in austria we have maaany different dialects and arnold schwarzenegger has a steirer dialect ao i have for emaple an tirolian dialect du oide drexsau du elendige 😂
+John Smith HAHA good you notice, i've been told by many english speaking people that the austrian dialect (austro-bavarian) sounds like a german accent of german :)
+John Smith Funny, maybe it sounds like this to people which do not speak german. I think he has the typical barking wau-wau accent of the styrian people, with some drops of american accent here and there. Styria is a region in south east Austria, where people speak a colorful variation of south Bavarian dialect. Many Austrians (not the Styrians) always made fun about his anglo-styrian barking language implying that he is big, stupid and ignorant. He never gave a damn about clean language, and he did right.
He doesn’t speak English or German. He speaks Arnoldish. If someone didn’t speak a word of German and this was played to them they’d know exactly who it is. Iconic voice. And man to think about it.
dvdvideo10 Now Hitler was Austrian right? How would you rate his German. If Austrians are not German at all how come they don't have their own language?
Osvath97 Why do I even bother? Whatever. Austria is part of the German dialect continuum. The dialect borders are different to the national ones. People in Bavaria speak very similar to many people in Austria whereas Germans from the North Sea hardly have anything in common with the Bavarians. That's because Bavaria and Austria share the same dialect family (Bairisch). That has nothing to do with Standard German which is an artificial lingua franca within the dialect continuum. It was created by Austria, Bavaria and Upper Saxony and is heavily based on Upper Saxonian dialect (with some Bairisch to the mix). This Standard language was then learnt by the North Germans who had spoken a different language (Low German) before. Since then, they have spoken High German, a term which was soon identified with Standard German (however originally, it refers to the German language spoken in the Alps, in contrary to the German language spoken in the plains). Nowadays, each German speaking country has its own standard variety of the German language. Federal Standard German and Austrian Standard German don't differ in written form (only very, very tiny differencies) but sound a little bit different to each other when spoken. Most Austrians (the further east you go the more it is used in everyday life as well) speak that Standard lingua franca. An Austrian accent however, does not exist.
@103843691885025256951 I simply said that Arnold Schwarzenegger has a strong dialect, which he has. Then you said something which quite frankly was not comprehendable. Then someone tells me that Arnold Schwarzenegger is Austrian, therefore he has a strong dialect. I answer him that that is not neccesarily so, as I know of plenty of Austrians who speak Hochdeutsch. Then you write this long comment which I am quite frankly not sure what it is about. You explain the history behind different varietes of German and the development of Hochdeutsch, which is all well and good. But for some weird reason you seem frustrated at the start of the comment. Why I do not understand! And then your last sentence is about how an Austrian accent does not exist. What exactly you mean by this is unclear, as accent is specifically varieties in phonology in different dialects, sociolects, et cetera. The reason why I used accent instead of dialect when specifically referring to the way he speaks English is because only his phonology is apparent when speaking English, therefore only the accent of his dialect is noticed in English. I never said anything about an Austrian accent, I said that Arnold Schwarzenegger has an iconic accent when speaking English, which he does.
@@A-gs5yg He probably still speaks german on more occasions than we might think, even tho is more of an american by now :D AAANND he gets trained to not lose it. Accent training is commonplace in Hollywood. Either to lose/keep or gain one. Arnolds attitude towards his accent changed over the years. Early into acting he tried to remove it cause he got told it was a disadvantage, after Terminator (I assume) that changed. He accent was beside his physique one of his unique assets.
Whats so savage about it? It was true back then. Normal body building was like the average ripped guy at the studio. Arnold was one of a kind back then. It wasnt a joke, its a fact.
I know right? He shouldn't have been a movie star. His voice screams "I should be unloading trucks in Romania." But because he was a great man, he had the balls to come to America and make something great of himself.
That's because the algorythm makes sense. People is searching for Schwarzenegger because of Dark Fate coming out. When Keanu Reeves made a surprise appearance at E3, videos of The Matrix were suggested because everyone started searching for Keanu.
@@DanielAyyunless you’re off to southern Germany/Austria/Switzerland I wouldn’t watch southern videos, even native German speakers often struggle with southern dialects/accents 🙏🏻
Fun fact: Arnold wasn't allowed to do the German voice dub for the Terminator movie BECAUSE if his voice. The director, I believe, thought that it would be silly if a killer cyborg from the future would have a hillbilly voice.
Well, it's silly in English too because of his very strong foreign accent, but they cast him and he was great at the role. Not allowing him to do it in German was not a fair move.
@@gnuling296 I get it, but in German, he apparently sounds like a hillbilly. Whatever. Personally, I would think it'd be silly to have a killing machine, unstoppable, and then, have them say, in a VERY thick southern accent, "I need your clothes!"
@@epicwolf6486 Aaaaactually, as we learned, terminators are *infiltration units*. Kyle Reese: "The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy. But these are new, they look human. Sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot." So, having an accent would just be another layer of decpetion. Also, he was able to imitate other people's voices and language, so why shouldn't he not speak with accent then?
@@Puschit1 well, I guess the Germans do it differently. Because you'd need a voice actor for Sarah, one for Kyle, etc. My guess is that they didn't want Arnold to do the dub because he'd probably be the only one with that accent. And yeah, it is infiltration. In areas where people talk like that. But, I guess that we Americans don't question someone from Texas with their accent.
@@epicwolf6486 But where is the difference if it's a VERY thick southern accent or a VERY thick foreign accent? You may have some prejudices but you can't argue that the former is a problem if the latter isn't. Americans have just gotten used to Arnold starring in roles like this and that's why they accepted it.
@@Nordisk11 i dont understand your answer. But i think it is meant to be mean... Ehm, so i think i give a shit about this answer. Cause i am from the same country he is from. And i know better about this dialect than you ever will...
For those who don't know much about german, he's more of an Austrian speaking guy, Austrian and German are basically the same but Austrian have a different accent and that's what he's speaking
@@laldinpuii5437 "British English" doesn't even make sense considering the Welsh, English and Scottish accents are radically different from each other. I haven't included Northern Irish because it's arguably similar to Scots.
It's awesome to hear him speaking in his native language. His charisma comes through with it. You can actually hear him swearing in German during the scene in Kindergarten Cop when he's carrying a very sick Officer O' Hara (Pamela Reed) into the house.
i heard that when he once offered to dub his own films in german, he was told that his german accent made him sound like a farmer, and they refused to allow him to do the dubbing. shame, he's always come across as a nice guy; farmer or not. lol
Because this is no Austrian accent but a Bavarian dialect located in Austria. It sounds broken to Austrians because he's mixing this shit up with English.
@@tinkywinky8558 meni su isto znali to reć zapadni nijemci, al najčešće su mislili da sam nizozemac hahah (radio sam par godina dosta s nijemcima, a isto sam hrvat)
@@tonuka6257 Styrian, Tirol sounds identical to Swiss and so does the accent. Arnold has a rural Styrian accent and is speaking German with an accent. If he spoke his true dialect most Germans would have trouble understanding him.
He does, the accent is the equivalent of a west country farmer's accent in the UK or a southern drawl in the USA. He couldn't do the German dubbing for the German language version as The Terminator and all his other tough guy characters would have sounded utterly ludicrous to a German speaker.
+sanpt7777 yeah true because of the austrian dialect, the area he comes from has some features that are also present in english... also, by now of course he now has an english accent when talking german.
youtube be like 2007: nope 2008: nope 2009: nope 2010: nope 2011: nope 2012: nope 2013: nope 2014: nope 2015: nope 2016: nope 2017: nope 2018: nope 2019: NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR THE PEOPLE
English and German gramatic is very similar , and most common words are almost 80% percent identical. Why you so affraid "germanic" , germanic doesn't mean german.
I studied German for 3 years in school long time ago but I never learned much cause my mind was always somewhere else and all I wanted to do was to go home and play video games, but for some reason when Arnold speaks in german I actually understand at least 50% of what hes saying, when the other people speak I barely get anything lol. Being a Swede surely helps aswell
For everybody that wonders why his german sounds so "weird" it's because he has an austrian accent, which is comparable to the english language and very thick scottish or irish accents... it's basically the same language but sounds like it could be one on it's own
Actually the situation of the different german accents(German,Austrian,Swiss) is very comparable to English. English english, Scottish english, Irish english, Welsh english, US english, Canadian english, Australian english, New Zealand english and South African english all sound different from each other. I think the closest comparison to German german and Austrian german is English english and Scottish english.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch Arni. Einer meiner Top Filmhelden meiner Jugend bis heute. Und dann noch Gouverneur zu werden, ist schon der Hammer, was Arnie alles geschafft hat. Ich habe mir sein Buch gekauft, Total Recall. Dieses Buch ist jeden Cent wert! amzn.to/2CQ0eEr Arnie hat eine grossartige Einstellung! Auch seine 6 Regeln des Erfolgs sind der Wahnsinn. Darin sind sein Mindset und seine 6 Regeln des Erfolgs enthalten. Wer es nicht hat, sollte es sich unbedingt besorgen. Super finde ich vor allen Dingen, dass er seine Wurzeln zur österreichischen Heimat nicht abgebrochen hat und seinen Akzent behalten hat!😁👍 Auch heute noch ein super Typ, der Terminator, Predatorkiller, Kindergartencop, Geheimagent
The accent, the physique along with his strict discipline he used it to his advantage. Actor, bodybuilder, and statesman. Very impressive achievements.
Thanks so much for the upload! I always was curious to hear Ahnuld speaking German. I was cracking up in that first clip, hearing that "fantastisch" is one of his favorite words in German, just like in English. On the flipside, it was interesting in that middle clip to hear him speaking way faster in his native German than I've ever heard him speak in English (which I guess to some extent, you have to do in German, due to the higher number of syllables).
Arnold speaks German beautifully. It's a pleasure to listen to him speaking German. It's so mild and smooth. Another guy whose German pronunciation I enjoyed was Helmut Kohl.
I recall when he first started acting, and so many people put the knock on him, mocking his accent as "proof" that he could not act--yet some of us thought "well hey, is that the message WE should send? THAT if you have an accent, you can't be taken seriously? We the mono lingual capitol of the world--it is one thing to not be ashamed to speak only one language, or not be a little embarrassed--but to KNOCK someone who has a command of two or more languages--what arrogance.
We have Jackie Chan who has been making jokes about his accent and english thru his career but everybody like him. And there is Ken Jeong who mocks the accent for a career. Language and accent is really not a thing imo. They are the signature of those actors
That's correct. If you leave out the language component. And the history. And the country size. And the north south thing. But yeah, politically speaking it reminds me of the Canada-America relationship, too.
nope. germans and austrians are like americans and texans. the only difference is that to that moment (2017) austria isn't a part of germany while texas is a part of the US.
Many natives in the German-speaking realm actually speak standard German almost as a foreign language. I have noticed this among Swiss, Swabians, Austrians, and others. For many years, dialect was looked down upon and many Germans now only speak standard German, but they in Southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland are proud of their regional dialects and use them often in everyday stuff.
+GameleErik100 - I'm guessing you don't speak multiple languages nor do you hang out with people who speak multiple languages because practically every multi-lingual speaker combines languages in their rhetoric.
I speak 3 languages and yeah, sometimes I can't find the word in my native language, so I'll say it in English or French, just because I either forgot, can't recall it, it's on the tip of my tongue or I never knew the word because I never talked about that topic in my native language.
I can speak English and Spanish. When I use my mother tonge (Spanish) sometimes it s difficult to try to form phrases because in English is all more simple and direct. I use a lot of expression in English and words when I speaking to my family. However in English I don't use Spanish words at all. It just no practical.
I've got a friend here in Germany and he says when he talks to his uncle in Canada on the phone in german language his uncle always speaks with an english accent because his uncle is living in Canada for more than 20 years now
And how do you know that? Do you live with him everyday to know whether he can speak his native tongue or not? Language isn't something that you forget, language the you learned in childhood
@@chunkylilpeanut Hardly doubt that is the case, maybe something else played a role in that. A language is not something you simply forget, not when it is your mother tongue. If you have any evidence behind this statement, I would love to read it, because it would be very interesting.
0:59 Absolut wahr. Du bist einzigartig Arni ❤❤❤ Bearbeitet: Leider muss ich an der Stelle sagen, ich hab jetzt mehr über Arni erfahren. So toll war er auch nicht. Schade wie er mit Mike Mentzer umgegangen ist und dass er die Jürie bezahlt hat.
Apparently Arnie wanted to do a German dub of Terminator but the German distributors said his accent was too 'country' for general audiences and that the robot shouldn't sound like a farmer.
No - not "country" but austrian. His austrian accent is very noticable. Although he is from a region in Austria that is mostly rural in Germany most people would only notice an austrian accent and thats it.
our language is austrian german; there exist a lot of different dialects here. the dialects from upper-&lower austria, salzburg(~south-bavarian) and styria are nearly the same. but the austrian language is never as strict and hard as the german pronounciation! arnold s the best!!! greets from austria!!!
