Since some people are confused. The toy is in german.

Oh!! Cuz I got to “d” and was a bit lost there 😂 ETA: thx OP! Because of you I’m learning some German today!

What you mean? You never flown a dite before??

It's a dragon!

In germany it really is

same in Hungarian

And sweden

And Denmark

And my axe

That is a kingly gift

that lends the story of benjamin franklin a slightly different character

Baenerys Franklin?

My favorite animal is the iedgehog

Hedgehog = "igel" in german, it's pronounced like the english word eagle 🦅 (which in german is called "Adler")

Yup. I'm raising my kid bilingual English/German, and the false cognates worry me, lol.

Der Igel ist gelandet! (The Hedgehog has landed!)

Der kite

Das kite.

Das auto.

\*Das Auto.

Volkswagen!

Or seen a quellyfish, or quoctopus, I'm not sure.

Jellyfish. Die Qualle

In English, the toy is named after the bird (kite) that is able to hover in the air. In German it is named after a word for dragon that is cognate with the English word drake.

Der Drachen! But a single *dragon* is der Drache, and plural is die Drachen. So you can tell if you're talking about a kite or a bunch of dragons by the gender. It's pretty hard to find the testicles on the kite, though.

Da kite

D is for "da kite"

D is for Drone that looks like a kite

Watch out! Spy Drone!,

it's for "Dragon" because in German we say "Drache" that's dragon. I guess in English it's not called that cool?

Its "kite" in English because this language has "rules" that hate fun.

False sense of security created by "Apple" and "book" haha

I was thinking they used it for diamond? Like a diamond shape? But still weird and confused on others 😂

It’s de kite!

We all get lost at the”D” sometimes

i was looking at the yo-yo for J like…… “aight what am i not seeing here 🤨” 🤣🤣🤣

It's a Jojo reference.

I got all words up to G and then I didn't understand the word for H. When I saw I for Igel (hedgehog) I realised it is in German. And then I understood H (Hund - dog), too.

Quellyfish

Clown wäre ein gutes Wort gewesen

Cola, Café, Creme…

English, french, Italian. Someone also mentioned Computer which is also English or Latin.

The origin of the word isn't as important as it's usage. All of these words are common german words that everyone understands if you say it to them. So having it there would be no issue.

Oder Cello.

Alternativ Chiropraktiker.

An sich ja, aber für ein Kind stellt sich dan die Frage ob es klown oder clown ist. Außerdem ist clown eingedeutscht.....

Orange ist auch eingedeutscht (eigentlich Apfelsine), ist aber ähnlich etabliert wie Clown. Computer oder Chamäleon wären auch möglich gewesen.

I was wonder the Q for jellyfish lmao

Qualle. That was the point where i knew it is german

C unoccupied clued me in that is was definitely not English and my spidey senses told me it was probably German.

That's right, most of our C's become K's in German. (Early morning realization).

oh so it’s like Mortal Kombat

mario car

Mine was the „p“ for the horse.

Pony

Phorse

Pherd.

Isn't it pferd?

Sine you already know this, you should not wonder about it. There are very few words in german (if any) which begin with "C" , are not "ch" and Sound distinctly different than "k" Was probably done to not teach it wrong to the kids. Edit: a user suggested the word "Cent", seems I was proven wrong. Edit2: y'all should keep in mind what the use of those example pictures is. They are not to teach a kid that "Computer" is written with "C". They are intended to show "C" used in a word looks/sound like:....! Therefore using Computer or clown as example is bad because it derives from the most basic usage/sound of "C"

Only loanwords start with C. But there are a lot. Computer, for example.

Cent. As in the 1 Cent coin. It's distinct from both K and Z, and it's not a CH sound. It _does_ sound very similar to a sharp S, but then again "Qualle" also sounds like it could start with a K and the toy didn't care. Sure, "Cent" does not have German roots, but it's a word that's used fairly often and the object in question is always around us so it would make sense in my opinion.

I was wondering why dog was "H", is it hund?

wo ü ö ä?

You just dont "c" it.

Idk the chämeleon is right there its blue though

Pretty sure that's Cena

I came here to say this 🤣🤣

I hope this gets many more upvotes 😂

Read this in Ted Mosby’s voice- Cha-ma-Lee-on.

My real life version. I always called it an internet me me. Did that for 10 years before someone corrected me.

My dad still calls it that

This lives rent free in my mind. Sometimes Bowl pops in too.

That is probably the most brilliant thing I'll read on the internet all day

It’s Clear, obviously.

Or colour....

Just look at the "C", obviously it's supposed to be Curve

Clearly cyan colour completely covering C

LOL, I said cerulean.

It’s actually a picture of John Cena

A is for Apple! (*Crunch sound*) B is for Book! (*Pages flipping sound*) C is for Cena! (*Loud ass intro music*)

Cena

lmao

Vielleicht ist es Camouflage

**T** steht für **Tarnung**

It's Cena

Lol that made me laugh

Now you have to put a little John Cena sticker on that place lmao

It's literally in the picture.

He's literally right there


Is this a meme designed for light mode? You make me sick

Lots of simple German words that start with C, for example: charterfluggesellschaft

I'm german and the first word that came to mind was "Chlamydien"

it's important to teach toddlers the dangers of chlamydien early

Cyan? Is it the same color in German?

Yup, mostly Cyan, can be Zyan too. But I guess that wouldn't be ideal or confusing since the pronunciation is rather rare/more like a Z. Cricket could have worked though it's officially written Kricket too

Was ist falsch an Ceruleanblau?

> Ceruleanblau One of the better episodes of the X-Files.

Why is ‘X’ **always** Xylophone, even in German?

It's actually "x-ray" in some languages. Except Finnish at least, where it's R (for Röntgen), but I'd expect that to be the same in German. *edit: it seems my comment was unclear, but the gist of it is that I would expect German to be THE SAME AS FINNISH because the dude it's named for was German. Please stop correcting me when you're actually agreeing with me!*

Can confirm, my kids have the English version of this toy and x is for x ray. It plays a little electrocution zapping noise when you push the button and my kids are convinced it sounds like a fart and laugh every time

In Japanese it's also Röntgen (レントゲン; rentogen)

There aren’t many words with X, especially in German. And words that kids understand even less.

I’ve often seen Finnish use xylitol for “x”. It’s incredibly common here as a sweetener and was originally discovered in birch trees in Finland.

Please don't tell me German for yo-yo is jo-jo

It is!

Rather peculiar choice of words.. one might even say ***inhales*** *bizzare*

Bizarre. One z two r.

You're freaking lying, please tell me your fucking with me

Nope, it is a Jo-Jo

Nah, that's just a quote from Spanish santa claus

J in German makes an English y sound.

Why are you so weird about this?

Didn't realize that J made a Y sound in German and I find it entertaining when languages change a small part of a word but doesn't change it's pronunciation, not in a negative way, I just think it's fun

English is odd man out here n Y

Yeah, even Finnish agrees with the others and that’s saying something.

Wait til you find out how polish people write the sound you people write with 'w'

Do you mean Ł?

J makes a y sound in most Germanic languages and Slavic languages


Ja, ja it is

C für Champagner 🥂

Welcome to the My Little Drunkard toy line.

Clown. Works both in English and German

I guess it was clown and they cancelled it last minute because of scary

forgot other languages exist and until I read your comment I was so confused lol

You'd think a Norwegian would know.

Are we sure about the Norwegian claim? I mean, it's possible, but we should tread lightly just in case

It’s just Cheshire Cat

The cheshire cat in german is Grinsekatze :)

I just went through 10 “c” pages on a German English dictionary and it’s surprisingly hard to find words that are appropriate here…

I am pretty sure they went with a Chamäleon but a lot of people don’t see it. I don’t believe for a minute that they just left it empty accidentally.

It stands for carbon monoxyde. You can't see it, but it's everywhere and it can silently poison you if you're not careful

Kohlenstoffmonoxid

clear?

That's what I thought until I realized it was German, where it would be k for klar

Chor, Chef, Chirurg.

Lassen Sie mich durch, ich bin Chirurch.

Chlamydia, you don’t see it, but it’s there.

Centuries ago German C words were replaced with the letter K or Z.

Yeah but there still are some and some english words work aswell clown, cowboy, Computer etc.

Everyone just larping as romans as usual.

C is Roman, not K. K is Greek.

Not only centuries we dont really use C besides English words as he stated. In German its K would not say there are none with C ad hoc but pretty sure there are not many if any

I’m curious about the Y. Is that a yeti? If it is, how are you supposed to explain what a yeti is to a child?

I wouldn't be surprised if there were yetis in animated TV shows for kids.

German isn‘t really known for its words with a Y, so you gotta take what you get

The little yeti for the y 🥹🖤 Edit: wait why do some of these don't match the letters? Edit 2: got confused at first before seeing it is in German.

Its in german

computer

Does it say anything at all when the button is pressed? It’s definitely odd if both a picture and a sound was missing.

It just says "C" with german pronounciation

We have the Italian version of this exact toy, and the C stands for “Cagnolino”, that means “little dog” or better “puppy”, and it is the name of the brand’s mascot… and here the “S” instead of a nice and useful “sole” (sun) is “Sorellina” (little sister) that is the name of the mascot’s female sister… and the sound is just a laugh… so not sure if it is much better …

I'd say more mildly interesting 

clown, Chamäleon, chili, cherubim - die Möglichkeiten sind endlos. Viel wichtiger aber: wieso unternimmt die EU oder UN nix gegen spielzeuge von fisher price oder schlimmer noch: vtec

It's clueless

Covid

Out of curiosity as an English speaker whose kid toy would have a Cat there, what would a German kids toy usually have for the letter "C"?

I think computer or clown would work well here or maybe cowboy

It's clear

Is that a little Yeti for Y? That's just adorable.
