Learning German is difficult

That’s his stance as well :smiley:


OK, so my German is good enough to understand this, no problem, but clearly not good enough to get the joke. Anyone explain?

AI suggests a dissonance between the harshness of Achtung! and the diminutive -schen, but would that really have you laughing like an idiot?

In Swiss German it’s probably almost always Vogelhüsli – literal translation to German is simply Vogelhäuschen. There is no joke involved.

Only thing I would call Vogelhus in Swiss German (Vogelhaus in German) I can think of off the top my head would be some big owl’s Vogelhaus in the zoo. Although that would then probably be called Nistkasten.

AI is the idiot here.

Because I got TOO close to the hornets only to read that there are hornets in the bird house.
