Learn German - German Color Vocabulary

[dodolastone]

who knows doitsu in aph?

[felicitycoopsfoshizz]

Isn't Purple supposed to be purpur.?

[19Mellon73]

@felicitycoopsfoshizz

I'm no expert in colours (I'm a guy lol) but isn't purpur (you're right it exists in German)

a more reddish purple.

But the colour we saw could also be discribed as violett.

So "lila" is a more general term for all shades of purple.

I hope i didn't confuse you any more ;-)

[felicitycoopsfoshizz]

@19Mellon73 Maybe so... It was the one I learned in class (:

[Tiswone]

DONT ROLLING THE RRR, iam from Germany rolling the "rrr" makes only the Turkey, Russia, or Spain peoples in German xD

[19Mellon73]

@Tiswone

In the Germany I live in, we have a "r" rolled similar to French or Spanish, like in this clip.

What are you talking about?

[Chlamydialight]

@Tiswone

Soooo, what you're saying is is that germans don't

roll the rr that much? If so cool, I was finding it a little hard to

roll the R like the guy that made the video. Weird too because

I speak spanish and can roll the R well. :P

[ThisAndThat4All]

@Chlamydialight We germans roll the "r" in a different way than you guys from spain (except those with a bavarian dialect).

If you want to find out how to roll the "r" in Hochdeutsch check out my channel.

Im a german native speaker and I created a video especially for that! Cheers ;-)

[BobderCreeper]

[AnimeBaBe3331]

I just decided to re learn to rub it in my stepsisters faces I had forgot the little I learned for them cuz they dont talk to me

[erasmusso]

I learned that purple in german is "violett", not "lila"...

[Haevenn]

@erasmusso probably more than one way to say purple just like in English and even in Polish.

[ByabyaChannel]

@seygra20 That r sound isnt tongue rolling its uvula rolling

[SpecialAgentPopo]

[FelkCraft]

@SpecialAgentPopo because the u is pronounced like a w :P

[CrazyLazySnazzyJazzy]

Orange is hard for me to pronounce :P

[FelkCraft]

@CrazyLazySnazzyJazzy its uncommon pronounced here. He said "oronge" but you can also say "orandsch" so you dont need the palate-n that is used in "ng"

[CrazyLazySnazzyJazzy]

@FelkCraft Thanks :)

[plutogirllovekj]

Please explain to me the phonetic rule concerning the German "R" sometimes it sounds like the French "R" and sometimes it sounds more like the Spanish/Castilian "R". Is it arbitrary, or is there a rule as to when to pronounce the "R" one way or the other!?!

[DerEine0101]

@plutogirllovekj

"R" at the end and in the middle of a word: It's pronounced like the british "R"

"R" at the biginning of a word: pronounced in the throat (but don't roll it too much)

hope I helped you with that.

Greeting from Germany : )

[plutogirllovekj]

@DerEine0101 Thank you for the information!! But doesn't it also sound French sometimes? For instance, when pronouncing the word "orange", it sounds very French to me!! Greetings from Massachusetts, U.S.A!

[DerEine0101]

@plutogirllovekj

"Orange" is french. We kinda borrowed it. You can take the french "R" aswell as the German one.

[Heyco87]

@DerEine0101 not always! Sometimes an "R" in the middle of a word is also pronounced in the throat...like "karotte" or "Malaria"

but you're right when saying it sounds like a british "R" in words like "Farbe" or "parken"

I think if it's followed by a vowel, you pronounce it in the throat...apart from that, you're right. ;)

[C3P0meetsData]

After learning what "black" is in German. Arnold Schwarzenegger...I mean think about it "Schwarz?"..."Negger?" ...just saying....

[BlackAnimeSoul]

@C3P0meetsData you forgot, noone in germany says negger, although you forgot the E in SchwarzEnegger. just imagine the egger like some kind of crazy egg. xD and this name is muuuuuch older than the "bad word"

[C3P0meetsData]

@BlackAnimeSoul xD. You've gotta admit that's a good way to remember it.

[BlackAnimeSoul]

@C3P0meetsData well yeah, of course it is xD haha xD yeah it's still a stupid name ^-^

[tiamat1296]

[AfricanLionsHunter]

A warning far all who want to learn German:

German is three times harder than English.

Spanish is somewhere in the middle.

[jneino]

im american and part german but the music messed me up when i was thinkin

[TSM9356]

cut the music its distracting

cheers for the video

[mpalmier74]

well done!

[seygra20]

thats a lot of tongue roling with the rrr's

[DJgirly99]

@seygra20

the 'r' is not usually like in this vid

he wants to make shure that everybody can understand it

[maicongphuc]

@seygra20 you're wrong, the letter " r " in German is pronounced totally different from that in English and people don't have to use their tongues to make it right! they use their throats!

[gecrowned]

@seygra20 That's wrong. You do it not with the tip of your tongue, you do it with your throat. If you go to Switzerland or Austria there the people role the r like that.

[HesseJamez]

@seygra20

It's not typicall german to roll the R - only austrians + bavarians do so

[deimuader]

@HesseJamez

but in bavaria the "r" gets rolled with the front part of the tongue...in this vid it´s in the throat...

this r isn´t typical in germany

[milleee94]

@seygra20 You dont need to rolling the 'r', thats actually equal..

[MsDjessa]

@seygra20 I´m not sure but i think people fron northern Germany do that more, do correct me if i´m mistaken.

[FelkCraft]

@MsDjessa hmm... no I think people from Bavaria and Austria (southern) roll the R more, but still not that much. The guy is a German and speaks clearly, but not really common.

[huntbug1]

@seygra20 but not in real german
