easiest rule to speak german words in english pronounce letters you can see the "e" in the end in german is just normaly pronounced, i dont know why english came up with the idea to have the E in the end silent always but thats not the case in german xD
@cmlemmus4946 ай бұрын
Put simply, the silent e in English would have been pronounced historically, but that sound faded out around the late Middle English/ Early Modern English period. That's also when the Great Vowel Shift started (most English vowel sounds changed over the course of 300 years). This is also when French (Norman) stopped being the official court language and English, which was previously the peasant language, became standard at all levels of society.

The Haribo one is "Goldbären" and yes, it means Gold Bears or Golden Bears, although we usually refer to them as "Gummibären" or "Gummibärchen" (Gummy Bears or Little Gummy Bears... The "-chen" at the end of a word shows the smaller or cuter version of something. Like the "-chan" in Japanese. 😂)
@tubekulose6 ай бұрын
19:17 Of course the "L" pronunciation is there. 24:20 "Goldbären" means "golden bears" (plural). "Gold bear" (singular) would be "Goldbär". But please note that while the German "a" is pronounced like the English "a" in "car", the "ä" (with the two dots) is pronounced like the English "a" in "care"! So the German word "Bär" sounds almost exactly the same as the English "bear" (except for the "r" being different in the American accent). 🙂

The Deer with the cross is a symbol of the catholic hunters Patron saint - Hubertus von Lüttich. Legend holds that on a Good Friday morning, while the faithful were in church, Hubert was hunting in the forest. As he pursued a magnificent stag or hart, the animal turned and Hubert was astounded to see a crucifix floating between its antlers. He heard a voice saying: "Hubert unless thou turnest to the Lord and leadest a holy life, thou shalt quickly go down into Hell." Hubert dismounted and prostrated himself, and after asking "Lord, what wouldst Thou have me do?" is told, "Go and seek Lambert [Saint Lambert of Maastricht], and he will instruct you."

He was commander of the United States Central Command from 1988 to 1991 and commander of coalition forces in the Second Gulf War. And yes, he definitely has German ancestors. 😉 The Scharzkopf brand goes back to the chemist and pharmacist Hans Schwarzkopf, who opened the “paint, drug and perfumery store” on Passauer Strasse in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1898. Schwarzkopf (English black head) is a very common name in Germany and Austria. In addition to many people, a total of 9 mountains in both countries also bear this name.

W in German is always pronounced like V in English, the English W-Pronounciation does not exist in German language: "wo?" (where?), "was?" (what?), "wer?" (who?), "Wolf" (wulf), "Wasser" (water) F ist always pronounced like the F in English , so unvoiced: "Fisch" (fish), "faul" (lazy), "Fluss" (river) V can be tricky for foreigners: Unsually it is pronounced the same like F, like in "Vogel" (bird), "von" (of, from), "Vater" (father), "viel" (much), "viele" (many), "vor" (before, in front of) and the prefixes "vor-" ("Vorsilbe" = prefix) and "ver-" ("verstecken" = to hide). But there are also words, mostly foreign words, where V is pronounced like the English V, like in "Vase" (vase), "Veranda" (veranda), "Version" (version).

The reason must be etymological. Though it is peculiar that they both co-exist like that. Usually when sounds shift and merge, another sound/letter has to move as well or disappear. Dutch for examples doesn't really have the letter 'f' apart from some foreign loanwords and uses 'v' in cognate words where German uses 'f' (vrijheid, voetbal, vriend vs Freiheit, Fußball, Freund) but also has 'v' where German uses 'v' (verachten, vader, van vs verachten, Vater, von). And the pronunciation ranges from /f/ to /v/ and anything in between as far as I know.

Benz is pretty accurate, many people shorten the brand to just Benz. The Daimler-Benz AG which builds all the Mercedes cars is a merger between the companies of Carl Benz (inventor of the motor car, 1886) from Mannheim, Germany and Gottlieb Daimler (creator of the motor carriage) from Stuttgart, Germany. Both already had big factories in their cities when the merger happened in 1926. To this day people in Mannheim work at Benz, and those in Stuttgart at Daimler. f = f, w = v, v = f/v, depending on the stressed syllable of the word in Old Germanic (some 20 centuries ago). There is no rule to distinguish between the both in modern German, so you just have to learn the pronunciation. You still have different pronunciations depending on the stress in one word pair: Hannover (capital of Lower Saxony) is pronounced "hu-NO-fuh" and Hannoveraner (person from Hannover or a horse breed named after the city) is pronounced "huh-no-ve-RUH-nuh"

Volkswagen is not part of Porsche, but it has its origins there. The "Volkswagen", which means "people's car", was a project of Porsche founder Ferdinand Porsche at Hitler's request in 1937, before the war. But that was just one model, namely the one we know today as the “Beetle”. It was only after the war, in 1949, that a new vehicle manufacturer was founded and the name of this vehicle was used as a brand name - Volkswagen. The original "Volkswagen" now became the "Beetle".

fun fact: volkswagen holds 49,9% of porsche shares, bought after porsche tried to take over VW, which fell through because of funding problems.. so it's kinda the other way around.
