English differences Among 4 countries! (American,British,Aussie,Canadian)

hello hi i'm callie i'm from the usa hi i'm katie and i'm from england hi i'm mia and i'm from australia hi i'm kerry and i'm from canada so which country's english is the most different from your country maybe america's english is going to be the most different from my country because i think with canadian english we still have like some words or like phrases we'll say similar and then australian i think we have like a lot of similarities even with some like slang and they're agreeing words i think for like british english is definitely the most different from america i was gonna say the same maybe i was between australian and british english but after doing some previous videos with lauren it was like i couldn't understand some of the expressions at all that they're doing of course i know it's different region by region yeah it just opened my eyes how totally different um that it can be so yeah i think british english is most i feel caught a bit because geographically i'm close to america so i sound american but historically you know we're all part of like the commonwealth so we have similar vocabulary expressions some slang so i almost i guess i would say australian would be the most different i was gonna say like do you get exposed to like any australian english or slang like outside of australia because it's not many probably just from shows like tv because australia is so isolated we're like totally outside of the world really though yeah like isolated like people don't know not that we don't yeah like like geographically isolated right [Laughter] in the u.s we would say cookies uh this is like kind of conflicting for me because the one that's in the picture exactly is a cookie however if there were not like chocolate chips or some kind of chunk inside of the biscuit then it would just be a biscuit so that picture's a cookie without the chunks it would be a biscuit but i know that america says cookie for all of them yeah oh that's like very dependent on the chunk i'm trying to think of like different kinds of cookies to ask you about yeah actually australia is the exact same like that specific one is a cookie like a chocolate chocolate chip cookie but other biscuits are biscuits yeah yeah in canada that's a cookie in the us we have a very specific thing that we would call a biscuit it's like a bread roll but it's very flaky yeah yeah something like that do you have a word for this because it's not exactly a scone because we also have scones like we could differentiate a scone in a biscuit so what would you call a biscuit we don't have them then because we've only got sweet scones maybe i just say all those american biscuit things [Music] [Laughter] those things interesting in the us we would say mailman in the uk we call it the postman in australia we also call it the postman or posty for short like some people do say posty but it's not super common i mean i've never called a postman of postie but some people do so yeah in canada that's a postman like in the u.s people would maybe not use this as much but we would know what it is because we say post office right post office so postman doesn't sound too strange to me posty is very strange to me but it's very cute like toasty prezzy this is cute yeah it does sound cute sometimes too but in like the eye and the stuff and i think if we said posty we'd be thinking about like a post office like i'm just going to the post like i feel like that's a really like slang thing and maybe from where i'm from okay so yeah i think post office i think i would have no clue like post post it post malone it's like like a cereal or a snack or something somebody else that's the truth but mailman is is it weird to say mailman that sounds amazing it doesn't one of my friends back home said mailman [Music] judge them don't [Laughter] judge in the u.s we would say my favorite movie is harry potter in the uk we would say my favorite movie is harry potter in australia we would say my favorite movie is harry potter in canada we'd say my favorite movie is harry potter i like the way that potter harry potter i expected it to be a little bit more strong from you like harry potter you know in the movie it's very strange it's like harry potter should i really like play it up harry potter yeah i guess like maybe southerners would say it like that yeah my accent is like the er is more like a like harry potter i think that might be like a northern thing you say the cheese too yeah it seems like the rest of us did like the d sound more harry potter yeah right right you said the tea harry potter is it usually like that water yeah water butter potter like it's all yeah de-fried it's got like a mixture of like the way that we all kind of say worse because you guys say like the d instead of t right and then like i'll put like the air or the off yeah but you guys really pronounce the r so it feels like so we're just like mixture of it stupid got the dirt but you've got like the softer ending yes it feels like a mixture of the way that which is so weird like now i think about it yeah like water harry potter oh powder was really good okay yeah powder was convincing can i hear it one more time that sounds the same potter yeah it's close say harry potter together harry potter yeah in the us i would say it's more common to say what are you going to do this tuesday night in the uk we would say what you're going to do this tuesday night in australia we'd say what are you going to do this tuesday night in canada we'd say what are you going to do this tuesday night we're all the same yeah all right what are you going to do do you say tuesday or tuesday tuesday wednesday i say tuesday tuesday queues june like two weeks tuesday yeah your tuesday tuesday yeah oh not tuesday okay so that's the big difference there tuesday so people in like my area would say tuesday like tuesday tuesday [Music] i usually say i'm dead me too yeah i'm dead just i'm really tired yeah uh in the uk i mean yeah i guess i'm gonna say i'm dead or you sound knackered i'm shattered or we just feel like i am yeah exactly the same like i'm always just more of like a yeah like i literally cannot i can't i would think like uh you're screwed yeah you have a big problem it's not like i i can't be bothered to like do that right [Music] oh you know then i'm gonna guess does it mean to make a u-turn you guys know what it means if i said to hang a roger i learned this i think i before said hang a louie turn right right turn right turn right yeah right turn right do you know hang a louie do you see that turn left okay someone knows hang on lily lillian roger i guess last time no one believed me hang a louie you know it hope that i'm never driving with an american canadian navigation he's like who's roger he's like roger roger what's wrong it was really fun like we laughed so much ways that we say things on the different slides i really enjoy doing that that was a lot of fun i think that's one of my favorite things about like meeting people from other countries is just like finding their different slangs and like learning things like that so true yeah we all speak the same language but this type of slang and our different vocabulary is what kind of makes it yours so it's yeah it's really fun to kind of see what makes our english our english yeah official yeah yeah it's like same same but different different flavors yeah i had a lot of fun talking with you guys there's like some memorable ones i loved postie i thought i think i think that's so cute i just want to like since you said everything's with the ie i just want to like not everything not everything okay like i just want to make these rhymes like the toasty makes a toasty or something like it's so cute in australia you'd fit right in so today we talked about differences in english between our four different countries if you liked the video please like and subscribe and
