Howyagoin?

Posted on 15 April 2010 by Sammy

Canadians sometimes have trouble understanding us Australians, even though we both speak English.

Me (in an Aussie accent): Howyagoin’?
Canadian: Sorry?
Me (trying to speak louder & clearer): Howyagoin’?
Canadian: How’s IT going????
Me: Uhh, yeah.
Canadian: Good!!!!!!

It reminds me of this YouTube video I found awhile ago, which shows the staff of a restaurant say the typical Aussie greeting. Pretty funny. Makes me realise how nasal we sound.

    Your conversation is very similar to the one I had with an American girl. She looked completely baffled at Howyagoin’? and after I explained she just said ‘Why can’t you just say how are you?’

    I was!

    and do we sound sound that nasal? XD
