have you ever seen the letter ß?
do you know how to pronounce it?
i'll give you a few words you might know:
>Scheiße (shit)
>Straße (street)
>groß (big)
>Gruß (greeting)
>Preußen (Prussia)
>Spaß (fun)
Have you ever seen the letter ß?
I've seen β
sjijse
strase
gros
gruus
preusen
spas
ß = ss
Yes because we still study your useless language in schools for some fucking reason
Yes, you click your heels afters saying ß
What's the difference between s and ß, pronunciation wise in german?
isn't that the one that goes something like hi-sei
or am I thinking of a different symbol
yep
KEKED
For me, it sounds cool
this
>ss
that's not okay, germany
ß is in the middle of s and ss in terms of pronounciation. sharper s but smoother ss
I hate that fucking letter.
why
"ß" is a historical ligature (two or more merged letters) of the letters "s" and the archaic long-s "ſ" (the "f" without a dash). It's used for stretching the s that comes after a diphthong (two vowels) or a long vowel. You pronounce it like a soft, long s.
*sharp and long... it's called Scharfes S after all
Yes
It's a double s and is called eszett (es-tsett)
>Heim ins Reich
Großdeutschland
ẞ is more or less "sz" if that helps, the bigger use from what I've seen is preventing "ss" from making vowels short though
true
many foreigners pronounce straße like strasse with a very short a
It's groß
Hey ßeter
Yes it's just ss in a single letter
Scheisse
Strasse
Gross
Gruss
Preussen
Spass
We use it since Germany sold us printing presses. In words like Houss.
why did the swiss get rid of it
>he doesn’t know of the looooooooong ſ
Retarded germans dont have a Single letter for "sch"
I know about it. I wish we still used that.
And it is beautiful
lucky for you its the integral symbol
