JimmiGerman Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Americanish? Americanish...? Hmm... maybe, but as it's God's own country I would more understand it as God's own language. ... On the other hand you might be right with "Americanish" (Amerikanisch): hausfrau, blitzkrieg, beergarden, hinterland, prosit, rucksack, Frankfurter, Hamburger, concertmaster, bratwurst, and dummkopf is Americanish vocabulary in different American locations. See here: http://maxkade.iupui.edu/nameword/apend-d.html (a list of German words in American English). And who wouldn't know what sauerkraut is... a word you might already learn in the kindergarten!

If there was any European country I'd expect Americans to be able to pick out from a map it'd be the UK. It's not even like a lazy graphics person accidentally put it in Ireland while slapping it together really quick. Quote

Guest Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 Which English? The one spoken by Hugh Grant or the one spoken by Sean Bean or is it the one spoken by Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister? Welcome! Quote

The one spoken by Hugh Grant or the one spoken by Sean Bean or is it the one spoken by Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister? Welcome! Or the Americanish by JimmiGerman - easy to understand, simple, surely likeable, and without any semantic grandeur. Edited November 16, 2014 by JimmiGerman Quote
Guest Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 Or the Americanish by JimmiGerman - easy to understand, simple, surely likeable, and without any semantic grandeur. Somehow, Americanish just doesn't sound right spoken with a German accent. Quote
JimmiGerman Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Somehow, Americanish just doesn't sound right spoken with a German accent. Just a question of getting used to... Edited November 17, 2014 by JimmiGerman Quote
