Lets eat Grandma

Aww, that’s sweet. The Germans are a kind and open hearted people.

Emphasis on different parts and context.

Pronunciation, context and most importantly most of these sentences wouldn’t be used like that. (Except for “die spinnen”, i say that probably daily)

Good question! Sometimes it’s stress but sometimes just context

Context. In the first two examples both sentences sound exactly the same, but it has never been a problem.

In some examples I‘d maybe expect stronger emphasis on the noun. ‚Sucht‘ (short u) vs ‚sucht‘ (long u) from the last example are pronounced very differently.

It’s just simply nouns that are capitalized. It’s not crazy at all, and I learned that in Duolingo years ago in the first few courses.

Du

I thought they were the same tune with the traditional lyrics for both countries listed.
