It depends on where you are in Germany. People that live in Bavaria would probably pronounce '20' different than people that live in the northern part. Some people also pronounce it more like 'tsvan-tsik'.

I've always heard it said "Tsvan-Sihh".
Like, ... not a ch but not ...Not there, either.

Ah, yes; so it's the dialect. That's what I thought. Thank you! 3nodding

Erm... if someone has a moment, could they possibly help me a bit with this? Bitte?

For my German homework, I have a few questions that ask you to fill in the corrent endings to the indefinite article and the adjective. Here's an example, though I'm pretty sure most understand what I'm talking about:

z.B.:
Ich will mir ein_ neu_ Auto kaufen.

I've put eines and neues, but I was wondering the endings are the same or if they differ...?

In this case it would be: Ich will mir ein neues Auto kaufen.

Ah, okay. So they're not the same, then? Danke! :3

The Bavarians just...don't...speak German. <.<;;; It's a well-known fact! XDDD
Yeah, ignore me, there's this Austrian girl in my German class and we all make fun of her for saing "Bursche" and "Bub" instead of "Junge." XD *socruel*

That's a more widespread dialect, caused by, um, you know, laziness. Happens with lots o' words, but usually when you're taught them in a classroom setting they'll teach you -ig or -ich, or -isch for simplicity's sake.

We need to come up with a list of words that are just, fun to say.


I read a news article that said the German people had voted that "Rhabarbenmarmelade" was the funnest word to say.
Go on, try it.
Rhabarbenmarmelade.
It just rolles off the tongue.
Rhabarbenmarmelaaaaade.
Well, rolls about as much as a German word can roll.
Rhaaaabaaaarbenmarmelaaade.
...Like a cardboard box in the wind.

What does this mean? smile

Es war sehr gut, mein Herr
Und vorbei.
Du kennst mich wohl, mein Herr,
Ach, lebe wohl, mein Herr.
Du sollst mich nicht mehr sehen.

(I only get the "mein herr" part... sweatdrop )

Danke, heart Have a nice day.

Fatal Hilarity

It was very good, my lord.
And over.
You indeed do know me, my lord.
Alas, farewell, my lord.
You shall not see me anymore.
