“When your school leaves a huge monitor unwatched”
Tag: german
Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
…there’s a word for this?
yeah it’s all explained on LingBlog
The problem with German isn’t the monster words since those are all compounds and pretty easy to figure out if you slow the fuck down and have a small idea of how pronunciation works, the problem is why the fuck German felt the need to have so many versions of “the” and “a”.
German language in a nutshell. (by Dystopian Comics)
Tbh the idea that German is an angry or ugly language is just French propoganda to divert attention away from the fact that French sounds exactly like when your dog is choking on some plastic wrapper he found somehow
for the most part german sounds exactly as it looks and their words make sense ie submarine’s logic: ‘boat that goes underwater? let’s call it underwaterboat’
french is a hell language that the french are elitist about and act prissy over even though like 50% of the letters that make up any given word don’t even get pronounced
Just to add, as a former opera singer I had the delight of finding that the spoken French I knew was of almost no use when it came to singing because they literally could not sing the way they speak it. We had a fluent French speaker in our year who was advised not to sing in French because learning all the new rules might fuck up her spoken French. French is fucked up.
Btw best language to sing in? Italian, hands down. Best language to speak, German hands down. Best for poetry though? Honestly English, because we have so many different words for the same fucking things, even if most of them are stolen, that means when you’re painting in English you have a bigger pallette.
French is pretty good for sounding fancy, I guess. If you like that sort of thing.
I literally speak French and even I know it’s condescending
The whole thing just comes from rich English snobs using French language and fashion to assert how much better they were than everyone
All you have to do to debunk “French is fancy and pretty” is listen to 20 seconds of Quebec French b/c Quebec French sounds like a mean duck doing a bad impression of a duck he doesn’t like.
That is the best description of Québécois French I’ve ever fucking heard.

Werde ich die Verlängerung überleben?
Ich glaube nicht xD
Eu quero fazer mais do que ler. Mas a minha escrita é triste e sem graça.
Schade, es tut mir leid.

As someone who’s half french I can attest this French does sound like that and yes German does sound better
