Did he really say Swastika?? Haha im dying.

[@israhelldid9119]

i love it

[@chicken8wings]

The rest if the world has so much respect for you, I hope you realise that one day!

[@redfoxbox]

I'm half German and have lived there half of my life. I'd say: Train stations, old buildings, good food, summer festivals and Christmas markets, green fields, farms and a great community and economy. Ich bin stolz halb Deutsch zu sein.

[@michaelb2826]

No time to answer questions at the end... they really are punctual

[@IvonaFlakus]

I hope that the guy at 4:24 knows that "Jugoslawien" doesn't exist anymore..?

[@easylanguages]

"being proud" is a tribal feeling. It is romantic, it is easy, it is instinctive and it feels good. But it is not a mature thought really. And it causes probably more damage than good. We should realize very clearly that we cannot be proud of our country. And then continue to love it with your whole heart. And with your all intellectual potential. I don't feel proud and I'm not ahamed. I just want to contribute to my country to help it to be able to solve it's problems to the better.

[@ihsahnakerfeldt2765]

There's nothing wrong with being proud of a country that managed to build itself, realize its mistakes and uphold honourable values of freedom, individualism and human rights. There's also nothing wrong with wanting to defend this culture and its values from gradual undermining and destruction. This irrational rejection of any sort of national sentiment should stop, and if anything it serves to expose a wealthy country to intruders with no respect for any culture but their own to wreak havoc while emotionally blackmailing the people for their past and fear of being xenophobic into blind acceptance.

[@raveenjaya5573]

Same feeling

[@TodoGardel]

Diese Frau ist die Beste!! Und sie würde gerne in Argentinien leben!! Das finde ich echt toll!!

[@astr0al3x]

Danke für dein Video! Es ist sehr gut!

[@Loony3107]

super interessant und spannend! vielen Dank für das Video ;)

[@ArturoStojanoff]

Yaaaay!!! That woman wanted to go to Argentina!!! Where I live!!!

[@Anakianaj]

Whenever I asked someone the question "Where would you want to live, if you could freely choose?" there are a lot of countries mentioned, but I kinda noticed that there are two main opinions; "somewhere in the south" Italy, Greece, Spain and so on - and "somewhere in Scandinavia or Canada".

[@oOMexicanChurroOo]

Cool!!!! That made me think of doing the same questions but for learning spanish, here in Mexico.

[@nikmancino8656]

ahahahah der letzte Teil ist fantastischh!!!

[@halifaxx55]

i'm kind of happy one dude said conformity. In other stereotypes or cultural differences with Germany videos, I have not come across or heard of the 'conformist' one. As having hosted a german exchange student and meeting his german group of friends, the first thing I noticed were their clothes and how they were all wearing either polos or button down shirts. They were dressed nice but found it odd that they were all similar in the US you would see people with piercings, dyed hair, long hair, hipster, goth, nerds, bros, and everything else. Found it strange...

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

It's true. This phenomenon of conformity is also seen in lot of other European countries, even more so to small Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Norway.

[@IlMagnusReviews]

Ich bin spanisch und ich wirklich liebe deutsch madchen!!!!! ihre Lächeln!!!!!

Najo länger könntest du Hartz4-Empfänger eh nicht dafür sorgen...

[@pascualmaykell]

Ich auch hahahah

[@Safi01e]

Very interesting video. Thanks!

[@barbhorses]

Very interesting! The way they said Italian or Italy sounded exactly like how I would say it (I am a native of Los Angeles County near the beaches). Once I get my bachelors in nursing I plan on being a traveling nurse so maybe I will be able to work in Germany for a time :) I have always wanted to go to Germany and I also worked for Lufthansa on the ground at Los Angeles International Airport. I would describe the typical German as being efficient and organized.

[@goodVibzz]

now i know what they mean by punctuality with that last bit..jajaja

[@krakrokrunkeo]

Hey nice work megauchsein! i suscribt.

[@easylanguages]

yes you are! Vikings were cool :D (I sure understand your point.)

[@ahmad0farah]

0:56 NOTE;THE ARAB MAN SAID IN ARABIC: THE UPCOMING GOOD GENERATION WHICH IS IN ARABIC IS: الجيل الطالع THE LADY 'S TRANSLATION IS TOTALLY WRONG HINWEIS, DIE ARABISCHE Mann sagte arab die kommende Generation, die GOOD IN Arabisch ist الجيل الطالع Der Dame TRANSLATION ist völlig falsch DANKE

[@ephremijaduade4642]

ich liebe gern diese video

[@mogami4869]

I think it is more about feeling proud of fellow country(wo)men achieving great things? As a German I definitely feel some kind of pride when "we" win something / compare well on an international level. I just think we don't celebrate it as much as Americans do.

[@easylanguages]

@hiso1981 we didn't translate what the man said. We transcriped what the women said. What language was it? What did the man say?

[@easylanguages]

@brennj12 it's Münster in Westfalen

[@MoriAryka]

yup...they're so friendly at the end,,,

[@jesaispasmoi13]

I was so surprised to hear someone say they'd like to live in Canada!! Why would anyone want to live here, what's so special about Canada? I'm from Canada and I'd like to live in Germany!!

[@raikmond]

In case the people who manages this channel read this... Please, can you flip the order of the videos? I would like to go from the first to the latest, and not the opposite way, and it's really annoying to have to cancel fullscreen and click the previous (next) video, or even to realise that the video that has just started is one I've already seen. Please, I know this is not such an annoyance for you :)

[@SabbelZombie]

gut gemacht daumen hoch :p

[@juliamt5301]

I love hearing the german language

[@suevialania]

Bavaria, Berlin, etc I like Germany! Keep Germany, german!💚❤️🇵🇹👍🏻🇩🇪

[@juniorjan6320]

Danke

[@davidrivera-ve2jm]

interesting answer! I guess if a nation has a great industrial economy without so much imperialism(usa, france UK) the people must have discpline, punctuality and other elements that make the nation people work as a team. Same thing with south corea japan sweden and other rich countrys thanks to their hardworking skilled people.

[@joshbrenneman]

I have a question. In which city does this video take place?

[@akyolahmet.com4848]

Zweite Liste typisch Deutsch: 1. Krawall und Remmidemmi auf Sylvester. 🎉 2. Direktheit ✅ 3. Leistungsorientiert 💪 4. Bürokratie 📚 5. Ordnungsamt 😮 6. Öffnungszeiten 🗝️ 7. Allerlei Salatarten ohne Gemüse😅😂 8. Jack Wolfskin 9. Kartoffelsalat 10. Und Harzt VI 😂

[@FashionAplenty]

That guy who said swastika....

[@OpenGL4ever]

Actually the word proud does still have the meaning in the sense of pride in Germany, but it is historically negatively tinged so everyone tries to find a workaround for the question when asked so directly. In a soccer game no one thinks about that and is proud subconsciously.

[@JeanySullivan]

hört sich gut an! :-)

[@MsSpychick]

0:49 Typisch Deutsche)))))))))))

[@Chazzan805]

What are Pommesbuden? "Chippies?" At 3:40.

[@Kamitube]

4:00 toller typ :D

[@Nuklearexperiment]

You should ask the people of my grade. The ones who don't want to live in Germany, so around 4 or 5, all want to live in the U.S. later.

[@rachitverma1723]

Ron weasley at 1:32 :P

[@SpongeMindTV]

LMAO

[@ThorAxeTheThunder]

@SomeUser9753 thats your answer or what do you want to say?

[@presidentof69]

Exactly; the scars of German history are felt deeper by the older generation who evade the question and act as if it can't be answered. The younger people often say yes (especially in Part 1).

[@OpenGL4ever]

Ich würde sagen es ist eher die Erwartungshaltung der anderen bezüglich Pünktlichkeit und die Bedeutung die ihr zugewiesen wird. Das merkt man besonders dann sehr gut, wenn man selbst nicht pünktlich ist. Ein bisschen Lockerheit würde hier manchem Deutschen durchaus gut tun. Ich bin übrigens selbst Deutscher, aber dafür spontan und lege keinen so großen Wert auf Pünktlichkeit wie es meine Landsleute IMO übertrieben tun.

[@Scratchyjam]

0:18 Er sieht wie Stipe Erceg aus, oder?

[@Cokebei3grad]

04:37 Alle mal aufgepasst, jetzt wird ein neues deutsches Wort vorgestellt: Multikultikulturellkultur ...;-)

[@Anakianaj]

II) And since people don't stop telling us how bad we are and how much we have to make up and so on and on one can't really do something about it. - In fact I've got tired of explaining my point of view and do what most people in the videos do: "What does being proud of my nation mean?" And then just say "I'm kinda happy that I live in Germany and it's nice here. I like living here." ... I guess for most people it's the modest way of saying they're kind of proud to be German.

[@Chazzan805]

One man says that he is stolz for the "Vaterland". Is "Vaterland" an expression still used in Germany today? When I hear it I think of WWII.

[@Kamitube]

"Pommesbude" means "fries stand / fries stall"^^

[@rxxic]

hey but the guy at 0:58 definitely did not say what the woman did translate! You should have edited it out! hahah!

[@ZYADNARUTO]

00:51 Arab....I Loved that ..

[@mogami4869]

Yeah sure, the word "Vaterland" is way older than WW2. We still have it in the national anthem, so why not? It isn't used often in everyday situations, but as a post WW2 - German I don't feel bad using it.

[@easylanguages]

@battlesn1per a joke?

[@upsawliiz]

4:12 "irland" I need to swap countries with this lady!

[@jakesvideos3990]

I think the word proud has a different meaning in German than it does in English. In German the word proud usually pertains to an accomplishment. One can be proud of a good grade on a test or something like that so you see when the Germans are asked the question they seem a bit confused. The definition in English I think is a bit more flexible and is more often associated with nationalism. Watch German soccer fans at an international game and you'll see that they do have pride.

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

The concept of "Stolz" practically perfectly corresponds to with the English term "pride" in all of both terms' connotations, whether pertaining to personal achievement or national pride. It's just that owing to recent dark history, many Germans are understandably reluctant to say they're proud of their country.

[@ChocoChip1993]

did noone get that it was about what is really typical for german? not only the cliches! -.- ok some DID get it... well ok "potatoes" is true. and in summer we LOVE to grill and drink beer. :D i know enough people who do that every single day as soon as the temperature is over 15°C :D

[@PanterAmetal100]

I'd say, in Germany and the US

[@Bierdosenhalter]

3:20 think he said "Ja nu(n), ich bin nun mal Deutscher"

[@nonstraight1059]

trampadoo . that guy spoke arabic. not turkish

[@weloveasiabibi929]

Can anyone explain why when the arabian couple speaks the girl only translate and the man gives his opinion?? Why didn't the girl give her opinion if she's the german speaker?? Is it because they are Muslims???

[@weloveasiabibi929]

00:48

[@skyhighlihi]

i has nothing to do with religion and i don't understand why either even tho i'm muslim ! and one more thing the lady translated typical German by bad or negative German which wrong.

[@A7xBatCountryA7x]

@magauchsein no he was for real lol

[@0kaitz]

alot of times i find myself thinking that i don't really like it here either... so i don't blame them >_____<

[@JeanySullivan]

Spannendes Projekt und sehr gut gemacht, finde ich. Typisch deutsch ist für mich übrigens diese nervige Distanziertheit, z.B. dass sich Nachbarn ewig mit Nachnamen ansprechen und es auch im Arbeitsleben sehr distanziert zugeht, was eigentlich schade ist, weil die Herzlichkeit fehlt und Freundschaften sehr schwer entstehen.

[@DrWho123]

Yugoslavia? What? That man don`t know it is several years since this country divided into smaller ones.

[@easylanguages]

@oOMexicanChurroOo that would be great :)

[@eddiepoole]

sich mit seinem auto genau in diese eine enge lücke zwischen zwei andere fahrzeuge zu quetschen, während der rest des lidl- oder rewe-parkplatz-areals völlig leersteht, morgens um 7 uhr. das ist deutsch!

[@zyvagobergman4391]

Arbeitsamt,Termin, Regiokarte,€ Job,Zypresse, BEWERBUNG und LEBENSLAUF ! : ) Gelbe Seiten, Aldi, Saturn, Münster, Rathaus, Kurort,Dialekt : )

[@Meeko4eve39]

Reporter : Was ist typische deutsch ? Frau : Typisch deutsch ? Ähm ... keine Spontanität !" Na , die hat's aber mal (spontan :D) getroffen !

[@Drahcir14]

1:45 schau mal was hinter ihm steht, das ist typisch deutsch!

[@gnawershreth]

I find it kinda odd.. And sad really, that so many Germans almost seem like they're unhappy being German. I'm not just talking about this video. I've watched quite a few videos about Germany, because I like it. I just don't get it. Germany seems amazing to me as a Dane, and I kinda hate myself for forgetting 99% of the German that I was taught in school. I'd really like to able to speak German fluently.. But at least most Germans seem to speak English now, so we can still communicate. :p

[@rukhsanazaidi629]

Wow. These people are so weird. If you came to Canada, Italy, America, and India people can't stop going on and on about how great their country is and these people seem to have zero attachment to their country.

[@irondasgr]

Obviously you don't have the slightest idea about european history, modern or not.

[@irondasgr]

Correction: world history, not european. Two world wars in the last 100 years are not just a european matter.

[@heeelgekkkkkk]

Yeah it's a sensitive matter

[@linshiify]

It doesn't have anything to do with history. "proud = feeling pleasure or satisfaction over something regarded as highly honorable or CREDITABLE TO ONESELF (often followed by of, an infinitive, or a clause)." You can not feel proud for something that other guys have done, because you did nothing and the action is not creditable to you. Only people brainwashed from a small age by patriotism will not get simple logic and will indulge in sheep mentality "I am proud of my country" bullshit. A german man has the same right of feeling proud about what his ancestors have done as a guy born in Mozambique. They both did nothing for the actual state of affairs in Germany.

[@shaquebrazil7503]

Germany is really depressing.

[@BlackWhiteBelgrade011]

Mozart war ein Oesterreicher. ( Aus SALZBURG )

[@LattiMonstaaa]

its in the nature of people to try to be different from their homeland, you shouldnt insult him like that for that

[@bijo0011]

at 1:47 lol

[@thelobsterperson]

Who was that guy who said Swastika?!

[@11Kralle]

2.13 die Frau sagt es: Hektik!

[@pikapolonica9548]

Ich höre nur drei Wörter: (die) Ordnung, (die) Pünktlichkeit, (die) Zuverlässigkeit... :-D

[@zableful]

I would :)

[@TobinskyGER]

I would like to live inf Finland, if I didn't live in Germany

[@EuroFighter1988]

Because they arent rich, Germany has not many rich people and Germans belive that the only reason to live in the US is beeing rich or trying to become rich. In Canada on the other Hand they can live as Workers and still have benefits they had in germany which are hilariously expansive in the US. (Education for CHildren, Healthcare ect.)

[@OpenGL4ever]

Also ich fand er hat Humor. :)

[@abdamit]

@magauchsein haha was für´n lustiger witz

[@MrZORRROOO]

The German economy today in conditions of crisis the most powerful, it ranks with the USA and China. Germans - these simple hardworking people, they have made it своми own hands. They do not stay day with beer or vodka at the TV. I think it it is necessary to be proud of myself! Ukraine.

[@barbywinner]

Viking guys are cool

[@musabah9997]

👍👍

[@ClonedOriginals]

The guy who said swastika? Can we speculate that Germans do not regret the war, they just regret they lost?

[@easylanguages]

Wolf No ;) I actually don't know the background of why the guy said it and what else this guy said, but if there is one thing for sure than it's that you don't need need to be afraid that Germans didnt regret the war.

[@pinch8006]

+Easy Languages of course you don't regret the war. You've forced 2 world wars. If you regreted anything, you wouldn't start any war, or you wouldn't start the second one. Because you started ww2, you became a rich country, stealing from half the europe and got out of the shit you were sitting in before ww1 and ww2.

[@11Kralle]

+Wolf You can speculate all day. But there maybe some truth in that assumption of yours: loosing WW1 was rather odd... Loosing the 30years-war as well...

[@fremejoker]

+Pinch Easy Languages forced two world wars? really? when? Don't you think your hate especially for this channel is unnecessary?

[@fremejoker]

Pinch `How does it feel to live with that huge load of hate?

[@jawbreackersprinkles]

they just dont know how awsome we are thats all :)

[@FunnylpHD]

No, thats not right, friend :D I think some (small) guy dont like the german, because the english teaching ;) Sorry for my bad english, im german :D

[@S5Dic09]

2:11 or probably you weren´t listening

[@HL2BeTAFaN22]

Was ist für dich typisch deutsch? - Hakenkreuz! Funniest Guy in this video !

[@OpenGL4ever]

I did and i am pretty sure he was joking.

[@TobiWobi7]

Münster :D:D und auch noch einen wiedererkannt :D

[@eferrari96]

Guys seriously, if you don't know why people want to live in Germany, there is nothing special over here, the only good thing is that you are economically safe, but what would you like to see if you are in Germany? Old architectures during eating sausages and drinking beer?

[@rodrigocientista]

I totally agree. I'd be very happy to have the same nationality of Leibniz, Mozart, Beethoven, Kant, Gauss, etc. I think german people warm, despite the common belief.

[@OpenGL4ever]

Von wo willst du wissen, dass das kein Tourist war?

[@jbolivar07]

lol 4:25 yugoslavia

[@68thelzeppelin]

I dont get germans for crying out. They should see the rest of the world and then they would love germany and being germans as they should. Germans are great!! why can they see it?

[@aca347]

That guy wasn't speaking Turkish. Ich komme aus der Turkei. Also, ich bin mir sicher ja. He looks kinda Turkish though. So, yeah. If you are in Germany, with a face like that, you will be mistaken for being Turkish. I'm kinda glad that I don't look Turkish. Most people assume I'm German or something here. Hah. Btw, I can't believe that these people would want to leave their country. Spend some days in some fucked up and corrupted country with a scheiße economy, maybe that will teach you.

[@S5Dic09]

they should come la (latina america or los angeles), ... i for once feel sorry for those germas who would like to leave their country....
