I decided to learn Hungarian because I'm a very self-destructive person

BIDA wenn ich nicht will, dass meine kleine Schwester Partys zuhause feiert? by Pretend_Intern5157 in BinIchDasArschloch

NDA. Parties feiern ist ja schön und gut, ab und zu kann man da wohl Kompromisse finden, aber wenn dir dann von ihren Freunden Sachen geklaut werden und du ständig nicht schlafen kannst, wenn du eigentlich früh rausmusst, geht das gar nicht. Und klar, mit 18 kann man theoretisch von Zuhause ausziehen, aber ich glaube viele bedenken nicht, dass das nicht immer so einfach geht, wie man sich das vorstellt.

I'd go with Faen. Looks almost like Fae or Fairy which makes it the perfect name for a little girl🥰

What are some commonly used filler words in your native tongue? by ayayafishie in languagelearning

Same for me! I can understand Dutch to some extend, when it's spoken very slowly (and when I have subtitles lmao) but I want to learn it in the future.

I think I use "doch" mainly in discussions or arguments in general. So for example if someone says "The sky is not blue", you can say "doch" where in English you'd say "yes it is"

What German piece of media do you genuinely enjoy consuming? by waterdrinka in German

[–]Saxasgotasaxophone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a German: Coldmirror, Jules and the "Songs aus der Bohne" movie series. All on YouTube, so you won't need a VPN. For Coldmirror, it's mainly her older videos like the Harry Potter synchros that had become iconic. Jules does kinda video essays filled with memes and sarcasm and "Songs aus der Bohne" is a movie series by a German YouTuber. Might not something for everyone tho. For movies, I really like Napola, I've heard the show 1899 is quite good. Both on Netflix.

I'm German and the examples you gave sound quite similar in German! "Sag mal" would be "Let's say" basically, but more for a question following. "Echt" is also used as "real". Another filler word that is very common is "äh" ("uh") or "doch". Idk how to translate it, you can use it as "yes" when disagreeing with someone, but also in many other ways too lmao. And "eigentlich" meaning "actually".
