Imagine saying West and East Germany were uncreative names for the two German nations that were created after WW2 when neither were called that and instead Deutsch-Demokratische Republik and Bundesrepublik Deutschland respectively...
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles Über alles in der Welt Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze Brüderlich zusammen hält Von der Maas bis an die Memel Von der Etsch bis an den Belt
Well, spanish peeps do that even under videos that have nothing to do with them because they cant speak English. But you are right, speaking English would be really nice under an English video.
Hold up, "only the british correctly reffer to it as germany"? They call themselves 'Deutschland', and we (speaking Dutch) call it 'Duitsland', so we are probably the closest to getting it correct! (Not mad btw, just dissapointed...)
The regulations are, that one can buy any sort of alcohol, that does not require destillation, at the age of 16 (for example beer, wine, champeign etc.) and everything else at the age of 18.
But it’s not an official language I think. If he didn’t go by official languages he could have also named countries like the US where waaaaay more people speak german
The evidence, that german is not a weird language is, that he accidently pronounced the english intro as if it was "german" and it also sound like Hitler would speak
Me (German seeing this vid) : Exzept from ze pronounziation and a few things I never heard of: Not bad. (for a northern German, this actually means almost excitement)
As a Currywurst Pro from German I say that you should eat in Bochum or the Ruhrgebiet (Ruhrzone) And I have never seen a McDonald's where you can order beer.
I'm proud of me: I'm *german* but I wrote a *english* comment under a english video by a *english* creator who understands only the *english* language.
Wait, are we having deja vu again? No, no, don't worry motherfactors, you're not crazy - this is a reupload! You guys loved it so much the first time that we decided that after we had to take the original down, we should bring it back for you all! Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for watching!
@@revetiic and Switzerlanders aren't known to complain about ANY changes to anything at all. You could change the colour yellow to make it 0.00001% brighter and Germans are going to complain and prophecy the doom of Germany because of that.
Can we all please stop to talk about his funny English accent but appreciate how entertaining he tells us all these facts!! I love the way this guy talks it is hilarious and refreshing lol
About Fact 101: It is far easier for Viruses to be transmitted over airflow when the Air is cold and dry. Therefore that common practice actually holds some truth
Quite a lot of inaccuracies, but most importantly for all Christmas lovers: The "Christkind" does NOT bring the presents in all of Germany, only in a few, mostly catholic, areas. Here in the north we have Santa Claus (or the "Weihnachtsmann") like everywhere else.
Oh Mann, wieder typisch Deutsch. Hätte ich Weihnachtsmann allein gesagt, wäre das nicht verständlich gewesen für Englisch-sprechende Zuschauer. Und die Mähr vom Cola-Santa kannst Du Dir gleich sparen.
@@OldNerdTV der Weihnachtsmann ist aber eine Erfindung von Coca Cola und was ist hier typisch deutsch? höchstens du das du rumheulst wenn Leute dich korrigieren
I've been to Germany twice, the second time staying there for four whole months. It is a lovely country, and I wish I could go back and experience more while living there. Also, the fact about so many bombs dating back to WWII is accurate: when I went on a tour of Munich, my tour guide was an archaeologist specializing in WWII related sites. They find bombs regularly and have to defuse them. I got to hold a piece of one that had exploded. It was literally heavy metal. Please do 101 Facts About: 1. Bees 2. Sailor Moon 3. Ballet 4. King Arthur 5. Lucifer (TV series) 6. The Die Hard films
I live in cologne, one of the most bombed cities in World War Two. Evacuations because of wwii bomb defusal are pretty usual, in cologne alone their is at least one major defusal every week, we even have a special unit called Kampfmittelräumdienst. Bevor you can build a House and start excavation you have to check with them if there are potential bombs in the ground. It is believed that to date only 20% of undetonated bombs have been found, the rest remains in the ground.
Hey in case anyone is interested in some German critics of some of these facts: Sorry for being a bit exact, but that eagle you have shown us at 28:53 ain‘t the golden eagle but it’s merely the little brother: the bald eagle(the American symbol). Also the Special counting of time you have talked about mostly happens in the more eastern parts of Germany. Many west Germans actually say „a quarter past three“. Oh and in Germany most children do get their presents from our version of Santa, called the Weihnachtsmann (originating in a German, by the Pope holy spoken man, with the name Nikolaus (you might see where the name Santa Claus comes from). This legend of the holy man developed the Weihnachtsmann which again developed to Santa Claus in the US. The Christkind is kinda getting outdated and really mostly only a practiced for the more religious (also most of the time catholic) children. Btw sorry for any language mistakes on my part.
@@noel.friedrich True, but thing is, a square is a rectangle, just as a rectangle is a parallelogram, which is also a polygram, so there is no contradiction... I don't get his problem :'D
I feel extremely bad for Germany because of their history and not everybody has forgiven them for it considering they have made so many revolutionary inventions and Germany is such a lovely place.
To sum up the speech bubbles: "Ich bin schon tot, ich glaube nicht, dass ich etwas in Panik versetzen kann." means: "I'm alrady dead, I don't think that I can panic something." "Nun, jetzt weist du, dass deine Oma die Perücken gefunden hast." means: "Now you know that your Grandma has found the Wigs." "Deine Familie gibt dir jedes Jahr Tumore." means: "Your family gives you tumors every year." "Wir sind verrückt nach Liebe, die verrückt nach Katzen ist." means: "We're crazy for love, that is crazy for cats." "Steh auf Shorty" means: "Stand up Shorty" ... Yeah some of them make no sense!
@@thorodinson292 Muss dich leider enttäuschen, ist in einem Anfall von Kreativität vor Jahren mal entstanden. (Ich hatte ursprünglich eine Sankt Martin Laterne gebastelt und das war das Stück, was oben rausgeschnitten wurde.
Number 94 entirely depends on where in Germany you are... Ususally in "old" East Germany it is as you said, and everywhere else it is "normal" like a quarter to 3 is 2:45... But we use a 24h system and not the am and pm system.
at 100: at least splice the compund words right. Get a German on board who is maybe saying all of the german words and how they are said... I know compuond words are difficult, but seeing them butcherd up like that just hurts
The Moment when you’re a German and you did not know that there is something like a Fanta Kuchen. I mean, who likes the taste of Fanta with sugar, milk and flour baked to a cake? Also ehrlich, das ist wirklich ein Gericht von der Sugspize 😂 Des isch aba ä tolles Video. Und ich find‘s ja suba dass du dir so Arbeit macsch. Ein Wunsch habe ich aber noch. Sprich diese Wörter richtig aus: Eichhörnchen, Glühwürmchen, Brötchen, Küchenschrank 🤣
those long words dont really exist, theoreticaly they do but nobody ever uses them. Also the "word" mentioned in #100 is about 10 words just put together. Think of it as "Drivers License" just beeing spelled "Driverslicense" and i highly doubt u can find that word anywhere but in a contest to make the longest possible word.
German grammar rules enables you to combine nearly endless words together as long you follow some basic rules. Therefore we can create words with 193 letters and more, we would never use them cause they are more complicated than just shorten them to a small word group but it's technically possible.

@@jph3945 There are some cases, it is used not to the extend to infinity, but in a ridiculous manner: like the infamous en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinderkennzeichnungs-_und_Rindfleischetikettierungs%C3%BCberwachungsaufgaben%C3%BCbertragungsgesetz
No only eastern Canadian have bagged milk. I'm Canadian and I can honestly say I've never once seen a bag of milk for sale at any grocery store in Western Canada
fun fact: in germany you can also buy bags of milk, atleast when i was younger, cant recall seeing bags of milk in ages tho, but also dont live in germany anymore.
As I am from luxembourg I was happy that it was just mentioned in the video. But I would love to watch a 101 facts about luxembourg. I could try to give you some facts about luxembourg if you want :P Also we do enjoy dinner for one as well during new years eve as it is shown on german TV
For anyone interested, the Z's in "Zugspitze" roughly sound like the sound you make when you press air in between teeth and tongue. A "ts" sound. Try putting your teeth close together and softly press your tongue on the bottom teeth and then try to say "TS". A distinctive ts sound should become audible, that sounds like the Z sound in german
Sorry, but that's not true. It's deduced from the Old High German word "Diot" which means nation or people and has its root in the Germanic word "þeuđo".
