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.

This is so true. As long as they can see you are trying, most Germans will just switch to near perfect English. But if you are not even trying, they probably won't remember they speak it.

hahaha hahaha hahaha! I've been there!

Totally me, after living in Germany for two years! But I tried... :)

Not everywhere. Hardly any of my colleagues speak English.

That German is The Architect from The Matrix

The "fahrrad" at the end made me laugh

English's pretty easy and forgiving.

what did you say???

Shouldn't it be Haben Sie?

Total desaster.

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

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
