Comment on In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds?

  There are also weird German rules about article endings. A band I like has a song called “Herz Eines Trache” which means Heart of a Dragon. I don’t speak great German, so first time I heard it I wasted an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out what eine Strache is.

    It’s actually “Herz eines Drachen” ;)

      Ha. Thanks. Like I said, my Deutsch is kinda shit.

  Regionally it can also be “haste”.

  I think “Sach ma, haste jewent oda is det der Rejen?” sounds just lovely. Ü
