Channeling Your Inner Bridgerton with Informal vs. Posh English

In this video, we will explore the differences between everyday informal English and very formal 'posh' English, often heard in English period dramas.

Informal: What's up?
Posh: How do you do?
Informal: Need a hand?
Posh: May I be of assistance?
Informal: Gotta go.
Posh: I must take my leave.
Informal: Thanks a lot.
Posh: I am most grateful.
Informal: I'm really sorry.
Formal: I sincerely apologise.
Informal: What's new?
Posh: What news have you?
Informal: Let's hang out.
Posh: Shall we convene?
Informal: I'm hungry.
Posh: I am feeling peckish.
Informal: Hurry up.
Posh: Do make haste.
Informal:Goodbye, mate!
Posh: Farewell, dear friend

[tdman]

What words should I use to express my gratitude?

[alexlondon]

your “posh version” is a caricature, we can ear Charles and his lot if we want a rificulous clown

[HannesA-myxp]

The informal sounds more sincere. The posh sounds a bit stuck up who still speaks like that except the king ?

[heath]

"How do you do?" is not equivalent to "What's up?", is it???

[GreySpyder]

Oh this is cringe AF seeing a grown man do this
