Because the eu makes an oy sound in German. And the tsch is another sound. There's a proper grammatical term for those. Not gonna bother to Google it though. Ya' wanna' get picky, there's all sorts of equally non-sense spellings/pronunciations in American English.  >'Kat |

Ha!... umm.. yeah.. I knew that.
That's what I said.. it was German.
My example was to show the letters we know in English make different sounds in the German language.
Do you see that now?
Thanks.
Have a nice day.

Thankfully, they pronounce "beer" the same as we do, regardless of creative spelling... HeHeHe...Doggoned if I didn't have the same trouble in Maine trying to order a "lobstah"... LOL!Gotta luv it...

Oh Leo, I've heard Texan. It's not just another country, sometimes it's another language!  Sorry, gy6, I wasn't being critical of your post. Just trying to point out that every language has its oddnesses to others' ears. Heck, our own language has so many varieties it's sometimes hard to figure out what somebody's saying. PBS had a show several years ago. They recorded folks from different parts of the States saying something like "I'll wait here for the bus to take me downtown." Then they played the recording in other areas. Some, you just couldn't understand for anything. He said it's why they usually have MidWesterners do audio instructions and stuff, 'cause it's the most neutral and understandable accent to everyone. spandi, Churchill was WAY before my time. And I'm not sure I ever heard a recording of him say Nazi. Nauzee? Gnat-see? Krauts? ;D Btb Leo, Mom says her dad never did fully master English. He spoke Germglish, rather like what you posted. With was always mit, de for the, all that sort of thing. >'Kat, ready für Bier und Brats, ja! |

"And get it in pink." LOVE IT!!!!! Guess I'm a daughter of der Führer, seeing how I like pink, too. D8 Who'da thunk? JR, while you tell Arkie bedtime stories, I tell tales mein Grossfader told. Like Fraulein Bo-Peepen, und Cinderella Hassenpfeffer. Here's a shorty from it--Der Foxer und der Grapes Ein foxer ben mitout fooden und obercomen mit hunger. Gecrossen ein farmen yarden der foxer iss finden ein tallisch trelliser mit grapes gehangen. Der grapes ben ripen mit purplers und fullen mit juicen. Iss der foxer outgaben mit mouthen wateren? Iss der foxer jumpen mit reachen der grapes? Nein! Iss foxers liken grapes? Nein! Foxers ben wanten geesers und duckers. >'Kat |
