everyone in the country hates bavarians so they think they don't need to understand us

why do they hate you? xx

we are rich, have shitty conservative politicians and we are perceived as arrogant also our federal state is prettier than the others.
We have this thing where richer states pay for poorer states, we finance like 2/3 of what berlin (always in debt) does.

you'd think if your helping them in terms of finance they'd be grateful and like you xx

traumatizing but kinda funny

i feel like these days the dialects have been watered down by internet lingo
there are some random region-specific words but otherwise everyone can understand one another

but my accent is completely incomprehensible in english
i'd have better luck conversing in sign language

i also like this one. so right way to ask what time it is in finnish is "paljonko kello on?" (literal translation = how much is clock)
but you might as well say "mitäpä se tiuku reppii?" (literal translation = what does that jingle bell tears). depends where you from it's 50/50 change you know what that means. i also think there's lot of different variatons of that too, but that's how you most likely will hear it being said in my area

ahh so one person could say one thing and the other person might think they mean something completely different haha xx

at this rate i think geordies might have to speak in sign language as well. I asked for bacon to be added to my cheese burger in the hard rock and they thought i was asking for baked cheese haha. We went to a chip shop called jack the chipper, we asked for some batter to put on our chips and they looked at us and were like what? we ended up seeing the scrap bits of batter from the fish haha xx

"kehdata (tehdä jotain)" in the east means "i have no energy (to do something)
but everywhere else it means "it's too shameful (to do something)"

There sure is a difference, not that's it's not understandable tho, but all the big islands and jylland each got there own touch i would say! Except bornholmere, they sure are hard to understand sometimes.
