Date: June 7th, 2026 1:10 PM Author: idiotic regret the German quote marks are a nice touch although I tend also to use «these ones» as well (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871857&forum_id=2),#49920222) |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:12 PM Author: Marvelous Senate Those are called guillemets (Willy's) and they're very French. Does German use them too? I always was taught „” in der Schule. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871857&forum_id=2),#49920225) |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:17 PM Author: idiotic regret I've seen them both used but maybe I'm confusing myself (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871857&forum_id=2),#49920240) |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:24 PM Author: idiotic regret Huh: German quotation marks, affectionately known as Gänsefüßchen (little geese feet), differ significantly from English marks in both shape and placement.The standard quotation style in Germany and Austria is „...“: Opening quote: Placed at the bottom (like a double comma), often remembered as "99 below". Closing quote: Placed at the top, like an inverted English closing quote. Common Variations Depending on the region and the medium, you may encounter a few other common styles: Swiss German (Switzerland & Liechtenstein): Typically uses French guillemets pointing outwards: «...». Book Printing: Often uses German guillemets, which are angled quotes pointing inwards: »...«. Casual Typing/Digital: Standard English quotes ("...") are very common and accepted in emails and casual web communication to avoid formatting errors |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:30 PM Author: idiotic regret In Italian, quotation marks are called virgolette. While standard English double quotes (“ ”) are common in digital communication, traditional typography relies on angular marks called caporali (« »).1. Types of Italian Quotation MarksPrimary (Caporali): « » (guillemets or French quotes)Secondary (Virgolette doppie): “ ” (used for quotes within quotes)Tertiary (Virgolette singole): ‘ ’ (used for a third layer of nested quotes) In Spanish, you can use either angular quotes (« ») or standard double quotes (" "). Angular quotes are the traditional preference in formal writing and literature, while regular quotes are often used casually and on keyboards.Types of QuotesAngular Quotes (comillas latinas or comillas españolas): « and »English Quotes (comillas inglesas): “ and ”Single Quotes (comillas simples): ' and ' (used only to enclose a quote within an existing quote) In Portuguese, quotation marks are called aspas. Usage varies slightly depending on whether you are writing European Portuguese (Portugal) or Brazilian Portuguese, but standard rules apply for quotes, emphasis, and layout.Types of Quotation MarksEuropean Portuguese: Traditionally prefers angular quotation marks, also known as guillemets (<< >>).Brazilian Portuguese: Strictly uses English-style double quotation marks (" "). |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:34 PM Author: trip zombie-like public bath digit ratio Never noticed this.
Background is German book 50 years old. Foreground is new, also German, but I got it in Austria. Seems impossible they would change that punctuation needlessly for an almost identical market |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:38 PM Author: Marvelous Senate "Austrians would never pointlessly..."
Let me stop you right there hoss |
|
Date: June 7th, 2026 1:47 PM Author: trip zombie-like public bath digit ratio I've got two others, both German publishers but Austrian authors, and purchased in Austria, but the quotes are different for each book.
I wonder if this is a time issue though or could be the market it was intended for |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:41 PM Author: idiotic regret Huh. I never paid attention to any of this. Have probably been getting this all wrong for many years. OUT the books. |
|
Date: June 7th, 2026 1:44 PM Author: trip zombie-like public bath digit ratio Die verlorene Ehre der Katerina Blum, which is a classic. And a book called Iowa which i haven't opened yet. I think it's the meanderings of a German woman from her time in the us |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:55 PM Author: idiotic regret just from those few sentences that dumb millennial Kraut broad rambling about her time in Iowa sounds painful, like the woman in the "inside a lady's head" thread (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871857&forum_id=2),#49920309) |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:29 PM Author: Marvelous Senate I think he messed up his own speech. He used the slogan many times with different variations. I think he just messed up his own quote here because it doesn't make any sense lol. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871857&forum_id=2),#49920260) |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:32 PM Author: idiotic regret I think his was the standard formulation but I'm not sure: Die Worte „Vor uns liegt Deutschland, in uns marschiert Deutschland und hinter uns kommt Deutschland!“ stammen nicht direkt von Adolf Hitler selbst, sondern wurden maßgeblich durch den NS-Funktionär und Reichsjugendführer Baldur von Schirach geprägt. Sie waren Teil der nationalsozialistischen Propaganda, um die Jugend und das Volk ideologisch gleichzuschalten.Der Satz diente dazu, die absolute Unterordnung des Einzelnen unter den totalitären Staat und die nationalsozialistische Ideologie zu demonstrieren. Er sollte eine totale Hingabe an das Regime suggerieren – von der Gegenwart (vor uns) über die innere Haltung (in uns) bis hin zu kommenden Generationen (hinter uns).Wenn Sie tiefer in die Mechanismen der nationalsozialistischen Propaganda und die Indoktrination der Jugend eintauchen möchten, bieten folgende Ressourcen verlässliche historische Aufarbeitungen:Auf Memobase finden Sie historische Audio- und Filmdokumente von Kundgebungen aus dieser Zeit.Die Anne Frank Stiftung bietet fundierte Artikel zum Übergang Deutschlands in die Diktatur und den Methoden der NS-Führung. |

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:42 PM Author: idiotic regret I think from purely a technical perspective he must be the most electric speaker in the history of mankind. I find it almost impossible not to stand up and cheer at this final sentence. No wonder these speeches are essentially impossible to find anywhere online.

Date: June 7th, 2026 1:46 PM Author: Marvelous Senate 100% agree. I listen to these speeches when my team is down at halftime. I think they should play this for the players before the Super Bowl.
My favorite bit he does is when he talks about how the whole world is spinning in one direction, well we're going to other way. Shit is stirring af. |
