Language geek - Take 1

I've wanted to post more dialect for some time and last night I had a little chat about accents with [livejournal.com profile] kiviraat on Twitter and thought I could post little audio files of me talking in Italian and dialect, just to show the difference. And while I was at it, I recorded the same sentence in English and German as well, just because. I chose the sentence "Today I went to the baker's and bought two rolls" because [livejournal.com profile] killer_ameise once said something about it being a sentence that reveals a lot about your origins. Sorry, I don't remember why, was it because there are a lot of different ways to say bread/rolls, depending on where you come from?

Anyway, here they are. The volume is quite low, I hope you can hear something. If not, let me know and I'll record them again.


Italiano: "Oggi sono andata dal panettiere e ho comprato due panini."

Brianzöo: "Incöo sunt andada dal prestinée a tö dü michett."

English: "Today I went to the baker's and bought two rolls."

Deutsch: "Heute bin ich zum Bäcker gegangen und hab zwei Schrippen gekauft."


Is it just me or does my voice sound different when I speak in different languages? o_O

Ah, well, after living in Berlin it's quite impossible not to say "Schrippe". XD

Haha, I guess. xD Even though I still find it pretty impossible to say it. Or "Pfannkuchen". Or "Bulette". It's a Berliner and a Frikadelle!! xD

That's because you already used the words before moving to Berlin. ;) I've always thought of Buletten as Buletten, never as Frikadellen. ;)

But... but it's just wrong!! D:
Btw, if you ever want Germans to get in an argument, just ask them how they call the end part of a loaf of bread. Or the core of an apple. Then lean back and be entertained! xD
