The funfair is in town!

in #photography5 years ago

The funfair is in town here in Luzern and people are excited about it! Kiddy games, rollercoasters, ferriswheels and foooooooood! I love the sight of funfairs with the lights everywhere, especially if it is reflecting in the water like this.! When you look in the water you even see the Swiss national symbol in the middle while you don't see it on the original ferriswheel.

To be honest, I don't really go in attractions but I really like to walk around. Also the international food stands are super appealing to give everything a try. AND!!! I even found a Dutch snacks stand, so I ordered some poffertjes (small pancakes with butter and powdered sugar) and surely will be back later in the week for the greasy Dutch snacks which I haven't had in a while :)

Language and funfairs!



The funny thing is that funfairs are for everybody from every country. But being internationally orientated myself sometimes is the challenge itself when shifting through the languages. It sometimes gets so confusing, and even more when I am tired. Let me run you through a normal say of switching languages:

A text from a English friend-> Did you already go to the funfair?
Me sending to a Dutch friend -> Ben je al naar de kermis geweest?
A German colleague asked me-> Bist du schon zur Messe gegangen?
And another Swiss colleage asked me -> Bis scho chilbi gsi?

See no matter what nationality, everybody likes funfairs!


But that doesn't mean that sometimes these languages totally flip me out! :)

...that must mean cryptocurrency meetups too then (like I just posted).

Would you consider one? -- Avoid answering me here if possible.

Instead, I'll give you a different question to answer here:

What is your proficiency level on these languages:

English
Dutch
German
Swedish (Which language is this, it says: German, Italian, French, Romansh is all spoken there)

If you had to gauge them... 75% ? 10% ? 55%?

Are you in fluent in all of them?

You can see how much I really know about languages.

By the way google translate says " Bis scho chilbi gsi?" is Luxembourgish, but it still doesn't translate well.

Hhahahahha, good luck searching on that one @intelliguy !
It is Swiss-german, which is a bit in between of a dialect and an offical language! Very difficult to find online and spoken and written different in every region (AKA challenging)

But uhhh, crypto meetups? Hell yeah I would go if possible, in fact I will be attending Steemfest in Poland this year
Proficiency in all languages? Dutch fluent 100%, English fluent 100%, German 70% and Swissgerman is the most fresh to me, so I would say 30%

Haha! Do you speak/understand so many languages @karinxxl? Must have been crazy for you. And the funfair looks like a lot of FUN. Festive season is starting in India and hence, we get to see events like that coming soon. Great picture of the ferris wheel!

Oeee fiesta time always nice!! Is winter time festive season for you guys ? @sugandhaseth

yeah I am working all of those languages,..its in process I would say! :D

Have a good time Karin. I was home during that time. Go out have fun. 😁

It is dark early I would say @greendeliverence to save my own ass ;)))

Yeah, its about having fun man!
