Hey Germans This is was shocking for me as i didn't know Germany ad islands and also coastal beaches, thank you for watching click this link to add German videos to playlist on RU-vid so that i can react to whatever German videos you would love to see me react to. ru-vid.com/group/PLXhs9SvQ0metWyVtXwK7sQ8mTsgYAa1Bf&jct=_giRaSTESqry1O3zaDeVAwJdp6skxA
Thank you very much for re-posting the playlist :) Ive seen that the video i have recommended in the last video allready is in the playlist :D I really recommend you to react it next, because there also you learn something about german islands, like one of our islands is only reachable by foot on the mud at the time of eb until the water comes back and floods everything. So "geography now! Deutschland" is really a good choice for you :D But i will add some other good videos in the playlist what will help you to understand our country :)
Moin when you hit 10.000 Subscribers and come to Germany. i could show you some parts of Northern Germany (Schleswig Hollstein). I life there since i was born. Your Videos are just amazing. Love to see that you are interrested at Germany. So Greetings from Bad Segeberg👍😄
You know *who* Ængland founded and "their tribes language" Ænglish as the national language made? *Ængland* means *Land of the Ængel-Saxon* *Ænglish* means *Language of the Ængel-Saxon* So who are those and were did they came from? in short: *Germany primary* *England is named after the Angles (Old English genitive case, "Engla" - hence, Old English "Engla Land"), the largest of a number of Germanic tribes who settled in England in the 5th and 6th centuries, who are believed to have originated in Angeln, in modern-day northern Germany.* *The saxons, the 2nd largest germanic tribe with this germanic group:* The continental Saxons are no longer a distinctive ethnic group or country but *their name lives on in the names of several regions and states of Germany,* including *Lower Saxony (which includes central parts of the original Saxon homeland known as Old Saxony), Saxony in Upper Saxony, as well as Saxony-Anhalt* So there you go & understand WHY this guy,... speaking the *orgin.* (old english) of the english language, can "faster learn" the "modern english" ;) So,... Ænglish is basicly *German Slang Language* *Deer* in english not only sounds like german word *Tier,* > They are in fact,... *the same.* In _Old english,_ before it got changed in modern english, deer dit *NOT* ment a specific animal! > _"Small deer"_ ment _"small creature(s)"_ > Same as german _Tier_ does *also in writting:* > Old German: *Tior* > Old English: *Dior* Switching T with the similar D sound,... is creating a _slangTyp_ ;) The old germanic letter *Æ* is still in German by the modern version of the letter *Ä* *Ä* the 2 dots over the A, represent the E or e, on the side. To this day, german language *allows* to _"write out"_ a [Ä] as [Ae] and a [ä] as [ae] Also old english *had all articles, german has* They just got simplfied in "modern english" to just beeing 1,.. "the" or as some foreigners would use often in german (which is none but anyone undertands it) with the *fake* article *"des"* des Stein instead *der* Stein des Tasse instead *die* Tasse des Brot instead *das* Brot own made up simplified article, any german would understand but also knows this person ahs no clue about articles lol.
Another fun-fact: German federal state *Hessen* is te modified name of one of the biggest germanic tribes in Germany,... the *Chatti* Chatti, Ch was in germanic just a "h" and spoken as [x]. So spoken out name: *Xatti* 100-50 BC, the Chatti splitted (without fight) and the one wandering away, settled down were today is,.. *Netherland.* ;) Today Netherland language is called in English *Dutch* But Germans call their country *D(e)ut(s)chland* > For Ænglish people in old english times, they called *BOTH* the Duits, what will be dutch later on for the same meaning. Germany and the Netherlands did not exist in they way they do now. So, to the English, the Dutch were the Deutsch & visa versa. They seen both as the same *duits/dutch/deutsch* Ever wondered why the *Elderbush* is called that way? Which *Elder* are ment here? > Since we germans, *rune-bind* words related to our germanic roots, to this day, we can *backtrace* words meaning/how the got to the "meaning of smt". A word is a meaning of smt, so is a Letter, Rune-Letter a meaning if smt... just letters *bound* creating a new "meaning of smt" and in german we take the extra step to bind *again* several *Rune-Bindings* into a _"new"_ Meaning of smt. So what has this to do with *Elderbush?* In German, Elderbush is *"Hollunderbush"* consitsing, as so often, of several *shorten* words: *Holle* + *under* + _(the/dem)- *Busch* > *under* is in _older germanic and old frisian (german north ;))_ the orgin of "moder german" *unter* with a t instead a d. > The saxons (german germanic tribe) who created with the Angles (german germanic tribe) English, brought this into English. So "Holle under Busch" *Who or What is "Holle" ?* You save know, Brother Grims Fairytales book, were they *collected fairy tales arround all regions of Germany,* ... one specific *Frau Holle* or in english if i am right, _"Mother Holle", "Mother Hulda" or "Old Mother Frost"_ *Holle* is one of the most used *cover up name* for the highest *germanic goddess.* *Why cover up name?* Besides most used *Holle* they are depending on german regions similar or different cover up names used: *Holle,* Hulda, *Hel(l),* Holla (die Waldfee/ the Forest fairy), Perchte/Perchta. All standing for: *Frigg(a)* *Mother Earth* Goddess of Life, Death & Rebirth *40.000 BC old* later, after the great wandering (north EU was covered by a glacier) and germanic went north exploring the "new" free land, they came back down with their new exp., and resulting with this, with new Gods,..northern Gods, well fitting to the "old" paths and so they took over the nothern gods. *Odins Wife* by the new path, *Frigg(a)* was now made Odins wife. She, besides all the things she does, *spins the strings* for the *3 norns* _(google it!)_ which then create the *"string of human fade"* Odin is said to be all seeing,... but *Frigg(a)* sees before Odin does,..bc she creates what will be and can be seen ;) *The church* forbit by death, to even say her name *Frigg(a),* soooo did the germanic people hide their highest germanic goddess in fairytales to protect her for coming generations and a path to ask for blessings. *Christmas* was *stolen* by the church, there never was a Fest nore date for christianity in winter times. The church hated all what was germanic, so they *stole* the germanic *Yul/Jul(e) Fest,* renamed it to Christmas and poured over all their symbolics. > Today, millions celebrate a germanic Fest, not a Chhristianity one ;) > The church even *tryed to change the germanic meaning* of Jul Fest but failed... at this one, to hide *their lies.* *Every* germanic *Long-House* had one *Elderbush* to pray/ask for blessings to *Frigg(a)* or when walking by, the "Elderbush/ Hollunderbusch" was greeted by the person(s). In Germany there is a Lake called *Titisee* (see = lake) Titi? *Titi* is old germanic, meaning *Kindchen* (lil child) *Holle/ Frigg(a)* gave germanic women child blessing, when bathing in a *forest lake.* There is in today Germany, *IN THE CENTER* of Germany,... in *Hessen* the: *Geo-Naturpark Frau-Holle-Land* And there is the so said *main lake* of the goddess to switch between this world and *Anderswelt/ Asgard* ... aaah see what i did here ;) Remember the +"Aple-Tree-garden" of the fairytale in Frau Holle/ Mother frost? > The churches *"forbiten (germanic) apple"* .. dun eat from it or you go *down* (to mother earth) to this *Hel(l)* or in german *"Ho(e)lle".* _Demonizing the germanic goddess_ ... *Rune-Binding* and the _backtracable_ parts of it,... keeps the paths open to see,..what is hidden or,.. tryed to *hide* away,.. > English people are lit. Brothers & Sisters of Germans & West-EU & Northn people,... we are all ONE. Splitted & devided by...the church. *Cheers*
@@aw3s0me12 erm... wow... If i could, i would give you 10 likes for this 2 comments. I really know a lot about the german language and the roots of a lot of words and sayings (like i feel to be the only one understanding the logic in german grammar) and about german history.. But THIS blows my mind. By the way, i am from Hess. I am born in Gelnhausen and live actually in Nidderau (near Hanau). If my history teacher had taught me German history like you did now, I might not have done so badly at school and would have been interested in history earlier. In my opinion knowing about the roots of the country where you live in, shows a lot of patriotism.
I was born in Leer, and im telling you..that tea ceremony is no joke..people take it dead serious around there as well as handshakes and the occasional 3 word smalltalk. Once you made a friend there you have a friend for life.
East Frisians fought for their tea against King Frederick the Great of Prussia as well as against Napoleon. Both tried to ban the import of tea (Frederick for fiscal reasons, Napoleon as part of his economic war against UK), and the Frisians became not only very sly and bold tea smugglers, but evolved also many ways of civil resistance.
Last year I finally made to the tea museum at Leer and also had a tea ceremony! Something I always wanted to do. It was lovely. One gets a nice lesson the tea culture and history. The museum itself is beautiful with all it’s details. Altogether I nice place together even on a hot summer’s day. They have air condition. 😉
Moin, as a north German I have to say some things: - Plattdeutsch is the native language of my father. When he speaks to his sibblings, it's still only in Plattdeutsch. Anyway I nerver learned it... unfortunately. I understand a lot but I can't speak it. Thats kind of sad. - About Labskaus. That dish indeed looks pretty disgusting. Actually it looks like somebody did womit on your plate. Anyway it tasts great. You definitely need to try it one day. - About the weather in the north... There is a poem from Mona Harry about the weather in the north. It really nails it. It's in German but probably you understand a lot if you use the automatic translation subtitle ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ZxSR1EosZo.html - About the Hanseatic cities, many of them still carry that in their name an when they do, you also find it on the license plate: Hansestadt Hamburg - HH Hansestadt Bremen - HB Hansestadt Lübeck - HL Hansestadt Rostock - HR and so on... But even more. All those cities have a red and whit flag, which were the hanseatic colos: Bremen node01.flagstat.net/media/image/3563r.jpg Hamburg assets.deutschlandfunk.de/FILE_bc14bb409a1c58b7a7d5f767cb8f2e76/1920x1080.jpg?t=1597609231005 - and yeah, I love black tea as well but I don't like the cream 😀
That´s interesting. I thought, that the colours of some other Hanseatic cities like Alfed/Leine or Hildesheim derived from the colours by the flag of Lower Saxony.... ... apparently, however, these derived from the colors of the Hanseatic League. Learned something again 🙂
Fun fact - for only 1500 - 2000 € you can order an original Strandkorb to your home. Mine will definitely accompany me to my new home in Kolari/Finland. English has its origins in the Low German language. Over time, it was mixed with French and Latin. Haha, without Germany, England would still be a small colony without its own language and culture, because this also came from Germany.
Hello from Finland! It is so rewarding to understand English and German. I would like to visit Berlin in autumn and see my neigbours and friends. I lived there quite a time, and my best foreign language is german! Nice video!
_English has its origins in the Low German language_ ... might sound petty, but this is not true: today's low german and today's english have the same ancestor. it's not that the low german is more original ... both are decendants from older languages.
You need more decency. England was conquered by the Normans, there lived celtic tribes on the island at that time. If the UK was never conquered by the Normans, which, by the way, came from Denmark and Scandinavia, not from now German territory, it probably would've developed just like Irland and still having population with celtic ancestors.
Basically all the southern Baltic coast is one huge beach. From VorPommern in Germany, through Pommerania in Poland and Koenigsberg in Russia to as far north as Latvia.
2:03 What she didn't say is, most of the time the wind comes from atlantic, therefore the east end of the gulfstream. This makes the wind warmer, but also send us rainy clounds. When the wind turns and comes from the east, it could be really cold at winter, as the wind is colder from the landmasses, but without clouds. /Klugschiß Edit: Therefore, when it rains, the temperature is medium. When it's cold, it's clear. The same applies when it is warm. When the last happens, you fell in love here. When the first happens, you remember we are London's little weather brother.
"Moin" is a typical greeting from dawn till dusk. It has various meanings. You can say 'hello' goodbye' 'how are you' 'how's your day' etc. just with one word... Moin moin is often seen as talkative or 'geschwätzig'
I live in Northwest Germany, close to The Netherlands, and we LOVE to vacation at the Northsea and/or on one of the Friesian Islands. The "Ostfriesentee" is very strong, that´s why you use cream and that huge lump of sugar: Kluntje or Kandis = rock sugar. We are also in the Plattdeutsch (low German) language area, but our vocab is quite different from the very North 😃
The predjudices against local languages and dialects have been a problem all over the country. We have the same problem here in Cologne (Köln) where we speak Kölsch. That is, by the way, the only language you can also drink. Our beer goes by the same name😅🍻
Hi There 0:55 Moin is the east frisian abbreviation from the dutch term ' Moje Dag' wich translates in kind of "Guten Tag" / "Wünsche einen guten Tag" (Good day / wish you a good day) and thats why you can use Moin throughout the entire day. By the way close the Emden you can find one of the most crankiest building in the world which would be the church in Suurhusen and if you ever want to see a cruise ship (3000 passengers+) driving backwards over a Autobahn (A31) then Papenburg is the location of your choice. And by the way Papenburg got 40km of canals going through the entire city. Theres a ship right in front of the city hall.
Moin from Schleswig-Holstein. Actually Südschleswig (South Schleswig), the north part is tn Denmark. I speak current five languages: German, Danish, English, Lower German and... about other people...😁
The hanse is such an interesting topic and perhaps the only trade union that has won a war against a kingdom (England, Denmark). If we let out the colonial wars, because it wasn't surprising that they have won with black powder against arrows.
We say that here in Hess too. Also at any time of the day. It is not SO common here, but if you notice that Hess is in cetral germany it is used here quite often and i think this is really cool :)
@@zoivac1048 Oh really? I had a friend from Hessen and he never told me about that! It is raaarely used where I live too (Ruhr area), but not enough that I thought to mention it, basically by people that really enjoy spending time in the north. Yes to the "any time of the day"!
6:26 I am not from Northern Germany, but I do love Platt so much. It's not a dialect, it is its own kind of language. I could listen to it all day, it sounds so cozy and nice. ☺ By the way, there is another protected language that is only spoken locally: Sorbian. Sorbian is spoken in some regions around Berlin (in the Spreewald) and in some regions in Saxony, especially around Bautzen. The Sorbian culture is rich, is cultivated intensively, and also taught in schools. Sorbian culture is not only recognized as a world cultural heritage but also as an official language in these federal states. In Bautzen in Saxony, for example, all street names are signposted in both German and Sorbian. Official documents from the authorities must be written in two languages, otherwise, the decisions of the authorities will be wrong and open to legal challenge. Sorbian holidays are also public holidays in these regions and people do not have to work on these days. The Sorbs have many religiously rooted customs that are known beyond national borders and attract tourists. In Saxony in the region around Bautzen, the Easter riding, a blessing ritual for the farmers, is very elaborately maintained every year and the painting technique for Sorbian Easter eggs is protected as a separate world cultural heritage. The Sorbs were originally a nomadic people and then settled in the fertile river and swamp landscapes along the Spree and Elbe, because the rivers were also trade routes. Many city names in Berlin-Brandenburg and Saxony are therefore of Sorbian origin. The capital of Saxony, Dresden, also goes back to Sorbian and means "forest dweller". The Spreewald as another large settlement area of the Sorbs is a river and swamp landscape. Therefore, almost all houses are on stilts and can only be reached by boat. These Sorbian boatmen in their colorful costumes are also a major tourist attraction. They deserve at least as much attention as the Bavarian costumes, which are mistaken for typical German clothing. (No one outside of Bavaria walks around in lederhosen and dirndls.) In Saxony, there is also a very long mining tradition for coal and ore and a rich culture that is unfortunately hardly known in the world. Christmas traditions are huge there, the handcrafting and in particular their Christmas wood handcrafting like Christmas candle pyramids, and Schwibbboegen/Schwippboegen are world-famous. There is even a "living Christmas" village (its name is Seiffen), where you can watch live handcrafting shows. You maybe also might want to watch some videos about the Sorbian culture as well as the ore mountains culture.
English originally was transferred from Saxon by human movements and nautic trade and expanded over the whole old Great Saxon - from Middle Europe to the British Islands. You still can see that route by the names of the German states: Saxony-Anhalt, Lower Saxony, and Anglo-Saxons. Saxon is now a German dialect, but it was originally High German and was spoken by the nobility and the higher classes. The High German known today is actually the former Hanoverian dialect. It found its spread through the spread of the Lutheran (Protestant) Bible. Luther's Protestant translation of the Bible was able to spread widely because the printing press was being invented at the time, and in this way, documents could be produced and distributed easily and in large numbers that had hitherto been painstakingly written by hand on rolls of paper. These were also in Latin, the language of scholars. So that as many people as possible could understand his Bible, Luther chose a dialect that many people could also understand: Hanoverian German. That was the dialect of the traveling people, the showmen, and theater actors. Plays were performed in Hanoverian dialect and so the dialect was well known and spoken throughout. With the Bible and the resulting development of the Protestant Church, the Hanoverian dialect also spread further and finally became the standard language, today's High German.
Funfact: The dish "Labskaus" is the reason for people from Liverpool UK are called "Scousers". Aaaaaaand: People in england are genetically more related to the ppl in northern germany than to ppl in Scotland or Wales. Blame the Saxons :-))
Southwestern Germany is the old undpoiled Germany that wasn't devastated by World War II bombing raids. Stuttgart is great and has a nice Zoological gardens and plenty od shopping centers. Mannheim has a great picturesque area where the Rhein and Neckar Rivers confluence. Great shopping plaza also. Great restsurants too. Tubingen is the hidden gem on the Neckar River. Small and laid back with the University students studying by the rivers edge and paddle boarding on the calm little river thst is so clesr you can see the shallow bottoms and fish. Its really picturesque and relazing wuth restaurants overlooking the river too.
you made a mistake with your audio setup. phasing all over the place. check if L and R are in sync. btw. good video to react to, but dont tell anyone, HH has tons of tourists already... ;)
Labskaus might look like thrown-up garbage, but it tastes actually pretty good. But it's the combination with beer and the pickled vegetables and fish that makes it truly great. Don't diss it just for the way it looks.
@@giobozzde once 'moin' is typically North German / Moin Moin is a talkative North German / moin moin moin is definitely a typical American exaggeration 😉
Did I miss clicking on the Weather channel? About “Moin”: It is something that means various things. That’s why simply watching a videos won’t be enough to convince me. We are “reduced” to fish or one or two other things and that is a disgrace!
"Moin" is a bit like "good morning", but make it short and think you say just "morning" and you can use it also the whole day, so yeah its also kinda like just "hi" or "hello"
DW as "Deutsche Welle" (German Wave) is our international broadcasting of germany. So from the state and we pay for it. Mostly really good content is made, sometimes unnecessarily expensive content is bought and because politics is involved, sometimes strange things are done. Please don't blame them too much, when they block you, they don't know what they are doing. PS: I'm from the real north.
i am also planning to move to nothern Germany, but because there are the least immigrants.. right now i live in a big City in NRW, which has the most immigrants and i just cant live like that anymore, one day we heard bombs and 2 weeks later we heard a gun. + i want to know and live my own Culture, not be forced to bend to the Culture from others.
They should abandon their racial hatred and stop detonating bombs, and weapons do not belong in the hands of mentally inferior racists. Unfortunately, a move to northern Germany will fail for them, because such racists are unpopular here, but there is still the other Germany, where such people like them are certainly welcome.
