Can you say hi?
"HIIIiiiiii"
Uh yeah G'day and welcome to this instructional video on
how to teach a kid New Zealand slang.
Uh now New Zealand slang is is quite hard to understand,
not as hard as Aussie slang but still pretty hard. So the best way to teach your kid is by using the
'repeat after me' method.
So I've chosen 10, I've written down 10 uh kiwi slang or New Zealand slang words here and...
She's gone.
She's back. You ready? "YEP"
High five?
Okay first word I've got here is 'SWEET AS'.
Uh 'sweet as' that just means everything's okay, all good, sounds like a great plan
Can you say 'sweet as man'? "SWEET AS MAN"
That's the one, right word number two - 'HARD CASE'. Hard case means uh, funny,
that person is funny, that person is a hard case. Can you say 'Dad's a hard case'?
"DAD'S HARD CASE" That's the one, high five?
Word number three - CHUR. Which just means thanks or cheers man, all good.
Can you say Chur bro?
*GIGGLES
Can you say 'Chur'
"HER..."
Yeah I gotta hear the 'ch' Can you say 'Chur'.
"CHUR"
We'll take it, right word number four - GUTTED. Uh gutted means, um...
Gutted means stink. Gutted means 'oh I'm absolutely gutted'.
It's really hard to...Gutted, it should be a real good word that's a...
Gutted means very disappointed. Um you know, 'oh mate your car got broken into last night'
'Oh gutted'. Can you say 'oh gutted?'
"OH GA%*#@"
Not 'oh garlic' 'oh gutted'...
"OH GUTTED!"
Uh next word, hey listening we're in school all right, no clapping ok?
Next word is 'YEAH NA'. Uh 'Yeah na' is basically a Kiwi's way of politely saying 'no'
because we don't want to sound mean. So hey, 'hey man can I borrow your car this weekend?' 'Uh yeah na'....
So Nala can you say 'yeah nah?'
"YEAH NA"
'Yeah na'
"YEAH NAAAA"
Right next word um GUMMIES. Which is an abbreviation for the word Gumboot.
It's a, it's a shoe, it's a boot. Can you say 'Where's my gummies?'
"WHERE'S MY GUMMIES?"
Right, word number whatever we're up to, HUNGUS. Hungus would be if me and Nala here
were having fish and chips and she like, just kept eating really fast and eating everything
and only left me with a little bit - I'd say "Ah man you're a Hungus. Can you say 'Hungus'?
"ARGHHH"
Wuh?
"HUNGUS"
There it is. I don't know what you did at the start there it's like I put you on mute.
Oh BUGGER. Bugger means when basically,
when anything goes wrong. You get a flat tyre, 'bugger'. Your kid draws on the walls, 'oh bugger'.
Right you ready? You've just woken up, you've, you've pooped your bed, you would say
'oh bugger'. Can you say 'oh bugger'?
"OH BUGGER!"
That's great.
'SHE'LL BE RGHT' - uh this is used throughout the country which basically just means no matter what,
everything will be okay. You're locked out your house, 'ah she'll be right'.' Um your kid's
biting the table damaging her teeth 'ah she'll be right'. It's nothing to do with like woman,
it's just in a, it's just a slang thing.
Hey can you say 'she'll be right'?
"SHE"LL BE RIGHT"
Um moving on to the very last one, 'NOT EVEN'.
'Hey! Hey you, you stole my shoes didn't you!?'
And they'd say 'oh not even!' I don't know how to put it into a good definition but 'not even' means
Na! Wasn't me, not even.
Nala did you draw on the walls?
And then..
"YES"
No no you would, you wouldn't say yes, you'd say 'not even'
Can you say 'not even?'
"NOT EVEN"
That's the one, high five? Uh and that was how to teach your kid New Zealand slang
and uh no kids were harmed in the making of this video. Can you say bye? "BYE"
Oh bugger.
"OHHH BUGGER!"
