What Are The Differences Between An Aussie And Kiwi Accent?

1.母音の発音

 

Although Australians and Kiwis might sound comparatively close to the untrained ear, research has shown there is a distinct contrast in the pronunciation of vowels. Australians tend to pronounce their vowels with more emphasis on the sound [ee], whereas New Zealanders are more prominent with [u] sounds. A clear example of this can be found in how most Kiwis pronounce “fish and chips.” They’re likely to say something closer to fush and chups or f’sh and ch’ps, whereas most Aussies would say something closer to feesh and cheeps.

 

発音は基本的には似ているものの、母音の発音に違いがあり、たとえば、ニュージーランドでは、 「fish and chips.」を「fush and chups」あるいは「f’sh and ch’ps」っぽく発音するのに対して、オーストラリアでは「feesh and cheeps」に近いとのこと。

 

2.スラング、語彙

 

Australians and New Zealanders are two countries that are particularly fond of using colloquialisms and slang in everyday speech. It’s almost as though we have two words for everything in Australia — and it seems our Kiwi neighbors love to do it too! For example, Australians will call a portable cooler an esky while New Zealanders know them as a chilly bin.

 

どちらの国でもスラングは多用されるが、違いもあり、たとえば、アイスボックスのことをオーストラリアではeskyをニュージーランドではchilly binと呼ぶ。

 

3.略語

 

Australians also love to shorten and abbreviate their words, which is a key aspect of Australian English. For example: breakfast = brekkie, McDonalds = Maccas, dinner = dins, and so on. It took all my self-restraint, as a true blue Aussie, to write “vocabulary” in the header above rather than vocab. Seriously.

 

オーストラリア人は略語が大好きで、多用されるとのこと。マクドナルドは、Maccasとか。

 

4.発音

 

 母音の発音以外は基本的にオーストラリア英語とニュージーランド英語はにていて、どちらもNon-rhoticである。
