English with Lucy. I want to talk to you today.
Ten vocabulary differences
In American English and British English
let’s start
This is the first one that many people may know
This word, English people read football (soccer)
In the Americans as soccer (soccer)
Now in this lesson we will understand each of them
Often confused because the United States has
American football, it is a completely different game (American football refers to “football”).
The second is “Chips” and “Crisps” (all “chips” mean)
Here we are fried potato chips. Crispy after frying
Potatoes are usually named this way
But in the United States it is called “Chips”,
When we look at the third one, he will be more confused
Because what Americans call “French fries” (we’re fries), we call them “chips” (french fries).
So “french fries” is for Americans and “chips”
For the British it is “fried soft potato strips”
This is the case
The fourth we call “Trousers” (trousers)
Americans are called “Pants” (trousers), however
Even more confusing is that
Fifth, Americans are called “Underwear” (underwear)
We call it “Pants” (panties), so pants are for Americans
It’s pants. You wear it outside your panties.
Sixth, “Gas” and “Petrol” (both mean “gasoline”)
For us, petrol is a liquid oil that you add to
The Americans in your car are called “gas”
Confusingly because gas (liquefied natural gas) is just for us
Gas shape things
Not a liquid and solid gas (liquefied natural gas)
The next one is “Biscuit” and “Cookie” (both cookies)
We British people think this is just a biscuit.
A cracker biscuit, Americans call it cookies
Eighth, “Trunk” versus “Boot” (both are trunks)
We put a space behind the car
Called “boot”, it’s another word
Is considered a special kind of shoe (in this case boots), but
For Americans, it’s just called “trunk”
The ninth, we call it “jumper” (sweater), American
Called “sweater” (sweater), remember clearly
It’s every meaning, it’s a jumper for me
But for the American people, he was called a sweater
Tenth, “High school” and
“Secondly school” (in high school), in the UK, we call
The second school you entered,
But in the United States, it is called “high school”
Well, classmates, this is all today, I hope
You learn something new if you
