How German sounds compared to other languages like English, Spanish, French and Italian.
Enjoy!
Because of all those World War 2 Nazi movies, the German language really has a bad reputation in the States. But as Copy Cat Channel points out, they can’t help it. German just sounds so harsh compared to other languages, like French or Italian.
To demonstrate this, they compare common words in English, Spanish, French, and Italian with German and end up with hilarious results.
A Cuban, a Scot, a Spaniard, and an Irishman are sharing a carriage on a train to Belfast.
The Cuban lights up this enormous Cuban cigar, takes one short drag from it and flings the cigar out the window.
The other three look at him in amazement and ask why he just threw out a full Cuban cigar.
He says, “I’m from Cuba, we have thousands of those things back home.”
The Scot pulls out a litre bottle of Bells Whiskey, a 50 year-old bottle, takes a short measure glass, half fills it, knocks it back and flings the remainder of the bottle out the window.
The other three are in shock, ask him why he just threw away a near full bottle of fine malt Scottish whiskey??!!
He replies, “I’m Scottish, we have thousands of those things at home.”
The Spaniard pulls out a flagon of red wine, a 100 year-old classic. He takes a couple of sips, licks his lips, and flings the remainder of the wine out the window.
The other three ask him why he just threw away a near full bottle of classic wine, he replies, “I’m Spanish, I have thousands of those things back home.”
The Irish then grabs the Spaniard and throws him out of the window.
These soldiers are drilling in formation. One shoots the beret off of another, who seems unfazed. Either he has nerves of steel or doesn’t realize what happened.
