Ya know the english language is generally fine and all but y'all just don't have decent words for some german essentials

For example I will never not hate the english word for Brötchen

I mean I know if I say either bread roll or bun people are gonna generally understand what I mean but neither of those words actually encompass the full range of german Brötchen

To me this is a bread roll:

And this is a bun:

But both of those words do not feel correct for any of these things:

Those are proper Brötchen and calling them bread roll or bun just feels so wrong

#jessi rambles #german stuff #Brötchen basically just means little bread btw #another word that just doesn't have the same vibe in english is Eichhörnchen btw #like yeah squirrel is technically the correct word but Eichhörnchen just has a completely different (and more accurate) vibe
