So sprechen Muttersprachler Deutsch🔥| Trainiere dein Hörverstehen! - Echtes Deutsch (26)

Welcome to this new video. Today together with Laura and me. Laura has prepared something again today. I think it's the words again that we collect in our ominous WhatsApp group. More on that in a moment. Yes, and I would say we start right away, right? Yes, that's how we do it. Maybe first a quick note that this is a conversation among native speakers. So that means we speak very authentically at our normal speed, just like we speak to each other privately. That means for you this is a great opportunity to test your listening comprehension. We also know that it can be a bit difficult at the beginning, so feel free to activate the subtitles. Then it might be a little easier. And the second hint would be that there is a PDF. Exactly right. Yes, we have again collected all the words and sentences in a PDF, which you can download for free. You just have to give us your email address. It's best to click on the link below the video. Then you can enter your email address and then we'll just send you the PDF. And now you can get started. Now you can get started. Then I'll explain to you and you what we're up to today. For all those who don't know yet, Teresa and I always collect ideas and words when we prepare new videos for you. And we have a WhatsApp group, so just the two of us, where we collect words that could be relevant to you. And a lot, a lot, a lot of words have come together. And we're going to do it again today, so I'll give you one of these words or expressions. Name it and you explain what it means, how to use it and so on. I'll give my best. Are you ready? I'm ready. Then let's go. And the first one I think is beautiful. That's a nice expression and it's called, What? Okay. Isn't it called the anger line? No, no, the hat line. Really? You can also say the ignition line. What is the anger line? Well, maybe it is. I mean, that basically means that you're very angry. So, okay, wait a minute. We'll start from the beginning. Can you say that again? The hat line. My hat line burst. My hat line burst. Okay. That actually means that you're flipped out. You're so angry. You suddenly got angry. It was a situation and you got angry, angry, angry. And at some point there was a moment when you thought, Up to here and no further. I can't take it anymore. My collar bursts, they say. Or my hat line bursts. And I always thought anger line. Because it fits so well. But you're right, it fits. It has something to do with anger. Yes, you, me and tongue twisters. You are like that. But everyone always knew what I meant. Or you can also say, I have a short ignition line. So there are days when you stand up with the wrong foot. So you're kind of like that all day. Not in a good mood. And then you can say, you, Laura, don't talk to me today. I have such a short ignition line today. And then you already know, uh-oh. Ignition line, that comes from this classic bomb that you have in your head. There is this to ignite. And then you explode at some point. And when you say you have a short ignition line, that means, It only takes very little for me to explode today. That means, we already have three tongue twisters in one. I have a short ignition line. I explode the collar. I stand up with the wrong foot. And the hat line. Dear people, it's called hat line. I learned something again today. Great. Look, it was worth it right away. Very good. Okay, our next expression would be on zack. Someone is on zack. I immediately think of a service in a restaurant. Because I think that's the situation where I use it the most. That means when someone is very attentive. For example in a restaurant, when you are often asked, Is everything okay? Do you need anything else? Can I get you anything else? And you notice that the person is actually under a lot of stress right now. Because the restaurant is totally full. But she is totally on zack. So there's a lot going on, but she manages everything perfectly. And is also friendly. Then you say, the person is on zack. Exactly. Of course, not only in the restaurant. But in general you can transfer it to everything. But I also thought of something like that first. A good example. Someone is on zack. Okay, then the next one is Lichterloh brennen. Something is burning. Lichterloh. Yes, actually means that it is completely and strongly burning. So you don't mean a candle that is burning, but unfortunately also a house, for example. When a house, Lichterloh, is burning, means the whole house is burning. There are huge flames and smoke and smoke and so on. Then you can say, the house is burning, Lichterloh. Or forests are burning, Lichterloh. I actually got that from the police report, or the fire department report, where they reported a fire. Something is burning, Lichterloh. Okay. Then we have the expression auf den Mund gefallen sein. Someone fell on their mouth or maybe didn't fall on their mouth. I think that's how you use it more often. He didn't fall on his mouth, means that this person is rhetorically very strong, I would say. So he can express himself well and is also very honest, but can pack it well, so to speak. So, yes, I would really say, so rhetorically just very strong. Isn't that also a person who is very punchy? Yes, that's right. So punchy, you can maybe also briefly explain, is someone who in every situation immediately has the right answer. Especially on such provocative or just difficult statements, that you, for example, if a joke is made about you and then you can immediately somehow talk against it, then you are punchy. Yes, that's right. You can counter well, you could also say. That's another expression that fits here. You counter, so you talk against it. Then you have, or how do you say, then you didn't fall on your mouth, if you can express yourself well. Exactly. Okay, what I can't talk about right now. But I think that's really such a thing, that I'm not punchy enough. So I often think to myself, where I would have liked to have answered something, but then I got so angry in that situation, maybe that I thought too long. I think a lot of people are like that, that you then, especially after such a situation, then, I don't know, when you take a shower, you think to yourself, oh, I should have answered that, I'm stupid. Yes, exactly. Right. Feel free to tell us, if you would say, you are punchy, or do you feel like us, that maybe sometimes you think a little too long? Yes. Okay, then, ah, we have another expression, and that is, something is a barrel without a bottom. Oh. Mhm. A barrel without a bottom. Is actually, that it's a big, something is a big problem, and you don't even know, where to start. Right? Yes. Then you think, wow, that's a barrel without a bottom. Can you maybe briefly explain, what a barrel is? So what is meant by that figuratively? A barrel, so there is wine, stored in barrels, or also beer, there are also beer barrels. Do you know where it comes from? Did you research it? No, but I think, it actually comes from the, so you can imagine the picture quite well, if you have a barrel, in which there is a lot of beer or wine, and this barrel has no bottom, then I can tip it more and more, so to speak, and pour it in, but it just runs through. Yes. There is nothing left, but I invest and invest, but in the end, nothing happens. Mhm. In which situation did you use that last? Wow, that's a very good question. A barrel without a bottom, I don't know, if I used it like that recently, I would rather say, something is shoreless, or also hopeless, that actually has the same meaning, if you notice, you can't get any further, and there is somehow no solution, for the problem. Yes, that's right. Then it is shoreless, hopeless, or a barrel without a bottom. A barrel without a bottom. Very good. Okay, then we have, make a clean table. If you want to make a clean table then you lead a very honest conversation. And it is very often a conversation, in which the other person is criticized. So if you have a problem with a person and say, we have to talk, then you make a clean table. So then you just address everything, that bothers you somehow, and in the best case, you can solve this situation somehow, in a positive way. But yes, you can just clean up, so to speak. So make a clean table. Rein means clean, so to speak. So you clean up the table, make it clean. Yes, so visually. Exactly, so with a person, just say everything, what is on your mind. Lead an explanatory conversation. Yes, exactly. Good. Then we have, I also find that very nice, the word drumming together. If you say, for example, I have to drum all my friends together. What is drumming, and what is drumming together? Okay, so drumming, you have drumming, and make drum, drum, drum. That's drumming. And drumming together is just calling everyone together, so gathering everyone. That's probably where it comes from, right? When you drum, then it's a sound, like a signal, like, ah, we should come. Exactly, so I'm thinking of maybe parents who drum their children together. Hey, there's dinner or something. Exactly, that's what it means. So just call everyone, that they come together. Yes, probably because something important is. So, as you say, either eating together or you want to discuss something important with your friends or something. Then you all drum together. Yes. Very good. Then we have the expression because ever. So, for example, something is nicer than ever or better or worse than ever. What does that mean? So if I say now something is nicer than ever, it means than ever, so than ever. So now it's as nice as it's ever been. It's nicer than ever. Teresa, you are nicer than ever today. Thank you. Nicer than ever before. Thank you. I think so too, right? Today I took a shower, maybe that's... A little fun on the edge. Is today shower day again? Yes, Sunday, right? Oh, right. I completely forgot. Okay. Nicer than ever. Now it's clear. With all adjectives you can actually connect it. It's nicer than ever, better than ever. But you can also say negative. Something is... Worse than ever. Yes. Exactly. Very good. Okay, and then we come to the last expression, and that is a noble drop. What is a noble drop? A very delicate wine, I would say, right? Do you actually only say that with wine? I would say so. Maybe it also applies to champagne and such things. Yes, exactly. But just for something very, very tasty and qualitative, also very high quality and very noble. Maybe also expensive in this sense. Exactly. What is noble and what is a drop? I think a drop is clear, like a water drop. Nice. And noble means elegant, so to speak. So chic. Yes, as we have already said, with a good quality and simply nothing that is normal, but simply a little better. Better than ever, one would almost say. Yes, exactly. That's a noble drop. Yes, if you bring someone something, for example a wine or something, and he looks at the bottle and says, wow, that's a very noble drop. An exclusive, exquisite drink. Yes, or if you also present such a wine bottle for eating. Today we have a very noble drop for you. Yes. It has never happened to me personally, but it could be. Could theoretically be. Yes. That's right. Yes, Teresa, you did very well again. Yes, totally. Very well done. If you liked the video, then please let us know. Feel free to subscribe, leave a thumbs up.
