Being German with a Ukrainian grandmother, I can promise that simply shouting a recipe in Russian will wither most people to the ground.

Heirate mich.

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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"...

[–] klieg2323@lemmy.piperservers.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Как дела?

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Спасибо, хорошо. Я Американец, изучаю русский язык. Первый год.

(Мне нужна была помощь от Google.)

[–] _cnt0@lemmy.villa-straylight.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Это здесь место встречи, где не русские говорят по-русски? (Я немец)

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Я так думаю, да.

Harrys Pferdeschnitzel, gestern noch geritten, heute schon mit fritten. Was möchten sie bestellen?

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hallo, ich hatte gestern bei euch ein schnitzel bestellt. Leider muss ich sagen dass es war ein bisschen unter gekocht, weil es hat mein stroh hut gegessen, und mein tochter hat ihm der ganze nacht geritten.

[–] samsy@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Sie waren wohl gestern da. Tja.

Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunternehmenbeamtengesellschaft

[–] moshankey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

One of my favorites. After learning insults in German and Spanish, English curses are weaksauce.

[–] adamantris@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you mean, Handkäs mit Musik (hand cheese "with music") is perfectly understandable!

[–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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.

obligatory link to How German Sounds Compared to Other Languages

[–] oliver@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

It's a tired joke missing any context or finesse but has some truth to it like most of these kind of stereotypes.

Bitte einen Viertelpfund-Cheeseburger, eine Brezel, ein Würstchen und einen Krug Bier!😆

I feel like Australians can take the insults up a notch.

Anything in chinese

[–] farofinha@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago

You should know how it works to say how you like your friend in the Brazilian/carioca way (Rio de Janeiro). It scares the shit out of anyone from outside there.
