It's no problem here in the Netherlands, in Dutch we say 'kunt' , it means 'can'. As a Yorkshireman to look someone in the eye and say 'je kunt?' is weird at first. It's only an n away from the same meaning so it's essential you pronounce the n.

justineh0213.bsky.social•190 days ago

I hate ordering a coke anywhere but East Riding, usually end up saying "Pepsi but the other one"

newtongrunnion.bsky.social•191 days ago

🤣🤣🤣

speeduffs.bsky.social•191 days ago

Wakefield.
Same.🤣

Example:
'I could be nice, but that Farage couldn't though!'

kayscoble.bsky.social•190 days ago

I'm sure @ninskigsxr.bsky.social can agree too - and will now, no doubt, chant it repeatedly next time I see him!

ninskigsxr.bsky.social•190 days ago

Oh I absolutely agree and will not hesitate to use any of the dialect words, including couldn't 😉

philildo.bsky.social•191 days ago

Yay, I didn't know you were East Yorkshire too! Who's you local MP?

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•191 days ago

I'm an east Yorkshire lass, but I don't live there anymore.

brexcyclopaedia.bsky.social•190 days ago

Polite society is overrated. I mean, look at who's part of the British establishment...a whole bunch of couldnt's

actualpengy.bsky.social•191 days ago

lizthelemming.bsky.social•190 days ago

Not just Hull. The West Riding speaks the same way.

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•190 days ago

june22ali.bsky.social•190 days ago

🤣

odile620.bsky.social•190 days ago

Brilliant! 😂😂

lizthelemming.bsky.social•190 days ago

Also "Mama Mia" = "Mother, I have arrived".

baratheongirl.bsky.social•190 days ago

I'm still giggling at the accuracy of this 🤣

turps55.bsky.social•190 days ago

I think we have a lovely accent, on holiday in Spain quite a few years ago, the evening entertainer was setting up her gear and she heard my wife and I talking, she said to us you're from Hull I'd recognise that accent anywhere, she was from Leeds.

baratheongirl.bsky.social•190 days ago

Funny how you always meet people like that abroad? Had the same situation in Tenerife in 2019.

turps55.bsky.social•190 days ago

My lad lives in Wakefield, his partner is a Wakey girl, when they come through to see us I always try to teach her how to speak in our accent, but alas she's not having any of it.

skiptomyloulou.bsky.social•190 days ago

🤣👍🏼

baratheongirl.bsky.social•190 days ago

You should have seen @monsieurprepuce.bsky.social face first seem he heard a Hullensian say 'couldn't' in a supermarket 🤣
