That’s fun, reminds me of high school Shakespeare performances
It’s exactly Shakespeare
Heh, “Shield Toads” :)
It’s kind of funny how extremely similar English and German are, but you notice it only when you neither natively speak. Because of that doesn’t the video even off to me sound.
(And yes, I’m doing it on purpose. Why not?)
Can we just appreciate “breakfasted”? Why doesn’t English have that?
It should be “I broke fast”, not “I breakfasted”, there’s already a verb in there but people have forgotten, TBH “To have break fast” is quite questionable grammar. It’s different in German, “Frühstück” means “early piece”, an adjective-noun compound which then can be fed through the usual verbification rules.
Haha, I am a native German speaker, and I had a hard time following them without looking at the subtitles. But then, grammar is a fickle removed in all languages.
No matter how bad their English is, nobody would ever speak like that in Germany.
The video isn’t trying to imitate a German speaker with poor English; it’s simply German syntax with English vocabulary.
