The Basics of Aussie Slang

G’day is hello, pronounced Gidday which is a shortened form of Good Day, and used mostly in informal situations.

More formally we would say Hello, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or the likes.

Mate is Friend, mainly for males. Everyone in Australia is mate, so we would often say "G’day mate" or "Thanks mate".

 

Abbreviations

For some reason Australians shorten words wherever possible, particularly peoples names. They are generally shortened to one syllable if possible, and then have a suffix added to the end. Here are a few examples:-

 

"a"

 A Cup of Tea or Coffee becomes a Cuppa.

 

"ie"

Angela becomes Angie.

Australian becomes Aussie

Barbecue become Barbie

Elizabeth becomes Lizzie

Football becomes Footy, pronounced with a soft "T" somewhere between T & D.

 

"zza" or just "z’

 

Marion become Mazza or Maz

Sharon become Shazza or Shaz

Warwick (me) becomes Wozza (whi"o"

Burgess becomes Burgo

Johnathon becomes Johnno

Smoko means a break from work for a smoke, which now means a tea break even if you don’t smoke.

 

ch I hate) or Woz.
