    Nah, "Missgeburt" isn't a stillbirth. That would be "Fehlgeburt" or "Totgeburt". "Missgeburt" is just a visibly deformed newborn baby, and it's one of the more serious insults one could use.

    Slight correction: "Missgeburt" is not "still birth", but rather "defective birth " or "monstrosity". Someone born with difigurements and maybe cognitive and physical impairments.
    "Still birth" would be "Totgeburt" or "Fehlgeburt".

      Literally yes, but if you translate "Du Missgeburt" into English, for example, you get "You freak". But if you translate "Du Fehlgeburt" into English, it becomes "You miscarriage". Totgeburt is translated in English as stillbirth.

    • @publicminx
      @publicminx Před 12 dny

      English and German are both West Germanic languages (and have both a lot of Latin/Greek - due to their impact as academic terminology). And if one is aware about that and how language of the same family in general work then one should at first translate things directly which means 'Miss-Geburt' should at first be translated to 'Mis-Birth'. Both words, 'Mis/s' and 'Geburt/Birth' are cognates of each other. The were once the SAME. And if one is aware about that then one get over time also a feeling for that in both languages you have sometimes constructions based on 'mis/s' (in English also for instance 'Mis-Fortune', 'Mis-Take' (yay, unaware people even miss this split or in English and German 'Miss-Verstaendnis/Mis-Understanding'). One can see in both languages that things are common, similar or changed - sometimes the same changes happened within the same language - for instance that over time other words were more used. More used does not mean an older usage (often exactly the same in both languages) is not legit. And BECAUSE more aware Germans (like me) know that, I also guessed correctly that due to the same constructions and history a word like 'Miss-Birth' might still exist in English and this is exactly the case, why in for instance the Oxford Dictionary knows it - Mis-Birth AND even the closer to German 'Miss-Burth' - known since 1600. It makes sense to use also more modern (in reality just based on habits) translations but if one keeps aware about how close both languages are then both know always MUCH MORE than if you have just the average Joe who believes there are two foreign languages and one should stereotypical translate 'without awareness'. And people who are aware about such things are also automatically able to recognize in each other languages much more patterns while people without such awareness even dont recognize things within the own language (for exactly the same mistake). Most English speakers for instance are not aware about that 'Husband' has actually a meaning one still can read out 'Hus' (just like in other Germanic languages: Hus, Haus, House) + 'Band' (related also to 'Bond' or the German 'band' like in 'Bandage' (which means exactly the same as 'Bondage' but Germans for the same reasons are not aware about that. Unaware people oversee permanently the reality in front of the nose).

      @chrisrudolf9839 Před 23 dny +5

      We do use "dog" as a crude term of respect in German, too, but it usually needs to be combined with an adjective. Most of the times it expresses both being annoyed by that persons behavior and respecting them for being good at it, e.g. when you say someone is "ein gerissener Hund" (a sly dog) or when you call a drill seargent (or a trainer, teacher or boss who behaves like a drill sergeant, but still manages to teach people a lot). "harter Hund" (hard dog).

      @fabianstiefel1586 Před 23 dny +4

      ​@@chrisrudolf9839yeah, but those are usually used for people you personally don't like. So while the adjective shows your admiration, the 'dog' part still shows your personal negative opinion about it. It's for those kind of situations where you can't help but praise for something, even if you otherwise might hate the person. For people that you actually like, it's usually not used, unless maybe as a joke.

    1:37 It was in the early 70s and the show was called “Ende Offen”, but things usually didn’t escalate like that 😂
    The one with the ax was the manager of the (great!!!) socially critical German band Ton Steine Scherben (for us fans just "Die Scherben"). Back then, they had a very recent song called "Macht kaputt, was euch kaputt macht“ (break what breaks you). Their manager took that very literally that evening. He said television was an oppressive element of mass society. He "coincidentally" had an ax in his jacket pocket with which he could demonstrate how he thought it should be handled. Considering that they were critics of the system, they understood very well how PR works in this system 😉 But for them it was actually primarily about the matter, about their political convictions, and really not about their personal success.
    What you don‘t see in this clip: Later that evening he dismantled microphones and other studio equipment and put them in his pocket - arguing that young people who were in prison needed these things more urgently 😄

    Actually, there is a dogs breed called "Schweinehund". It's the bullterrier. ... Furthermore the term Schweinehund can be used to describe the difficult process of breaking out of procrastination. Germans and we Austrians say "den inneren Schweinehund überwinden", which would literally translate "to conquer (or overcome) the inner Schweinehund". As in "I have to overcome my inner Schweinehund and go to the gym".
    ps: still birth means "Totgeburt". Whereas "Missgeburt" is more like "miscarriage", meaning that a child being miscarried may not be dead but mentally or physically challenged. But yes, "Missgeburt" is used as an insult, when it shall hurt.

    “Hund” (dog) can be an insult or a compliment - it depends on the situation and how you say it. E.g. If someone finds a clever way to avoid taxes, you might say with admiration, “Was für ein Hund!” (what a dog!). But if someone were to rip you off, “Was für ein Hund!” would mean exactly the opposite.

It represents the so-called "Schweinehund"... so you literally have to "overcome the Schweinehund " to go to church when you push down that doorknob.

    Additionally, this is also my favourite dutch insult:
