sounds strange? Just think of our word cow pie. That sounds just as strange to a German! 4. Tote Granny Not every German will know 'Tote Oma'. The term originates from the former GDR. There it was a well-known dish that looks like a kind of knit, a real classic with black pudding. The sausage gives the dish a reddish-brown color and this makes it look a bit sinister at first glance. How did the court get its name? It's not so hard to guess now! German humor with a wink. Ludwig from Jena in Germany told Claudia from Utrecht that it was time for 'Tote Oma.
Then there was a moment of silence. Claudia took the German name 'Tote Oma' a little too literally. “Gosh, Ludwig's grandmother is dying. How bad!” Claudia thought it was very inappropriate that Ludwig talked so grandmother. 'Tote Oma' is a traditional DDR photo editor dish. Pure (n)ostalgia for Ludwig. If we do not master a foreign language flawlessly, all kinds of misunderstandings can arise. These can be funny. But sometimes at C1 level? of which you as a non-native speaker do not yet know the meaning. Learning is a continuous process.
Defect signal Admittedly, it is perhaps a prejudice that most Germans like to drink a beer and that beer is often allowed to flow freely in Germany. The Dutch just grab an innocent terrace. Germans know what they want – they enjoy going to the 'Biergarten'. Do you have a hangover and are you going to sleep off your intoxication afterwards? Then according to the Germans you are out of action ('außer Gefecht'). The men's night was over. Leonie was told all the tall tales afterwards. Her German friend had kept it civil.
