How To Tell Germans To GET LOST!

[@SandyMayasDance]

You've got an amazing way to explain the German language. Your videos are not just educational but also very entertaining. Great work!

[@hashtagdag]

Good Mythical Morning!!! I love the t-shirt!

[@choedzin]

Once a German friend of mine turned to me and very gravely intoned: "He made himself, me nothing, you nothing, out of the dust" :-)

[@filipeamaral216]

The last time Germans got lost they almost reached Moscow.

[@johnweigel9761]

I'm surprised you didn't use your evil twin for this episode instead of poor Eric, except at the end. Telling "her" to get lost would have been very satisfying. ;)

[@Segalmed]

There is of course also the classic "Scher dich zum Teufel". In other languages his domain seems to be the preferred destination, not he personally ('Go to hell', 'Farðu til helvítis!'), which of course exists in German too ('Fahr zur Hölle' often abridged to simply 'zur Hölle (mit dir)'). Less an exhortation to initiate offwards movements and more of a wish this to be taken care of by others is the related 'daß dich der Teufel hole' (oh that the devil would take thee away). Quite obsolete by now 'Heb dich hinweg' (literally 'lift yourself off' but with the general vibe of 'get thee behind me').

[@chrisrudolf9839]

While all of those expressions are correct, they are oldfashioned and would sound pathetic if uttered on any other occasion than in a stage play or LARP.

[@Segalmed]

@@chrisrudolf9839 In my experience they are still used even by youngsters, although not always in a serious way and more often in the abridged form than not (or with an added 'doch'). It seems to me that some old-fashioned phrases have become fashionable again precisely because they sound odd today.

[@candicehatfield6530]

@@Segalmed I would like to see a video , Trixi reads all of the comments (good or bad ) that people posted on her videos . ➡ 🇺🇸🌏🌎🌍

[@thereturningshadow]

At 3:07 I was half expecting Trixi to take her pillow out and smother Eric while telling him to go away. lol

[@aoife9932]

I had a chance to use these once. Teenagers were shouting at 3am on the street below my flat. I ignored it for about 15 minutes and then got out of bed, marched to the window, preparing all my angry German curse words (I work in kindergarten so I don't exactly get to use them much haha). I had just started with "haut ab!" and they all apologised and ran away so fast. I was almost disappointed

[@robertzander9723]

Guten Morgen Trixi. Deine Videos sind immer ein guter Start in den Tag. Allerdings kann man manchmal nicht aufhören zu lachen und wird in den Öffis argwöhnisch beäugt. Danke dafür und nun verlasse ich dich für heute.🤭😁

[@eriknelson4580]

Great video! Can you do one on how to politely (and emphatically, if needed) ask people to observe the Abstand (social distancing)?

[@HalfEye79]

Another way to tell people to get lost is "Zur Hölle (mit dir)." - "To hell (with you)." Or "Geh hin, wo der Pfeffer wächst." - "Go , where the pepper grows."

[@brianhuggins9505]

The expression of get off my land was used extensively by German farmers when we drove our Tanks over their land. Hated doing it

[@a20000399]

Hey Eric is back on videos! Yey

[@JerryEricsson]

Say what you wish, but I shall never forget my grandfather, who came over from Germany prior to WW1, he turned to my uncle John (they were living on the "home" place) and told him to "throw the cows over the fence some hay!" I loved my grand father dearly but lost him to a heart attack when I was 7 years old, funny how the mind locks in on such small things, I can recall his smell, the pipe he had, made of painted ceramic and the way he would give us rides on his foot while saying "bumpty lumpty" he has been gone now for over 60 years, but I still miss him.

It's always more difficult when: you can pick up on a few expressions, but there's too many different ways to say it, so you don't know if YOU are being told to piss off!

[@tasminoben686]

[@silkwesir1444]

I think "Land gewinnen" is, in this case, closer to "get/gain some distance" rather than "acquiring land"

[@wilsonli5642]

Good, I think most people would get nervous telling a German to acquire more land!

[@garyd1125]

**** off The universal expression. Love your vids, like always have wonderful day. We seem to have less trouble in life thinking things then actually talking out loud. Except for my wife who nows what's on my mind.

[@Markle2k]

"Screw off"? It's not really a phrase in common English, but it gets the point across. F-off or more benignly, "buzz off" is more usual.

[@garymcgregor5951]

Markle2k it could be age/location, as well as situationally dependent. I have used it, and heard it, all of my life. A weaker (or more polite?) form of f-off.

[@Markle2k]

@@garymcgregor5951 No.. it's not goodly Engelsk. It makes you sound like your no good speaker.Ja?

[@lee_g3563]

Never heard of 'screw off ' in my life. In the UK we'd say 'go screw yourself'!

[@chrisrudolf9839]

I have heard the phrase used by all those guys who make compilations of reddit posts and "censor" the swear words while reading as a replacement for f... off. Similar as "fricking" for f...ing. But yeah, other than in a situation where you want to censor yourself in a mocking way, I don't think people would actually say "screw off".

[@ShyBoy6ty9]

Yeah, I'm with Gary on this one. I've heard it all my life.

[@Guitarman092004]

[@hannahh8119]

So "to get lost" means "to go away"? How do you say, like, "verloren gehen"? I thought it would be possible to say "I got lost" when I didn't find my way anymore..

[@gregourmet]

Don't forget: Ich mach den Schuh oder 'den Schuh machen' for: to leave a party or an event without saying goodbye to anyone.

[@robertwangenstein8569]

Thanks. I studied German and French briefly manny years ago. The articles added a level of complexity but I wondered what it feels like to have objects further categorized by gender. Does it make German speakers who learn English feel something is lost in the language? Thanks for the example. I thought there must be some humor in this idea.

[@ckuper9300]

What if I want to go away?

[@Blueblue__]

Wunderbar! ^^

[@stoneysauce]

That's my favorite German word; it sounds like some kind of candy bar.

[@mortimerfowler4054]

You make yourself happy.

[@spags63]

My ears perked up at "Boah, diese Party ist so lahm!" Without checking your translation I understood that "this party is so lame!" Curious if like here in American English you could use "gelähmt" to describe something as "dull" or "boring" even when its literal meaning is slow or being unable to walk well.

[@ChildOfLight13]

No, we don't say that in Germany.

[@chrisrudolf9839]

yes and no. We do use the word "lahm", which can mean slow, dull or weak and which originally also meant paralyzed (the word is oldfashioned and derogative and thus should not and usually is not used for someone who is actually paralyzed anymore). Contrary to that "gelähmt" only means paralyzed (both literally and figuratively like in paralyzed by fear).

Guten Morgen trixi schön dich zu sehen

Guten Morgen Johannes!

[@krillin876]

@@DontTrustTheRabbit Did you give up on learning Spanish?

[@robertwangenstein8569]

You have der, die, das in German In English we have only the neutral “the”. Does that affect the way you think of objects? since French has le and la, are objects similarity gendered? Does German comedy use der,die,das for comic effect? That is an area we English speakers do not understand.

[@HalfEye79]

Rarely. Mostly to express the confusion of german-learning englishspeaker: "Nie werde ich die deutsche Sprache lernen. Heute habe ich jemanden gehört, wie er alle drei Artikel vor einem einzigen Wort benutzt hat. Er hat gesagt: 'Dass di der Deibel hol.'" - That plays with a german dialect. "I will never learn the german language. Today I heard somebody using all three articles in front of one word. He has said: 'Dass di der Deibel hol.'" - "Dass di der Deibel hol." is an dialectic expression to curse somebody. The three words "Dass di der ..." sound equally than "das die der". "di" is a short form of "dich". "Der Deibel" is "der Teufel" ("the devil").

American door knobs are mounted about butt-high, thus the expression "don't let the doorknob hit you in the ass [as you get the hell out]!"

As an American I've never heard that version. Only "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out", indicating that if you don't hurry, when I slam the door, it might hit you.

Hi Trixi, I wanted to state a flaw (in my opinion) is in all of your videos, but please take it as constructive criticisim! I think the most useful chunks of your content are the small actings in German, but you accelerate a lot your speech and it's very difficult to follow for a learner (which I guess it's 98% of the audience). I think they would be far more useful if you gave them us a few more seconds to grasp it!
