Why don't I see it?
What's zucker? (It would be great if you could record yourself saying that and post it in the sound files forum

)

aaah thanks asminha for correcting

sorry, i was not really concentrated, i will correct that..
1. NO, it's not part of the sentence sorry that i was confusing you but you were more clever than me..

2. Zucker = sugar ( ou en francais : sucre)

for the soundfiles... hm why not

but i think i'll do it tomorrow.. as you can see, i am too tired

by the way, what about you curious? you started this topic, maybe you have some examples?

madness · 08-14-2006, 11:59 PM

1.Der Potsdamer Postkutscher putzt den Potsdamer Postkasten.

2.Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach.

3.Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische; frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz.

4.Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid und Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut.

i'll translate into english now, i hope that's enough..

1. The "coachman of the post"(= postkutscher) from potsdam (remark: that's a town next to berlin) cleans the post box of potsdam.

2. When flies fly behind flies, flies fly after flies.remark: i see, all sentences are senseless

3. Fisher's Fritz fishes fresh fish; fresh fish fishes fisher's Fritz.

4. Wedding dress remains wedding dress and red cabbage remains red cabbage.

maybe you'd like to decide which one is the most senseless?

i hope everything is clear in my translations..

.. by the way, the german name of such "tongue twisters " is

Zungenbrecher

( DON'T pronounce the "ch" like " kh"

)

and i found another nice word, i think youalready know it curious?! it's "Eichhörnchen" ( = squirrel) ( and again, don't pronounce the two " ch" s like "kh"

)
have fun in pronouncing it

Curious · 08-15-2006, 12:07 AM

Although i was the first to ask the question, i will answer to you madness ..

There is an arabic dialectian expression, which is : " mharma hamra " . ("h" = 7 )

That means " red hankie "

Try to pronounce it quickly !

@ curious:
O_O You're arab?

@ Madness:
Thanks for the explanations, I'll need to read that again to remember all the words. That's a lotta new vocab for me.

Wow for zucker, that's like it's Arabic equivalent "sukkar"..

hihi thx but i already knew this ( about zucker, sugar, sukkar...)

oh and by the way, i think those words in my sentences are not really important

Curious · 08-15-2006, 12:28 AM

Thanks a lot madness !

it's so nice to learn all that ! Good also for the prononciation, because these tongue twisters must be the most difficult ..

I am arabic, but no longer so with curiosity

Nevertheless, i guess that i have to do a loooot with madness, she looks to be interested by everything
