@Pedder246 7 месяцев назад

The better Translation for "mahlzeit" would be "meal time" since its out of two words (mahl = meal / food and zeit = time)

@willzyxOfficial 5 месяцев назад

But how is it used? For example in Dutch it's virtually the same, "maaltijd", but people use this word to mean "meal", not "meal time", even if that is the literal translation. Could imagine German does the same.

@Pedder246 5 месяцев назад

@@willzyxOfficial how is it used, thats kinda weird to explain. I'll portray some Situations in a lets say office job: 1. You leave your Desk for lunch: you simply say "mahlzeit" to your coworkers while you exit the room. Everybody Knows youre having your lunch break. 2. You come back from your lunch break: you step into the office and say "mahlzeit". Everybody knows you've Finished your lunch break. 3. You Pass by a coworker at the corridor around lunch break time: you simply say "mahlzeit". Therefore its more Like a greeting or something like "hey dude, its time for lunch" So basically its a multi purpose word for working fellas that is used for greeting, goodbye, and telling somebody that you are going to take a lunch break.

@willzyxOfficial 5 месяцев назад

@@Pedder246 But is it then only a lunch/work thing? Not something you use when having dinner with friends for example? Like after eating "Das war ein leckeres mahlzeit"?

@Pedder246 5 месяцев назад

@@willzyxOfficial some people may use it in their non-working-environment. But its very unusal. If youre having lunch with friends you would more likely say "guten appetit" wich is like good appetite. Or you say "gudn" wich kinda means enjoy your meal. Do you say maaltjijd before taking lunch or any other meal?

@willzyxOfficial 5 месяцев назад

@@Pedder246 It isn't just a greeting/wish to someone else, it's used as a regular word for meal. Like you can use it when saying you had a good meal, or you're going to make a nice meal tonight, etc. Seems like the use is indeed a bit different, despite being the literal translation. Always funny to see how virtually same words in Dutch and German sometimes get used differently. Sometimes very differently, or even reversed (See/Meer).

Isnt the "homeoffice rate" risen substantially since the pandemic? my employer still tries to get his employes (roughly 2000, an IT-company) "back to office" - but mostly in vain. "kein bock auf office" is more the common saying.😂

@dweuromaxx 8 месяцев назад

Yes, it rose substantially since the pandemic. But, like you said, it’s changing a little now. Our reference here is Germans’ preference for how they want to work in the future - and indeed, it seems a lot want that hope office flexibility 😎

€22.65/hour is average for an office worker? McDonalds in hiring at a starting wage of $17-$18 in California, with lower taxes.

@strangetoucan 11 месяцев назад

Yeah it's lower in Germany but your employer also pays half of your health insurance and pension. Also you get unlimited paid sick time and at least 24 days paid holiday. But to be fair minimum wage is 12€ and we have a big exploitative sector. Cheap labour is the Germans favourite labour. It's very common to have a master's degree and work for 17 € hourly wage. That's what I did. 3000 a month before taxes. We have a lot of older people that complain that they can't find anyone who wants to work anymore. But pay rises are ridiculously small and you'll never get a well paid job without years of experience and a leading role. (Unless you're a programmer or some sort of business studies person)

@@sweiland75 "Reputation"? I watch/listen a fair bit of DW, France 24, BBC, and I have to say they all present a very selective (i.e. biased) view of America. They seem to get their talking points from the Socialist Party USA. I've been to Europe 7 times and look forward to my next visit but, personally, I'd prefer to make more money and keep more of it. I don't need the government deciding how the fruits of my labor should be allocated in my "best interest." I'm capable of doing that myself. More and more people don't mind because it's easier to have government bureaucrats make their decisions for them. Sad. In any event, wages in Europe are shockingly much lower than in the U.S., that was the point of my post.
