Hello and welcome to our quick language lesson!

Well I know a lot of German words but that just might be because I'm German....

gesundheit actually translates to health, and is said post-sneezing in a shorthand manner of saying "health be with you", as opposed to the more religious and demon fearing "god bless you".


I grew up in a deutsch household, my mothers family having immigrated to the US during the war.

 

[jamiemeng]

ok I understand. Thanks

My great-grandmother immigrated from Germany(she was a little girl) to Mexico first, then to the US.
I just found out that my great-great grandfather was a German BrewMaster and help to start a brewery in Monterrey, Mexico. Very interesting indeed.....No wonder I LUV Dos XX

@ mac_obsission: It's Dankeschoen and Bitteschoen, but its spelled the way you wrote it!

@ juneplum: Yes Willkommen is German!

 

[Sanne]

schweinhund

(spelling?) and: Ich bin Schnappi das kleine krokodill.... (After driving germany crazy, it came to the netherlands?)

I knew the schweinhund because my little sister was learning(and using) swear-words from all languages she had lessons in @ highschool

 

[user2]

groupie, its a Schweinehund and its mostly used when you try to lose weight for example and you're not allowed to eat sweets, so you have to overcome the Schweinehund inside not to eat them! Do you know what I mean!

Do you want to know my two favorite english words?
Nocturnal and flabbergasted!

 

[Sanne]

what flabbergasted?

 

[user2]

What do you mean?

 

[Sanne]

I forgot the 's' , I ment what does it mean?

 

[user2]

Flabbergasted means verbluefft (german *g*) I Dont even know how to explain it...
Maybe somebody of the native english speaking people can...

 

[beautifulxdisaster]

I didn't know what it mean either! Here is the definition at www.dictionary.com


"to be overcome with astonishment"

Like, Wow I am Flabbergasted by your eyeshadow!!

 

[user2]

Right! THX for the compliment

I can call someone a s**thead and slut in German, but I can't spell it.

I took French in high school and college, but I have forgotten a lot of it.

 

[user2]

ms.marymac: to translate s**thead right you might call him Scheisskopf, a slut is like a bi*ch = Schlampe
I know so many swearwords

@ groupie: Schnappi is the most terrible thing I've ever heard or seen! This little girl recently released her second song: The llama from Yokohama!
It kills my ears!!!
