So in some previous posts I have given you a few basic Plautdietsch words, pronunciations and meanings. Do you find yourself asking what the heck is Plautdietsch?
Go to Wiki and you find this...
A low Prussian variety of East Low German with Dutch influences.
Jo, daut!
(Yes, that!)
;)
Mein
Grootfoda, Grootmutta,
Foda, en Onkel und ne Taunt
have all used this dialect.
I have been fascinated with it since I was a little girl. I loved hearing the stories they had to tell
and they were mesmerizing.
