When I was a little child and watched cartoons and there would be a Gift Shop I'll always be like: „Warum sollte jemand Gift verkaufen??“ - „Why should someone be selling Poison?”
Ganz ähnlich mit dem 'Drug Store' ... Warum gibt es für Drogen ganz spezielle Geschäfte??? Dafür gibt es doch die 'Dealer' - also eigentlich 'Händler' ... ;) Such a funny world!
Im from Austria, and we call the "Wiener Würstchen", "Frankfurter Würstchen" because the person who invented it was a Wiener but he invented it in Frankfurt. xD
Do you have both? Because we have both and Wiener Würstchen is basically the enhanced version (at least imho). "After his apprenticeship he went to Vienna and added beef to the Frankfurter sausages, which was prohibited in Germany."
The first time I heard “Gesundheit” in English/American was in disney’s tangled Eugene said to Rapunzel “Gesundheit” after she said her name and I was like: wait what did you just say 😹😹😹
I JUST rewatched that scene in english to see if that's true (because i always watch it in german (last time 3 days ago)) and I live it haha. Kinda funny, too, considering Rapunzel ist one of two Disney movies based on a german fairytale 🙈

It s kinda funny that the people in Vienna and in whole Austria say to the Wiener Würstchen (the Sausage) "Frankfurter" and that is a City in Germany only Germans use the word wiener wurst
Maybe some people get them confused, but any butcher will tell you there is a difference, mine sells both. Frankfurter is a pork sausage and gets smoked, which makes for a distinctly brown skin. Wiener sausage is much paler and made from a mix of pork and beef. Wieners are better cold as a snack or on a sandwich, while Frankfurter should be eaten hot, in a stew, or as a hotdog. Btw, funny thing: I don't know a single german that makes hotdogs with Frankfurter, we use a Dutch sausage called Frikandel.
@@readingdino711 The swiss people eat the austrians aswell, we have 'Wienerli'. And we eat people from Luxembourg, the 'Luxemburgerli' are a type of pastries, as well as 'Berliner'
I'm german and I often watch american Series on Netflix and everywhere else and I was really bamboozled when I heard an American saying "kaput" in that serie.
I'm American (from California) and I've literally heard of and used every single term she me mentioned except "Blietzkrieg". That was a good list! I've been to Germany 3 times, by now, and I'm always amazed by how much German I can understand. 😊
About the word Angst, I noticed we also have something similar in Portuguese: “Angústia”... which means the English “angst”... in fact, this word comes from Latin 🤓 “angustus / angustia” ... and that’s where we all have it from.
In Germany there is a village called Höfingen. Around 200 years ago someone left the village to settle in Texas like many germans back then, leading to the origin of Texas-German. Shortly after he left his brother build a house apart from the village and because everyone knew that his brother went to Texas, they jokingly called the location of the new house Texas. Today everyone wonders when they come through the village "Höfingen-Texas" next to Höfingen.

Well, America is a Land of Immigrants. In the USA there are many cities that Wer built originally by European immigrants or "conquerors" . Like Hamburg (New York), Munich (North Dakota), Stuttgart (Arkansas), Augsburg (Arkansas), Bismarck (North Dakota), New Braunfels (Texas), Minden (Nebraska), Schaumburg (Illinois), New Berlin (Illinois), Flensburg (Minnesota), Frankenmuth (Michigan), Fredericksburg (Texas), Dresden (Ohio), New Berlin (Wisconsin), Kiel (Wisconsin), New Holstein (Wisconsin), Hanover (Pennsylvania), Berlin (New Hampshire), Hanover (New Hampshire), Paderborn (Illinois), Karlsruhe (North Dakota), New Leipzig (North Dakota), New Ulm (Minnesota), Meppen (Illinois), New Trier (Minnesota), Bremen (Georgia), Weimar (Texas), Bingen (Washington) or, Brunswick (Braunschweig) and Anaheim (California) and so on. Those are all "german" cities. That's why the American English uses many many German words. German immigrants bring their languages ;). BTW: familynames like Miller, Smith, Raiter, Schroeder, Mayer are Müller, Schmitt/Schmit/Schmidt/Schmid, Reiter/Raiter, Schröder, Meier/Mayer/Mayr/Maier/Mair in German. Trump has german Ancestors. But my English is too bad to explain. Sorry for that. Source: german Wikipedia (but also known by me).
Maybe the reason you didn't hear a lot of these words before is because they're very specific terms that aren't really used in everyday speach. Like "Wunderkind" - in what situation would you use that? But if you read an article about a classical musician you might read that word.
This video is awesome. As a German, it is so interesting for me to see which words are used in English and see you trying to pronounce it and guess its meaning. Maybe you can do something like this again. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
6:05 Nailed the pronunciation of *DoppelgÄnger* Immediatly following up by trying it again and ignoring the "Umlaut" I love it when people try to speak german, in my day to day life i dont realize how difficult the german pronunciation can be. Keep up the good work man
I just have one thing to say about the first word kindergarten. As an apprentice in a kindergarten in Germany right now I have to say that it’s not as „easy and different from school“ or the American Kindergarten as she said. We have to do activities with the kids to get them school ready, for example improving their speach, their fine motor skills and so on. These aren’t just activities like „singing and crafting“, we have to think about how we can improve their skills with what we do. I think it’s really unfortunate that kindergarten in Germany is so talked down on, like all those prejudices like „oh you work in a kindergarten? What a life! Just sipping coffee all day and sitting on your butt!“ it’s much more than that, it’s a hard job yet giving so much back. Sorry if my Englisch is not that good, not a native speaker. But I hope you can understand why this bothers me a little. Thank you! Just got your video requested and think it’s really good, you are very personable :)
If you work there I guess it's pretty hard. But for a kid it's not really more than singing and doing crafts Wenn du in einem Kindergarten arbeitest kann ich mir schon vorstellen das es ziemlich hart ist. Aber für ein Kind ist es nicht viel mehr als singen und basteln.
@@agreeen Eigentlich doch, ein 8 Stunden Tag im Kindergarten ist für ein Kind genauso wie ein Vollzeitjob. Nur weil es Spaß macht, heißt das nicht, dass es nicht anstrengend ist!
Ah. I understand. Actually it's the same with Pre-school in the USA. Our Pre-school or Pre-Kindergarten is equivalent to your Kindergarten. People think we just let children play all day. When I worked in the school system, we actually had a curriculum for pre-K or pre-school, and had to plan out their activities to also develop cognitive abilities, reading, writing, social, etc. The difference is our Kindergarten. Our Kindergarten focuses on subjects most of your first years may focus on. Pre-school begins between 3 and 4 years old in the USA, Kindergarten is usually between 5 and 6 years old. While they are a little different, they are equally treated with little respect. I hate that.

10:20 She was pretty polite not to mention that "Stuhl" is also used for feces. And funnily enough the dictionary just told me it's the same in english for "stool"

Four more words of German origin who always trigger me used in English are: 01. abseiling (noun)/to abseil (verb). These are always used in connection with trekking, hiking, mountaineering or climbing and found on various videos of (mostly US-American) CZcamsrs vlogging their activities during a trip usually to the Swiss, Austrian and Bavarian Alps. The term seems to become more popular recently. 02. Just saw an instructional sign "How to beergarden" with instructions aimed at Anglo tourists on a CZcams Video about a trip to the Bavarian capital Munich. I've never seen that term anywhere else before but it makes perfect sense to me... 03. Uber. The German expression Über (meaning above, over or superior depending on the context.) Think of the Uber taxi service or the Ubersoldier... 04. The Fuhrer (Der Führer/The Leader). We Germans refer mockingly to him as "GröFaZ". This German abbreviation stands for "Grösster Führer aller Zeiten (Greatest Leader of All Times), a term which is used in irony. He led us into WWII and is responsible for the infamous Clausewitz order (the declaration of the German capital Berlin to become a frontier city thus costing many additional lives in the last days of the war). He should have remained in Austria where he was born. Instead he chose to to get Austria "Back into The Reich". And why did he repeat the epic fail of napoleon Bonaparte to invade Russia/the Soviet Union? Napoleon made it to the Beresina; Hitler to the Volga. Both were surprised by the harsh Russian winter and collapsing supply lines. Also a war on two fronts can hardly be won. He was an idiot to believe that Stalin would give up once Moscow had been fallen...
Oh noo. You skipped the actual meaning of "Doppelgänger". I hope you still watched it. It literally kinda means "double-walker" or "two-walker" which I think is pretty funny even for a german to think about it. We just use it in a way where we don't think about each word for itself. ("Doppel" - Double/Twice , "Gänger" - Someone who is walking --- really, this term will never be used in the german langauge)
The english term "Doppelgänger" has exactly the same meaning as the german term. In English you could use also "stand-in" (as subjective), like: "He's my stand-in on the stage." (if an actor is substituted by another one). To me, "stand-in" sounds somehow funny too, because translated in German it means "einstehen", which means "onestanding", so the question is arising, wether there could be also something like "twostanding" or "threestanding". In fact "einstehen für" means to take accountability for something.
A small difference? A Doppelgänger is just a "lookalike person" - and dare to mix it up with Zwilling (Twin) 😂 A clone (refering to living creatures) is someone made as an exact copy of someones DNA. Thats just more than a "little" differeence - is´nt it? ... 😜🤣😂
Dude im addicted to your videos. If you ever come over to germany it would be nice to show you some of the great stuff we got over here. Like food, beer or just nice places. Whe have a lot of castles, Fußball and other stuff 😉 Keep it up with your great vids mate 🤟
Now think about english words germans use lmao. even in such wrong situations tbh. i'm sure many english-speaking persons would be craaaaaaazy confused hearing germans use english words in a inappropriate way
Examples: English: Handy Useful German: Handy Mobile Phone We call a social media backlash a "Shitstorm". Even Angela Merkel once used that word because she once declared the internet as "new territory"(as in 'its a new technology' which was in 2013 or some) and received a "Shitstorm" lol can't find more atm but theres plenty
@@gellomi1776 and btw, while I'm not a fan of Merkel, that shitstorm was undeserved. Her quote was taken out of context and that way it sounded ridiculous. But viewed in context, it was actually a proper and honest observation of the state of the discussion that was going on.
"Safe" is also a good example. German teenagers use or used it as confirmation for plans that were made. Like for example: A: Do you want to see a Movie? B: Safe Bruder (bro)
Bro' I love your videos man! Let me add some if you don't mind... The "Stein" ist not being used in Germany anymore but a "Stein" is the short from "Steinkrug" literally translating to "Stonemug". Funny thing to know about this, upon a couple of years ago they used to serve "die Maß Bier" (meaning: 1 liter of beer) at the Oktoberfest actually in Stonemugs untill the "Wiesn Wirte" (Brewers/Hosts of the tents) were cought cheating selling the mugs half empty with too much foam on top. Since then they were forced to replace the traditionally used Stonemugs with glasses so the customers could actually see whats in it. The word "stool" or "Stuhl" is actually being used the exact same way in german and english. It is not a piece of furniture you sit on. It is what comes out of your thing you sit on and sometimes doctors even ask you for your "stool sample" or "Stuhlprobe" "Schadenfreude" is when your mate brings a bunch of beer to you and your homies table and when he tries to place the tray on the table, he ends up spilling it all over himself. Everybody breaks out in laughter, that is "Schadenfreude". It's not when something actually bad happens. Best wishes from Germany!
12:03 There's an interesting thing to note here, the german meaning is actually even a little closer to the english meaning than some (german) people might think. We also have the word "Furcht" which literally means "Fear". We use Angst and Furcht interchangeably and Angst is absolutely more common when people just want to say that they're scared. However, even in german Angst and Furcht are not the exact same words. Originally Furcht meant to be scared of a real threat or danger (when a dog is gnarling at you for example) while Angst meant to be scared kinda irrationally (like being scared of the dark) - coming a little closer to the english anxiety and sharing more resemblance with "phobia".
Just bc you like schnapps doesnt mean you have to drunk much or often ^^ I have nice tadting liquors (my faves are the walnut-met and cherry-rosepetal schnapps) but they've been lasting me for 3 yrs now. My friends like it too but we dont kipp it hinter die binde like its some cheap stuff. You can enjoy things in small doaages too :)
the proper translation for "über" would be "super". making it especially funny, since germans use "super" to replace "über" and americans use "uber" to replace "super".
It might depend on where he grew up. If the area he lived/lives in had had heavy German immigration he would know most of them. NYC, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and large parts of the midwest had heavy German immigration, and even if your ethnic background was different, you'd know if not used yourself the words she mention. If he came from down south or out west, not so much.
5:40 kaput is a word that can save yu everywhere. I mean, I'm Czech and I can't speak Italien, just really few words and once our car broke and we have to go to Italien car servis, just the place where they would repair it, and all we had to say was 'auto kaput' and they immediately knew 😂
What I remember from my exchange to Danville, California in 2001 is Aufbau Principle. Eugene (the chemistry teacher) wrote it on the blackboard and I started to giggle. So I was asked why. And then I explained that Aufbau is a German word and also explained the meaning of it. [ Aufbau is a male noun (der Aufbau) and describes something that can be placed on something (structures for example, but also cars), and it can mean the way something is built up. ] The story to German being used in chemistry is, that, if I remember correctly, in the 18th century Germany was THE country to go to when you wanted to study chemistry. In order to do that you also had to learn German.
Right up to the first world war Germany has been the land of chemistry Cis trans isomers are described with E/Z which is German for entgegen and zusammen
Hi James, this my first video of yours that I've seen, and I enjoyed it very much - thank you! You are an appealing and entertaining young man, and I appreciate your curiosity about these loanwords. I am already a fan of German Girl in America , so thanks for spreading the word about her. BTW, some words, like spiel and schmutz, probably came to English from Yiddish speaking immigrants who arrived in late 1800s and early 1900s. Those two words are the same in both Yiddish and German ;-)
I would not even list the word. That would be like listing words like "word", "house", "mouse" or "water", because the german words are pretty close as well ("Wort", "Haus", "Maus", "Wasser"). Both languages share common roots.
@@christopherrensor4780 Exactly. She said she listed it because it has Germanic origins. But English is a Germanic language as well. So this is nothing special.
I've read that during times of plague people said "Gesundheit" when someone was sneezing, like we still do today, but they would wish it to themselves in order not to get sick
I’ve been to Colorado for a year in Highschool and Heard- the word kaputt quite a few times. I felt like it was used more in the meaning of something not working anymore than being damaged. (In Germany its also being used to express the feeling of being exhausted eG after a long day of work)
I was very suprised to hear kitschig in there cause Iam Austrian and I actually thought this was and originated English word we just addopted into German (Sorry for my horrible English)
I think its a word either the jewish adopted from german or the other way around, I would guess you could find it in regions with larger jewish communities
@@resaj.s2398 Right. Just like many words on this list. Schmutz, kaput(t) and Spiel are yiddish words that are used in both German and English. Other words are schwitzen and meshugge, which are used in both languages too.

great video on the german language, the words and the meaning of it....check out the Dutch language you will be suprised how much the English , the German and the Dutch language have in common!!
Ja, isn't she just great? I'm also going to Germany, probably next year once the bans are lifted. Mainly to serve in charity work and tour some universities, and I have learned SO much from Felicia! There's a few other channels I could recommend if you want. And I have and continue to use ALL of the words she's mentioned, I grew up both in Northern Minnesota and all over Montana. You have a nice channel, I think I will stick around.
I also cant wait to get to Germany, I had bought plane tickets back in January to Hamburg and I'm so bummed I couldn't go. The airline refunded every penny so no loss. But I will go as soon as the travel ban lifts. Maybe see you there !
There's a rap group from NY I think that's called "the doppelgangaz".. As a German, I was quite confused but very proud that they used a German word as their name 😅
Asterisk to 1) 'Kindergarten' in Switzerland describes the same it does in the US. Many of the words are not commonly used because they either refer to a a nieche object with a specific background ('stein' for example) or because they are essentially redundant because there is either an established synonym (i.e. 'prodigy' for 'wunderkind', 'bless you' for 'Gesundheit', 'wiener' for 'dachshund') , or the explanation is apparently simple enough and the demand for the word isn't huge (for instance 'Zeitgeist' = mentality in a specific time period).
In my area in Germany some people use the word "stein" for beermugs. Its a special kind of mug. Keeps your beer cold. Much better than a glas. I have a few at home. So good
What she didn't know apparently (despite coming from Munich even, where this is actually super common): Those beer mugs/ "Steins" make a lot of sense. The word "Stein" in this case comes from the german term "Steingut" which is the material from which the traditional bavarian beer mugs (as well as other old dishes) were made. Steingut is sort of like porcellain but thicker and not as classy. It also usually has more of a grey-ish color naturally. The transparent glass beer mugs that you know from Oktoberfest for example, aren't really "Stein" or "Steingut". We call them a "Maß" or "Maßkrug", which refers to the mug but is also at the same time used as a measurement. It's a little over 1 litre.
Some of these words are prominently used by US people with relations to jewish culture. Words like "Kitsch" or "Schmutz", so you might have never heard of them. This is a whole new topic. Even germans are not aware of how much words of yiddish/hebrew descent we share. Even one of the most famous words "blau" (drunk) and "zocken" (playing games or rip somebody off) is originally hebrew. Further read: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_deutscher_W%C3%B6rter_aus_dem_Hebr%C3%A4ischen_und_Jiddischen Also: I think "Blitzkrieg" better translates to "flash war"
14:44 "Blitzkrieg." Nobody: James: "Yes YEEEES!" Well my Mitbürger, we got him, he is now one of uns. Someone give this man a citizenship, a Immigrationspreis and a Bundesverdienstkreuz.

It s kinda funny that the people in Vienna and in whole Austria say to the Wiener Würstchen (the Sausage) "Frankfurter" and that is a City in Germany only Germans use the word wiener wurst

Haha, realtalk i mean i have never noticed it :D
@@patrickgiesinger3697 bei uns in der Nähe vom Allgäu auch 😆
Maybe some people get them confused, but any butcher will tell you there is a difference, mine sells both.
Frankfurter is a pork sausage and gets smoked, which makes for a distinctly brown skin. Wiener sausage is much paler and made from a mix of pork and beef. Wieners are better cold as a snack or on a sandwich, while Frankfurter should be eaten hot, in a stew, or as a hotdog.
Btw, funny thing: I don't know a single german that makes hotdogs with Frankfurter, we use a Dutch sausage called Frikandel.

About the word Angst, I noticed we also have something similar in Portuguese: “Angústia”... which means the English “angst”... in fact, this word comes from Latin 🤓 “angustus / angustia” ... and that’s where we all have it from.

Have you ever heard about "Texas-German". Maybe it might be interesting for you.
He did a reaction video to that already.
In Germany there is a village called Höfingen. Around 200 years ago someone left the village to settle in Texas like many germans back then, leading to the origin of Texas-German. Shortly after he left his brother build a house apart from the village and because everyone knew that his brother went to Texas, they jokingly called the location of the new house Texas. Today everyone wonders when they come through the village "Höfingen-Texas" next to Höfingen.

Well, America is a Land of Immigrants. In the USA there are many cities that Wer built originally by European immigrants or "conquerors" . Like Hamburg (New York), Munich (North Dakota), Stuttgart (Arkansas), Augsburg (Arkansas), Bismarck (North Dakota), New Braunfels (Texas), Minden (Nebraska), Schaumburg (Illinois), New Berlin (Illinois), Flensburg (Minnesota), Frankenmuth (Michigan), Fredericksburg (Texas), Dresden (Ohio), New Berlin (Wisconsin), Kiel (Wisconsin), New Holstein (Wisconsin), Hanover (Pennsylvania), Berlin (New Hampshire), Hanover (New Hampshire), Paderborn (Illinois), Karlsruhe (North Dakota), New Leipzig (North Dakota), New Ulm (Minnesota), Meppen (Illinois), New Trier (Minnesota), Bremen (Georgia), Weimar (Texas), Bingen (Washington) or, Brunswick (Braunschweig) and Anaheim (California) and so on. Those are all "german" cities. That's why the American English uses many many German words. German immigrants bring their languages ;). BTW: familynames like Miller, Smith, Raiter, Schroeder, Mayer are Müller, Schmitt/Schmit/Schmidt/Schmid, Reiter/Raiter, Schröder, Meier/Mayer/Mayr/Maier/Mair in German. Trump has german Ancestors.

Maybe the reason you didn't hear a lot of these words before is because they're very specific terms that aren't really used in everyday speach. Like "Wunderkind" - in what situation would you use that? But if you read an article about a classical musician you might read that word.
I heard kaput in movies a couple of times and was really confused, didn't know they used the word in English 😂😂

I just have one thing to say about the first word kindergarten. As an apprentice in a kindergarten in Germany right now I have to say that it’s not as „easy and different from school“ or the American Kindergarten as she said. We have to do activities with the kids to get them school ready, for example improving their speach, their fine motor skills and so on. These aren’t just activities like „singing and crafting“, we have to think about how we can improve their skills with what we do. I think it’s really unfortunate that kindergarten in Germany is so talked down on, like all those prejudices like „oh you work in a kindergarten? What a life! Just sipping coffee all day and sitting on your butt!“ it’s much more than that, it’s a hard job yet giving so much back. Sorry if my Englisch is not that good, not a native speaker. But I hope you can understand why this bothers me a little. Thank you!
Just got your video requested and think it’s really good, you are very personable :)
If you work there I guess it's pretty hard.
But for a kid it's not really more than singing and doing crafts
Wenn du in einem Kindergarten arbeitest kann ich mir schon vorstellen das es ziemlich hart ist.
Aber für ein Kind ist es nicht viel mehr als singen und basteln.

@@agreeen So formuliert hast du sicher recht
Ah. I understand. Actually it's the same with Pre-school in the USA. Our Pre-school or Pre-Kindergarten is equivalent to your Kindergarten. People think we just let children play all day. When I worked in the school system, we actually had a curriculum for pre-K or pre-school, and had to plan out their activities to also develop cognitive abilities, reading, writing, social, etc. The difference is our Kindergarten. Our Kindergarten focuses on subjects most of your first years may focus on. Pre-school begins between 3 and 4 years old in the USA, Kindergarten is usually between 5 and 6 years old. While they are a little different, they are equally treated with little respect. I hate that.

The funniest German work pronounced in English is: Rumpelstilzchen.
Watched "once upon a time" and fell in love with this English pronounced word 😁
Four more words of German origin who always trigger me used in English are:
01. abseiling (noun)/to abseil (verb). These are always used in connection with trekking, hiking, mountaineering or climbing and found on various videos of (mostly US-American) CZcamsrs vlogging their activities during a trip usually to the Swiss, Austrian and Bavarian Alps. The term seems to become more popular recently.
02. Just saw an instructional sign "How to beergarden" with instructions aimed at Anglo tourists on a CZcams Video about a trip to the Bavarian capital Munich. I've never seen that term anywhere else before but it makes perfect sense to me...
03. Uber. The German expression Über (meaning above, over or superior depending on the context.) Think of the Uber taxi service or the Ubersoldier...
04. The Fuhrer (Der Führer/The Leader). We Germans refer mockingly to him as "GröFaZ". This German abbreviation stands for "Grösster Führer aller Zeiten (Greatest Leader of All Times), a term which is used in irony. He led us into WWII and is responsible for the infamous Clausewitz order (the declaration of the German capital Berlin to become a frontier city thus costing many additional lives in the last days of the war). He should have remained in Austria where he was born. Instead he chose to to get Austria "Back into The Reich". And why did he repeat the epic fail of napoleon Bonaparte to invade Russia/the Soviet Union? Napoleon made it to the Beresina; Hitler to the Volga. Both were surprised by the harsh Russian winter and collapsing supply lines. Also a war on two fronts can hardly be won. He was an idiot to believe that Stalin would give up once Moscow had been fallen...
Oh noo. You skipped the actual meaning of "Doppelgänger". I hope you still watched it.
It literally kinda means "double-walker" or "two-walker" which I think is pretty funny even for a german to think about it. We just use it in a way where we don't think about each word for itself. ("Doppel" - Double/Twice , "Gänger" - Someone who is walking --- really, this term will never be used in the german langauge)
The english term "Doppelgänger" has exactly the same meaning as the german term. In English you could use also "stand-in" (as subjective), like: "He's my stand-in on the stage." (if an actor is substituted by another one). To me, "stand-in" sounds somehow funny too, because translated in German it means "einstehen", which means "onestanding", so the question is arising, wether there could be also something like "twostanding" or "threestanding". In fact "einstehen für" means to take accountability for something.

I think "public viewing" can be quit disturbing for an american😅
"Safe" is also a good example.

Greetings from Germany
Bro' I love your videos man! Let me add some if you don't mind...
The "Stein" ist not being used in Germany anymore but a "Stein" is the short from "Steinkrug" literally translating to "Stonemug". Funny thing to know about this, upon a couple of years ago they used to serve "die Maß Bier" (meaning: 1 liter of beer) at the Oktoberfest actually in Stonemugs untill the "Wiesn Wirte" (Brewers/Hosts of the tents) were cought cheating selling the mugs half empty with too much foam on top. Since then they were forced to replace the traditionally used Stonemugs with glasses so the customers could actually see whats in it.
The word "stool" or "Stuhl" is actually being used the exact same way in german and english. It is not a piece of furniture you sit on. It is what comes out of your thing you sit on and sometimes doctors even ask you for your "stool sample" or "Stuhlprobe"
"Schadenfreude" is when your mate brings a bunch of beer to you and your homies table and when he tries to place the tray on the table, he ends up spilling it all over himself. Everybody breaks out in laughter, that is "Schadenfreude". It's not when something actually bad happens.
Best wishes from Germany!

I think she still has a pretty heavy german accent. ( I am from Austria)
yes, that's right.
It's not heavy, but she still has a slight accent.
12:03 There's an interesting thing to note here, the german meaning is actually even a little closer to the english meaning than some (german) people might think. We also have the word "Furcht" which literally means "Fear". We use Angst and Furcht interchangeably and Angst is absolutely more common when people just want to say that they're scared.
However, even in german Angst and Furcht are not the exact same words. Originally Furcht meant to be scared of a real threat or danger (when a dog is gnarling at you for example) while Angst meant to be scared kinda irrationally (like being scared of the dark) - coming a little closer to the english anxiety and sharing more resemblance with "phobia".
James: Maybe its cause I dont drink that much

She totally forgot the word UBER (Ger "über" - "over/overly")
the proper translation for "über" would be "super".
making it especially funny, since germans use "super" to replace "über" and americans use "uber" to replace "super".
@@liquidminds This is one of the meaning. The op's explanation is true, too.
Regarding "wunderkind" just think of Dirk Nowitzkis nickname he had/has... The "German Wunderkind"
It’s a little mind-blowing to me that this man hasn’t heard so many of these words before. They’re allover movies, TV shows, music, and journalism.
It might depend on where he grew up. If the area he lived/lives in had had heavy German immigration he would know most of them. NYC, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and large parts of the midwest had heavy German immigration, and even if your ethnic background was different, you'd know if not used yourself the words she mention. If he came from down south or out west, not so much.
5:40 kaput is a word that can save yu everywhere. I mean, I'm Czech and I can't speak Italien, just really few words and once our car broke and we have to go to Italien car servis, just the place where they would repair it, and all we had to say was 'auto kaput' and they immediately knew 😂
they had a couple of germans in this car service before with the same problem, thats the reason why they understood you 😉

What I remember from my exchange to Danville, California in 2001 is Aufbau Principle. Eugene (the chemistry teacher) wrote it on the blackboard and I started to giggle. So I was asked why. And then I explained that Aufbau is a German word and also explained the meaning of it. [ Aufbau is a male noun (der Aufbau) and describes something that can be placed on something (structures for example, but also cars), and it can mean the way something is built up. ]
The story to German being used in chemistry is, that, if I remember correctly, in the 18th century Germany was THE country to go to when you wanted to study chemistry. In order to do that you also had to learn German.
Right up to the first world war Germany has been the land of chemistry

Asterisk to 1) 'Kindergarten' in Switzerland describes the same it does in the US.
Many of the words are not commonly used because they either refer to a a nieche object with a specific background ('stein' for example) or because they are essentially redundant because there is either an established synonym (i.e. 'prodigy' for 'wunderkind', 'bless you' for 'Gesundheit', 'wiener' for 'dachshund') , or the explanation is apparently simple enough and the demand for the word isn't huge (for instance 'Zeitgeist' = mentality in a specific time period).

In my area in Germany some people use the word "stein" for beermugs. Its a special kind of mug. Keeps your beer cold. Much better than a glas. I have a few at home. So good
What she didn't know apparently (despite coming from Munich even, where this is actually super common): Those beer mugs/ "Steins" make a lot of sense. The word "Stein" in this case comes from the german term "Steingut" which is the material from which the traditional bavarian beer mugs (as well as other old dishes) were made. Steingut is sort of like porcellain but thicker and not as classy. It also usually has more of a grey-ish color naturally.
The transparent glass beer mugs that you know from Oktoberfest for example, aren't really "Stein" or "Steingut". We call them a "Maß" or "Maßkrug", which refers to the mug but is also at the same time used as a measurement. It's a little over 1 litre.
..... and no German says "Steine.
Maß, Maßkrug, Bierkrug
Maß = measurement of a litre.
A "Halbe " is half a litre in Bavaria.
Some of these words are prominently used by US people with relations to jewish culture. Words like "Kitsch" or "Schmutz", so you might have never heard of them. This is a whole new topic. Even germans are not aware of how much words of yiddish/hebrew descent we share. Even one of the most famous words "blau" (drunk) and "zocken" (playing games or rip somebody off) is originally hebrew.
