What is 'easy-as'?

Easy-as is one of many classic kiwi expressions. Private-as is the SPB motto!

Kent from learn to language puts it better than I ever could so there is a helpful quote of his wonderful writing skills showing examples of how Kiwis will add 'as' to words / incorporate into sentances. Learn more about being private as with your web browsing.


"Sweet as" and the use of "as"

Perhaps the most iconic New Zealand phrase, "sweet as" is a versatile expression meaning "excellent" or "no problem." The "as" doesn't refer to anything specific ; it's just a grammatical quirk that Kiwis love that basically means "really" or "very". For example, "Everything's sweet as!" means everything is going great.

Example:

   Hey mate, I'll pop over around 2 pm. –  Sweet as!
   I'm hungry as, I haven't eaten all day.
   I'm tired as = I'm really tired
