New Zealanders are awesome! Living in New Zealand for 6 years I have come to appreciate the way they do life. I have picked up many of their good habits and values. People around the world live differently. It is great to take the time to explore some of the differences and the “why” they do things the way they do!

love this country sooo much best place on the planet by far
My cousin is a Kiwi and trying to be mindful of at least that I care. They can have thin skin and sense of humor is a bit different in a good way. Thanks!
One thing you will find I’d that Aussies and NZ have a sibling relationship. We will hammer each other hard, but if any other country buts in. We rush to each other’s defence. We are collectively very different to everyone else. FYI we don’t Tip people. We make wages,. FYI NZ is a beautiful place. Cheaper than Aus at.
Haggling when the price is already a bargain is poor form particularly at charity op shop.
Why do you say like every second word it's a shit habit
Funny.
Why, if you have agreed to buy something for a price and turn up with half thst money would you expect to not been seen as rude. It isn't "negotiating" lol, it's trying to take advantage of someone 🙂

Here's another example on our New Zealand 🇳🇿 English Accental Slang that we have = do scope this out.
Oh and Umm, I must add and say here Where's the Te Reo Maori Language?? There's something she should work on, for the next YouTube clip.
Ask a kiwi to say Bed and then beard!
re: vowel sounds
as a kiwi, i've always found american accents to be weird with vowels too. you mentioned Auckland, and to me when you say it, it sounds like Ockland
i've noticed it's mainly with 2 vowels together – like whenever i hear an american say the name Craig, to me it sounds like you're saying Creg
I didn’t think foreigners could buy a house in NZ, so…
I’m in Aus, and I’m a Kiwi, the accent I get hassled on random words a lot lol but a lot of the kiwi stuff would be the same over here in Aus
Lol we do use paper plates but more inclined to have extra dinner sets as we tend to have people often.. We likely detest cutting with plastic cutlery more! 😅
No we don't barter we find it rude in our culture..
Lol yes apparently Aussies and Americans mistake words.. We think you guys have weird accents not pronouncing vowels properly.. When we hear you trying to give your impressions of us saying fish and chips we often laugh because it's never the same.. 🤣We don't take offence more socially happy to laugh at you guys and ourselves
Lol the accent thing we pretty chill 😃, as a kiwi I'm annoyed as well by the no price thing on houses, currently looking and I get tired of emailing them all asking for the price lol
I love how you got majority of things on this list, thankyou your amazing.
Haggling is more common in Auckland, especially on things like cars or second hand goods. But I've had plenty of good discounts on new appliances over the years. However, we tend not to negotiate at charity shops because it isn't right, they need the money. And if you buy an item on Trade Me, that's a binding contract, not an opportunity to arrive and haggle, like a few people seem to think!!
I’m a kiwi but I think it’s fine for people to use paper plates (biodegradable or recycle) because if you have lots of over most people wouldn’t expect you to do Al the dishes. All my big family bbqs or baby shower type things everyone has paper plates. Just my South Island family?
Your wrong on a few things, nz's do use paper plates and paper towels and we pronounce words properly
the NZ house market usually says something like auction or best offer. but usually they have asking price listed as a benchmark
It's crazy home americans vote to fuck their own country up and increase the racial stew to an incredible level, then flee to quiet white nations like NZ
Big mumas house dooo weeee
Her: they don’t serve you on paper plates.
Him: 😂😂😂😂 have you been to south Auckland?
One tip for anyone going to America DONT SAY SWEET AS, my mate did it and the girl he was talking to thought he said sweet ass and went to file a sexual harassment report, and he tried to explain no I Said sweet as, they did not believe him as they were like who says sweet as.
Yep….Deck is now "Dick". Pen is "Pin". Ben and "Bin"…haha.
No free bread no free sodas etc but no tips either
Um, as a Kiwi, i think you are gonna need to do a new video lady…. either your info is really dated, but seriously you got it wrong in most of your 'experiences'…!!!!
The accent part at the end really annoyed me because none of that was true lmfao 😅😂
Yeah, Fush & Chups sounds more Scottish than anything.. I've NEVER heard a New Zealander pronounce it like that
We're not expected to tip either.
As a kiwi, I think tipping and GST not being included in the advertised price would be the hardest for me to get used to if I went to America. Also, word of mouth and social connections are so important in NZ. My parents like to say "it's not what you know it's who you know".
