2. Now Then
Now then, we best get started with an easy one. When a Yorkshireman or woman starts a sentence with ‘Now then’, it is simply a way of greeting one another. For example, ‘Now then, how are you doing?’ ‘Not bad thank you’. Photo: James Hardisty
3. Owt
David Darling; “Owt definitely. My first week in Yorkshire, a colleague asked me "Do you want owt from town?" My reply: "I'm not going to town, so don't need a lift!"” Owt in Yorkshire just means ‘anything’. ‘I.e ‘What do you fancy for tea?’ ‘Owt’. Photo: Tony Johnson
4. Nowt
Similar to owt, nowt simply means ‘nothing’. For example, ‘What are you up to today?’ ‘Nowt much, just chilling’. Photo: Bruce Fitzgerald
