North Germans are very out outgoing and friendly and talkative.. I wonder why people think north Germans are more quiet that southern Germans. But yes the most northerrn part of Germany is more like Scandianvia but, you cant tell me a Hambuger or Rostocker is quieter than a south German. 🤣
@@tomorrowneverdies567 Yeah its just crazy to me, because north germans are from the sea, we are traders we are used to forgeiners way more than the bavarians who are keep to themself most of the time. I guess Oktoberfest also plays a role 😁
A very good and insightful review, thank you. But I would have two comments: The Saxons really are extremely friendly (I have relatives there and have been there many times). Moin Moin comes from northern Germany (Bremen, East Frisia and Friesland only "Moin"). It actually means Morje (Low German for "good"); that's why people say Moin (or Morje) all day long here in Bremen and in Friesland (where my son lives), even late at night. As far as I know, the people of Hesse, NRW and so on took it home with them from their vacation on the coast. And one question: at 1:40 he says that the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm originated in the Black Forest (1:40). Can that be true? Were the Brothers Grimm ever in the Black Forest? Apart from Hanau, I only know of Kassel as their place of residence!
Isla Ernesto Thälmann AKA the DDR overseas territory war meines Erachtens mehr als Geschenk an die Honeckers gedacht. Die DDR und später die BR haben die Insel nie wirklich benasprucht... trotzdem lustig 😂
I live in Bremen, born in Niedersachsen, and i also have never heared of Choclate Beer ? 🤔 I can only imagine its a new thing that was maybe invented after 2000 or whatever.
It is true, Cuba gave some island to the DDR and then took it back again after DDR dissolved. I didn't really know about that either and learned it from a yt video like that
Thank you for pointing out that he sounds annoyed!!! I’ve been saying that and it drives me crazy! He acts like he isn’t actually interested in anything that he is taking about.
1:35 That's just his tone of voice when he tries to sum up things quickly ^^ He sounds like that in every video. 3:50 No, not at all. It's really just how he talks, especially for these filler videos. Concerning "weird" dialects, I would very much say Bavarian is the odd one out just for the way it fucks with vowels. I haven't really compared them directly but I feel like dialects are mostly differentiated by their consonants (or if you speak my local variety, Pott, the lack of them, lol). Then there is Bavaria, which not only changes most of the vowels but makes them diphthongs. What the hell is this!? English? :P Only person I had ever trouble understanding was a Bavarian with the broadest/thickest dialect imaginable via Discord or Teamspeak or sth. Had no idea Berlin actually wasn't poor anymore but it does rank in the upper half for the usual metrics used. Guess I learnt sth today. The richest state per capita (whether GDP or salary) is Hamburg though, overall it's NRW (by GDP).
Audi is Ingolstadt! How could you be so ingnorant? 😉 The Swabians wants to collect everything, not only money, but also car manufacturer. I never was dressed up at Walpurgisnacht and never saw people araound beeing dressed up, neither Bavaria, Bremen, Northrhein-Westphalia. Where have you seen people celebrating Walpurgisnacht?
The headquarter and seat of Audi is in Ingolstadt in Bavaria. However, around the time Volkswagen aquired Audi in the 1960ies they also aquired NSU (Motorenwerke Neckarsulm) which was merged with Audi later. After the successful NSU Prinz they developed the K70 limousine which finally received a VW emblem. After a couple of years the K70 was abandoned in favour of the Audi 100 limousine which was developed and offered in parallel. Another interesting car of NSU was the RO 80 the first car offered with an internal combustion engine according to the patent of Wankel ("rotating piston engine"). NSU was quite famous for motor bikes too. Neckarsulm is a town next to Heilbronn in Baden-Württemberg.
I think he seemed to not be into this for every state. But he did seem to get into it when he got into Berlin. I mean, it seems like it would be difficult to get excited about every German state.
He talks too fast, it is like he wants to get over with it. He talks like he does not even have time to breath. That is a pity, because it is an interesting video.
What is really annoying is your unrealistic expectation of pronunciation of any German word from somebody who is not a German and you trying to point our anything if it is not exactly said as a German would pronounce it ( probably should be even from that region to please you) Lets be so pedantic when we hear your English
@@TheGermanAmbassador OK it is funny for you and maybe ( only maybe) for other Germans. But as your audience ( watchers 😁) are really NOT only from Germany, we other Europeans cant really appreciate your standpoint as not many of us really speak a absolutely perfect German. So i got it a for you is always funny , but for us after first or second time it is annoying as we can very much envision ourselves in similar situation and it is not very pleasant to be always ridiculed even several times for the same thing.
