Mmhm |

Right, wi me if ye're haiverin |
| F831 |
Aye, ye're
//speakin// |
| M842 |
//B-// |
| F831 |
rubbish. |
| M842 |
Well
//I always thought it was ye were hummin and haein.// |
| F831 |
//Or speakin nonsense.//
Oh!
//Oh it's, aye.// |
| M842 |
//Right, I'm, I'm just, you know, I'm haiverin about that.// |
| F831 |
//I thought haiverin wis,// |
| F606 |
//Mm// |
| F831 |
ye're bletherin a heap o nonsense.
//Stop yer haivers.// |
| M842 |
//Aye well that's, that's, yeah, that's fit//
that's fit it's down here but I'm sure when, ye ken, I was growin up my mither would say, "Och, stop yer haiverin!" |
| F831 |
Aye.
//Yeah. [laugh]// |
| M842 |
//Maybe I wis speakin rubbish at the same time but I thought//
haiverin was mean, ken, "make yer mind up" or somethin like
//that, "get a move on".// |
| F831 |
//Aye.//
Aye. |
| M842 |
But ehm |
| F831 |
Well it's certainly nae the same strong dialect doon here though.
//It's// |
| M842 |
//No.// |
| F831 |
tamer |
| M842 |
No, I ken.
//Aye, yeah.// |
| F831 |
//I mean, it's broad.// |
| M842 |
I mean the kids, eh, some of the kids, aye, some o the kids try to talk, I mean we've spoken about this, you ken, at lunchtime the day, your phone voice and how ye speak tae the kids,
//I mean sometimes// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
ye know if I'm, if I'm addressin them at assembly or somethin like that, there's a lot of them there, then I probably will put on my phone voice.
//But in a// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
classroom cause it's mair relaxed |
| F831 |
Aye. |
| M842 |
ye, ye, ye ken, I just, I do spick normally.
//And sometimes I// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh//
//[laugh]// |
| M842 |
//pit it on cause ye get a laugh an it kin,//
//it contributes to the, aye!// |
| F831 |
//Certain kids ye kin pit it on wi, aye, uh-huh.// |
| M842 |
And ehm [inaudible], one, one lad, ken, he's, he's actually nae long left, ye, ye mind Craig? |
| F831 |
uh-huh |
| M842 |
He was, he was
//a belter, he put it on but it was// |
| F831 |
//Aye, he was guid.// |
| M842 |
alright, ken
//it, it was all// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
guid an as I say, I think, ye know, ye, ye shouldna really change |
| F831 |
No. |
| M842 |
who you are.
There's a time an a place, ehm, one thing, I mean, I'm c-, if I'm speakin just now, I'm speakin to you, I'm speakin totally different to
//if I'm speakin to a// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
a kid,
//an I'm very conscious// |
| F831 |
//aye, uh-huh// |
| M842 |
that when I'm in, ye know, s-s- speakin dialect, speakin yer natural tongue if you like, I'm affa quick. |
| F831 |
Aye, a- I re- aye, uh-huh,
//yeah, ye do, mmhm.// |
| M842 |
//an ye mo-, ye tend tae motor on//
an ye know, if you're tryin' tae explain thi-, that's one thing I'm conscious of and as soon as I try an slow down, then that actually changes me an I'm startin, I'm really thinkin aboot
//the language I'm sayin and I'm, I'm slowin// |
| F831 |
//Uh-huh, aye, yeah.// |
| M842 |
down tryin to get my point
//across.// |
| F831 |
//Uh-huh// |
| M842 |
but, ye know, if ye, say if you're speakin to somebody in the department or somebody |
| F831 |
Uh-huh |
| M842 |
who kens whit it is, there's nae the same need
//an as soon as// |
| F831 |
//Uh-huh// |
| M842 |
I speed up, ye ken, that's fan I, I slip in an I
//start// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
ye just kinda start usin |
| F831 |
Mmhm |
| M842 |
kinda slang |
| F831 |
It's different, it's different even in Aiberdeen compared tae far we're fae
//[laugh]// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
really cause even in Aiberdeen the words are different and the dialect's different
//an it// |
| M842 |
//Mmhm// |
| F831 |
it's certainly again nae as rough or broad if ye go up to Fraserborough or Peterheid
//or up// |
| M842 |
//Mmhm// |
| F831 |
oor neck o the
//woods, it's// |
| M842 |
//Aye, broad, broad//
is the thing, I mean I, one o the things I was pla- when I was placed ehm ma first placement was up in Buckie highschool and I hink any member of staff goin in there thinks, ye know, there's a bit o aggression aboot the kids
//the way they kinda speak// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm//
//Aye, uh-huh.// |
| M842 |
//tae ye, but//
because I, I grew up like that an I've lost a bit o my tongue
//ehm// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
I mean there's still, ye, ye kinda still pit in
//the odd word or like// |
| F831 |
//Uh-huh// |
| M842 |
you can still ken I've got a Buckie twang |
| F831 |
Mmhm |
| M842 |
ehm but although ma, ma folks kinda kept it
//their// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
tongue a wee bit mair, I didna cause
//I was at school// |
| F831 |
//No.//
//Aye uh-huh// |
| M842 |
//ehm//
I was growin up wi different folk, playin fitba team, fit hiv ye, |
| F831 |
Mmhm |
| M842 |
ehm an eventually you kinda, you kinda lost a little bit o it
//but eh// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
the bairns up there are, ken, really, really broad. |
| F831 |
Aye, an they
//kinda sing// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
as weel, like, athing's got "ie" at the
//end.// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
Ken, Jeanie, an
//Jessie an// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
Annie an everything's "ie"
//an it re-.// |
| M842 |
//That's it.// |
| F831 |
It is kinda singin an
//broad.// |
| M842 |
//But it was, it was good.//
it was good for me cause ye go back and I mean, as I say I, I grew up there and kinda kids are, kids are genuine, an I mean if they're speakin like that some o the times I mean we spoke to them and hear how they put on their phone voice
//and ye change, you're like, if they're speakin like that// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm, mmhm// |
| M842 |
then that, that's what they're maist comfortable
//daein an// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm, mmhm// |
| M842 |
ye're gonnae get mair oot o them, ye know ye,
//"Hands up,// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
who can answer?" an such an such. |
| F831 |
Aye, if ye kin spick
//spick// |
| M842 |
//Yeah.//
//aye, ex- exactly, an I think that's// |
| F831 |
//their lingo as opposed to talk, uh-huh, yeah.// |
| M842 |
probably ain o the reasons I was pit up here
//cause I wouldna// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
find it, ye know, I mean the language wouldnae hae been |
| F831 |
Mmhm |
| M842 |
a barrier
//ehm but// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
ye know some o them, affa broad. |
| F831 |
How did you find it when you came to Aiberdeen, cause I ken masel that I was really quite broad to start wi, then I started university an I was, university, I had to learn to talk because people wouldn't understand me. |
| M842 |
Aye.
//I think [cough]// |
| F831 |
//An not nec- nae necessarily in a//
posh sense but just really like you said
//earlier havin to// |
| M842 |
//Mmhm// |
| F831 |
think aboot whit ye're sayin a the time cause if ye dinna folk look at ye
//as if ye've got// |
| M842 |
//mm// |
| F831 |
twa heids. |
| M842 |
I ken well, fan I moved eh, fan I moved oot eh, fan I moved oot o Buckie, eh moved to Ellon which is aboot, och, ten, fifteen mile north o Aiberdeen an it was tough actually comin oot, I mean I moved in primary seven an y-, I dinnae even want to say swearin but swearin was actually more acceptable up in
//in Buckie, ye heard your granda an that, the way they, the way they kinda spoke to you. An I was// |
| F831 |
//Aye, aye, aye, second word sometimes, aye.// |
| M842 |
conscious [laugh] ye know, I was conscious that I, I did actually swear a little bit now for, for, for a primary seven if you like
//that was kinda really frowned upon at school an folk, folk would f-f-// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh [laugh]// |
| M842 |
"Oh, do ye hear what he's sayin"
//an everything like that, an I// |
| F831 |
//Aye.// |
| M842 |
thought I wasnae, ye know I wasnae overly coarse but I think it was maybe just a mixture o that with ma accent
//as well, ehm, an it// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh, aye, uh-huh// |
| M842 |
was quite, it was quite tough.
//I mean the kids did say, "Oh we canna,// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
we canna understand fit ye're sayin".
//I think they// |
| F831 |
//Aye.// |
| M842 |
kent fine fit I was sayin
//but// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
it was so different
//in a wee// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
little kinda tight-knit community like that
far
abodie bides in Ellon a their kinda days
//if you like, somebody else comin in// |
| F831 |
//Aye, uh-huh// |
| M842 |
new, it was, I suppose it was an experience for some o the bairns,
//cause they a probably// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
spoke the same. |
| F831 |
Aye.
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
//So I mean//
fit certainly fan I, fan I moved, an as ye're a kid ye're mair conscious o it ehm I did kinda lose it a little bit but I mean in a, in a toon, in Aiberdeen, I suppose ye're meetin a lot mair folk, |
| F831 |
Aye. |
| M842 |
an there's folk, there's folk shiftin in an it wasna such a, it was, I only moved into toon, ken, four year ago or somethin,
//like that.// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
But aye, certainly fan I first came through ehm it was, it was somethin, it was just like an, an, although we're a kinda Scots, if
//ye like but it was just// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm, aye.// |
| M842 |
like an outsider comin in to
//"[?]fuckin[/?] fa's// |
| F831 |
//Aye.// |
| M842 |
he
//speakin like that?"// |
| F831 |
//But fan ye hear it//
like [inaudible] a lassie that ehm I'm pals wi that teaches at a different school, she ehm she's frae Fraserburgh |
| M842 |
Aye. |
| F831 |
an she nivver "talks", she continually "spicks" a the
//time,// |
| M842 |
//Mmhm// |
| F831 |
to anybody and everybody an s- some folk understand her fair enough even
//Aiberdonians// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
understand her to a certain extent but there are some folk she just naturally stops spickin.
//Now I used to// |
| M842 |
//mm// |
| F831 |
think, "Oh my God, I wish she would talk |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F606 |
//[laugh]// |
| F831 |
for goodness sake, naebody understands a word ye're
//sayin, an// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
it, ye do, ye have this, emb- nae an embarrassment but ye sometimes feel, ye think, "Oh for the love o God, can ye just speak
//properly" as it were,// |
| M842 |
//Mmhm// |
| F831 |
an we shouldna be daein that, we should be quite be happy tae have ither people tryin to understand fit we're tryin tae say an
//okay, the// |
| M842 |
//That's it.// |
| F831 |
speed thing, ye said that
//earlier, it can// |
| M842 |
//I'd said, aye, I s-// |
| F831 |
be quite quick. |
| M842 |
The speed is, aye, the speed is, the speed's [?]away[/?], but I'm forever speakin, stoppin kids doon here, I ken, I quite like it, an if they, they'll say a word that I've nae heard of, ken,
//that's// |
| F831 |
//Aye.// |
| M842 |
athin, I mean, what we were on aboot the day, somebody was on about wedgies. |
| F831 |
Wedgies! [laugh] |
| M842 |
A wedgie, an I was like, I ken it f- fine fit
//a wedgie, it was a// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
"sid" when we were at
//ken, aye, cawed that a sid, ehm// |
| F831 |
//A sid? Ah, I hadnae heard o that yin, no.// |
| M842 |
but, ye know, I quite, I qu- I quite like it, I speak
//be f-// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
be who ye are, I mean there's a time an a place
//like we've// |
| F831 |
//Aye// |
| M842 |
spoken about, ye're tryin to get your point across, ken,
//ye need to kinna// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
kinna slow doon but ehm no, I mean i-, I'm, because I've been exposed tae it and I've went through, ken, a, a change, |
| F831 |
uh-huh |
| M842 |
ehm a big change in tongue wi the f-, the wey the folk, I mean m- [laugh] even the other way my, my folks used to laugh at me, |
| F831 |
uh-huh |
| M842 |
cause they were sayin, "Oh
//here he, here he comes hame, oh you're talkin like a [?]beaut[/?], yeah, "oh, h-, hallo Clifford" on the phone an.// |
| F831 |
//Aye, "Oh here, aye, oh yes", aye, I know, I was the same, my dad [laugh]//
my dad would be like, "Oh the city dame's back, oh aye!"
//[laugh]// |
| M842 |
//Exactly.// |
| F831 |
"And far's yer accent?" |
| M842 |
Yeah, but I mean k- we've kinda, we've kinda seen it if you like an eh you're used to kinda change so that's probably why I say to the kids, "No, ken, just be who you are an I'm quite happy to
//listen to you".// |
| F831 |
//mm// |
| M842 |
An of course ye kin understand it. |
| F831 |
Mmhm
//But it's even// |
| M842 |
//It's just eh// |
| F831 |
different fae far you're fae an far I'm, far I'm
//I'm fae.// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
Like, you're f- far more sort o fishin
//community,// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
whereas I'm fairm- farmin
//community.// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
So the, the dialect even then differs
//how, the words that// |
| M842 |
//Aye, we're on about, see, we're//
on about [?]"gowes"[/?], you're on about "neeps"
//an tatties// |
| F831 |
//[laugh]//
Beasts an everythin.
//But even// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
then the dialect's different fae, for example, Buckie to, I dinnae ken, Foggie or Cornhill or
//somewhere like that// |
| M842 |
//mm// |
| F831 |
where it's really sorta hard, sorta rough
//soundin// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
and then it kinda, like you say it gets a bit sorta broader even the more in Fraserburgh an
//Peterheid wey.// |
| M842 |
//Fraserburgh//
Fraserburgh and Peterheid's a beauty
//cause I m- I m-// |
| F831 |
//Mmhm// |
| M842 |
I mind watchin, ken, "It'll Be Alright On The Night" or somethin like that
//or eh// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
"TV Bloopers" and there was a guy interviewed a fisherman frae Peterheid.
//Now,// |
| F831 |
//Aye, uh-huh//
//[laugh]// |
| M842 |
//I couldna hardly mak oot fit he was sayin an he was just//
because it was a hundred mile an
//oor an it was// |
| F831 |
//Aye, uh-huh// |
| M842 |
it was, ye know, relative to, ye know he was on aboot fishin, it was a the, this jargon fishin he was
//speakin aboot// |
| F831 |
//Aye, uh-huh// |
| M842 |
and ehm he didna change his tongue at a
//for the TV,// |
| F831 |
//No, no.// |
| M842 |
and ehm it was just, it was fascinatin, cause sittin like, I'm actually just sittin listenin to him thinkin, "What the hell's he goin on
//aboot here?" But// |
| F831 |
//[laugh] An//
naebody understands it
//other than the folk in// |
| M842 |
//Exactly.// |
| F831 |
Peterheid or
//Fraserburgh, aye.// |
| M842 |
//Exactly, but a the, a the//
beauts an toffs in the toon
//woulda been sittin goin, "Fit, fit's, fit's happenin here?"// |
| F831 |
//[laugh]//
My husband often comes hame, cause he works in Peterheid
//an he often comes hame// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
he said to me aince, he goes, "Fit's 'far y'at' mean?", |
| M842 |
"Far y'at?" |
| F831 |
An I went, "Aye, far y'at"
//so then I went, "It means// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
'where are you'", and he went "Everybody keeps goin 'far y'at?'", now he's fae Aiberdeen but somethin again, |
| M842 |
Aye. |
| F831 |
that's just, you know, thirty miles north and it's completely different, it could be alien to a lot o folk. |
| M842 |
My, my best ain was ehm, I used to say, "Nae muckle wunner". |
| F831 |
Nae muckle wunner.
//Aye.// |
| M842 |
//Aye.// |
| F831 |
Mmhm
//[laugh]// |
| M842 |
//Pe-, speakin to kids or somethin like that, "Aye, nae muckle wunner, aye,//
//ken, ye cannae dae it, ken, you've no been listenin to fit teacher's been sayin or some-, nae muckle wunner.// |
| F831 |
//Aye, aye, Mmhm//
//Nae muckle wunner.// |
| M842 |
//Like, "Eh?"// |
| F831 |
[laugh]
//[laugh]// |
| M842 |
//But eh it's// |
| F606 |
//[laugh]// |
| M842 |
it's again, it's, ye ken, ye just dae it without, ye dae it without
//ye dae it without// |
| F831 |
//uh-huh// |
| M842 |
thinkin. |
| F831 |
Aye. |
| M842 |
ehm, I mean, I've got, I should [inaudible], one o my cousins, ehm, [laugh], two cousins if ye like, eh, Richard, he's eh he's as broad as ye like,
//Vicky// |

//aye, talks the talk, aye, an it's just chalk an cheese but it// |
| F831 |
//Aye, uh-huh, uh-huh, aye.// |
| M842 |
sounds, I think it sounds ridiculous
//actually, I think it sounds// |
| F831 |
//Aye.// |
| M842 |
too pit on. |
| F831 |
Aye.
//ye have to be// |
| M842 |
//Ye know.// |
| F831 |
natural aboot it |

That's it.
//Aye.// |

The last thing ye want to be, it becomes a major chore if you've really got to think. |

Think how to
//spick.// |

//Think how//
to speak

| M842 |
But some, I mean some o the Doric words I mean they're just, they're so descriptive an, they're just, they're just what ye want to
//say rather than// |

Things like "glaikit" an |

between, this is, this, I have a, this worry that, far Doric ends an Scots
//starts an vice// |
