캐나다 말하기: 하지만 당신은 Ottawan 말 할?

제출 11 ì›” 8, 2010 – 11:26 에4 댓글

대부분의 미국인, 영국의, 호주, 기타 English-speakers who move to Canada assume that they’ll be able to understand Canadian English.

사실, 우리는 미국에서 캐나다로 이주하기 전에, it didn’t occur to me that there would be as many differences between Canadian and American English as there are.

So I had to learn to take my grocery purchases to the till (the cash register), put on my runners (sneakers or tennis shoes) before going for a walk, 물론, in winter always wear a 만지지 (pronounced “toook” — and it’s a ski hat)!

Perhaps that’s why I especially enjoyed reading a recent post from Let’s Go Ottawa: An Insider’s Guide to Ottawa and Canada’s Capital Region.

It’s called “당신은 Ottawan를 í•  줄 아세요?“

When Ottawans talk about “the Market” 또는 “the Sens” 또는 “the Chateau,” do you know what they mean?

I didn’t.

읽기 “당신은 Ottawan를 í•  줄 아세요?” and you’ll find out!

당신은 어떻게? Are there other Canadian words or phrases that have puzzled you? 댓글을 남겨서 알려주세요..

    I work in BC at one of the mines and the miners (operators mostly)say you betcha after asking to do something or if you can do something.

    My relative is working in Canada and she is telling me that she really can’t understand some of the Canadian language too. The sahring in this post actually got me pretty excited to learn their language. It may be hard the first time but once I get used to it, I know I’ll learn it someday.

    I rarely say the till though… but yes, there are some British English expressions or words in Canadian English. 플러스 몇몇 프랑스어!

      I had to get used to Canadian/British spelling, 너무. I had expected some differences from American spelling — like colour, neighbour, 맛, centre, theatre, kilometre — but there were many I had to learn. 라이센스 (하지 라이센스), ìž…í•™ 절차를 밟다 (등록하지), traveller (not traveler), 수표 (확인하지), jewellery (하지 보석)…

      밴쿠버, there’s much less French than in Ottawa. Are there common French expressions you frequently hear?
