Yes B’y-Get Newfinese straight to your inbox!

If you’ve ever heard a Newfoundlander say something that made you grin and scratch your head—Yes b’y, that’s Newfinese.

It’s our own way of talking: a mix of Irish, English, Scottish, and French influences, blended with island humor and heart. You’ll hear it in kitchens, on fishing boats, and “around the bay,” always with warmth and a twinkle in the eye.

A few favorites:

● Yes b’y! – You bet!

● Some good – Really great.

● I dies at you – You’re cracking me up.

● Proper ting – Exactly right.

At Newfinese Please, we celebrate this language by putting it on totes, hoodies, t-shirts, and more—made to order, no waste. Whether you’re a livyer (born and bred), a CFA (Come From Away), or just love a good yarn, you’ll find something here to make you say, Deadly good, b’y!
