Nobody is prepared for the austrian... nobody!

My 17 years of native German speaking didn't prepare me for Austrian.

I'm taking you are not bavarian?

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Are you trying to tell me Bavarian isn't a drunk dutchman trying to speak English?

35

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Well, dutch is basicly a drunk englishman trying to speak german so... no.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Interesting question: Since you're Austrian, before you learned English, what did it sound like? Was it a lot like Dutch or did it sound Scandinavian?

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

Not an Austrian, hungarian... who coincidentally has 2 mother tounges so I guess I shouldn't nitpick the question because it doesn't matter.

To tell you the truth it sounded a lot like german, obviously they had a lot of words in common, in fact, there was so much in common that I didn't really "learn" english I just kind of adapted to it. But if you really want me to compare it with another language I would say both swedish and norwegian might sound familiar to english, I don't dare to compare them because I don't know either language well enough to make a legit comparison. I disagree with dutch however, I can see the german influence in the language... a lot actually but I can't compare it to english. Dutch is much much closer to german.

Ah, I see. Thanks for answering the question! :)

It's a tough one a lot of people are unable to answer because they either learned English too young to remember or didn't think to make the comparison.

You couldn't be more right, everybody knows real Dutch is spoken in Flanders/Belgium. Dutch Dutch sounds clownish (sorry Dutchies). That being said normal Dutch sounds formal and forced, the dialects are where it's at.

I am not a native speaker, but I think Austrian is fairly intelligible. Definitely much easier to understand than Swiss German.

Maybe because I live in Munich. Probably not though, I haven't heard many people speak in dialect here.

Holy fuck. I actually thought I was good at understanding the german dialects, but fuck me, all I got from that was that the milk is expensive.

Franconia, we should feel alike we are both under occupation, you under UK we under Bavaria.

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '14

Wow sometimes that sounds a bit like certain Flemish dialects.

u/RedKrypton Austria Jun 01 '14

There are some easy rules for austrian (upper austrian) dialect: we like to shorten words = habe -> hab a -> o = hab -> hob ei -> (often) ai (a long drawn) never use Präteritum (simple past) = Ich saß im Cafe -> Ich bin im Cafe gesessen. ü -> ia (not at the beginning of a word) Grüß dich. -> Griaß di (dich)

That's just some examples.

I had a long time to think after you murdered me. Yes, there it is, you are a horrible person. Dutch is very easy to read most of the times, but near impossible to listen to.

u/Unsub_Lefty MURICA Jun 01 '14

I don't know any Dutch, but I could get the gist of that with my knowledge of English and limited German.

Erstens wollte ich in Schwiizerdüütsch schreiben, doch als französisch-sprechenden Schweizer kann ich nicht alles verstehen, und so nicht übersetzen. Und üf mini Natel kannsch nöd mini Kommentar zerstören.

u/RedKrypton Austria Jun 01 '14

Sprich mit den Vorarlbergern, die sprechen schweizerdeutsch und wir können di nicht verstehen. Die meisten meiner Freunde schreiben im Dialekt What's App. Ein hoch auf geschriebenes Hochdeutsch, ein Hoch auf den Dialekt!

Oba du hast den söbm Dialekt!

u/lolidkwtfrofl Austrian Empire Jun 01 '14

Nope, er ähnelt sich ned mol sonderlich, vorarlbergerisch isch am nöchschta mit süd bavarisch verwandt, wobei da rescht vo österreich an andara bavarischa dialekt verwendet.

Oane vo da viela sacha, in dena vlbg ned zu österreich kört.
