[Niamh.]

Scottish accents I read all that in Scottish too haha

I don't know really what would be even considered dialectal, like apparently adding so onto the end of sentences isn't commonplace, I never even thought about it before until i think it was Ben pointed it out to me one time but I would do that alot

eg : Are we going to the cinema so?

also I have an Australian friend and she thought it was unusual that in Ireland "Come here to me" means "I have to ask you something"

Seriously? I have had lots of Irish friends over the years, but I really did not know that, or even ever heard it before.

I think that we are ALL Chameleons in some respects LT. I don't really have a 'broad' Yorkshire accent, but it does seem to rise up when I'm with friends who do for any length of time.

Actually this documentary lets you understand the west coast accent well. This will be how josy sounds early in the morning

I say all of the typical Irish stuff with an added mixture of typical British and American words. My bf speaks American English, I am slowly weaning him off it but to be understood for now I have gotten into the habit of that mixture.

I still say some typical Irish things like
"I will make dinner now in a minute", which just means soon, not now or in a minute.

But now I say cupboard instead of press.

I say Laundry, but I used to say Washing.

One other thing I do is speak some English with Portuguese grammar, for example; "butter without salt" instead of "unsalted butter"

[Niamh.]

haha now in a minute, that's one I use alot too

[jennyjuniper]

I've lost much of my Yorkshire accent, but occasionally if I'm suprised I'll still come out with 'Well I'll be buggered', or 'I'll go tut foot of our stairs'. I still sometimes call sweets 'spice' and call people 'love'.

[Livia]

I say 'two and eight' for state, ie: "he was in a bit of a two and eight". That said, people who do rhyming slang usually make me cringe. I tend to use more Yiddish words if I'm with my family or friends.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i told smallest boy LT to "hud yer wheeest ya wee brat" when he was being noisy at the weekend

that is a great scottish saying

as is "aww hud yer horses" when you want someone to show some patience

[Ashley.]

Nah instead of no
