my girlfriends foreign exchange student (from Varel) told us a joke,
“Nag, nag.”
“Who’s there?”
“A duck”
“…”

it took us a week to finally get it.

Before I leave on vacation I wanna wish all you German knuckleheads a Merry Christmas and a moderately successful
New Year.

Yeah, reminds me of my time in the USA, where everything is bigger and better then anywhere in the world. What would the Germans do without you explaining us to ourselves - seriously.

In fact germans dont have any sense of humor so it is absolutely impossible for us to take a post like this NOT serious.
Sad but true.
I apologize.

Dog and cat are taking a walk together. Cat goes: meeaow. Dog goes: Cock-a-doodle-doo. Cat’s wondering why. Dog goes: You gotta command foreign language these days.

Every country has it’s own version of animal sound. My wife also makes jokes about the German “kee ker ee kee” - in Indonesia it sounds like “kukuruyuk”

@Leonie; Stefan is correct. Ami horses say “neh”, which is sounded like the German “neben” and is most correctly delivered in a quivering voice, like neh-eh-eh-eh. In this regard, it is actually very like vihiihii.

The sound is also exactly the same as the word “nay”, which pared with “aye” means “no”. Thus my joke above about Catherine II “the Great” of Russia, who it was rumored, enjoyed the company of horses.

Horses. The German verb sounds about the same as the vihiihii … “wiehern”.
