https://www.globetrotter.de ? They have brick & mortar stores in most major cities, too. Hamburg, Berlin, Ruhrpott, to name a few. edit: That was literally the first website I ever accessed because I didn't have any idea what to test the connection on back in 1997.

My Lovely Horse posted:To wit: here in Weimar, the city where they are flaunting Germany's cultural and literary heritage at every street corner, I spotted the caption "Goethe's Haus" today. Deppenapostroph's need love too. Unfortunately, the region I live in seems to enjoy dishing out the love way too much. Especially when it comes to landmark- and/or traffic signs.

To be honest, you can find a lot of really good deals in your local army-surplus store, the one resilient bastion that onlineshopping hasn't put out of business. (And literally every 20k+ sized town has one of those) Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Jul 24, 2011 |

This poo poo truly is as gently caress. Btw, you quoted me wrong.  On another note, is there any other thing in German/English/whatever like the one we just discussed? Where the word for it differs every 10 or so kilometers?

I can't think of anything off the top of my head where it differs this significantly. Just goes to show that bread (and food, for that matter) is Serious Business in Germany, because we love our awesome bread.

For anyone who can read German and is interested in this stuff, this project (which I think I first heard about either here or over in the German language thread in SAL) has a few pretty striking examples of regional variation in colloquial German.

Even the Schrippen "controversy" isn't that much of a problem as soda/pop in the States, I think. In American terms, I'd compare it to being born in New York City and having to endure questions like "So do you have rodeos every weekend, podner? You ride horses yourself?". And it's "soda" . Call it "pop" or "fizzy" if you must, but calling something that is not Coca Cola a "coke" is  as poo poo. (Edit: After talking to somebody who grew up in a "coke" area, it seems more like they're using it like a genericized brand name, as in people saying "let's play some Xbox" and then ending up playing the Wii/PS3.)

Holy poo poo, that's an eye opener right there. How the gently caress can we talk to each other? http://www.philhist.uni-augsburg.de/de/lehrstuehle/germanistik/sprachwissenschaft/ada/runde_0/karten/Broetchen.jpg gently caress whoever speaks of "Rundstück" near Berlin, look at that map and realize that you are a freak.

I have yet to see a country or language where you have such ridiculous regional diversity with accents when it comes to the nomenclature of everyday things. A friend of mine once complained that there are too many different words for customer divider bars at the register of ye olde grocery store in this country. I silenced him by pointing out that just in the different frankonian regions (there is only one true frankonia, gently caress you all), there are roughly 25 loving words for "wheelbarrow". e: I'll start with "a Röbbern"

Oh yeah that explains it. I love German bread and can't stop eating it which makes me hella fat so I basically have to block out all bakerys from perception.

If halb elf is 10:30 or half to/from 11 or whatever, then wouldn't it make more sense that viertel elf be 10:45 or quarter to/from 11? I think I'd understand what everybody meant by x ab/über y, but that one is just messing with me.

Default Settings posted:There's nothing to discuss, but this is the reason why I always use the exact time (Zehn Uhr Fünzehn) when talking to my German coworker. This is so important, especially when you're on the job! Always say the time using the 24-hour convention. EDIT: Ziir posted:If halb elf is 10:30 or half to/from 11 or whatever, then wouldn't it make more sense that viertel elf be 10:45 or quarter to/from 11? "Viertel Elf" means a quarter of eleven. You're in the 11th hour of the day and a quarter of it has already passed. Das MicroKorg fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Jul 26, 2011 |

"Hat so um die 20€ gekostet" would be acceptable - I think the above is actually a contraction of that although it's retarded to say "um die" and then quote an exact price.

I grew up in Berlin with "Viertel nach Zehn" and only learned about "Viertel Elf" pretty late. It was not used in my more sophisticated circles. (Not really kidding, the more intellectual people there viewed a strong Berlin accent/dialect as low-class. This was not so much the case with other dialects in other regions.) Also, "Sonnabend" is cool and "Samstag" is douchey. It's "sun evening" against "sams day", where "sams" doesn't evoke any mental image at all.

flavor posted:Oh ok, I'll be sure to consider that well-supported argument in the future. Whenever I'll talk about "Sonnabend" again, I'll pause and think "Wait a minute, Sereri said I was wrong... hm...". I'm sure "Samstag" is supposed to mean something and I could look that up somewhere, but "Sonnabend" has an immediately obvious meaning.  Excuse me, your opinion that Samstag was douchy because the origin of sams has been crippled beyond recognition is of course the definition that should be taught in schools. One is the continuition of the germanic zoning of the day times in which used the previous evening was part of the day. The other is basically the day of saturn / star of sabbat , the same as in Spanish, French, Italian and English. But one of those was used by communists so you are wrong.
