"Ajo" They are basically talking to themselves at this point but you don't want to be rude? "Ajo" is a great answer to act like you listened. It's also a great answer to "Na", which I've otherwise always been puzzled about as to how to answer it.

I really love the different pronunciations of the letter m. Hm? Is some sort of a verbal question mark. It is often combined with gestures. For example when you ask a question that is obvious, like : "do you want a new round of whiskey" while holding up the bottle. Another usage is when you where lost in thoughts and somebody tells you something and you want him/her to repeat the sentence. Hmhm with the voice going up means yes, and with the voice going down means no.

“Mach's Jut” In Berlin “dialect”. A clash of ja and gut )

[@havodbezaytun6281]

"..., ne?" or: "...,gell?" is a short form for "nicht wahr?" Meaning: "Isn't it right?" Another short sound is "e e" (german spelled) for "no". What about the short word "pfui!" if something is disgusting?! And what about "hm..." if a person thinks about a said sentence of somebody else?

[@BezalyFan1]

Btw you can also say "Iiiiiih!" when something is disgusting😂 It's pronounced like a long, bright "ee". It's similar as "Ewww!" in English😁 So "Pfui" is like "Yuck! I don't wanna have to do anything with it" and often accompanied by a gesture like throwing the thing away. And "Iiiih" emphasizes more on the feeling of disgust actually, like "ewww"

[@petereggers7603]

"..., wa?" This is also typical for the rhenish dialect around Aachen (in the far west of Germany). A similar "filling word" is "..., woll"?, used in westpahlia (around Dortmund and down south in the Sauerland region).

My grandma from Soest used to say "wonnich"

Excellent Video... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻it is depended on the area where you are living... Born and grown up in the Ruhrgebiet (area of the largested Population per m2 in germany) there are many Idioms from different Languages, came together ( in Times of immigration; poland, russia, italy, Turky...) Mottek (Hammer), Kaline(Young Women), Rabotti (work)... „woll“, „boah“, „boah ey“....and they are normally „Daily“ speaking... and at least the ending „cken“ for making something „smaller“ or „cute“... e.g. ... Pilsken ( Glass of Beer), mädcken( Little Girl), Büttercken (Bread), Hämmercken ( small Hammer)...

Auf den Punkt!

This was so nice! I never thought about those. There's so many of those sounds actually. Some of the sounds are different in Bavaria though. We don't say "gell", it's "ghæ" or "ghæi". Also we don't use "nö". Instead it's "nah" or a short "ghæ" or "ah gæh" or "gæ wàida". We also use "mài" very, very much for very different meanings. It can express disappointment or joy. It also can mean that you don't care at all. "Mài o mài" means either you find something stupid or you find it really sad or worrying. "Hmhm" and "mhm" mean yes. "M m" means no. "Hä?" in Bavaria is "ha?" If something inconvenient happens and it's your fault and you feel embarrassed about it, in Bavaria we say "äha" or "jeggal". To express your sympathy for a person in that situation we say "hoppala". To express anxiety we say "Uiuiui" and if we're suprised positively we say "ui". To express compassion with the pain of another person we say "ou". "Pff" means you think what the other one said is not worth consideration or ridiculous. A short "so" usually is the introduction to starting to do something. A longer "so" marks the end of a task. "Ah so" means "I didn't know that". A short "ah" means "I don't believe you".

The "Ähaaa" is also the most eloquent way a bavarian aboriginee expresses his sincere regrets when he bumped accidentally into someone. Everywhere else in germany apart from the northern coast the proper saying is: Entschuldigen Sie bitte vielmals meine Ungeschicklichkeit, Sie haben sich hoffentlich nicht wehgetan? But our "Ähaaa" means exactly the same

Naja man kann nicht einfach allgemein sagen dass man das in Bayern so sagt. Zum Beispiel hier in Franken wird keins dieser Geräusche gemacht die man anscheinend im Rest von Bayern macht. Naja wir sind ja eh eher „preußisch geprägt“ als der Rest Bayerns

@@mondsgesandter Seit uns Napoleon mit den Gebieten rund um den Main belastet hat, müssen wir Altbayern uns mit Franken rumschlagen. Auch der Versuch von Karl Auer vom BR, die ca 4 mio Franken der Deutschen Bank in FRANKfurt anzudrehen ist gescheitert, da man ihm keinen Kurs für Ober- Mittel- oder Unterfranken in Relation zum Euro nennen konnte. Aber was will man von Leuten verlangen, die eigenmächtig das Alphabet um 2 Buchstaben erleichtert haben. (Der Franke an sich kennt weder den Buchstaben "t" noch den Buchstaben "p", die werden dort mehr schlecht als recht durch "d" und "b" ersetzt)

@@mondsgesandter Franken und Bayern sind sprachlich ja auch zwei unterschiedliche paar Schuhe. Schwaben würde ich da auch nicht rein nehmen, die sprechen alemannische Dialekte, keine bairischen.
