[AntiNukeLlama]

And I am proud, I am a jelly doughnut

[NostalgicChannel]

You´re a stupid. Kennedy says it well.

[Skorge135]

He says i am a Berlin

[rawrsararawr1017]

[cheap3shotproduction]

Let them come to Berlin!

[killerxdeagles]

he really called himself a jelly donut

[99Einsteinium]

@ all: "ein Berliner" is a Pun, it means both. But in this context everyone of course understood the correct meaning. And I am 100% sure as I am german.

[Spankydaham924]

@99Einsteinium what makes "ein Berliner" a jelly doughnut? and why is it so different from just sying Ich bin Berliner? I'm learning deutsch and just wanted to know.

[TehIrishItalian]

@Spankydaham924 If he had missed out the 'ein' he would have got it right, however, ein in this sentence makes no sense and a Berliner, is a type of German Donut lol

[TehIrishItalian]

@99Einsteinium WRONG! he would have been right if he had missed out the 'ein' however because he did, it means donut lol

[MrSovjetunion]

@TehIrishItalian

No, it's not important saying "Ich bin ein Berliner" or "ich bin Berliner"

I am from Wiesmoor, so I say : "Ich bin Wiesmoorer/ Ich bin ein Wiesmoorer"

It's stupidity of Americans thinking he talked about Jelly Doughnut

[juanisimo12345]

Kennedy was wrong because "ein Berliner" is a donut. The right form is:

"Ich bin Berliner" but he said "Ich bin ein Berliner" so, he said that he was a donut.

[PatrioticEagle50]

@juanisimo12345 No. Ein berliner is not a doughnut. It is just what people in some parts of germany call a jelly doughnut. Berliners do not call those dougnuts berliners. What he said was correct. You only use Ich bin berliner if you are really from berlin. You say Ich bin ein berliner if you are speaking in a metaphoracle sense.

[mintyfreshh2010]

Actually how Kennedy said it was right though most of Deutchland call their jelly donuts Berliners, the people of Berlin call their jelly donuts bizmarks. So kennedy really did said I am a citizen of berlin and I feel your pain not I am a jelly donut and what Kennedy said really touched the people of Berlin.

[EastWindRain]

I am just learning German from Canada. I am pretty sure one does NOT need to add the word ein which means a, before you describe what you are. I think Kennedy could have just said Ich bin Berliner, without the ein.

Kennedy was killed by the Rothschilds who run world banking and world media, for he opposed the Zionists and their banking cartel. Kennedy created real US money in the form of silver certificates, which was direct competition to the fake FED Federal Reserve Notes. Down with Zionism!!

[tripleheshy]

@EastWindRain Without proof you have as much credibility as Charlie Sheen and Rosie O'Donnell. Has "Zionism" become the new euphemism for Anti Semite??

[AlexSaysHi2013]

them Germans love their doughnuts...and so do Americans! mostly because we are Germans...mostly

[Antonmoegelchen]

Ich bin ein Berliner is right

But I'm from Hamburg and I'm a hamburger

[dmmeyer2006]

"Ich bin ein hamburger" ? :D

[Phantom9252]

"I AM A JELLY DOUGHNUT!!!!"

*croud goes wild*

[c0nr0x]

@Phantom9252 you shouldn't criticize his speech when you can't spell "crowd" And that was an urban legend.

[Phantom9252]

i know, but it's still as funny as hell

[ITILII]

President Kennedy, a man of great courage, vision and strength.. committed to freedom, justice and peace, not just for America, but all the world. Which of course is why the dark forces needed to murder him

[chopersword9]

ih bin berliner is the real way to say he is a berlin citizen

[scalerfan15]

i think thats why he said he appriciated his translator

[AlexSaysHi2013]

@chopersword9 sorry your approximately 47 years late

[chopersword9]

ich bin ein berliner means: an apricot filled pastry!!! lol

[piquanting]

Think of the difference between saying "I am a Canadian" and "I am Canadian". It would be un-idiomatic for a visiting foreign leader to say "I am Canadian", since this would imply they actually are from here. But it would sound quite natural to say "I am a Canadian".

[shisha86]

@piquanting no, that´s wrong. "I am Berliner" is just grammatically wrong in German.

[piquanting]

@shisha86 German doesn't use indefinite articles as much as English

[MushiePuppet17]

@piquanting Actually, it's more like saying "I am a Danish" versus "I am Danish."

[amoleman]

No, Kennedy was right; you are wrong.

[Kate12344]

bahahaha. so excellent.

[urgonnawishuweredead]

ich bin ein berliner

'

i am a jelly donut

[n00bcatcher]

I hate to be pedantic, but Berliner is a noun and has a capital letter in german :)

[872463051]

i hate to be pedantic, but do you really hate to be pedantic? because if you really hated it, you could probably have held of on the German grammar lesson.

(im sorry, I couldn't resist the contradiction between hating to be pedantic and being quite blatantly so when it wasn't completely necessary. )

[military0600]

president kennedy is one of my favorite presidents second to regan

[dumbylives4evr]
