Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) Off like Germans ;-) .. :-D

It was a long time ago just at the beginning of the topic.
By this time i did not have the same ava. I customised this new one with a picture from the game Ryzom.

For reminding you : For Seraph and Fenwulf only
Except Karten i don't understand anything in german but i had a lot of fun reading your secret conversations in french.

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

My native language is Swiss German. And yours is French?

I think so: <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Lynx, hot and spicy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Hot, spicy and poisoned. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

Barta

Every meal i take is hot and spice.

I´ll prefer Chili con carne with extra pepperoni and chili´s.

a hot guy needs hot food ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Is swiss german really different from german ?
I have swiss friends who live around Geneve and Montreux and their french is exactely the same than the french which is talked in France.
Yes my native language is french and it is also my favourite language.
It is much richer than english.

Barta

Thats not so easy to answer. It´s a 50/50 joker !

If you want a serios answer of things from me, you have to tell it before, otherwise i can´t secure that the answer is what you want to hear ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

[color:"orange"] Is swiss german really different from german ? [/color]
German is quite heterogenous - not only are there a number of dialects (differing regional pronounciations - as you have in French also, n'est-ce pas?), but from Frisian in the north to Alemannic in the south, actually has related but different languages.

OH, and Lynx is not [color:"orange"]hot, spicy and poisoned[/color], but poisonous <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Lynx,
You can be both if you want to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Like Glance wrote, there are quite different dialects in German. And when I speak mine, people from Germany won't understand that much. Actually, I don't even understand all of the Swiss German dialects completely... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

And then I'm as much German as a French person is Belgian... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I don't know, how big the differences are in french. I like french, too. But I just don't use it often enough and so I forgot a lot. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

A foreigner would most certainly have quite problems - at least I think so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) if he/she tries to speak "high German" in a rural area in Bavaria ... to me (my mother is from Bavaria), their dialect is the most difficult of all German dialects - at least in rural areas where people speak nothing but this dialect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

The Bavarians are very capable (it seems to me) of putting things into one word. The question "Gemma ?" actually means "are we going to go ?" and is put into one word. There once was a movie about rebuilding Germany / Bavaria shortly after World War 2 : The movie had the title "Rama dama" - means "Räumen tun wir" ("räumen" with the prefix "eg" or "auf" actually means some sort of cleaning (up), and dama is a short form of tun wir - we do).

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
That would be another candidate for the international, interglobal language than. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Describing everything in one word would be handy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

But must it be Bavarian? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I'd prefer the dialect that's spoken in Basel... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Bavarian... Baselian <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ... Larian ...
pick one.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Oh, nobody here knows the "Pfälzer Dialect". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
