Avery: Hello.

Liz: Tut mir Leid. Ich wählte die falsche Nummer.

Avery: Das ist interessant. Weil es Liz Zitrone auf der Anruferkennzeichnung sagt.

Liz: Hey giiiirrrrl.

I think she meant "Rufnummernanzeige" ANYWAY: Elisabeth Banks speaks German? What more can I want?!

@eduardrueb Well it's actually just Anrufer-Kennzeichnung, wie Caller-ID

Avery's accent sounds Swiss German, especially the first sentence.

@asdfasdsfsa It's been previously established that Liz is working with knowledge of German from high school. I'm not sure about the other lady. Could be the same

@Durin01: Kennzeichnung rather means tag or designation, it’s something that’s used to mark something. Kennung describes the characteristic and unique feature or signal for the unambiguous identification of something, like a barcode, a radio signal etc.

The difference isn’t that obvious but there is a difference of meaning.

A “Kennzeichnung” is used to mark something, a “Kennung” is a unique code for the identification of something.

@eduardrueb: A literal translation of caller identification/tag. She says Anruf-Erkennzeichnung(call ertag) instead of the correct word Anrufer-Kennzeichnung (caller tag). Additionally the syllable stress is totally wrong. The proper translation is Anruferkennung, or better: Anrufer-Kennung—caller id. German is tricky sometimes. If you hyphenate the word in the wrong place you get Anruf-Erkennung (call recognition). That’s one reason why capital letters for German nouns make sense.
