      In Italian, butterfly, bowtie and the kind of pasta are all called “farfalla”. Which has come first, though?

          yeah, Uniper is a major stakeholder in the Oskarshamn and Forsmark power plants, and it was absorbed into the German state in 2022.

    A schmetterling is the approximate amount of shit one spackles into the bowl of the toilet after a particularly fibrous day. It’s not so much that it clogs the plumbing or anything, but it certainly leaves a schmetterling of evidence behind for the next man to attempt to knock loose with his stream.

    A very beautiful word.

    Words that start with S are pronounced like Z. R is not a the end, so it is Rrrr, not R. Therefore, the real word is ZCHMETTERRRRRLING.

      🤨 you will probably want to ask your tutor for your money back.

      “Shmatterling” is the closest sounding english approximation.

      Basically yes but SCH is like SH. Also ER is often a single vowel somewhere close to U in “but”.

    Ok but Schmetterling doesn’t even sound worse. Just picture it in a not angry German accent

      Well, “schmettern” (verb) literally means to smash or to belt something. “Schmetterling” comes from the old Slavic “Schmetten”, meaning cream (the one you skim off milk), but it sounds more like it comes from “schmettern”, which is a word still in use.

      The “schmett” makes me think of the mess that’s left if you squish one.

        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

    TOOL was the first group of people who proved to me that innocuous german words can be made to sound like a thundering political speech filled with evil intent when in reality it’s just a cake (cookie?) recipe with no eggs.

      Die eier von Satan literally means Satan’s eggs. It’s a recipe for round cookies with hash. And no eggs.
