I need help figured out what this word means in German?

Question

I was at the airport and there was a few German people behind me and I hear one of them say a word that sounded like "sch-veetz-a-lyge" but I have no idea how to spell it. I've heard it on youtube as well. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Well, the first part of the word could also just mean "schwitze", as in "ich schwitze" (I sweat/I am sweating), but the second part???? Any chance it was maybe "Leute" (basically spoken as what you spelled out, but with a "d" instead of the "g"). Than what you heard would mean something like "I'm really sweating, guys", as in "Geez, I'm hot" (temperaturewise). Though come to think of it, in an airport? With aircondition? Hmmm.... Where did you find it on youtube? That would really help.

OK, you said he sais it at 0:34, so what you want to know is: "Spiels alleine!" ("shpeelz a-line-e)Which means: "Play it alone!" as he was pretty frustrated that he lost in his favorite computer game (cart driving). Hope that helped!

Answer 2

IF ANYONE COMES TO AMERICA THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SPEAK AMERICAN     ENGLISH

Answer 3

um well i dont actually know what the word means but i think that based on how you showed the pronunciation it might be spelled schwiez leig or something like that.  try searching it spelled the way you wrote it or this way and see what comes up.  but i'm sure someone will be able to answer your question on this site too. hope i helped.

oh WAIT!!!!!!!! i'm pretty sure that swchiez is a way of say switzerland in german,  so i'm not sure if thats maybe what you heard...

Answer 4

Could you post where you heard it on youtube?  Then we can have something better to go on.

Oh, pertaining to another suggestion, Germans say for Switzerland "Schweiz".  The "ei" is pronounced like an "i", not an "e".  Granted some dialects, such as Berliner, pronounce words with "ei" like an "e", but I have never heard a Berliner actually say this word "schveetz" in particular.  

Answer 5

By your description, it seems it would be written "schwieze Leig", but this is not something I recogize, and there are no entries found for it in the German-English dictionaries I use.
