It is easy for an English speaker.... until the abnormal verbs. Still probably easier than a German learning English. At least Germans know how to spell. There are rules for spelling and pronunciation with German. Not so with the English.

Moved from Ukraine to Germany half year ago... Approve most of this guys takes, but i must say, that in fact germans are really kind and friendly people, thay always happy to help you -- or they will find someone, who can. At least at Munich)
oh thank you :) I would confirm it for the most people. I am living in Northern Germany. In summer we met a ukranian family that was also very friendly and I was really touched by their story. I hope you are doing well in Bayern!
My paternal family heritage is heavily Pennsylvania German. Of the dozen lines I’ve so far on that side, they go back 7 generations to arrivals between 1709 and 1720s. My paternal grandfather’s family is one of those who arrived in 1709, and despite the 300+ years here, they still spoke the Pennsylvania German dialect exclusively at home. He only learned English as a whole language rather than a few words and phrases when he started school around 7 or 8 years old. His wife, my paternal grandmother, didn’t learn it growing up in the same way but her grandmother spoke it fluently and her father knew a lot of it as well, and when she married my grandpa in the late 1950s, she learned it and they would often speak it around us, especially on car rides when they didn’t want us to know what was being said. 😂 I say all of this because if you are at all familiar with Pennsylvania Culture, you will know that every single one of these attitudes persisted at least through my father’s generation (early Gen-X). Liam’s videos are often so reflective of a lot of Pennsylvania German people that it triggers a ton of memories growing up on and around the family farm homestead, and I have laughed so hard at some my sides literally hurt. I showed some of these to my grandmother before she recently passed away, and she also thought they were hilarious and would tell stories and anecdotes from her childhood and also of my dad and aunts and uncles experiencing these attitudes from their parents and grandparents. And let’s just say, a lot of them carried through to my dad’s parenting as well. 😂😂😂
Also, interestingly, some of the other customs persisted. At Mamaw and Ampaw’s, there were always large breakfasts on Sunday morning featuring a ton of baked goods and homemade preserves, at least 4 different juices (apple, orange, tomato, pineapple) and it was always the heaviest meal of the day. Sunday evenings were always light and usually mostly cold food snack buffet-type dinners. People were strongly disinclined to shop and especially work on Sundays except when absolutely necessary and even then (late 80s/early 90s) you had to travel 20+ miles to find a proper grocery or hardware store open on a Sunday more than a few hours if at all because they were all mom and pop-type independent places unless you drove out to a large town or city. Long walks, bike rides, and exploratory drives seeking out interesting roads and new ways to get places, well before GPS or internet directions (or the internet in general) were used by the general populations. Camping vacations where all of the cousins would be sent (tbh willingly, we all loved it) with Ampaw on bike rides which lasted for miles even if he had the little kids with him - imagine a small American child riding a bike for 2+ miles up and down decently-sized hillsides. Hurt yourself? 1 - Visual inspection for blood or protruding bones. 2 - Immediate fetching of the mobile infirmary-level first aid kit with literally anything needed to tend to any mild or medium injury below the level of an ER trip. 3 - “Well, are you dead?” as whichever adult it was that was fixing you up was taking care of whatever you hurt. ALWAYS pulling over to help a random motorist fix their disabled car, fixing/repairing something a fellow camper didn’t have the ability or tools to fix because why would you bring specialized tools you’d never need on a normal vacation with you, repairing anything mechanical / construction-y / “fix with your hands” related. Literally growing your own hay and corn to feed the cows and pigs raised on the family farm which were then butchered in the fall, and which EVERYONE - aunts, uncles, and cousins all the way down to around 4 or 5 years old - helped to do. Making sausage, smoking hams and bacon, massive gardens which we grandchildren worked in right alongside Mamaw when we were visiting, preserving all of the produce throughout the summer and fall (A MILLION HOURS on the front porch with Mamaw and the cousins and aunts - even Ampaw and dad or the uncles would help sometimes if they were there during the day. Picking apples from the orchard behind the house in the fall - again, everyone in the family including small children were involved and given jobs and then hauling out the massive antique manual cider press that evening and making cider in the barnyard, which was always enough to last most of the year as an occasional treat even when split among the 8 kids and their families - I’d say at least 150 gallons, maybe more. I took German as my language requirement in undergrad specifically so I could talk to my grandfather with it, because it is still similar enough to regular German to have a conversation. He was so thrilled at the time, because even then the PA German language was well on the way to dying out after his generation started passing away, and he rarely had the opportunity to speak it other than with my grandmother.
I am not German, but there is just this soft spot I have for Germans I don't know where it comes from. Their practicality is cute and astonishing but also funny. 😂 But I feel behind their practicality, there is a soft spot but it's just not overtly shown but trust me...when they care, they are in it and not going to do hanky panky
as german i can say this is the most german thing i have seen in a long time. you don't even think about how metal a lot of the common phrases really are when you hear them your entire life.

"Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Klamotten" "Wer schön sein will, muss leiden" "Nicht ganz schlecht" "Der Kuchen ist nicht zu süß!" ("There is no bad weather, just bad clothes" "Who wans to be pretty needs to suffer (for that)" "Not bad" --> every other compliment is too much and could be sarcasm, beware "The cake is not too sweet" --> best compliment for a sweet dish)
No, that would be disrespectful. You don't hand over the receipt, and you also remove all price tags from the present. There should not be any indication of the price when you gift something. But you *keep* the receipt in case the person wants to exchange it.
Bruh... At this point I think you were talking about Serbia all along...🤣 Especially the "not made of sugar" part and the "trust me I know the way" part lol. And the dinner bread and cheese thing... I swear 💀
Vids like this really highlight how much of American culture came frome Germany. Most gifts I've gotten in my life come with the receipt, and "I'll sue" are the two most glaring examples
Du wirst es nicht glauben, den Spruch habe ich früher wirklich öfter gehört. ;-) Als ich Kind war, haben das die erwachsenen Männer öfter gesagt. Damals gab es für deutsche Männer nur Arbeit, Arbeit, Arbeit.
"Was muss, das muss" hit me kinda differently as a Hungarian. We often say "Menni kell, még ha cigánygyerek potyog az égből is!" (We have to go, even if gypsy children are falling from the sky!) or "Ha meg kell baszódni, hát meg kell baszódni!" (If we have to get fucked, then we have to get fucked!). Technically, you could also call in and tell that you're on sick leave, but in some places it is completely unpaid, and in some other places, only 70% of your normal wage is due, and you lose any additional benefits (e.g. the extra money you'd get for working in the afternoon or night shift), plus you'd need a doctors's note later to prove that you were actually sick.
@@southnoon5808 you mean that Hungary has some racist discrimination against gypsies? so gypsy children falling from the sky is seen as a calamity? btw, I think it's quite a common discrimination in Europe..
Да!!! "Разбуди тебя в 3 часа ночи, и ты должен всё рассказать так, чтоб от зубов отскакивало." В России тоже так говорят) Yes!!! "Wake you up at 3 a.m. and you have to tell everything so it bounces off the teeth" (Russian idiom: literally - "it bounces off the teeth" means - "learnt by heart") In Russia we also say this :)

I´m impressed how wonderful you are able to pronounce the word "Brötchen" my good sir!
In Germany we don't say "I'm sorry. This was completely my fault and I will assure that this won't happen again. I will take the complete responsibility for my mistake"
We say "Jetzt isch's halt so" and I think its beautiful
War ich nicht.
In Germany we don't say: "Thanks for this great present." We say: "Aber das wäre doch nicht nötig gewesen!" (That would'nt have been neccessary!") Okay, it might be obsolete now, but I am sure that some people still use it. And it fits here so perfectly!
true: The "wenn es nicht gefällt, kannst du es ja umtauschen" is said by the one who gives, not who receives the present.
Auch schön, statt Danke zu sagen für ein Geschenk: Das hätte aber nicht sein sollen! Hamburger können tatsächlich noch einen draufsetzen!!
Das hat doch viel zu viel gekostet. Hast du den Kassenzettel noch?
“What has to be done, must be done.” This explains the work ethic my parents gave me. My dad (Bremer) retired with the most non-used sick days of any retiring employee, in his company’s history!
Sure and all that while Germans actually stay at home when they are sick to protect the rest of the coworkers. ;-)
Selbst schuld.
BULLSHIT ! They stay at home coz it is nice and comfy to receive money for nothing. Vielen Dank Krankenkasse und Vielen Dank Arbeitgeber ! Mehr bitte ! @@Traumglanz
What is sickness - does not exist in my German language. Krank sein ist für Mädchen😊
In Germany we don't say: Damn, dropped my ice cream.
We say: Aaach egal, tritt sich fest.
I am a German and I can confirm that this video is so on point. 😂
"Na dann viel Spaß im Sommer." :D
There’s actually a phrase in Chinese somewhere along the lines of being weak like you’re made of sugar, so apparently the connection of sugar with weakness is international
Really? Which one? I'm Taiwanese but it rings no bells
@@ccatcat123tw Might also be limited to regional dialects/sayings ‘cuz “Chinese” covers such a big territory
It's related to exposure of water. As sugar dissolves in water. That's when you say: "i'm not made out of sugar." And then proceed to walk in the rain.
Yeah exactly what the guy said above me. It's not really connected to weakness ^^
@@waterunderthebridge7950 yeah perhaps, but I feel like old time phrase we prob have the same ones
Darn it! The more I watch these, the more I'm sure I must be part German, but I'm not. (Norwegian/English)
You pay that much, you'd better eat all of it. 😊
For the weather Part also fitting:
"Was uns nicht umbringt, das macht uns nur härter!"
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger...
Born in Germany I can confirm many of the presented "jokes".. 😉
BUT often they are not meant seriously!
Doch.
0:58 Bro summoned his inner German, that sounded so on point
lolol yes, that one was probably the most on point of em all
I have to say, to demand the Räum- und Streupflicht ist even more german than threatening to sue.
The dude kinda sounded like Arnold Schwarzenegger there xD
@@gandalf_thegrey but the neighbor is just being very friendly, because if you don't move the
snow in front of your house and someone falls and breaks his arm, you're held responsible.
You seem to be really happy in Germany, mate!!! 😂😂😂
1:14
in Russia we say: huh? summer? what's that?
The valintine's speech was also accurate. Including the eating of the rose.
Who eats roses?
@@sarale3565 Germans
I have expected a "Ficken?" :)
@@sarale3565 This gotta be a joke. Roses you can buy here are usually high in toxins, nobody would eat them.
@@pandaman1331 well not the ones u buy at a shop, nope.
"vertrau mir" run for your life 😂😂
In Germany we don't say:
"That was a very enjoyable Video. Keep up the good work."
We say:
"Das geht noch besser. Arbeit, Arbeit."
Give this man an Oscar!🤣
Deutsch ist einfach wunderschön.
German is so beautiful.
"Wer lange feiern kann, der kann früh aufstehen."
**who can party long, can rise early.**

This cracked me up... I live in Switzerland but got some German friends, we are definitely alike 😂 props to you for learning German! I know its hard
Much love
It is easy for an English speaker.... until the abnormal verbs. Still probably easier than a German learning English. At least Germans know how to spell. There are rules for spelling and pronunciation with German. Not so with the English.
Are you swiss?😂
@@cpunktspunkt748 I grew up here but my roots are in Macedonia, we call it "paper swiss" because I got the passport 😅
In germany we don' t say " I don't feel like doing that today". We say "Tomorrow, tomorrow just not today , say all lazy people ". " Morgen, morgen nur nicht heute , sagen alle faulen Leute. " That rhymes in german.😁
You are the best man, much love from a german :D
Moved from Ukraine to Germany half year ago... Approve most of this guys takes, but i must say, that in fact germans are really kind and friendly people, thay always happy to help you -- or they will find someone, who can. At least at Munich)
oh thank you :) I would confirm it for the most people. I am living in Northern Germany. In summer we met a ukranian family that was also very friendly and I was really touched by their story. I hope you are doing well in Bayern!
Asowsche Faschisten sind in Bayern nicht willkommen
Germans always help their friends
I agree, none of this applies to Bavaria. I'm glad you like it in Munich!😏
Ja Ja.... Wenn Steuerfrei oder Kostenlos ist.@@kruggmichaels8958
My paternal family heritage is heavily Pennsylvania German. Of the dozen lines I’ve so far on that side, they go back 7 generations to arrivals between 1709 and 1720s.
My paternal grandfather’s family is one of those who arrived in 1709, and despite the 300+ years here, they still spoke the Pennsylvania German dialect exclusively at home. He only learned English as a whole language rather than a few words and phrases when he started school around 7 or 8 years old. His wife, my paternal grandmother, didn’t learn it growing up in the same way but her grandmother spoke it fluently and her father knew a lot of it as well, and when she married my grandpa in the late 1950s, she learned it and they would often speak it around us, especially on car rides when they didn’t want us to know what was being said. 😂
I say all of this because if you are at all familiar with Pennsylvania Culture, you will know that every single one of these attitudes persisted at least through my father’s generation (early Gen-X). Liam’s videos are often so reflective of a lot of Pennsylvania German people that it triggers a ton of memories growing up on and around the family farm homestead, and I have laughed so hard at some my sides literally hurt.
I showed some of these to my grandmother before she recently passed away, and she also thought they were hilarious and would tell stories and anecdotes from her childhood and also of my dad and aunts and uncles experiencing these attitudes from their parents and grandparents. And let’s just say, a lot of them carried through to my dad’s parenting as well. 😂😂😂
Also, interestingly, some of the other customs persisted. At Mamaw and Ampaw’s, there were always large breakfasts on Sunday morning featuring a ton of baked goods and homemade preserves, at least 4 different juices (apple, orange, tomato, pineapple) and it was always the heaviest meal of the day. Sunday evenings were always light and usually mostly cold food snack buffet-type dinners. People were strongly disinclined to shop and especially work on Sundays except when absolutely necessary and even then (late 80s/early 90s) you had to travel 20+ miles to find a proper grocery or hardware store open on a Sunday more than a few hours if at all because they were all mom and pop-type independent places unless you drove out to a large town or city.
Long walks, bike rides, and exploratory drives seeking out interesting roads and new ways to get places, well before GPS or internet directions (or the internet in general) were used by the general populations. Camping vacations where all of the cousins would be sent (tbh willingly, we all loved it) with Ampaw on bike rides which lasted for miles even if he had the little kids with him - imagine a small American child riding a bike for 2+ miles up and down decently-sized hillsides.
Hurt yourself?
1 - Visual inspection for blood or protruding bones.
2 - Immediate fetching of the mobile infirmary-level first aid kit with literally anything needed to tend to any mild or medium injury below the level of an ER trip.
3 - “Well, are you dead?” as whichever adult it was that was fixing you up was taking care of whatever you hurt.
ALWAYS pulling over to help a random motorist fix their disabled car, fixing/repairing something a fellow camper didn’t have the ability or tools to fix because why would you bring specialized tools you’d never need on a normal vacation with you, repairing anything mechanical / construction-y / “fix with your hands” related.
Literally growing your own hay and corn to feed the cows and pigs raised on the family farm which were then butchered in the fall, and which EVERYONE - aunts, uncles, and cousins all the way down to around 4 or 5 years old - helped to do. Making sausage, smoking hams and bacon, massive gardens which we grandchildren worked in right alongside Mamaw when we were visiting, preserving all of the produce throughout the summer and fall (A MILLION HOURS on the front porch with Mamaw and the cousins and aunts - even Ampaw and dad or the uncles would help sometimes if they were there during the day. Picking apples from the orchard behind the house in the fall - again, everyone in the family including small children were involved and given jobs and then hauling out the massive antique manual cider press that evening and making cider in the barnyard, which was always enough to last most of the year as an occasional treat even when split among the 8 kids and their families - I’d say at least 150 gallons, maybe more.
I took German as my language requirement in undergrad specifically so I could talk to my grandfather with it, because it is still similar enough to regular German to have a conversation. He was so thrilled at the time, because even then the PA German language was well on the way to dying out after his generation started passing away, and he rarely had the opportunity to speak it other than with my grandmother.
As an American of German heritage, I now understand myself
I am not German, but there is just this soft spot I have for Germans I don't know where it comes from. Their practicality is cute and astonishing but also funny. 😂 But I feel behind their practicality, there is a soft spot but it's just not overtly shown but trust me...when they care, they are in it and not going to do hanky panky
Gave me shivers. Thanks for the compliment i guess :D
Wer A sagt, muss auch B sagen - German consistency
Its hard to make a german your friend. But if you do, its a friend forever.
You are correct, we may seem harsh but we are soft underneath it all 😁 😉
"Harte Schale, weicher Kern" 😇
You are the hugest british/german symbiose i ever seen =D
this!!
Am besten ist die "Räum- und Streupflicht" 😂😂😂😂😂
Ich lach mich schlapp
In germany we don‘t say „That was tasty“, we say „Kann man ohne Prügel essen“
as german i can say this is the most german thing i have seen in a long time. you don't even think about how metal a lot of the common phrases really are when you hear them your entire life.
0:28 Fast wieder Weihnachten 🎄, erinnert mich an letztes Jahr . 😂 Geschenk samt Kassenbon, für denn Fall dass die Jacke nicht passt und man Umtauschen muss. So Deutsch 😅
Vor allem sinnvoll.
We used to always do this in the UK in the 1970s/80s too. It was normal.
We thought our German grandmother was a bit cold...but she was being kind in her way. Probably trying to prepare us for the world and these silly people kept interfering 😂. Sorry Grandma we just didn't understand 😔
This was so good, as a German I now "gehe zum Lachen in den Keller." (going into the basement so nobody sees me laughing)
"Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Klamotten"
"Wer schön sein will, muss leiden"
"Nicht ganz schlecht"
"Der Kuchen ist nicht zu süß!"
("There is no bad weather, just bad clothes"
"Who wans to be pretty needs to suffer (for that)"
"Not bad" --> every other compliment is too much and could be sarcasm, beware
"The cake is not too sweet" --> best compliment for a sweet dish)
I have both cultures within me and celebrate this guy completely! :D😆😆😆
Honestly giving someone the receipt along with the gift is extremely thoughtful.
No, that would be disrespectful. You don't hand over the receipt, and you also remove all price tags from the present. There should not be any indication of the price when you gift something.
But you *keep* the receipt in case the person wants to exchange it.
Oh how true this is, Thanks Liam for your excellent channel💯
Meisterlich beobachtet und die deutsche Mentalität im Kern getroffen. Chapeau.
Das heißt "Hut ab!"
Ich brech ab, ich kann nicht mehr. 😅Du bist herrlich und es ist soooo wahr😂😂😂
“ICH WERDE SIE VERKLAGEN!!!” Got me on the floor 💀
This is relatable even to me as Dutchie, esp "Je bent toch nie van suiker"
Bruh... At this point I think you were talking about Serbia all along...🤣 Especially the "not made of sugar" part and the "trust me I know the way" part lol. And the dinner bread and cheese thing... I swear 💀
🥰
Vids like this really highlight how much of American culture came frome Germany. Most gifts I've gotten in my life come with the receipt, and "I'll sue" are the two most glaring examples
1:25 wer zum Arzt gehen kann, kann auch arbeiten
Du wirst es nicht glauben, den Spruch habe ich früher wirklich öfter gehört. ;-) Als ich Kind war, haben das die erwachsenen Männer öfter gesagt. Damals gab es für deutsche Männer nur Arbeit, Arbeit, Arbeit.
I am so proud to be a German :D
Me too :D
:D
U can't say that in Germany
@@Joker-ik1sp why?
"German nationalism is on the rise!"
The bite in the rose gets me every damn time
We don't say "und". To long. We say "Na?"
I love these! They are spot on, yet with a friendly wink. 😂
Da hast du mal wieder "120%" gegeben. "Nicht gemeckert ist genug gelobt", in diesem Sinne ✌️
"Was muss, das muss" hit me kinda differently as a Hungarian. We often say "Menni kell, még ha cigánygyerek potyog az égből is!" (We have to go, even if gypsy children are falling from the sky!) or "Ha meg kell baszódni, hát meg kell baszódni!" (If we have to get fucked, then we have to get fucked!).
Technically, you could also call in and tell that you're on sick leave, but in some places it is completely unpaid, and in some other places, only 70% of your normal wage is due, and you lose any additional benefits (e.g. the extra money you'd get for working in the afternoon or night shift), plus you'd need a doctors's note later to prove that you were actually sick.
Lol, I don't get what the problem with the falling gypsy children is. But it's funny.
@@jagan2 just another way of being casually racist in every little thing you say
@@southnoon5808 you mean that Hungary has some racist discrimination against gypsies? so gypsy children falling from the sky is seen as a calamity?
btw, I think it's quite a common discrimination in Europe..
Да!!!
"Разбуди тебя в 3 часа ночи, и ты должен всё рассказать так, чтоб от зубов отскакивало."
В России тоже так говорят)
Yes!!!
"Wake you up at 3 a.m. and you have to tell everything so it bounces off the teeth"
(Russian idiom:
literally - "it bounces off the teeth"
means - "learnt by heart")
In Russia we also say this :)
He is more german then most germans
