J.D. German is some stupid pussies. Or should I say Germanistan? Poor Germans. I am proud Lithuanian. Here are everyone from Lithuania and not foreigners. Lithuanians will show you Germans how to be successful.
Any Body oh yeah with your 2.8 million people who lives there you will show germany what success is ;) dude my neighbour city has more population than your country... why is german for pussies?! did u ever tried to learn german?!
Grünzeug is usually everything from the garden to put into the bio trash or the compost. It’s usually not used for foliage that’s still attached to live plants but cut off or dead.
"Kopfkino" is actually mostly used when someone mentions something disgusting and you just instantly see it in your head. So, Germans around you might start screaming: "Nooooo! Kopfkino!" in that case.
I'm german and that was probably the funniest video I've ever watched, the thing is as a german you dont realise these funny things because its normal but if you think about it you cant stop laughing xD
well "kummer-speck" is not "grief-bacon" (unless you call your love-handles "bacon") kummerspeck is nothing you eat, but weight you gain, if you eat too much because you are sad.
shikastachiron true. I guess the word you used in the video as 'Kummerspeck' can be replaced by 'Frustessen' that's the food you eat when ur frustrated, stressed or sad
German learner here and my German friend told me; "If you can't think of the noun, just remember zeug." It's more helpful than it sounds in times of crisis.
Beides Absolut richtig! Zeug und Dingens sind toll! Und wenn sie das auch alles nicht einfällt: sag einfach Baum. Wasisz das? Baum. Wie geht’s dir? Baum. Baum ist die Antwort auf alles
Max Casper it is pronounced differently though. If you mean it as in "run somebody over" you pronounced the "um" more, or you add a "ge" - umgefahren. As in: Du hast die Katze umgefahren! (You ran the cat over) 😶😂 Now that I write this it seems to be more complicated than it usually is in Everyday life. 😀
And you seperate it differently :D Like, "I run somebody over" is "Ich fahre jemanden um" and the German for "I drive around something" is "Ich umfahre etwas" This language must be really hard to learn, my respect to all who learn it!
@@spiyider3190 Thats not how it works. Dutch, German and English are all Germanic languages, so they tend to be similar (more obvious when you look at British instead of American), French is not even in the same language group. We have some "borrow words" from German, French and English (mostly English now because we copied a lot of new words, like computer related stuff). But we have our own words&language we don't just use 3 different ones combined.
As a german, currently in Canada for 5 months, I noticed earlier today how much i love the german word "muskelkater" (sore muscels after doing too much sport) which is basically a "muscle hangover"
Timmy (9) I am a German currently spending a year in the UK and this is so true. I always say muscle hangover now. It isn't a word in English but it's so accurate
Oh god wow.. German here and never thought of the word Kater meaning Hangover. Just thought it's Muscle Cat (which is cute too :p). BUT OMG 20 Years of my life and only now I find out about this :D
@@somerandommen Wanderlust was used in the 19. century in Germany and Swiss. And it was used in songs and these songs crossed the border. And it was then first used in English 1902.
Schlagzeug = Hit thing = drum Spielzeug = Play thing = toy The verb for making a cow sound? Muhen How the crowd expresses that they don’t like something? Buhen Deutsch ist eine schöne Sprache...
Another great one is „ Nervensäge“ The word literally translates to being a hacksaw on your nerves. Beautiful isn’t it? It describes a person who is constantly teasing you and is annoying. A pain in the neck, basically.
Hey, i'm from germany and its very fascinating to hear how amused you actually are about words we often use without thinking about them. And after all they sound completely normal to us but if you really think about them they are pretty funny also for us. By the way, great video. Keep going😂😂
Als deutscher Muttersprachler denkt man eigentlich nie weiter über diese Wörter nach... Und du hast etwas vergessen: Deutsch kann ziemlich verwirrend sein. Zum Beispiel haben wir für "friend" & "boyfriend" das gleiche Wort: "Freund". ("Friend" & "girlfriend" = "Freundin") Man weiß also nie genau, ob romantisch oder rein platonisch.
@icetox z ich glaube, dass du hier erst das Problem gemacht hast. Immerhin gab es einige, die mir bei der Problematik zustimmen. Aber vielleicht hast du nicht so einen großen Freundeskreis, dass du es immer wieder erklären musst.
One of my personal favorite words in the region, that im living in is: Verschlimmbessern.... When someone tries to fix something but makes it worse, by doing so... Kaputtreparieren is also a synonym for that ^^
"Kopfkino" is more like when a video plays in your head because someone told you about something you didn't want to imagine and you can't stop thinking about it.
Yep or when you're imagining a situation in your head funnier than it is. Also used as "I really don't want to share what was going on in my head when I just laughed": "why did you just laugh?" - "Kopfkino..."
1. Wanderlust is a german word too, love how you used a german word to explain another, lesser known german word 2. My favourite german expression is "grinzen wie ein Honigkuchenpferd" = grinning like a honey-cake-horse (it's basically the same as grinning from ear to ear or a Cheshire cat smile) I think it's adorable 💕
Ich mein es ist vielleicht nicht die beste Idee das Leuten beizubringen, die kein deutsch können und das dann möglicherweise genau so benutzen wie demonstriert...
The thing is: both words used in Wanderlust exist in the english language with a very similar meaning, too. to wander means the exact same thing as wandern and lust= (sexuelle) Lust
as a german i’m very amused that someone would learn this language voluntarily! seriously it’s super difficult if you don’t grow up learning all the grammar automatically but i’m sure you can do it i’m vert proud of you yay!
My mom was the first generation in our family to not speak it and none of the schools here offer it. It's such a beautiful language (I think) trying to learn it on my own is not easy though.
And most Germans themselves don't even know the grammar, spelling and pronounciation of their own languague... Am still wondering, why and when it did happen that parents wouldn't teach their children how to speak anymore so that they forgot words or mess up every single sentence... Fun Fact: I was gonna write "Sad..." but then "FAKE NEWS !!!" popped up in my head and now I'm laughing out loud ;'D
I'm glad you appreciate our language lego! "Kummerspeck" is actually the weight you gain when you are sad for a long time. "Speck" may mean "Bacon" in German, but we also use it for body fat.
@LoLoahuu @@thegaytay4327 In Dutch it is the same as German, and I wondered a couple times why it was not socks. I think it is because the used to be made out of stronger materials such as leather, and we also have waterproof gloves (better when doing a snowball fight or wintersports).
That moment when you don't know if Evan, master of puns, is fooling innocent Americans into calling girls Fotze and getting punched in the teeth or if he himself was tricked.
I don't think it sound that ridiculous I mean whats the problem with putting words together to describe something I mean that's pretty practical you know ?
It is not ridiculous, it's awesome! I'm not a native but my everyday life is in german (living here, hi!) and i'm "begeistert" about the german language. Sometimes so precise, sometimes so obvious! "Dingsbums", "Zeug"...c'mon! Lovely language!
Oli is awkward Du kannst Wörter nicht einfach wortwörtlich übersetzen. Wie würdest du poppycock übersetzen? Mohnschwanz?/You can't just translate words literally. How would you translate poppycock? Mohnschwanz?
well Zeug is always plural it means things or stuff it can never mean just one thing so these are just different words with different meanings not synonyms (sorry for not knowing hoe synonim is spelled)
It is even more like this in the North Korean dialect. Ice-cream in North Korean is "ice cookie," and juice is "sweet fruit water," where as in South Korean, the words for ice-cream and juice derive from the English word ice-cream and juice.
Making multi cultured jokes is easily one of the best parts of learning a new language. I'm German, and many young people here speak English rather well - which evolved it's own type of humour. It ranges from including English words, jokes and memes into our language, to speaking English with a deliberately *deep* German accent (many Germans are ashamed of their accent when speaking English, so it's our way to poke fun at ourselves).
The "Fotze" part is definetely right! Just say this to any German/ Austrian/ Swiss woman and they will immediately fall for you. :) Edit: Oh my, thanks for the heart and all the likes :O
@@HexenkoeniginVonAngmar I mean what is called the "tooth pulp" in English, which I always thought sounds horrible because to me this emphasizes somehow that it is extremely sensitive to pain.
Juna Ich hab ja auch gesagt *fast*. Und das war ja auch nur Ironische gemeint. Also ich wusste was du meinst aber ich fand halt die “Fotzen“-stelle(XD) halt einfach Sau-lustig^^. Und wollte das (zwar hier nicht wirklich passend rüber gebracht) halt einfach (als ich deinen Kommentar gesehen habe) mit jemandem teilen. :) Ich wollte nicht als Besserwisser rüber kommen,sry. Ich hoffe du verstehst was ich meine. LG Spooky
Hoppala, Ich meinte eigentlich -(das)“Ironisch“(gemeinte) *nicht,* -(die)“Ironische“(Art) (Autokorekt.) Und ich denke mal vom Blick auf dein Profil-Bild das du das als Bayrin/Bayrer am schnellsten bemerkt/erkannt hast. ^^ (Btw. Das in der Klammer sind nur Bsp.-le)
Me: I know zero German words Evan: You may have heard this word if you've read the second John Green book, An Abundance of Katherines Me: I know one (1) German word
Actually, you might know a lot more German words than you think because they were adopted to the English language. Let me give you some examples: Rucksack, Zeitgeist, Weltschmerz, Kindergarten, schleppen, Blitzkrieg, Doppelgänger, Angst, Dreck, Wunderkind, Gestalt, kaputt... There are more but I can't remember all of them.
Toastbrot XD Ich liebe das auch 😂 meine Oma hat mir das beigebracht, weil ich immer nach dem Eierknackdingens gefragt habe, und sie wollte es mir erst geben, wenn ich es richtig sagen konnte 😂
I find that so ironic! My mother tongue is Danish and we use 'gift' for poison as well. In addition to that, to be 'gift' means to be married in Danish, which just adds to the fun if you ask me.
rubby mc rub rub a germam RU-vidr say that Milk is poison (Milch ist Gift) that was so pobulary last days, that it was 1st place in the Twitter trends :D and a lot RU-vidr posting Video about it... Its just overhyped and therefore everyone made jokes about it :,D.
You don’t have to say ‘Fernweh’ because ‘wanderlust’ is german too And ‘kopfkino’ is not just if you think about something, it’s more like a visual. Like when someone says something weird or perverted and you have to think about it even if you don’t want to or it’s disgusting or something like that, you have a kopfkino 😅
MaxPower if we're gonna get pedantic, then Evan first described Fernweh as "a kind of Wanderlust" and I merely commented on that because they're, as you say, not the same thing.
And both aren't even discribing the same thing You gain Fernweh if you want sickly to travel to another place and see new things. Wanderlust you have if you're taking a long long walk
@@astrisperspecto4130 Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher dass sich wanderlust nicht nur auf Lust zum wandern sondern im übertragenden Sinne durchaus auch die Lust zum Reisen bedeuten kann.
"What a cute pet you have!" "Don't you mean my house animal?" Pet = Haustier (house animal) Canvas = Leinwand (linen wall) Drums = Schlagzeug (punch stuff) Wardrobe = Kleiderschrank (clothes cabinet) Tools = Werkzeug (crafting stuff)
MaxPower No it's not the same. Fernweh doesn't have literal translation to english but if it had it'd probably be something like 'longing for far away places'. And you can have a desire to visit let's say Iceland, or Los Angeles, or Cuba or whatever. And you will have fernweh. But when wanting to visit these places you can to not have desire to travel altogether like travel for traveling's sake, so you won't have wanderlust.
those individual words may be English and ultimately explain the word as a whole, but the word Wanderlust and its meaning originates from the German language, also according to its etymology
6:55 Torschlusspanik: "Tor" shouldn't mean "goal", it should be "Tor" for "gate". "Torschluss" shall mean a gate that is closed, comparable to your life ending
Most people cannot even spell or pronounce words from their own language so pretty obviosu they cannot do words from different languages lol. the worst come from the US most of them cannot even spell basic words correctly.
Kinda cute how innocent u see the word Kopfkino because it usually referrs to the situation when you cant stop picturing something sexual in your mind like something very uncomfortable that you don’t actually want to think of. 😂
it is true though that the kopfkino usually happens whenever you do the deed and, well, have to resort to a more ideal idea than reality in order to get it finished. OR the opposite. in some occasions the context is non-sexual, but these are the exception to the rule....
I agree. If you are writing something official, or talk in public in front of an audience or something like that, "brustwartze" is prefered, because "nippel" sounds unprofessional. It's a word that is used in everyday speech, but not if you are writing an essay or talk about medical stuff i think xD
kik ki why would you ever want to say "nipple" in from of an audience or in a writing piece tho. (I get your point, i just wanted to make a stupid comment)
Thank you for recommending duolingo in one of your videos. I was a bit sceptical at first but it really helps me with learning. So thank you! Also I'm german and I had no idea how man adjective endings there are. Damn that's impressive. XD
