you might know them as "windhose"

i am 40 and seen 2 of them.. they are small, they dont last long...but they exist

I experience several

Funny. Just tonight (well… yesterday evening…) there were at least some thunderstorms with noticeable rotation over southern Rhineland-Palatinate. Apparently none formed into an actual tornado on the ground, but I assure you, there was quite some potential just 12 hours ago.

We get them a lot where i live... 5 or 6 years ago a tornado absolutely destroyed one street nearby, it looked like a warzone afterwards. It depends on where you live in Germany... I would say every 2-3 yrs there is one tornado or something similiar here. Google: Tornado in Luxembourg 2019

Because most think about these huge tornadoes you see in US movies and forget that there are different types/classes of tornadoes.

I think that's why he made that quotation gesture, but I can see that it's actually not really note worthy and thus may be quite confusing for a german to hear. I already knew that even a stronger (for germany) tornado is possible. But "ally" is maybe a bit over the top, but I see where he's coming from thinking about the topography and wind patterns.

Really? I saw, three times. One was in the harbour of Hamburg some years ago.

One almost killed my grandparents in paderborn a few years ago. threw a tree on their house and stuck a traffic sign in their 2nd floor Wall like a spear. But in general they are rare. Nothing like in the USA.

What do you mean ?

@@evesbolling142 That means, that Germany is not to reduce to 12 years of bad history which is all what they learn in school.

@@atconnys8786 I know im german. But at the Moment im not a Fan of EU and Germany. Because all of Our money go for free to the World. We havt tp work to the age of 72 and pay the most many for rent and sadly dont get enough rent later just because Our money goes to the World. And the stupid Politics in Our Land tell us that we dont allowed to be proud that we are germans. Germany is heaven for ervery one but not for germans !. Everyone can come to us and dont have to work, they just get free money for nothing and forever!. For me and the Real germans, germany is modern slavery !

@@atconnys8786 Now Our politics would say that im a Na..! Its a shame what is Our polics! Germany need AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) they say that the evil vut its not true ! Elon musk said it too that they are good and not evil. In Our country the normal medial TV shows are pure propaganda (fake news)

@@atconnys8786 its a fact, Germany flag waving is a crime after the EM. Its So stupid and unnormal. They (politics) want delete everything what is german. The try to change the national athem !. They want german and france troops in ukraine to attack russian, its serious stupid.! You See atm we have the biggest idioten in polics! I hope the people wake up an vote AfD.! Atm its just round about 30%

Salty bread is correct, though. I don't know where you are from. I am German, but I have lived in the U.S. The use of salty and sweet between German and U.S. is a lot different. I also think, that we don't have any sweet bread, I could be mistaken. Maybe, pumpkin bread could be considered sweet, hmmm... The basic bread types are maybe a dozen or 20. Sometimes, it is like: ok, this bread has some pieces of nut in it and the other has some addtional seed in the crust. And the you are like: ok, these are the same. the next three are also about the same and if you really think about it, then you actually have very little choice even though that baker has 15 'different' types of bread.

@@hemelinger7792 American "bread" isn't even allowed to be called bread anywhere in Europe as the sugar content classifies it as cake.

Well, I live in Berlin and I am getting fed up with all these hip and demanding internationals. Also many Germans don"t speak English that well. And why should we.

@@user-no4rf9hm6k Why should we? Because our economics depend on import and export, we need to be able to make business. Some of our European neighbours speak English. We want diplomatic, peaceful relations to other countries (talk, not fight). Because the language of "science" is english. (As a German engineer, the very most documents, datasheets I´m reading are in English, and those datasheets I´m writing are also in English). Because most computer languages rely on Englisch commands, most songs we hear are in English. A single worldwide communcation language simply makes sense. And not to forget, it´s a sign of intelligence, compliance and respect. ... and many many other reasons. Even most RU-vid video comments are written in English ;-)

If you want to study abroad in Germany, chances are that you will be able to speak english with other students. There are people, who do not speak english as well as others (obviously), but universities would be one of the spots, where you get the highest percentage of competent english speakers. Especially, if the university has a good department in one of the MINT subjects or languages.

If I go to a foreign country - even on vacation ... I at least try to speak their language. Just to show some respect for their hospitality. And if you study for free for several years in a foreign country (no matter in which country and from which country you are) ... but don't show any respect, that's just a parasitic behaviour.

It's *not* free. We (the taxpayer) pay for it every month. It should be required for foreginers to stay here, find a job and pay back the money they took from us by using our systems for their benefits. These systems are not for the world to use, but for our German kids. We pay for them, not for every Joe that thinks it's hip and cool to move abroad and live a parasitic lifestyle.

It's a beautiful country! 🤩

​@@EmAndAshh Well, it depends on where you are 🤷‍♀️

that's how they trap you.

Does that hold for non-EU citizens as well? Sweden has changed this.

@@andreasfischer9158 Sure, but they have to pay for their living by themself, rent, food, internet and sp on.

@atconnys8786 I see. Swedish universities charge an annual 15,000 € equivalent these days. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens are exempt. Cost of living has to be added, of course.

We (the German taxpayers) pay for it. It never was, isn't and never will be free. Nothing in life comes for free. Just because you don't see the bill, doesn't mean nobody does.

@@Fuerwahrhalunke True

Auf widersehen is more formal way of saying goodbye. Tschüss in Standard German is more in the informal settings

Tschüss hat norddeutsche, warscheinlich Hamburger Wurzeln, hat sich nach WW2 über ganz Deutschland verbreitet, ist damit vermutlich in Köln früher angekommen als in Passau. Sprache lebt, ändert sich, wird von den Menschen geändert, nicht selten gar vergewaltigt - in Hamburg zu Tschüsstschüss, im Osten zu Tschüssi, aus dem Süden hat mich ein Tschüssele zu Boden geworfen... TelAviv!!! Und die englische Conation IST goodbye - Auf wiedersehen, nicht widersehen - again, nicht against.

Tschüs was adopted as a loanword from the Romance language area (cf. adieu, adiós, adeus, ade) and actually means “God bless you”.

aye, in Hamburg and Northgermany we also say "Tschüss" , but for "Hello" we say MOIN ( god morning) the funny part is, we use it every time we meet someone, dosen't matter real time is :) If u want to be kindly u say "Moin Moin" but that's allways risky, some may think (he / she talks a lot) if u say more than one word :P ^^ Reagard from Schleswig-Holstein

@@kaipetersen1713 That is not correct. Moin stems from the low german 'moi' which means pleasant, good, nice. Whether it is said once or twice is a regional thing.These regions are neighboring, though. So, if you are just at that cultural border, people will frown on either side, if you don't say it as you should in that region. Common answers to doing it wrong are: "A second Moin is for the lazy people in (next village). We say it once and get on with the day." And in the other village they will say something about being impolite by saying it once only. Another reason why people might look at you in a funny way, if you say it twice, where once is normal, is because you often say the first name of person and then Moin. If you say Moin twice and there is a Maik, Mark, Maren, Moni around, then they might actually hear their name and wonder how you two know each other. Interesting: When I lived in Schwaben, there are some people that greet with "Moije" (can't spell like they actually say it). That is actually closer the low German word.

there are as well Bavarian cuckoo clocks.

​@@somersault4762und chinesische auch!!!

Corect!

I can sadly agree with this. Just some at some places it works out better, like Görlitz-Zgorzelec.

About Ludwig van Beethoven, his name at the very least indicates Dutch ancestry (the "van" is a dead giveaway, in Flemish it would be Ludwig VanBeethoven, note the extra capital and missing space).

@@apveening Ancestry is irrelevant for this specific conversation. He was certainly German by any metric. With the same argument one could try to argue that Cleopatra VII was Macedonian, as her ancestry is unquestionably Macedonian nobility - her ancestor Ptolemaios I was an officer under Alexander the Great. But despite this, she must be considered Egyptian. I do admit that it can be difficult to allocate a certain nationality and I am a bit strange in the way I classify nationality of historic figures, as countries were very different (for instance, Germany as a country didn‘t really exist, it was a more or less culturally and historically connected assortment of kingdoms, princedoms, shires, free cities, Hanseatic cities, prince-bishoprics and more, of varying sizes, power, economic status and standing. However, I would classify a historic figure from an area that has been, and still is, fundamentally German (such as the city of Cologne, which can be considered very much German from the moment the Ancient Roman Empire ceased to exist). This makes Beethoven relatively easy. However, regions that have been largely free from the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, the German Empire or the Austrian-Hungarian Empire (as some examples), which can give us a basic understanding of what I consider German _when born in that specific time period,_ are more difficult. Another important factor is the language spoken _at that time_ in that specific region - which doesn‘t help to distinguish between Austria and Germany, but certainly between Austria and Czechia or Hungary, as well as the mother tongue of the individual in question. As for the possibility of a person whose family usually lived in a country, but was born somewhere else (on holiday, or even a very long trip, not too unusual in some eras), I still consider them by the family‘s usual home - except they never returned there and they were raised in a different country and possibly culture - but this is not very common. Example: Austria claims Wolfang Amadeus Mozart, but his family came from Augsburg (which is German) and he himself was born in Salzburg, a city that belonged to a prince-bishopric at the time and therefore basically independent from both the German and Austrian Empire - the most political affiliation at the time was the Electorate of Bavaria, which itself was part of the Holy Roman Empire. So one could see Mozart as Bavarian, German, Austrian or even completely independent from all those modern nationalities, and all positions have valid arguments. I personally consider him as Austrian-Bavarian, due to his strong ties (and work) to Vienna and therefore the Austrian Empire (as well as Salzburg being located in today‘s Austria) and the independent nature of his birthplace that can‘t be allocated to any nationality that still exists. By the way, I count certain regions as quasi-nationalities in this context, when historically sound - for instance, Bavaria is part of Germany, and was part of basically every German Empire throughout history, but I still consider Bavaria as somewhat separate, same goes for Bohemia or Saxonia. Another example: Gustav Mahler is considered Austrian. He was born in Kalischt, Bohemia (former German spelling), which _was_ part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. His name is also German, not Czech, and Bohemia was speaking mostly German at that time, so I consider him Austrian-Bohemian, but am consenting to Austrian. Franz Liszt, on the other hand, was born firmly in Austria (Raidingen), at that time the region was called _Western Hungary._ His father was an administrator at the court of Nikolaus II Esterházy, who I consider Hungarian by basically every metric. Raiding was part of the Kingdom of Hungary within the Austrian Empire at that time. Liszt‘s mother language was, however, German (rather common in the Austrian-Hungarian border regions) and didn‘t learn Hungarian until he was around 60 - in fact, he himself, having learnt French from a rather young age which became his main and favourite language, considered France as his proverbial _fatherland._ So, was he Hungarian? His birthplace was in Hungary, after all. Was he fully Austrian, as the town is now in Austria? Can we go so far and follow his own preference and consider him French? I personally would say that he is a prime example of KuK, and was _truly_ Austrian-Hungarian. But if pressed, I tend to Austria. These examples may show how difficult this topic can be _if_ - and only if - the implications are ambiguous. Back to the case of Beethoven - not even considering the recent genealogical analysis that might implicate an ancestry that isn‘t reflected in official records - his (for this consideration) grandfather was originally from Mechelen (today: Belgium), but was called to the Court of the Elector of Cologne in Bonn in 1733, and he stayed there. Ludwig was, as I said, baptised in 1770 in Bonn, nearly 40 years after his grandfather moved there. His family lived in house no. 515 (today: number 20) in the Bonngasse in Bonn, so it is very most likely that he _was_ born in Bonn _and_ that his family was well integrated into the society of their home town, Ludwig being the second generation born in the Electorate of Cologne.

Heute show is more the softer satire. They often do not go into detail and make fun of political things. That is fine if you just want to not take yourself or others to seriously. For a more brutal satire there are other options, also with subtitles avaiable on RU-vid (especially if it has to do with the USA) from scenes of "Die Anstalt" or whole shows from Volker Pispers. I just wished there would be episodes from "Mann, Sieber!" with german subtitles.

To this topic, I can recommend a quote from the german philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860): “The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.”
