If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

My favourite word is "umfahren". It means drive around something or drive over something. Good luck learning german.

[@medeaworbs6970]

Max Casper it is pronounced differently though. If you mean it as in "run somebody over" you pronounced the "um" more, or you add a "ge" - umgefahren. As in: Du hast die Katze umgefahren! (You ran the cat over) 😶😂 Now that I write this it seems to be more complicated than it usually is in Everyday life. 😀

[@me.33m]

And you seperate it differently :D Like, "I run somebody over" is "Ich fahre jemanden um" and the German for "I drive around something" is "Ich umfahre etwas" This language must be really hard to learn, my respect to all who learn it!

Making multi cultured jokes is easily one of the best parts of learning a new language. I'm German, and many young people here speak English rather well - which evolved it's own type of humour. It ranges from including English words, jokes and memes into our language, to speaking English with a deliberately *deep* German accent (many Germans are ashamed of their accent when speaking English, so it's our way to poke fun at ourselves).

[@talidelabocha9675]

Als deutscher Muttersprachler denkt man eigentlich nie weiter über diese Wörter nach... Und du hast etwas vergessen: Deutsch kann ziemlich verwirrend sein. Zum Beispiel haben wir für "friend" & "boyfriend" das gleiche Wort: "Freund". ("Friend" & "girlfriend" = "Freundin") Man weiß also nie genau, ob romantisch oder rein platonisch.

And both aren't even discribing the same thing You gain Fernweh if you want sickly to travel to another place and see new things. Wanderlust you have if you're taking a long long walk

[@winterybanana]

@@astrisperspecto4130 Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher dass sich wanderlust nicht nur auf Lust zum wandern sondern im übertragenden Sinne durchaus auch die Lust zum Reisen bedeuten kann.

[@retropixelshow]

Wanderlust ist (wie Kindergarten) ein in das Englische übernommene Wort, das darin jedoch die Bedeutung von Fernweh erhalten hat.

[@Katsax3]

Wanderlust ist tatsächlich auch ein englisches Wort was man nunmal mit Fernweh vergleichen kann :)

[@sannymoon]

Fernweh setzte ich eher gleicht Heimweh 😅😅

[@hm6976]

1. Wanderlust is a german word too, love how you used a german word to explain another, lesser known german word 2. My favourite german expression is "grinzen wie ein Honigkuchenpferd" = grinning like a honey-cake-horse (it's basically the same as grinning from ear to ear or a Cheshire cat smile) I think it's adorable 💕

[@Futurepointmusic]

Hannah McComb yes haha I had exactly the same thought.

[@chrili4069]

In fact it is "grinsen" with an s, but you're right that you pronounce it with a 'soft s' (= z).
