People often ask Google many things about the German language, Germans, and Americans, and Google often refers them to us here at Nothing For Ungood.

Here are the answers to search queries that landed people here, but weren’t answered in posts at query time:

Can germans learn the present perfect correctly?

Yes, Germans can learn this, but only after years and years of immersion. The English language is extremely complicated with its grammatical time indications. Germans won’t be able to learn this in the class room, as the differences are extremely subtle and difficult to explain.

Why has Germany so funny word?

I don’t understand the query. Please ask again more precisely.

“ich bin nicht gemeint. ich mag dich einfach nicht!!!” translate

Not to be rude, but you have just been insulted by someone who can’t spell in their own language.

difference between das and dass

Das is an article (the), dass conjoins two clauses (that). (Google, I don’t want to give out grammar lessons, please refer these somewhere else.)

Please note, this query came from Canada. Yes, most Germans eat with fork and knife, though in Bavaria they just use finger and knife.

do Germans work on Saturdays?

No. Germans wash their car on Saturday.

No.

is it a good idea to learn german and spanish at the same time?

No. You will kind of mix up German and Spanish for a while, because your brain kind of stores all the foreign languages together. It will get better with time, but it’s not a good idea to learn German in the first place.

He’s off his rocker.

who can ich deutsch lehrnen?

You would get better results if you tried asking in a language you can spell. I am not sure if you are asking whom you can teach German, where you can learn German, or some strange combination of both?

why are american toilets so full of water?

Cause they are big.

why do germans eat sandwiches for breakfast?

Really? Do you think someone has devoted the time to creating a web page just to explain why a culture would eat sandwiches for breakfast? I don’t know, maybe it’s because it is totally delicious to eat some fresh baked rolls with scrumptious deli cuts on them. Just enjoy and stop worrying about the reason why.

wann benutzt man don’t have und wann doesn’t have#

Der Unterschied ist gleich wie im Falle von “do” und “does”, also ob plural (don’t have) oder nicht (doesn’t have). (Google, once again, I am not a teacher, please do not send me any more grammar questions.)

english words germans find hard to pronounce

Germans can’t say the word “months”.

what do “german men” like in “american women”

German men know that all German women have problems with Kreislaufstörung and assume that American women don’t and therefore have headaches less often. Oh, and their eyes.

No. German is being replaced with English and Turkish. Germans don’t make enough babies for a come back.

Banane-Kirsch-Saft or Bak KiBa for short. Sounds delicious.

A lot like chicken, I would guess.

why i don’t like the german

I am not sure which one you are asking about, but it’s probably because you want to play Counterstrike, but he always just wants to play Mensch Ärger Dich Nicht.

“americans don’t do well in europe”

The 6 words you typed essentially include “do” twice and “in” once, two of the few keywords that Google ignores. So, I’m not sure what action you are looking for Americans being bad at in Europe, but since your search query came from America, is it safe to assume that you meant to search for “Americans don’t do well at googling in Europe”? I am pretty sure you are exactly 1 key word away from finding what you are looking for.

world socker championship

You obviously know absolutley nothing about soccer. You are in the right place.

what do germans think of americans

Germans think Americans are fat, lazy, and superficial. Also, they think we aren’t civilized because we have the death penalty. Other than those 4 points, opinions vary.

germany blogs get a job

Sorry, I’m not sure whether you are searching for advice on finding employment in Germany, or whether you are tell me to quit writing.

how do germans write numbers

Mostly the same as we do with two notable exceptions. Germans make their ones in a goofy teepee shape, which makes it hard to distinguish it from a seven, so they draw a horizontal line through the base of their seven.

do you need to pay to go into oktoberfest

No, but you need to pay to enjoy the Oktoberfest. And show up early.

german word ach so

Basically a verbal cue that a light bulb when on inside of a German’s head. Like “ok, I got it now” or “gotcha”.

when germans say ‘until’, what do they mean?

This is a great question, actually, and I hope you come back for the answer. When Germans say “until” and you are confused, it is because they probably mean “by”. Prepositions are really tough things in languages because even though they have one translation in one context, they often mean something different in another context. The German word bis is most directly translated as “until”, but in terms of a deadline, it should be translated as “by”. Every German will get this wrong until they die. They will always say “until” instead of “by” in this case, when referring to when they will do something, or when something is due.

where can i buy colaweizen

The easy answer is just don’t, cause it’s gross. The second most easy answer is anywhere that sells cola and weizen.

Trust me, it’s not as good as you think.

mein mann will kein deutsch lernen

Good for him. There are millions of useful things he could be doing, plus you married him because he is exotic. If he learns German you will just start thinking he is dumb because he can’t say things correctly. Let him be.

übersetzung “potty mouth”

There isn’t really a good translation, but it is a term used by kids or around kids to refer to someone using inappropriate languange. Dreckiges Mundwerk or Schandmaul kind of go in right the direction, but go way too far. Literally translated it would be Klomund

why do germans do everything wrong?

Germans do everything wrong, because they do things differently than we do. And since we are always right, that leaves only one logical conclusion.

borussia monchengladbach distance to munich

Well, one is a soccer team and one is a city, but let’s say the soccer team has a home game, then it’s 398 miles (or 641 km if you are a communist) from the Kasey Keller’s old stomping grounds to the home of the Kaiser.

check yes or no deutsche übersetzung

Great George Straight song, by the way. Kreuze an: Ja, Nein, Vielleicht. German kids always get the option of maybe, whereas American kids learn to shoot from the hip straightaway.

dead body shootings

Yeah, sorry. This is what happens when I write in English like the Germans speak it. Everything goes wrong. I am sure you will find what you are looking for elsewhere, though. Happy searching, sicko.

flush the toilet paper in germany

I have heard rumors that in Brazil they don’t flush the toilet paper, and instead collect in a waste basket that has to be emptied every day. But in Germany, feel free to flush it away.

On a related note, scientific research has shown that Germans fold their toilet paper before wiping and Americans ball it up. Try googling that!

Yes. But you’ll want to bring non-perishables along with you because the food is not safe for Americans to eat.

oktoberfest stuttgart 2008

Your Schwabian friend lied to you, THERE IS NO OKTOBERFEST IN STUTTGART!

oktoberfest weekends too crowded

If you think there is such a thing as “too crowded”, don’t go to Oktoberfest, you are going to have a bad time.

subway food strategy

I don’t know whether you mean the fast food chain or the actual mass transit system. If you mean the chain, my strategy is to get the cold-cut-trio which is the cheapest sandwich, then top it off with every single side item for free, then season it with vinegar and oil and get one of those white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. But your mileage may vary.

As for the mass transit system, I usually stake out a bakery at one of the stops where you have to change trains and go grab a buttered pretzel or two. Five minutes between trains is generally plenty of time to make the purchase and be back ready to stand in people’s way as they try to exit the U-Bahn to make sure you get first pick of the available seats to enjoy your breakfast. I think that’s a strategy that will work for anyone.

what are the chances to get a job in germany without speaking deutsch

You have taken the first step in learning how to say German in German, so I think you are on the right track, but what are the chances that a website will switch languages mid sentence just like your question? Think before you type.

what to germans think of the usa?

Germans think the USA used to be a great place to go on vacation to feel wide open spaces, see awesome national parks, buy cheap clothing, meet friendly people, and cruise down Route 66 for a sense of freedom in the sunshine. Now they think it could be a great time to go to the USA because the strong Euro makes everything so cheap, but they know that our government is making traveling to USA an extreme pain for foreigners, where everyone without a US passport is treated like a likely terrorist, so they go to Greece instead.

So I guess we kinda let the terrorist win there. Oops.

why is durch pronounced the way it is

I will not dignify this query with a response.

you can know when somebody speaks german even if you don’t understand german

Yeah, you can tell, because when they want to emphasize something they take their right arm about waist high, make a fist and sort pump their forearm to and fro while muttering something like power or Gas geben.

bar debit card germany

The German version of a debit card is called the EC card. But you probably wouldn’t use it at a bar. Just grab some cash.

Nervensäge.

Did you think you would get a better answer by adding a second question mark?

which europeans are worst at learning english

The Italians.

unshaved armpits european female

This is kind of an old stereotype that isn’t very true anymore. While certain eco-girls like to sport the au-natural pits, most european women shave their armpits now. Even a lot of young German guys shave their pits as well, and not just the swimmers.

million übersetzung deutsch amerikanisch

We use million just like everyone else. Where it gets tricky is a thousand million, which we Americans call a billion, whereas the rest of the world reserves the world billion for a million million. Just another example of the entire rest of the world getting it wrong.

do german street signs have english on them

Oh boy. You are probably one of those people that see the Ausfahrt sign and think it’s hilarious.

No. German advertisements are in English, but their street signs are mostly pictures with a few German words thrown in there.

“glasgow kiss” übersetzung

It means a head butt. Glasgow is not a very nice place. And the people from Glasgow are not very nice people.

frauen stehpinkeln

Does that even work? I’m sorry, I can offer no information on this subject.

grune welle traffic

I have no idea what you are looking for, so I will simply tell you everything that comes to mind about the green wave. The green wave doesn’t exist as frequently in America as it does in Germany, probably because our streets are laid out in a grid, whereas German towns usually have main streets, making it more predictable where people will drive, and on these bigger streets you can set up the timing of the traffic lights so that if you go the speed limit and don’t turn, you won’t run into any red lights. It’s awesome, and I wish we had that in America.

In one town I lived in in Germany, they had signs that told you how fast to go in order to catch the next traffic light, and if you followed their suggestions you saved a ton on gas and frustration by not having to stop and go at traffic lights on the main street. I wish more towns around Germany and the US would implement this as its a super way to save gas.

how much do americans know about foreign countries

Nothing.

lernen sie british aussprache

Go to your local Irish pub and strike up a conversation with the British people that will inevitably be there. Also, be aware that there a tons of different British accents, so it’s going to be tough to try to sound generically British. Avoid making contact with any Scottish, since even native English speakers don’t understand the Scots. People from Northern Ireland, Southern England, or Wales should be good to learn from though.

reasons to learn german funny

Wow, I feel like I am being put on the spot, you want me to tell you why to learn German and be funny at the same time. No. I will not be your monkey.

root beer germany stores a&w

Alright, this is something you need to learn to get over. You obviously live in Germany but want the stuff you know from America. Stop it. You will never enjoy your time in Germany if you constantly try to make a place into something it’s not. Root beer is awesome, but so are tons of German things you could be enjoying in its place. Drink some Spezi and enjoy all the interesting stuff you have around you.

AHHHHHHH Stuttgart does not have an Oktoberfest! And don’t you dare go buy Lederhosen.

strange germans

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for, but this will suffice:

We don’t do this, so we don’t have a word for it.kommunikation mit amerikanernIt’s not too tough, just try to lighten it up a little with small talk and a joke here or there. We get a little annoyed when you get down to business right away.waitress changed the amount of the tip on credit card receiptI am sorry to hear that.welche lebensmittel vermissen amerikaner?

Peanut butter is probably the big one. You can get crappy peanut butter at a very high price in Germany. Runner-up would have to be EZ-Cheeze. Germany has a definite shortage of aerosol canned cheese options.

what americans think about europe

We think Europeans are socialists who take 6 weeks of vacation and only work 35 hours a week and have to wait months for a doctor appointment because of socialized medicine. We think your stuff is small, that you probably have body odor and don’t shave your armpits. We think you probably won’t want to admit it, but you are jealous of Americans and would love to emigrate here if you could, which is proven by the fact that you listen to our music, watch our tv, go to our movies, eat at our restaurants, and know more about our politics than we do.

Oh wait, you asked what Americans think about Europe, not Europeans. We think Europe has old stuff like castles and famous art, and that it is a cool place to go on vacation because you can ride on a train.

what germans are doing to conserve energy

Walking, riding their bike, not having air conditioning or at least keeping the room temperature warm in the summer and cool in the winter (instead of the opposite like we do), using public transportation, charging tons of tax on gas. Unplugging electronics when not in use to stop leakage power in standby mode. Same stuff they have been doing for years.

why do germans like hasselhoff

Why wouldn’t they?

“keine pluralform” englisch

No plural form.

adjektivendungen im nominative und akkusativ ohne artikel

Yeah, my point exactly. Like all things German, the German language is too complicated.

american average footsteps per day

I think in the movie Super Size Me, they said the average American walks like one fifth of a mile a day, which is about 1,000 ft. Let’s say the average footstep moves you 2 ft, then you get something like 500 footsteps a day.

That can’t be right. Maybe someone else can answer that one.

americans didn´t invented fireworks or democracy

I know, I know. Everyone is telling me that.

americans do know nothing about germany

Correct. But we do know nothing about a lot of other places, too.

do germans eat corn

Yes.

döner kebab+america

I haven’t ever seen a Döner in America, but I have heard they exist in New England. On a side note, Döners in the UK or Ireland are not nearly as good as Döners in Germany. Something about food when its prepared north of the English Channel makes it automatically mediocre at best. It’s weird. Unless it’s Indian.

ein schöneres wort für schuppen

Hmmm.. how about Kopfhautflocken. No wait, that sounds even worse.

german position of nicht

Pretty much anywhere in the sentence. Go crazy with it.

german you don’t learn in schools

Yeah, you can use both.

That’s not a very nice thing to say. ick hos-a dick

how to spell american in feminine tense german

US-Amerikanerin

how to tell if german likes you

They will tell you so. If they don’t like you, they will also tell you so. Since you don’t know, they haven’t told you either way, which means they are indifferent to you.

how to tell if you are german

If you think that having more than one prawn means you have shrimps, or if you thought it made sense that this page is listed under the Informations category.

That doesn’t narrow it down much.

You want to go the Black Forest for this one to fulfill all of our stereotypes. (Munich is not in the Black Forest.)

Nice, eh?

Try it out, it’s going to be tough. A bit of a warning here, Germans often love understatement, so whatever you are trying to do may be really, really tough.

I ask myself the same question.
