Why can’t Germans take compliment?

[musicaddict]

That's why "Kann man nicht meckern." is such a huge compliment!
It means despite trying, you can't find a thing to complain about, which is the biggest compliment one can get.

French people don't tolerate any France slander except if you're french yourself. It's a "No one can bully my sibling but me" kind of patriotism

Meanwhile in New York they’re like “yeah it smells like piss but that’s just part of the charm”

I told a german guy I wanted to visit Germany (mentioned Frankfurt) and he was literally offended 😂

[svnnyvee]

Yes!!! And whenever someone says “German is so hard” to a German person they’re like “YES! YOU ARE CORRECT!” They love being humbled I swear.

As a German I once kind of insulted a Japanese friend by telling her that no, actually Germany is really bad, when she was trying to compliment Germany for something. We‘re just kind of hardwired that way.

Im a german and i ALWAYS did this and didnt think of. Now when you say it, it sounds so funny i had to laugh so hard 😂😂

As a german I can confirm that we're constantly am Meckern

As a New Zealander, WE can make fun of ourselves, but NOBODY is allowed to make fun of us. Except Australia, because we love to make fun of them back. That's our big bro.

As an Italian, you can complain about a lot of things in this country, but touch the food AND YOU SIX FEET UNDER

[dennissvensson]

To some extent, self criticism even for your own country is generally a good thing.

Every German says "why are you here? You could be in the sunshine! You chose wrong"

I have a German friend who told me in German schools a whole lot of the historical curriculum is about hammering in the horrific magnitude of the actions committed during WW2 and the Holocaust. That probably makes pride in their country an idea that is uncomfortable at best.

Tell me you’ve never been to Poland without telling me you’ve never been to Poland

Reading the comment section makes my heart warm. Humans are interesting being. Can we just love and accept each other? ❤

Canadians tend to love making fun of ourselves until it’s in a negative comparison to the United States lol 😂

[duncano]

My relatives are from Germany and they carry shame in their hearts so deeply about the past. It’s carried forward even to today.

i have German friends and when i compliment germany they say "ong thats so true germany is awesome"

[katehamada]

My bf and I plan to move to Germany when I finish my studies and he has enough work experience. We have been living in Japan for 10 years now and I can say that most of your videos about Germans are very relatable to the culture here 😊
