\"Berlinerisch<\/a><\/p>\n

by Claire Webster<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Eierpampe \u2013 mixture of sand or mud with water that kids make when they’re playing (lit. “egg goop”)<\/h1>\n

E also stands for:<\/p>\n

eenmal<\/strong> (einmal<\/em>) \u2013 once.
Einjemachte, das<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 money in reserves, from Eingemachte<\/em> meaning preserves or conserves.
einfeif\u2019n<\/strong> – to eat, short for hinein pfeifen<\/em>, colloquial for “sucking in” (food – or even drugs).
etepetete<\/strong> – prim and proper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Illustrated A-Z of Berlinerisch<\/strong>\u00a0is a guide to the particular brand of German spoken in the country’s capital. One of our native Berliner helper elves describes the dialect as<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

a direct language with Herz und Schnauze\u00a0(heart and snout). A Berliner always can make fun of others and him\/herself, says everything as if he or she is a little drunk, and shortens words – because time is money, and after a hard working day you don’t want to spend a lot of energy speaking “properly”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you want to learn more about the German spoken by the rest of the country, check out our illustrated Daily Deutsch Doodles<\/a> and follow the hashtag #dailydeutsch<\/a> on Twitter.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
