Kain- known. Theres a big list of words next to his video that explains the english haha.
Well somebody was asking me how they can speak like me. Well its no as easy as that, like, you've got to, I'd suggest to you.. spend 5 years in Central Fife and then whit to do is is tour all around the countryside. Just walking about listening to all the different accents, and you have to change them in order to make other people ken what yer sayin
And if you gan up the north east of Scotland you will get all the farm folk and get a wee job on the farm and you will hear the farm folk speak, you ken?
Like when they are talking aboot thats affy when yer oot of work(awful when you are out of work) The trade is all so dull. I tried my best to get a job dae what er a will. (do whatever I can.) I will try again sometimes.
Most Native Scots retain a distinct accent. Althought there common accents differs wildy. I like to try speak English although people will not understand whit I am on about. Well (laugh) noone kains what I'm on about anyways.
Some Scottish words and expression are used across the whole country.Some are not. Dinnae- don't Cannae- Can't Willnae- won't. Aye- yes. Wee- means small. Greet- Cry. Kirk- Church. Breeks- Pants. Lassie- Girl, Bairn- small child. Flit- move house.
English words reveal scottish from accent.
Are you no goin
Aren't you going?
Am away to bed.
Sorry I canny speak the English of that.
Well there you go![]()
