Schietwedder

June 5th, 2017

On Saturday, we were coming back from one of the numerous birthday parties to which my daughter has been invited this year. It had started to rain, and we were waiting for our tram, commenting on the weather, and my daughter concluded with: Schietwedder!”, which is plattdüütsch (my grandma’s mother tongue, a regional language I still understand but sadly don’t speak).
The lady next to us turned around, smiled, and said: “Ja, richtiges norddeutsches Schietwedder!”
It turned out she was from somewhere between Hamburg and St. Peter-Ording.
It’s a small world.
