2:28 guys, we DO NOT scream like that
…just out of curiosity: have you ever been to a German football match? *grin* We most certainly DO scream like that - just not during ordinary conversation… heheheh…
@@Roberternst72 no shit Sherlock 🤦♀️
And Germans don‘t shout all the time. This is another (totally incorrect) meme from US movies. The Nazis had a tendency to shout all the time, but that is not the natural melody of the German language.
If anything, most Americans today shout when they speak haha. I feel like they don't have to separate between inside and outside volume
In part they did it when using microphones (which is all that's left to hear) because the technique was not very good and they needed it to be understood.
I always get frightened when people shout when they want to speak German. I don't understand a word. German is spoken just as normally as other languages. If a film about Germany or with German actors comes to the cinema in another country, it is 99 percent likely to be a Nazi film. People almost only know Germany from these films. German is not spoken like in these films. Please speak normally next time. We Germans are not loudmouths.
You have to consider that most Germans do not shout all day like soldiers in Hollywood's WW2 movies 😉 Greetings from Berlin.
Number 6 Röntgen (x-ray). Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was the scientist who discovered the x-rays. So we named it after him
Kreuzschlitzschraubenzieher is not screwdriver... its something more specific. Screwdriver is Schraubenzieher,
I think nowadays professionals actually say „SchraubenDREHER“, which is even closer to the English expression.
Sch = English sh
Tsch = englisch ch (rarely used)
Z = Ts
Ch = no English counterpart. We distinguish between the soft CH and the harsh CH. The soft one is pronounced like the H in „huge“. The harsh one is pronounced like J in „Jalapeño“.
Ei = Englisch i
Au = English ou in „house“
Eu = English oy like in „oyster“
Ä = like A in „apple“
Ö = similar to U in „turn“
Ü = similar to the OU in „you“ if you pronounce it with a strong British accent
for the German „ch“ (without a S or a T in front) I have sometimes seen a transcription as „kh“ or „gh“ in some languages. (The sound is similar to the sound of inhaling during yawning.)
@@Roberternst72yes, KH would be a fitting transcription. I don’t know about GH
@@afjo972The „gh“ s at the end of the Latin letter transcriptions of some place names in Turkic and… I want to say „Caucasian“(?) languages are stand-ins for a sound similar to the German „ch“, e.g. „Karabagh“.
As a temporary workaround for „ö“ and „ü“ you could actually opt for the Silesian dialect pronounciations: read „ö“ like „eh“ and „ü“ like „ee“…
6:43 okay, that one is mean… Kreuzschlitzschraubenzieher is not just any old „screwdriver“, but one for particular cross-slit headed screws…
Talking with Bavarians will make you come across "Oachkatzlschwoaf", which is strong dialect for Eichkätzchenschweif and means squirrel tail. It's always pulled out when we meet foreigners, because not even northern Germans can pronounce it correctly xD
I imagine myself pronouncing Indian words 🤣
50 languages belonging to three language families... Hindu Urdu belong the indo-german family, Malaylam something completely different.., 😆😅
I couldn't even read the words 🤣
Often said but yes, we don't scream XD
Streichholzschachtel It's still easy 😂 the small version of it, i.e. "small matchbox" Is called Streichholzschächtelchen And if this little box of matches comes from the Czech Republic, that's what it called tschechisches Streichholzschächtelchen That's the endbos when learning German - you need German skills C2 for this pronunciation 😂
The Scotish people can pronounce the German "ch" beccause they had the word "Loch" which is the same sound
Loch exists in german too- means hole in english.
This one was funny and you really butchered our words :D maybe put them in google translate and let them read by AI voice to you after trying? ;)
I‘m sorry to disappoint you - for most words you aren’t even close. You should not try to pronounce German words with an „English pronunciation logic“ . German works like Tagalog or Thai, in 95% of the cases you say what is written (except for „combined“ sounds like „ch“ or „sch“). I recommend you let google or dict.leo pronounce the words for you so you get an Idea what it should actually sound like.
The German „Ch“ is not like the English „ch“ like in „China“. It‘s more like an „h“ with a wind-sound, similar to when people imitate Russian people laughing and saying „Cha-Cha-Cha“ (Ha-Ha-Ha). The „sch“ is like an English „sh“.
The largest word is this one: "Donaudampfschiffsfahrtsgesellschaft" and means "Danube Steamship Company"
You should react to Barbaras Rhabarberbar (feat. Marti Fischer) from Bodo Wartke: czcams.com/video/ZYkBf0dbs5I/video.html 😀
OMG😅
The dots on a, o and u mark the letters as so called „Umlaute“, which you got in other Germanic languages as well, although not in modern English. At least the „ä“ existed in the precursor of modern English in some form though, and even was the first letter of the language‘s name, iirc spelled: „Ænglisc“ (pronounced approximately like „Ayngliskch“, I guess)
What you need to know is that the suffix„-chen“ is the diminutive form. So it’s basically the small version of something.
Example: „QuietscheentCHEN“ means „LITTLE squeaking duck“. The normal version would be „Quietscheente“. It’s a compound word, so basically it’s a word consisting of two words: quietsche + Ente
Another example: Eichhörnchen. It literally means „little oak horn“.
Without the „-Chen“ it would be „Eichhorn“ which would be similar to the direct English „oak horn“
It’s a suffix. A prefix is at the start of the word.
Parbrahm 😂was Most Right 😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤
Hihi 😂 ❤❤❤❤❤ from Germany 🇩🇪👋👋👋👋
He had realy talent ! Weiter so 😊
In german the i is pronounced like in english 'will'.
The german e is pronounced like in letter.
The german ie is pronounced like english ee, like in need.
But the german ei is pronounced like the english i in bite.
Try to don't mix this up cause this is very important to pronounce correctly many german words 😉🤓
Greetings from Berlin 😎
When you ask for Matchbox, you get a toy car. Spelling you can check with google translater 😉 But a few translations are not truely right. They used some more difficult words in spelling to make it harder than it is. Rubber duck is only Gummiente and Screwdriver is Schraubendreher. Kreuzschlitz is a additional description, which kind of Screwdriver. Cross-slot Screwdriver is Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher.
you sound great!
You did already well. Easiest and quickest improvement is to look up e and i and how they are pronounced in german. Especially if they come together in a word as ei like Rührei. You typically fall back to the english version, but don't worry we germans have the opposite issue and mix this combination up in english too.
I am impressed. You messed up "Rührei", obviously due to the false impression, that it was similar to something familiar to you and after that it got less enthusiastic and somehow lost it, but for the first words, you had a pretty good intuition, which the different elements of the compound words were, and you got close enough to the pronounciation, that I would have understood, what you were saying. That might not sound like a lot of praise, but I have heard americans try this and they even used an online program to say the words for them, but did not come that close.
Most of those words were compound words and I guess, they would have been rather easy for you, if you had been aware, which parts corresponded to each element of the compound. Kreuzschlitzschraubenzieher (actually a special kind of screwdriver) for example consists of the words Kreuz (cross) Schlitz (slit) Schrauben (screws) Zieher (puller). Quietscheentchen is a little more difficult, it consists of two individual words: "Quietsche" (squeaking) and "Entchen" (little duck). Rührei consists of "Rühr" (stired) and "Ei" (egg).
German compound words can be discurraging at first, but if you really want to learn the language, they work to your advantage. Due to the high reliance on them, German works with about half as much vocabulary as the english language. And once you learned some words, you have a high chance, that you can figure out, what other compound words might mean, even if you do not yet know all the elements.
and we dont scream and sound agrassiv when we speak its more fluined
Quietscheentchen 😂😂😂😂
German is a warrior language :-)
Actually, you pronounced the long ones better than the short ones.
Scrambled eggs = say it like Rü_he_ei
It's hard when you have no one to correct XD.
Exercise makes the Master 😊😊😊
Röntgen invented the x.ray
Eichhörnchen, Streichholzschachtel ... you said them VERY GOOD 👍
Ich kann nicht aufhören zu lachen :D Cant stop laughting :D
Try the rhubarb barbara rap.
Hey, I love your videos. If you're interested, I'd be happy to invite you to Germany for a few days.
Just use Google Translate and have the German words read out to you. ei is pronounced like the English i
Hahaha so Funny. We Germans put words together. Can sometimes be complicated. But very precise.
1. Eich - Hörnchen (Squirrel), i think Eich is Oak or basicly Wood??, Hmm dont know, Hörnchen is Squirell
2. Streichholz (Match) - Schachtel (Box) get Streichholzschachtel - (Wierd translation, A piece of wood is pushed over the box.)
3. Freundchaft (easy Friendship), Beziehung (easy Relation), Beziehungen (easy Realtions)
4. Rühr (Scrambling "Vermischen") - Ei (easy, means Egg) - Both words result in Rührei.
5. Dont know how to explain. 2 Words, Arbeitlos, Versicherung ... Okay i cant explain this, but yes this is a real Word!
6. Röntgen (Uff ok this is hard to explain too, in German we often say "Durchleuchten" aehm "Durch" through the Body and "Leuchten" means "light up") Yeah my English is Bad. Dont Just me for that :D PLEASE!
7. Quietscheentchen, japp. Quietsche is a word about Rubber sounds like "Quick Quick" if rubber is wet. Entchen is a little cute Duck. :D Hahaha i have to laugh
8. Tschechien ... Yeeeah a german thing. You can say Tschechia (Czechia) both is right
9. Screwdriver is a important thing. Schraube (Screw), Driver (Dreher). In German we differentiate between cross and slot. Result (EASY :D) Schlitz(Slit)schraubendreher und Kreuz(Cross)schraubendreher. Ah Come on thats easy :D
10. Aehm, okay, i try to explain ... aehm ... You wear shoes with one piece of metal (Okay, that doesn't explain why it's called) But with "Laufen" means "You walk with a thing under your feet" on Ice
I hope the of you understood me ... (Dont just me for my English please) Love You!
Very funny 😂
Nice react 😊😊😊
Hi...react to ; Kaya Yanar 😊😊😊
To learn to pronounce German words break them into several pieces
Then say this pieces again and again and at the end put it together
rofl 🤣He did better than her
😂😂😂😂😂
Streichholzschüttel = Match shake😁
6:02 To be fair, Quietsche-Entchen get their German name from the SQUEAKING (=„quietschen“), and the „chen“ at the end is a diminutive, therefore „Quietsche-Entchen“ is more like „squeaking duckling“. „Rubber duck“ more literally translates to „Gummi-Ente“ - like the one in the Loriot cartoon sketch about the two gentlemen in their hotel bath tub…
You don’t need to copy my comments. They can read
@@afjo972…you might want to check the time stamps… or, you know, sort the comments by time and date… according to the ones I see I was three to four minutes earlier than you with my remark on Quietscheentchen… so, who’s copying whom, Byomkesh Bakshi?
use Google and listen to it
as bad and funny as your pronouncation of german brands :D
Sorry, but i had to dislike this particular video, although i liked your other ones. Why are you yelling in a language you can't even pronounce properly? This is very disrespectful of you. How'd you feel, if we Germans are doing this to and with one of your Indian languages? I'm certain that you would feel annoyed and upset and disappointed. Any language sounds aggressive when you are yelling and cursing. I know this should be just fun and entertaining, but it felt disrespectful to me.
Ok, this is how you feel but I (also German) don't feel disrespected by someone screaming EICHHÖRNCHEN!. Just funny and harmless for me
@@lasyx9786 It depends on the tone = Der Ton macht die Musik. Dissonant sounds are never pleasent to our ears, no matter in what language.
Meine Güte! Sie sind das personifizierte Klischee eines Humor befreiten Deutschen! Zum lachen gehen sie bestimmt in den Keller, damit sie keiner sieht! 😜
Eichhörnchen und Streichholzschächtelchen he was right, but that not importent words. The rest was rubbish.
