in Berlin, they actually don't really say "Berliner" but "Pfannkuchen" which - however - in other areas in Germany is a pancake. Besides, why would you critic a rather less likely secondary meaning of a word if the actual meaning is quite clear?
-
@glitteraddict44 lol but i think they knew what he meant
-
@lepakko69 right on bro ;) couldnt have said it better myself
-
Technically in German, you leave out the "ein" when saying your nationality.
-
Thank you Germans for correcting those stupid immature Brits about their doughnut horseshit.

@lepakko69 I can't help, but laugh. Sorry, I don't mean to. But, JFK definitely was one of the greatest president that the US has ever had. Blame it on Eddie Izzard, when he mentioned this bit part, on Dressed to Kill. Super lolz!

@CI5AgentSweeps Well to end this back then and especally in berlin you called the doughnut eierkucken.
-
@CI5AgentSweeps I'd be willing to bet you don't recall featuring "The Professionals" video montage on your channel either. LOL

@drumass666 I have no recollection whatsoever of making my original comment...very strange...

@CI5AgentSweeps It's like saying "I am a New Yorker" does not necessarily mean "I am a soft leather ladies' sport coat."



that whole legend of kennedy making a fool of himself by saying "i am a jelly filled doghnut" is bullshit. "ich bin ein berliner" is as correct as "ich bin berliner". i'm so tired of this fucking discussion. kennedy was a great guy & i love this speech. ich bin ein berliner will always be the most popular sentence a politician has ever said in germany.

I understand that a berliner IS a doughnut from Berlin BUT it CAN also mean a citizen of Berlin. So Kennedy IS correct in his grammer but it can be understood in the wrong way! See what I mean?
