As already explained, adding the 'chen' shows the diminutive form of the noun. Ohr/Öhrchen and Haar/Härchen. But Brot is bread and Brötchen literally translates into little bread, hence roll which is smaller. I'm British living in Germany, but have mastered most of the German compound nouns by now.

The english language loves to adopt trademark names into common language use. Other examples are "Xerox machine" for photocopier or "Kleenex" for tissues or "Velcro" for hook-and-loop fasteners.

Escalator was a trademark turning common use.

"quietschen" (to sqeak) is the sound that is made when the duckling is pressed. And “Entchen” means “little duck”. German words are often made up of several other terms. It's best to learn each part individually first and then together. We also know Quietscheentchen (little rubber ducks) from the TV show “Sesame Street”. Ernie sang a song about his "Quietscheentchen (rubber duck) ". You can find the song “Quietscheentchen” on YT.

also: Santa Clauss is a mid-european (basically german spoken areas) legend with a BROWN mantle (sometimes even REALLY red) and treated children regarding their behaviour the last year. ...it (he) was obviously "a tool" hidden by a story to "re-educate" the children easier and kind of "extort" them mentally to "behave like the parents WANT TO" to not get punished by santa clauss these times... (christmas time or better known as *Summer solstice*) when people are FORCED to live MORE INSIDE THE HOUSES and cant be put outside to work to "not annoy the grown ups" ... and "come around many explainations, that maybe also sometimes would show the falsehood of the GROWN UPS educational measures"... like "just shut up and do what grown ups say, because...." Have been strange times earlier!!! Coca Cola put over a RED MANTLE (looks better and is easier to see and recognize) and cut off the "punishments" in the story and marked the treatments directed to rewards ONLY. "go get a coca cola AS REWARD" for being a nice guy. In germany we STILL have the opponing "HELPER" of Santa Clauss, called "Knecht Ruprecht" ("servant ruprecht") that was responsible for "bad treatments" to "bad children" and came around with a RUTE to beat those, that didnt get a reward of santa clauss (because these kids were "evil or bad") Its dying out more and more and by far no more that popular, than in has been earlier. did you know that? mostly ...nope, i guess! Coca Cola just put out the Santa Clauss out of that "story" or "legend", because this (cutten off) story sells WAY BETTER. Media today often does the same. We call it: FRAMING.

Number 3: Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung In germany we love to put more words together and build a one word out of it.

xD so the more "chen" the smaller it is? xD no you can't. A "Brötchen-chen" doesnt exist in german! and if you would use it like that... "MAYBE" someone would understand what you mean, but laugh also... You can just minimize the word ONCE... and make it a "child-version" with it. you can "theoretically" minimize EVERY noun with it. but its not common to use it for every noun. basically the word "chen" is MEANINGLESS except the pointing to a minimization of the supposed-spoken noun. Just a FEW words (like Brötchen) are an OFFICIAL MINIMIZATION (of the word BROT), because a Brot and a Brötchen have BASICALLY a different size and description (a Brötchen is a "ONE PORTION VERSION" of a "compareable bread".. like "a whole bread for an adult" would be compareable to "a Brötchen for a child" compareable is the "Brötchen" so much to eat for a little child, like a "normal Brot" for an adult. in opposite to: ...for example a "Streichholzschachtel" and a "StreichholzschächtelCHEN" (matchbox) is ABSOLUTE EVEN and ABSOLUTE THE SAME... just "seen different" because its BASICALLY so small, that you tend to see it as a "child version" but in that case THE SAME SIZED MATCHBOX can be "the tiny version OR the normal version" because "the normal version" IS ALREADY TINY! so if you see something that looks shrunk, you can call it a "whateverCHEN" then like a small man (MANN) would be called (MÄNNCHEN) but its technically STILL A "MANN" (technically a man has no size-limitation for its description) but a small bread is NOT A BREAD anymore. Its a BrötCHEN (as a description for a german) i cant describe it better or deeper. I think i explained it maximum detailed ^^@@vomm

little trick: whenever you spot an i and an e together swap them and pronounce it English. Meaning your ie is our ei and your ei is our ie. You would read ‘Lied’ (song) and pronounce ‘leid’. When reading ‘Leid’ (suffer) pronounce it ‘lied’.

Kraft Fahr Zeug Haft Pflicht Versicherung

5:12 it's not "just car insurance", which would be "Autoversicherung" (also a commonly used word).the liability insurance covers damages you do to others when operating your vehicle. And because the german legal system assumes that operating a motor vehicle always poses a base level of danger, you have to have a liability insurance in order to get your vehicle registered. That's where the "Pflicht" part of the word comes from. Other elements of car insurance are called "Kaskoversicherung". Those cover your own damages, and are split up into Teilkasko and Vollkasko, depending on the type of damage. Going into more detail would overshoot it here, but the Kasko is optional. Basically, you are allowed to opt out of insuring your own car but you absolutely must be covering other's if you want to participate in public traffic.

He's an US Citizen who's learned speaking German, I think, since highschool and he speaks absolutely clean German without the slightest American accent.

About Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung: this word basically means car insurance but it means so much more: I personally split this word into three groups: Kraftfahrzeug-haftpflicht-versicherung. Kraftfahrzeug can also be split into three groups: Kraft means power or force., fahr comes from the verb fahren and means to drive, zeug litterally means thing; and it is the official word for car and any other vehicle that is powered by an engine and is not on rails (like motorbike, trucks etc.) Haftpflicht can be split into two: haften means to be liable and Pflicht means duty or responsibility. and lastly Versicherung juste means insurance. So this monster of a word means the insurance for an engine powered vehicle which is obliged to have and is liable in case of an accident and I think this is beautiful

The thing about those long words in the German language is that they are (typically) compound words, made up of multiple smaller words. Reading each word by itself usually makes reading the compound word as a whole easier.

Don´t apologize, you were great, funny, hard trying, butchering these words! Thank you for the good laugh.

You did very well with: ~ Eich-hörn-chen ~ Quie-tsche-ent-chen (sounded Chinese first but ended up perfectly German) ~ Schlitt-schuh-lau-fen Brötchen, Umweltverschmutzung and Rechtsschutzversicherung were oookay😁 This would be sooo much fun in a live stream istg!!

Hi Ryan, sharing the long words is a good idea. Here's an example. You can divide the word "Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichversicherung" (motor vehicle liability insurance) like this. Kraft-fahr-zeug-haft-plicht-ver-sich-e-rung. This way you can learn the individual words and then put them together. And gives you a little insight into the language rhythm.

I swear that I could see transforming your tounge into a Bretzel. 😂 It often breaks my heart how hard you try. But there is indeed an easy trick for those long words. They are practically just unions of smaller ones. So dividing those into the smaller versions should help: Kraft - Fahrzeug - Haft - pflicht - versicherung But I fear you have to learn first how to pronounce the german vocals, cause that may be you main problem (and of most other americans)

your pronounciation is really good. i think in your case what would help a lot is mainly separating the composited words/syllables visually and then you could perfect it in no time. because the general pronounciation of letters in german you do quite well. but sometimes the flow of the word is getting in your way. because it is important to accentuate where one sub-word ends and the other begins. just break it up a bit, so for examples: > Schlitt - Schuh - Laufen > Kreuz - Schlitz - Schrauben - Zieher > Kraft - Fahr - Zeug - Haft - Pflicht - Versicherung ....

Only with a, o and u (and not umlaut ä, ö, ü!), it is the kh sound. The h behind a vowel is usually silent and just makes the vowel a long one. Exceptions if it is a compound word, and the h is actually the first letter of the second part in the word. But then, the h is immediately followed by another vowel. PS: And you nailed the Quietsche-Entchen.

Great effort and improvement. And hilarious to watch (as a German)! 😁These long compound words are nearly impossible to pronounce by foreign speakers when one doesn't know the individual words. Please consider making a video about German tongue twisters: "Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut und Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid" etc.

Dude!!! I am LAUGHING my A off with the longest word! OMG!!!! Hooooo

😂Brötchenkorbstoffhersteller Eichhörnchenkobel Quietscheentchenfabrik Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherungsvertreter .. - es würde schlimmere Möglichkeiten geben geben 😂 Aber super, es macht echt viel Freude, deine Videos zu sehen, Dankeschön 😊🎉

Just perfekt, Ryan!! Even we germans couldn't do it that good!! ;)

Love your pronunciations! 😂🤣🤪Here’s a tip, when you have 2 vowels next to each other, pronounce the 2nd one only. Example: Liebe (love). Pronounced Lee-be. “V” sounds like an “F” and “W” sounds like a “V”. Like in Volkswagen.

There are two EEs in Quietscheentchen because two words come together. Quietsche+Entchen (squeak+duckling). This is actually briefly described in the text under the words. ;)

Brötchen are actually very important for breakfast for Germans but we eat it all day long.

especially those loaded ones from the fuel station AT NIGHT after party :D ESSENTIAL FOR SURVIVE xD

So, if I interpret "car insurance" correctly, it's an insurance for damages which might be caused to your car. We have that in Germany too. It's called a Kasko-Versicherung. A "motor vehicle liability insurance" on the other hand is an insurance for damages someone (most likely you) might cause, WITH your car, i.e. an insurance for cases where you would be liable for the damage caused (as opposed to an insurance against damages caused TO your car). We also have a Privathaftpflichtversicherung, a "private liability insurance" covering the same type of cases for pretty much all other possible cases. And yes, that means we've more or less split one type of insurance into two separate ones, separating cases caused by your motor vehicle from everything else caused by you personally.

Whenever the -chen is attached to a word, it is a small version or diminutive. "Streichholzschächtel-chen" is a small matchbox.

I like the word "Inkompetenzkompensationskompetenz", it means something like competence of compensating the incompetence.

The difficulty of nr. 8 can easily be increased to level 9000 by making it a "Tschechisches Streichholzschächtelchen" (Box of matches from Czechia) 🤪

thank you for giving us Germans so much fun. I appreciate a lot that you can love about yourself. And hey, you really try hard an you‘re doing quite good in this german noun-jungle. Lying ill in my bed I somehow saw your videos - Thanks a lot for making the days shorter 💚

As young girl I learned in school the longest word in Duden (at that time) has been ... Donaudampfschiffahrtskapitän. And we made it even longer like Donaudampfschiffahrtskapitänanwärterprüfung ...

Rechtsschutzversicherung you got that really good.

German is a difficult language, and some terms are longer than some sentences. Take someone who speaks German to help you and you will amaze us all. It's difficult, but not impossible! You can do it!

The grammar maybe diffucult but not the pronounciation.

I had so much “Schadenfreude” watching it! Your look at the third word gave me a 3-minute "Lachkrampf"! It's so interesting and entertaining to watch your one man IMF journey, explain to me "German"! A German "Boomer" [born '67] from the left Lower Rhine, near the Dutch border! Me Quiety [= Me the Silent one 🤫🤭😉]

Love you man ! You are great.
