no every other anglo country says fish and chips correctly.

If we're wrong, you're saying the whole world is wrong. And that you're the only correct one.
>>
>>56710497
thats how you say six in a lot of languages
>>
>>56710582
Kek, your 'i's aren't pronounced the same as the rest of the world either. You pronounce 'six' like 'seex,' which to the rest of the world sounds like 'sex' too. You're suffering a similar condition as the 'tfw accentless' syndrome.
>>56710452
>ours is more fush and chups
What it is is that 'e' becomes 'i,' but 'i' becomes 'u.'

Literally nine times out of ten this is the case for most things when it comes to New Zealand and the rest of the world.
>>
>>56711192
you couldn't be more wrong. We pronounce everything correctly but you butcher the shit out of words.

You LITERALLY pronounce six as sex.
>>
Cock
>>
>>56711748
YOU literally pronounce six as seex.
And we pronounce six as sux.

In New Zealand they call these "Pigs"

First time I was at a kiwi friends place and heard them saying

"Did you get the pigs off the line"

I was like wtf are they talking about...
pigs on a line.. what do they mean line.. do they have pet pigs?
Then I was like ahhh "They mean pegs and the clothes line"
>>
>>56711888
good triples
>>
>>56711823

We pronounce it as sicks

You literally call it sex.
>>
>>56711888
at work one of the kiwi guys says "pens" instead of "pins"

why do they get "i" and "e" around the wrong way?
>>
>>56711865
Lmao, you're pronouncing it halfway between 'sex' and 'seex,' m9.
>>
>>56711865
Your accent isn't as bad as my cousins' but your still pronouncing it "sex"
>>
>>56712057
>>56712083
FUCK OFF YOU LYING CUNTS

>>56711888
ROFL

>>56712057
>Kiwis are so used to hearing their funny accents that they don't know how "six" and "sex" should sound.
>>
>>56712083
You only think that because you refer to 'pegs' as 'pigs'

Kiwis use their E's and I's backwards when they pronounce things.
>>
>>56712184
>Aussies are so used to hearing their funny accents that they don't know how "six" and "sex" should sound.
>>
>>56712231
But we don't pronounce "pigs" as "pegs" so we aren't using them "backwards"
>>
>>56712239
>>56712282
it wouldnt sound so strange to us if americans and english called pegs pigs
>>
>>56712239
Poms and Americans pronounce it the same way...

Pretty much all English speaking countries say it the way we do except for NZ.
>>
Different kiwi here
I know the kiwi accent is fucked and you guys should disregard the other New Zealand flags.
>>
>>56712282
You do actually.
>>
>>56712356
But we don't pronounce E's and I's backwards. We pronounce E's as I's, but I's as U's.

That's a simplification. It's not technically true.

why do your lebbos accent have such a twang
heeyy mut

>>56717428

Everyone's discussing Belgium mate
>>
>>56710497
what do they call sex?
>>
You've got it wrong. They exchange specific vowels for the neutral vowel, "schwa". This is the sound that comes out if you make a face like you have had a lobotomy and then vibrate your vocal chords.
>>
>>56712473
See? That upside down "e", that's the schwa.
>>
>>56710452
no. I and most people pronounce it fish and chips. Only maori pronounce it differently.
>>

>>
>>56717717
And? Schwa isn't an 'e' sound.
>>
>>56717826
I didn't say that it was.
>>
>>56717815

That's satire mate
>>
>>56717969
No shet shirlock

Why do Aussies use the short a sound, like laff instead of larf, really doesn't sit well with me
>>
>>56718349
This isn't normal. It's only people in N.S.W. and parts of Queensland and Victoria who speak like this. Everywhere else, even out in the bush and bogan towns, speak with the long sound.

Pisses me off every time I hear it, though apparently it's not a symptom of American influence.

you all sound retarded
