Language at the Oktoberfest


"No a degree, biddscheen" - "Still a liter of beer, please": this sentence should Oktoberfest visitors dominate.

A toast to the atmosphere! "Promille For 5.58 you need to toast, however, say a few times.

Emergency help in the noise of the beer tent also demonstrative of the empty Hold High Krug and asking for a look into the eyes of the operation.

"A chicken, a Giant pretzel and Obatzd" - "A chicken, a pretzel and a small cheese": one of the standard menus at the Oktoberfest.

"Servus beinand 'or anything formal" Griaß God ": friendly welcome.

"Hoit dei Bappn" - "Be quiet but" defensive measure against too talkative table neighbors.

"Where is'ns Haisl?" - "Where can I find the nearest toilet, please?" Contrary to rumors otherwise, the question running at the Beer not as decorous.

"Drink the Noagerl no?" - "Can I have been clear?" - Question of operations, which collect Maßkrüge. The real Bayer almost never drink everything from paint and lets the rest have come in glass - despite the high beer prices.

The "Diridari" - the "money" - is always an important topic at the Oktoberfest. Each year, the measure will cost more. This year it is from 8.00 to 8.30 euros paid. The jammers on this state should not be exaggerated. Munich real answer otherwise happy times with the sentence: "Nachad warst hoit dahoam bliebm, bei deim Tää."
