Hello everyone, this is Billy. Today in this video, I'm going to be talking about Plymouth dialect words and phrases. The Plymouth dialect is one of the most distinctive dialects in southwest England and it's also called Janna.
Then let's take a look at some Janna words and phrases. The first one is OROI. You can guess what it means, right?
OROI is alright and this word has been made because of the JANA accent. In JANA, AI sound changes into OI sound. So people Plymouth say orroy instead of alright. So when Janus say hello to their mates, they use this word and usually put the phrase me lover and say like orroy me lover.
In this phrase, lover doesn't necessarily mean someone who you have a relationship with. In Plymouth, lover can mean anyone who seems nice. How lovely.
So when you want to say hello to Janus in a friendly way, you can say like orroy me lover. And let's see how different it is. You're right mate.
Alright me lover. You're right mate. Alright me lover. The next one is 배. You might think of the word 배, b-a-e, but b-e-y, has a slightly different meaning.
In the Plymouth dialect, 배 means mate or boy, so there's no romantic meaning attached to this word, like b-a-e, so when janice calls someone 배, they are just friendly calling someone. They also call call someone bird and that's not because that person always flies away or looks like an actual bird. In general, bird means a female friend or a female member of the family.
Then let's take a look at an example sentence. He's a handsome and nice mate, isn't he? He's a handsome bae, isn't he?
He's a handsome and nice mate, isn't he? He's a handsome bae, isn't he? The next phrase is where are you two?
Well, this phrase seems like it's grammatically wrong. or something's missing, but it's a proper Janna phrase. You might guess it could mean where are you going to, but in the Plymouth dialect, where are you to means where are you. Jannas tend to say to even though it doesn't mean any direction.
So they also say like where is it to, and it doesn't mean where is it going to. Where is it to simply means where is it, so don't be confused. Then let's see how different it is. Where are you and where is it?
Where are you two? And where's A2? Where are you?
And where is it? Where are you two? And where's A2?
The next word is asters. Can you guess what it means? In the Plymouth dialect, asters means aster. In Plymouth, people tend to put s at the end of some words.
So besides asters, journalists also say Tescos instead of just Tesco, Aldis instead of just Aldi, and lotteries instead of of the national lottery then let's take a look at an example sentence i've got to go to astra or tesco to do the national lottery i got gop astros or testicles to do me lotteries i've got to go to astra or tesco to do the national lottery i got gop astros or testicles to do me lotteries the next one is get on get on actually means get on and in general get on is used as a form of rating or encouragement so people in plymouth could say like to say hello or to even say goodbye. They could also say like to encourage their mates. Then let's take a look at an example sentence. Hello, my Plymouth friend.
Get on your Jenner! Hello, my Plymouth friend. Get on your Jenner!
The last one is green army. This word seems to be related to military, but it's not. In general, green army means Plymouth Argyle Football Club, and I guess that's because because Plymouth football players wear green uniforms. People in Plymouth are also enthusiastic football fans like other British football fans.
So in Plymouth, you can hear football fans shout this phrase, Green Army. If you want to support Plymouth Argyle Football Club, you can just shout back this phrase, Green Army, when you hear someone shout it, like this. Go Plymouth Argyle FC!
Green Army! Green Army! Go Plymouth Argyle FC!
Green Army! Green Army! Now we know some Plymouth dialect words and phrases.
