50 Hilarious Reasons Why The German Language Is The Worst

XD

I guess Greta isn't French after all.

"Ein Schwaben Bräu bitte" makes everything work out fine.

I'm getting some mixed signals here

They have words for pretty much everything

Ha that's so me.

same

These all have direct English equivalents: "I got tossed in the back of a car" "We came together after the movie" "I gave my bird what she needed last night"

heehee, because Kinder means children

Why do the write the names of the languages and then throw in Mexico? For continuity they should have written Spanish. And a flag of Spain.

Here Germany makes much more sense. Why make up a new word when you can repurpose old ones? Gloves really are “hand shoes.”

I need to sort out my cable salad....

🤘😆

Sechs is german for six and sound almost like sex. Vier means four in german and sounds like fear. And fünf is german for five.

The French say "How are you called?" when they want to know your name. I suppose it's like asking "How do I get your attention?" really.

This is brilliant, I can't stop laughing XD

Fat hard street. nothing to see here, move along folks.

All of these have a different connotation and add to the richness of communication. You would also rather say "for which purpose do you use a rifle" than "why", if you seek to explore the intention.

Effect, affect...you will find enough examples in English, too.

That is true

I laughed, until I realized that it's the same in my language

Brilliant, although it's a purposefully complicated joke name :D Fahrradständer is a real German name for a bicycle stand, above says something in line of "climate protection enforcing device securing place" ;)

Person: That's amazing! Me: That's sausage to me. Person: No, the post I was talking about. Me: SAUSAGE

In greece we say " there are flowers on my d*ick and bees all aroun" so yeah....BEAT that! *Giggle*

In my local language, it's said "enikk ith pulla" which literally means "this is grass to me". Am I sensing something?

It's similar in Dutch, we say 'Dat zal me een worst wezen!', which means 'that will be a sausage to me!'.

I don't care originally is "Ist mir egal" though. These are all idioms. "Ist mir Wurst" or "Ist mir Banane".

we have the same in Czech: Je mi to buřt XD

Odd that something that is a staple in the diet is also the way they reference not caring... could almost be translated to this is an everyday occurrence so it does not matter.

Is it really much different to the English "don't quibble over trifles' ;) ... Or the Yiddish-origin "What am I, chopped liver?!"

This is sausage to me, oh Vienna!

We use the same expression in Dutch x3

We also say "Banane" (banana) instead of "Wurst" - the vegetarian equivalent to "Das ist mir Wurst."

Nope. We use both. Usually depending on the vowel or Umlaut before the ss/ß.

"Die" is "the" relating to the feminine gender... so it sounds like they are indicating Bart is female

Funny, most of these work for Dutch as well and no, Dutch != German

You may need context. Essen is a town in the Ruhr area. Essen means food. essen means to eat. "Wollen wir heute in Essen ein wenig Essen essen?" thus makes sense.

Yes

I'd go with "Klugscheißer" (clever-pooper), don't know what that word above is supposed to mean.

Hahahahahahahaha lord it's true

Well, they're not wrong

well...

When you least expect it

in Italian also more or less

Ah yes, I too find the weather very gay today.

Someone count the points please. I'm curious. (I really don't play Scrabble... XD)

Wouldn't it be just Zusammengehörigkeit?

And if you REALLY want to confuse them: Use Russian. They have two more cases.

For your information, German isn't shouted aggressively by Germans at all. We imply that from the second world war because of how the Gestapo were. If you say the above German word normally, it sounds quite nice.

Never ever in my quite long life have I heard anybody use that word lol.

Whoa! Same in Finnish, pesukarhu. I guess it comes directly from German.

All of which mean "the"

In Hungarian also...

Emphasis on the first syllable- possible grave bodily harm court case coming your way, emphasize the last part and you're good.
