Weird Ways Germans Use MUSIC INSTRUMENTS

Hey rabbits!
Today I want to tell you how strangely Germans use instrument names in their language. Trumpets, flutes, guitars, violins - their main purpose is to make music, isn't it? Well, not for Germans. We use them in words, phrases and sayings expressing the weirdest things. Watch and learn. :)

"Mit Pauken und Trompeten" fiele mir noch als musikalischer Ausdruck ein. Sehr schöne Zusammenstellung von sprachlichen Details, wie gewohnt in amüsanter Weise erstklassig präsentiert. Super!

[@Al69BfR]

Warning: This video may contain sax and violins! 😉

[@heapsmadgirl]

There's no sax in your violins! - Büsch 🤭

[@ss01101]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Good one

[@nobodysgirl7972]

Ich vermisse "mit Pauken und Trompeten" und "auf die Pauke hauen" und "die sind wie die Orgelpfeifen", "jemandem den Marsch blasen" aber mal wieder spannend wie viel es da gibt allein schon mit Geigen. Hab ich mir nie Gedanken drüber gemacht.

[@Jemima1377]

Deine Sprachvideos sind immer eine Freude! So viele sprachliche Wendungen zu einem übergreifenden Thema müssen einem erst mal einfallen... - danke! =)

[@der_fuxs]

Der Musikantenknochen wird auch so genannt, weil beim Spielen der Geige eine Armbewegung gemacht wird, welche das Risiko birgt, sich an einer Stuhllehne etc. zu stoßen und somit das kribbelnde Ziehen durch den Arm strömt.

[@DontTrustTheRabbit]

Oh, das wusste ich gar nicht, dankeschön!

[@der_fuxs]

DontTrustTheRabbit ich hab zu danken; für deine tollen Videos 🙂

[@zjwmusic1936]

Thank you so much for this super relevant information to me, a musician learning German

[@lioba.94371]

Vielen Dank, Trixi, für dies erfrischende Sonntagmorgen-Video! Ja, die Deutschen scheinen wohl wirklich, auch in der Sprache, ein musikalisches Volk zu sein. Und woher das Wort A... geige kommt, wusste ich auch noch nicht. Dieser Ausdruck (Armgeige) für Bratsche war mir nämlich noch unbekannt. Mir fehlte noch in der Aufzählung: "auf dem letzten Loch blasen", wenn es einem nicht gut geht, man z. B. dicht vor der Pleite steht. Und: "jemandem die Flötentöne beibringen" für jemanden streng zurechtweisen.

[@calebmunch-ae0fp20]

Well done, Trixi! I thoroughly enjoyed that video...I love your bubbly interjections! Thanks!

[@WarpFactor999]

Hey Trixi, I've watched you since you first started. You just keep getting better and better. OBTW, has anyone mentioned lately that you are still drop dead gorgeous?

[@TheHibener]

Didn't know the funny bone is called Musikantenknochen. In Austria "narrisches Bein" lol

[@NormanF62]

If Trixi lived in Austria, she might do a video on all the things in German there that are NOT found in Germany! She might get two, three or four videos out of it.

[@tomhartke4049]

A form of violin is fiddle. Much more poetic when used for “ ass fiddle”! Now, I must get back to fiddling about....

Fiddles and violins are one and the same. The only difference between the two is the music played on them.

[@MacHamish]

"The tone makes the music". That's actually quite clever. 🙂👍

[@ruckers1624]

You're so funny. thanks for sharing. my wife said she's gonna go Geige Ueben... and I said "Arsch" and she gave me the "Blick"... lol you know Der Blick that could kill a horse in full Gallup??? :D thanks for Sharring Hasilein :p

Your hair is magnificently long.Good work

[@DontTrustTheRabbit]

It grows so fast! :o

[@jonathanfinan722]

DontTrustTheRabbit mine used to do. When I was 30 I sold my hair, which was a metre long, to a hairdresser for £50. Now I have barely enough to keep my head warm, I’m very jealous

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

@@jonathanfinan722 Wow, really? I got 90€ for my hair about 5 years ago, and it took only 3 years to grow - it was shoulder-length, so barely enough to sell anyways. I might do that again next year (if Corona isn't an issue any more by then), and I shaved it off in 2018, and also was at a hairdresser for a (shorter) cut in November of that year, so it wasn't exactly "full length" by then. All this happened way after I was 30.

[@jonathanfinan722]

Seegal Galguntijak yeah. It was 32 years ago though, so I’m actually a dinosaur.

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

@@jonathanfinan722 OK, 50 GPB were a lot of money 32 years ago, lol

Oh the shame! I haven't practiced my horn all weekend and I am feeling the schmertz. BTW, the Berlin Philharmoniker has dozens of short videos with excerpts from their concerts. Very nice, too.

[@hetzerwesson]

Another great video! You are a really good person!

[@timdavis7845]

Isn't a better translation of "die Geige" the English word "fiddle"? Wouldn't the English word "violin" translate better as "die Violine" in German? I know, that technically a fiddle and a violin are the same instrument BUT the "color" of the two words is different in English. "Violin is more formal (e.g. the Maestro played the violin) while "fiddle" is used for less formal contexts (e.g. The Bluegrass band had a fiddle and a guitar in addition to the banjo). Is this also true for the German words "Geige" and "Violine"?

[@trapline7241]

Sounds like there was a reference to the song We Have Candy by Die Antwoord at 5:38.

It's on KZbin - Kühlschrankpinguine PODCAST :)

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

@@DontTrustTheRabbit Makes it hard to listen to, while driving in the car. But I've downloaded the episodes and will use an audio player. Problem with that, contrary to a podcast app, the audio player totally loses the position where you stopped listening, so it'll be a bit cumbersome. Naja, zum Reinschnuppern erst mal sollte es gehen...

"I hit my funny bone. Do you know what that's like?" I do. It makes me wonder why in the world it's called a _"funny_ bone."

[@markalanthompson6214]

It is a homophone is why. Humerus, the bone and humorous, as in funny, kind of sound alike. Most people pronounce them the same, however, the pronunciation is slightly different.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

@@markalanthompson6214 Huh. Okay. That's good to know.

I don't think Anne Sophie Mutter has had any problem with etwas vergigen. She has made great violin music over the years.

[@xonxt]

So, "to roast someone" in German is "to play your opinion on a violin"? Did you hear that, @TwoSetViolin ?

[@Midnight.Creepypastas]

Not necessarily. "To roast somebody" can also mean that you're just making fun of someone. That someone doesn't even have to be there. So it can be quite funny, at least for others. "Jemandem die Meinung geigen" on the other hand usually includes yelling, tears and smashing.^^

[@howardpope3932]

Nothing happened? Have you been outside the space-time continuum? Isn´t normally always something happening?

[@malataur]

In English slang, the "skin flute" refers to a certain piece of the male anatomy. In British English slang, a fart is referred to as a "trouser trumpet".

[@anonb4632]

"Trouser trumpet" - I live in the UK and have never heard that expression.

[@malataur]

@@anonb4632 Yeah, it's older. It's the type of thing an polite elderly gentleman on the bus or train might say: "Terribly sorry. Trouser trumpet." It's been shortened to "trump" now, but that one causes a lot of tittering for political reasons.

"Geige" is "violin" in German and/but it is also possible to say "die Violine".

"Ins gleiche Horn stossen"

[@NormanF62]

Ich denke immer wieder an das Klavier und wie Lea es spielt und dann füllen ihre traurigen Worte meinen Geist. Warum sollte mein Introvertierung mein Problem sein? Warum sollte mein Gefühl mein eigenes sein? Musikinstrumente wirken sich auf unsere Stimmung aus, auf eine Weise, die wir nicht vorhersehen können.

I must admit, I prefer blonde wig Trixie.

[@7bootzy]

Americans actually still use the violin chair idiom: To "play second fiddle" means someone is not the best/first/most in something. "Fiddle" is a Southern term for violin. Its used in a negative sense.

[@anonb4632]

"Fiddle is a Southern term for violin" - Oh you Americans and your parochialism! 😆 The words "violin" and "fiddle" are found throughout the English speaking world, not just the USA. The only difference between the two is the type of music played on them.

Whats German for a hundred days of come to and beyond high art schooling in love fertility and fairytale with natural and human music soundtracks teaching glorious intuition of future fate avoiding Carmina Burana dead ends and all that just in every one quick kiss on the lips? What’s German for father I am ready now lets go to the further-land in German folk saga style whilst keeping all the grace of treasured moments like living anywhere in rock, in walls, in forests in storms in oceans and emotional oceanic experience was like the grace treasured and work constant of raising children, which oceans of sorrow know will never happen for me, but my neice and nephew have saved my souls damnation, thank all the every atom and gathering of atoms as they are each glorious hiding deities wondering why we are all not yet divine enough to evolve rapidly in love saga nurture peace glory adventures and all the useful work wisdom also. Especially the Women’s work, these civilisations of tragedy are fumbling children playing at deities being monkey superheroes? Yet what glory lies beyond high art, in cosmic forest rain longing flirtation come hither from stars above to sub-atomic primitive through all the directions high art can take in poverty, peasantry, mortality and wisdom. The species of kingdom lifestyles of royalty and nobility all the way down to peasantry in every society class of people from street tramp kingdoms to political circle kingdoms. Every non-human species too must share in the wisdom of the various lifestyles of humanity, and do so without having to suffer extinction or over culling.
