A thing that I love in German (as well as in many other languages) is the huge variety of dialects. Although I live abroad for some years now, listening and speaking my own dialect (swabian) always gives me the feeling of âbeing at homeâ.
I know that itâs quite hard for German learners to understand dialectal expressions. But it can be funny to learn some of them. Locals will appreciate that.
Here are some beautiful examples of my dialect:
âA alde Kuah vrgissd gĂ€rn, daĂ se au amol a Kalb gwĂ€ isch.â
(Meaning: Old people always forget that they also have been young (and made their mistakes)).
âA Geizhals ond a fedde Sau senn erschd noch am Dod zu Ă€bbas Nuddz!â
(Nobody likes miserly people during their lives.)
And my favorite (and the unofficial state slogan of Baden-WĂŒrttemberg): âMr kennet Ă€lles. AuĂr Hochdeitschâ
So, whatâs your favorite German dialect and why do you love it?
