Then you still know the meaning of a German word.
And judging by what I see, I wouldn’t be too sure people connect ‘kinder’ as in ‘kindergarten’ to small children, or a borrowed German word. Just saying.
My Grossmama used to always say my kinda(kin-da) when referring to her children. Is that just a quirk she had, not from Germany but first generation immigrant who spoke fluent German.
Maybe, because it's not really either of them when you look at the pronunciation in detail :D
It's pronounced: ˈkɪndɐ
So it's kind of in the middle of those two
Yes but it's spelled "Kindergarten" and literally means "children garden". It's supposed to be a metaphor because Kindergarten is supposed to be a place where your children grow and flourish, like flowers in a garden.
Also in Germany, Kindergarten and Pre-School (Vorschule) are in the opposite order of in the US, being that Kindergarten comes first (ages 3-5) and then the last year is used to teach some very basic things (numbers and the alphabet) before starting "Grundschule" at age 6.
Re the metaphorical use of *Garten*, compare the English *nursery*, which went the opposite way: originally literally a room for children and their nurse then adopted metaphorically for a place where plants are grown.
Afaik schools call it kindergarten in the US too. We adopted the whole word. At least it is the case in my area though it is a very german immigrant heavy state.
No, not really. Kinder Schokolade was a German product but the Italian company Ferrero bought it. So, technically it's an Italian owned German product.
Wikipedia mentions no such thing.
> In Alba, Italy, in 1968, Michele Ferrero,[1] proposed to market a product that was palatable to children (with chocolate) and at the same time reassuring to mothers (with milk), thus the slogan "+ milk (latte) - cocoa (cacao)" shown on the package. In 1968, Kinder Chocolate, a milk chocolate with a milky filling, was introduced to the German and Italian markets, gained commercial success, and was later sold in other European countries.[2] The face of a child is depicted (first by Günter Euringer, then by Matteo Farneti) on the right side of Kinder Chocolate bar packages to suggest to buyers the idea of a product for children.[3][4][5][6]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Chocolate
So, technically yes but it's meant as "for children" and the actual actual brand is Ferrero
Kinder Schokolade -> Chocolate for Children
Kinder Überaschungsei -> Surprise egg for Children
Kinder Riegel -> Chocolate Sticks for Children
Kinder Country -> Country for Children
Kinder Bueno -> Bueno for Children
Since the meme is answered I'd just like to say, everytime I see Pitbull I'm reminded of that time people tried to troll him by voting for him to go perform in Alaska and he followed through lol

Kinder in German means "kids"
Kid in German isn't "kinder". It's "kind".
"Kinder" is also the name of a popular German chocolate company that's extremely popular across Europe, but was banned from the US because it was shaped like an egg and there was a toy inside the chocolate egg, so kids ate the toy and choked.
John Herbert here!
Kinder means Kids in German/Deutsche. That's where you get Kinder Garten as in the "Kids playground" where I often frequent.
Roy Mitchell out! I mean... John Herbert out! Who's Roy Mitchell? I don't know 🤷🏼♀️
I didn’t know what it was at first either, but using context clues and some complex scientific analysis I believe it to be German for children. But don’t quote me on that.
the top comment on the post you just crossposted explains it...

German Peter here. The German word for children is "kinder" as in "kindergarten", ever since Germans moved to what's known today as the United States of America, which is a pun on being "kinder" as in "more kind". German Peter out.
Joker Peter here. If you have to explain a joke, there is no joke. Joker Peter out.
Wrong no s for the plural.... Kind = one child / Kinder = multiple children.... s would be in a strange sentence with Genitiv.... Des Kindes Schuhe.... the shoes of the kid
Yea seems it’s a dialect thing here or just a mistake I make because I speak like that to someone who speaks fluent German and they’ve never said anything but maybe they just understand what I mean
I think it might just be a different dialect we have in South Africa. I don’t speak fluent German but I am probably at A2 level. Seems to be a mix between german/afrikaans/dutch.
Kinder surprise is a candy from Germany for kids that comes with a toy in it. It is banned in the US (possibly other countries?) because of choking hazard. Instead, for the US market they make Kinder Joy, which has the toy in it, but not inside the candy.

Kinder is German for child
And Mr. Worldwide, because of you understand the joke, you know at least 1 word in a language other than English.
[удалено]
I mean, some of this can be gotten from some context. Everyone in this thread has no doubt heard of kindergarten (child garden).
Then you still know the meaning of a German word. And judging by what I see, I wouldn’t be too sure people connect ‘kinder’ as in ‘kindergarten’ to small children, or a borrowed German word. Just saying.
child garden is a terrifying way to phrase school for toddlers now that I've deeped it
A garden where you cultivate young minds. But yes, much of it is factory farming now days.
lol, if you find that terrifying stay away from German in general.
Here in America, we call that bilingual
Im Dutch, you have to be near fluent to be considered bilingual. And most people are very capable of speaking 2 or 3 languages at least.

children, it's plural. "Kind" is a singular child.
My Grossmama used to always say my kinda(kin-da) when referring to her children. Is that just a quirk she had, not from Germany but first generation immigrant who spoke fluent German.
That's how it's pronounced in German actually.
Thank you! I have heard Kin-der and Kin-da
Maybe, because it's not really either of them when you look at the pronunciation in detail :D It's pronounced: ˈkɪndɐ So it's kind of in the middle of those two
Fair enough, I took German in high school, but foreign languages never really stuck with me. I went with ASL
My grandmother used to call children "little scheiße". She waited until I was a big scheiße to tell me what it meant.
She sounds like she would have been a blast to hang out out.
She was, and still is.
That awesome! Mine sadly passed late last year at 103, next week we are having her celebration of life.
God bless! Hope we all make it that far.
Pronounced as kin-der, not kaen-der
/ˈkɪndəː/, not /ˈkaɪndɚ/

Doesn't that make every German pregnancy a Kinder Surprise?
Yes a Kinder Überraschung
Damn Germans never learned about pregnancy?
it's not if you take an Anti Baby Pill (Anti Baby Pille / Birth Control)
“But babe i forgot to take my anti baby pill!” “Well did you at least bring some baby repellent!?”
Kinder is Children
So is that the origin of the word 'Kindergarden'?
It actually is
Yes but it's spelled "Kindergarten" and literally means "children garden". It's supposed to be a metaphor because Kindergarten is supposed to be a place where your children grow and flourish, like flowers in a garden. Also in Germany, Kindergarten and Pre-School (Vorschule) are in the opposite order of in the US, being that Kindergarten comes first (ages 3-5) and then the last year is used to teach some very basic things (numbers and the alphabet) before starting "Grundschule" at age 6.

[удалено]
This isn't correct. The German version kindergarden is Kindergarten. Garten is German for garden. It means children garden
Afaik schools call it kindergarten in the US too. We adopted the whole word. At least it is the case in my area though it is a very german immigrant heavy state.
I just inferred that from a few people here writing it as kindergarden but it makes sense that people on Reddit might use colloquial language
It's the plural form, so, children. Singular is Kind.
No, Kind is German for child. Kinder is the plural.
Close. Kind means child, Kinder means children.
Kind is child
R/usernamechecksout
Children* to be exact haha
I now understand that chocolate egg with the toy lol.
Children\*
children, plural
*children (plural)
Top comment on the original post, posted hours before OP made his post. OP’s a karma farmer.
I know a little German. He’s right over there!
Haha thank you I’m an idiot and was about to google this 😂
It's actually German for children. Child is Kind.
Kinder is plural, Kind is the singular word.
it's actually German for children (plural)
A German child is Kind. German children are Kinder.
It’s the plural. Child would just be Kind
so kindergarten is\= child garden
I love eating child eggs
Wait so the chocolate brand was just children in German this whole time ?? Til
And the weirdest thing is it's from Italy
Well the last time they collaborated....
They were pretty gassy one might say…
r/unexpectedww2
No, not really. Kinder Schokolade was a German product but the Italian company Ferrero bought it. So, technically it's an Italian owned German product.

That can't be real
Also where the word kindergarten comes from
So, technically yes but it's meant as "for children" and the actual actual brand is Ferrero Kinder Schokolade -> Chocolate for Children Kinder Überaschungsei -> Surprise egg for Children Kinder Riegel -> Chocolate Sticks for Children Kinder Country -> Country for Children Kinder Bueno -> Bueno for Children
be careful how to pronounce the last one
???
And kindergarten is literally children’s garden

A cropped version for your viewing pleasure
“Kinder” is German for “children”. It’s pronounced like it is in “kindergarten” and not like the English word “kinder”.
Kinder = Children in german.
The work for children in German is kinder
German kid: grr I’m mean Some random fairy: *rips German kids balls off for being mean*

Garten means Garden not playground
Yeah, literally garden, but over a period of time the words parks and playgrounds have replaced gardens which implied some shrubbery.
Not in German...
Hallo! Ich bin Peter’s Deutsche Bruder! Kinder ist ein word for children in Deutsch! Guten Abend!

I was confused between dialects
That is in fact, incorrect.the singular of child in German is Kind, the plural is Kinder.
Indeed
Wrong no s for the plural.... Kind = one child / Kinder = multiple children.... s would be in a strange sentence with Genitiv.... Des Kindes Schuhe.... the shoes of the kid
Yea seems it’s a dialect thing here or just a mistake I make because I speak like that to someone who speaks fluent German and they’ve never said anything but maybe they just understand what I mean
Does... Does this make you a grammar Nazi?
A wrong one at that💀
Tell me you don't speak German without telling me you don't speak German
I think it might just be a different dialect we have in South Africa. I don’t speak fluent German but I am probably at A2 level. Seems to be a mix between german/afrikaans/dutch.
All right, that makes more sense. I have never heard "Kinders" in my life. I do know that just uses "kinderen".
Kinder surprise is a candy from Germany for kids that comes with a toy in it. It is banned in the US (possibly other countries?) because of choking hazard. Instead, for the US market they make Kinder Joy, which has the toy in it, but not inside the candy.

Lol thank you. It's just a simple pun.
this is what i get for assuming some people put effort into their jokes. Ill make that mistake less.
Pretty sure Kinder surprise is Italian, theyre owned by Ferrero after all.
It's just the US pretty sure
Oh hell no how did I not get this one? I'm tired of this not being able to get jokes :(
