Does "Aye" mean "yes"???

[nickilubs]

Aye, I say it hehe its because I lived in Ireland for a bit. My OH is Irish and he always says it also I want to say wee instead of small all the time!

Down west country we have yarp, haha might just be be but thats my yes "yarrrp your right" and "purrrdy" instead of pretty when I was in Ireland that really confused people coz they couldn't say it. The woman I worked with used to call me Bambi because of how I would talk. And I'm forever getting told I talk too quiet but I really just think its my accent.

Ulster scots say wain, and bairn, and hame for home, and dinny, for dont, canny for cant...however im from a mixed, rural area so we speak so fast we just sound like this ----------------------------------------- and we say boy after everything.

" ammagoinferarideinpaddystrac'r boy!"

We say 'aye' too!! I always say "oh aye" rather than oh yes!?
And I say "nah" more than no!

'ladeda speech'

 

[Jen & Her Men]

I was the same when I moved up here from the south west of england. There are so many new words I've come across, blether, bairn, quine, ned, wifey

I still can't follow the conversation when people are speaking in really strong doric accents. I just have to smile and look like a complete idiot!
It used to throw me when people said 'ya mind' instead of 'do you remember'

I often call a bin a bucket now, and pound coins 'singles', it rubs off on you after a while. Nae bother

Your right is rub of on you after a while
ive been down here to lond i refer to babies as well babies
and its Bairn to us Northerners i only say it when i'm up home

ah hate losing touch with my accent and dialect

sarah

I didn't understand a word of that

You wanna use the Alan Partridge quote when he's talking to the Geordie bloke with the strong accent:

"No, sorry Michael, that's just noise!"

I LOVE Alan Partridge!!
