How do Canadians sound like?

[Zero In]

DO they have their own accent or they sound like Americans? Or British perhaps?

 

[DesignDawg]

Damn Canadians. RSI, get in here and let us all know that Canadians don't have an accent. Tell us all aboat it.

Every American I've talked to has said I have no accent whatsoever....which means I just sound like a "regular american" i guess.

now, RSI is a quebecer....so he's probably got quite the accent on him

 

[SexEPid]

[DesignDawg]

What movie or show was it where they kept making the Canadian representative say "about"?
I can't remember now, but it sure was hilarious

I pronounce certain words which people believe contains a Nova Scotian accent. It isn't a different accent though, its really a different pronounciation. Like i'll say "out" or "about", but to others it sounds like "oat" and "aboat"


other than those two words nobody can tell the difference

From B.C. to Ontario, everybody pretty much sounds like an American. Quebecers have, of course, a more French-like accent (although it is signature Quebecois ). The Maritime provinces have a sort of Irish-like accent...kind of subtle (it seems to be more-so in Newfoundland, and less Irish-like in the other provinces).

I moved here from canada 10 years ago. All i remember is that my US friend noticed that i said "a-gain" instead of "agen" like they did. I'm not sure if thats a canadien thing or just me heh.

Guy I work with is Canadian.. he cracks me up some days when every other word is EH?? He says "aboot" too..

 

[noxipoo]

i was oot and aboot in toronto last new years and they didn't sound that much different eh?

 

[toph99]

i'm from ontario, and as far as i know, except for the occasional 'eh' i speek without much of an accent

 

[Mday]

everyone has an accent.

and canadians have their own varied accents.

wtf is the american accent... have you ever been to new york, boise, boston (all parts), portland, springfield...

and even england have their different accents...

duh...

zero in, your question makes no sense... ;-)

 

[ultravox]

at least we pronounce roof correctly as opposed to saying ruff.....now if we could only get rid of those extra letters in colour and flavour.......

 

[Jonny]

I don't sound any different than ya'll.

And the whole "eh?" thing....its not really as bad as you think.

 

[kami]

well, "eh?" is a lot better than "huh?"

 

[dennilfloss]

We sound like a dream to some...and a nightmare to others!!!

Carmina Burana (Carl Orff)

 

[kami]

oh yeah, that's right...the ladies better take caution. Our sexy voices will have you wrapped around our fingers.

 

[Dedpuhl]

I have a part canadian friend that says "eh", "aboot", and she pronounces vodka funny. Those wacky canadians rule...

 

[Wangel]

Aye?

 

[Jonny]

thats right...we are dead sexy...

 

[Dameon]

Canadians:

Z is not ZED. There's ONE letter there, Z. Pronounced Zeeeeee.

ay is another of their aggrivating colloquialisms.

Two instant giveways when I take support calls they're from Canadia....
