, toilet is Dunnie,Sunnies is sunglasses even woolworth supermarket is also called woolies.
If someone tells you, thank you, you need to reply to No worries.
Someone told you, sorry, you need to reply to No worries.
Someone told you, excuse me, you still have to reply to No worries.
When you go out to eat BBQ with a friend of Local, you want to say "Put some snags on the barbie" when you bake things;
If your friend gets busy baking, you can also say "Flat out like a lizard drinking?".
When you eat this meal can not last, it is time to pop out this sentence "Full as a centipede's sock drawer", like a centipede sock drawer full, this description is quite cute ~
There are times, of course, when Aussie talk is not so cute. Say hello to an acquaintance:
In fact, Australians` love for the word Cxxt is almost the same as our silly X, so if you have Oz saying so, unless it is your ferromagnetism, please remember not to sacrifice the omnipotent reply "yeah" when you don`t understand. At the same time give him a word of your hometown`s dirtiest dirty work.
There is also a quiz below, we may as well check how much "earth" they have.
