That's fair not only are they pronounced quite similar but especially when written f and t can look the same depending on who wrote
But
Gehe jetzt schlafen, es ist spät, gute Nacht 
Es ist nu frueher Mitternacht. Tschuss 👋
@harsh tulip I don't want to go deeper into Japanese language elsewhere, because that should be about German, but if you want to, I could go into details here (...or elsewhere) >_>
I was only curious bc some American student told me how easy it was as a language to learn but did not go deeper in details. I think I would lack the motivation to learn it without the prospect to ever go there 🤷♂️
it is "easy" compared to German tbh, like, imagine everything that are pronouns, cases, and tenses is just all context (btw, I just described Chinese)
its so easy but...at the same time, kinda a nightmare 😄
How can I join a voice call?
@sinful sparrow, please read the Roles section in #getting-started for info on how to join VC and more.
I only know one thing in Chinese and can only write it in German spelling:
Nie hau 😜
hau
wieso ist "hau" mit einem Fragezeichen versehen? x.x
hauen ist doch ein normales Verb!
Ob es klein geschieben werden muss?
Okay also:
Nie hau 🙇♂️
Und 'hau' ist dann die 'Antwort'?🤔
Ich haute dich halt, ey 😄
Boah, so brutal! Klopp!
prügel
Lol, ich glaub wenn wir weiter schreiben wollen, müssen wir nach #german-only , aber für mich passt das schon, ohne zu wechseln... 🫡
haha 😄
also hier zu sein, sagt mir: we can always go English to explicate
that being said, I'm currently also listening to a playlist made by my best friend who tries to teach me what is the big rap classics tunes, and I will probably go to sleep after that playlist ends xD
yeah, but wouldn't be a bit far of GLAD to discuss German 'combat' verbs? 🤔 🫣
aufs MAWL?
weiß nicht
halt die Gosch!
wirschte Dialekt?
(ka wie man Dialekt in meinem Blatt überhaupt schreiben sollte >>)
Oh da gibts ein paar aus denen ich wählen könnte XD
Ja, sorry, da bleibe ich lieber neutral xD
Ich hab halt 30 Jahre Reisen durch die ganze Republik hinter mir, da hört man ne Menge...
Und fast doppelt so viele Jahre Verwandtschaft in diversen Bundesländern ...
Die Ehre (<- Verwandtschaft) und das "Vergnügen" (< Reisen) hab ich nicht XD
(man beachte, wo ich " " setzte)
Hamburg, Münsterland, RLP, Saarland, BaWü, Bayern (&Franken) für die Verwandtschaft und die "Reisen" waren berufsbedingt.
Bayern ist schon schlimm ;D
Nicht, wenn da Verwandte wohnen XD und zum Glück (und auch Pech) sind seit Corona die Reisen fast komplett weggefallen.
Es ist für mich halt weit und dann ist das auch noch Söderland, brrr 😄
Jetzt erstmal Unmut, weil ich vllt. nach Leipzig muss (warte hier aber auf die Bestätigung, dass dem so sein solle)
Naja, und vorher waren es andere 'Monarchen' FJ Strauss z.B.
Oh, dann lernste Seggsch XD
Ich bin ein wenig (un)glücklich, dass mich sowas früher nicht interessierte (und es wäre besser, da man daran ja eh nichts ändern kann - weswegen man eh nur genervt ist)
Nee, nur für ne Tagung 😄
also keine Zeit zum Lernen.
Ich bin über "Lernen" eh hinaus
Aber Leipzsch is ne nette Stadt, auch wenn einige Ecken noch irgendwie unfertig aussehen.
Ich warte auf die Mail, die besagt: "cool, kommste mal"
sollte wohl bis Monatsende erfolgen
Wir hatten da ein Tagungszentrum... insofern hatte ich etliche Möglichkeiten, die Stadt kennenzulernen.
Hab die Bewerbung btw am Tag der Deadline um 23:59 abgeschickt 😄
also kurz vor Hosenknopf! 😜
was setzten die die Deadline auch exakt auf meinen Geburtstag und den wöchentlichen Umtrunk meines Profs? 😄
^ (so ein guter Satz btw fürs Deutsch B1+)
Naja, 23:59 ist DEFINITIV vor der Deadline des nächsten Tages 👍
Ich war ja auch Organisator für die vorherige Veranstaltung (aber darum bin ich auch genervt, denn ich sorgte für eine Antwort innerhalb von 24h)
Also hat der Prof freundlicherweise auch deinen Geburtstagsumtrunk spendiert 👍 👏 🥳 !!!
Nee, das war Zufall, aber dieser Prof zahlte tatsächlich 😄
in welcher Richtung hast du dich denn als Historiker spezialisiert? (meine EX war im Mittelalter und davor spezialisiert: das große Schisma... und hat sich dann einen Rechtsgelehrten aus der Zeit rausgesucht)....
@fickle pagoda
Deswegen bestes Land
Grüße aus Chems
Das war schon richtig so! 🤷
Nicht wirklich 😉
Gosche noch nie gehört. Nur Gusche
achso
Da müsste es eher
Hoit di Goschn
sein 🤔
ist das nicht bayerisch???🥹
DAS hier schon!
in Bayerisch sagt man eher 'Hoid dei Fotzn/Bappn'
ganzes leben in bayern gewohnt und immer nur "hoid di goschn" oder so gehört
aber tuff
wusst ich nicht
Ich glaube da gibt es große regionale Unterschiede 🤔
Ich lebe auch in Bayern und hab eher selten Goschn oder Gusche gehört. Hab das eher bei meinen Großeltern im Osten gehört
achso
muss dazu aber auch sagen das war nie richtiger bayerisch, sondern eher freunde die bayersich nach machen

Hallo meine Brüder und Schwestern
Hallo, Ich möchte in Osterreich oder in Deutschlad physik studieren auf Deutsch, haben sie eine typps fur mich? (sorry for grammatical errors, feel free to correct me also I dont have german keyboard thats why there are no umlauts in some words since I was lazy to copy them)

Hi
you mean you want help with the preposition "auf"?
Hey
Hello,I read one of Dostoyevsky
🙄
enthalten: to contain, consist of. Ah, makes sense.
sich enthalten: to abstain from, to not do.
....
K thx German.
<@&305455824174710787> ?
Guys what are you using to learn german ATM?
I'll like to know about this as well
hmm.. i mostly watch on jap dub and eng sub
no idea bro
i use anki (flashcards app), join practice vc rooms in this server to practice speaking, and I watch german shows on Netflix (Dark), and listen to German podcasts
@verbal vine
ankidroid?
Honestly i believe it's better to actively learn the language as opposed to passive learning
are you making good progress?
what?
yea. i think both passively and actively work well together
I was just asking if the app you are referring is ankidroid( that's how its listed on the play store)
oh I'm not sure. for me its just called Anki on iphone and on PC. maybe it has a different name on android
Maybe I'll start on podcast
ohh yeah
which one
Crime and Punishment
Whites nights
If you have any another recommendation about Dostoyevsky tell me
my friends recommended "Karamazov brothers" to me but I haven't read it yet
I'll take your recommendation sir in my list
Dankeschön 🙂↕️
humiliated and insulted
Why? Jajja
a nice book
😂
You have prescribed 244 bonks to @gritty lava. 
Hehehe
Yesssss
Hi
hallo und hi, guten abend, good evening all

Wie gehts
zurzeit gucke ich ein YT-Video über Eier
Lol das ist witzig
naja, z.B. es ist sicherer, Eier gerade nach dem Kaufen nicht zu waschen, sodass man die Cuticula intakt lässt
und vor allem nicht mit dem kalten Wasser zu waschen, andererseits kommen die Bakterien rein
Das ist zu seltsam
ich hab die information nie gehört
und kann ich nie die Eier nicht waschen
ich wasche selbst die Eier, aber erst kurz vor der Zubereitung, nicht vorher
Komm

looks awesome! I'm also a fan of the Kartoffelpuffel but I eat it almost exclusively with cream
omg my omi used to make it with the apple sauce too
my childhood. hope it tasted good
It was absolutely amazing!! My friend stepped me through the whole process and taught me how his mom made it

He even suggested sprinkling a little sugar sugar and cinnamon if I wanted too 
yes sugar on top
i remember I would put maple syrup on mine and my grandma was always horrified
Hallo
looks good, may i know what it is?
guten morgen leute ...
Guten morgen!!
ig so
u from?
Dms open for any single guy
Emma watson itself, guys
Lol
in NL studium kostet geld fuer nicht hollandische personen und die kostet auch viel Geld
Kartoffelpuffer
With applesauce oder “Apfelmus”
Yes but it’s good with Kartoffelpuffer, you have your opinion on how to eat it, that’s fine. It’s just how my German friend and his mom taught me and that’s how I suggest it be eaten too 🤷🏻♀️
no idea... never touching sugar no matter what, es ist schlecht ...!
Warum?
You do realize that fruits have sugar in them, right?
Same with bröt
And anything with carbs for that matter
It could be unsweetened Apfelmus oder natural sweetened
ich verstehe
mhm
Yes but there are also people who have glucose problems and need the sugar, not entirely the problem nor the point in this
I was simply making a suggestion that unsweetened Apfelmus would be the better option if you don’t like sugar
Or choose not to eat things with added sugar
Thats all 
@calm ore Hi, please avoid any ranting about diet/health here.
Danke
ty basem took note

Hallo @coral parrot o/
Du hast friends only DMs, also kann dir man keine Nachricht schicken ohne eine Freundschaftsanfrage.
Darum habe ich dir eine Freundschaftsanfrage gesendet :3
Ich suche jemand, mit denen kann ich etwas regelmäßig reden, um mein Deutsch zu verbessern.
@coral parrot Unfortunately DMs require first a friend request. So anyone wanting to study with you will have to ping you instead.
Since when? I have some people who can send me a dm withoit the need of a friendrequest 😅
Might be because you share a different server with them.
A mod told me explicitly that you can only send DMs to someone you exclusively
Meet on the server with friend requests.

Hallo!
Hallo @rose bough
Man german is so cool i wish germany was real
Uhm?
Have I been fooled my whole life?
Germany isn't real???
Its all a lie from the spanish government to tell us that there exists a place where you can get 2000€ a month
So we have hope
But no it doesnt exists
Its all water there
A sea
Is 2000€ a month a lot in spain?
Yeah
The minimum here its like 1000
And the groceries are expensive as hell (even things from spain like olive oil)
I also heard supermarkets are cheaper in germany than here but i dont really know if thats real
In Spain 2000 is not rich, but like, enough to live good in most cases
2000€ a month isn't much in Germany tbh, I would say average is like 2500€
Most people make more than that though
It really depends on what you work as
Yeah i looked it up i think the minimum its more than that
Tue median income is 4300 before tax
So if u make less than that you're in the bottom 50%
how do people even live with that i dont get it
half of it goes to the rent in a random city center
if youre not living at a studio in a 100k populated city
Hiii
You have prescribed 229 bonks to @gritty lava.

Hi
Hallo
No

I'm tirito
I think im normal person xd
I send you greetings from Peru.
Where's Peru ?
I don't believe you are normal
Ppl here are so weird
lima
Why ur name is Taratiro ?
good point
What's that even means ?
why my name is tirito? simple
I've been using it for 10 years
I haven't changed it
Aha i see
10 years ? that means you are at least above 20-22 yrs
almost
im 25years old
Didn't expect you to be older than me
Assuming you are 23 or 24
You are not guessing, it's already written in my bio
Do you speak several languages?
I didn't see it
Native in Arabic
English B2
French A2
I can assume less than 25 and greater than 22
boaaaaaa
Do you live where you were born?
or did you travel
only interested in others
I only speak Spanish as my native language, basic English, and I was thinking about learning German
I started to learn German recently
Are you interested in studying it?
Sorta, i need to reach B2 while doing my Bachelor exams so i can move to Germany
a trip to stay
I plan to go someday; not in the short term, but soon.
To stay
I think i might settle there for some years or move to Austria or Switzerland
I don't know why I like knowing people's plans, it makes me happy
I wish you luck on your journey.
You too
Hey yall, how is everyone? 🤣
I'd say: I'm totally fine, a tad tired but fine 😄
^^ ... and how R U?
Im good, and tired pretty real
Well, then let me assume you're somewhere around Europe (like me -> Germany), where it's past the middle of the night... 🤔
Nope, its only 19:40 here in the US
Hallo Leute, wie geht's ihr?
Mir geht es gut!
Wie geht's euch*
Schön zu hören
can you always use 's to abbreviate es in german?
Can it be abbreviated???
wie geht's for example
what the....
what
Aldi ist tatsächlich die am schnellsten wachsende Supermarktkette in den gesamten #USA und das, obwohl das Discounter-Modell kaum zum klassisch amerikanischen Supermarktkonzept passt.
In der neuen Folge von #ATLAS erfahrt ihr, warum ausgerechnet dieser Aldi Amis so stark anzieht – während US-Supermärkte in Deutschland gnadenlos scheitern....
Holy crap, wrong video ctrl-c
Lol
Okay, correct one this time.
What is ALDI?
I just watched this video and... I think I understood at least 70%+ of it.
I think my German practice is beginning to pay off o.O
Grocery store
The video does a good job explaining! But its from a German perspective. I didn't know that in Germany you guys had Aldi sud vs Aldi north.
And that one of those was "Traders Joes" here.
I did need (German) subtitles to be able to read + listen for maximum understanding. (Even then, I clearly missed a lot of stuff).
Wie gehts
Hallo zusammen

@craggy osprey sorry for all
I can’t fully read this yet but I can make some of it out
Funny this is i added this to the page the dev of the game provided me the translation
Here my lvl at right now
As a native English speaker.. is anyone also forgetting English words while learning German???
Like English word I know, I’ve accidentally replaced with German and then I can’t remember how to say said word in English ?
Not only that but I’ve picked up my friends accent that he has when he speaks English (he’s a native German speaker) and I can’t get rid of it
yes this is normal
it happens no matter the native lagnauge or the one speaking it
my sister used to be like that, she would write random spanish words while speaking portuguese
but as weird as it sounds the cure for it is to use your English more
IS THAT BILLIE?!
yeah, extremely normal. im in the funny situation where i used to have this as a child (recalling english quicker than german sometimes), now im back to forgetting english words and very content with that, but my mother nowadays uses more english than she used to so now she's forgetting words and unwittingly using anglicisms. kinda funny, kinda grating
Yes lol
I know Danish as well and when I started picking up German, the hardest thing for me was having to like reset my brain because I would accidentally throw in Danish vocabulary when texting in German
kamelåså...
Yeah lol it’s a reference from a show called “ Uti vår hage”
The video is mostly in English lol
hi
hallöchen
Duolingo needs to be nuked
Biggest scam ive seen on earth
Genuinely was glad i am making any lil progress with german cuz i bee slacking off latley nd duo was temporarily fun way to get u engaged
but then they keep on pushing their subscription bs on u nd Make you lose all ur progress too HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES
Nd mind u we are just on the "kekse und kaffee" chapter of it
No way i invested 4 days on cookies and coffee 😭
I DON'T EVEN DRINK COFFEE RAHHHH
I love complaining my bad u guys
Yeah Duolingo is ass
I invested in that lil app for a few years and I hardly got any progress
I don’t know any German medias to get into
When learning Japanese it’s easy because you can literally just watch anime or read Manga in the original language
Germans dub everything
Bet
I can also watch videos made by German YouTubers
Or any other social media platform
Hello
i actually plan on watching MLP in german nd kids shows since i am only A1 , nd nico's weg as well
u dont have to get into one made by germans u can learn from dubbed cartoons u loved
right DW has good videos tbh
hiii
Hru
good wbu
Fine
Who or what is DW?
Deutsche Welle its a german funded tv station that also creates videos nd has a website to learn german on which i find very useful
thir videos also build hearing nd speaking skills if u mirror them
they have YT channel too
Oh nice
it is!
5-6 Stunden Duolingo pro Tag
ex duo
Duolingo is a decent resource to start with if you're a complete beginner, but it's neither efficient nor comprehensive!
What Duolingo will teach you about grammar is very limited, and none of the systems they use will help you practise much of it.
You can learn some vocabulary with it, but their method (based on the concept of spaced repetition) doesn't work for everybody, and the way Duolingo teaches is not very effective compared to the amount of time it requires from you.
So, if you find it useful, by all means keep using it, but remember not to fall for its gamification of language learning, and move past it when it stops being beneficial. Ignore the streaks.
In any case, keep in mind that Duolingo is not enough to learn a language, ever.
If you're looking for guidance or alternatives, check out >faq beginner in our #botchannel .
Duo sucks
it differs rlly tbh
I learned
How do you know you’re really B1, did you learn until duo said you’re B1 or can you actually say some things
dude i once saw german meme about a show in a supermarket nd now i wanna watch it so bad now
Prob once a week I haven't use the app in a long time
Go for it lol
I am B1+, i passed goethe
german media be having pretzel cutting comps nd its the most entertaining stuff ever
See, you're not putting efforts
Ah oke I mean did you do anything other than duo?
Yeah of course
I used Duolingo only to count streaks
Yeah that’s the thing
Thats good to know
😄
People will think you can get fluent just with duo
ikr
Ich sah den Clip bei DMAX bei A2 Abenteuer Autobahn und konnte nicht mehr... =D
American YouTubers
I deleted it after 1 week
Also bro there was this ad I don’t even remember which service it was fo
But it was like “the moment you start mixing English and German” and it was an ad for a language learning app of some sort
As if that’s supposed to make me want to buy their product
😂
thats just berlin
authentic german stuff
when they say u gotta listen to german music to learn better nd then u discover german drill nd its just english
There is German music that is really sung in German
yeah inam making ajoke
But like the audience of that ad speaks English and they think somehow mixing in German words is useful
Imagine an ad that said
OHHH now i got it
merci mon 兄弟
小笼包oui oui
c'est
真
french and arabic nd thats just north africa
english nd arabic nd thats just middle east
french and arabic and english nd thats lebanon
Chinese and Portuguese that’s Macao
LMFAOOO
frecnh nd english thats canada too
watching german mlp nd element of harmony is just the same
dis german shit is easy
Grammatik aktiv really figured something out here. Exercises 32 through 40 really teach prepositions excellently
Like 10% of the book, covering A1 to B1, is only on prepositions lol.
auf dem Markt vs im Supermarkt is going to wreck me for a while though
USA based thinking means I see markets as the same thing as supermarkets, lol. Weird to see a different preposition here.
where? Oo
In USA, Supermarkets are the default. Its rarer to find a old school "market". Over here, we're more likely to find malls or other such spaces.
Once I realized that "der Markt" vs "der Supermarkt" were such different places, I think the preposition-switch makes a lot more sense to me.
Ah, so that is what you are talking about...
Which prepositions are the ones that took your for a ride?
"in den / im Supermarkt" == very logical and I'm cool with.
"auf den / auf dem Markt" == wtf, my brain is exploding.
Ex: "Ich gehe auf den Markt einkaufen" is just... very unnatural. I'll remember it. Probably.....
I'm also 100% cool with "auf der Straße"
In USA: I think "in the Supermarket" and "on the street" are just very natural phrases.
you will also totally go "Ich gehe zum Markt"
but if I ask you where are you: "Ich bin gerade auf dem Markt"
zu/zur/zum I'm not quite as good with. But I think it makes a degree of sense.
zu is more or less "to" in English
but dativ for some reason, lol
but the cultural logic German doesnt use it the same as English is not identical
ja, 😄
weil auf = Open-Air-Markt mit Marktständen usw. In = geschlossenes Gebäude
genau, "in" ist halt "außen" vs. "innen" (was auch immer das heißt)
stimmt
in den Berge ?
Ich gehe in den Berge :-). Ich bin in dem Bergen.
Ich gehe in den Berg = I actually go inside a mountain
Unless we're going nach Bergen.
like a mining shaft or cave
You don't mean German, of course?
Just a little bit
I'm glad this book spends so much time and exercises on the prepositions. I really needed this.
Grammatik aktiv?
I just needed 7 days in a row of "auf den Markt" / "auf dem Markt" / "in den Supermarkt" / "zu Rewe" "von Rewe" / "aus Berlin".
Yeah, Grammatik aktiv. 7 exercises in a row of preposition practice.
Omg >_> "von"
(I've got a pet peeve to tell on that preposition alone >.<)
and of course, the Hause exceptions
zu Hause, nach Hause, von zu Hause
wtf
"von zu Hause" ??
but those are just learned as words and being done with
Yeah, I guess so.
btw, I would use "von zuhause" 😛
"zu Hause" and "zuhause" are equivalent in German
good to know
I just prefer the latter
nach Hause has no equivalency, though
(...unless we start making one and that becoming the majority usage 😄 )
(but "nachhause" just looks mh)
wird daheim nicht als Alternative genutzt?
Nein.
Das kannst du nur als Antwort auf "wo bist du?" (etc.) benutzen
ach so
danke
you can say like "endlich daheim" i think to say that you're finally back home from work or whatever
ja
(but why do you even say that anyway...if you live alone especially ;_;)

Hyy ich leren deutsch 
hi willkommen
Hyyy
What do germans usually do during ruhetag
You mean on a Sunday?
Do some stuff at home
Read a book, play some games
Or try to repair your bike, like I am rn
sunday really isn’t that different to any other day
if anything it’s annoying cuz you can’t get groceries
what is wrong with it
cafes are still open on sundays 🗣️
This explains so much
Freilauf hat ein komisches Geräusch gemacht
scheint bisschen lose gewesen zu sein
Hab alles bis auf die Scheibenbremse und den Freilauf jetzt abgebaut vom Hinterrad
Und jetzt fehlt mir nur noch ein 12 mm Inbus
(Hab nur bis zu 10 mm)

Tight
achsooo
Nee, ich kann doch nicht für eine Sechskantverzahnung innerhalb eines Rohrs, Zangen verwenden, das macht überhaupt keinen Sinn.
Zangen dienen höchstens dazu was festzuhalten, was mir aber nichts bringt, wenn ich nichts habe womit ich Kraft ausüben kann
Anyone wanna learn some german vocab like rn?
Regarding wanting to live in Germany or Austria
My immediate reason for wanting that is so that I’m not worked to death. I hate America’s work culture and the refusal of its citizens and politicians to change it.
But my long term is being able to live in a different culture, with different norms and attitudes. I want to be able to adapt and experience that.
The second one is probably what people are looking for, but is wanting the first so wrong?
Consider how uncalm it is in Europe lately. Who knows what situation Germany or Austria will find themselves in a few years
No, it's not.

Hallo zusammen
english natives here how difficult is German for you pronunciation wise?
Not very.
🙏
My teacher said that I was bad with ö, ei, ie, z, r, s, ss, ß
Until we worked for a while and practiced them.
I also mess up the two ways to pronounce ä but that's more of a knowledge/vocabulary issue. You just need to listen to how natives talk.
I also have significant issues with rhythm when I was getting started in German. Accents were almost always on the wrong thing until I really studied every word.
German should be easy for most English speakers, but don't slack. There is always room for improvement.
Compared to trying to pronounce 'ng' in Tagalog, these issues are easy in comparison.
But there's a lot of little things to mess up for English to German. Vowels aren't quite in the same tongue position....
You are from the philipines?
My parents are. I'm USA / English native.
I would imagine if u gave someone a month to learn ng and -ch they would produce similar results
Strangely enough, ch never gave me issues lol
Do you mean you just mixed up ie and ei? Or was the pronunciation actually wrong?
Every pronunication of it?
At least, my teacher never corrected me on -ch. But lots and lots of ei / ie issues.
ich vs machen
Mix up in this case.
Okay, makes sense. That's a common beginner mistake. But I've never really heard of someone having trouble pronouncing the sounds.
I consider ich vs machen more of a vocab problem.
I assume it's the same with Z, S, SS and ß. Reading them incorrectly rather than having trouble pronouncing them.
österreichische was damn near impossible for like a week. (The ch here did give me issues, but so did so many other letters....)
No, he's talking about ich-laut vs ach-laut. That is pronunciation.
I mean, vocab in that you just memorize when to use the softer ch vs hard ch
Typically you don't memorise it.
The tongue position on a good ö is not intuitive for me. Not initially anyway.
Yeah same (I say as an American)
<@&305455824174710787>
same (as a Haitian)
Hey
guten morgen leute ... und schoenen tag weiter

wenn ja, ich kann antworten. DM mich
sorry for bad german
<@&305455824174710787>
adito alle informatie ueber language transfer ist auch zu finden auf google.com sehr einfach
Tagalog is kind of hard because of the vowel sounds
But actually I find that the vowel sounds of Tagalog are quite similar to the vowel sounds of German
At least compared to english
Oscar magandag gabi sa yo. well said... I do agree
Juten morgen
Its a dialect
Uh good question
??
I thought it was berlin

noob
Hi guys, im from Ecuador, and im learning german, is here anyone in the same situation???
Hallo
Tragic
hey, it is an app to learn german yes. But responses are required from people who have used it. You can still try it, it is also available on youtube, as someone writing on it, i highly recommend it
Defo. Germans and Filipinoz speak at the same pace and intonation as well. XD
German is just more aggresive-sounding to those unfamiliar with the language
never understood people saying its aggressive
its not
isn't that Schleswig Holstein
Norddeutschland generell eig
Plattdeutsch ist übrigens eine eigene Sprache und kein Dialekt
probably because they've only ever heard it from rammstein or ww2 speeches
or if they ever heard it somewhere else they assumed it was a different language because it didn't sound aggressive like they think german does
Hallo
Who wants to mock DM me
Berlin dialect is not plattdeutsch
Yes! There are different variations of plattdeutsch, depending on where u are. But as u said, all in the north
Some of them are spoken south of the Elbe though
Which isnt the nortu
South of Elbe? U mean southern Hamburg? Or where? I've never heard that before
Everything south of Hamburg and Schleswig Holstein isnt northern Germany
Normalste Einteilung
Ich würde Niedersachsen und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern auch noch dazu zählen.
do you speak Plattdeutsch
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ja, da komme ich her. Niedersachsen.. Hmm.. Keine Ahnung 😂 konnte ich mir aber vorstellen
Kommst du aus Rostock
ohaaa
Naja, vielleicht nicht ganz Niedersachsen
Huhhh wo ich herkomme?
Wo ist das?
Nein, das nicht, aber alles hier im Norden, ja 😂
hahahahah
woher kommst du?
"nähe Hamburg"
Flensburg was brudi, nähe hamburg
Hmm kennst du Norderstedt
Ja klar
Alles klar, wie gut, dass wir das dann schon mal ausgeschlossen haben
was ist mit deinem Fahrrad jz
Das ist doch aber Norden, wo man platt spricht
geht erstmal
Ich kann auch Plattdeutsch
kannst es immer noch fahren oder nd
man spricht platt in Hessen
😛
Finde den Begriff niederdeutsch auch besser weil viele nicht niederdeutsche Dialekte sich auch selber als Platt bezeichnen
ne ehrlich
aber die Dialekt heißt Platt
Kommst du aus der Nähe von Rostock oder so? Ich war letztens beruflich dort und fand es wirklich sehr schön
und plattdeutsch ist Norddeutschland
Finde Rostock sogar irgendwie lebenswerter als Lübeck
ja, geht noch
geilo
muss das trotzdem noch mal überprüfen
achsooo
kommt du auch aus nähe hamburg
Was hast du für ein Fahrrad
also niederdeutsch ist plattdeutsch
ööh
nee, aus Hamburg
jo
wasss wo
Echt? Naja, das kann sein, aber das ist kein plattdeutsch
ja ist anders aber die Leute nennen es auch platt, nur platt
Falls du mich meinst. Nein, sind 2h Autofahrt nach Rostock. Ich bin aus Neubrandenburg
Ahhh
Das kann natürlich sein
Oh da hab ich in Rostock nicht viel gutes drüber gehört muss ich sagen
jo war nur ein "fun fact" so haha
Viele meinten dass Neubrandenburg in McPomm komplett angehängt wurde und nur noch Schwerin und Rostock wirklich Zukunft haben😔
Keine Ahnung, ich wohne da schon seit 2002 nicht mehr. Wenn ich zu Besuch bin, dann ist es schön 😂
wir haben endlich gutes Wetter hier 🥺
Aber wenn ich mir die Bilder auf Google anschaue muss ich wirklich sagen dass es schön aussieht
wowww wie alt bist du wenn man fragen darf
einfach unc
