Hello. Only make English versions of your videos because German versions or at least the one you consider German has no place. It’s shameful to put out such a bad draft. You've climbed a descending degree in this language and it doesn't get better. Do you really think you are improving in German? Frankly, without wanting to hurt you, it just gets worse and worse. No, really, the A2.1 degree would be at best and again, we are talking about oral because in writing, it must be more serious. It’s not bad to say that to you because I am well aware that my English is not perfect, but at least I admit it. As far as you are concerned, you need to give yourself some illusions. But I can see the reaction of the other Germans who must find it pathetic. In addition, your gestures behind a microphone, your smile, your effects, the gestures of a 5-year-old child, everything is artificial. What good is it for you waving and shouting in front of a microphone. Take real lessons in pronunciation, grammar and construction of German syntax before you take the video in German. We don’t believe for a moment that you are sincere. As if you are making fun of us as a German, to caricature us, there is only one step. In short, have a more professional attitude because bragging about expressing everything you want to say in German with a lexicon of about 300 words (and again, I remain generous not to offend you), it is called a lie. , a deception. Of course, with videos, you can edit them (cuts, shifts, arrangement, etc.), to give the appearance, but in fact the bar is too high and that makes you unhappy. It is not enough to be in a country to speak the language fluently (even if this can help), you have to work on the essentials and also write (complement the oral). Far too little effectiveness for you for a necessarily very lean result. As for the comments of the aficionados, go your way, I give my opinion only with the authors of videos. In all kindness.

Coffee and cake is more a snack in the afternoon than a dessert. My childrens birthday partys in the seventies began mostly at 3:00.

The thing is: Cake isn't considered a "dessert" food in Germany. At least not mainly or strictly. It stands in it's own. It's cake. It's a treat, it's a "Süßspeise", but it's its own thing for its own occasion.
@FiddlingJoker
@FiddlingJoker 2 года назад
I know this video is mainly about cake, but I can't find your other video where you talked about Germans not wishing each other a happy birthday before their actual birthday. I think one reason for this difference from the US is where the focus of the sentiment lies, and this difference in focus is expressed in the words used in the two phrases: In English you wish some a happy birthday, so you are expressing your wish/hope that their birthday will be a happy day for them. So it makes more sense to express that wish before the actual date. In German, the phrase is "Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag" oder "Alles Gute zum Geburtstag". The "zum" in this case means "on the occasion of" - so what we're saying is that "On the occasion of your birthday, I wish you luck/happiness". The focus is not on the day of the birthday itself, but rather on the coming year. So what we're thinking when we say "Herzlichen Glückwunsch" or "Alles Gute" is something like: "Now that you have completed another year of your life, I wish you all the best for the next year of your life." Sometimes the phrase (on birthday cards and such) is actually "Alles Gute fürs nächste Jahr" or something similar. Maybe think of it like New Years' Eve. If you said "Happy New Year's" to someone before midnight on New Year's Eve, that would feel strange, right? I think it's the same with birthdays for us Germans.

Have to agree with several others here. (I am German.) Cake and Nachtisch (dessert) are two different things. If you asked me to name all the deserts (i.e. sweet things you eat after a savory meal) I could think of, I would not have included cake. Maybe, after running out of ideas, I would have added something like a fruit tartlet or something, but actual cake? No. Cake is much to heavy to have after a full meal. It's its own meal.

(I don't talk about huge, fancy cakes, because, well, I never really had those as a child, but you're everyday simple cakes) Only two weeks ago I had sweet waffles with cream, choclate chips and fruit as lunch with my sister. Because we felt like it. So what?

I don't even think us Germans define cake as a "desert", at least not a typical one. Whether you're at a restaurant or at home eating more than one course, a typical desert would be mousse au chocolat, tiramisu, a fruit salad, ice-cream, apple strudel, etc. Not cake though. It wouldn't be totally strange to have cake for desert, but just not something Germans would probably expect as a desert. I also prefer cake in the afternoon. Pieces of cake you get at German bakeries are often quite large. I wouldn't be able to eat a regular-sized dinner and then a piece of cake for desert. It's much more comfortable to eat the cake in the afternoon when your belly isn't already full. As for having candles on your birthday cake: This is something I associate with children's birthday parties. Up to the age of 10 I would have birthday cakes with as many candles as I was years old. After that the candle business would just get out of hand, so you don't do it any more. Sometimes, as an adult, you do get a birthday cake (often baked by one of your loved ones), but then they typically put just one candle on it, instead of say 30.
@fonkbadonk2957
@fonkbadonk2957 3 года назад
I would say that birthday cakes are definitely normal and quite common (way more so for kids' bdays) here, but in no way are they a set in stone must-have requirement. The candles however - yeah. After your teens, the cakes would become rather over encumbered with them, and for some cakes they are hard to... "mount" properly. Thus many go for a single large candle in a proper stand, maybe next to a nice bouket of flowers, and the cake on its own. For when to have cake: I never really though of cake as a desert. WAY too heavy for that imho. To me it really is a stand-alone dish, and the sfternoon spot is quite fitting for it. What probably plays into this difference here is that in the US, dinner in the evening is the main "heavy" meal, while in Germany it usually is lunch. In the evening, you'd often just have a slice of bread with cheese or wurst, maybe a salad or even just a cup of yoghurt. Basically just enough to get you through to bedtime without getting proper hungry, but not so much that you will have to sleep on a full belly. As such, Kaffee und Kuchen in the afternoon could maybe be seen as a "late desert" for lunch.
@bjoern0975

In Germany, cake is not considered a dessert. It is a "süße Backware" - sweet baked good - which is supposed to be had along with coffee or tea in the afternoon. Usually, when we have guests or are invited over to family or friends, we'll meet at "coffee time" in the afternoon and start off with some cake or other baked goods (such as waffles - which are not a breakfast food here). And later, in the evening, there is going to be dinner and after that dessert - in addition to the cake from the afternoon. But dessert is never cake. It's usually ice cream, some kind of pudding, or other creamy specialties - like "Herrencreme" or Italian "tiramisu". Well, occasionally there may be a tiny piece of cake (Küchlein) along a scoop of ice cream. But that is a more recent trend, copied I think from U.S. style desserts.

No, "die Vesper" is not a desert to the lunch, it is an own meal. That's why it is timed in the middle between lunch and dinner. Similar to brunch. Nutrition experts tell you to better have smaller meals more often, so rather 5 than 3 per day. And being stuffed from a hearty lunch, you may not have any more room for a cake anyway...

Hmm, interesting about the birthday cake differences. In the Netherlands, usually cake gets served. But it's common that when a guest arrives they get offered cake with their first drink. Doesn't matter if they arrive early or late. The whole thing with the birthday candles and singing a birthday song is usually only done with children and usually gets timed so at least the grandparents are there to witness, but yeah usually very early in the party. After becoming a teenager, the birthday candles thing disappears and it's more an adult party. Unless your friends think otherwise ;). At least that's my experience.

In my family, we always eat birthday cake. When I still lived with my parents, they would usually prepare the cake on the evening before my birthday and then they would "present" it to me in the morning, before everyone had to go to work or to school. I never liked classical "birthday parties", so we would instead invite my grandparents for a sunday "coffee and cake" (you know, with porcelain dishes and a special tablecloth) - there would be of course even more cake. :D But that's not surprising, in Saxony, this "coffee and cake" thing is an essential part of our culture.
@Seegalgalguntijak

This isn't fully true! We had family birthday parties, when someone had their "round birthday", like one of the grandparents turning 80 (long time ago), they usually rented a room in the local event location (i.e. a restaurant or town hall with a connected restaurant for caterin), and it was usually during the evening, so it started at around 5-6pm, then there was dinner at maybe 7 or 8, and it went on until later in the evening, and cake was served around 10 or 11 pm before everybody left. With smaller family parties, they usually start around 2pm and then there's cake & coffee at around 4pm, with the party coming to a close just after dinner was finished at maybe 8-9pm.

In reghards of birthday candles on a cake - this is done typically something for children's birthday parties and rarely on an adult birthday party.

For me, eating cake is not linked to a meal, and mostly an afternoon thing. I would not even group cake with dessert at all - never in my life had cake directly after lunch or dinner, only other desserts like ice, pudding, fruits - eating cake was always its own thing. And cake can replace a normal meal, I don't think it unusual to have the leftover cake from yesterday as a lunch the next day - and then something cooked only at dinner time.

Cake in the afternoon or the evening doesn't make much difference to me. Cake is cake.

4:42 I think I just figured out why I never can remember when it is lunch and when it is dinner. Even if we don't do Kaffee und Kuchen, we eat snacks called Nachtisch. Which are usually served after you're done with lunch, but in the US that happens after dinner. So, reading English lecture my mind was placing dinner in the middle of the day. Depends on the region we eat Kaffee und Kuchen, or Nachtisch, or both. So you might still chewing your lunch, and might get served cake (or another sweet snack) only to get cake again a few hours later as a meal before dinner. Incidentally, even if we have a saying that goes otherwise*, lunch is the biggest meal of the day, while dinner usually is smaller. That reflects in the name as well Abendbrot (alternative name to Abendessen). Meals in Germany in the Order from Morning to evening (might differ on region): Frühstück, Brunch*², Brotzeit*², Mittagessen (+ Nachtisch), Kaffee und Kuchen, Abendessen/-brot. After listing that: Now I'm surprised the Germans aren't a lot fatter than they are. *=Man soll frühstücken wie ein König, mittagessen wie ein Edelmann und abendessen wie ein Bettler. *²=Not actually native to the region I live in, nor the one I grew up in.

No, the expression is, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." The point you're missing here is that "have" is used in the sense of "keep." If you eat your cake, you can't keep it around as well. The point is that Americans make a big deal out of decorating birthday cakes. First you enjoy looking at the cake, then you enjoy eating it--but once you've eaten it, you can no longer enjoy looking at it because it's gone. But yes, the import of the phrase is to ask for something impossible.

"You _may_ not be able to have your cake and eat it _too-"_ -is such an odd phrase. I mean how impolite is it to eat someone _else's_ cake? 🤷 When _I_ gain possession of a piece of cake, it's not so I can hang onto it for someone _else_ to eat. That makes _no_ sense.

You're missing the point of the expression. It has nothing to do with another person being involved. The point is that birthday cakes are made to look beautiful, and so people enjoy looking at them. However, they're also made to be eaten. Once you enjoy eating the cake, you can no longer enjoy looking at it because it has perished with the using.

There is only one solution: take away his German passport and give him an american one. Then send him away and marry me! 😊

Birthday candles we mostly only do for kids I think. Basically until the number of candles get to many to handle - around 10 for me :D Honestly, I eat cake at every time of the day :'D I mean the afternoon still feels like the right time but I will also swap ANY meal for cake if you let me XD And at a party I also start with dessert/cake :'D If there is no form of cake at a birthday party I am also very disappointed :( But I just really love cake of all sorts and shapes. So #JustGiveMeCake

I remember giving my father a card for his 60th birthday which read, "We could put candles on your birthday cake--but it would be easier to just set fire to the lawn!"

#CakeInTheAfternoon Actually any time but the evening. There is the believe, that if you eat too heavy in the evening, it gives you nightmares. Well, heartburn is more likely, tho. Also since a few decades now I've broken out of the whole fixed meal scheme, and since a few years I have to be careful what I eat when and how much. Aging isn't fun.
