10 ADORABLE THINGS GERMANS DO!

[@adelaidetcarrillo3141]

The way Germans count is so funny! Once I asked my German husband how many loaves of bread he wanted, and then I asked “Do you want two?” And he showed me his thumb, which (for me) means “okay” or “Genau” or just agreeing someone. To confirm I asked again and I baked two loaves of bread for him and he said “I said only 1” and we had this big discussion of numbers with the hands, and I was saying that the number one is with the forefinger and never with the thumb😅 now I learned and he learned. Another common thing Germans do is to blow their noses while seated in the dining table, no matter if people are still eating. I think that’s not nice, but they think it’s normal. Who is the weird one? No one, we are just different.

[@annwyche5471]

Janik I feel you, I'm a German living in the US. Sometimes I translate literal for fun and my kids and husband are just looking at me like 😳🤔🤦‍♀️

[@Andreas_Cologne]

Do they tell you that they only understand Trainstation? 🤣

[@virginiaramirez3341]

Lol

[@MCHkid13]

As someone who is Asian the whole not taking off your shoes in the house is so bizarre to me. My bf is Venezuelan and when I visited his sister’s house she said I could keep my shoes on. Of course I didn’t do as she said. 😂 Nothing worse than getting dirt in your home imo. I just can’t. Lol.

[@sabracadabra4368]

I have slippers for home. Then I have my street shoes. I thought as an American this was common but of course found out no it is not. My mother is from Mexico and she’s the one who would always yell as us for wearing our street shoes inside. So that part of the video was super interesting for me.

[@bartoszwojciechowski2270]

yeah, as a Pole, I fully agree. I think most countries in Europe have this custom of taking one's shoes off before entering other ppl's homes (and their own but I think even Americans don't walk with their shoes on around their own apartments), except maybe for Ireland and the UK.

[@justmichaNW]

I think EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE THEIR SHOES OFF AT THE HOUSE!! We walk in the side walk cross the street step into grass mud and omg from people spitting and dogs pooping can’t I just can’t be with shoes inside

[@angriffslusticherWildoger]

Right? Like why tf anyone should bring the dirt from outside and spread it in his own home. I’ll never understand it

[@sns4748]

Upperclass people don’t ask you to take shoes off since this is too informal. Lower class people often don’t care. So taking shoes off is what middle class people do. 😂

[@morgenlocasale-singleton1509]

I am from the United States and my boyfriend from Germany. When we first met 5 years ago when he wanted me to remind him to do something, instead of saying "remind me to..." he would say "remember me to...." from the direct translation "erinnere mich". I thought that was so cute and let him say that for about four months before I finally corrected it lol

[@ddr-kindinberlin]

You are so funny. ;-) It is true, I am German and I also sometimes mix up "remind me to" with "remember me" . It is so funny, that you think this is cute. I guess it is because you are in love with your boyfriend so much. 😍

[@lumina9995]

I felt like this about my American bf. It was so cute how he was attributing the wrong gender to words 🥰 I wanted to cuddle.him all the time. It's like a cute little kid talking.

[@florentinenice9146]

Well I won't be using that one anymore

[@noemipadilla1233]

@@lumina9995 it's hard to remember the gender of each word :( specially when we know more than 2 languages, for example, my first language is Spanish, and we have just 2 genders (male and female), but I learned french, with the same number of genders, but it differs from Spanish, and now German, with 3 genders :S E. G. In Spanish, a Car is male, but in French is female, and in German is neutrum. So, sometimes I make mistakes with them :(

Austrian here (maybe it’s interesting for someone): 1. do that too - just easier to eat for me 🤪 2. do that too - no shoes in my house 3. do that too - fingers crossed & thumb one -> both at the same time hahaha, but I don’t sing a song, but I know this song haha 4. I don’t sing, but I Text them at midnight 🥰 5. count the same as Janik (starting with thumbs) 6. maybe with the sentence „ich glaub ich spinne“ - I think I spider or sth like that 😛 lettuce is not salad? 😖 learned sth new 7. I am not sure if I do that - with sounds weird haha 8. hand gesture: I don’t do that. 9. can’t really talk about that because I am not a guy or dated anyone 10. in Austria as well. I am literally Austrian and my friends were born here, but most of them are Serbians 😛 love my Serbian friends 🤍🤍 but it’s still hard - the internet helps, but it’s still hard

[@JorgeGarza2988]

I am Mexican and I start counting using my thumbs, I do that since I was a kid. Ich finde es einfach. Später wenn ich Deutsch in der Uni gelernt habe es bemerkt, ich dachte aller in Mexiko und andere Länder war ganz normal mit der Daumen zu Zählen. :).

[@lolasunshine6045]

I'm German and I never heard of that "du schaffst das schon song" and didn't know about that "I swear" sign with the hands. About the happy birthday, in my experience it usually happens when there is a group of friends with you but not a single person. I sang it a few times alone to a very good friend. I once didn't know the english word kettle word so I said "water cooker" instead. For the shoes it's often the case that we take them off but not always. For example in my grandparents house we never took our shoes off when we visited them for a few hours.

[@eloise-jx7mo]

In my family, we have the same tradition singing happy birthday on the phone for friends and family 🇩🇪🎶🎊 and i love it, i feel like it's way more special and personal

[@TheBluedragonfly2]

I am German and I know that song at 4:04 :D it is from Rolf Zuckowski who sing songs for and with children. He is pretty well known for his music, especially for people in their late 20s, early 30s. The song is called "Ich schaff das schon" (I can do it), about a little girl growing up and overcoming different struggles while becoming an adult :)

[@soilofk]

You both are adorable! Can't wait to see your wedding! You both are going to look stunning!

[@candyqueen0064]

También he tenido la oportunidad de convivir con varias personas de esta cultura y siempre se me han hecho de lo más dulces y cálidos🥺✨ Hasta su idioma es de lo más adorable jajjsjajja "Handschuhen" Gracias por enseñarnos también las expresiones como "Die Sonne lacht", lo de apretar los pulgares, la forma de contar y la seña de "lo juro", esa no me la sabía! Ahora en el próximo video podrían hacer lo mismo, pero con cosas de español y mexicanos/latinos! Estaría genial 💙

My german boyfriend also translates like that! In german the word elevator translates to Aufzug, which literally means “Up-Train” so we call it that now 😂

8:45 In Spain we also tend to say (for example) "with 12 I did...". Don't know how it's said in Latam but in Spain we never say "cuando tenía 12 años..." or "a los 12 años...". Both are totally correct but never say it that way. We usually say "a los 12 (and we skip "años" because it's impied)" or "con 12 años..." (literally "with 12 years...) and when we're learning Englisgh it's the form we incorrectly use, the same as Janik.

[@AMSGolden]

I was nodding along the whole time! And you're soooo not alone, Joss! It IS adorable, haha! I don't know if Janik ever did something like this, but the guy I dated for the longest time would text me, "I'm so exited" about something he was happy about and I didn't have the heart for the first month or two to correct him to "excited" because it was so cute to read it (then I realized the super disservice I was doing-- eep!). We still laugh about it today and will say, "Hey, are you exited about tomorrow?" or like, "You know, I'm super exited." Haha! I loved this video♡ ALSO! The "with 20" thing-- SO TRUE! They don't realize it either and get soooo confused when you point it out. 9 years later, still happening. I doubt it will change, haha!

Yeah, there was a time (mid 2000s to mid 2010s) when every boy always had the same hair as Justin Bieber, at least in Germany. I already knew Janik had some Justin Bieber hairstyle when he said he had a different hairstyle in High School. It was just that time. The hairstyle Janik is describing was the worst of all of them. The hair was always hanging in all the boy's faces and then they all had to shake their heads weirdly to the side all the time so that the hair would not fall in front of their eyes. That was also the time when they all wore their trousers not on their hips but on their ass, so you would always see half of their underpants, and men's bracelets made out of leather were somehow popular among teenage boys
