The German word "Ei" can mean

- egg

- oh!

- wow!

and more.

So, some phrases sound quite funny:

- Ei, wie nett! - (Egg) Wow, how nice!

- Ei, wer bist du denn? (Egg) Oh, who are you?)

- Ei jei jei! - (Egg) Oh dear!

- Ei verbibbsch! (Saxonian) - (Egg) You don't say!

- Ei Gude wie (Hessian) - (Egg) Hi, how are you?

- Ei machen (to make egg) - to stroke, to caress

Eggjoy our language! πŸ₯š

@jensclasen Very interesting. I have an Amish family client and they're teaching me some Pennsylvania Dutch words. So far I've learned "gentle, book, egg". The mom has taught me more but I can't remember them all lol!!

@jensclasen @fasnix Ei, ich war doch am Wochenende weg!

(Egg) Well, I was gone on the weekend.
