Good day peeps.

There's this female friend of mine. We've known each other for quite a while but really became close friends not too long ago.
There's this thing she does whenever we're talking, I dunno y but it pisses me off.
She automatically starts to form british accent

Pls how do I POLITELY tell her to stop and be herself and SPEAK NORMAL ENGLISH

Thats a characteristic of some 9ja chicks. They believe faking a british accent is poshy. Btw, does she use that same british accent when talking to her friends? And did she start faking the accent after you two started dating or has it been there even when you two were just 'friends'?

Vessi: Thats a characteristic of some 9ja chicks. They believe faking a british accent is poshy. Btw, does she use that same british accent when talking to her friends?

. NO. She speaks lyk every normal nigerian. Her natural accent aint bad at all infact.

And did she start faking the accent after you two started dating or has it been there even when you two were just 'friends'?

we're not dating.
Yes she started it when became closer friends.

Op u sed u are 'closer frends' shey? Tell her jokingly den let hr knw dat u mean it or mimick her constanly,she'll be irritated & forced 2 stop or better stl wen she starts hr queens english respond in pidgin....lets see aw it goes

Are u guys from same tribe? If yes, stop speaking english (when not official) to her again, speak ur local language n make it clear in ur language dat u dont appreciate her britico stuff.
If no, tell her u appreciate nature dat u dont appreciate d britico stuff.

Aha! wonderful ideas. I'll try these.
Thanks

Alright prettyem has said it all.
I thought friends are open to eachother?
Why are you too shy/weak to tell her what you feel?

I wouldn't say I'm 'shy/weak'. I just didn't wan2 'sound' rude.

are you a polite guy?

Vessi: are you a polite guy?

very

Feel free to add ur suggestions pals. Thanks in advance

Op u no go school?

top notched guy: very

then say it however you wish to say it. If you are polite as you said then whatever that comes out from those lips would be damn unrude

King_blingz: Op u no go school?

No sir.
I've neva seen the 4 walls of a classroom in my entire life
Happy?

Kindly post what's relevant to d topic.
Thanks.

Give her a very hot slap....
And tell her not to ever use such accent with you again......

Izzit yooo mouth? Why you so concerned?

It's just a phase. She will outgrow it.

If she still forms for you, it means you guys are not as very close as you said.

I will advise you to go with the flow as there's little or no polite way to tell a girl what you dislike about her. Things will fall in place when you guys really get closer.

As for me, I will even encourage her if she speaks it well. After all, that's the kind of accent every English speaker is supposed to have.

She needs to stop talking to you.

What if she is trying it on you for a reason?

I once had to work with a telemarketing company and my zulu sucked...my supervisor told me to go and learn...or else and the clients at d other end of the phone calls can be mean, they notice your accent and they stop speaking English and stick to their native tongue.... what would u av me do?

I started torturing my flatmates with the thing..

Didn't tell them why till later...cos I didn't want them to b biased. Do u think I wouldn't av appreciated it if they had said

'siisi, you suck!"

I got sacked by d way

What would i say now that would be new to the ears?

Chioma's own is different oo, she invents her own pronounciation of words just to form oral English and sometimes we won't even know what she is talking about.

My point is some gals(lik chioma) just want to form

Exponental: Are u guys from same tribe? If yes, stop speaking english (when not official) to her again, speak ur local language n make it clear in ur language dat u dont appreciate her britico stuff.
If no, tell her u appreciate nature dat u dont appreciate d britico stuff.

This.

When friends start to run you down or feel insecure in your presence, its time to let them go.

A word is enough for the wise, very few friendships last forever and these days some would just as soon finish you off as look as you.

Its that easy.
