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.
