She went looking for a summer job with the Eastern neighbors. On a German site she saw that 'Pferdeäpfelsammler' were being sought in Hiddensee. Picking apples – Janneke could do that. She had previously helped on a fruit farm before. When she called the German number, she soon found out that this job was a very special type of apple. Horse manure resembles apples in shape. That's why they call it 'Pferdeäpfel' in Germany. Do you think the German word 'Pferdeäpfel' sounds strange? Just think of our word cow pie. That sounds just as strange to a German! 4. Tote Granny Not every German will know 'Tote Oma'. The term originates from the former GDR. There it was photo editor a well-known dish that looks like a kind of knit, a real classic with black pudding. The sausage gives the dish a reddish-brown color and this makes it look a bit sinister at first glance. How did the court get its name? It's not so hard to guess now! German humor with a wink. Ludwig from Jena in Germany told Claudia from Utrecht that it was time for 'Tote Oma'. Then there was a moment of silence. Claudia took the German name 'Tote Oma' a little too literally. “Gosh, Ludwig's grandmother is dying. How bad!” Claudia thought it was very inappropriate that Ludwig talked so enthusiastically about his dying grandmother. What she didn't realize is that 'Tote Oma' is a traditional DDR dish. Pure (n)ostalgia for Ludwig. If we do not master a foreign language flawlessly, all kinds of misunderstandings can arise.
