I am a native English speaker living in Ireland I disagree with you on all of your examples, I hear and use those words and phrases very often They are not archaic At least for now and are very much part of everyday Spoken English Comment from : Sustainable Self Reliance Ireland

What natives speak or do not speak is of very little relevance The vast majority of English speakers in the world is of non-native Sorry Comment from : Dan Kang

still unsure what's wrong with word "fine" I am not a native speaker, but noticed that many times people say "that's fine" means actually that they don't care Comment from : asdf

Wimbledon always uses Ladies (and Gentlemen) If I'm talking about tennis to someone, it's always ladies I use I just seems appropriate to me for some reason Comment from : bermudagirl50

I think the reality is that young(ish) people don't say these things The older generation still do Comment from : Stevie P

Was that dog having a bark? Comment from : L Ingham

I have lived outside the UK (in an EU country )for a long time and mostly say "I'm good" in reply to "how are you?" But I still say 'I'm fine" sometimes I say "goodbye" on a business call but not in casual conversation-maybe that's what you meant Comment from : Philip Usher

Katherine I was watching you not your English language skills You look so stunning and abs beautiful Comment from : Virendra Singh Sejwal

The use of "passed away" is just irritating! Its a bad a using "lady" for woman "Died" and "woman"please! Comment from : John Cross

It sounds as though there are still mad dogs where you live Mad dogs and Englishmen? Comment from : beachbum77979

While I'm here… In the Edward Wright movie "The World's end", Rosamund Pike keeps swearing "Oh, crumbs !" which is a running gag of course, but… Is it a colloquialism or just something made up for the movie ? I've been wondering since I saw the movie Thanks in advance ! Comment from : pateris

I am a native speaker I use ALL the red words AND green words It is not a case of whether we use them or not anymore Its a case of social situations that we may be in and the type of language we use I’d like to think that people know when to to speak formally and informally and the words that can be used in both settings To say ‘we don’t use these words anymore’ is very disingenuous As you say, they are not wrong but equally to say they are not used anymore is not true They are used a lot by all speakers of English You also seem to be speaking from the point of view of a specific dialect of English There are other dialects that all say things differently Sentence syntax and vocabulary can be and are different in these dialects Really, all you have done is offer vocabulary and phrase alternatives to the standard language This is very helpful to those learning English, so it has some use Thank you Comment from : Lee James

OMG The Hound of the Baskervilles in your garden! Who are you!? (great video by the way, I'm following now bc I've been saying 'Fine, thanks' the last 10 years , all best from Copenhagen, Pete Comment from : Peter Henrichsen

Goodbye sounds rather formal, sometimes final "Bye", said in a cheerful way is nice "' Bye for now" is friendly and means you will see each other soon We learn something every day, I say By for now to my students at the end of each lesson Some of them thought it was all one word, byfernow and asked me what it meant Comment from : Jeanette Gant

👍👍🙏 Comment from : tungming lee

Such a gorgeous teacher Hats off 🎉 Comment from : Waqas Ahmad

Actually I was referred to by a little boy as "that lady" just yesterday not at all defunct! Comment from : Isla Durrant

68 year old native here Like most of what she says in these videos, I don’t always agree with her on much of it She’s not really wrong in most of her options, but to outright say that we don’t really use a certain phrase is not strictly correct brbrHaving spent 24 years in the Royal Navy, with shipmates from all over the UK, and living in six different regions in England and Scotland I don’t think it true to say “we don’t really say that” brbrIt might be true in her little part of the world, but nationwide our use of English varies considerably from region to region Her use of “Estuary” English might be spot on but this is not the case across the nation, certainly when compared to how it is spoken in Nottinghamshire, Devon, Hampshire, Somerset, Glasgow and County Durham where I now reside Comment from : Painful or what?

I'm a native English speaker and use 'lady' lot It is respectful and appreciated by ladies so I can't see it falling into disuse I also also use 'I'm fine' as I hate the Germanic 'I'm good' which comes from 'Ich bin gut' More usually I use 'not too bad' when someone politely inquires about my health Comment from : canopus101

As as non-native speaker, to me "lady" sounds much more beautiful than "woman" I would use it for a well dressed, clean and educated woman, whereas, to me, "woman" sounds more suitable for a fat, short-haired, rude feminist-type of female Comment from : Daniel Castillo Molero

So we have to soften our language but yet not be too formal Britain is confusing! Comment from : Hirsch

So different to New York English, people say lady, let’s eat etc Comment from : Hirsch

So interesting learning from you ! Thank you so much Comment from : Abdun Nur

Absolutely! Comment from : Eduardo Trindade

glad you put "British English" in the titlecos this is nonsense for other English speaking countrieslike straya Comment from : PeterLP

Drink is still used in everyday English, but as a noun So "Do you wan't a drink?" is very common Your example is for "drink" used as a verb Eg"Do you want to drink" is odd unless it is qualified with a specific example So "Do you want to drink a cocktail" is OK although much more common would be "do you want a cocktail" Comment from : Ti Do

U have a magnificent accent I adore you Comment from : Tranquility Forever

Oh, and in Scotland (and other parts of the UK), almost any verb can be used to mean drunk For example, mangled, trollied, wasted, hammered, etc Comment from : William Doonan

I think it all depends on your age and what part of the country you are from I’m early 50s and from near Glasgow If I were asking a friend if he was going out for a drink, I’d say “You gawn the pub?” “Are you gawn fur a swallae?” That sort of thing Comment from : William Doonan

When I hear ‘I’m fine’ as a reply, it sounds a bit sarcastic to me… Comment from : RR Manoukian

Well, as a non-native English speaker, I love using archaic and posh language like 'Splendid', or the one you just mentioned, 'lady', and in my opinion, this is the greatest thing about British English "Top hole", "Jolly good", "Pip pip", "Old bean", "Don't get shirty with me" The best English one can learn is 'Monty Python English'! Comment from : Nemanja Milosavljevic

Good video, but yeah I agree it needs some qualifications Some weeks ago we were on a BA flight and my wife asked the flight attendant for a tissue, which in turn prompted the flight attendant to say to her colleague "the lady in 23A needs a tissue" Let's just say it's going to be a few years before they'd say "the woman in 23A needs a tissue"brbrLikewise with "drink", yes you're not going to say to your colleague "let's drink after work" (unless you're really into the habit, as it were), but at the same time, if it's really hot out and your mother calls you, it's perfectly fine to say "remember to drink lots of water mom" rather than "have lots of drinks" - again, unless she's really into the habit Comment from : Benjamin Becker

😢" Lady " is so beautiful! Comment from : Pianodreams mother&son

"I'm fine" is rarely heard in Australia We tend to say "Yeah, good", or maybe "good, thanks" And just when you thought you'd mastered English, you backpack around Australia and wonder what language rural Aussies are speaking Comment from : Coover

I'm a native English speaker (but not British English) and not only would I say "She died" rather than a euphemism, but as a social worker, I would strongly recommend that people use fewer euphemisms around death Best not to be confused around these things "She passed away" yeah, nah Wouldn't ever say that, although people do Comment from : Flannery Pedley

actually we do use lady In my trendy hairdressers the staff refer to the customers as 'my lady would like a coffee' 'My lady is ready for the wash'brAnd only yesterday I said to a bunch of fellow riders I didn'tknow and came across in the woods, 'hi, are you ladies from Austins?' I think I usually use it in the plural I teach EFL and I remember one student getting quite cross telling me lady isn't used anymore Oh yes it bloody is, but in a modern way I wouldn't have dreamed of calling the women I met in the woods as 'you women' Comment from : sandra jenkins

i don't use goodbye bec it s sounds like we're parting company permanently i usually say "cheerio" which might be more archaic! As for eat, i've gone for food When i say i've gone for a drink it means something alcoholic like a pint of ale How are you? Don't answer, i'm fine, i'm good, i'm okay "can't complain," is an acceptable response or if its not a very good day for you, "i've been better, but can't complain" That's the problem with "the colonies," english did not evolve! Comment from : Alvin Ho

A very interesting channel 😊 Comment from : Antonio Polastri

I came to England a month ago and I hear 'lady' all the time here)) maybe in a different kind of situations than counting people in a room, but still, i'day it's used, if put in a right context Comment from : Alice K

What a nice and amazing video! Thank you Katherine Comment from : Humayun Kabir

Kathy es increible como los perros britanicos no son diferentes a los perros latinos, al menos cuando ladran es lo chusco de este video🌻 Comment from : oscar carrera chico

Ladies and men grates because ladies should be partnered with gentlemen My impression is ladies is making a come back I remember in the seventies and eighties women actively refusing to be called ladies Comment from : Simon Watkins

howling! I got it! Thanks for the dog!😊 Comment from : Jaza Abdullah

I don’t think you are familiar with the English of professional people Comment from : Lesley Russell

I really can't agree with anything Katherine is saying here I am a Brit who grew up in Canada and I am most familiar with North American English speaking patterns and vocabulary and less familiar with British speaking patterns and vocabularybrbrKatherine may well be referring to the way the British and in particular the English way speak Nearly everything she claims "we don't say any more" will be heard in North American English I would agree that the word "lady" is used far less than "woman" but the word "lady" is still used in many contextsbrbrI would say that there is one shift in phrasing that has happened in my lifetime and that I find jarring That is the habit in modern English of placing a preposition at the end of a sentence When I was in grade school in the 196s, this was taught as ungrammaticalbrbrExample:brbrA modern English speaking will almost invariably say, "Pat is the person I gave the book to"brThe grammar that I was taught demanded that one say, "Pat is the person to whom I gave the book"brbrThe phrasing has changed in part I believe because the objective form of the pronoun "who", which is "whom" has by-and-large disappeared in modern English and, even though it is understandable, there is a poor flow to the phrase, "Pat is the person to who I gave the book" Comment from : DrZook

What is British English? Is English spoken in Yorkshire, Belfast and Glasgow ritish English Are you trying to fool south Asians withyour lesson? 😂😂😂 Comment from : Thomas Mathew

I like the dog speaking😅😅😅 Comment from : Big Neutron

Like+subs Thanks Comment from : Kulltallas Jerjes

I'm a native English speaker in the US and i use most of the expressions you claim a native speaker doesn’t use Don't know if it's my age (in my 70s) or the fact that I'm American that makes the difference Comment from : Barbara Snyder

See you in a biiit Comment from : Aikant Makeendsmeet III

Immediately after watching this, watch George Carlin standup about soften language! Eat and drink during the show, it will make it more fun, even for ladies Goodbye! Comment from : Rouslan Bugorskiy

So "lady" is a bit archaic but king Charles not? 🙃 Comment from : Kyrie Eleison

Lady and ladiesbrPeople die, we all do Passed away is a dreadful euphemism George Orwell had strong views The expression makes me cringe Comment from : Tom Bloomfield

Thx Quite often I m joining US chats while watching US Sports And listening to a lot Punk and Rocknroll Since growing up Probably several times I already nailed in a wrong way But, sometimes I got the feeling it s going far better by easily letting go Some habits, at least here and there, I obviously snatched right Though, especially in that chat, everybody s very patient with me But your content, and first of all these kinda vids about everything they told as school, are rather prescious imo Or better pretty prescious 😂!? Well, again Big thx Really appreciate your work Comment from : Fritz Art Vandelay Walter

I had no idea that at the age of 63 as an English native and an ex English teacher that everything I say is wrong Comment from : James Brook
