How to Speak Canadian for Americans

My apologies for my over American accent on toque. As per the comments below think... "two-k" when you say it. Also, Thank you to the bartender in Toronto who commented on my Molson Muscle that inspired this video. Thanks everyone!

I am Canadian but I have never heard the winter hat pronounced as "tuque". The only pronunciation I have ever heard or used is "tooque" (long oo). Otherwise, a great video! I Iove your channel.

These are largely true. I’m a Canadian who now lives in the US and Americans have looked at me funny for using these words on occasion (and often notice my Cad accent). And I have some Molson Muscle as well 😀. I lived over 20 years each in Montreal & Toronto so I throw in the French words that confuse my American friends even more. One item - Toque is normally pronounced Two-K (not Took). Big fan of your channel for many years.

Also for further clarification, the $1 coin is called a loonie because of the loon bird on the back. I love how they came up with tooney for the $2 coin, so clever!

Toque is typically pronounced more like "too-kh"...but you're close enough.

As a Canadian you described everything well and also for the French Canada part where I live. Salut!

2fer is 2 for 1, I think you call it bogo. Two four is the case of beer. A case is 12 beer, and a sixer or 6 pack is of course 6. On that note, 2-6 is the 26 oz bottle of Liquor. A 40 is a 40 oz. A small bottle is a Mickey. A single serving is an airplane bottle. And a giant bottle is a Texas Mickey. I think some of these transfer. Thank you for taking the time to make a video about my country. As always, you've done a fantastic job.

In the 1960s I was criticizing a Canadian about Eh. His response was, “We may say Eh, but we don’t say Huh? Fair point!

Welcome to Toronto! Have a wonderful trip!

"The 6ix" is a recent thing. It's in reference to Toronto's - well, back then, Metro Toronto's - area code, 416. Also, 'two-four' can also be referring to the Victoria Day holiday weekend, usually the weekend before the Memorial Day weekend, which some people call the 'two-four weekend'. That's because it is usually the weekend that people go up to open up the cottage for the year, and they will often bring a case or two - or five or six - to celebrate with. Also, I haven't read all the comments yet, but you forgot the most common one when talking about Tim Horton's, that being ordering the 'double-double' which is a medium coffee with two cream and two sugar. (BTW, you do know that the Mackenzie Brother's was a quick skit that was put together because an episode of SCTV was running short.)

Fabulous! I love adding new words to my storehouse of knowledge!

I’m from a town on the outskirts of the Greater Toronto Area. Pronounce “Two-k”. Nobody says hoser or Canuck really. Maybe some older Canadians may say hoser but I’ve never heard it my entire life. 🇨🇦

I'm a Canuck from "the Chuck" aka Edmonton or "E Town", ( "chuck" refers to our large Ukranian population ) and I approve of this message. 😂

I’m moving to Canada soon so I look forward to using these

Hi from Montréal! We also have a Metro. (American subway)

You are awesome ! thanks for all the vids

Yeah, I'm gonna work my Molson Muscle today!

Great video.👍 Mostly everything you described was correct. Looney is because there is a Loon bird on the back. And yes, Molson Muscle is an actual Canadian thing😂. BTW, Jeans and a Jean Jacket is a Canadian Tuxedo. We say Highway vs Freeway for Americans.

A few others that might be helpful..."sorry" which we often say and "pop" which I believe you call soda in the USA.

I am Canadian and have never heard of a "Molson Muscle"
