"Feesh and cheeps" - Australian

- OJFord 4y agoThat's great actually, because it also works for South African (I often have a hard time with SA vs NZ) - 'fish and chips' with very short 'i', like it's reluctantly put in at all, I think.
- LouisSayers 4y agoThe whole fish and chips thing is well overdone... If you want to tell Aussies and kiwis apart, listen for "Chance" and "Dance". Kiwis will say the 'a' like in the word "aren't", whereas Aussies will say it like the 'a' in "ants". Much more discrete to ask about dancing than fish and chips ;)
- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoWell now I'm confused as Aussies tend to pronounce "ants" as "eents"
