| ▲ | stavros 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I've had Germans kill family too, but the video above is a non-native German speaker making fun of German words. I agree that German isn't the most pleasant language to hear spoken, but that video isn't evidence. | | |
| ▲ | coldtea 4 days ago | parent [-] | | No, but it's a funny reminder of how it's perceived. It's not supposed to be evidence, nor I linked it as if it was some scientific proof settling the matter. Basically captures that part you said "I agree that German isn't the most pleasant language". | | |
| ▲ | stavros 4 days ago | parent [-] | | For me, Dutch is even worse. Turkish I also dislike, for some reason, I think because of the throaty "l" sounds. Sorry, Dutch and Turkish friends. | | |
| ▲ | coldtea 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Dutch is kind of like fake-english sounding to me, but not as harsh as German. Turkish does have some harshness. | | |
| ▲ | stavros 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Whaaat, every second sound in Dutch is a throaty "ch", as that's the sound their "r" makes! It's there all the time. |

| ▲ | coldtea 4 days ago | parent [-] | | I don't have to think how Germans speak there's no shortage of Germans passing around these parts. That's how it sounds in everyone's ears, in countries with more melodic languages like Spanish or French. (It's not even the pronunciation overplayed in the video for comedic effect, many words are already threatening sounding by themselves, just the letters on page invoke either threat or bureaucracy). |
