Hi, this is View from Point of View channel.

The setting for today looks quite strange, doesn't it?

This is because right now I'm in Tokyo, Japan!

But I'm not taking you guys on a tour or anything

There's no landscape or such thing like that behind me

There's just this View sitting in front of you guys right here...

Today I'm at Youtube Creator Summit

And, of course, just like the year before, I got the chance to meet other foreign creators

So, for today, I'd like to present you guys these two Australian Youtube creators

And some of you may not know this

because, when speaking of English, the schools here only focus on American English and British English

In fact, there are so many different accents of English

So, my two friends and I have decided to do a collab for this video

I'll be sitting quietly most of the time in this video,

because we'll be talking about Australian English!

which is English language in an Australian way

We're doing this because they have so many unique slangs

which we might have no clue what they mean

I believe that this video should be useful for those who're going to visit Australia

or need to communicate with the Australians,

or about to go study in Australia

Okay, are you guys ready?

But before that, don't forget to turn on the subtitle

because these two friends of mine can't speak Thai, of course.

So I'll be speaking English the entire time too.

Okay, let's turn it on.

Have you done it?

Are you guys all set?

If yes, let's go meet them!

Hello, everyone

Hello

Hi

We're back again at Creator Summit

And I have two guests with me here

You're surrounded by Australians

Both of them are Australian. Emma and Jacob

Everyone knows Emma from our last video, last year.

She owns an English channel

Do you want to introduce yourself again?

Sure, so, my channel is "mmmEnglish"

Some of you may remember me from last time I caught up with View

But my channel is about teaching intermediate English language uses

to improve their speaking confidence

and their pronunciation

And... new one

Hello, I'm jacob and I write songs

and tour around the world with original music

I'm just a musician that tries to write inspirational and meaningful words and lyrics for people

He has amazing songs and his film clips are beautiful as well

So definitely check out his channel

Check out both of their channel

As I'm surrounded by two Aussies here

Especially Australian English, they have their own slangs

and I don't think I understand a word

It doesn't make any sense

So, our video today is about Aussie slang

They will try to pick up a word and I'll guess it

and you guys can guess with me

Yeah you gotta guess as well

So, if you're ready to learn and join the fun

Let's get started

So, View, are you ready for your Australian slang test?

Jacob and I are going to test you on some of these weird and wonderful Australian slang words

that maybe lots of your viewers may have heard Australian tourists using in Thailand quite a bit

because this language is really really common

but even amongst other native English speakers

they have no idea what we're talking about either

So, this is a little challenge for View

We're gonna say how many she gets right

and if she doesn't quite get it right

then Jacob and I are gonna explain how we use that word.

The first one, we'll start easy.

It's arvo

Arvo?

Spelled A-R-V-O

Is that easy?

Yeah

Well, I think Australians like to shorten things

like, Australian to Aussie

So maybe arvo means avocado?

So close

Actually, avo is avocado, short

But this is arvo, with an r, it's different

Well, in context, see you in the arvo

Would see you later S'arvo

Afternoon?

Where does the V come from?

Because it would sound odd if you say arfo

Does it sound odd?

I think so, but maybe not

We would say some examples will be: We'll see you on Wednesday arvo

which is Wednesday afternoon

What are you doing this arvo?

Yeah, sometimes we'll put an S in front

So, when you have this, it's S'arvo

S'arvo

So you develop from arvo to s'arvo?

Yeah, sometimes

Where does this S come from? And this V come from?

Okay okay okay, I'm worried that we're gonna make everyone cried

Okay, let's move on

So, the next one is not s'arvo

but servo

What?

Servo

How can you spell that?

S-E-R-V-O

Other words can you think of that start with serv...

Surfing?

Serve food?

Yes, they do that there

I don't know

I give up

It's service station

which is like a petrol station

So, we would say servo

Get your fuel from the servo

Gas station

It's a gas station but in Australia you call it a service station

and you shorten it to servo

Oh, my

It's like, two layers

So complicated

And, like, all of these words are so common, right?

Afternoon, service station, or gas station

It's really common

Avocado is avo

All of these words are really really common and we shorten it

I'm sorry

I get it because in Thai we have many words that we shorten for nothing too

And it's quite confusing

So maybe next time I'll arrange you with those words

Alright, so let's do another one

What about barbie?

like the doll

blond girl?

Barbecue

One point for Point of View

Okay, what about Sanga?

You say the context

I love the taste of that sanga

How can you spell it?

S-A-N-G-A

A word starts with sang...

No, wrong way to think about it

It has to be layers again

It's really hard to guess this one actually

This one is sandwich

Sandwich? Why do you shorten it into sanga?

It's so much easier to say it

It's two syllables the same

San-ga! Sand-wich!

Sandwich, you break a sweat when you say the word

But you need to say sanga, it just comes out freely

So, how easy is it to say, instead of sandwich, sanga?

I'll try to understand that

Right, so, it's like, I think I'll just pack a ham sanga

No one says that

But I'm gonna start saying that

What about toasty?

Toasty is different to toast

A toasty is like a toasted sandwich

They're not just toasted bread, but a toasted sandwich

So if you took your sanga and you toasted it

it'd become a toasty

The problem is, in Thai, we call everything sandwich

So I have a good one now

This one is bloody

which sounds like a really awkward, sort of, yeah, gruesome

like, if something is bloody, there's lots of blood, right?

But in Australia, it's much more commonly used in slang

Do you know how we would use it?

I think of, like, British slang

like, bloody hell

Oh, yes, it's the same

because Australian English actually comes from British English

They have a lot of similarities, so you're right!

Thank you, Ron Weasley, for this point

Yeah, Ron

So, it's like, you can use it in a similar way to very, really

If someone says bloody hell

you're passionate when you say that

you add a passion to a word, yeah

So, you might say "Oh! That's bloody great!"

For you, Thai people, 'bloody' you can use it as Kot (โคตร)

like Kot Raeng (โคตรแรง), something like that

It's kind of impolite in Thailand

But everyone says it

Raeng (แรง) means strong

But when you say Kot Raeng (โคตรแรง)

it means oh! That's bloody strong

So, not that impolite, but it's weird to hear a foreigner say it

So, bloody means 'very'

Next one

Alright, so we've got a couple more that I got here to ask you

The next one is ciggie

C-I-G-G-I-E

Ah, cigarette?

Yes

That's a very standard, traditional shortening

because it keeps the start of the word

At the beginning, I thought it was S, so

Oh, no, C-I-G-G-I-E

Well, very very close if we were to say sickie

If you were to pull a sickie

Or chuck a sickie

Chuck a sickie or pull a sickie

What would you be doing?

But this word is spelled S-I-C-K-I-E

Someone was sick?

Right, yeah

Say, if you were to chuck a sickie, what would you be doing

Chuck? I don't know. Kill someone?

So, it's quite common to hear pull a sickie, like you said

and chuck a sickie, as well

I wonder if any of your viewers have actually done this before

but it's when you call up your job, your work or your boss

and say, "I'm not really feeling well today"

"I'm gonna stay at home"

But you're not really sick

you're just like, I wanna go meet my friends or do something else

You're pretending to be sick so that you cannot go to work

I know it

In Thai, we have a word too

We call it "political sick"

Yes, exactly

So in Australia, we would say, "Oh, I chucked a sickie"

or "I pulled a sickie"

I thought you're like put some sick people and throw them

Throwing sick people?

Alright, what about knock off?

Like, unconscious?

You could actually kill someone

But if we said, "We're gonna knock him off"

It means, that could mean we're killing them

We're gonna just knock him off and, yes, kill him

Knock him off?

Yeah, what if you just knock off?

Deep sleep?

No, that's like nod off

But this is knock off

Alarm them? No. Warn them?

I think it relates to workplace as well

So, you relate knock off to workplace

No idea at all

So that is when you're about to finish work

And you knock off and you go home

So you might knock off early and then you go home early from work

You finish work earlier

So, I could also say, "Jacob, what time do you knock off tonight?"

yes

So, it relates to what you do when you got off your work, like, bye, I'm going

You could think of it like that to help you remember

But nobody actually has to knock

It's when you're completely done, you sign your sheet for the day

You've done your hours and you head home

New idiom again

Uh huh, yeah, exactly

Oh, it's too hard

So, I think that you did really well there

That was quite a few really challenging ones there

But I think the whole point is that

Australians always have, like, this

their own language that they use when they're in Australia, talking to Australians

that Thai people, obviously, but also other English speakers

just have no idea what we're talking about

So now that you've learned all these shorten words

Bonus round

What would a choccy biccy be

Choccy biccy?

Chocolate bar?

You got the first one right

Chocolate something

Chocolate @#$!

I don't know, I give up!

I gave up since the first word

You got chocolate, that's good

It's a chocolate biscuit

A biccy is a biscuit

I can have biscuit in Australia now

TimTams, they are famous chocolate biscuits

Oh, TimTam, we have that too

Oh, you have them

Lucky you

So, this is all Australian slangs we have today

That was probably, like, that much of all of it

So, everyone who's going to study abroad in Australia

you should study...

You definitely need to know arvo, avo, sanga, barbie

Oh! Snag

What is snag?

What is snag?

Sausage

We have to stop, we have to stop

Well, I think my viewers will like it

They always love when I sit and just look confused all the time

because in most of my videos, I was like

I know this, and I talk, talk, talk non-stop

Like, oh my god, she's a real person

She doesn't know

I think you did a great job

I think if you ever meet an Australian person, you just have to practice one of those and know it

So that you could say, "Do you feel like going and grabbing a sanga?"

Yeah, let's go to the servo

And grab a ciggie

And anyone who hears you will just be like

You're one of us

And you two can use Kot (โคตร) as very

Er, I'm worried about that now

Oh, no, not that impolite

Anyway, thank you so much, Jacob and Emma

Definitely check their channels, they are cool

And see you again later

Maybe next year

Next year at the next Creator Summit

If they let me in

After they see this video, they'll let you in

So, if you like this video

don't forget to share, like and subscribe

See you again next time, bye

Sawaddee ka

Like, last year, you can use Ngoo Ngoo Pla Pla (งูๆ ปลาๆ)

Yeah, Ngoo Ngoo Pla Pla

Oh, man, what is that?

It's snake snake and fish fish

What does it mean?

You can be Thai people now, if you know it

I forget. It's an idiom

So it has a separate meaning

Okay, so it has nothing to do with the animals?

Slimy animals?

No, nothing related at all

Ngoo Ngoo Pla Pla means I know a little English

Okay, that makes zero sense

Because they are common animals

It makes no sense

No sense at all

Snake snake fish fish, okay
