Somalis in Britain, could you

Post by Sir-Luggoyo »

tell me why after every word "yea" is added?

Not just Somali-British but British-British too. Is it like the "like" that American teenagers add after every word or it has more signifance

the English lack confidence. So in order to make sure you understand what they are selling you without revealing their insecurities, they add "yeah" at the end of every sentence and question.

"Yea" is alright though. We also use "u get me" alot Laughing. I think we have got some ill slang over here in the UK. Just go to the UK forum to educate yourself about it Wink

Every English media be it BBC or any other use the Amereican English as their formal standard.



I agree Sir, "It is like" is so overused. Laughing

Is my believe that "Yeah" is added to insuniate the flow and the structure of the conversation but these does not entail it aquire any conceivable significance but rather it provides an artificial motto most equate with younger generation..

American English ?????
you must be kidding.

What you here on the BBC is called recieved pronounciation,
very English, not a hint of americanism.

but i do admit that americanism has been creeping in, these days.

I think im the a good example of someone with a confused accent.

British primary school and high school, with british teachers,
most of my friends while growing up had american accents, and if you
add the 7 years in Australia, you will understand.
