This KZread channel is dedicated to two of my loves in life: the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect and music. Videos helping people learn and practice PA Dutch will be posted here. I hope that these videos will help to preserve our rich language and culture as well as promote it among future generations. From time to time, I will also post videos of acoustic folk music being performed.

    My favorite from Noah Good's dialect class focused on the multiple uses/meanings of the word "sei" - his - are - these - pigs, sows Sei Sei, Cy sei Sei sei sei sei. These pigs, are they Cy's pigs?

    If the hot dog is in a bunch or sliced and put between bread, yes. I mean, if you put meatballs or steak in a bun, it's a sandwich, so the same with hot dogs.

    I am no expert, but I consider a sandwich as a cold dish. Something you can take with you and eat later. A Hot Dog is eaten warm and right on the spot.

    Ich kenne "e schnäägischer Hónger" für genau dieses Gefühl. "Schnääges" bedeutet Süßigkeiten. Jemand ist "schnäägisch" bedeutet "S.o. is a picky eater". Ich glaube das Wort ist mit dem englischen "Snack" verwand. Im Hochdeutschen wüsste ich dafür keine Entsprechung. "Gelüstig" bezieht sich mM nach nicht nur auf Essen.

    In dem sehr alten Weihnachtslied "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" gibt es die Zeile: "Mitten im kalten Winter wohl zu der halben Nacht". Schön, dass solche vergessen Ausdrücke in Dialekten die Zeit überdauern. Ich würde auch 'Mitternacht' sagen, musste aber sofort an das Lied denken und wusste, was gemeint ist.

    These are hilarious, and really apropos! There is a viral German language video with a tongue-twister song about "Barbara's Rhubarb Bar" ("Barbaras Rhabarberbar") which pokes fun at German noun construction. There is even a follow-up video with a comment that made me laugh: "Honey wake up, the Germans are rapping about rhubarb again!"

    I grew up in Coopersburg in Southern Lehigh County. In High School in the mid 80s we had the opportunity to take media classes and learn how TV and radio production worked. We videotaped each other and when the first one was played and we heard how dutchy we sounded it shocked us. It was as if people on "TV" weren't supposed to sound that way and it was maybe the first time we'd ever heard ourselves with a critical ear. I now live in South Carolina and I"m proud of my (fading) PA dutch accent. When I go back to PA on occasion its like the accent is recharged and refreshed and I'll come home sounding like I never left

    Ebenso interessant finde ich die Aussprache des „aa“ in faahre. Denn in bei uns in Rheinland Pfalz spricht man es als lang gezogenes „A“ aus, nicht als „O“. Mit dem Wort gleich (like) hatte ich anfangs auch nicht gewusst was damit gemeint war, aber steht in dem Falle für „möchte“. Also uff pälzisch: „Ich mecht mei Motorrad faahre“. Awwer ich hab des PA-Dutch richtich gern☺️.
