I know something very similar from my childhood in the Pfalz: Hinnerm Hannes seim Haasehaus, henken hunnert Haase haus, hunnert Haase henken haus , hinnerm Hannes seim Haasehaus.

These are hilarious, and really apropos! There is a viral German language video with a tongue-twister song about "Barbara's Rhubarb Bar" ("Barbaras Rhabarberbar") which pokes fun at German noun construction. There is even a follow-up video with a comment that made me laugh: "Honey wake up, the Germans are rapping about rhubarb again!"

Love this! And this came up next! lol, you need to do this song in PA Dutch!!! czcams.com/video/PGv5jIT3WHY/video.html

Doug, ich kann net glaawe as du so hardich em Video vun mei Aaschpruch machschde. Grooss Dank. Du un dei Freind em vordrefflich Tschabb geduh hett! Fimf Kaffi! --Bill aus Dillsburg

The one i heard before was “ich hob ee hunnert Haase gheert huschde hinnich Henry Huber sei Hinklehaus Heit”

What a fun video! Plus I learned some words I didn't know before and got a better feel for sentence structure.

Hurts your teeth? You need to see a dentist. Corn is soft.

Are you guys playing anywhere soon? I'd like to see you live.

I grew up in Coopersburg in Southern Lehigh County. In High School in the mid 80s we had the opportunity to take media classes and learn how TV and radio production worked. We videotaped each other and when the first one was played and we heard how dutchy we sounded it shocked us. It was as if people on "TV" weren't supposed to sound that way and it was maybe the first time we'd ever heard ourselves with a critical ear. I now live in South Carolina and I"m proud of my (fading) PA dutch accent. When I go back to PA on occasion its like the accent is recharged and refreshed and I'll come home sounding like I never left

I can her my oma ruttuzing abut this

Excellent, keep it coming, [[ Das] [[ nei(e) [[watte]] Sorry about all the brackets. My android keeps making spelling corrections for me. Annoying 😑

Is there a noun form of faahre? I was thinking about it and I think I use "drive" as a noun more than a verb. Like, "Berks County is a drive from up here in the Poconos!" or just "going for a drive."

Ich gleich mei Schubbkarrich zu faahre!

Ebenso interessant finde ich die Aussprache des „aa“ in faahre. Denn in bei uns in Rheinland Pfalz spricht man es als lang gezogenes „A“ aus, nicht als „O“. Mit dem Wort gleich (like) hatte ich anfangs auch nicht gewusst was damit gemeint war, aber steht in dem Falle für „möchte“. Also uff pälzisch: „Ich mecht mei Motorrad faahre“. Awwer ich hab des PA-Dutch richtich gern☺️.

Ihr benutzt «.....gleich....« für like? 🤔 Interessant..... 👍☺️

Thanks keep it up you're great and I appreciate your videos. I've considered joining, it just so happens I have some land and I'm an agriculture major and I'm not big on modernity. Your videos are helpful I bought an Amish straw hat last fall and was able to practice a little with my friend Levi, who sells the hats, with what I've learned from the channel. I'm not fluent by any means but I can understand (not speak) German so it's not so hard to learn PA Dutch

Besser als English for sure! Das war lustig

"Dormlisch" deeden mir Pälzer sage.

Subba Sach!!!!! ☺️

Left to right! 11:14

How do you switch the cards with the partner? Both at the same time or one first and then they look at the cards and then send two back?

Yes who new learn something every show my grandfather went to a pow wow person an thought it was in the centerport area I had to stay in the car

Ich kenn dormlich. Vielleicht von taumeln? Like a drunk person?

610!! Berks County!!! Much RESPECT!

I literally live in Chambersburg and never realized what Renfrew was all about. I'm gonna have to check it out.

Du meinst schiedlich, auf Hochdeutsch?

Hi Doug, bai us in Owwerhesse haast des durmelig. Aber ohne Deine Übersetzung hätte ich die Querverbindung nicht gefunden. Machs gut, Peter

Bavarian "damisch" comes close too 😂

hallo Liewer Freind Douglas bei uns in de (Kur-)Palz saage mier: “ach was isses mer so „dornelisch“!

This is a primary stumbling block. My background is Standard German, from a Pfalz family, having lived in Germany as a kid. My eyes want to see the German convention, it makes sense, and sounds "at home" in my head. I don't hear German like Americans who were never exposed long term to German in Germany (regardless of Dialekt). For PA Dutch, I have to sound what I read out loud to hear, and I can hear the German through it. Ergo, I am incredibly slow in reading PA Dutch. Buffington Barber is actually pretty good in this regard. It sounds like you have that issue as well, Doug. The closer to the German, for me, desto besser!

des is dormlich in de palz, in hochdeitsch vielleicht taumelig, schwindlich. griess aus de n palz, liewer doug🥰🙋‍♀️

Lol

Well, actually translated into German I would say it would be stupid.

Bei uns heest des dormlich (schwindelig)

Bischde guut, gsund? Du glangscht wennicher rischdich, wann sell 's richdich Watt iss, dann du als bischt. Ich hoff ass du net Grank bischt aa; ferwas yuus 'wu' im Blatz vun 'wann' in deim Sentence?

Great episode. If anyone is interested in reading about the backlash that 'Papa is All' received back in the day, check out the March 15, 1954, edition of The Pennsylvania Dutchman, which is available online from Franklin & Marshall College. The story is on the last page and the play didn't get any positive feedback from the Dutchman readers at the time.

Ich kann dich verschteh! I don't catch all of it but more than I expected. En gluschdicher Hoischrecker hot gfresse der Hof lol.

I went to a school district called Condrad Weiser. We're known as The Scouts and our mascot is a Scout. There are days where we literally drive by the Conrad Weiser park. No joke. I've been to that place before but it was when was kid.

Hi from England!!

Ach, so, Papiertüte! Oder Sack, gell.

I was 16 and working in a local restaurant when I learned a couple was just 2 to other people, lol.

Yep, just one of the things I admire about our culture. Have to say this was one of my favorite videos from you guys. The world today could learn so much from PA Dutch values and we need to check ourselves every once in awhile and make sure to instill these values in our children.

Haha, but seriously this is every trip to the grocery store lately.

In Hassia, eieiei is very common. Eieieieiei even more so possibly.

Oh, I this too often, lol.

It doesn’t matter what it is or how bad of shape it’s in. If it’s been washed I’m wearing it at least one more time. No sense in wasting the soap and water it took to wash it.

Bei uns isses "die Babierdudde"

If you spoke that crap in Germany they would look at you like u were CRAZY. What about Yiddish? It sounds a little like yiddish doesnt it. Are there ny PD movies? Or Bible? Danke Sehr

Babierdutt, nid zu verwechseln mit ÄpaarBierDutt 😅 Die nämm ich ach liewa, un wann se nimmie brauchsch nämmsch se fa Feier a zu mache!!! Kennsch die Umwelt-Stofftütten?? Wie nennen ehr die in PA Dutch?? Bei uns isch es de Umweldbeidel orra die Stoffdutt. 😬

I love these videos! I also watch your PA dutch series you have and it’s helped me a lot! I try to learn PA Dutch because I have some Amish neighbors! Thanks Doug!
