how kiwis (that's me NZer's talk)...

[carole]

i thought i would post these for fun, most of you know i am a kiwi , and this is how we are supposed to sound or rather pronounce words apparently,e.g amejen = imagine, ear robucks = aerobics, so if you are down under any time, you might want to take this with you . i am more than happy to translate if need be lol.

Hahahaaaaa, good one! Do you speak that way, Carole?

[sana]

Haha! Nice! Thank You carole!
Now I want to listen to you guys speak! :P

OMG -- just so funny. So do YOU pronounce the words like that? I'm certain that the way they are posted on that list, is very much exaggerated. (eggs zajjer ate Ed)

Hee hee! I can hear them in my head as I read them! Thanks for sharing with us!

[carole]

you know what i think i probably do speak that way, i am not sure,,we honestly do pronounce things like that, i think maybe some are exaggerated, anyhow i am not a typical kiwi, as raised by scots, i do talk a bit different, but yes a real kiwi does talk pretty much that way ,was interesting to me as well.

I did have an old message i did on PT, where you could hear my voice, and i was going to post it, but came up with an invalid file, so sorry no can do, and i don't have a way to do it anymore.

We do actually talk quite different to the aussies ,but i know just as we think canadians and americans sound the same, although i can hear the difference myself,, most people think kiwis and aussies are the same, but take it from me we are NOT!!!
