bbudde Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hello Trevor, I just wanted to explain, dass es hier völlig Wurst ist, ob Du Wurst oder Würstchen sagst, wenn Du eine Wurst möchtest. Sorry I confused you . Cheers 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old meaty ones, soggy ones full of breadcrumbs, offal tubes, pork, beef, venison, tofu, bland, spicy, or any permutation and combination thereof?

Steve Coombs Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 2 hours ago, bbudde said: Hello, as a german I can say, that you really can't define that in a this or that way. The ending -chen is usually used for smaller things ( Haus/ Häuschen; Fahrrad/ Fahrrädchen), but can also be used to express minimisations ( Schatz/Schätzchen; Blume/Blümchen). Sometimes for ironic purposes ( e.g. for a big villa: Schicke Hütte/schickes Häuschen). Also pejoratively ( Du bist so ein armes Würstchen!). And now for the Wurst itself: One Bratwust is 100gr, when you buy one here. Below that they are usually called Würstchen ( c.a. 50-60 gr. quite apart from the lenghts or girth) I would say. Above that 100 gr it's called a Wurst here Again quite apart, if it is a one 100 gr Bratwurst or 1kg Salami, which has to be cut. That's the rule here. An execption is a trademarks, special names etc. like Nürberger Rostbratwürstchen, maybe Halbmeter Würstchen ( which is Wurst then). And last but not least colloquially at a Barbeque "schmeiß ich noch ein paar Würstchen auf'n Grill", which are a 100gr Bratwurst or a much smaller but longer 100 gr. Bratwurstschnecken So you can use both words anyway and I would know what you mean. Cheers Tacking a -chen suffix on to every noun you can think of may come across as horribly twee but at least you know it's das something-or-other and not der or die. A survival skill for learners of German! In my current neck of the woods, -le does the job too. Ditto adding -je or -tje to Dutch nouns to make them all het something-or-other and not de. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Lordy, lordy. We've had sausages and rods. Now it's time to get the "bangers" out eh? I thought @Bobs_Buckles had a monopoly on that particular hobby? 🤭 (But thanks for the German tip, Steve. I've always thought that there had to be some logic behind why it is das Mädchen and not die Mädchen!) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not had another bloke this interested in my sausage since that time I wandered drunk into a soho nightclub. For enquiring minds, it was Morrissons The Best Thick Pork Sausage. For dinner, that is. Edited December 5, 2018 by Matt_ It may have been an imaginary comedy situation, but I should still get my homophones correct. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words with a suffix -chen in singular is "das" and in plural "die". So both is correct. Cheers, but I'm too tired now for german grammatics tonight. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't quote on your sausages Matt as I never heard about your meal ( which I have googled). Hope you had fun with it and I have had fun with refreshing my german and english grammatic terms and words to explain something right.

Steve Coombs Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I enjoyed yet another Feuerwurst on the way home today. Definitely more-ish. It's my employer's Christmas do tomorrow. Festive catering for about 5000 people (not everybody attends!), and the formal sit-down nosh is served in the canteens. Sausages, burgers, crepes, nachos, and other delights with calories visibly hopping up and down on the surface are served in the food courts outside. Soft drinks, beer, wine, cocktails, and Glühwein too. Let's hope the weather behaves. Oh, how I will suffer. I shall make amends by getting my Nimrod out of the stash with a view to a build over my Christmas break. I have a mind to build one of the aircraft I saw at RAF St Mawgan while holidaying at Trewan Hall in 1976. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 By under control he means that in a non-modelling food fashion, this thread is available for viewing by anyone on this space borne rock with tinternet access. (Therapy and calorie reduction advice available at additional cost + postage) BTW, the large white space in the Martians post is available for rent. Also at additional cost. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
