since twitter's burning gonna try bringing my posts about language stuff and losing my shit over star wars and such here - hi!
imagining how Deutsche Leute would react to sentences like
bitte, können Sie mich מסביר sein, wie אזוי kann ich אפשר ins Reisezentrum gehen היינט ביינאכט?
bitte, können Sie mich masber sein, wie asoj kann ich efscher ins Reisezentrum gehen haant banacht?
my partner (swabian) could only understand בײַנאַכט, even if using litvish pronunciation
yeah that makes sense, I was deliberately using mostly Semitic words since they're the ones that would make me most incomprehensible lol
altho i guess it's only like half really. אזוי is just super yiddish sounding lol
apparently היינט is a thing in Bavarian https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/heint#Bavarian
yeah, was wondering if they'd recognize it due to that, but nope, not something you get that far west I guess
