The best translation for "passt schon" in almost every context would be "it's alright". The top comment already pointed out the context in which it was used in the video. The joke is, that it's used for both positive and sometimes more negative things. Here are some examples: 1. Use it when you tip the waiter (like saying "it's alright", keep the change) 2. Use it as an answer to the questions: "How are you doing?/Wie geht's?" And several similar ones like "Are you okay/ill/sad/bored?" ("It's alright" or okay I guess; but can also mean no, it's not alright, but I don't care/no use worrying about/stop asking) 3. Another way of saying "you're welcome". ("It's alright"; it's no bother) 4. To praise literally anything from food to product to service. ("it's alright", but usually meaning "I don't have anything to complain, so that means it's really good"

When I lived with my parents we had two of these glass doors. You could either tilt them to let air in or walk into the garden. The doors even had two more glass doors directly connected so that the entrance could be enlarged. That's how we always got our Christmas tree through the door. In my current apartment I have a single glass door as an exit to my balcony and a Window like this right next to it. From my experiance almost every household in Germany have these types of Windows/backdoors.

I attended that boarding school, it's actually a castle. 😆 The golf course is a few kilometers away, not really next to the school , but they do have a tennis court just down the driveway. The town is called Neubeuern, next to Rosenheim, Bavaria. A lot of bavarian crime series are being filmed there because the town looks really nice.

You look quite a bit like the model she showed, maybe you're German 😅👍?

We Germans are actually pretty different, depends in which region you are! In Bavaria we are mostly taller and more open then in other areas. In North Germany it rains really much, but we in the south have sometimes not enough rain. I don't like it that every one says the germans, the germans, as if we are all the same, but that is a general thing.

Germans to the north of Bavaria (except Saxony) in Central, West and North Germany are even taller than Bavarians.

- Well, like anywhere in the world, there are short, average and tall women, but it's true that tall women exist in larger amounts here, including myself (179cm which is about 5'10) . I do have some tall girl friends, but the majority is shorter than me. - Most of us Germans really do be more reserved and keeping to themselves among strangers tbf, depends on where u are and what context it is, but it's fair to say we are in general less open towards people we don't know. - Yup, I once got in trouble for crossing at a red light with my friend cause we were late and my teacher was behind us and saw it. - I think it's just polite to look someone in the eyes when ur speaking. Shows respect, appreciation and makes them feel like they matter and you take them seriously. I hate when people are on their phones whil u talk, at least if it isn't just momentarily. - Yes, we do have door-windows that do that hahah, mostly for balconies/terraces, not as a front door though. - You were looking at the 7:1 score of the 2014 soccer worldcup. It was painful to watch even as a German, very intense match. Many Brazilians left the stadium disappointed by their team before the match even ended. - I've never been to a German bording school and the only person I know who has is my grandpa who is now over the age of 80. But I agree, it does look very fancy, definitely an expensive private school. - Yeah, the massive aquarium in Berlin bursted a few days ago and the 1million litres of water flushed out the hotel it was in, including the 1,500 fish in there. They had to evacuate the building and the fish couldn't be saved.It was the biggest freestanding cylinder-shaped aquarium in the world. - about the angry mailman guy xD I only understood half of what he said, that was not high German, sounds more like a strong Bavarian or Austrian dialect. - I hear that all the time, but do we Germans really speak such good English? I feel like there's those who do and those who don't at all, I know a bunch who speak very poor English, especially older people who didn't learn it in school. - "Passt schon" = that's fine/ alrigt/ I'm fine. (it's a slang expression, do it doesn't really mean "it fits", that is more for clothes) I enjoyed this video, thanks for making those. It's always fun seeing people react to our country and honestly makes me a little proud. Didn't think people were so interested. We are honoured. :)) Have a great day!

we do cross over red lights. sometimes. but the one rule is to bever, ever ever do it while a child is present

That was not a russian accent, it was an austrian accent.

well bavaria is german, so is austria. to be save just say bairisch/boarisch wich, to be fair , will translate into english as bavarian anyway. but to say its austrian and not bavarian on the other hand is just wrong ( while also beeing correct). yes, there is a very high chance that this guy is from austria so you can narrow down the dialect to austria and not bavaria, but austrian is not a language. austrians speak bavarian dialects therefore it is bavarian. there is also an alternative name to bavarian wich is austro-bavarian, but this is a costruct of political borders other than language. but it may fit your comments

Explaining directions: This one strongly reminded me of a tiny area in northeast Germany, happened multiple times there: "which way to the beach?" - "go straight for 2 miles, you'll see a supermarket on your left. But continue straight for another mile, you'll cross a bridge, but still continue straight. (... ... 5 min and 10 miles later, continuing straight at every way point 🤣) ... then you'll see the beach straight ahead". Very kind though 😅

Well for regular streets, like single lane, moderately crowded we also don't wait for every traffic light. The traffic light by my house takes up to 4 mins to turn green depending on the cycle of the traffic lights down the road, doesn't matter if there hasn't approached a car for over 30 sec, I don't wait for that except at rush hour or when children are there.

"Passt schon" means something like "yeah everything alright"

"passt schon" translates more like... "It's fine" or something like that. I would really recommend watching more videos of Liam, he is amazing XD

absoluely love your videos

The door to my balcony can open and tilt. Very common thing. The yellow flag with the guy using binoculairs was at the football club Borussia Dortmund. I once stopped at a light when it went orange, a woman was next to me with a small child. the child wanted to stop, but the mother told her to go on. Stopping is an example to others. "passt schon" comes from tipping a waiter. you need to pay 9,50. give them 10 and say "passt schon", giving them a little tip.

About that “staring you right in the eye while in a conversation”. I would say that’s mostly because it shows some kind of respect - we want to let you know that we really listen to you and are interested in what you’re saying

The Golf part was just on a driving range. On a normal Golf course it's short grass as well.

No, no jay walking and no turning right at red lights. But for the last one there is an exception. If there is a metal sign next to the red traffic light with a green arrow pointing to the right, then turning right is allowed if you do it as if you were at a stop sign. Drive up to the line of sight. Stop and see if you have to give way to someone. And when everything is clear you can turn carefully. Even if you come to a pedestrian traffic light, no car in sight and no observers either, then do what you want to do. But don't get caught doing it. However, if you see a observers and unreasonably cross the street, be prepared to hear a sermon and recite all 10 commandments. Then you can continue on your way.

7:54 That's not German, that's Bavarian, ... once again! 10:14 Passt schon ! - just fits ... it's OK ...

9:39 This is so true! I always say: "Passt schon" or "Geht schon" I love my language 💖German💅

Das mit dem Briefkasten war der Hammer hahaha 😂

The aquarium was great! It burst on Monday!

By the way 'passt schon' is translated to 'all fine' in this case

„Passt schon“ means that noting is happened to you and that it doesn’t matter. You can also use it, if somebody ask you to drive you home but you want to go alone for example.

We got these Kipp Fenster (tilt window) because when we kipp we dont have to clean up the window sill 😁

I guess "Passt schon" would roughly translate to "It's fine" or "no harm done"

That with the door we have that too, just for our balcony

3:30 every balcony door over here does that

Hey Ryan! The thing about the lights for pedestrians: the big difference between Germany and the US is, german kids walk or ride the bike to school (or simply meeting with friends) at a very young age (6/7years+) while using traffic lights, crosswalks, etc.! Since kids tend to not pay attention as much as adults, it's way safer for them to get used to use the right way to cross a street. US kids start the way to school on their own at the age of 16 i guess? the day they get their driver's license bcs of lack of walkable traffic situation. so it's way more important to set a good example in germany. we not only follow rules bcs of evolution... there are some good reasons for that aswell ;) :D and yes, there is a possible fine for jaywalking, from very low to very high ^^ 5-10 Euro if nothing happens, higher fines and points in Flensburg (driving aptitude register) up to losing your driver's license for causing an accident careless i.e.

At the Clip at 4:22 this was at the Soccer World Cup in 2014. In the semi-final match Germany against Brazil the German Team won in the end 7 to 1 against the Brazilians which where the favorite until this. Many Viewers left the Stadion crying at the break after the first Halftime after Germanys 6:0 until then. And we at Home had a great Party sitting at the TV. 😀😆

About crossing the road on a red light: well, not only are you setting a bad example for kids if you do, but you can also get fined 5 € if they catch you. And if you get caught multiple times they can even revoke your driver's license, even though crossing the road in foot isn't driving!

3:40 yea we have that too. I think nearly every backyear door, or door to balcon can do this. ^^

Besides the role model factor - u can actually loose ur drivers license when u get caught jail-walking in Germany (happened to some friends of mine)

10:12 no, it means something like I‘m okay, but in a more badass way, as you said. Its hard to explain😅

We don‘t cross the street on a red light because children could be around or at a window and see you do that. It is a kind of a common agreement that adults should be a rolemodel to children in terms of road safety. 4:20 was at a soccer match of Borussia Dortmund. The fans did that before the match and I don‘t know who was the other team, but it was the Champions League. At the bottom it said „Auf den Spuren des verlorenen Henkelpotts“. Henkelpott is a reference to the trophy the winner of the tournament gets. „Passt schon“ means something like „It‘s/I’m ok“.
