🇩🇪 Berlin dialect!

You probably already know that in Germany there are is a huge number of dialects (about 50 🔥). And the capital is no exception. Here it is called Berlinerisch, and speaking it - Berlinlinern.

🇫🇷For example, one such word came from French - blümerant, which is short for bleu mourant - dead blue. (Mir is janz blümerant = I feel bad).

In addition, Jewish refugees who settled in the city since the sixteenth century influenced the dialect. As a result, such words as Schlamassel (failure), Stuss (nonsense), Mischpoche (relatives) arose in the Berlin dialect.

🇩🇪 Berliners themselves love their dialect, and constantly use it in everyday speech. The most common dialect can be heard in parts of the city such as Pankow, Spandau and Treptow-Köpenick.

📌The Berlin dialect is characterized by the replacement of the accusative case with the dative, which was called "Accudativ". An example would be a phrase like “Ick liebe dir”. Often endings in words are omitted, and some letters change as follows:

▪️g goes to j (instead of “gut” they say “jut”)

▪️ei changes to ee (“kleine” will sound like “kleene”)

▪️s is often replaced by t (not “es”, but “et”)

▪️ch goes to ck (not ich, but ick)

📌 Often words merge with each other, for example: sehen Sie - sehnSe

From a narrative sentence in a Berlin dialect it is easy to make an interrogative. To do this, it is enough to just put the question wa? (was?)

🔥 Berlin-German-English dictionary:

Alsche - Alte, Frau - old woman, woman
baff - verblüfft - stunned
Destille - Kneipe - Brewhouse
Feez - Spaß - pleasure
happig - viel, stark - many, strong
jewieft - schlau - sly
Kaffer - Mann, Bauer - man, peasant
Koks - Geld - money
koofen - kaufen - buy
Lorke - schlechter Kaffe - bad coffee
Ooge - Auge - eye
Polente - Polizei - Police
Quetsche - kleiner Laden - small shop
rammdösich - dumm - stupid
Stulle - belegtes Brot - sandwich

⚡️ Are these useful expressions?

❤️ "Like smth" in German

Today we’ll talk about how to say that we like something or someone (i.e. about objects and people)

📌Here comes into play one of the most versatile and convenient verbs with the meaning of like - gefallen.

Gefallen is used for almost everything (but apart from actions): I like this book - Mir gefällt das Buch / Du gefällst mir - I like you

📌 In addition, you can say "I like" with the verb mögen.

Ich mag Musik - I like music
Ich mag es nicht, dass sie ein Piersing hat - I don't like that she has piercings


🔹 We can also use mögen, talking about someone, and this someone will stand in Akkusativ.

Ich mag dich - I like you
Sie mag ihn - she likes him

🔥 (!) There is a pitfall for people. In general, the design does not carry anything special, but in some contexts a double meaning may arise. The fact is that in certain situations, Ich mag dich matters like being morally and physically, and the line is rather thin. So often men say to women and people who are not yet ready to say Ich liebe dich. That is, it can be perceived as a desire for a closer relationship. BUT, if you follow the correct intonation, then you will be understood completely correctly.

📌 And so we gradually got to the verb lieben - to love. If we like something very much, then we love it. The verb is also universal in its own way, it can be applied to everything that you really like:

For instance,
▪️to objects and objects (construction: lieben + Akk)
Ich liebe mein Haus - I love my home
Er liebt diese Stadt - He loves this city

▪️to people and animals (design: lieben + Akk)
Sie liebt ihre Mutter - She loves mother
Wir lieben unsere Katze - We love our cat

📌And the construction haben + gern (gernhaben) closes our list - to like, to be in taste.

gernhaben = mögen in all its manifestations. This is a verb with a detachable prefix, while the haben is conjugated, and the prefix gern takes its place at the end of the sentence. Here are some examples:

Ich mag Pizza = Ich habe Pizza gern
Er mag diese Stadt = Er hat diese Stadt gern
Ich mag dich = Ich habe dich gern


There are no pitfalls in the meaning of gernhaben, this design is not used very often, but you need to know it.

🇩🇪Edible German words with an inedible meaning

😨 Today we will see how some edible products in the German language were transformed into something else and ceased to be edible.

🍌 And we will start with the expression Alles Banane! Literally translated as: “Everything is bananas!”. And it just means: "Everything is in order, everything is fine!" A good answer to the question: how are you?

🍌A, for example, the phrase "total Banane sein" has a completely different, negative meaning. It means to be stupid, meaningless.

🥓And the Germans coined the phrase: Es ist mir Wurst from their favorite sausage! She means "I don't care!"

🍚 German curd (Quark) is especially popular in German idioms. From a dairy product, he suddenly turned into a Quark reden - to carry nonsense.

Einen Quark verstehen - don't understand anything

Das geht dich einen Quark an - It doesn't concern you at all.

🧀A cheese, as a close relative of cottage cheese, also has sometimes similar meanings to it:

Rede keinen Käse! - Do not talk nonsense!

Das ist doch Käse, was du da machst! “What you do there is complete nonsense!”

🥛Milk Germans often compare with mood:

Bei ihm wird gleich die Milch sauer. “His mood will go bad now.”

🍪From cookies, the Germans coined the phrase
Du gehst mir auf den Keks! “You're getting on my nerves!”

Cookies are also used in such a phrase: Einen weichen Keks haben (ill .: have soft cookies) - to be out of your mind, to be crazy.

🍫 If someone wants to lead you through cocoa, it means they want to laugh at you, make fun of: Jemanden durch den Kakao ziehen. This is actually a friendlier and less offensive version of the phrase: jemanden durch den Dreck ziehen - lead someone through the mud.

🌯A here is a seasoning like mustard is used in the expression

Seinen Senf dazu geben - express your opinion unnecessarily.

Du musst nicht jedes Mal, wenn wir diskutieren, deinen Senf dazu geben. - You do not need to express your opinion every time we confer.

🥘If you hear the Eine dicke Suppe, then it is likely that we are talking about a weather phenomenon: a strong fog, which somehow reminds the Germans of soup ...

Well, since we were talking about soup, we should also mention the German Brühe broth: it is sometimes used as the word "sweat":

Es ist so heiß! Sobald ich mich bewege, läuft mir die Brühe. - So hot! As soon as I move, sweat flows from me.

And here is another “bouillon” phrase: Eine lange Brühe über etwas machen - means talking for a long time about something.

🍐 Pear in German is one of the synonyms for the word "head".

Having a soft pear - eine weiche Birne haben - means being stupid, or even crazy.

But something in its pear to have - etwas in der Birne haben - means, on the contrary, to be clever.

🍯 Those with hat oil - Öl am Hut haben - are considered drunk.

Alles in Butter! - means "everything is in order!" Although German butter has a completely different meaning.

When the Germans say "have butter on their head" - "Butter auf dem Kopf haben" - it means to have an unclean conscience.

Rosinen im Kopf haben - look through pink glasses.

🥬A if someone is going to heat up old cabbage - alten Kohl aufwärmen means now he will talk about something long ago done and forgotten, and sometimes very boring ...

🙀 Hendiadyoin in German(forgive me for the Hendiadyoin, but that's the topic😂)

👍🏻Not afraid of the name? And rightly so!

Hendiadyoins are just figures of speech that express one concept with two lexical units.

💥 For example: tear and throw, neither fish nor meat.

ab und zu - from time to time

um Leben und Tod - not for life, but for death

hier und jetzt - here and now

hinter Schloss und Riegel - locked, locked up

ganz und gar - completely

Geld und Gut - money and goods

in Hülle und Fülle - in excess, above the roof

ehrlich und offen - honest and open

bitten und flehen - ask and beg

blühen und gedeihen - bloom and prosper

einsam und verlassen - lonely and abandoned

für immer und ewig - forever and ever

Tag und Nacht - day and night

toben und rasen - tear and throw

mit Ach und Krach - somehow, with sin in half

kreuz und quer = along and across

über Stock und Stein - at breakneck speed

nach und nach - gradually, little by little

vor Tau und Tag - no light, no dawn

mit Rat und Tat - by deed and word

einsam und allein - alone

nie und nimmer - for no reason

hegen und pflegen - grooming and cherishing

Heim und Herd - a home

Himmel und Hölle - heaven and hell

hoffen und bangen - fear and hope

im Großen und Ganzen - by and large

klipp und klar - definitely

Now you know what hendiadyoins are 😉

🇩🇪 German mentality in steady terms

Stress, Maß, Kontrolle: What German persistent expressions can be found in communication?

🤝 In business negotiations, the Germans are able to quickly move to the point. The corresponding expression auf den Punkt kommen (auf den Punkt bringen) is often used in German. (Der Punkt in German means not only “point”, but also “moment, question”.

😥 But here Ich habe Stress is a common expression used in other languages. The specificity of its use in the German language consists only in the frequency of its use. I forgot my phone number at home: Ich habe Stress, I didn’t charge gasoline: Ich habe Stress, I forgot to buy something: Ich habe Stress!

😠 It feels like they're just building a problem out of everything. But in fact, in German culture, people experience stress and a sense of fear, just being in a situation of suspense. Such a society is characterized by a high level of anxiety, so security and safety issues play an important role here.

💥 From an interesting point, this mental feature is illustrated by the idiom auf Nummer sicher gehen illustrates - to be safe, to be 100% sure. This expression goes back to "auf Nummer Sicher sitzen", where Nummer Sicher means a prison cell: prisoners are securely (sicher) hidden in numbered (Nummer) cells.

⚡️Psychologists also note that in a society with a high level of avoidance of uncertainty, they do not like risk. Observance of the measure (Maß halten - another “speaking” expression) is extremely important for German culture. And it’s understandable why - in such a society, people try to avoid everything extreme.

⏰ It is not surprising that the phrase Ich habe еinen Termin is often pronounced by the Germans as some kind of spell or mantra. Termin - an appointment, deadline, date - this is something very important. Therefore, do not laugh when your German friend says with a meaningful look: Ich habe keine Zeit, ich muss gehen, ich habe einen wichtigen Termin, but in fact he just means going to the hairdresser.

🤓 Etwas / Alles auf dem Schirm haben (control everything, keep it under control) is another phrase borrowed in professional vocabulary. We are talking about air traffic controllers that monitor flight safety on their monitors (Schirm). Therefore, this expression is used if someone pays particular attention to a particular case. By the way, psychologists again argue that this is the scourge of modern man: he always wants alles auf dem Schirm haben (to keep everything under control) - which is why the level of anxiety is so high in modern society.

😎 The list of such expressions can be easily continued! Naturally, you can find phrases that will contradict everything written above. However, being able to be attentive to what others are saying is a useful skill!

😍 Affectionate German names for loved ones

📌10 popular affectionate names that men say to women:

Süße - sweetheart

Sonnenschein - sunlight

Liebste, meine Liebe - my love

Baby - Baby

🇩🇪👍🏻 Important phrases to express consent

📌Math in German!

✅ And how are you with mathematics? Today is a post on multiplication and division. Not such a common topic, but not at all complicated!

👍🏻 Let's try it right away using an example:
3 × 2 = 6. How to say such a s entence in German?

First we must say in German “3” - “drei”, then the word “multiply” - “mal”, then “2” - “zwei”, then the verb “ist” and the result, that is, “6” - “sechs" .

❗️ Thus, we get the following:
3×2 = 6 drei mal zwei ist sechs

When dividing, we use the same scheme, the word "divide" - "durch".
For clarity, let's take an example: 20 : 4 = 5

We get 20 - "zwanzig"
"Split" - "durch"
4 - "vier"
Equals (is) - "ist"
5 - "fünf".

❗️ We collect the whole proposal together and we get:
20 : 4 = 5 zwanzig durch vier ist fünf

Let's practice (and at the same time remember the multiplication and division table) and solve the following examples:
3 × 9 = ...
5 : 5 =
7 × 8 =
10 : 2 =

Speak them out loud, it will be useful!

🙄 Apologies in German

😬 It is very important to be able to correctly and politely apologize in any language, including German.

❗️ Yes, today we are talking about that. You need to learn the apologies at the very, very beginning, because they will certainly be needed in life, at least in order to be polite.

🔥 The most common, generally accepted, and neutral are apologies with the verb (sich) entschuldigen and the noun die Entschuldigung. They are used without restrictions and in any situations, however, as mentioned above, speaking Ich entschuldige mich is not entirely correct (although German speakers often say that).

😳 The fact is that (sich) entschuldigen is a reflexive verb, which means that we return the action to ourselves. Literally it turns out, I apologize to MYSELF - this is incorrect, the interlocutor should excuse you, therefore we give the correct apologies:

Ich möchte mich bei Ihnen entschuldigen - I have to apologize to you (the most polite option)

Entschuldigen Sie mich bitte! - I'm sorry/Forgive me please

Ich bitte um Entschuldigung! - pardon me/I beg for your forgiveness

Entschuldigung! - Excuse me!

Ich möchte um Entschuldigung bitten! - I apologize to you

😥 A deeper apology for significant actions or deeds is customary to express with the verb verzeihen and the noun die Verzeihung:

Verzeihung! - Excuse me!

Verzeihen Sie mir bitte! - Excuse me, please!

Ich möchte um Verzeihung bitten! - I must apologize!

Ich bitte um Verzeihung! - I apologize!

Verzeihen Sie meinen Fehler! - Forgive my mistake!

😉When something minor happened, as they say, in passing, it is customary to apologize with the word Pardon! (To blame)
Such an apology does not oblige anyone to anything and is accepted only through informal communication.

🤓How else can you make amends? There are also “advanced” non-standard expressions, for example:

Was habe ich da angerichtet / gemacht / getan! - What have I done!

Wie kann ich das wieder gutmachen? - How can I make amends?

Seien Sie mir nicht böse! - Do not be angry at me!
Es tut mir leid! - I'm sorry!

😉 Finally, a case has occurred, an apology has been accepted, which can be heard in response:

Das macht nichts - nothing

Das war doch nicht so schlimm - It's okay/That's not bad at all

Kein Problem! Keine Frage! Kein Thema! - Not a problem

😎Now you are fully equipped. And if even a nuisance does happen, you can beautifully apologize. Then your opponent will have nothing to say except “macht nichts”.

🙏🏻 Express gratitude in German!

📌Today we will analyze stylistically elevated forms of gratitude

Officially Germans use a short adjective “grateful” - zu Dank verpflichtet sein:

I am very (so deeply, extremely) grateful to you! Ich bin Ihnen sehr zu Dank (so zu Dank, zu tiefem Dank, zu äußerstem Dank) verpflichtet!

How grateful to you! Ich bin Ihnen zutiefst dankbar!

👉🏻 For example:

You have done a lot for me. I am deeply grateful to you. - Sie haben sehr viel für mich getan. Ich bin Ihnen zu tiefem Dank verpflichtet.

The same can be expressed in a complex sentence indicating the causal justification of gratitude:

I thank you for ... Ich bin Ihnen für noun. in Akk. (zu Dank verpflichtet)

I am grateful to you that ... Ich bin Ihnen dankbar (zu Dank verpflichtet) dafür, dass ... / Ich bin Ihnen dankbar (zu Dank verpflichtet), weil ...

👉🏻 For example:

- I am very grateful to you for the provided help. - Ich bin Ihnen sehr dankbar für die erwiesene Hilfe.

- I am very grateful to you for reading my article. - Ich bin Ihnen sehr zu Dank verpflichtet, weil Sie meinen Artikel gelesen haben.

🌸 Statements with the word “grateful” - dankbar sein, as stylistically elevated, are applicable in a formal communication environment.
