People Also Ask
What does 'nyem' mean in Geordie?
It simply means 'name' — it's the Geordie pronunciation, where the long 'a' sound becomes 'ye'.
Is 'nyem' the same vowel change as in 'myek' and 'tyek'?
Yes — Geordie regularly turns the standard long 'a' into a 'ye' sound, so make becomes myek, take becomes tyek, and name becomes nyem.
