1. A language whose arcane grammar can drive you crazy.
2. Something of German origin; i.e., beer or cars.
3 A resident of Germany; person of German descent. Typically, a mellow, intelligent thinking creature, invariably polite, living in the area of land commonly known as Germany, a lush, wooded land with the Alps to the south, gentle, rolling hills in the center, and the North Sea to the North.
The typical German is
even-tempered, tolerant, respectful, practical, and somewhat skeptical and pessimistic by nature. German men are far less sexist than American men, and are more prone to marriage. Germans, though, typically have small families.
A German tends to be a lover of nature, well-organized, frugal and efficient. They seldom lose their tempers- if you go to a German bar, people are usually friendly and happy, unlike an American bar, where people start fights.
Germans love fast cars, motorcycles, good beer, taking lots of holidays, and walking in nature. Germany is a great place for the outdoors, and people love hiking, camping and cycling.
Germans are often tastelessly dressed, and
German women often wear atrocious clothes.
German food is OK, if you like pork. German bread, on the other hand, is excellent. It doesn't matter, though, because
German people mostly eat Italian and French food.
Germans make the best engineers, computer scientists, and technicians. They never go anywhere without their "
handies" (cell phones), they're mad about soccer, and they love to have a festival. They take a day off for every holiday, including all-saint's day,
May Day and the assumption of
the Virgin Mary (despite the fact that most Germans don't go to church often). The biggest parties are Karneval and the
Love Parade.
They typical German hates extremes and extremists of all kinds, including neo-nazis, who comprise a hated minority in the country. Most people are moderate in their beliefs. There are lots of political parties in Germany, including the Green Party, who helped turn Germany into the biggest
purveyor of
solar power and electric
windmills.
Germans don't neccesarily dislike any group of people; Germans often visit France, England, the US, Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Mediterranean. Often, though, other nations have prejudices about Germans. Germany is ethnically mixed, though, and lots of Germans marry non-Germans.
1. How do you translate the German word "unwahrscheinlichkeit"?
2. This German
wheat beer-
Franziskaner Weissbier"- is excellent.
3. Look at that cute German
techie guy over there.
