I guess a standard for depiction in movies but they shouldn’t depict Germans like that in movies especially since it’s actually illegal in Germany to say nice things about that person. So props to Germany. I forgive you, I would still forgive you, even if you made it legal to say nice things about that man even though that man thought that it was OK to do those things. It’s tragic that that man thought he was doing the right thing because he was doing the opposite of what’s right. if that man properly knew what was actually right and what was actually wrong then the world would be a much better place. Or at least Germany would be, but Germany is good enough and I have nothing against the way that Germany is now, but if that Austrian painter actually knew right from wrong, then Germany would be even better than the way it is now. it would go from good to great. So for all you Germans out there, my sincerest condolences that your society had to go through that. To the people who were victimized when society went through that, I offer my sincerest condolences. It is tragic that those events happened and I hope that it never happens again.
Funnily enough, I thought German was a "playful" sounding language for a while because the most exposure I got to the language was from a German children's TV channel that was randomly on our network when I was a kid. Really goes to show that any language isn't one specific tone, it's the person speaking it who provides that tone. That really should be obvious to everyone.
i was expecting him to crash and actually scream something harsh in german. I'm actually learning german with online courses and i was surprised to find german a very chill language overall. It even gets so formal that it gets cold.
I understand very much. I’m Russian and I notice similar clichés with my language (although more so with German). This always amuses and surprises me, because I studied German as a child and it never seems harsh and rude ro me I remember how I taught “Stille Nacht” and it was incredibly beautiful and tender.
and it's generally easier to growl German, compared to English. And it doesn't help that the only German music a lot of people encounter are Rammstein (with Till singing often intentionally harsh) to match the tone of the music.
@Sweet Foxy EU Can you give me an example of that? "R"s in the middle or end of the word, I agree with, but as a starting consonant it seems to be about the same, with German being harsher in my opinion.
Native speaker of German here: I suspect a lot of foreign speakers get their idea what German sounds like from movies about WWII, and think normal German sounds like the tone and accent used by mid 20th century military officers. It doesn't, that way of speaking sounds very odd to modern speakers.
@@Bolsty7 Nazis existed everywhere in Germany at the time, not just in the military. The way of speaking that I mean really is specific to the military and groups adjacent to it like the SS, I think.
I grew up close friends with a German American kid. His parents were friends with mine and his mom taught me piano, so I heard them speaking German fairly often. And they were a very soft spoken people. They never raised their voice and were always very polite, so to get older and discover the stereotype that the German language is loud and harsh was quite a shock to me.
I have a German friend and the other day we had a conversation about the exact same thing. He says everyone in the U.S. says German sounds aggressive especially with words like krankenwagen. In reality anytime he speaks German it's always very gentle and calm.
The same argument goes for the italian language, when someone tries to speak italian in a movie, they automatically turn into Super Mario wich is not at all how the language is usually spoken.
In fact, most don’t even understand the fact that the speaker’s voice and things like accent and intonation etc are what create the actual sound, so they are always judging the actual sound / tone / intonation etc, not the actual language, in fact, most don’t even look at the actual words in their written form - German words follow the same logical patterns that all other Germanic languages do, so they are quite similar in many ways, and there are even many German words used in English that ppl don’t know are from German, yet no one is saying they sound harsh, which shows that it’s not the language itself / the words, because it’s not the language itself that sounds harsh, since harshness is something that can only be created by the voice of the speaker, including natural tone and the heaviness of the voice and accent / intonation / way of speaking etc, and a speaker with a very rough / deep / heavy and dry voice will always sound harsh, no matter what language that speaker speaks in, but a speaker with a softer voice can also use a harsh intonation / way of speaking (as demonstrated in the video) on purpose, but, again, it’s not the language itself, because the spoken language depends on the speakers technically!
I always hated the way people said Schmetterling while making fun of german. I always found the word to be extremely soft when pronounced the correct way
I was in Germany for almost 3 months. The stereotypes of German people couldn’t be farther from the truth. I didn’t understand German, maybe like 1% (Danke, bitte, basic numbers etc) and I was surprised that even in a small town, far away from the city, people understood English, some in their 60’s/70’s! Great service everywhere, even with the language barrier. It NEVER sounded aggressive but some people had an accent that made them sound like a puppet or an AI trying to speak.

I’m german on my mothers side so we visit every few years and many younger people know English since it is such a universal language. The older folks may not know as much depending on who you’re talking to but they still will use translators if they have them to speak to you easier.

@@AthenaOrlov Yeah but like all African people I have every heard all just speak very happy, even when they try to speak English, the accent is just so different haha
German sounds beautiful, people just overexaggerate and butcher german words they see online The only difference is that german is very choppy sounding, to me as a french person. Not in a bad way, but more so that there's quite a bit of 'stops' between words when in french you would otherwise pronounce it all together in one continuous flow. But overall, hearing it being spoken by natives in a neutral setting, makes me really love it and it's one of the reasons why I am trying to learn it
This was the hardest part about learning French as a native German speaker. Like why do you guys speak as if every word is connected? Your sentences sound like they just consist of one very long word, basically a "Wortwurst" haha. I can't really talk like that, it's so hard to speak that fast, I just always make pauses after almost every word because it's more natural to me.
Its kinda funny to watch people try german words and end up in screaming their soul out, because they can’t spell some letters that way it is intended in german.
in german the written letters in a word have a reason to be there because they have to be pronounced. there are only few examples where a word is not written as it is pronounced (at least if the person trying to write it is pronouncing it correctly)
when i was in a swiss town once, there were people playing minigolf and one missed his shot and started cursing: "motherf*cker". now imagine the most swiss way of pronouncing that, it was hilarious. something like: mazerfackchre
high german ("Hochdeutsch") and swiss german ("Alemannisch") are objectively 2 languages that contain many similarities but differ clearly in terms of pronounciation overall. They are in fact so far apart from each other that they are on the brink of being considered two seperate languages.
für die, die das nicht verstehen: poopenfarten ist ein "meme" das sich über die Deutsche Sprache lustig macht. Ich sah schon relativ ähnliches wie zB. Woofenbarken als angebliche Wort für Hund. Wenn man sich schon über die deutsche Sprache lustig macht dann zumindest mit real existierenden sachen und nicht mit solch einen scheiß.
Every language sounds aggressive if you can’t speak it correctly at mispronounce every word if it to sound more harsh. It’s cultural ignorance at it’s heart.
@@SpecterNeverSpectator My point still stands you „can“ make it sound aggressive. But by doing that you aren’t speaking any German because you pronounce every word wrong it‘s just jibberish then.

When people say "Good day!" in Holland Sauron opens the black gates to Mordor. I dare you to say "Groningen" three times at night without summoning a swamp monster!
Hey hey hey, we don't all do that everywhere, only in the north west :P
@@AthenaOrlov Yeah but like all African people I have every heard all just speak very happy, even when they try to speak English, the accent is just so different haha

Bro woke up and decided to speak facts
In German the stress in a word i always on the first letter. That contributes to the sharp sounds
If his voice was higher, he could sound exactly like Medic from TF2
German sounds beautiful, people just overexaggerate and butcher german words they see online
The only difference is that german is very choppy sounding, to me as a french person. Not in a bad way, but more so that there's quite a bit of 'stops' between words when in french you would otherwise pronounce it all together in one continuous flow.
But overall, hearing it being spoken by natives in a neutral setting, makes me really love it and it's one of the reasons why I am trying to learn it
This was the hardest part about learning French as a native German speaker. Like why do you guys speak as if every word is connected? Your sentences sound like they just consist of one very long word, basically a "Wortwurst" haha. I can't really talk like that, it's so hard to speak that fast, I just always make pauses after almost every word because it's more natural to me.

this is so true !!
What you are describing is called a glottal stop, which is used in Standard German before every word that starts with a vowel.
Same with "Butterfly." if you do this with the word it becomes angry. Who could have guessed that it sounds angry when you talk in a angry voice.
Well ther's another reason for such reputation that shall remain unnamed.
As a german I really dont think our language sounds harsh and aggresive
Even when people speak assi-german it doesnt sound harsh by default
The fuck is "ass-German"
Assi-German*
@@tyrionlannister7070 something like a "Gangsta slang"
@@driver694 yeah but mostly used by teenagers
Its kinda funny to watch people try german words and end up in screaming their soul out, because they can’t spell some letters that way it is intended in german.
in german the written letters in a word have a reason to be there because they have to be pronounced. there are only few examples where a word is not written as it is pronounced (at least if the person trying to write it is pronouncing it correctly)
The way he says butterfly aggressively 😂😂
Nice counter attack 🤣👍
When you said “Butterfly” like that, I spat out my drink a little 😂🤣
Pog clip
Pog comment ❤
They should use Swiss German though, we have much harder pronounced sounds like the ch or even the pronounciation of the k is harsher
Säg mal Chuchichäschtli
when i was in a swiss town once, there were people playing minigolf and one missed his shot and started cursing: "motherf*cker". now imagine the most swiss way of pronouncing that, it was hilarious. something like: mazerfackchre
@namensklauer yeah exactly😂
@@namensklauer ich sterbe 😂
high german ("Hochdeutsch") and swiss german ("Alemannisch") are objectively 2 languages that contain many similarities but differ clearly in terms of pronounciation overall. They are in fact so far apart from each other that they are on the brink of being considered two seperate languages.
this actually cleared up the misconception for me as a monolingual english speaker. thank you so much!
They should hear a regular "Tschüss" said to strangers, high tone will blow their minds
When you realize Germans don’t say “poopenfarten” when they have to take a schitt
Was
Hääääääää?!
What is "poopenfarten"?
@@FarrahKeks idk
für die, die das nicht verstehen:
poopenfarten ist ein "meme" das sich über die Deutsche Sprache lustig macht. Ich sah schon relativ ähnliches wie zB. Woofenbarken als angebliche Wort für Hund. Wenn man sich schon über die deutsche Sprache lustig macht dann zumindest mit real existierenden sachen und nicht mit solch einen scheiß.
I completely agree! Exactly the same thing always bothered me
"Its time to take ze medicine"
I just think of high tech car commercials when I hear German.
i love the way german sounds, both "normal" and whenever spoken aggressively.
Every language sounds aggressive if you can’t speak it correctly at mispronounce every word if it to sound more harsh. It’s cultural ignorance at it’s heart.
@@MrXxHunter yes and no, you can easily make German sound aggressive while other languages not as much, trying to make people have less fun is stupid.
@@SpecterNeverSpectator My point still stands you „can“ make it sound aggressive. But by doing that you aren’t speaking any German because you pronounce every word wrong it‘s just jibberish then.
@@SpecterNeverSpectator yeah, fun at the expense of others though diminishes the overall fun, making it a less fun world overall. And that's kinda contrary to the goal if having fun (well, unless it's fun to be a biggot, but that doesn't reflect well on yourself).
Also, you should learn a bit more history if you think it's a good idea to make fun of Germans, my people learned the hard way.
Just you wait until they find "Bruttosozialprodukt".
I wonder how they would pronounce it
@@ALoot They just don’t
He woke up and chose to speak the truth

How you name a 30 m tall butterfly in german? A Zerschmetterling.
90 foot please

"Meine" Einheiten sind schon auch die metrischen, so wie bei fast der gesamten restlichen Welt. Ich habe einen Scherz gemacht, bezogen auf den englischen Kommentar eines Deutschen der Meter benutzt.
Also nein, ich benötige keinen Taschenrechner, selbst wenn ich Fuß auf Meter umrechne nicht, zumindest grob.
people just haven't met a relaxed german
Endlich sagt’s mal jemand!
Was kinda expecting it to clip to Granady raging 😂
And if you pronounce "Krankenwagen" in a really drawn-out manner, you've got a coldmirror quote.

the funniest Batta-Falaii pronunciation heard in my life, thank you
People who say that should listen to the german version of the Wolven Storm, the song from the Wticher 3 that is sung in the tavern once.
Very good example tbh
We all know it's because of Mustache Man.
First, Austria steals our language then they send a dictator 😂
"German sounds like such a harsh language."

okay but i love kummerspeck

oh shit dat deep
every language sounds aggressive when you say it aggressively
wow this clip blew up so much, insane
If you want to experience the beauty the german language can offer, hear some of the romantic era songs, i. e. those in the "Winterreise" (winter journey) by Schubert.
He makes a good point, tbh, I honestly think if hitler screaming in his speeches when I think of the German language
Hearing hitler speak in his normal, non-propaganda voice is a weird experience. Google it.
This man is playing trackmania with a wheel. Guddamn
It's a misconception from American movies. I'm French and to be fair, our language can be harsher than the German one at times. And then you have Dutch which goes completely under the radar to English speakers lmao
Similar often happens with russian, people make very low voice when they "speak it" and "R" sounds way more harsh
Am I the only one who thinks that a german accent is adorable? I love this
No I'm here too you're not the only one :)
It is adorable for sure
i dont understand people who say some accent is adorable etc. i get it you like how it sounds but it also depends on a person, you won't say an old angry man has an adorable accent
"Butt-er-fly" He said in an aggresive clearly German accent.
