Yeah, nice CRACKED copypasta.

 

 

 

How do you pronounce #7? :-s

 

Bock-fy-fen-guh-zisht

 

 

 

I think. :?

 

back-fei-fen-ge-schikt

 

 

 

How do you pronounce that? :shock:

 

 

 

Do you know any tifers that is fluent in the German language? :roll:

 

 

 

Yes.

 

 

 

back-fi-fen-ge-si-scht.

 

 

 

It's 'backfeifengesicht', not 'backfiefengesicht'. >.< So it's 'back-feye-fen-ge-shikt'.

Old.

I would REALLY like #9 to be an english word, things like that happen to me and everyone all the time and yet we cannot describe it unless we take up a full sentence. The others are pretty dang cool too. I would contribute more but I'm afraid I am not fluent in any language other than English and I've just started learning Spanish.

It's 'backfeifengesicht', not 'backfiefengesicht'. >.< So it's 'back-feye-fen-ge-shikt'.

 

 

 

:roll:

 

 

 

Since someone has bumped this, I thought I'd take the oppurtunity to respond to EarthySun.

 

 

 

Do you know how to read, speak and write German ? I did 5 years in high-school.

 

 

 

'backfeifengesicht' is in German right ? Number one rule - when two vowels are together, the second one is the operative in pronounciation. I is "eye" or "aye". You are over complicating by saying "feye". Most simple phonetic breakdown is fi.

 

 

 

Or rather f? and in some cases faI.

 

 

 

So - *back* - *fi*- *fen*. We agree upto this point ?

 

 

 

Next part you were incorrect in : ge-shikt

 

 

 

It is ge-scht. There are no real hard "K"s in German. Closest would be k?. Soft kho.

 

try pronouncing Schweppes. It's the sch.

 

 

 

End result : bæk-faI-f[short "e]-g?-s?[short I]-sht.

It's 'backfeifengesicht', not 'backfiefengesicht'. >.< So it's 'back-feye-fen-ge-shikt'.

The 'end result' part kind of confused me, but you're right. When you say 'fi' I thought that you were pronouncing it as 'fi'. Also, with the "ge-shikt" part, I was just trying to find a way to write down how to pronounce the "ch" in German. It's like a mix between a "k" sound and a "sh" sound, I think. (I haven't heard a lot of German, so let me know.)

The English lexicon has over 960,000 official words in it ( worlds record ), and is the most complex language in the world to become literate in ( English, also holds the record as the most grammatically complex language ).

 

 

 

Try figuring out this proper sentence: "The child the parents had had had had had no breakfast."

 

 

 

There is way too many adjectives, adverbs, and adjuncts as it is, adding more is pointless.

 

 

 

Another gem: "Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity"

"The child of the parents had had no breakfast" would be much more easily recognizable. O_o I'm pretty sure that your example of it wasn't correct.

It's 'backfeifengesicht', not 'backfiefengesicht'. >.< So it's 'back-feye-fen-ge-shikt'.

Yeah. No problems. You got it mostly right. :D :thumbup:

 

 

 

And I misquoted. I only did 4 years. Sorry.
