pl Bernd 2025-11-30 12:01:01 No. 26638
Which words of ur language should be introduced as an English loanword? I'll start with an easy KC tier example: bydło
>bydło for those who don't know: Poles pronounce l as w there
Schadenfreude and Kindergarten. Well they use these already. Über also. They should use Backpfeifengesicht or Freibiergesicht. First one is a smackable face and second is a face that only shows up when there is free beer.
>>26642 >Well they use these already.
>Daseinsberechtigung A (proper, solid) reason to exist, a justification for existence.
>>26642 >Schadenfreude and Kindergarten wetlschmerz and zeitgeist are also known
I really like Wanderlust (hiking passion) and Fernweh (far pain). Both describe a yearning for far away lands and new horizons.
They should use archaic words closer to norse Why = wherefore
>>26668 Do you prefer bokmal or nynorsk
>>26671 I had a nynorsk phase where I used it a lot but I don't live a place where it's relevant

>>26656 >Wanderlust Extremely cringe. Should not be used by anyone.
The Germans itt are really low IQ, they only name words that are already used in English
We don't need any of your words... We have all that we need.
>>26642 >Freibiergesicht I like this but too many syllables. doesn't have the ease of something like 'redneck'
>>26680 english has nothing but loanwords in it so OP isn't siggesting anything new
>>26687 Well we have all the ones we need now.
"doch" if you state something, someone disagrees, you just say "doch" it's a very useful word which has no counterpart in english
>>26692 >if you state something, someone disagrees, you just say "doch so you say it to somebody who disagrees with you? or that person who disagrees says it?
>>26709 Example: >There is an X that is Y <No there isnt! >DOCH
>>26717 okay, so what does it mean? the disagreeing guy to go fuck himself? or 'agree to disagree'? or something else?
>>26717 the english phrase would be "Word!"
>>26722 It means 'Yes, it is'
A - "It's raining." B - "No it's not" A - "Word!"
>>26684 <Freibiergesicht >I like this but too many syllables How about the rural dialect version: <Freibiergsicht Or <Freibierxicht Dropping the 'e' in "Gesicht" is quite common.
>>26727 Doesn't 'word!' means something like 'This' ?
>>26692 >doch It also solves the ambiguity of answering yes or no to a negated question. > Did you not eat the cookie? < yes (I did not) > Did you not eat the cookie? < no (I did not) > Did you not eat the cookie? < DOCH (I did and it was tasty)
>>26732 > Or <Freibierxicht This seems acceptable. I will notify the language council.
>>26709 I think it's the German "отнюдь".
>>26741 <Freibierxicht Spread the word
>>26640 Is it really w as in Willy? I always thought it's a mix of l and u, hard to describe.
>>26692 French have "Si" which has the same function.
>>27334 I once got it explained to me by a pole and went "so it's the w in owo" "... I guess"
indo-yuros really need real words for northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest. how come none of those sea faring nations never figured this out?
>>27358 But we have words: Nordost, Nordwest, Südost, Südwest
>>26645 What is that picture supposed to convey?

>>27413 It's a good word in its original meaning, but already being used as a trendy loanword by English speakers, particularly by zoomer sluts who don't know that the word Lust in German has a slightly different meaning that the English one.
>>27423 First time I ever heard about this. BUt why do you care about what subhuman third worlders are doing in the first place? Are you one yourself?
>>27423 It is crazy how teeny-tiny zoomer sluts destroy your enjoyment of the word Wanderlust. Just dont care. Stupid people do something? Oh no, anyway.
Half of their language is already borrowed from mine.
>kalsarikännit >wööwöbääbä
>>26727 "word" means "das rite", "preach it brutha" etc
>>27471 shut the fuck up retard
>>27423 i don't think theose womyn are trying to inply anything segzual with those tattoos, but rather that they are into traveling the world and new experiences and other things of that tier, which i think is in line with the actual meaning of the word wanderlust
>>27470 Which language is yours? German, French or Italian?
>>27570 Must be French. Only 1/4 of the words in English are from Germanic origin, and a lot of these come from the vikings rather than the Anglo-Saxons. I only know a single Swiss German word in English: putsch.
>>27423 this seems like a made up problem. Still doesn't explain what the Bernd I originally replied to was implying, anywwy. Also I don't believe they're conflating it with sexual lust. Doesn't even make sense in that context.
>>27425 >>27562 >>27465 Mab I love new old krautchan. Bernds here a so much more level headed than "over there". Not trying to be sarcastic or anything. Just so refreshing to see reasonable posts on the KC context. It has been so long.
>>27385 i mean real words not compounds
>>27616 Bump serious discussion.
Has to be "¿Queeeeeee?" for "Whaaaaat?". Only valid if delivered with a facial expression that borders retardation.
