I love it. I want it too lol

I love the new york accent it sounds totally awesome to me ...but don't forget it may take a long time for you to adapt some sort of new york accent and even then it might not sound like your a general new yorker because u came from somewhere else and have already developed an accent ..but good look in your move to new york :)

I've traveled to Europe & Asia. No one's ever told me I have an accent. No one. Some people would say I have a Chinese accent when speaking English, while others won't. It's strange: No Chinese person ever told me I have a New York accent when speaking Chinese?! I never knew there was such a distinction. There's a total of 62 counties in New York State: 5 of these are called "New York City", "Downstate New York", or "Lesser New York". The remaining 57 counties are called "Upstate New York" or "Greater New York" So what do you mean when you say "New York accent?": New York City only? or just Upstate New York? If each county or borough have their own accent, then New Yorkers would not have just "1" New York accent, but "57" distinctive New York accents or more. But that would cause a confusion: Which one are you really talking about? There's many nationalities in New York, so someone whose ancestors were from another country would have a distinctive accent also. Again, "What's a New York accent?" Voice of Reason: New Yorkers pronounce "sauce" as sow-as. "York" as yoh-uk. "Talk" as towuk. (Orlando people say "taaac") Are you sure? I live in New York, and I DO NOT speak that way. Seems like your Voice of Reason isn't reason enough for me. This was the way I was taught how to speak English in NEW YORK CITY: sauce = "saw-s" York = rhymes with "fork" or "your + k" Talk = rhymes with "chalk" or "tall + k", but sometimes when spoken quickly, it just seems like the l sound is missing from the word "talk", so some people would mistakenly think it's pronounced "tawk", which it really ISN'T. LonG IslanD, is just emphasis on the beginning and ending of each word so people could say it correctly: Even though it sometimes sounds like "Lawn guy lind", it's actually two words: Long and Island, not one word.

it depends on where you move. If you move to manhattan, you probably wont get it because most people in manhattan aren't new yorkers, theyre transplants from outta state. The strongest new york accents are on Staten Island and in parts of Brooklyn and QUeens.

But yea, i love my accent

i like the new york accent but I personally prefer the Jersey accent

I don't like the long island accent but I love love love a particular accent I have heard in queens in the jackson heights area. maybe it was just the voice that made it sound good I don't know

I love it, but just to inform you, moving to New York doesn't automatically mean you'll acquire an accent.

I live in near NY, so I dont even notice it anymore. I guess that is what happens where ever you live. When we went on vacation years ago, the guys down south had a good laugh making me say different words like Alcohol is said by NY's as AlcoHALL. I dont know they were cracking up.

As accents come and go it´s alright I don´t love it though

I live in NY and i never knew i had an accent. but yeah i guess i do then. lol

BADABING!

new yawker here!!

nyc is the best i'm sure you'll enjoy yourself ..but don't expect kindness!lol
