The sheep is?
well, Saab produces the Wixxen and the Grippe
In place of sex , may I use the word bumsen ? Or is that moded?
Now I came to the conclusion ,that the german language is not so hard to learn
You take it to the edge of a cliff because they push back harder.
So I was told..
Exactly.
This reminds me of my boss who spoke about "sexileute" when she meant "zaechsilüüte"
I thought some things were better left unsaid :P (but yes, that is what I meant)
For some time I tried to avoid ordering a table for six at a restaurant, so I would make sure that I had a party of 5 or 7 or eight...
Ein Tisch für sechs Personen bitte
Was gave rise to a few smirks in Bern.
I have now learned to pronounce sechs and I found that there is no sex in Bern
Your boss as I hope will accept that it is "Knabesch üü sse
I always am between laughing and tears when somebody from Baaasel speaks about the Ziircher Chnaabeschiiesse
OP, if you're unsure, an easy workaround for those situations is to pronounce the "ch" in "sechs" as it is in "ich".
Yeah, that's not correct standard "opera" German, but a bunch of native speakers talk that way anyway and it should remove the ambiguity.
Now don't go mixing up "anno" and "ano" in Ticino
The "s" in 'Sechs' is soft like in 'used', whereas in 'Sex' it's a harder "s" like in 'sit'.
What is that one about? What do they mean?
anno/ano? My guess : year/anus.
Yes, you really don't want to ask someone "quanti ani hai?"!
