australian is the same but no becomes na…
yeah na mate that’s fucked
Nah yeah
In this time of heightened geopolitical tension, we need our shibboleths.
Whenever I say things like "no, yeah" it's usually responding to both parts of the proceeding sentence like "this programming library isn't great, we should switch to something else" to which you could reply "no, yeah that sounds good".
I didn't actually realise this was a Canadian thing lol
Also true for Minnesotans
yeah no for sure
“No yah er yah no?”
Oh Canadians do that too, eh?
Canada's version of "Oh nah yeah mate"
I didn't know there was an English equivalent of "да нет, наверное".
err Yeah Nah mate.
Bro it took me all the way to the last sentences before I realized I'd eaten the whole onion.
I grew up in Buffalo, and whenever I'd go across the border it'd take probably a few hours to adjust. xD
