More understandable
Because I like it new zealand
Australians sound more nasaly
The worst example of an Australian accent sounds more grating than the worst example of a NZ accent, however there are huge variations in both
I have it xd
I'm an Aussie, I like the Kiwi accent because it's 'defrent'
cuuuuuute
Flows more smoothly from the mouth, relaxing in a way difficult to describe orally but to sum it up in one word: euphonious.
I find it more pleasing to my ears.
The drawn out vowel sounds of the Australian accents are irritating, and they make Australians sound not very bright
Australian accent sounds harsh Nz is softer
Some Australian accents can sound pretty harsh to the ear and very clipped. Some NZ accents can be quite lilting and pleasant. And I have a cultural bias: I always preferred to play rugby with and against Kiwis any day than 'roos.
Im kiwi hence biased!!!
Im a NZder, why else?
The australian accent is nasal and uncouth sounding
Aussie accent sounds cheap.
tru blu kiwi **** dem ozzy ****
Sounds more pleasing to the ears
I'm a New Zealander
I saw the light of course through the comedy of Flight of the Conchords
I'm a kiwi
I know someone from New Zealand and they have a cool voice.
Australians seem to be lazy in pronouncing their words. For example every Australian I have ever met say cen-a instead of center! They don't pronounce the T .
That would be one of the most annoying words I hear!
the Ausralian accent has an annoying 'twang' to it, and the New Zealand accent has the more pleasent sounding word 'chance' more like british english whereas the australian english has a sound more like american english for words like advance, chance, dance, stance,
It's not as harsh, it sounds gentler, more inviting.
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS
I'm Australian and I dislike our accents.
Like yes, it does have more character than the Kiwi accents, I just think it sounds a bit too bogan for my liking. Especially Julia Gillard's accent - now that's horrible!
I still love Australia though <3
Australian accents sound too bogan.
Flight of the Conchords! Their accents sound much more elegant than Australians.
because it sounds smother
i'm a kiwi :P
I think New Zealand accents are gorgeous!!
Australian accents sound like a long drawl, as if they're trying to be so laid back that they can't bother speaking clearly. The New Zealand accent is far more clipped and sometimes mistaken for one from rural England.
Flight of Conchord group made it a nicer accent
No one in New Zealand has ever pronounced fish and chips fush and chups, thats a load of ****! also why cant Australians pronounce the word six correctly?
I merely think it sounds more pleasant.
It's not as nasal sounding. That said, I like Aussie accents too.
