Honestly some english phrases just sound much smoother in english than they
do in german and that’s the whole point. Ads have to be short and
memorable.
Rather than resisting English “encroachment” it is necessary to see that
both can coexist. I don’t watch any hollywood movies in german or read any
english books in german because it feels wrong to me. But similar to that I
wouldn’t read Kafka or Nietzsche in english.
English is just the more sophisticated language as it has thousands upon
thousands of words more than german and even if you can speak English
brilliantly, that doesn’t mean you can understand every word you’re
confronted with in a book. I find that fascinating.
I am german and I find words of english origin in the german language ok.
german will not die. but english is the latin language nowadays. and the
german language can adapt other words very easy. its normal. we have a lot
of french words in our language too. thats why german is a very varied
language. but the german language won’t die. more and more singers return
to german lyrics in their songs and it’s not anymore so “cool” to use
english slang today, as it was 10-15 years ago.
Mutti is concerned with the loss of German culture? Did she just wake up to
the destruction and emptiness of her Marxism/globalism or is she now just
trying to score political points with Lumpenproletariat?
Stop the encroachment! Or, Germans will end up like my people, Native
Americans.
A shrinking population of speakers who really know the meaning of
traditional words and phrases. Protecting your language preserves your
heritage. Don’t take your language for granted.

You obviously don’t know what you are talking about. There are actually few
scientist/philosophers who left Germany and the rest of them staid and
wrote all their papers in german. Just ask someone who actually studies
Philosophy. Most of them learn at least some german. And no, german is not,
a harsh war language. That is just wrong. Even though you won’t believe it,
since you are so close-minded, there are a lot of famous people who
actually liked german very much.
@noomexican we already have a term for that in german, its “denglish”! yeah
and I hate it. best example is that we have jobs now instead of “arbeit”.
“Arbeit” includes having a decent wage and being able to feed your family
and own a home by definition in germany. the english word doesnt have that
meaning. therefore – workforce gets cheaper.
Die Szene in der gesagt wird das deutsch abgeschafft werden sollte, musst
du mir zeigen, die habe ich wohl glatt übersehen. Und deine Definition von
Altag scheint auch ganz interressant zu sein. Was ist nicht Altag als die
Wirthschaft, ohne jene Altag nicht möglich ist? Wirthschaft ist überall und
somit auch English. Wenn ich einkaufen gehe, sehe ich dort Artikel, wie
kommen sie dahin oder warum? mmh. Ich weiß ja nicht wo du lebst Jungchen,
werd aber erst mal Volljährig und dann reden wir weiter
Thanks to the internet ‘anglicisms’ have infiltrated just about any
language. I find it outright silly to see and/or hear t
IT´S SAD TO SEE WHAT GERMANY HAS BECOME …I ONCE HEARD IT IS BECAUSE THEIR
DEFEAT IN WWII THAT MADE THEM SO OBSESSED WITH ENGLISH SPEAKNG CULTURES.
Im sure most of the world have heard of “Das Auto”, There’s nothing wrong
with using German even outside of Germany in business. That is not the most
popular German in North America though, the most popular German phrase
unfortunately is Heil Hitler
Hahahaha…1/3 der Menschen in Deutschland hatten ja auch keinen
Englischunterricht wenn nicht noch mehr…Schlaumeier…außerdem gibt es
Studien laut denen sich knapp 56 Prozent der deutschen Bundesbürger
durchaus auf Englisch unterhalten können…es vollständig zu beherrschen
ist Erstens nicht Notwendig und Zweitens nicht normal…dafür leben wir in
DEUTSCHland…der Englischunterricht ist nur eine Grundlage…und diese
Funktion erfüllt er…will man mehr muss man eben selbst nachhelfen…(:
Dein Kommentar ist einfach nur unnötig und meine Meinung braucht dich doch
eigentlich nicht zu kümmern, oder? Ob nun English cool ist oder nicht, sei
einmal dahin gestellt. Jedenfals ist English in unseren Altag von Nöten, da
Deutschland nicht nur irgendein Land ist, sondern eine Wirthschaftsmacht.
Die Tatsache das wir so viel English beherschen ist in diesem Fall
lediglich ein entgegenkommen für andere Länder. Und auch Wichtig.
Why are so concern about having 100% of the German population learn
English? It a hell of a lot better than 90% of the US population unable to
learn anything past the age of 7 other Spanish and maybe French. I could
answer you in German, but my knowledge of it is still terrible.
I agree that businesses should be left alone by Government, however I do
get rather irritated when I’m in Germany and I find a lot of English, and
especially when there do exist the German Equivalents. I think instead of
everybody learning English, they should spread it out into certain Areas
within each Province, and have French, Icelandic, Russian, Spanisch,
Swedisch ect as well.
Seriously? That’s considered a problem?
