Being German with a Ukrainian grandmother, I can promise that simply shouting a recipe in Russian will wither most people to the ground.
That's the case for pretty much every language if the person you're talking to doesn't understand you and you shout it aggressively enough
Whenever I need to intimidate someone, I say "У меня есть маленькая собачка" in an angry mumble. It sounds scary, but means "I have a little dog"...
Спасибо, хорошо. Я Американец, изучаю русский язык. Первый год.
(Мне нужна была помощь от Google.)
Wenn du das sagen willst, sag es richtig! ::: spoiler spoiler ___ I really hope I said that right, or else this would be far too ironic for my taste. :::
Harrys Pferdeschnitzel, gestern noch geritten, heute schon mit fritten. Was möchten sie bestellen?
What do you mean, Handkäs mit Musik (hand cheese "with music") is perfectly understandable!
Nah. I find German kind of playful actually. Phrases that sound Latinate and serious in English, in German sound more playful to me as a native Anglophone. As they often use similar roots to "less serious" Germanic words in English.
Only fascists talk like that at their conferences. And then it doesn't sound much better in other languages.
There are a hell of a lot of good examples of how terrible our language is, but that's nonsense.
It's a tired joke missing any context or finesse but has some truth to it like most of these kind of stereotypes.
Oh for sure. Any language sounds intense asf when you're yelling it. Didn't mean to hit some nerves by linking a decade old video... I believe the creators meant no harm and I didn't either :[
If someone who didn't speak English overheard me greeting my cousins, they'd probably think I was trying to start a fight :P
One of my favorites. After learning insults in German and Spanish, English curses are weaksauce.
