What is this? Does it have knives? Never seen this. If you use it to cut lettuce it would be a SALATSCHNEIDER, a cutter, ...

Salladskvarn in Swedish. (I suppose.)

Väderkvarn.

“den som kommer först till qvarnen, får först malet” (1880), from Sachsenspiegel (1220–1235): “Die ok irst to der molen kumt, die sal erst malen.” (‘He who comes to the mill first shall grind first.’)

What would you call these three adaptations? )))

I’m useless when it comes to anything related to kitchen, but isn’t the first one a ‘mixerstav’? (“mixing stick”?)

And just maybe, was there a glimpse of a ‘kvarn’ in there, too?

Mixerstav.

(Elektrisk) saltkvarn.

Pratkvarn.

Molen?

Mühle? (engl. mill)

 

[bluemoon7]

So ....

The verbs we talked about. In German:

schleifen = a) to grind (sharpen the knife before using), to sand (the the wooden table)
b) to drag something or someone along the floor (example: Linus von den Peanuts schleift seine Decke hinter sich her)

schneiden = to cut

schleudern = to skid (on an icy road), to hurl (a rock into the lake), to spin (Ich schleudere den Salat, die Waschmaschine schleudert die Wäsche)

mahlen = to grind, to mill (In German you "mahlen" the grain as well as coffee beans)
die Mühle = the mill (Getreidemühle, Pfeffermühle, Wassermühle, Kaffeemühle, ...)
die Tretmühle = tread mill

mischen, mixen = to mix

 

[bluemoon7]

Snus.

One day I am doing quite well understanding your Swedish posts and some days, like today lol, I only understand train station lolol.
Like my brain has a language glitch.

Snus = Schnupftabak?


proverb:
Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof
= literally: All I understand is train station!
= meaning: I don´t understand a thing!

[zinniabooklover]

schleifen = a) to grind (sharpen the knive before using),

I like this. Very appealing.

N.B. knives (pl.), knife (sing.)

Mühle? (engl. mill)

Yes. But how about ›der molen‹ in »Die ok irst to der molen kumt, die sal erst malen«? I suppose this is Lower German, and it should also be noted that it is from the 13th Century.

Also, I’m surprised that linguistic sample does not have its proper noun given with initial capital letter. Is that a more modern thing, then? Or could it perhaps be, that I am in fact completely lost and don’t know the first thing of what I’m trying to say? You tell me!

Preach it, sister!

I am no expert on early German languages, but if I remember correctly the scentence translates:

Wer zuerst zu der Mühle kommt, der soll auch zuerst mahlen.
Who first arrives at the mill, shall therefore mill first. (The translation tries to stay close to the original wording, not very elegant)

Yes! Also, older versions of German don´t have a standardized grammar, like we have today. There were variations.

Preach it, sister!

I want to respond with AMEN lol, but bear with me, my uni years are long gone ....
