I need an apron with "Kiss the Kock" printed on it.

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I'll also need a fanny pack labeled "kockin pussi" to wear with it.

[–] aggelalex@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Piss on the cook? 😂

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Show me your pussi(bag)!

So off topic, byt where do you get these with both finnish and swedish texts?? And everywhere they now have the smaller bag sizes as well, is this recent? Sincerely, a Finnish sipsi lover.

[–] TommyJohnsFishSpot@lemy.lol 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I just pulled a picture from the internet. The only reason I know these exist is because I used to be active on a forum with many Finns.

[–] Cordyceps@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

Ah makes sense, those seem to not have been in circulation good many years now. RIP Megabags, you will be missed :(

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

sorta scares me off. Too wet and loose

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Kant (pronounced like "cunt") means "edge" in Polish.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

One of the polish words for luck is "fart"

Every time i go to stockholm by car theres a huge roadsign with "kurvaking" on it or something

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Kungens kurva? It's named after an incident in 1946 when the king slid off the road with his car.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah thats what i thought but theres a store or something called kurva king i think. But im not sure, ill check next time i go by there. Probably a play on kungens kurva itself.

Fart, prick.

Swedish 🇸🇪

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

In Croatian, "kut" means an angle, or a corner of something, "rub" would be edge

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 1 week ago

I never realized this. Thanks.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please read this German sentence aloud:

Ich suche den Koch.

(I'm looking for the chef.)

[–] troed@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

With correct pronounciation it sounds nothing like what people seem to believe though.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

German is my native language , so yes. It sounds a lot different from what you might think if you can't speak "ch". But if you're American....

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm learning German (slowly), how to you "ch" properly?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Back of the throat. Like the the J in Juan. Except in German, it always comes at the end of a word/syllable. If it's at the beginning, it is usually pronounced like a k (as in Christ/Christian/etc.)

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Omg. Nobody's ever been able to explain this properly to me. Also vielen Dank, du hast mir mein deutscher ch-Laut endlich freigeschaltet 😄

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can’t quite tell if this is sarcasm or not, but either way, I would really recommend watching some YouTube videos on the topic, because pronunciation is a lot easier to communicate verbally.

Also, as the other commenter pointed out, I overgeneralized my statement and there are certainly words (like China or Chemie) that start with a ch that’s not commonly pronounced as a k (except in some dialects).

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No I'm serious! I've asked german friends and they just say it's a hissing sound, which doesn't tell me anything about mouth placement like it does to directly relate it to a more specific sound that I do know how to make. I've been casually learning for a few years though, so I probably wasn't too far off in the first place.

I'm talking only about the 'ch' consonant in words like ich, milch, brauchen, that isn't present in English. I realize there's others that are exceptional, regional, case-by-case, and so on.

Videos don't help me much but I appreciate the suggestion! My attention and comprehension is better when I can read at my own pace, formats with audio only add benefit when it comes with live feedback on what I'm doing. Unless I'm just getting the flow of the language of course, but that would just be a normal video on any topic.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

Oh, okay then. Thanks for the praise, I was literally just being lazy.

Technically, there are two different ch-sounds (in standard German, that is). One is softer and more akin to hissing, like in Milch, and one is sharper, like in brauchen.

If we’re sticking with the Spanish comparison, you could say the first one is kinda like Juan, and the second like José, though I guess that also depends a lot on the dialect. I don’t really know much Spanish tbh, so it could also be more like the difference between Spanish Spanish and Mexican Spanish. Basically what I’m saying is that the way j is pronounced in Spanish is the closest equivalent to how ch is pronounced in German that I could think of.

IDK if there are any specific rules, but which one is correct seems to be mostly based on the accompanying vowel.

A, O, U all generally use the harsher one: Bach, Buch, doch, Koch, Drache, Fluch

I and E generally seem to use the softer one: ich, dich, Blech, Pech

HTH

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

As a Bavarian (South of Germany) I agree with the Ch at the start of the word being pronounced like a K (Chiemsee starts with the sound K), but with it depends on the region. I start "China" and "Chemie" with K, but a lot of people start it with "sch" (which sounds like sh in English). But that's really weird for my ears.

And the father of my ex wife is from Cologne, his "ch" sound quite like "sh" as well. Kirche (church) sounds like Kirsche (cherry) when he says it. Funnily his last name has two "ch".

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Ah yes, of course there’s exceptions, as always. And of course it varies by region and dialect. Should have been a bit more careful. At least half of Germany probably pronounces China and Chemie with a soft “ch”, though I believe almost everyone pronounces Chiemsee with a K (which makes sense since it’s a proper name).

[–] SandmanXC@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I always carry a spoon in my kock pussi.

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also: dick = fat in German

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

"gross" and "grosser" are also both great compliments in the bedroom

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

That translation still kind of makes sense in English.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why would they make this LOL

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So that people post it online for even more people to see

There used to be a Polish ad which went like: "Tea. Who, You? Yeah, bunny!", "If You feel offended, learn English". If You pronounce the first part in a monotone voice You'll say "You fucking dick!" In Polish.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 0 points 6 days ago

The first part works better with a polish ESL accent compared to a more native one btw

[–] addie@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

'Ty chuju jebany', nice.

Our Polish taxi driver does a very solid line in 'kurwa' every other word, but it's always nice to expand your horizons.
