Czernowitzer

Subject: Re: [Cz-L] Our love affair with the German language.
Sorry, I can't agree with you. I spoke and speak German without Ruthenian or
any other words mixed into it. As jokes we used to say "Semmeln instead of
Semln or Broetchen (we used Broetchen as belegtes-Brot) and expression like
"Dann LES ICH MIR das Morgenblatt" "ich mir" dann mach ich mir eie Suppe;
dann hab ich mir ein Kleid gekauft; gann bin ich mir///
We might have had our own Luschen but until today I know no Ruthenian - we
had Zipzer maids but they spoke German to me._
These are my memories.

Not too many.
The majority spoke a German that was an offense to the ear
and a disgrace to the language of Schiller.
It was a cold - blooded murder of the German language.
It was only right ,considering what the germans did to us.
