Last time I heard Schnappi was during a bowling night! I never hit one pin while the song was playing...

In case nobody knows what we're talking about, this is Schnappi

Bush should do something against that!

I took German for eight years in school and college, which is weird because the only reason I started taking it is to be in the same class as my friends. Anway, I just got back from Switzerland so it was kind of fun getting to use my German.

I still have some random German floating around my head from middle school language classes, and my boyfriend teaches me lines from German philosophers, but the one word I do know that I most enjoy is "Schadenfreude." Is this word used commonly amongst German speakers or has its popularity been puffed up by sadistic Americans?

 

[glittergoddess27]

Hmmm,.. sadly I know very little,.. I was more into french and some of my family is spanish speaking so that kinda put me into language overload,...I know the spellings are probably incorrect since I am spelling the way it sounds,.. but there are two things I have heard one and insult phrase and the other I think is Hurry Up?

"Die muttie arbiten in das poofhausen" (??)
and
"Mach Schnell" (??)

 

[laceymeow]

sometimes my grandpa gets all goofy and starts trying to speak german to me

i don't really know anything though... except my last name! platz haha

 

[user2]

@ glittergoddess27: Its "Die Mutter arbeitet im Puffhaus!" But I never heard anybody using it as an insult phrase...

 

[exodus]

Really?? Whoa I thought I was way off with the spelling! Thanks so much VuittonVictim, I'm writing them all down now hahaha

Ich bin Auslander. Ich sprechen nicht gud Deutsch. (I am a foreigner. I don't speak good German.)

Das ist eine auto. (That is a car.)

and

Das ist eine foos. (That is a foot.)

I can count to 8. I can never remember beyond that.
