  • Hi guys, got a really great video planned for you today.

  • Before we start though, if you want to watch this video with Chinese subtitles, go ahead and click on the settings button below and then turn on Chinese subtitles.

  • Now today I'm going to be introducing some really common Australian greetings.

  • These are things that you'll definitely hear if you have an Australian friend or if you're planning on going to Australia.

  • I've got myself a little list here, and on the list we've got a few phrases and words that you definitely want to find out about, trust me.

  • So let's start.

  • Okay, now, before we go on to the first one, I just want to remind you guys that if you haven't already subscribed, please go ahead and do so now.

  • It helps our channel, but also in the future when we post new videos, you'll be notified straight away, so you can keep up to date with all our new videos.

  • Alright, so the first thing, this one is really really common.

  • If you go to Australia and you're meeting up with a friend, you're going to definitely hear this phrase.

  • It's going to sound like one word, but actually it's four words.

  • Ready?

  • How you going?

  • How you going?

  • How you going?

  • Did you get it?

  • It sounds like one word, right?

  • Actually it's four words.

  • I'm saying, how are you going?

  • Now if someone asks you, how you going?

  • It's best not to say, by bus or by car.

  • They're not actually asking how you're getting to your destination.

  • They're asking you how you're feeling.

  • It's like saying, how are you?

  • Or how's everything going?

  • So that's what they're really asking you.

  • So when someone asks you that, you can say to them, not bad, thanks.

  • Or pretty good, thanks.

  • Or you could say, can't complain.

  • That's also pretty common.

  • Now the next one is similar to the first one.

  • I'm going to say it and you guys try and understand what actual words I'm saying.

  • Ready?

  • How you doing?

  • How you doing?

  • So that one is very similar.

  • I'm actually just saying, how are you doing?

  • And it means a similar thing.

  • It means like, how are you?

  • But we say, how you doing?

  • How you doing?

  • How you doing?

  • How you going?

  • How you going?

  • How you going?

  • Often we won't say going, we'll say going, going.

  • How you going?

  • How you doing?

  • So that's very common in Australia.

  • So now in the future, when you hear someone saying that, you'll know to say to them, yeah, not bad, thanks.

  • Now the next one is, let me have a look at my little list here.

  • So this one is something that we often say when someone says thank you or sorry.

  • In the textbook, you probably learnt that if someone says thank you, you might say you're welcome.

  • In America, they often say, no problem.

  • But in Australia, we'll often say, no worries.

  • So what does no worries mean?

  • It's kind of like saying, don't worry about it.

  • It's like, you're welcome, no worries.

  • Or if someone is saying sorry, they might say, oh, I'm really sorry for coming late.

  • And you might respond by saying, no worries.

  • It's like saying, don't worry about it.

  • It's okay.

  • The last one is if someone says thank you, often, we won't actually say thank you, we'll actually say cheers, or we might say ta.

  • So let's say, let's say you hand someone a plate, and they want to say thank you.

  • Often they'll just say ta, or they'll say, cheers.

  • And you can respond by just saying, no worries.

  • Okay?

  • And they'll think, wow, you sound just like an Australian.

  • So those are really common greetings and phrases that we use in Australia.

  • And if you use them when you go traveling, or when you're speaking to an Australian friend, they'll be very impressed.
