mfer nationalised the comments section just like they did the swedish nuclear power plants
Ok but Schmetterling doesn’t even sound worse. Just picture it in a not angry German accent
But only the “TT” sound harsh, which is the same as butterfly, which I’d argue sounds harsher overall.
Good point. They even have the same amount of number of syllables.
Also, Butterfly sounds too much like Butt-fly
The “schmett” makes me think of the mess that’s left if you squish one.
EDIT: Curious about the etymology of the German word, and the “schmett” part means “cream,” which is similar to the “butter” part we use in English. The closest word an English speaker might recognize is probably the Yiddish “schmir.”
Zangendeutsch: Butterfliege
What is zangendeutsch? Google isn’t giving me much in the way of English answers
It’s basically an insider from a German meme community here on lemmy. The community is called ich_iel (a translation of me_irl) and people use bad literal translations from English as a joke and call it Zangendeutsch. Butterfliege is a literal translation of butterfly but not the real translation.
