Half of the fun that Americans seem to have with German are the compound nouns, and then they will say that there is a German word for EVERYTHING. Yeah, we can just combine whatever parts we need to make any word we want. Hence Regenbogenstreussel or Sozialversicherungsgesellschaftszweigstellenleiter. Even if you never heard the word before you know what it means because it is just a compound noun that is combined from simple parts to describe the thing perfectly, a thing that especially French can't do, and that is why French sounds funny to us.

Funnily enough, the german language has "language updates" or at least grammar updates as in, 1996 the way many words were written was overhauled and now they are written differently. It's called "Rechtschreibreform" in german.

I mean it sounds funny to him since English itself is a germanic language (originally! I know that it got updated with alotta norse and french but the base is germanic) so it's understandable that he finds variants lf the same words he uses in English goofy sounding.

Norse is a Germanic language. Also, the loan words are usually higher register words (ie theyre the words known by people who know lots of words), if you look at the distribution of words in actual use, you'd still find a lot more germanic. Not to mention the grammar is much more Germanic.

i mean it's the joke to translate the stupid english name to German, then seeing someone joking about the German is funny

Germans, how do you manage the absolute barrage of syllables that is your language?

I love how you can read German and Dutch without knowing a single thing about those languages

Stroosle sounds silly, but it's not pronounced like that. It's pronounced Stroisel which sounds more serious, so there you go

9:50 -2, the international language has to have no native speakers specifically because the disaster that is english as the somewhat of the international language. It is so fucking infuriating that all americans if you speak english assume that you are also american, the fact that all "international" communities in English devolve into "american communities" with some non americans ( heck it can be split 50% americans 10% other native english speaker 40% non native e.s. and the discussion is still gonna be from the assumed american perspective).

NL and librarian are in a relationship?

why does he get mad about on accident? they literally patched it in because it makes more sense and is WAY healthier for the metagame, is it on purpose or by purpose???

I have a degree in linguistics, I know I’m kinda late. English has a million different words with divergent definitions bc it’s just such a freak language. In short at least. It’s like you mixed Latin and ancient Celtic, then ferment for 800 years, then add medieval Saxon, then add French (itself a weird derivative of Latin), then ferment like 500 years, then send it across the entire globe like a virus grafting itself onto every other language that might be of strategic importance to the British or later US government. All of those colonized languages inevitably leave their mark on the English language, even if they themselves become destroyed. All of this is not to mention its relatively recent status as the global lingua franca, which more or less forces everyone everywhere to have some knowledge of English. Good thing too, I wouldn’t have a job otherwise lol. But yea English really is a weird mixed up freak language, it’s kinda bound to be less structured and orderly than German or French or Chinese. Because those languages don’t have the same history.

English is a Germanic language. That's why there are so many similar looking words

I was with him until he came for “on accident”, that’s literally just a phrase now and I won’t have it any other way. People who say “would of” can kick rocks tho

English is a germanic language btw
