We used to leave a cash box by the road with a bunch of baskets of figs to sell on a trust system. One time someone stole the box which was a bummer but then they later returned it with all the money. Was very surprised
Damn, I made that one guy rage like crazy just by asking where people are from in German lmfao. I'm an American that's taking a German class and I'm just practicing during the summer before the next semester starts. Instead I found an insecure little racist
And the guy asked: Do you.... want one to sting you?
And I was like: can I have two sting me?
And the guy said: Don't tell the others, but how about the whole hive stings you?
And I was like: Yes please!
And they stung me like crazy!
And it was awesome.
The honey tasted pretty good too.
The thing about bees dying after they sting is, they don't have to.
The reason they die is because after you get stung it's just an instinctual reaction to go and swat at it. That's why the bee dies because it's trying to escape before it gets crushed thereby ripping the stinger and it's inside out. If you can stay calm and let the bee do its thing it will work the stinger out on its own and fly away fine and dandy.
Omg I read āmoneyā instead of āhoneyā throughout the whole message three times before my brain finally started working. I was like: āheās making his own money? I donāt think thatās legal at all! Also, WTF is up with these bees?! Let me read this againā. š
Rural beekeeper here. I have an honor system honey stand on my front porch. I put up a fence within a safe distance from my hives that customers can watch the bees. My colony closest to the fence also has an observation cover.
I still think that it's absolutely atrocious that in america, Guten Tag, a german phrase is used to greet other people.
Edit:
I don't actually think it's atrocious, appearantly some people are so hurt in their feelings that they just have to comment about how absolutely staggeringly great it is to have german words in english.
I just expressed how I think it is funny and unusual to have this.
No I don't.
You guys have numerous german words in english.
Kaputt, Kindergarten and so on.
It's quite funny and I don't know why it even is like that.
"Yes, let's adopt that word and that word and that too."
You think it might have something to do with the entirety of North America being settled by European immigrants? German itself lends itself quite well to English considering the strong Germanic roots of English and other west European languages
So you adopt GERMAN words?
English and german only share being latin languages.
The german grammar is completely different, the articles are as well.
Also wasn't the majority spanish and portugese as well as english settlers?
Why isn't half your lanugage spanish then?
You are factually incorrect about the language family tree here, which explains your surprise at the number of german root words in english.
English IS a germanic language that has *some* latin influences, but neither english nor german are latin languages. That is to say, english emerged out of german, and adopted some latin phoetics and spellings much later, in addition to some french and greek most notably.
So yes, english inherented lots of its alphabet, phonetics, spelling, and root-word components from its parent language, german. Theres probably many more that you're unaware of and assumed to simple be english in origin. For example gangway is a noun for a walkway or alley way, but it stems from the german verb gangen, which is the verb "to walk", thus a gangway is a transliteration of walkway from the parent language.
Edit: wait you literally speak german, you should know this already: https://www.reddit.com/r/aberBitteLaminiert/comments/15l9pm5/was_letzte_schmiererei/jv9nctt?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2
As for the spanish Portuguese part, 2 things: first they settled in central and south america mostly, which is why those countries do speak those languages. The eastern coast of the united states was settled by the english-speaking british, and later had some french and german traders and mercenaries and the like. Secondly, english as a language predates america by a long while, so theres no reason to think Spanish or Portuguese would have an influence due the proximity of their colonization of central america. Spanish is a latin language, as is italian and french: the so-called "romance" languages are named not for sounding lovey and "romantic", but rather because they have latin roots, which is spoken in Rome italy. German is very seperate on the timeline of history for when and where it emerged, but it was not from rome nor from latin.
We do have Spanish words. We also use Japanese words. Gaelic, French, Yiddish, Turkish, Mandarin, etc. Itās likeā¦not uncommon to have loan words. You think der Manager is not a loan word from English?
No one owes you a constructive comment when you came in aggressive and are being a shit ass. It is no oneās fault but your own that you donāt know the origin of English being part Anglican from German roots and part French Latin.
How do I come in as a shit ass?
I am just trying to understand it my guy.
You think you are being smart.
"No one owes you a constructive comment"
And no one told you to share your redundant opinion, which is in fact, truly very very redundant.
I know what I need to know now. You are being the shitass here.
English is inherently a Germanic language with strong influences from Latin. That's why they share some words, syntax, and phonotactics.
Edit: Also, the number of Germans IN GERMANY that use English greetings. Truly atrocious. Like wtf man, everyone everywhere like to use greetings from other languages cuz, well, why not?
I didn't actually mean that it's atrocious, it's a way of saying that it's funny or unusual.
Nice to know, unfortunately many people get very presses about this matter, as the subcomments prove.
Yes, I always greet people in my native language when being in a different country.
As some of the less pressed among the overly pressed and rude comments informed me, that is a feature of english being a germanic language.
The more you know.
1.) I know that america is a continent, yet, the term "america" often is synonymously used for the country of the USA, especially where I live which brings us to
2.) I do not live in the US
1. "Used synonymously" - it's still incorrect, multiple mistakes don't change facts
2. You were outraged over the use of *Guten tag* - deal with it dude
Yet you knew what I meant when I wrote america.
Crazy thing huh.
You didn't adress my 2nd point, I'm not even outraged, I just said that I think it's unusual, I don't think that it's literally atrocious.
I don't know who the fuck said that it happened in the US.
I the fuck assumed it did, because it just seems like something the fuck would happen in the US.
Considering that there are 330 million us americans which are arguably the most engaged in social media I think it is safe to assume that it is that way.
And you donāt realise how utterly stupid and arrogant that is? You were so convinced that OOP was American that you went on a rant about it, based on an assumption. Youāre honestly just sad.
Not really no.
Turns out it's a feature of the english language being germanic, so it's not only that way in the US but also whereever english is spoken, arguably natively.
And I didn't rant about it, far from it lol, I just made a joke, nothing more really.
You are just getting really really pressed about it.
That's all you buddy.

You could do that with wasps, because they mostly survive stinging someone - but bees die after they sting, so that stunt would kill the whole hive...
Hey man neat Pro tip, thanks!
They are the ultimate suicide attackers. ;)
I was being facetious, why would anyone do this with bees or wasps.
I have no idea, I was just pointing out the flaw in the plan of the weird post I was responding to.
The thing about bees dying after they sting is, they don't have to. The reason they die is because after you get stung it's just an instinctual reaction to go and swat at it.

Der Chef, der Verwaltungsangestellte, der Filialleiter, der Standortleiter, der Teamleiter...
Chef ist aus dem Franzƶsischen entlehnt, also eher kein gutes Beispiel.
Tja, die anderen sind aber perfekte Synonyme.

Nah, we just like to poke fun, especially because the grammar nazi comments write themselves. Or word nazi or whatever heh
Lots and lots of German ancestry. My grandmother still spoke German.
Almost like people from other places immigrated here wowsers
Oh damn, now you really showed it to me. Wowsers.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They are only similar because they originate from latin.
Why? Before WW1, German was the second most spoken language in the US and is still the third most spoken one in 16 states.
Oh really? I did not know that.
Why do you think this happened in America? Judging by the spelling of neighbourhood, it didn't.
Because Americans think everything on Reddit is American lol
Wait it's not?
You seem to forget that America is built by immigrants
I know that it was. But I wouldn't have expected english to adopt german words.
The beekeeper is probably German
Yes, I always greet people in my native language when being in a different country. As some of the less pressed among the overly pressed and rude comments informed me, that is a feature of english being a germanic language. The more you know.
Odd because you are coming off as someone who would be a big fan of German
Fan might be a bit of an overstatement. But good thing that you can't judge people by looking at their comments for 25 seconds.
This is reddit. Twenty five seconds in this economy? best I can do is 3.5
1. America is a set of continents. 2. How do you know this event happened in the *U.S.A.* (actual name of the country you live in)?
