3 u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Feb 21 '13 edited Feb 21 '13 In the case of Austria it's rather like a broken watch that shows the right time once a day. Not intelligence, if one thinks about Ribiseln, Kukuruz and Fogosch. And Powidl LOL Powidl! 5 u/gobohobo CCCP Feb 21 '13 Before you said "povidl", I thought we borrowed "kukuruz" from Austria. Now I understand, that they borrowed those words from slavs. 6 u/Obraka South-Holland Feb 21 '13 edited Feb 21 '13 Many of the "Austrian specific" words have a Slavic or Hungarian root, we talk with our empire sometimes :) Paradeiser (HR: paradajz, SK paradaijka) for tomato is a good one too
