Re: Accents [Re: koods]
    #19139845 - 11/15/13 07:12 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I was waiting for a train once in Agen, France. I had missed the one I had a ticket for, because my connecting train to Agen was canceled and replaced by a slow country bus. But I had bought another ticket for the TGV, and if that one was on time I might just make it to Toulouse in time for my flight. So I stood there on the platform waiting, stressed out of my ribcage, the minutes on the timetable ticking down.
Then, instead of the train arriving on time, the timetable display called me a mentally handicapped person. THE NERVE!

I was not impressed with the TGV. I thought it should have gone faster. The French do good art, and you can get a small amount of expensive food, but engineers they ain't.

I like the way the Dutch speak English, and they all do. I've spent about 10 days in Amsterdam over the years and I never encountered a native who couldn't speak English.




On behalf of my countrymen: thanks for the compliment.
Although I do acknowledge that we tend to speak English with a rather funny accent, like Apolly found out.

Speaking of accents, I was hitting the bars in my town one night with a friend. We bumped into two ladies; one Australian (easy to identify by her accent), the other..well, kind of hard to guess where she was from. Honestly, we couldn't guess it, but she turned out to be Ukrainian. Anyway, my friend and me decided that it would be safe to communicate in Dutch between the two of us, as the girls obviously wouldn't understand. Fast forward a couple of hours and the Russian girl asks me to say something to her in Dutch. She responded in Dutch, and damn nearly without any noticeable accent...turns out she was a linguist with 4 years of studying Dutch under her belt. :facepalm: Gorgeous lady, too.

Ah, that would be too much to say, really. I mean, with a population of 67 million, they managed to have kept a technologically very advanced position in several challenging industries, including aircraft (military and civilian), nuclear (idem), railway transportation, construction, automotive and many others. They're on par with Japan or even ahead of them in many areas. And that for a population half the size and with far shorter working hours. It's quire remarkable, if you think about it.

They're right next to Germany though, so you can see how their engineering ends up overshadowed.

No offense but isn't it kind of impolite to do this kind of thing?

I wasn't really serious. It's the stereotype.


Last time I was in Amsterdam, I went with a friend of mine for a long weekend. We were walking down the street, and he was telling me about this Dutch guy he had a fling with in Canada a few years earlier. While he is telling me this, he SEES this guy on the street in front of us. Completely random. I couldn't believe it. The guy ends up giving us a tour of all the good clubs and places to go.

so glad you didn't get on that train though! I bet you were a little shaken up after hearing about that

Are you sure that's your accent? I bet you sound more like the barber I used when I lived in Montreal. Ee would tell me habout is son, has ee was cutting my air. Is son was a peelot, ooh flewd da hairplenes. Hostie. Tabernac.




No I don't sound like that. Maybe when I'm a little nervous or looking for what to say, my french accent becomes stronger, but other than that, my english is perfect.

As for the Rob Ford vid, I don't hear an accent at all. THerefore he clearly must have one lol.

Of course it is, and we kept it at a minimum. Didn't actually say anything harmful to each other about the girls either. More along the lines of "are we going to walk to the railway station to find a taxi?" "Nah, I think there's usually some just around the corner." You know, practical things.

That is a coincidence indeed!
Reminds me; I was walking in some other city with a girl the other day and she waves at a person waiting to cross the street, like us. So I asked her if she knew the girl. "Yeah," she says, "but not really; I was waiting for the bus some time ago and she was there too, being chased by a wasp." Small coincidences. They're fun.

I took the subway to Union station an hour later, and when I got into the station there were TV trucks all over the place. I had no idea what was going on. When I got home, my roommate had the news on, and he said "oh, did you hear about that accident?" I said no, and then I listened for the details and yelled "you idiot, that's the train I usually take home!"

In terms of accents that really get me going, for girls:
certain English ones, I suppose Australian as well, German is mad sexy but sometimes annoying, idk. I know I'm missing something here for sure. Girls with real heavy New York accents =  :doggystyle:  :doggystyle:  :doggystyle:

In terms of accents that don't get me in a sexually deviant mood, northern great plains like the Dakotas and shit are funny and I love them. Like the ones in Fargo, if that's how they actually talk. and Southern Gentlemen with real, real heavy southern accents are great. I love that shit.

edit - WTF RUSSIAN of course, knew I was missing something.
