One of the strangest areas of difference between British and American English is that of cars. In many ways, the general differences between words in both main forms of English are small and superficial. Things like removing a U from a word like colour, or swapping an R and an E around at the end of a word. Other differences are based on old uses and forms of words, and are understandably caused by 200 years or so of drift. And there’s sports.

But cars are such a relatively new invention that it always seemed strange to me that American and British English would have such different words to refer to their different parts. Specifically why a boot in British English is a trunk in American English, and a bonnet is a hood.

Thinking about them, without doing any research, the uses of hood and bonnet aren’t too strange, as both basically mean the same thing. I’ll assume you’re familiar with a hood, and a bonnet is of course a wide-brimmed, dainty lady’s hat that’s tied under the chin. And if you think about it, a hood/bonnet on a car basically fulfils the function of a hood or a bonnet (in terms of clothing). They cover the engine, like they also cover our heads. An interesting suggestion I came across here is that the reason for the use of the more feminine bonnet in British influence is an influence from European languages. In many gendered languages such as French, the word for car is feminine (une voiture), and people are thus more likely to think of their cars as female and give them feminine names. Hood on the other hand is a no-nonsense gender-neutral word for Americans who have no time for such Old-World frivolity.

Boot and trunk are a little stranger though. Trunk makes sense: like a chest, it’s a place to store things. But a boot? That’s just something you wear on your feet, no? Yes, and that’s where the term comes from.

Maybe.

Around the beginning of the 17th century, carriages began to feature seats on the outside, on the side of the carriage. These became known as boots, and over time, they moved from the side of the carriage to the back, and became used more for storage than seating. Some consider that they were known as boots as that’s where you placed your boots, while others say it’s because they were shaped like a boot. Whatever the reason, it’s perhaps not too surprising that in the Old World we’d keep using a 400-year old word, whereas in the United States they were for the more logical trunk.

One old world from the time of carriages that has remained in use on both sides of the Atlantic though is dashboard. Originally it referred to a wooden board on the front of a carriage to prevent mud splashing on the driver when he’s dashing, and continues to be used to refer to the location of the instrument panels on a modern car, in a similar position. And while it doesn’t quite fulfil the same function (though you would get pretty muddy without a dashboard in your car) that’s also the case of the increasingly common use of the word: a home screen on some manner of screen-based electronic service, featuring a variety of options. It might seem normal to hear people talk about their Xbox dashboard, but considering the difference between it and the original use of the word, it’s in fact a fascinating example of the way words drift through different meanings.

nice lesson

mohamed

i can learn english direct

kaierm123

I really like to improve my English thanks for your teaching ,

falah

yes I had fun. downtown in north america,centre in british, one more stove in north america, cooker in british. good bye n’ so long dear Ronnie.

Efrain

Hi, really nice podcast again. I am kind of liking your presentations – but this time I need to throw something in The bumper has nothing to do with the fender. The fender is usual more like the wing in British. I guess the bumper is the same in both – British and North American English ?!?!

wink wink
JB

Excellent lesson. One request more for you Ronnie. Please do a lesson on USA vs Canada expressions. It would be good to discern the difference between these two.

Mark

I’ve just thought up something Ronnie. Could you somehow organize method about making new lessons on this site, or on a facebook. What do I mean by that? When someone propose a new lesson, then all of us students like it if we agree. And proposition that has the most likes, then you grant our requests. What do you say on that?

Merlin

That is a good idea!

Ronnie

great job Ronnie.
your videos are amazing and simple.
i have a request about “ed” past simple.
could you please, provide some videos about adding “ed” to verbs and its pronunciation whether “t” or “ed” in the endings.

tommy

Rebecca has already done a lesson on that! Search engvid for “ed endings“

Ronnie

It’s me “tommy” after registering.
thanks for your kind reply Ronnie.
i’ll search for it.
thanks again.
have a nice day my amazing teacher.

tommyzambrotta

Yes, she did!

Ronnie

Ronnie. i need really a lesson for prepositions because i am confused about the difference in using each one of them such as from, on, at,in, into. and there are also a certain verbs take a dfinite prepositions after it

sarahqueen

Ronnie

Hi Sarah,

I do believe that prepositions like on in, at, etc should meet certain actions, Please Check Alex’s Prepositions Video which explain it more, Also a good way may help you in the prepositions is to find the sentence smooth when you try to read it and it does give a meaning.

Best Regards

I’d like to know if there is a common language in English that is understandable between all the English speaker countries. i.e form example each Arabian country has their own accent and special words but we have a formal language that is understandable between all Arab countries.

Mostafa

Yes, as I said, ALL English speaking countries understand each other, it is just different vocab./slang that we use!

Hi Ronni,

Thanks,
Richard.

Richard

In North America= pass. In British= overtake

Ronnie

Since I use to speak both of them but dominantly the British, I found it interesting, even I found sometimes confusing people who use to speak the American while I use the British words and vise-verse

nice information

Nyla

thank you for the lesson…I like it

chandanacolombage

Nice class, Ronnie! =) I’ve learned North American English better. I had 5 American coworkers and I never had big problems understanding them, but then a guy from the UK joined our team of workers and things got a bit complicated. As I’m not a native English speaker, the British accent was really difficult for me to grasp while speaking fast. I’ve always wondered if the same happens to native North American English speakers while talking to native British English speakers?

rafaelsantos007

Well, it depends on people`s intelligence level. If someone is smart, they can figure out what other people are saying even if they use different vocabulary. Also, a lot of people have British heritage or had a British friend or watched British tv or have travelled, so they may have been exposed to British English!

Ronnie

Thank you, Ronnie! What really raised my interest so as to making this question is that I’m a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and I swear to God I don’t understand really much what Portugal’s Portuguese speakers mean when they talk fast. So I thought it could kind of be the same thing with the British and North Americans.
Once again, thank you for your time and attention!

rafaelsantos007

Good lesson Ronnie, love the way you teach.

Paul

I clicked on this video by accident, but I also was very lazy to switch the video. So I wait, during the first few seconds I thought in a thousand of swear words and couldn’t bear myself of being so stupid.But the magic began, the class was getting interesting and I ended up felt in love for you Ronnie. Awesome lecture.

stormdancer

What are the meanings of following words both North American and British English?

Sophomore
Junior
Senior

Raghuram

We use these words when talking about four-year school programs (high school or college/university). “Sophomore” means a student in their second year, “junior” is third year, and “senior” is fourth year.

Hello, Ronnie! Did i write correctly your name or no? If no, accept my apologies-) I like to learn English with your funny lessons. My level is beginner, so i didn’t learn “perfect” tenses, but, it seems to me, you will understand me-). I know, i make mistakes, and I learn from it, as you said in some of the your lessons. I study English in Kazakstan, and it is first of problem in studing a language. Because around me i hear a lot of languages- Russian, Kazakh, Chinese, except English, i often forget what i learned in last lessons) I hope, you and your lessons will help me on my way in learning English) So, what do you advise to me?
P.S. Please, correct my mistakes, but remember, i learned only Present Continious, simple, Past and Future Simple=)
Cheers!

remyremy12

Ronnie

The British wording for directional signal is not correct. “Blinkers” (almost always used only in its plural form) is very informal – the usual word is “Indicator” or “Indicators”. I have never ever heard the word “winker” used – I think you would be laughed at for this!

Also, your description of “crossroads” in British English is a little off. I think the more general translation of “intersection” into British English would be “junction”.

The use of the word “crossroads” in British English usually conveys information about the type of junction i.e. there would be a major route with no traffic restrictions crossed by a minor route where drivers must give way. It would not usually be used to describe a traffic-light controlled junction or a roundabout.

As a result of this, “crossroads” in British English would be mostly a rural thing too.

I don’t think “Motorway” is the best translation for highway, either.
“Motorway” in British English refers only to the highest class of highway which has special laws and regulations. I grew up in a city that was 80 miles from the nearest motorway, yet to get to it I could still drive along a 6-lane major road!

Soon I’m going to buy a car. So thanks to your lesson I may look like a professional driver when bying it.

Mohammed

Hi Ronnie I hope you are happy.
Really I totally understand you thanks for your effort for teaching us real English language. So these lessons are very useful for conversation than our schools, which they teach us English in very bad manner and rude. I can read and write English but I can’t speak and heard when I’m talking with English or American people.
Thank you my teacher.

Ali Murad

Perhaps in some parts of the English speaking world but I have never heard that expression! When you say “turn lights” I do understand what you mean though!

I have a question after watching your “British & American English: Cars & Driving Vocabulary” lesson.

After consulting a dictionary, I doubt that bumper and fender seem to be different parts of a car rather than the same part with two names. Is that the case or I misunderstood you?

this is a reference:

I watched some your lessons. They are great and I love them.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hi, Ronnie,
It´s hard to find people like you all, giving your time and knowledge for free.
Congratulations for having a heart like that. Now my question: Is there any difference between american and canadian english accents?
God bless you all. Thanks!

Bont

bouzerara

Hey Ronnie, you are a fantastic teacher, but please don’t confuse America (the continent) with the United States (a country).

gabofve

My favorite word is manual – standard. I’d love to drive a stick shift. It might be hard changing gears, but otherwise, the car would be driving.

Jesse Corey

Hello Ronnie,

I really appreciate your teaching
But could you please fix the following mistake (everyone makes mistakes as you like to say):
a Bumper in UK is also a Bumper in US/CAN.
Fender is a different stuff (for motorcycle).

Greeting,
Mohamed

In Indonesia, English is used only in international public service such as airports, hotels, bank, etc. Many people have a good vocabulary but don’t understand grammar at all. They speak in English but with Indonesian Grammar. American and British English are mixed and blended, To Foreigner we say “Crossroad” to call a crossed-by wide roads ( at least 4 tracks) and “Intersection” for narrow crossed-by streets. “Pavement” is a kind of “Sidewalk” where people may also selling merchandise and foods on it, while “Sidewalk” is specialized only for taking a walk.

sherif mabrouk

hey Ronnie
Can you give your skype Please

I’m very confused with the word GET
because americans, canadians, australians and british people mix some words with get and that does ONE VERB.

HELP ME PLEASE; I need you help me. I hope you can read this comment. Thank you so much for teaching me new things ever single day of my life.

Anthony

thanks a lot ms. Ronnie.

I have watched dozens of your videos. They are really sick! But I am a little vexed because when you speak about United States, you say America. And America is South, Central and North America. United States is part of America. Not America itself. So North America is México, US and Canada, all together. Keep on helping us (americanos) to better our English!
