Very nice overview of our Berlin patois.
As an Italian living in Berlin, my favorite (which makes my Aussie partner roll her eyes) is saying something like “you are invited” when you pay for someone else’s coffee or meal. It’s a literal translation of “du bist eingeladen”.
My partner taught me “I shout you”, but I also have the feeling that’s pretty Aussie or Brit. Any non-native friend understands “I invite you”, but would probably never get “I shout you”.
- gattilorenz 4y ago“I’m treating you” should he a proper translation of “offro io”
- jaclaz 4y agoI always used (maybe wrongly) "it's on me" for "offro io".
- dkdbejwi383 4y ago“My shout” is typically how I would use it - something like “should we split the bill, oder?” “Nah, my shout”
- boffinAudio 4y agoAs an Aussie living in a German-speaking country, this just makes me hard cringe. Aussie vernacular (or even, Brit) simply shouldn't be propagated beyond the pubs. Lade deinen Freunden ein - nicht auf Sie Schreien, oida!
- TulliusCicero 4y ago> My partner taught me “I shout you” Yeah, as an American, I learned this from reading an Aussie web serial. In the states you'd say...uhh, "my treat" or "I'll cover you" maybe?
