Your German in the bakery was pretty spot on
1:05 how to passivily, aggressive waking up your neighbors
*grind the coffee. Clear glasses are "clearly" only for latte macchiato's. There's rules for which cups or glasses are used for which types of coffee. =) We live between Darmstadt and Heidelberg.
Nice Vlog Zac. Really like your content. 😃
Hi there! Learning English and German both 😂. Thanks for your blog
The new haircut is great, Zach!
Bro is really saving me from my future mistakes💀
Hey Zack, I hope you are doing great in Germany. You need a license to fishing in Germany, however there are so many advantages of living in Germany.
1. Health system isn’t as expensive as in the USA. It is a nightmare paying thousand of euros for your health.
2. You have at least a 4 week holiday. In the USA is different.
3. Germany is not a perfect country, but it is pretty safe to walk in the street, even at night.
I want to hear you speaking German.
Awesome blog Zac.
Thank you! More to come!
The typical American! Warms up his milk in the microwave!😂
You caught me😂😂
I was thinking the same, lol. But I'm American and I don't use a microwave for anything. I have an electric kettle and a toaster oven for quickly warming up food. I do have a microwave though since it came with my house. My mom uses it when she comes over. Got to have that canned microwaved soup. 😂
I laughed so hard, when you said "Zero" locations.
Yeah that was hilarious.
Love your videos😊
I really enjoy your style and sense of humor, so keep up the good work 😀💪
And yeah, I can only imagine the awkwardness of your conversation with your landlord after you had asked if it would be okay if your “boyfriend” would come to visit 🥴😂
Again, thanks a lot for the great content 👍
Greetings from Denmark (one of Germany’s many neighbouring countries)
😅❤ your video incredible funny😊
Bro noone drinks coffe in glasses in germany 😂😂😂😂 we have a "tasse"
I'm making the move to germany in january and im so excited to start 😊
I dunno I guess nowadays you might have to second guess if 'mein Freund' means my boyfriend, usually it's clear from the context if it means boyfriend and many people don't care either way since it's kind of your private personal thing and not for us to judge. Many European languages seem to have that ambiguity actually.
The new haircut of Zack is good looking. but the old one was also quite good looking! ohhhh maybe i even prefer the long haird Zack? I dont know 😂😂😂😂😂
Many Germans use mug for coffee at home as well. 🙂
Right. At homes mostly coffee mugs are used. I never understand this craze about coffee in a class or in a chinaware cup. One I think is called "café latte" (in a glass) and the other "Milchkaffee" (literally "milk coffee", in a more or less elegant cup).
Just say mein Kumpel or ein Freund von mir instead of mein Freund and you will be fine
Why on earth do you not use the milk frother on the de'longhi coffee machine?
The loudest coffee I’ve ever heard
haha. love it.
Yeah...I almost made the mistake (but thank goodness did not) to search outside for Vicks( this is how in Greeceis pronounce like vix).... I said that in front a German friend and laugh very hard....OMG...how do I explain what Vicks pronounce mean here 😂🤣 advice...here is called wick 😳 I had big luck that I didn't say that loud front of so many people
the sticker on the refrigerator in upside down😂 it's written in persian😮
Thanks for this, I'm learning German and this probably saved me in the future.
So for a friend, it would be "meine freund"?
No, a friend would be "ein Freund" while a boyfriend would be "mein Freund". just for completeness a girlfriend would be "meine Freundin".
"Det" is the Swedish word for "it".
I haven't had the chance to make this mistake [yet] but I only recently figured out this was an issue. I thought I just couldn't keep track of the words for friends versus boy/girlfriends.... I didn't realize they were the same word! 😤
You could avoid this mistake by saying "Kumpel" (this means "buddy" but definitely platonic). So in Zac's case I would have said "Ist es okay, wenn ich einen Kumpel von mir mitbringe?". A term for a female platonic friend would be "beste Freundin" (best friend) or "eine Bekannte" (an acquaintance).
Love from India and soon going to be in Germany!
Coffee in an glass ? German ? Oh no. Traditional we use an cup. Mein Freund, in modern Germany nobody is real interested in if this is your boyfriend or an simple friend. By the way like Your shorts.
True. But also "mein Freund" can used in another way.
For example it's relativly common to warn someone bout somethin. Like diz:
"Ey! Vorsicht, mein Freund." almost like: "Ey! Vorsicht, Freundchen."
No one would suggest a partnerish relationship in this case.
However to avoid situations like yours in da video some people use "einen Freund"
(a friend) or just "mein Kumpel" (my buddy).
Anyways, I'll take a mid one without mlik, 2 sugars, to go. Thankz, mein Freund. : - D
When adressing somebody, relationship status is clear between them. A 3rd person who could mistake it, is not involved.
Dusche Bäckerei 😂
Zac how are you coping with the Metric system?
how long have you been in Germany? i live in stuttgart aswel
I’ve been here since May 2020!
Ich bin Kanadisch. Was ist kalt?
When I was learning German I was told by my tandem partner about an opening at his company. So I wrote "Mein Freund [name] told me about the position." I realised months later what it was supposed to mean.
Well, actually I wrote "MeinER Freund..." 🤦♀
Whaat? I only put latte machiato in a glas 😄
I am currently learning German and I really need to know this. Also, wenn ich über ein männlicher Freund spreche, sollte ich ihm "meiner Freund" benutzen?
This means that he is a friend who is male and not a "boyfriend?" Richtig?
You can use "mein Freund" for any male friend. Any female friend is "meine Freundin". It doesn't matter if it's your boyfriend or girlfriend. If you want to emphasize the relationship status, you can say "mein fester Freund" or "meine feste Freundin" (my boyfriend/girlfriend). If you want to emphasize that it's "just a friend", you can say "ein Freund"/"eine Freundin" (a (fe)male friend).
"mein Freund" has a double meaning:
1. a more closer friend like your best friend
2. boy friend
In the past (half a century ago) "mein Freund" was just a friend of a male but the boyfriend of a female. But since gay people can live open regarding their preference, "mein Freund" is also understood as boyfriend for male too. So it has this double meaning and depends upon the situation. If a six year old talks proudly about "mein Freund" he means his best friend.
So there are subtle differences, because "mein" mainly indicates exclusiveness like in "my car", which means, it is only your car and nobody elses car. So in a situation like in the video as a male you say: "ein Freund" or when you want to emphasise a closer relationship: "mein bester Freund" or "ein guter Freund".
And when you are married: you can say whatever you want and you don't need to worry anymore, that it may be misunderstood.
Nice vacuum cleaner
Nobody
Me: Hey it’s 40 out, I guess I should wear a sweater. Puts on a light sweater.
Me: Hey it’s 30 out side. I guess I put on a turtleneck and slightly thicker sweater.
Me: Hey it’s 20 outside. I guess I’ll put a light coat on.
Me: Hey it’s -20 out. Yeah I’ll put on a coat and gloves. 🧤 it’s cold 🥶 now.
This is actually not an exaggeration!
You only drink Latte Macchiato out of a clear glass.
you can use possessive, but then have to use "Kumpel" instead of Freund to clarify. Or here in the South that would be "Spezl/Spezi". "Kollege" if a workfriend. "Kommilitone" if a study colleague at university, "Mitschüler" for schools. "Bekannter" if you just met or just aren't really friends
You can also just say "Buddy", since Germans do that too, and still use mein. Or Bro.
I mean you'd sound like a douchebag until they realize you're American, but you would be understood
1:06 are you one of my neighbours? :D
The milk
😂😂😂
No we dont like puttin coffee in clear glasses, who told you that? :(
Wait who drinks coffee out of a clear glass ? I am German and never saw one doing that or did it myself? Is that a western German thing?
that looked like Cappuccino, and that is often served in clear glass to enjoy the layered structure.
I thought you going to GET coffee?
I really don't understand why Germans think that way. But I also had a friend who insisted that I don't say "mein Freund" but "ein Freund von mir".
Well, maybe the Germans are a bit weird in that respect.
Easy explanation, we don't have a word for girlfriend or boyfriend 😅 If you want to be clear that it's not your boyfriend or girlfriend, you don't say "meine Freundin/mein Freund" but "eine Freundin/ein Freund (von mir)"
And i (as a german) think it sounds weird to say boyfriend or girlfriend as an adult. 😅 Imagine an 80 years old Lady calling the also 80 years old men next to her her BOYfriend 🤭😅
@Die Wölfin if they are in a relationship, why not? It's a kind of cute.
@@Die_Wölfin Warum denn? Ein 80-Jähriger ist immer noch ein Geburtstagskind.
You are cool type
Bavaria is better area then Berlin. Lol
Bavaria is better than every other part of Germany 🤭
@Die Wölfin besides Ostfriesland! 😎
But not as good as Ostfriesland! 😎
@@Die_Wölfin Bavaria should be not a part of Germany. But even Austria wouldn't want to have it 🥳🥳🥳
if you ever decide to be gay then i know the perfect dude for you
Cawfee
It’s great haha!
Try saying mein Kumpel instead, it’s clear it just a pal then
Yes, "my boyfriend" means you are "G..." (plug + plug) if you are a guy
