lazy

due to my laziness of study..
I prefer to post something on my blog..
Which I chose 'learning Liverpudian (Scouse) language'

here is it..
lets learn...

1. Start a conversation with "wats appenin laa." (translation: hello mate. Pronounce the laa as laaaa and the a sound is like the a in "cat" not like the a in "arse").
2. Learn the specific pronunciations.
   • The "th" sound as in "the" is usually not pronounced as the "th" sound normally is in the English language, usually as a "d" or "v" (d is more common at the start of words while v is used if the "th" is in the middle of the word, e.g. de=the muvver=mother)
   • The sentence "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" would be pronounced something like "de kwik brr-OW-n fox jumpd ova de layzee dog."
   • "They" is quite often pronounced as "thee" or "dee"
   • "The" can sometimes be pronounced at "thee" or "dee"
3. Know the special things that only scouse teens say.
   • People don't say "um" they say "erm", which is very hard if you don't come from Liverpool. It is somewhat like "aiirrrmmm".
   • Teenagers say "eeee" a lot when offended, this is either pronouced as a plain and simple eeee sound but sometimes it is said somewhat like "urrrr" or "eeeeeeeeeeehh" (this pronuncation is very hard to write down phonetically, but the pitch of the word starts quite low then drops very low and then goes very high)
   • The words "like" and "pure" (pronounced pyar), "proper" (pronounced propehh) and "though" are randomly inserted into sentences, e.g. "Eee she was propa snarlinnn me tho a was pyarrr fumin." or "yerr e's fitt im tho."
   • The verb "to snarl" is when somebody gives a look of disgust and dislike, or looks you up and down etc.
   • "Do you know what I mean (though)" (pronounced "dya no warra mean. (tho)") is often added to the end of a sentence, it is usually not meant literally, just a habit. The though at the end is optional.
   • "Fit" and "fine" are the words generally used to say that you find someone attractive. The word fit can also be used to express a like for something. E.g. "That lad is pure fine" or "This lippy is pure fit"
4. End the conversation with. 'In a bit kidda' no one says 'peaceee out.' in liverpool

Other Common Words=

Flim = £5 note Bail = Run Nar = No Raar = Right (as in "right now") Abar = About (as in "about 20 minutes") Sound = Thats good or Okay Wool = Someone from St helens or wigan. Plazzy Scouser = Someone from the Wirral Bullet = £1 coin A Score = £20 note Whats appenin = Hello Smack ed = Somebody who takes heroin Chillin = doing nothing Webbed = Punched Cleared = Knocked out Grass/Snitch/5 0'd = Tattle tale/d Me brick = My phone Tunes = Music Sweet = He/they/that/she is okay what is = "what is happening", what have you been up to?

Tips

• Talk very high pitched and as fast as you can.
• If you know some scouse people, call them on the phone regularly and note how they pronounce certain words.
• Learn chatspeak, although if you want to understand a scouse person's chatspeak then say it out loud (or say it out loud in your head) and if you understand scouse accents in general you should understand a lot of that.
• See if you can find a Bebo, Hi5, Myspace, Pizco or Facebook sites of scouse chavs that speak with chatspeak as it helps to give an idea of how words are pronounced.

Warnings

• The "a" sound is never pronounced as in the southern way as "ar" but always as the "a" in cat, unless the word is spelled with an actual "ar" or "ah" in it. E.g. plant would not be plarnt however, sparse would remain sparse.
• If you aggravate a scouse teenager they will often accuse you of "starting on them."

Its a bit likely Malaysian English...
