They moved to Canada and then had me, so I’m about as German as a Canadian can be – which probably explains my weakness for sauerkraut, oom-pa-pa, and marzipan. D-10119 Berlin A very efficient yet not very romantic description… Thanks for sharing, that's a good one! German speakers say “yes” by simply saying "Ja". French: Papillon, Dutch: Vlinder and then you have German…. Hey there, to shed some light on the bacon/speck topic: We in Germany do differenciate beetween different sorts of meat . My favourite German word is still “Naturwissenschaften” [science] because it was the first ‘long’ German word I learnt at school. A quick Google search can reveal pages of results for persuasive and powerful words. Sorry my english is under pig , “Schlitzohr” means cheater, but that’s taken figuratively nowadays. You’ll likely see a lot of these “old brain” words in the lists below. but I am a very proud everyday cereal eater and Im still alive! It’s almost a haiku, for heaven’s sake. Here's a native speaker thanking you in German: No polite conversation can end without a good old goodbye or "Goodbye" how German people usually say. Fleisch sounds a little bit too much like flesh, for my taste. As in, if you don’t agree with this list, feel free to “Mach mal einen Verbesserungsvorschlag” (make a suggestion for improvement sometime). and Schilderwald, which means, there are as many roadsigns as trees in a forest. – I think i stand in the Forest! In between shows, I imagine that attendees compare their black fashions, sigh heavily a lot, and throw words like ‘weltschmerz’ around… The word weltschmerz translates literally to “world pain” and, according to Merriam-Webster online, means “mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state.” Germans also have another word similar to “weltschmerz”: “lebensmüde.” According to reverso.net, lebensmüde is a way to describe someone who is “weary” or “tired of life”. I think its something like ‘to be at cross-purposes’ in a more melancholic way. According to daube.ch, “pasta of all sorts is the domain of Italians. Extremely specific and one of my favorite words of all time…, translation: the dirtying up of the world (pollution). OK. That's one long word, thanks for sharing! You say “Germans give bacon a bad name,” by caling it what is essentially a synonym of the word fat. 3. This means that knowing only 1000 words helps you guess up to 65000 German words. I don’t think cake is a German word so I don’t see how calling Twinkies cake offends you – maybe if it was called a Schwarzwalder Twinkie…. So instead of giving it a bad name we are actually honouring your beloved bacon By bringing it in assocciation with FAT . Trantüte, Trantuete . My favorite American (U.S.A.) cake is Red Velvet (with cream cheese frosting of course). For me, it’s very interesting to read how you’re experiencing our language in such a charming way! Stinkelahm = slow as hell. First of all, thank you for the excellent explanation of the whole speck/bacon thing – I think I finally understand! Interesting, thanks for sharing! This is closely followed by Gemuetlich which has no direct English translation but can mean anything from familiar, cosy, pleasant etc. 196 Smiling makes us happy and helps us stay healthy, so that's why we all need to smile every day. This is a really versatile and funny German word. Wanderlust is often used in English too. “Lack” = finish, “Affe” = ape. this doesn’t mean that you want some meat now, it means passion in a sexual way. Breast warts? German words I like are “Bücherwurm” (book worm) or “Leseratte” (reading rat).

In Italian, bacon = pancetta / speck is some wild derivation of it / and lardo = lard — only the white fat part which some people with hardening of the arteries to the brain believe is a delicacy. your parents seem to speak a very strange dialekt, i cannot even tell in which part of germany they might have lived. leo .
