18 Phrases Only Austrians Would Know

So can you say that? Ruf mal ums Daun abhok zau. Hi guys, David Hoffman here from davidsbeenhere.com. I'm back here with Nelly and Mike from Making It Happen Vlog and Nelly's Life. And we just made a video about Austrian vocabulary, Austrian words. But we also wanted to make another video about 18 things only Austrians can understand. Germans don't understand these phrases. Alright, let's get started. So Gehör auf basically means stop what you're doing. Stop what you're saying. Stop what you're thinking. But it could also be in a positive way. If somebody gives you a compliment and you say, I'll stop it. You know like, I gehör auf. So, I gehör auf. So I muss noch garf again has many meanings. It could mean, you know, if you're leaving a place and you still have to take care of something. It could mean, just wait, I still have to do something. It could also mean you want to end a conversation with somebody. I muss noch garf, whatever. So you believe in the conversation. Yeah, that's like kind of, oh, it's late. I have to do something. Danke, ich schau nur. So ich schau nur is kind of like, I'm not being too aggressive. I'm not going into this too much. I'm just looking. I'm just covering kind of a thing. Or if you're going shopping and somebody asks you, you know, can I help you? Mostly they'll say, ich schau nur. Yeah, it's just, thank you. I'm just, you know, I need my privacy. It basically means leave me alone. Yeah. So that basically is the equivalent of I'll talk to you later. See you later. So, yeah, let's talk later. That's kind of the genesis of it. Yeah, let's have a talk later. It's a little long for see you later. So is in it or nice in it basically is, how to explain it? How should we explain it? It's if you, if somebody tells you something, he's not convinced of what, you're not convinced of what he's saying, then you'd basically say is in it. It's like, yeah, nice. Yeah. Whatever. Nice is basically nice. But in that combination, it kind of means, yeah, whatever. You know? Yeah. It's hard. When you talk about the guy, you say, oh, er ist in it. That means like, I'm not into him. Oh, he's a nice guy, but I'm not into him. So it has like multiple meanings. So means basically, it's like whatever. If you think so, it's kind of a, again, passive-aggressive, like everything in the Austrian language. It's when somebody tells you he wants to do something. He doesn't want to go to work, for example. You say like, whatever. Yeah. If you think it's right, then go ahead. I don't care. Okay. Damavoss. Damavoss is the equivalent of in America saying, let's grab coffee, without having the actual intention to go grab coffee. It's, yeah, we'll meet up sometime. Let's do something sometime. Also, damavoss could mean, let's get started with work. That's like when you meet up at school or at work, you know, and you're chit-chatting, and then someone says, okay, damavoss. Let's get going. It's like, let's go. Ekloa. Ekloa is kind of like, of course, you know, obviously, okay. Yeah. Or, I just remembered, ekloa. You know, it's kind of. Also means of course, but in a different way. Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to explain. Some are like, of course that was going to happen. Yeah, ekloa. Post me. Post me is a very aggressive way of saying, I hope you understood what I just said. You better watch out. You better remember what I just said, kind of way. Post me. So, watch out when your mom tells you, post me. Yeah. Because that means you're in trouble. Post me. Joglei. Basically means, never going to do that. Joglei is, just now, just now, just give me a second. Nage. Nage means kind of, this is the second time recording this and I'm battling again to figure out the best way to explain it. Nage means kind of like, oh no, come on. Nage. Or if it's a pity. If something happened and you're like, nage. And it's like, oh no, it's a shame. Damn it. Nage. I think they're very similar. It's very similar. Age. Or age. It's kind of like, oh stop it. You get a compliment and you're like, ah, you stop it. Age. Well, thank you. So, this actually if you translate it into English precisely would mean, now, then, afterwards, now, sometime, but it means never. Yeah, you basically say it when you're up to something and you want to get started straight away. After you talk to that person, you'd say, jetzt dann gleich noch einmal. So, when are you going to do it? Jetzt dann noch einmal. Never. Never going to happen. Actually, never, yeah. Nanonanet. Nanonanet means kind of like, yeah, of course, obviously. So, if somebody says something very obvious, it's like, nanonanet. Yeah, of course. I have an obvious. Kind of like that. Mr. Smarty McSmarty Pants. So, this basically means, you know, let's see if it ever happens. Charme moi. If somebody says like, ooh, I'm going to be rich. Charme moi. Let's wait and see. Or if you are talking to your mom and you tell your mom you want to, I don't know, become an artist, she will probably say, ja, charme moi. It's like, you know, it's not really happening. It's like, yeah, right. Austrians are very negative. Not good. Kind of that grumpy attitude. Pasteur. Pasteur means, okay, sure. Yeah. Something like that. Or it can also be kind of passive aggressive again. Like, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, right. That's a good translation. Yeah. If you're in a fight, you say pasteur. Yeah. And then you walk out. Yoé. Yeah. Yoé. It's many ways to say it. But basically, you know you're doing something wrong. Somebody tells you that you're doing something wrong. They say, you know, state it. But you're like, yoé. I'm still going to do it. I knew it. I agree, but I'm still going to do it. So, that basically means, it's a very aggressive way of saying, you know, are we done? So, you'd be waiting at the cash register and she's walking really slow. And after they'll say like, samas? You know, could you be any slower? Hello. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's just, are we done? Are we done? So, that was it. That's it. Yeah. If you guys are watching from Austria and you know any other things only Austrians would understand, please let us know in the comments down below.
