I'd be pretty flattered to hear that. I know he really means it because anyone can say something was good, just to be polite. But to imply he wants it more often, that's solid and clear approval.
The strongest emotion you will ever see in a german: "it's ok" Ps. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I was trying to make everyone laugh. It won't happen again Ps2. I don't speak German, please, don't talk to me in German, I can't understand you
I must be part german ( actually know I'm 10%) but its like living in colorado you basically killed jesus if you say anything negative, and they have the right to purge you.
That is also some kind of illness, that almost everyone here is looking very carefully on the price when buying food. But when it comes to luxury items, nobody cares🤷
Cultures are different. It's important to know other cultures so you don't get offended at a different tradition. In some cultures like the American South it's polite to refuse food. If you spend the whole meal complaining about being fed, and refusing any more food, and no granny I refuse to allow you to serve me any pie I really have to get going okay I'll have one slice dang this is good. That's just normal. So you can say the food is good. But you should also work in some regret at being forced to eat, and you didn't have to go through all this trouble, and can you pass the butter, and oh no you didn't make my favorite casserole did you? Well dangit I guess I have to have a bite...

True (and apologies for the length) story: I attended Virginia Tech in the United States for my Masters and got to know a handful of German graduate students studying engineering. I enjoyed watching and talking about the Bundesliga as well as the Euro Cup. So we got along well. One of my friends (his name was Jan) was just like German Liam. Rolled his eyes every time I was being too loud, would pull his beer back every time I forgot to make eye contact. Despite the fact I thought he hated me, he came up to me with 6 American college football tickets at our university, gave me one, and said “this is your ticket, I want you to explain American football to me”. I took his invitation personally and did everything I could think of to make it the best experience they could have hoped for I picked up the boys on time, I had plenty of food and beer that I knew we liked, played a lot of drinking games and had a blast. I also suggested we walk the 2 miles to the stadium and made sure arrived 30 minutes prior to kickoff While it was a big group, I sat next to Jan. Most everyone was still partying and somewhat focused on the game. Jan and another German friend were intently watching, incredibly focused. About every other play, Jan would ask me a question, hanging on my every word. I tried to explain small comparisons with the Bundesliga (which was difficult, but I think I did alright). Our school won the game in dramatic fashion and I was so pumped. As we were leaving I asked “how was the game, did you have fun?” All Jan said was: “it was ok” As a person who grew up in the American Southeast I wasn’t angry, but I was completely crushed. I worked so hard and I just thought he still had the worst time. And so, not out of spite, but I didn’t invite him to the next home game. This was simply because I didn’t think he would have a good time Midweek one of my other German friends comes up to me and said, “did Jan do something that would make you not invite him to the next game?” And I just told him about the “ok” comment. And my other friend started howling saying that they really hadn’t taught me real German. So he goes on to say that Jan was completely crushed that I didn’t invite him, that he had the time of his life last time. Needless to say, I learned that “it was ok” was the greatest compliment he could have bestowed. And I swiftly invited him to the next game, and the rest of the games throughout the season.

I guess Middle-Norwegians (Trøndere), especially from the northern part of Trøndelag, is the Norwegian version of Germans. "There was no foul taste." is a high compliment.
I'm an American who's ancestors immigrated to the United States from Germany and the highest compliment you could give Grandma about her homemade, from scratch (honestly really good) German style Potato Salad was "It's edible" or "Can't complain." She considered gushy compliments to be insincere.
As a German I confirm that you will be regarded as superficial easily, if you are too helpful or too nice. I am somehow sorry about this, but all the wars ( 30 year war and both world wars ) here successfully killed all the happy, helpful people.
but its true. go to a store with everyone kissing your butt, you will know it's fake. if people just act normal you feel more as if you can trust them. and tbh, most food you eat will not be mind blowing so acting as if it was IS actually fake and would make me question it every time because not every meal can be "crazy good", you know.
Same, my grandpa was from Germany (he joined the US military and went back to kick Nazi ass lol) and he was the same way. Everyone in Jersey was like that at the time, no flowery talk. Straight to the point, the Spanish, Italians, Irish etc. Everyone was so much more blunt back then.
facts talk more than words: "i absolutely love it, give me more" you're just being polite "no i f'ing swear i want to eat more i don't care if it's not good for my helth or it's selfish, unless you tell me you won't give me more, i want more" *starts eating like an animal*
Years back I visited a friend in Germany with two other roommates. I offered to cook dinner because I wanted to please them. When they tasted it they said it was nice. I thought they didn't like it but were being polite. My friend commented that to receive such a comment by Germans was high praise. Because they're was nothing about the food to complain about.😂
I made Schnitzel a while ago and somehow managed to make it taste like in a good restaurant. Anywho, my dad told me I can make them more often. That's all he said. Later that day I got to listen to a phone call he had with my mom where he told her she never has to make Schnitzel again because she won't be able to do them as good as I did anyway. My dad's truly german. Always complimenting without complimenting
Kinda like my parents. My dad once made lasagne and my mother was convinced that she couldn’t do better. Ever since he has been the „designated lasagne cook“ 😂 (Lasagne-Beauftragter)
The area where I grew up in The Netherlands does the same. "How's the weather?" "Could be worse." We can ramp it up all the way to '"not bad". But that's a really exceptionally big compliment. Or "How are you?" "Can't complain."
I’m a sever and yesterday I had a table where the father was German. He practically licked the plate clean, when I asked him how everything tasted he said very monotone “it was fine.” I was so confused and was about to offer him something else. Now I realize he actually really enjoyed it
@@IrradiatedFeline That’s true! A lot of german people come every summer to my bar in the heart of the Pirinees of Catalonia in a village of 45 population, and when I ask them if they enjoyed the answer is always short but they order more, I really love them I’m lucky they are the 50% of my clients❤❤❤🎉
Hm, in this case it may have also been an error due to a too literal translation. fine = fein But if he meant to say the German "Es war fein", a more proper translation would have been "It was exquisite".
@@williamconwell6105 It's a reference to another skit. In Germany "bread" is what you buy at a bakery and "toast" is the sliced bread you buy at a supermarket. The german gets mad at the brit for thinking that toast is bread.

I'm from England, and generally our way of complimenting a good meal is "well that's alright, innit?". It sounds neutral, but it is probably the best compliment you can get from a Briton, relating to a meal.
These shorts bring back so many fond memories for me as an American Soldier stationed in Germany from 1989-1992. Best time of my life! Ich liebe Deutschland!!
Me too, as a British soldier, 1 Bn Scots Guards, 2003-2008 Oxford Kaserne, Munster, North Rhine-Westphalia. Loved the country, the people, the beautiful cities and towns and Krombacher beer. Up there as one of best times in my life. Danke, Deutschland!
This is the moment when they finally accept you as one of their own, and love you as their friend. They'll want you around at their barbecues, make sure to have that beer that you like in the fridge, and ask your opinion on stuff. Welcome to Germany ❤️
yeah thats our great "influence" (...) on northern france. i ever knew we were doing good all time along... (hey how could transforming something french in something more german dont be a good think to do!)

I ain’t even German and I’m proud. Had a similar experience with the wife. My family is Italian and Italian American, and her family is white from a bunch of different backgrounds. So her finally getting the language and the traditions was just like this. Felt very proud of her. ❤
Congrats ! I'm estonian who's becoming british, so reverse type of struggle- big smiles, small talk and getting smashed on hols are now second nature 😅
I studied theatre and I can tell you, Directors and professors give nothing but German love If you do well on a performance, you'll know by the lack of any comment. If they go through a list of critiques for your cast, and you're not even mentioned, It means "I love your work. Change nothing. Change will degrade your work."
I can attest to this. I used to work at a cake shop. My boss was from Austria and didn't hand out compliments hardly ever. One time, after cleaning the kitchen top to bottom, he walks in from his smoke break and says "hmm it looks nice in here." That was the only compliment I ever received, and he didn't even direct it at me! I worked there for over two years! Nice guy.
The thing with most Austrians is: the they are way more direct. Some German friends who visited Austria were shocked how rude Austrians can be so Austrians are rude and they like being it (of course you can’t put everybody in the same box but as someone who lives here for his entire life I can definitely tell that ‚cliché‘ aligns with 85% of the people
@@Bayard1503I am from Germany and what do you mean? WE never Had an Empire Like England or the Romans? Germans are rude because of our History. Because of the big "mistakes" which lead to WW2, all Generations suffer among the consequences. Just because Germany held together again and tried to carry on doesn't mean that the country wasn't bombed, most of the population was dead and the world understandably loathed us. the image was the only one that remained because the Germans always work hard. hence the prosperity. We had a lot of scientists stolen from the Americans and were kept small for security reasons. Nevertheless, Germany had an economic miracle and created great prosperity, which we Germans give away all over the world. Development aid for China, even though they have beaten us a long time ago, asylum for everyone, money for repairs and payment terms to this day, money to EU countries like Greece, Spain, etc. We take in millions of refugees every year even though we only have 80,000,000 citizens . ⅔ in Germany doesn't have a job or ⅓ of the population covers everyone's costs. a refugee, a migrant and an unemployed person all have their apartment, bus, electricity, water, child benefit and of course all facilities such as the doctor, school or psychologist paid for. There are also medications, you can escape to us and get your cancer treated free of charge, of course something else is successful, but in the USA many people suffer from serious illnesses. So since we have to give 50% of our wages/salary to the state and things like inheritance, pension or even the payment of the pension are taxed. The Germans work 40 hours a week, see how others receive the same on the couch and the justice system plays with building blocks. And since everyone has such a bad opinion of us, most people think they have to proactively counteract it and fight against guilt that is not theirs. the government decides on utopias that would be desirable if they were not impossible. This is reflected in the frustration of the population. On the one hand, this utopia naturally tempts people to stop working. On the other hand, it is not possible to operate a system with 90,000,000 that is only designed for 80,000,000. especially when many are not local and cannot maintain the system with their capabilities. But since the government acts as if everything is fine and the world is perfect, resentment increases. Every German will tell you that Germany is the worst country in the world. Most people are simply tired of working 70% for others, who may not have 30% for themselves, but in comparison 20-25%. In Germany you will be taxed and punished more the more you work and earn. So it's often not worth working. Over 80% of the rich have their money from their inheritance because you can no longer get rich by working

For those who don’t know, the response to “how does it taste?” in German is literally “It tastes.”
In Finnish, "does it taste" means "how is it" / "do you like it". The proper reply is "yes".

When asked how it tastes and you like it the response is "it's tasty" or "tasty" or "Better than a smack in the face with a maggotty cat"

I'm an American who's ancestors immigrated to the United States from Germany and the highest compliment you could give Grandma about her homemade, from scratch (honestly really good) German style Potato Salad was "It's edible" or "Can't complain."
She considered gushy compliments to be insincere.
As a German I confirm that you will be regarded as superficial easily, if you are too helpful or too nice. I am somehow sorry about this, but all the wars ( 30 year war and both world wars ) here successfully killed all the happy, helpful people.
but its true. go to a store with everyone kissing your butt, you will know it's fake. if people just act normal you feel more as if you can trust them. and tbh, most food you eat will not be mind blowing so acting as if it was IS actually fake and would make me question it every time because not every meal can be "crazy good", you know.
Same, my grandpa was from Germany (he joined the US military and went back to kick Nazi ass lol) and he was the same way. Everyone in Jersey was like that at the time, no flowery talk. Straight to the point, the Spanish, Italians, Irish etc. Everyone was so much more blunt back then.
facts talk more than words:
"i absolutely love it, give me more"
you're just being polite
"no i f'ing swear i want to eat more i don't care if it's not good for my helth or it's selfish, unless you tell me you won't give me more, i want more"
*starts eating like an animal*
Maybe its insincere cause its german cooking and over the top compliments would be obvious lies

Years back I visited a friend in Germany with two other roommates. I offered to cook dinner because I wanted to please them. When they tasted it they said it was nice.

I made Schnitzel a while ago and somehow managed to make it taste like in a good restaurant. Anywho, my dad told me I can make them more often. That's all he said. Later that day I got to listen to a phone call he had with my mom where he told her she never has to make Schnitzel again because she won't be able to do them as good as I did anyway. My dad's truly german. Always complimenting without complimenting
lol that's wholesome.. i bet you have a wonderful relationship with your father, and i kinda envy you but i wish you well 🙂👍🏻
Kinda like my parents. My dad once made lasagne and my mother was convinced that she couldn’t do better. Ever since he has been the „designated lasagne cook“ 😂 (Lasagne-Beauftragter)
All Germans can only make back handed compliments for some reason.
Wholeosome but the mom was hurted in the progress
That’s wholesome, but I kind of feel bad for the Mom but other than that this is hilarious
"Can't complain about that" highest German compliment
thats true
That's actually false.
Highest compliment in regards to food is silence. Because not complaining is sufficient as a compliment.
Because you can be damn sure they looked for anything to complain.
That's why I couldn't live in Germany! They'd drive me nuts with their nagging! 😡

"It's edible" I died laughing ... I am guessing that is a great compliment in Germany.
The best you can get from us😂😂
The area where I grew up in The Netherlands does the same. "How's the weather?" "Could be worse." We can ramp it up all the way to '"not bad".
But that's a really exceptionally big compliment.
Or "How are you?" "Can't complain."
@@weerwolfproductions ah yes more perfect examples 😂🇳🇱🤝🇩🇪

I’m a sever and yesterday I had a table where the father was German. He practically licked the plate clean, when I asked him how everything tasted he said very monotone “it was fine.”
I was so confused and was about to offer him something else. Now I realize he actually really enjoyed it
With us germans, it is more the actions than the words.
Not German, but once the server asked me how my meal was and when I said 'It was alright' they started apologising and offering me a discount.
germans are miserly with their praise and their compliments too, like with many other things in their life!
@@IrradiatedFeline That’s true! A lot of german people come every summer to my bar in the heart of the Pirinees of Catalonia in a village of 45 population, and when I ask them if they enjoyed the answer is always short but they order more, I really love them I’m lucky they are the 50% of my clients❤❤❤🎉
Hm, in this case it may have also been an error due to a too literal translation.
fine = fein
But if he meant to say the German "Es war fein", a more proper translation would have been "It was exquisite".

I'm from England, and generally our way of complimenting a good meal is "well that's alright, innit?". It sounds neutral, but it is probably the best compliment you can get from a Briton, relating to a meal.

I can attest to this. I used to work at a cake shop. My boss was from Austria and didn't hand out compliments hardly ever. One time, after cleaning the kitchen top to bottom, he walks in from his smoke break and says "hmm it looks nice in here." That was the only compliment I ever received, and he didn't even direct it at me! I worked there for over two years! Nice guy.
The thing with most Austrians is: the they are way more direct. Some German friends who visited Austria were shocked how rude Austrians can be so Austrians are rude and they like being it (of course you can’t put everybody in the same box but as someone who lives here for his entire life I can definitely tell that ‚cliché‘ aligns with 85% of the people

Nevertheless, Germany had an economic miracle and created great prosperity, which we Germans give away all over the world.

There are also medications, you can escape to us and get your cancer treated free of charge, of course something else is successful, but in the USA many people suffer from serious illnesses. So since we have to give 50% of our wages/salary to the state and things like inheritance, pension or even the payment of the pension are taxed. The Germans work 40 hours a week, see how others receive the same on the couch and the justice system plays with building blocks. And since everyone has such a bad opinion of us, most people think they have to proactively counteract it and fight against guilt that is not theirs. the government decides on utopias that would be desirable if they were not impossible. This is reflected in the frustration of the population. On the one hand, this utopia naturally tempts people to stop working. On the other hand, it is not possible to operate a system with 90,000,000 that is only designed for 80,000,000. especially when many are not local and cannot maintain the system with their capabilities. But since the government acts as if everything is fine and the world is perfect, resentment increases. Every German will tell you that Germany is the worst country in the world. Most people are simply tired of working 70% for others, who may not have 30% for themselves, but in comparison 20-25%. In Germany you will be taxed and punished more the more you work and earn. So it's often not worth working. Over 80% of the rich have their money from their inheritance because you can no longer get rich by working
