Trying to explain civil war to an american:
Could someone please enlighten me on why this is funny? I’m too germ*n-brained to understand
The same term you use for city or town (directly from Hamburg) is now used to refer to a German-derived American meal…
Thus, burgerkrieg just sounds like burger war, and we all know how we now refer to Amerikkkaners as “burgerbrains”?
Ahh okay thank you, though Bürger translates to citizen.
Oh, I just got the impression cuz of city names like Pittsburgh and Hamburg
It’s similar to English words like Farmer, Lawyer, Bowyer, Sawyer and so on, where they’re a person that works in that craft, though for cities instead when it was much more unusual to live in one.
Bürgerkrieg
BürgerbekriegenMakes sense
Burger means “burgh” which relates to the term “town”
Now, if we stretch the etymological roots and meaning from “town” to “city” to “citizen” (fr. “citoyen”) to “civil”, thus, we abstract it and simplify it to such terms…
And krieg just means “war”
2 Additions:
“Krieg” means generally “war” yes , but literally translated it means “to get” , that aspect is missing in the english
And Bürger is not only from the town , but he himself is also "the Protected one , or the one that has Protection (lat.burga: Protection).
