I think the reason why German can be perceived as aggressive, aside the obvious stuff like most people growing up hearing the language first badly shouted by English actors with horrible accents in bad world war 2 movies, is that we have clear pauses between words in our speech which is in some other languages only used as an overemphasization of every single word when people are scolding someone

The main reasons, why German sounds a little harsh to some, are (1.) because of the consonants, which tend to follow directly after one another (e.g. suCHST), (2.) the phenomenon called "final hardening" ("Auslautverhärtung") , where the consonants at the end of the word are almost always unvoiced (the d in "Hund" sounds more like a t compaired to the plural form "Hunde") and (3.) because of the glottal sounds, that are often perceived as hard :) there are probably more reasons to it, but that's what I remembered from german studies. (Sorry, its a little difficult to explain it in english ^^)

Than we have the ei which is sometimes spoken as an aa. Or Hannover, where they speak the a as a deep o. Or slightly word changes like for Ja wich means yes. In some regions people say joa or jo or jau. even in south lower saxony where it is said that we speak the clearest high german, we have low german accents.

I think southern Germany and Austria have the “harsher” sounding German but I personally like it because the pronunciation is better. Though maybe I’m biased because I was born in Bayern and learned a decent amount of German while I was living there even though I’m American. The main reason most people probably think it sounds aggressive is because of the war’s affect on everyone. As it becomes a more distant memory-I’m sure people will realize it sounds prettier than they originally thought.

The thing about German that sometimes scares people isn't the harsh sounds like people tend to think. Swiss German, for instance, is 10 times harsher, and yet the few people who have heard it aren't turned off by it as much as German. It's German's general extreme monotony in terms of intonation that sometimes seems strange to people. Most languages have a natural melody or flow to them, and sometimes you can tell someone's accent not by the way they prononuce certain things, but by their intonation throughout an entire sentence. In German, this simply does not exist, which is also why the others in this video sometimes act surprised when questions in German sound like statements. Written German can be extremely beautiful and poetic, but as soon as somebody speaks it it sounds very serious and to the point. Which is also why I believe it's kind of the perfect language to sing with, because it acts like a blank canvas whereas for other langauges you have to slightly bend and shape the music around the language. Might be part of the reason why more than half of all (good) classical music is German or at least written by a German-speaking composer... But I digress.

Posso confermarlo. Sono francese e sto imparando l'italiano da adesso tre anni come materia secondaria a scuola. Quando sono andato in Italia per la prima volta all'occasione di un soggiorno linguistico, sono stato leggermente scioccato della volgarità del linguaggio quotidiano. Certo anche i francesi utilizzano delle parolacce (per esempio quando voi dite "cazzo" noi diciamo "putain" (= putana)) ma penso che in alcuni gruppi della società italiana sia ancora peggiore. Infatti nell'immaginario collettivo gli americani ed inglesi credono alla superiorità culturale della Francia e dell'Italia mentre in realtà è tutto il contrario. E sì, concernente l'aspetto della sonorità tedesca anch'io trovo che sia molto duro dal punto di vista fonetico. Per esempio quando ero piccolo nella mia regione ci sono stati dei tedeschi in vacanza, hanno parlato fortissimo e pensavo che "NEIN" fosse una parolaccia 😅

Io con i miei amici dico "cazzo" (Dick/fuck), puttana (bitch), merda (shit), bestemmio come se nulla fosse. Mentre con i miei professori si usa la terza persona singolare ovvero il Lei, quindi uso un linguaggio molto più formale. L'italiano suona come una lingua melodica e soave ma spesso non lo è

Good video, but the subtitling of French is a bit off. First, her name is "Soledad", not Soly (0:13). At 2:25 she says "Enchanté de vous rencontrer" (or "enchantée" considering she's a woman) instead of "enchanté de faire votre connaissance" (which is correct, though). At 2:51 she says "N'importe quoi ! " instead of "absurdité" (which is completely off). At 3:10, she says "Comment ?" instead of "como" (which is spanish if you add an accent on the first "o"). At 4:37, she says "Je suis énervé(e)" ("fâché" would be correct too). At 5:15 she says "Tu as de très jolis (instead of "beaux") yeux". At 5:45 she says "laisse moi tranquille" (instead of "laisse moi seul" which is more into a melancholic mood). Spanish and German too are sometimes mistranslated. Still, I love this content.

It's probably because when you put subs you need to make them short enough so everyone can read them easily, so sometimes you have to change some expressions to achieve that

I'll be honest I'm English and I don't say it at all, but I am Northern so I'm not exactly posh.

I'm not sure that the German sounds aggressive, especially coming from friendly Ellena. But German words and sentences can be very long. The pacing of the conversation in this great group is fun to watch, but when you are actually trying figure out the words of full phrases, it can be pretty quick/short to catch everything. Especially with the creative subtitles. I know a little Spanish and French, but what I understood was not always matching up with what I read, which makes me doubt what I know. I think that there are many different ways to phrase things. From what I saw in Spanish and French it looked like there were similar sentences in English to express the same idea, but it depends on formality and age of the speaker, casual or traditional conversation. Younger people may have a short, quick, casual statement or reply. But people of all ages may also speak casually and briefly among friends, family, and co-workers.

don't doubt yourself because of the subtitles. Not a single of the German or Spanish sentences match what the speaker was saying, even if they wrote between quotes. I can assume the same with French. Not even the name of Claudia was correctly spelt. The subtitles were probably done by someone that had the corean version and translated into English + Spanish, French, German for the quotes, and not by someone with access to the audio. And of course in the internet era nothing gets reviewed.

First of, there is not simply german. Our languages are Hochdeutsch, Plattdeutsch and Friesisch (high german, lower german and frisian). Plattdeutsch and Friesisch are closely related to northern languages. For example the word for Germany. Swedish: "Tyskland". Plattdeutsch (at least some dialects) "Tüskland". Hochdeutsch: "Deutschland".

😂 when Claudia says "estoy enfadada" I thought: wrong, wrong, wrong! 😅 I use "estoy cabreada" or "no me jodas" or I just need to look with killer eyes 😂🤣 But yeah, the right translation is "estoy enfadada" 😁 and "nonsense" I use "¡¿perdona?!" with a very high-pitched voice or "¡mande!" with an expression of "this person is wavering me or what" 🤣 To the person who writes the subtitles ... Thank you for your effort, your work must be very difficult and I appreciate it very much 💖 But, please, forgive me if I sometimes laugh because your transcripts are sometimes very funny and they manage to make me smile even if I'm having a bad day 😅😊😉

I love these videos about languages! 💚 It would be great if they added other European languages too, some less frequent and from different branches, like Greek, Czech, Irish, Lithuanian, Icelandic, Albanian. But I really hope they never stop doing these videos, I just love them :)

Elena is so joyful. She would be my go-to person if I knew her.

@@gillianleenas977 There's this weird habit of lots of Germans to downplay their English level. If you read an English comment on KZread that ends with "Sorry for my English", despite it being quite proper written English, there's a 99% chance it's from a German. I don't know where this stems from, but Germans often tend to downplay stuff to be modest and polite, because being overly proud/confident is generally frowned upon. But it's indeed silly in this context since I've heard from several native English speakers that the average English level in Germany (especially within Gen X/Y, etc.) is pretty good. Children these days get English skills even earlier due to the internet, where it's the main language of conversation, so that might be why they don't have this insecurity anymore. It's all a matter of getting used to it.

As a Dutch person I don't think we really have anything that's comparable to 'nice to meet you' that feels natural in everyday conversation. We can say 'leuk je te ontmoeten', but at least I never say that to anyone. Usually we shake hands, introduce ourselves, ask how the other is doing or something and then get to it. Afterwards, when it's time to go, we can say that it was nice getting to know them.

Ob's jetzt die Amis oder die Ukrainer gesprengt haben... in jedem Fall müssten sie zurück treten. Allerdings glaube ich nicht an diese Ukraine-Geschichte. Meiner Meinung nach wollen die Amis nur von sich ablenken. Allerdings weiß man, wie es ist, ein Freund der Amis zu sein. Solange man nützlich ist, heißt's "guter Freund" und wenn man nicht mehr gebraucht wird, kommt der Abschuss.

It always depends on HOW something is said. No german person speaks like Rammstein or Hitler in daily language. Even the word Schmetterling (butterfly) can sound quite cute, depending on how you say it. ;)

French: “I’m going to say words that are really very long in as few syllables as possible, like I’m sexy slurring. Good luck learning how to spell our words!” Spanish: “Our language gives French a run for its money for how sexy it sounds. If we got paid for how many parts of our names we have, we’d be rich.” German: “Our words are really sentences and you WILL say every syllable. We build our words like we build everything else: to last.” English: “We say most of our syllables, but our grammar has so many exceptions you’re gonna have a hard time learning our language. We have fun rhymes and slang though.” I had a piano professor and his German spoken in his smoky baritone was one of the most enchantingly melodious sounds I’ve ever heard.

​ @Jarl Nils ok i see what you mean. that's the difference between word-for-word translation and translating the meaning of a sentence. the point still stands that "wollen" doesn't literally translate into "would".But because the way you would phrase certain ideas is very language-specific, meaning that the wording between languages can be vastly different but the meaning could be the same I would argue, that using sentences and translating their meaning is not a good way to show what a specific word actually translates into. For example:"Willst du mich auf den Arm nehmen" (literal translation: "do you want to take me into your arms")would best be translated into "are you kidding me" but if you tried to use that sentence to understand what individual words mean you would not get very far or misunderstand them entirely.
