Do you like the German language?

nur ein bisschen

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

It's like Dutch, but less gay. Good for metal songs, bad for romantic ones. Reverse French, basically. Also Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft. I haven't used it since 2010.

 

[Blobby's Murder Knife]

Leider, ja.

 

[Crocodylus Acutus]

It's a very funny language. I'm sure the German people are very funny and laid back as well.

ZIE SHIECHDWEM ACHT EIN ENDERSPOODLE UND DER FRECTHEN ZOIN DUN WHASTEIRMACTHETEREN!!!!!!!!

It's good for motivating speeches and metal (eg Raamstein) as someone said. Reading a romantic poem, not so much.

 

[Stan]

Ja.

 

[geppeto's woodclock]

I know French gets a bad rep but I actually think it sounds polite and easy to listen to.

 

[pork and beans]

Reverse French

french being romantic is such is a psyop...

I dunno. You can be romantic in German, but just not in the ways you normally think. Sometimes, I'll translate things from English into German and sit and stare at it because it sounds better in German than it did in English for whatever reason.

French is something I don't have any strong feelings about either way. All I know is from watching endless hours of TroTro when my kid was a toddler. I know enough to piss French people off apparently, lmao.

Dutch is gay. I remember me and my German ex-FIL laughing our asses off about why the fuck do they have to cough up every goddamn word? Gottverdammte Orangen!

I base my opinion on one of the most embarrassing songs ever created.

German sounds too "hard" to be romantic for me. French is so soft and sloppy it feels like it was made to be spoken while gargling cock.
As for Dutch: type "the man cut the pizza" and translate it. Might be worth forwarding via a superberry during MATI.

I think it's pretty hardcore that their word for "the" is "die"

I have been speaking German so long, I don't really hear it anymore like others do. But I will concede, it can sound harsh. However, I have no real frame of reference what English sounds like. I have been told things like it is like listening to a Dane with a hot potato in his mouth. Which I have no answer to because I have no idea what it sounds like to speak English to a non-native speaker.

I occasionally try to figure out why French is the way it is. It is, supposedly, a Romance language, but it is so fucked up compared to anything else like Spanish or Italian. I just look at it and say 'da fuck is this shit?'. I guess it is the equivalent of English being Germanic even though it is half Latin/Norman.

 

[Meat Target]

Some of my favorite words are in German.

• Fallschirmjagergewehr
• Achtung
• Schnellfeuer
• Flammenwerfer
• Panzerschreck
• Untermensch
• Lugenpresse
• Schweinhund

Dutch = Deutsch

So Dutch is like German but gay, to be accurate

oh come on, thats unfair... its got jane birkin, that automatically makes it good. very cute actually

German sounds too "hard"

I disagree, i think it sounds quite soft, softer than english. The way "r"'s are pronounced remind me of french a little bit, honestly. Truthfully they are both good sounding languages.

on this you are absolutely correct.

But I will concede, it can sound harsh

When its yelled absolutely but with a normal voice I think it is a pretty pleasant and gentle

Agreed..... Spanish and italian absolute S tier....

A fuckton of English is Danish.. you see it in double l’s that aren’t welsh and seemingly duplicate words like “craft” and “skill”

The other half is basically Anglo-Saxon, particularly the words that we commonly use. Think about a lot of our verbs and prepositions, they are almost all from Anglo-Saxon descent. But a lot of everything else was part of the the 1066 disaster.

I dunno about that, but I do know I like being spoken to in it. I really fucking hate it when a German speaker hears my accent, immediately assumes I am literally Br*tish (NEVER AMERICAN for some reason), and refuses from then on out to speak German with me. Like asshole, I am in your country, speak your goddamn language with me I spent literal decades of my life learning at this point with me.

If you are trying to sound angry or going to war, then yes. It's also fairly easy to decode, given English is a germanic language. That said, in normal speech, you sound like a angry retard.
