No, that is wrong. The sentence 'Ich bin ein Berliner' is totally correct. JFK said it in the right way - in meaning and more or less in pronunciation.
In order to guard against misunderstandings in german the word 'Berliner' can be understood as a donut. But in other regions and not in Berlin. Here the right word is 'Krapfen'.
The citizens of Berlin get JFKs point totally. In the next scene you can hear them laugh, because JFK says thank you to the translator for translating the sentence twice
ok mein Freund...I guess our American culture is obsessed with political correct speech and I am caught up in it. Glad you Germans can joke around so easy.... If I had some Berliner Weisse it would help!
(das gibts doch nicht....so geht es nicht!) Kennedy loved Berlin and Germany ....he really cared about a divided Europe. So this video really is shrechlich. Whoever made this video can eat shit and go live in Putin's Russia where they can be happy! You are the lowest of the low.
lol. u still dont get it. im everything but a communist. You still dont get that this thing is just a pastery, but probably youre just to old for that....
@simcityfaan - and JFK was just a US president....who happened to guarantee the freedom of West Berlin with the US Army behind it. And American blood behind that guarantee!
YOU don't get it: some things you don't make fun of: Jesus Christ....your mother.....and JFK at the Berlin Wall !!!
You might want to talk with someone who lived in West Berlin and had the fear of the Russians in the back of their mind every day.

@jg300gman you need to be germany to understand the joke. Otherwise you dont get it. Its nothing worse on it. A Berliner is a kind of food, somthing like a Donut. This video makes fun of the word "Berliner" and not about J.F.K.
Sir- A donut suprimposed on the head of JFK is a little bit irreverant and uncaring toward us Americans and Berliners ....remember this speech was backed up with US Army/ Deutscher Wehrmacht guns and blood! You just don't joke about such things....I'm sorry but that is basic courtesy and ethics....to say nothing of respect for foriegn dignitaries. Have a heart....show me that you have religion as you say. I see only cold, insulting "humor".
As for all the fools who still think that a Berliner is only a word for a German doughnut, you are all completely incorrect. A Berliner is a resident of the city of Berlin, just as although a Frankfurter is a type of sausage, people from the city of Frankfurt are still called by the same name. I suppose you think the Danish, as well are pastries, and several million Europeans would be quite angry to hear that.
No, the fool is still you. Gawd, I am sick and tired of wannabe experts like you. "Ich bin ein Berliner" is absolutely correct and most Germans don't even know that there are idiots like you who think he said it wrong.
It's an urban legend that Kennedy chose the wrong words. In fact, Kennedy's statement is both grammatically correct and perfectly idiomatic, and would not be misunderstood in context by German people.
you know in germany,some food is called after the cities they´re developed in...frankfurter-is a sausage,berliner is doughnut,hamburger is a sandwich with meatball....so on...but this is some disrespectfull to the great president.but i guess it is still a joke.
while he did kind of say he was a donut. He did say "I am a Berliner". This all comes because a local donut shop has a donut called in translation a "Berliner". My mom comes from Berlin when i tried to make fun of this she corrected me.
Totaler Quatsch, Pfannkuchen sind auch heute noch in Berlin, was anderswo 'Berliner' sind. Richtig wäre gewesen: "Ich bin Berliner" statt "Isch binn ayn Bäeliena!"
Er hätte besser sowas sagen sollen wie "Ick binn zwor keen Balina, aba det jefällt mir janz juut, wa!"
no, it really does!! "Ich bin Berliner" is "I am a citizen of Berlin".......but when you say "Ich bin Ein Berliner" it means "I am a DONUT"...As everyone knows "Berliner" is a Donut they really have in Berlin
c'mon lighten up.. it is still p funny.. in fact it is kinda of an honour of JFK's legacy that ppl are talking abt those words.. even if the famous "folk" story turned out to be quite wrong - ich bin ein berliner is actually correct - it still provided some laughs! I am a jelly donut!
Use your brains. If JFK would have made a mistake and said it wrong and embarrassed himself, what would the reaction of the crowd have been? Silence? maybe, Laughter? also possible. Cheer and Applause? very unlikely.
I am a Berliner and "ich bin ein Berliner" you idiots. The donut others called "berliner" did the Berliner call "Pfannkuchen". The "Wiener" also don't call the sausage we in Berlin call a "Wiener" a Wiener. I don't know what they call it, maybe "Frankfurter" and I am sure that this is not what the Frankfurter call it.
Das ist nicht witzig! Ein Berliner ist entweder so nen Kuchenteil oder ein Einwohner Berlins! Es ist ja nicht so, dass nur Kuchen in Berlin rumlatschen. -.-
Danish pastry. California rolls. Baked Alaska. Big Wieners. "Berliner" versus "ein (talking) Berliner" with a Boston accent - demented & funny. Thanks.
this man was one of the most important men of the post-war period! which failure takes the liberty to pull this and admired man respected world-wide so in ridiculous simply only levelless
Eines Tages wird eine Zeit kommen, wo man folgenden Satz sagen kann: One day there will be an era where one can say the following sentence: Heute ist der stolzeste Spruch, Today, the proudest Post ist, ich bin ein Kraut(fresser).
First of all, dumbass, it was JFK. And secondly, dumbass, german words have multiple meanings. Amerikaner is also a kind of donut, and people say that "Ich bin Amerikaner" or "Ich bin ein Amerikaner."
well, this is probably funny to germans, because a berliner is also a common dessert, very much like a doughnut. it's like he would say i am a bratwurst or i am sauerkraut :)
believe it or not: in germany we have newspapers and even TV! most germans can read and write and a few of us know a little about political and historical facts from outside our country...
so now guess: WHO do i think might think about bombing "ye olde europe"?
The only people I hate more than the ones that make extremly bad jokes, are the ones that make extremly bad jokes about things you're not supposed to joke about.
People in Berlin still call themselves "Berliners," and this still is considered one of the most powerful speeches ever given. The whole "jelly doughnut" angle has been blown way out of proportion.
