@rudolftheduck I think it is the other way around. Danish was strongly influenced by the German language (but isn't related to the German language, Danish is a skandinavian language), so for Germans it is easier to learn Danish because Danish has a lot of loanwords from German but not the other way around. But in the end it depends on the (wo)man who will learn wich language easier.
Before insulting ppl you should learn to read up correctly. Germanic =/= German. And German belongs to the western Germanic branch just by the way. Danish belongs to the skandinavian branch of germanic family. But that doesnt make it the same language. English also belongs to the Germanic family and has nearly nothing in common with "German" besides the loanwords from latin (a romanic language).
wobei "ein leben lang habe ich dort schon gewohnt" eigentlich "wij" also "wir" ist.. aber ist ja egal! ist echt gut geworden. vor allem zum üben, weil ich jetzt auch an der uni nederlands lerne und ich das echt geil finde :D
Ik huppel en spartel, vermetel en dartel Maar nooit heb ik mij aan de mensen vertoond Helder en luid klinkt mijn lied door de bossen Eeuwenlang hebben wij daar al gewoond Gummibeer Springend red ik mij weer keer op keer Daarom heet ik ook een gummibeer Ik ben een gummibeer Toveren en springen, dat doe ik heel rap Het geheim van mijn kracht zit in gummibessensap In vrijheid te leven is mijn hele streven Ik vecht voor het goede, want dat is mijn doel
But I thought, "Plattdeutsch" is rather close to English, not Dutch? My mother comes from Duisburg and sometimes changes to Platt, like "mak te door tu". Is that also close to Dutch? (I don't speak that, just understand a bit...) ;-)
Yes, some sounds like english, some are written like in english and some do both! :D But there are some different types of "Plattdeutsch". But when you read a text in "Plattdeutsch" and the same in Dutch you'll see how compareable they are, or better is when you listen to sombody who is reading the text! But i have to say, that i also learned Dutch at school! :D
(quetsch) Also wenn man es etymologisch korrekt 1:1 übertragen will, dann hieße es "mein heiles Streben" ("heil" hier im Sinne von "ganz", vgl. engl. "whole", schwed. "hel" etc.)
We may be able to guess some of the words, but following a whole conversation, or read a newspaper article, for that instance, is totally diffrent from understanding single words.
related, how well do swedish understand norwegian? (really want to know, no stupid back.quetioning here)
Swedes understand norwegian very well, both written and spoken...There are always some odd dialects and such and it can be hard to hear words in cases, but the languages are very alike
The nordic language hardest for us to understand is Icelandic
Stimmt so nicht ganz.. Deutsche haben ein großes globales Verstehen, was die niederländische Orthographie und Lautung anbelangt! Ich weiß nicht, wie es bei dir ist, aber man kann Niederländisch bequem ohne Vokenntnisse als Deutscher lernen.
It actually depends a lot on the dialects - on the one hand the dialect which you grew up with as German, on the other hand the dialect in which the Dutch person speaks.
I grew up with Middle/Rhine Franconian dialect, and Dutch is mainly based on low Franconian dialect. So I can understand >75% of written Dutch. Opposite to that, spoken Dutch is very difficult to follow. If it's Low Saxon Dutch or even Frisian, I don't understand much, maybe 20% of the wortds. (cont)
(cont) Also if it's heavy slang, I've got even more problems (an example of that would be that rap song "Watskebeurt" which also9 has a funny Norsk interpretation "Vaske bur" ;), there I can understand almost nothing)
But if it's Holland-based Dutch, or even better, Belgian Dutch (Flemish), and clearly spoken, I can understand almost everything! (Example: Kabouterdans). (cont)
(cont) I think German vs Dutch is very similar to Swedish vs Norwegian. BTW I can't really understand nspoken Swedish, but I get ~50% of Swedish words if it's written ;) because Swedish has some words which came from Old Low German ... men jag kan inte prata Svensk. But then again, I can understand almost no Icelandic, there are only very very few words which are similar to German...
I can understand everything, because here at our location we can also speak "Plattdeutsch" (dunno how to translate) ist nearly the same as dutch. Dutch is a PART of a german language called "Friesisch".
hahahahaha

How well do germans understand dutch?
I study german(am swedish btw) and can easily see the similiarity between some words
For example, can a german read a dutch newspaper and understand it?
GokoJuji 2 years ago
I am german, and you´re right, some words are similar.
but still its preety hard to read and even harder to understand!
I can read some, but not all of it!
