Dear Mr Tudor,
My mum speaks German, she has a slight fascination with Hitler 🤦♀️
Congrats, nice diversification.👏
Gosh, dear Bubbles, you just couldn’t resist the law of Godwin.
<3 <3
Dear Another Cat,
I actually had to look up the law of Godwin, so please excuse my ignorance. My mother specifically learnt German BECAUSE of HIM. She would watch all the war docos seeing as she lived thru the WW11 period. I was merely stating a fact about my eccentric narc mum and that her insensitive obsession annoyed the hell out of me.
I’m so very sorry if I have offended you or anyone else, it was certainly never intentional. I find it extremely emotional seeing as my father’s side fled Europe for a better life and my grandmother was shot.
I love the language and I love the people, my best girlfriend growing up was German. I have even been to Germany.
Again, my sincerest heartfelt apologies Another Cat 😞
❤️❤️You have not offended me the least bit Bubbles.
I only observed that someone was gonna mention Hitler in this thread! This time it wasn’t me who did it❤️
Godwin said that he thought almost every long conversation between ppl will contain a line where someone mentions nazis.
But our narcissist moms make it tenfold, yes indeed.
/another cat
Also again sorry for the misunderstanding, Bubbles, I was being a bit of “Basil Fawlty” here with “try not to mention the war” and I mentioned it myself, there we go…❤️
Oh geez, so sexy…I am such a sucker for foreign languages…
Glad you’re expanding HG, I hope many listen and learn.
Hey AV, then check this out: “Egészségünkre!” (Cheers! Can be translated as: “to our health”), or how about: “Zöldbabfözelék” (green bean stew), “Fejtettbabfözelék” (white bean stew), “nárcisztikus személyiségzavar” (narcissistic personality disorder) 😂 Yes, this is a language. 😂
Hahahaha, Leela!!! Thank you for that, I needed the laugh! I will check that out! 😃
AV, believe it or not: That´s how I talk in real life!😜😂😂😂
Oh wow! That is so cool! I am studying Norwegian at the moment, on Duolingo, it is just for fun of course. I so envy people like yourself who are multilingual!
EVERYBODY can learn languages. It´s great, because you can TALK to different kinds of people. I´m from the Republic of Hungary, but a nomad, like my ancestors were (probably). And somehow you gotta communicate with the people, right? So: Had to learn languages. 😉😂
Would love to hear H.G. – the Ultra in a finno-ugric language! This is a next level challenge! 😜😉😁
Öffne die Tür und schließe das Fenster, draußen regnet es.
Many moons ago, back when I was at school, I took German lessons for a while. This is pretty much the extent I remember (and I still have to consult Google Translate to get it right).
Those who are fluent in two or more languages are impressive, in my opinion.
Congratulations on your internationally focused videos, HG. I think it’s a fantastic idea.
Your German is almost accent free. You sound like a native HG
Did you grow up speaking both languages?
I would say you are indeed one of the aristocracy.
Sehr gut HG
Ich finde es gut das Sie machen jetzt Ihre Blog auf Deutsch
Haben Sie ein Computer benutzt? Für die Übersetzung?
Ich finde das Ihre Stimme auf Deutsch hört sich sehr gut an.
Englisch ist ein tiefere Ton als Deutsch. Die stimme ist ein bisschen höhe in Deutsch.
Haben Sie es schneller gemacht?
Hört sich so an.
Liebe Grüße
Anna
Congratulations for starting to put out your work in German HG!!!
I wish you the best of success!
Grazia
Thank you.
Yes indeed
Very good
Ich kann auch Deutsch! 😉
Ich auch 🙂
Oh, can I bargain for a little Slavic and Deutsch? I’m a fast learner!
Regarding AI, HG stated yesterday that he has never used AI so far. I believe him. This German guy is either HG, or some other guy with DNA.
I did not say I had not used AI, I said I have not used it on the blog. I have for instance used it in the creation of YouTube thumbnails.
I understand.
Ask an Englishman to pronounce a hard “R” 🙂
Something delaminated there at 7:26 minute 🙂
Joa, you made me laugh (thank you for that) 🙂
Asp Emp, I’m glad I managed to make you smile 🙂
You made me smile many times! Sometimes your quotes from previous posts are missing. I liked it.
Best regards, Asp Emp.
Thank you Joa 🙂 I enjoy reading what you say, sometimes I am surprised yet am not surprised when you say something new 🙂
Joa: speaking of languages, I told you from age 6 on, I grew up next to a Polish family who I love and respect so much! Well when I was last in London I found a couple of Polish bears from a Polish cartoon series that I am giving her this July as she will be a first time Grandma! Can you guess who they are? Hint MP
Contagious, yes, I remember. I smiled; ah, back to the world of my childhood 🙂
The most famous Polish teddy bear is “Miś Uszatek” (I don’t know how to translate it: “Teddy Bear with a Floppy Ear”). A famous cartoon series the times of the Polish People’s Republic – stop-motion animation, using puppets and props.
The second teddy bear is: “Miś Colargol” (“Teddy Bear Colargol”). The fairy tale was written by a French writer, but Poles turned it into a stop-motion animation. Colargol was a bit alienated, in his own world and too polite, but I liked him too.
I don’t remember any other cartoon series with teddy bears from my childhood 🙂 I liked both teddy bears, as a child.
My loved cartoon series, the best of the best, was about the dog “Reksio”. And two more – about two brothers “Bolek and Lolek” and about insects “Pszczółka Maja” (May’s Bee).
I also liked the Russian cartoon series: “The Wolf and the Hare” and the Czech cartoon series: “Neighbors” (Pat and Mat).
—–
What couple of Polish bears did you buy?
It was very good indeed. However after listening several times, my observation is that it is possibly an AI generated translation.
This is what I conclude.
An AI voice generation.
Still excellent work though of course.
AI or not, still sexy…
Anna,
I have know idea how AI voice generation works though I have heard it is possible, I find that frightening. I wouldn’t want AI to use my voice for something, lol
I do not think HG would use AI voice generation. I view him as having a great deal of integrity in his work and teaching techniques.
Though I’m not a friend of AI but on the other hand if its use would be for the good, in this instance – translation and wider reach and access to HG’s work. And AI would generate HG’s voice in many different languages, which HG isn’t fluent in, it would be a very precious detail to have remained💓
(For instance it took big machines to straighten the natural serpentine shapes of rivers – which is very important for the aqualifes survival. It was beneficial for civilization and city-culture to have straight rivers but it wasn’t beneficial for the survival of animal and plant species. It would take the rivers way too long to reshape the serpentine flow naturally, but machines can be used to do it and help nature to regenerate faster. So the use of the machines would be for the good in this case. Inverted use – where damage was caused – to use the same tool to repair the damage.)
The use of technology such as AI would benefit HG in spreading his work and the creation of his Legacy, and it would benefit the people around the world. HG remains in control of the accuracy and the spreading of his information into the different languages. I know, I read that HG speaks different languages, but certainly not all and he also hasn’t enough time to sit and re-record into all the different languages. To still have his voice deliver the primary information is a fantastic opportunity and use of tools such as AI.
Jordy,
Thank you for explaining how AI works, it is easy for me to be fearful of that which I don’t understand.
It makes sense that AI would be a huge benefit to HG.
I was thinking AI generated voices could be altered by another individual and copied to cause harm to someone.
It hadn’t occurred to me how HG’s work could be expanded to reach a larger portion of listeners.
I learn a lot on this blog! 🌻
Joa, HG just rolled the “R” in TOW “Ridiculed again” yesterday! Check it out!
1:38 Ridicule, ridicule, ridicule
Rrrrrrr❤️🔥
Jordy–
That wasn’t just any common, garden variety roll of the letter “R.”
That was an alveolar trill. I almost lapsed into feminine giggles. With Mr. Tudor’s resonance and timbre…it sounded so good…
Please do it again, sir. *giggles and clasps hands together hopefully, gazing into the shadows of a wing-backed chair set near a crackling fire* Your voice is so lovely.
Dani! Heeehiihihi *giggles and rolls around and squeaks* A trill and a thrill indeed! We’re so easy to satisfy, lol!!!!! Do you save the parts „where HG sings“?!!!!😻😻Just so f*cking beautiful, I can’t help myself😽
Jordyguin and Joa,
I want to hear HG say, “squirrel” 😁😆😆xx
Rat with bushy tail.
You’re funny HG xx
Oh, but HG, squirrels are cuter than rats. 😄xx
😀 Rrrratte mit buschigem Schwanz.
Ich finde auf deutsch klingt das gleich viel poetischer.
HG defines a squirrel as such.
How would HG define a chinchilla ?
AspEmp,
Chinchilla, to HG would most likely be another rat with a bushy tail 😆xx
Rebecca, either that, or, a fur ball……. not to be fluffed with. xx
HG and AspEmp,
What do you think of chinchillas, HG? So cute and soft, not to be used for a ball…AspEmp, I got ideas of HG using it for unintended uses…AspEmp, you might want to hide the little guy. Xx 😄
HG,
I love the way you say, aluminum, I try to say it the way you do and I screw it all up. 😄xx I get all tongue tied 😄
Well, since you struggle with it, why not call me Al?
HG,
😄
Just saying Al would take all the fun out of it. Xx 😁
Don’t use the phrase “just saying” –
1. You are writing not saying.
2. It is passive aggressive.
3. It undermines conviction in what you are writing. You are allowed to express yourself, that is entirely proper. You do not need to caveat yourself.
HG,
You sound just as good speaking German, as you do in English. Xx How many languages did you teach yourself?
So happy you’re reaching more and more people! Xx
Thank you for all that you do and continue to do! Xx
HG,
You’re right of course that ‘Just saying’ is an unnecessary and unhelpful phrase, but I believe in this instance Rebecca was referring to ‘saying’ (as in pronouncing) the word aluminium and that while it’s difficult to pronounce the English version it’s at least fun to try.
Thank you, HG
I understand xx
Hi Annaamel,
Yes, you’re right. I worded my comment wrong. (HG was right too, regarding my wording)
I have difficulty pronouncing aluminium with the British pronouciation of the word, but it is fun to try to say it the British way. I keep screwing it up. 😄Thank you for your understanding and I’m sorry HG, for my poor word choice before. Xx
I agree with Annaamel.
What Rebecca meant was probably: “If one is just saying Al, then one takes all the fun out of it.”
Mr. Tudor–
I really appreciated reading this: “You are allowed to express yourself, that is entirely proper. You do not need to caveat yourself.” It’s something helpful to remember. Thank you!
Rebecca you didn’t word it wrong. I’m assuming HG probably comments pretty quickly when moderating and I also think he notices opportunities to remind you you’re not being assertive enough. It was HG’s error though completely understandable.
While on the topic of assertiveness I expect he’d tell you don’t need to apologise unless you’ve definitely done something that has caused pain to someone else. He didn’t feel pain, nor did I, nor did anyone else. So no need to apologise.
Aluminium in Australia is pronounced the English way. To me the US version is very weird 🙃
Hi Annaamel,
Thank you for your kind words, they made me feel better about my comment. Xx
The pronouciation I grew up with is easier for me to say. 😄 I can understand how I say it would sound funny to you. When I first heard my British friends say “aluminium” I was shocked and laughed, and said, “Say that again! That’s delightful to hear! ” I found it made me happy to hear it. I liked how it sounded and it’s so fun for me to butcher it…aka my attempts at pronouncing it the way they did. 😄
I have gotten better at sticking up for myself at work, especially at home….I’m still working on it. I still apologize too much, my boss tells me at work almost daily. The good thing is I’m improving, at least I think so….😃
Thank you again for your kind words. Xx
And now all together: “Eichhörnchen”.
Lol, “squirrel” in German is a tongue-twister. Eichhörnchen🤪
In World War 2, suspected German spies were asked to say “squirrel” as they struggled to say it correctly in English, thus their cover was blown.
Just like yours “Sir”.
Jordyguin and HG,
😄😄 You two have me imagining German soldiers struggling with saying “squirrel” correctly and sweating, getting frustrated and panicking all at once, very amusing image, made me laugh, HG and Jordyguin…thank you both! Xx
Ooh I see, you want me to say this word. Well you wouldn’t believe what happened. Yesterday I was walking down the street in LONDON. ENGLAND — my home country where I was BORN and RAISED. I love, LOVE my home country so much, so, so much. And as I was walking I slipped and fell on my tongue and broke it! Yeah. I know. Unbelievable. Now I sound like a German spy or something when I say “squirrel”… Would „Eichhörnchen“ count?
Regarding the WWII fact about squirrels and German…fascinating fact, sir.
A similar technique was used in the Pacific to determine if someone was Japanese and a spy. Passwords had the letter ‘L’ because that sound doesn’t exist in Japanese.
Thanks for the laugh, Dani. The links were a welcome salve for my anxiety. The depictions do represent the scenarios which fuel my concern. The very weight and import of such waves of female desire bashing against the rock that is our dear Mr. Tudor keeps me awake sometimes. I found the animations you chose very cute.
However, the footage which plays in my mind of Mr. Tudor bearing the collective–er, energy–of our SPs isn’t cute at all. Not by a long shot. Those films make even me want to pray for the man. Good thing he’s a hybrid.
HG, regarding to call you AI: What would the letters A and I stand for in your case? Artificial I?
You misread.
Al. Not Ai.
He is referring to the song Call Me Al,
and to the symbol of the element aluminum, which is Al.
/my last two euros
Correct. I’m pleased Someone understood.
You can call me Betty then
I think lush is better.
Or simply kings of London?
HG and AC,
I got it and remember the song and video with Chevy Chase in it. 😄 xx
AC,
The Periodic table of Elements was my second thought, the Al symbol of that fun word for me to mess up every time. 😄xx
Grace,
I was confused by his comment as well, lol
I’m not well versed in HG’s play on words yet.
And I had no idea there is a song about Al, nor why there would be, lol
As we’re currently kings and this is VERY likely to continue. You can call me what you like xx
Jordy, indeed! 🙂
Almost, almost. Perfect “R” for an Englishman! 🙂
A hard “R” is my favorite letter when swearing. This letter, very strongly accented, contains the most popular Polish curse word. When I’m in a high rage phase, but for various reasons I cannot say this word, the sequence itself brings relief: “RRRRRRRRRRR!” Phew, even while writing I felt the pressure release 🙂
Joa,
I get so amused when HG cusses in his TOW videos, usually in reference to something dumb TOW did or said…the words he uses, how he says them, I just find them very entertaining and a delight to my ears! Xx
Rebecca, although I won’t be tempted anyway, your words are the most encouraging advertisement for the Meghan series 🙂
Actually, Rebecca, I’m concerned about the impact of all this female empath attention on Mr. Tudor. Look at us–we’re falling all over each other from enjoying him in new languages! I’m ashamed of myself.
He claims he’s bearing up, but I just don’t know how. So many women ready to rip him apart like Dionysus? And despite this danger he’s so gracious to us.
I–I don’t know how he manages. His strength of mind…his detachment…ah…his elegant diphthongs, glides, and liquids! So stunning! So–brave!!
Allison and Joa,
I believe HG will absorb all of our admiration and gratitude with all the strength and bravery HG has within that gorgeous mind and…oh, body….of his…sorry, my mind…my imagination…HG is capable of taking us all on….my mind again…no worries there! 😄xx
Allison–
Your words brought this to mind…is this the situation you worry of HG being in?
https://i.gifer.com/U6RD.gif
I think it’s more like:
https://www.deviantart.com/toongod/art/Harem-Girls-GIF-17-813913471
Prince HG, fabulous he…HG the Ultra…
or

Look there, he goes! Isn’t he dreamy…Monsieur HG, oh he’s so cute…
Dani,
Your video clips are both accurate and hilarious! 😆😆xx
So, Rebecca…did you touch his elbow or get his sweatband?
@joa
All I be hearing is kurwa
Witch, yes, unfortunately that is the word. You can see, that my compatriots don’t spare their language 🙂 Some people use every 5th word, like a comma in a sentence. This is terrible.
We got that word, too. We “borrowed” it from the slavs. “A kurva életbe!!” (Life is a “working girl”), while “kurva” is a “borrowed” slavic word and “élet” comes from the finnish “elämä”. When my computer doesn´t work the way I want or is too slow I berate it like: “Az anyád picsája!!” (“I curse the **** of your mother”)😁
@joa
Believe me I’m not judging!
I have a love hate relationship with living in London but moments like this video makes me love London because where else in the world would this take place? 😂
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGefACxKq/
Witch, quite typical behavior, we are rather open and sociable people. We love everyone, especially “after my aunt’s name day” 🙂
Although compared to Ukrainians, we are more like stiffs.
Weak “R” in this movie. They put quantity over quality 🙂
Leela, in our country “kurwa” has two meanings:
– a curse as an expression of every emotion, from delight, through surprise, to rage,
– prostitute.
A milder and more civilized form is “kurde”.
@Joa
Don’t worry, you’re no way as stiff as the Welsh 🤣
When I tell you it’s hard work to get the party started with them… labour intensive, mate
So true!! R is very powerful indeed. Gotta pay attention to it, lol! Think of the power words like; Reign; Rage; Race; Rocket; Reality… They all start with “R”.
(In German these R-words are basically identical.)
Jordy, yes, words containing the letter “r” also associate me with power.
When I was choosing a name for my daughter – it had to meet two conditions. Firstly, it should start with the same letter as N2 name (it’s a shame to comment on that). Secondly, contain the letter “r”, because women with “r” in their name are tough, strong – however strange and funny my theory may seem, it works in my family.
There are times when I regret putting an “r” in her name 🙂
Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran.
Jordyguin and Joa,
The r’s are better than the p words…and less tongue twisting too. Xx
“ Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran.”
I need an asmr video of you whispering this repeatedly but I don’t want to pay for it 🤣
Life sucks eh?
🔥„Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran.“🔥
*Fainting couch! Fainting couch!* It’s Rrrr-time❤️📖
The rock was radioactive?!
Thank you Joa,
The TOW videos, especially the Sugars ones, are loaded with HG’s humour and at the same time you learn something new about narc behaviors. It is worth listening to and I don’t like TOW either. 😄xx
Joa:
I wish I spoke Polish, German or Russian. I speak French. Now there is R to recognize. Au revoir! Lol Some Spanish… those Rs roll…
I wonder if HG’s ability to speak German reveals something like a parent who spoke it? H.G.? My father spoke German and Friesland Dutch. I know a few words only.
H.G. were any of your parents German speakers or German?
Dani,
Did I touch his elbow, or get his sweatband…I was thinking of those shorts! 😁😆🤭xx
Rebecca…
*grabs towel and holds it up to protect Mr. Tudor from prying eyes*
Jordyguin,
I listened to the video yesterday, very amusing! Reminds me of the “Rrrrruffles have rrrridges” commercials. Xx
I listened to it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hARurFLGGf4
My favorite word spoken by HG is “again” 😀
He has different varieties of it.
And did you hear it too? In this video his “thank you” at the end sounded differently than in the past.
Ask a German comedian from Bavaria to pronounce a soft “Rrrr”:
Gerhard Polt: “Toleranz”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pJA5mbtkUo
Darin kann man einiges als German Empath lernen, z.B. wie man sich abgrenzt und wie man gut “Nein!!!” sagt und wie man gut seine Wutgefühle nutzen kann:
– “Spezi, damit ma uns kloarrr verstehn, … ” (Spezi ist ein Getränk und bedeutet in Süddeutschland, Österreich salopp: Spezieller Freund, Busenfreund)
– Auf die Frage “Sind Sie tolerant?” “Nein!!!”
German is up and going! I hope many non-English German speakers will find help through this. Glueckwunsch, Herr Tudor!
Heilige Scheiße HG! You sound intimidating in English, but in German you are absolutely terrifying!
Do Russian, do Russian!
Joking aside, congrats on the launch of this project. Narcissism is a universal language.
K@ sag bloss, you speak german and russian?! F*cking A, girl!!
Many from the former “DDR” (GDR) speak German and Russian. And I think “Ossis” ROCK! 🤘👍😉 I speak German and urm..some bad Russian too, and I´m not even German! 😂😉 But I LOVE Germany (except for the current government of course)! ♥️♥️
Oh boy! Мой русский язык не очень хорош (My Russian is not very good), but I would definitely check it out. Ich spreche fließend Deutsch, yo hablo espanol, guess my English is okay, but Russian and French could be quite a challenge for me. 😂
Schwester, there is no such thing as “My Russian is not very good”.
If it’s Russian – it’s good🙈💕
Danke Schwester! Well, It´s the only slavic language in my repertoire and the grammar is not exactly easy. 😂😂
Al Pacino (in Any Given Sunday): If it were easy, everyone would do it😂
I know what you mean, it’s a ⚔️ sometimes.
Learning it was a pain in the… (insert word here) sometimes. 😂😂😂
Lol, I insert „empathic perspective“. Russian grammar is a narcissist – the endings of words change all the time depending on what you must assert control over.
EXACTLY THIS!!! Those f*ing endings!!!! I already know this VERY WELL from my native language, which is 1) not slavic and 2) there´s a clear logic behind the endings and they are pretty much the same for the cases and the persons. 😂😂😂 You pretty much know, when it´s f.e. 1st person plural and case XY then you can get the endings right. So, it´s very “empathic”. 😂 But in Russian it´s sometimes this, sometimes that and I gave up on seeing a logic behind them and just learnt them by heart! 😂🤪🤪🤪🤪
Little fun fact: In my very empathic native language you don´t even have to worry about “C”, “B” “y” “na” and then the ending. Life can be so easy: “für den Salat”, “Для салата”, which means “for the salad”. ONE WORD! “Coffee with milk”, “Kaffee mit Milch”, “Кофе с молоком”: ONE WORD! “On the floor”, “Auf dem Boden”, “На земле”: ONE WORD! So, why use three words if you can use just one? 😂🤪😜
And people say that learning my native language and the whole language family is an EVEN BIGGER pain in the a* than Russian? 😂🤪
Russian is one of the easier Slavic languages.
If Russian is difficult – you would have to try to learn Polish 🙂 Or Czech 🙂 Similar rules, but more developed grammar.
—–
I studied Russian for 12 years (obligatory), since I was a small child, so I never really learned it, I just understood it and spoke Russian without thinking as if I were speaking my own language.
All those Russian songs… I still have them in my head and I sing them sometimes.
Just like my daughter does with English at the moment.
—–
I admire your willingness to learn a foreign language. In this respect, I am a terrible lazy person.
LOL 😂 I already speak 7 languages, the 8th one is probably going to be Italian. And I´m happy with 2 finno-ugric languages, 2 romance languaes, 2 Germanic languages and ONE slavic language. Slavic peoples are great, but ONE slavic language is enough, thank you very much! 🤪
Hehe, yep, I know what you mean. Russian is very „free“, very flexible. Perhaps that’s why Russians are so obsessed with comedy shows, live comedy, comedy competitions, it’s massive. Though drama is massive too. Extremes…
German language for instance I find to be very empathic/truth seeking in nature. Even if you take the German word for truth; Wahr/Wahrheit and look at the deviations; Wahrnehmung (perception), Wahrscheinlichkeit (probability), Wahrsagung (divination) and then go further with Gewahrsam (custody), Währung (currency), Bewahrung (preservation) – there is still the word Wahr (true/truth) in all of them which defines the meaning so you don’t lose the link of the purpose and its essence. This amazes me about the German language🥰
German was the first foreign language I learnt. I learnt it at early age but I remember being confronted the first time with “der, die, das”: male, female and neutrum. Hey, uralic languages don´t have that! 😂 I remember the cute little picture-cards with “der Apfel”, “das Haus”, “die Frau”, that was adorable! 🥰 English was easy, you don´t have to take care of all this, French and Spanish have “le” and la” or “el” and “la” – and then Russian: male, female, neutrum, and SIX cases! 😂🤪 German has four (Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ, Genitiv). But big fun stuff about Russian is that my native languages has a LOT of “borrowed” Russian words!! 😱 Even though it´s not slavic, but uralic! 🤪😂 You know, those languages with the ultrasupermegacalifrágilisticéxpialígócious words. 😜
I studied German for 4 years. For a Pole, easy pronunciation, easy accent and quite assimilable. But I can’t stand this language, this dislike is probably passed on in the genes… It’s so hard, stiff, rigid, commanding. I live in the former Prussian partition, many words still exist here, even in my family, and I use them myself – with exaggerated accents. For example, when my daughter doesn’t want to get up in the morning, I say loudly: “Aufstehen!” – which means that I am already at the limit of my endurance. And German curses, I can still hear them on the streets 😀
In Polish we also have masculine, feminine and neuter types of nouns; 7 cases of declination; flexion; syntax for combining words; inflected numbers, nouns, verbs, adjectives; prepositions and pronouns are also inflected, difficult spelling (e.g. “u” – “ó” and “ż” – “rz” and “h” – “ch” are pronounced identically, but each word has a different form of writing), we have live endings and inanimate (nouns referring to people, animals, plants, and inanimate objects are declined differently), and a lot of rustling, whistling voiced sounds, silent sounds and fricative sounds (e.g. “ś”, “ć”, “ż”, “ź”, “dź”, “sz”), which are very difficult to to pronounce for foreigners, and which I love so much – especially those made by softening nouns, take you back to childhood or remind you of the murmur of a stream 🙂
If I were to learn any language now, it would only be Italian or Turkish. I like both and know them both a bit. Embarrassing level, but I can understand something there.
Hmmm… put it on my retirement to-do list 😀
Aaaaw, Poland? Well, ALMOST neighbor! 😜Yes, Polish people are neither big fans of Germans nor of Russians (generally speaking). 😉 I´m Hungarian, by the way. 😁
Liebe Schwestern 🙂
I like your comments about German and other languages a lot.
It makes me look at my mother language from a different perspective and with new insights.
Thank you. Danke schön = A beautiful thank you 😀
PS: I am from the wild, wild South-West of Germany (Black Forest) so beside from English as a first language I learned and love French (because it is close by 🙂
I LOVE the black forest!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Enjoyed vacations there several times!!! Went there mountainbiking. And the “Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte” is my ALL TIME FAVORITE cake EVER!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 (Whoah, there it is, significant Geyser minority trait!). 😂
Leela, seven?!! Wow!!👏 And one word for three words in your origin?! Now you gotta reveal your language, senpai!!!
I´m originally from the Rebulic of Hungary and my native language is Hungarian, which is a finno-ugric language. 😜
Magyarország Személyjövedelemadó (means: Income tax in Hungary, Einkommenssteuer in Ungarn). 😂😂
Liebes, Grace, you’re so lovely🌷💕And what a mythical place to be🌲✧
K,
I agree with you, HG’s German made my heart race, so intimadating, but yet still so melt worthy. Xx 😁
